Space peasant girl: mother dressed as three oil bottles

Chapter 17 Going to the Town

After breakfast, Gu Li started to help Shuanzi make the wooden top.

Who would have thought that as soon as it was ready, Shao Fugui happened to send over the money from yesterday's game sale.

She originally planned to give him some money for hard work, but Shao Fugui refused to accept it.Gu Li had no choice but to give up, took out the finished wooden top, and entrusted him to hand it over to Shuanzi.Only then did Shao Fugui happily accept it.

Gu Li originally wanted to buy some things, so he took his ox cart to the town.

"Gu Li, today is my mother-in-law's birthday. I have already agreed with the shopkeeper that I will only work for half a day. You can still wait for me at this intersection after you buy something, and go back in my ox cart!"

Shao Fugui scratched his head in embarrassment, and finished speaking with a blushing face.

Gu Li is quite envious of the good relationship between their husband and wife.

That's okay, after shopping later, let's buy Qiaoying's sister-in-law a birthday present!This brother Fugui not only sells wild things for himself, but also takes a ride to the town for free. She has to find a way to repay the favor.

In fact, she has another purpose, which is to find out if the fist-sized orb can be released from her hands?

This thing is just a stone on her body, but in this era, it can definitely be exchanged for a huge sum of money,
It's just that you have to inquire about the market value in order to have a bottom line.

This town is not too big, but the flow of people is okay.Today is just the market day, and many nearby farmers will come to the market.

Gu Li went to the cloth shop first.

She had enough of her own clothes, but the triplets seemed to have nothing to change.Mrs. Shao's clothes have been mended and mended.Generally, in rural areas, people buy cloth and ask people to make clothes to save costs.

She saw that the clothes of the triplets were remade, so they must have been handwritten by Mrs. Shao.It's just that she is old and her eyes are a little bad.

This store sells some cheap cotton and linen fabrics, and it presumably specializes in the business of the nearby villagers.

"Little lady, what kind of fabric do you want to buy?" The proprietress warmly greeted her with a smile on her face.

"Well, I'm not familiar with this. I don't know what kind to buy and how much?"

Gu Li said with some embarrassment.When I was a child in the orphanage, the only thing I could think about was to have a full stomach.When you grow up and become a special soldier, every day is training and missions.Things like dressing up and clothes are too unfamiliar to her.

The old bridesmaid was not annoyed when she met such a guest who didn't know what to ask, and even smoothed things over for her with a smile.

"You don't have to worry, little lady. Just tell me who you are buying it for and how tall it is. I will recommend the breed and size for you."

"My three sons are a little over four years old, and they are about this tall! My mother, too, is thinner when it comes to my shoulders."

As soon as Gu Li said it, the proprietress already knew it.

"These few bolts of flax are strong and wear-resistant, and are most suitable for boys of this age. These few bolts of softer cotton cloth are more suitable for the elderly, so let's choose the color, young lady!"

Da Mao has a calm temperament, she chose dark green, Er Mao is carefree, gray stripes are suitable, and San Mao is soft and cute, she chose lively ginger yellow.As for Mrs. Shao, she chose small black flowers with spots.

"Children's clothing material is about three feet, three is nine feet, and one foot of cloth is three wen, which is 27 wen. For the elderly, it is about five feet, and one foot of cloth is two wen, which is ten wen. Add one piece, a total of 37 wen."

The proprietress quickly measured the cloth and settled accounts while packing.

This is the first time she bought it, and it sounds like it is not expensive, so she opened her mouth and said, "Then give me three servings according to this size."

The proprietress was even happier when she heard that, she met a straightforward owner today, and bought a lot without bargaining.When packing, she also put some scraps in, and said courteously: "Little lady, these scraps are more than enough to make a purse or hemming or something. If you need it next time, come visit my shop again. "

Gu Li nodded, and took out some silver from his purse to settle the bill.Three sets per person should be enough to replace.This is enough for Mrs. Shao to be busy for a while.

Originally, I could spend some money to ask the young daughter-in-law in the village to do it, but it was only a few pennies for manual work.
But the old man has always been restless.In the past two days, she has robbed her of what she did before, and she is a little at a loss.Find something for her to do.

"Miss Boss, do you know where reading glasses are sold?"

"What? Reading glasses? What are those?"

Looking at her with a puzzled face, it was obvious that he had never heard of this thing.

"Oh, it's okay, I just heard about it, so I'm asking. Is there a pawn shop around here?"

Hearing this, the proprietress's eyes were full of sympathy.This little lady of feelings wants to pawn items for money!I just heard that she has three sons, and life is not easy if I think about it.

"There is a Babaozhai family that specializes in this business. I heard that they are in charge of the children of a wealthy family in the county. Because they made a mistake, they were punished by the owner and sent to open such a shop in our small town."

"Babaozhai" is located on the easternmost side of the street. The shop is very large, and there are people coming and going inside.Most of the wealthy households wearing silk and satin came to hunt for treasures, and those wearing patches and carrying cloth bags probably came to pawn for money.

"Little lady, what are you pawning?

A middle-aged man with a horn beard sat behind the counter separated by a wooden strip. Looking at Gu Li who was carrying a cloth bag, he asked.

"I'm looking for you to be in charge!" Gu Li said directly.

"Hey, little lady, what kind of treasure is this precious, and you want our master to come here in person?"

The middle-aged man was a little disdainful, feeling that Gu Li's words were arrogant.As far as there are any good things in this poor and remote place, they opened Babaozhai here, not to earn the little money of these little people.

"I'll tell you after I've seen you in charge!"

Gu Li was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he crossed his arms and stared straight at him through the counter.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to underestimate him now.This little lady looks weak, but her temperament is really unusual, maybe she really has some background.Besides, it's not very good for her to block the front of the counter for others to see.

It's better to welcome people in first, and wait until you see something.

"Little lady, please go to the side hall to have some tea. I'm going to find the master."

Gu Li didn't delay, and walked in generously.

After about a cup of tea, the middle-aged man led a handsome young man over.

"My humble servant is the head of Babaozhai, what's the name of the young lady?"

The man was very particular about his attire, obviously out of tune with the villagers in these ten miles and eight towns.A good education makes him gentle and polite even to a rural daughter-in-law like Gu Li.

"Shao's. Let's look at things first!"

As Gu Li said, he opened the cloth bag he was carrying, and took out a wooden box.
