Chapter 15 Shopping
Shopkeeper Hong personally ran to the counter to get the banknotes. At Qibao's request, he took out one 500 tael and four 100 taels and exchanged the rest for silver ingots of [-] taels each.

Qibao took the money from shopkeeper Hong and thanked him before handing it to the uncle behind him. Xu Yifeng only regained consciousness after taking the banknote and quickly put it in his arms.

Shopkeeper Hong smiled and said, "You girl is really interesting. You are quite calm after seeing so much money. Girl, if you have any herbs next time, come to Grandpa Hong. Grandpa Hong will take them all!"

When Qibao heard Shopkeeper Hong say this, he said, "Thank you, Grandpa Hong. Next time Qibao has good medicinal materials, he will definitely sell them to Leshan Pharmacy!" After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Hong, the uncle and nephew walked out of the door of the medicine shop until they came to the door. On the street where people were walking, Xu Yifeng's brothers' hearts were still beating fast, and they had a full 1000 taels in their arms!
"Uncle and uncle, we have money now, and the weather is getting colder and colder. I want to buy some fabrics for my family, and let my aunt and mother make new clothes for us when I go home. Shall we go to the cloth shop?" Shippo looked up and said.

After hearing Qibao's words, the two brothers came back to their senses and hurriedly replied, "Qibao is right. Now that we have money, it's time to add some things to the family. Qibao hasn't eaten anything until now. Are you hungry? Let's go! Uncle I'll take you to buy meat buns!" He picked up Qibao and walked to the shop selling buns.

Arriving at the door of the bun shop, the boss saw the three of them and immediately greeted with a smile, "Sir, do you want to buy buns? Our store costs three cents for a meat bun, two cents for a vegetable bun, and one cent for a steamed bun. How many are here?"

Uncle Xu said, "Boss, bring me two meat buns and four steamed buns." He counted ten coins and handed them over.

The bun shop owner took the copper plate with a smile, packed the buns quickly and handed them to the uncle.He stuffed the buns into Qibao's hands and said, "Qibao, eat it while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold!" Then he handed two more steamed buns to his second brother. The steamed buns are made of white flour mixed with rough flour and have a good texture. It's not as good as white flour steamed buns, but it's still palatable.

Qibao pursed his lips when he saw this. Although he had money now, the frugality of farmers was still deep-rooted. He didn't say much. Anyway, life at home would get better and better in the future, so he started eating with the buns.

The three uncles and nephews solved the problem of hunger and came to the door of a shop called Chenji Cloth Shop. When they walked into the shop, they saw a woman laying out the newly arrived fabrics. When they turned around, they saw the three of them hurriedly saying, "Two Are you here to buy fabrics or ready-made clothes? See if you like the fabrics that just arrived in our store?"

Qibao immediately smiled and replied, "Hello, aunt, we are here to buy cloth to make clothes at home. We want to buy a lot of them. Can it be cheaper, beautiful aunt?" He opened his mouth and bent his big eyes into small ones. Crescent Moon looked at the boss.

When the boss heard such a cute little girl praising her beauty, his smile turned into a flower, "Hey, where did this little cutie come from? Her little mouth is so sweet that it's so sweet to the core. Tell your aunt what you want to buy. The cloth, aunt will give you the cheapest price." Seeing their little niece's appearance, Xu Yifeng and his brother couldn't laugh or cry, and said politely, "Boss, we are both farmers, and the family has a large population, what do you think is suitable? "

The boss looked at a few people and said with a smile, "Come here, take a look at this. It is suitable for farmers. It is stain-resistant and wear-resistant. It comes in several colors!" He pointed to a piece of cloth on the shelf.

Qibao looked at the cloth the boss mentioned, and then looked at the other pieces of cloth. The white cloth next to him looked softer than the one the boss mentioned, and it should be cotton.He turned to his uncle and said, "Uncle, let's buy cotton for our underwear, which is more comfortable, and coarse cloth for our outer clothes, so that we don't stand out in the village, okay?"

After listening to Qibao's words, the two brothers looked at each other, pondered for a few breaths and said, "Okay, just listen to Qibao, boss, take it as my niece said." They thought, since they have this ability, they can't suffer the family anymore. , the older children in the family always wear the smaller ones, and then the younger ones wear them. When it comes to the youngest ones, they wear patches and piles of pudding. The original color can no longer be seen, so I agreed.

The landlady was delighted when she heard this. It was rare for this family to have a girl make the decision. This was the first time she had seen her. It seemed that this girl was also favored at home.He hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, in our store coarse cloth is five cents per foot, and cotton cloth is ten cents per foot. Girl, how much do you think we need?"

Qibao thought for a while and said, "Auntie, I want to buy two sets of underwear and two sets of outerwear for each of my family members. There are fifteen people in my family. How many sizes do I need?" Then he gave the approximate height of the family members. After making some gestures, I mentioned the colors I wanted.

The landlady asked the waiter to help Qibao pack the needed cloths and pile them together, saying, "The total is eight taels and twenty cents. Auntie will give you a small change, just eight taels. I will also give the girl a few pieces of cloth." ,Okay?"

When Qibao saw the pieces of cloth given by the landlady, he said they were pieces of cloth, but they were not too small. They were just in time to make some cloth bags for his brothers who were going to school, so he quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you, auntie. The fabrics for making clothes at my house will be here in the future." Auntie, buy it here." After saying that, he motioned to Uncle Xu to pay the money.
