Chapter 39 The best among shoulder poles
Satisfied, Jiang Zhimiao walked towards the shop selling thin quilts with her bulging baggage.

The shops selling ready-made clothes and bedding happened to be adjacent to each other. As soon as Jiang Zhimiao went out, he turned around and entered the shop selling bedding.

There is cotton in Daxu Country, so the purpose of Jiang Zhimiao's trip is thin quilts. Of course, if there are no thin quilts, she can also accept blankets.

The furnishings of this store are very simple. The tools for playing quilts are scattered around. The quilts are placed in categories. They are divided into categories, but the layout is very messy. The first impression of the whole store is that The impression is chaotic.

It's chaotic, but the victory is that everything is complete, which is exactly what Jiang Zhimiao wants.

When the man who was playing quilt saw a guest coming, he hurriedly wiped his dark hands on his outer shirt a few times, and then walked towards her.

"What do you need, sir?" The sweaty man asked loudly to the girl who was standing in the store watching.

Jiang Zhimiao looked directly at him and replied: "I want two thin cotton quilts. It doesn't need to be too thick, just suitable for summer and autumn. By the way, I also want to ask, do you sell blankets in your store? I also want to Want a blanket."

The man nodded when he heard this, then lifted up his shirt and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then turned and walked towards the place where the goods were piled.

When Jiang Zhimiao saw him going to get the goods, he started to look around. He had to say that this store did have a complete range of quilts from all seasons. In addition, there were also different silk fabrics for people to choose from. Indeed, good.

Just when she was attracted by a quilt of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, the man had already arrived in front of Jiang Zhimiao with the goods in his arms.

"Sir, are you satisfied with these beds? If you are not satisfied, I will choose a few more beds. The blanket shop does have them, but the price is high."

Before the man finished speaking, it was already clear that he was just afraid that she couldn't afford it. When Jiang Zhimiao saw this, he indicated that he knew, and then he continued.

"This is a blanket made from a whole wolf skin. Under normal circumstances, it can be used for 30 to [-] years without any problem." After the man introduced it, he picked up another snow-white blanket and said proudly:

"This blanket is not ordinary. It is a wool blanket from Persia. When the weather is cold, when you cover it, your whole body will be warm and you will not get cold at all."

Jiang Zhimiao stopped the man after he introduced the woolen blanket. Time was tight and there was no need to waste words. She pointed at what she wanted and asked him to pack it quickly.

It was difficult to carry the three beddings alone, so Jiang Zhimiao asked if he could provide cloth bags for packing. Unexpectedly, he directly replied to her that this was another price.

Jiang Zhimiao choked, and finally bought a hand-sewn bag with his own money.

She is very strong, but it is not easy to hold so many things. Only after organizing these items can she take more things.

In the next period of time, Jiang Zhimiao went to buy flint and flint. The fire was expensive to use and not as durable as flint, so Jiang Zhimiao simply bought a few more flints to get rid of the problem once and for all.

After all the shopping was done, Jiang Zhimiao started wandering around the streets with satisfaction. He still had time, so he just had to go back. It would not matter if he could enter the city this time.

There are sellers of vegetables, meat, and handicrafts on the streets. They are selling at the top of their lungs, hoping that passersby will stop in front of their stalls.

The road was not long, and Jiang Zhimiao only glanced at most of the stalls briefly before moving on. Therefore, in less than a stick of incense, she walked from the street to the end of the street.

Just when she was about to turn around and leave, unexpectedly, the smooth and strong pole in the corner instantly attracted her attention. This pole was wide and curved, and it looked like it could be a good load-bearer. It was a must-have on the road to exile.

A person's strength is still a little small after all, but with the assistance of a shoulder pole, it is different. An excellent shoulder pole can bear a maximum weight of 250 kilograms.

Jiang Zhimiao saw that this pole was very good, very good, and it was strong at first glance. It was definitely the best among the poles.The hawker's business was pretty good. He sold everything he brought in just half a day. He was just about to hang the barrel on the pole and carry it away. Unexpectedly, a girl actually told him that she wanted to buy the pole and the wooden barrel. bucket.

When the vendor saw this, he was immediately stunned and couldn't recover for a while. It wasn't until the girl's hand touched the pole that he came back to his senses.

He looked at her with a strange look on his face and said suspiciously: "Are you sure you want to buy my pole?"

Jiang Zhimiao nodded affirmatively, casually took out two taels of silver and put it in his hand. When he nodded, he picked up the pole and barrel and left his sight.

The hawker looked blankly at the two taels of silver in his hand, and then looked at the direction where the girl was leaving. A breeze blew by, and he suddenly came back to his senses and stuffed the silver into his arms.

He could make a fortune by buying a pole and two wooden barrels for two taels of silver. The poles were just casually made by his father. To be able to sell them at such a price was absolutely pie in the sky.

This amount of money is enough for the family for half a year. In the past, he thought his father was a fake person who stayed at home doing carpentry every now and then. Unexpectedly, he actually had two brushes, and he sold them for two taels of silver. .

He thought, should he bring some more poles and barrels to sell when he goes to the market tomorrow?Maybe rich people like it. The money he makes from selling a pole is much more than the money he makes from getting up early and taking care of himself at night selling vegetables.

Jiang Zhimiao arrived at the gate of the city carrying a pole like a spring breeze. Seeing that there was still some time, she asked the vendor to make twenty meat buns and take them away.

It may seem like a lot to buy, but in fact it will be gone after just a few meals. The appetite of five adults and three children is no joke, they can finish all these buns in one day.

Jiang Zhimiao spent a total of 50 taels of silver on this purchase. Compared with the coir raincoat that he bought for [-] taels of silver before, it was well worth the money.

The purchasing power of one tael of silver is still very strong in the country of Daxu. One tael of silver is equal to a thousand copper plates. For a thousand copper plates, you can buy more than 300 meat buns worth three cents each, which shows that the purchasing power is strong.

Jiang Zhimiao bought seven more bunches of candied haws and twenty sesame cakes. It wasn't until she finished showing off the five meat buns that Wen Zhuqing arrived belatedly.

As soon as he saw him coming, Jiang Zhimiao asked the store owner to make five meat buns and handed them over. Seeing that he was sweating profusely, he took out a kettle from the bucket and handed them over.

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Let's take a sip of water first. It will be a while. I just observed that only the two of us are here, and the others haven't come out yet."

The water in the kettle was freshly poured from the bucket by Jiang Zhimiao from the vendor. After one sip, Wen Zhuqing felt comfortable all over, and the heat in his body was swept away. After drinking several sips in a row, he stopped and wiped it with his hands. After wiping the sweat from his face, he thanked her again and again.

Jiang Zhimiao waved his hand and asked: "You're welcome, how is the purchase you bought over there?"

Hearing this, Wen Zhuqing quickly handed her the baggage on his back: "I bought everything on the list. In addition, I also bought some coarse grains that can be stored, which is enough for us to eat for a while."

Seeing Jiang Zhimiao lowering his head to check, he hurriedly said: "I bought some of the common medicines in the pharmacy. Although the quantity is not large, the types are quite complete."

After saying that, Wen Zhuqing leaned down to Jiang Zhimiao, covered her lips with one hand, and lowered her voice: "In addition to those common medicines, I also bought a 50-year-old ginseng to prevent it from being used in the future."

Jiang Zhimiao glanced at the young man who was surrounded by grass and trees, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are serious. This ginseng should not be cheap. Each of us should pay half the money to buy the ginseng. After all, we are two families." They are used together, there is no point in freeloading.”

When Wen Zhuqing heard this, he immediately straightened up and repeatedly signaled that you were welcome. From now on, the two families would have someone to take care of them when they were together, so there was no need to worry about it so much.

Jiang Zhimiao's tone was relaxed, but his attitude was tough. Seeing this, he had no choice but to accept the 50 taels of silver she handed over.
