The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 17 Making Friends

Zhao Yunxi ignored the old lady's objections and turned to the woman: "Sister, are you the shopkeeper? If I buy more cotton at one time, can you give me a cheaper price?"

The woman said deliberately awkwardly: "This cotton is a good thing, and you want me to make it cheaper. Then tell me first, how much are you going to buy?"

When Zhao Yunxi heard that there was something going on, he did some math in his mind. Then

He raised a smile and said sweetly: "I need thirty-eight pounds of cotton. Can sister give me a cheaper one?"

Several people in the Buzhuang were shocked by her heroic words, and Ms. Zhou even pulled her little granddaughter aside.

He said angrily: "You kid, why can't you control money? Why buy so much cotton? You really don't take money seriously."

The woman was really shocked when she heard that the little girl wanted to buy dozens of kilograms of cotton. After all, when she was selling kiwis a few days ago, she heard that the little girl's father was seriously injured and was still recovering at home? I'm still a little shocked that I bought so much cotton with so much money today.

"If you buy thirty-eight pounds, I will give you four hundred and eighty-one pounds."

Zhao Yunxi heard that the price was twenty cents less per kilogram, which was considered a lot cheaper. After all, cotton was a very valuable item in this dynasty, so the price was already very favorable.

"Then please weigh it for us, then add the fabric and calculate the price."

The woman glanced at the old lady and saw that although her face looked a little ugly, she did not object again. Then he turned around and walked into the counter and started making calculations.

Her slender hands quickly fiddled with the abacus beads. After a moment, the woman said: "The cloth you just bought is 514 renminbi in total, and the cotton is 19,000 renminbi in total. Converted into silver."

"Sixteen two three hundred and fourteen articles."

Zhao Yunxi announced the number in one breath. Five seconds later, the woman looked at Zhao Yunxi in surprise.

"That's right, it's sixteen two three hundred and fourteen essays. Who did you learn your arithmetic from? It's so good?"

She was fiddling with the abacus as fast as the little girl.

"I learned it from Aweng when I was young."

In fact, it was thanks to the multiplication table.

The woman looked at Zhao Yunxi with even more affection. She thought the little girl was lively and smart before, but she didn't expect the little girl to be extremely smart.

He fell in love with the little girl even more. He turned to the waiter and said, "Go and take out those pieces of cloth and give them to the old lady."

Mrs. Zhou watched the waiter come out with a bag of cloth, and thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you so much, shopkeeper, for giving me such a big discount on the price and giving me so many cloths."

Wang Junyao looked at the kind-faced old lady and said, "Old lady, I like your granddaughter very much. I wonder if I can be friends with her?"

Zhao Yunxi looked at the kind woman in front of him and said happily: "Of course, my name is Zhao Yunxi. I am 9 years old. My sister can call me Xiaojiu."

Wang Junyao looked at the little girl who was not shy at all and said with a smile: "My surname is Wang. I am fifteen this year. You can call me Sister Junyao."

"Hello, Sister Junyao."

After Wang Junyao accepted the money handed over by Zhao Yunxi, she turned around and brought a piece of light green cloth over.

Handing the cloth to Zhao Yunxi: "This is my gift to you, you can't postpone it."

Zhou knew at a glance that the material was not cheap, "Shopkeeper, this is too expensive."

Seeing the persistence on the woman's face, Zhao Yunxi said, "This one is really expensive. If sister is willing, cut some according to my size and give them to me!"

When the woman saw this, she stopped worrying, picked up the scissors, looked at her height, and cut off five feet.

Then looking at Zhao Yuntong on the side, he turned around and took two new styles of bead flowers and handed them to the two of them. The two of them thanked each other, and Zhao Yuntong followed: "Thank you, sister Junyao. My name is Yuntong. I am ten years old this year. You can also call me May."

Wang Junyao looked at the two little girls, her expression of joy could not be concealed at all. This was the first time since that incident that she actively wanted to make friends.

After loading all the cloth and cotton onto the oxcart, Zhao Yunxi touched the silver in the bag and looked at Zhou again. When Mrs. Zhou saw her like this, her heart trembled, thinking something might happen to this child again.

"Sister Junyao, you just gave me the fabric. I wonder if you have time to have a meal together."

"Since my sister invited me, I'm being shameless." He turned to the boy and asked the coachman to wait at the door.

When the group of people arrived at the restaurant, it was already past dinner time, and there were not many people in the restaurant. Wang Junyao walked in front, followed by the Zhao family.

This is the first time Zhao Yunxi has eaten in a restaurant. It is completely different from the imitation ancient buildings in his previous life. The real ancient buildings have even more historical charm.

at the counter.

When the shopkeeper saw Wang Junyao coming in, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Where is Miss Wang staying in her private room? I will take you up."

Wang Junyao took Zhao Yunxi's hand and walked upstairs to the private room. Following the Zhou family, the shopkeeper looked at the family wearing coarse clothes from the corner of his eye. I wondered who these two people were, and they were actually treated with courtesy by Miss Wang.

The shopkeeper ordered the waiters around him to serve carefully.

As soon as Zhou, Zhao Yunxi and others sat down, the shopkeeper came in. Wang Junyao winked, and the shopkeeper walked up to Mrs. Zhou.

"Old lady, look what do you want to eat today?" the shopkeeper said.

Mrs. Zhou looked at it, then handed the wooden sign to Wang Junyao and said: "Junyao, you live in the county. You know what is delicious, please order some."

Seeing this, Wang Junyao took it and said to the shopkeeper: "Then let's get one braised pork, one steamed mutton, one crystal meat, one roast chicken and two vegetables, faster."

There is Zhao Yuntong's living treasure in the room, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

Touching the silver in the bag, Zhao Yunxi said to Zhao Yang: "Cousin, our family wants to buy a cow. We will go to the cattle market after dinner later, and you can help make a good selection then."

"Okay, Xiaojiu, I'll take care of this." Zhao Yang said.

Wang Junyao heard that Zhao Yunxi wanted to buy cattle. Question: “Are you buying cattle for farming or household use?”

"I need them all. I originally bought the cow to make it easier for my family to plant in spring." Zhao Yunxi said.

"Then you come to me about this matter! I know the official cattle dealer. The quality of the cattle is guaranteed and the price is fairer than outside."

Zhao Yunxi saw that she didn't seem to be boasting, "Then I won't be polite to my sister about this."

Wang Junyao said indifferently: "Aren't you happy that you are being polite to me?"

Half an hour later, everyone in the group was so full that their bellies were full. The food in this restaurant was delicious and full of oil and water.

After drinking and eating, the group went downstairs and prepared to buy cattle. Wang Junyao took Zhao Yunxi and his party directly to the side gate of the county government office, and then walked two miles in the alley. Wang Junyao's coachman knocked on the door. After a while, a middle-aged man came out of the door.

"Are you going to buy a cow?" the middle-aged man asked.

Wang Junyao poked her head out and said, "Uncle Zhang, pick a cow for my girl."

Uncle Zhang looked over following the shouting and saw Miss Wang. He wanted to salute, but Wang Junyao secretly stopped her.
