Houmen's concubine

Chapter 33 Shopping
"Tsk tsk, this little girl has good eyesight, and the color of this padded gown fits this little brother's figure and appearance very well." The shopkeeper praised in a timely manner.

After all, he is a businessman, he praised his customers and his clothes at the same time.

Wang Tong'er reached out and touched the material of the clothes, which was still relatively soft, and the cotton lining inside was relatively thick.

"Brother, go try it on to see if it fits you well."

Wang Jiahui is not hypocritical, he came out today to buy clothes for him.

So he put the pastry in his hand on the counter, and reached out to take the cotton robe from her hand.

"My little brother, go to change clothes inside the curtain." The shopkeeper pointed to the direction of the back door.

"Yes." Wang Jiahui agreed, turned around and told Wang Tong'er, "Tong'er sit there and wait for a while, brother will change his clothes immediately."

"Oh." Wang Tonger obediently agreed.

"Little girl, eat a piece of candy." The shopkeeper very politely brought the plate of candy on the desk inside the counter to her.

"Oh, thank you shopkeeper." Wang Tong'er picked up a piece of sesame from the plate and threw it into his mouth, and suddenly a burst of sweetness of sesame overflowed in his mouth.

She wandered around the store boredly, and saw semi-finished cotton gowns on the table inside.With a heartbeat, he asked, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell this piece of fabric?"

"This is the semi-finished material for cotton gowns. There are plenty of fabrics over there, so you can pick whatever you want."

Because it is made of cotton gowns, a layer of cotton has already been laid inside, and the lining is also sewn with cotton.As long as you buy them back, you can make cotton-padded jackets and trousers by yourself.

Wang Tong'er wanted to buy them from the shopkeeper to make two sets of cotton-padded clothes for her father. Because of her special body, she couldn't buy ready-made clothes.

Seeing that she sincerely wanted to buy it, the shopkeeper still sold it to her at a [-]% discount.

Turning around, he saw several pairs of cotton earmuffs in a flat basket on the counter, and he couldn't help asking the shopkeeper, "How do you sell these earmuffs?"

Wang Tong'er has only been here for a month, and went shopping twice.

It's the middle of winter, and although the sun is shining today, the northwest wind not only makes my cheeks chapped, but my ears are also red from the cold.

Thinking of the cotton thread on Aunt Wang's spindle, I plan to buy some to weave a scarf for myself and my brother.My brother has chilblains on his cheeks and earlobes.

"Little girl, I will give you two pairs of these earmuffs for your siblings to wear later."

The shopkeeper thought that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there would be a fortune, and the business would definitely be booming this year.

These earmuffs were originally made of scrap materials, not worth a lot of money.

"Eh? Then thank the shopkeeper first."

Wang Tong'er thought that this shopkeeper really knows how to do business, not only offering discounts but also giving gifts.It has a fight with modern business marketing methods.

At this time, Wang Jiahui just changed his clothes and came out to call his sister to see his new clothes: "Sister, look—"

"Tsk tsk!"

Wang Tong'er's eyes lit up. This indigo blue round-neck bamboo-patterned cotton gown, worn by her elder brother, made her look handsome and handsome.

It is true that people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles!

It's still new clothes, and I feel much more energetic when I wear them.If my elder brother is successful in the future, he will definitely be even more handsome in a bright brocade robe.

Wang Jiahui could tell from her sister's bright eyes that she liked this dress.

"Then buy this dress and wait for me to go in and change it."

"Hey! No, today is New Year's Eve! You should be wearing new clothes." Wang Tong'er hurriedly stopped her.

"Yeah! What the little girl said is, don't change this little brother."

"also."

Wang Jiahui felt that this cotton robe was very comfortable and warm to wear.

Wang Tonger took the old cotton gown from her brother, and when she folded the clothes, she found out that this semi-new old cotton gown had been patched several times, but it was hard to tell from the outside that it was patched. patched.

It turned out that the patches were patched very skillfully, which shows that the mendor's hands are not only skillful, but also exquisite in needlework.

This skillful hand mending clothes must be my mother.

After buying clothes for her brother and fabrics for her father, Wang Tonger took her brother to look for a bookstore that sold pens, ink, paper and inkstones. When she arrived at the bookshop, she accompanied her brother to buy all the four treasures of the study.

When she went back, she remembered that there was a food store not far from home, but she didn't know if it would be open today.

She wanted to buy some rice and noodles to go home, and it would be better if she could buy some pork, because there was no pork at home during the Chinese New Year.

Unexpectedly, I didn't see the raw pork, but saw a stall selling cooked food.

The stall was full of chicken, duck, goose, and donkey meat, and Wang Tonger bought a little of each.

While the cooked food vendor was wrapping it in dried lotus leaves, he sharply saw the half-open door of the wine shop in front of the wine shop supported by a bamboo pole, and hurriedly said to his brother: "Brother, I'm going to buy two jugs of wine."

She didn't know if daddy drank or not?
It's just that it's too deserted to leave only father and elder brother father and son in this big Chinese New Year's family. The father and son have a bowl of old wine to drink, so there is a festive atmosphere.

"Okay, you take the silver to buy wine." Wang Jiahui took out a silver coin from his purse and handed it to her, "No, I still have silver coins here!" Wang Tong'er waved at him and said in a hurry Run to the wine shop.

Before she entered the door, she could smell the smell of wine. She had drunk red wine a few times in her previous life, so she didn't know much about wine.

Obediently!As soon as you enter the door, you can see more than a dozen wine tanks in the small wine shop, and there are various wine jars filled with wine on the counter.

"Is the little girl buying wine?" At this moment, a 30-year-old bartender in cotton brown and a hood came up and asked with a smile on his face.

"Ah."

"I'm going to buy two catties of good wine that's full-bodied but not top-notch."

Wang Tong'er didn't want to buy any bland water wine or knife-burning spirits. If she wanted to buy it, she would buy good wine with a pure taste.

"Yes, yes, this jar of ten-year-old wine just taken out of the wine cellar has a strong taste, even if it's a little girl, if you drink it, it will leave a good taste in your mouth, and it won't make sense."

"It's just the price, it's a bit expensive."

The bartender saw that the girl's clothes were bright, so although she was not a rich lady, she should be from a good family.

"Huh? How much does this small jar of wine weigh? How much does it cost?" Wang Tong'er thought that no matter how expensive it is, there is always a price.

"This small jar of wine weighs three catties, and today is a discounted price on the first day of the Lunar New Year, only three hundred Wen."

"Oh, but I only have silver coins, and I don't bring small coins." Wang Tong'er has not yet figured out how much a tael of silver is.

Because the conversion of silver taels for copper coins in different dynasties is different, one tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand Wen coins, and in some dynasties one tael of silver can be exchanged for more than 600 Wen copper coins.

"It doesn't matter, we have a scale here, you can just bring the silver picket and weigh it."

Because there are big and small silver locks, the small ones weigh 05 renminbi and 1 renminbi, and the big ones weigh 2 renminbi and 3 renminbi.

Not every silver scorpion is full of weight, so when customers buy goods, merchants will use scales to weigh them first.

　Wang Tong'er and her brother went to the street to buy belated New Year's goods.
