Chapter 14

The next morning, Duan Yanqing's family got up early, Liu Caihua was busy preparing breakfast, Duan Yanqing was busy arranging clothes for the market, and Duan Changsheng was writing on the ground with a branch.

Duan Changsheng saw Duan Wuji at a glance, and said with a smile: "Hey, when did Er Dan come back? You said you are no longer home, but brother still misses you. Snacks, is half a year fast enough?" , almost as tall as my brother."

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this, and said to his elder brother while practicing boxing and kicking: "The third grandfather's cattle were sold yesterday, and there is nothing to do with the cattle this winter. I came back last night."

When the time was not long, Liu Caihua shouted loudly: "The rice is cooked, let's serve!"

The family gathered around the table and started eating.Duan Wuji reached out and picked up two buns to eat.

While eating, he yelled, "Oh, I'm starving to death today. Why is this meal made so slowly!"

Duan Changsheng smiled and said, "Father, look, this hungry wolf has gone down the mountain again."

Duan Yanqing smiled when he heard this: "Changsheng, Wuji, you all go to the market with us today. You can help us get back the New Year's goods you bought."

Duan Changsheng said angrily after hearing this: "Buying New Year's goods, buying New Year's goods, how many New Year's goods can we buy? Is our family rich?"

Duan Yanqing laughed when he heard this. "Don't worry about it, you can take it when the time comes, and you won't be able to take it."

Duan Changsheng nodded. "Father, this is what you said. You have to buy as much as I can. Until I can't take it anymore."

Duan Yanqing listened and nodded. "Didn't I say so?"

"That's fine, then I won't eat, let's pack up and go now."

Liucaihua glanced at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Damn, hurry up and eat, let's go to the market when we're full. Mother can't wait."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji put down the bowl and chopsticks. "Okay, I won't eat today. I'll eat less. I'll talk about it later when I'm hungry. Dad, lock the door and let's go now."

After Liu Caihua cleaned up the dishes and locked the door of the house, the family quickly walked straight to Duanjiaji.

After entering the Duanjiaji, one can see that the main street is bustling with people coming and going, and the beach seats on the street are everywhere, and you can't see the end at a glance.

Duan Yanqing looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Wuji, you can arrange to buy new year's goods today. Daddy will check your ability to handle things. You can go wherever you want, and you can buy whatever you want. What do you think?"

Duan Wuji listened and nodded. "Okay, all you have to do is pay."

Duan Changsheng laughed and said: "Father, this is called donkey driving a shaft, a horse-drawn pulley, and Wuji's master is playing around nonsense."

After hearing this, Duan Wuji gave his brother a sneer and said: "I am the head of the house and fooling around? Then you can be the head of the house, will dad let you be the head of the house?

Father, mother, let's go then. "

Duan Wuji led the family straight to a shop marked "Li's Tailor Shop". There are no customers in this shop yet, so the boss greeted him quickly.

"Hey, among the four guest officials, who are you making clothes for?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "We make two pieces for each of the four members of our family. Bring your best fabric and let us choose?"

The owner of the tailor's shop was worrying that he had no business to do. When he heard that there were eight clothes to make, he immediately beamed with joy.

"Respected guest, wait a moment, I'll go pick up the fabric."

After finishing speaking, the boss turned around and ran into the back room. Before he had much time, he took out more than a dozen pieces of cloth from the back room and put them on the counter.

"Respected guest, you can choose! Our fabrics are cheap and have a variety of colors, you are sure to be satisfied!"

When Duan Yanqing saw it, he first picked out two bolts of cloth for himself, one earthy yellow and one sea blue.

"Boss, use these two bolts of cloth to make two clothes for me."

"Okay! Honorable guest, wait a moment, let me measure your figure."

After speaking, the boss took a ruler from the counter and took notes while measuring.

Duan Wuji kept flattering his father when he saw it. "Father, you really have a good eye. This yellow cloth looks dirty even if you don't wash it for a few days. This blue dress is elegant, with the demeanor of a scholar."

Duan Changsheng stuck out his tongue. "Damn, you can really talk, I can't blame my parents for liking you, I just found out today that you can not only eat, but also have a sweet mouth, which is much better than my brother and me.

Boss, you can also use the two colors of cloth just now to make two clothes for me. "

"Okay, just wait a moment, it will be fine soon."

Duan Wuji looked at his mother. "Mom, what color do you want on both sides?"

Willow cauliflower laughed and said, "Mother hasn't picked it yet? What color should I choose? My mother is confused.

Hey, boy, why don't you help my mother give advice? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Okay! Mother, look at how beautiful this blue silk is! There is a small flower of different colors on it, how beautiful it is!"

Liucaihua laughed and said, "Mother has also taken a liking to this piece of fabric, but this silk material is too expensive, it's time for your father to tell you, you prodigal woman."

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "I don't care, Wuji is willing to buy it for you, so you can wear it."

"Okay, boss, you can use this piece of fabric to make me a body later. Hey, boss, you should make clothes for my two boys bigger, these two children grow up really fast, Otherwise, you won’t be able to wear it before it’s worn out.”

"Don't worry, we have been making clothes for many years and don't even know this?"

Duan Wuji looked around again and said: "Mother, look how beautiful this pink satin material is! There is also a small blue flower on it, it must be more than ten years younger if you wear it."

After hearing this, Liucaihua nodded to Duan Wuji's head. "You silly boy, I don't understand. Do you know how expensive this material is? When my mother married your father, she was not willing to buy such an expensive material. Now my mother is over 30. Wearing such a beautiful material is not afraid of others What a joke!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "It's still true, can't we just buy it today if we didn't wear it back then?"

Liucaihua listened and looked at Duan Yanqing. "Master, do you think this happened? Shall we buy this material or not?"

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Whether you like to buy or not, didn't I tell you when you came here, today I'm not in charge, Wuji has the final say."

Seeing this, the owner of the tailor shop yelled and said: "Sister-in-law, you still have a good eye, and you can see the best material in my shop at a glance. You really have a good eye! Just buy it, and it will look beautiful on your body." , showing the identity of our lady."

Liucaihua shook her head. "What is your status as a lady? I'm just a poor woman from a peasant family. It must make people laugh if I look so good-looking."

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Mother, who dares to laugh at us? The boss only has this material."

"Good! Just look at it."

In the end, Duan Wuji picked out a sea-blue cloth and a khaki-colored cloth.

"Shopkeeper, use these two pieces of fabric to make two clothes for me."

"Okay, you're the master of the house."

After measuring the size, Duan Wuji asked: "Shopkeeper, how much is the total?"

"Well, the eight pieces of clothes are worth three or six renminbi. Let's do it. I'll give you a discount. I'll only charge you three or five renminbi."

Duan Wuji smiled and said to Duan Yanqing: "Pay the money, just give him two taels, and we'll pay for the rest after the clothes are ready.

Hey, shopkeeper, when will this dress be ready? "

"Well, it doesn't matter if it can't be done before dark. It doesn't matter, if it's done, I'll send it to your home today, okay?

Less headed?Where are you from? "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said, "We belong to the Duan family village, and my name is Duan Yanqing."

"Okay, I've remembered, you can leave after paying the money."

Duan Yanqing paid the money, and the family stepped out of the tailor shop.

Duan Wuji led his family straight to Wenbaozhai, and when they entered the store, Wenbaozhai's clerk rushed over to say hello: "Guest officer, what do you want?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Bring one of your best regular script pens and one small regular script pens here, and a good ink stick. Two hundred sheets of white paper and two sheets of red paper."

"Very good."

In a short time, all these things were brought over.

"How much money?" Duan Wuji asked.

"Guest officer, it's half a tame in total."

After Duan Yanqing paid the money, Duan Wuji said to Duan Changsheng: "Brother, these things belong to you, take them."

Duan Changsheng took the things happily, and said with a smile: "Brother, I didn't expect you to still think about my brother? It's really hard for you."

Speaking of which, the family walked out of Wenbaozhai.

When Duan Wuji led his family through the firecracker market, Duan Wuji bought two small firecrackers. Then, Duan Wuji led his family straight to the pig market. When they came to the pig market, Duan Wuji pointed a big black pig and said: " Hey, palm rejection, how much is this pig?"

Seeing someone asking the price, the pig seller Tanzhu immediately said with a smile: "This pig weighs about two hundred catties, how about you give me a tael of silver?"

Duan Wuji shook his head. "Well, how much more expensive, how about this, you bring it home to me, and I will give you a tael of silver."

"Hey, guest officer, where is your home? I won't see you if it's far away."

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing quickly said: "Our family belongs to Duan Zhuang'er."

"Oh, isn't it more than three miles away from here? Alright, let's make a deal. I'll send it to you later. Hey, guest officer, what's your name?"

After hearing this, Duan Yanqing quickly replied: "My name is Duan Yanqing, I found it as soon as I went there."

"Okay then, let's make a deal like that, don't go, you don't want it anymore."

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Then can you? Don't worry, I can't do without you even a penny."

After buying the pigs, the family went straight to the noodle shop.As soon as he arrived at the door of the shop, the shop assistant ran over.

"Guest officer, what do you want?"

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Give me three hundred catties of flour."

"Ah? Guest officer, you want so much! You are a big customer!"

"how much is the total?"

"Well, three hundred catties of flour is worth four qian."

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "Man, how about you send me home?"

The shopkeeper of the shop came out from inside at this moment. "Okay, okay, okay, Chen San, can you push him there with a small cart? Hey, guest officer, which village are you from?"

Duan Yanqing smiled. "Boss, I belong to Duan Zhuang'er."

"Oh, it's not far from here, and it's only four miles away. Hey, guest officer, do you know that there is a little hero in your village who kills wolves? That kid is called Duan Wuji. He's a young kid. Killing two giant wolves at once, that would be great."

Duan Yanqing smiled after listening for a while: "Shopkeeper, isn't this kid Duan Wuji?"

Duan Yanqing pointed with his hand.

The shopkeeper laughed when he saw it: "Little hero, it's you! There's nothing to say. Brother, I hope you will take care of the shop more in the future. No matter how much rice or noodles you want, I will send someone to deliver it to you." go home."

Duan Yanqing paid the money, and led the assistant to push the white noodles and walked straight to the house.
