Stepmother dressed as five villains

Chapter 7 The First Pot of Gold
In fact, Qiao Lianlian wanted to take Gu Cheng there, but the boss kept silent, and the fifth brother jumped out on his own initiative. She was moved from the bottom of her heart and hugged Gu Ge.

The two or three-year-old girl, due to long-term malnutrition, is only the size of other people's children when she is one year old, and she is light and cute in her arms.

"Then I'll take Xiao Wu there."

While Qiao announced loudly again and again, he was also a little angry in his heart.

If you don't want to kiss me, don't envy me when I buy food for Gu Ge later.

The other four children breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and looked at Gu Ge who took the initiative to stand up with sympathy or gratitude, until the mother and daughter went out.

Actually, Gu Ge, "Who am I? What am I doing?"

People just want to pee, why should they go out with their arms.

When he got into the bullock cart, Gu Ge was still a little dazed, and asked inarticulately, "Mother, mother, where are you going?"

She was young and had a lot of forgetfulness. She was only afraid of being beaten before, so she cried when she saw Qiao Lianlian.

But as Qiao treated her gently several times, the little girl gradually became less afraid and dared to talk to her.

"Go to the market." Qiao Lian repeatedly patted her head, took out the packaged bread slices from his arms, "Ge'er eats the least meat, be hungry, eat some bread."

Gu Ge's eyes lit up, he forgot all about peeing and shit, and just gnawed on the soft bread while holding it.

The uncle driving the car at the front glanced at Qiao Lianlian, curled his lips in disdain, and muttered, "Who is it for?"

Qiao Lian listened to it without asking, and still sat firmly like a mountain.

About half an hour later, Xiyang Town arrived.

She carried Gu Ge out of the donkey cart and walked around the market.

Today is a big fair, and there are people selling things from morning till night, needless to say, selling meat and vegetables, as well as selling candied haws and pastries, the fragrance can be smelled from far away.

Gu Ge's eyes lit up when he saw this, but he didn't dare to say anything, he could only smack his small mouth quietly.

Qiao Lian deliberately teased her, "Would Xiao Wu want to eat candied haws and sweet-scented osmanthus cake? If you want to eat, just call mother, and mother will buy it for you."

Gu Ge's eyes suddenly burst into incomparable light.

She looked at Qiao Lianlian expectantly, and called out "Mom."

"Hey." Qiao Lian smiled happily, took out a copper coin, and bought a candied haws.

At the same time, I feel in my heart that she is still young and easy to coax and deceive. If there are several older children, she must suspect that she is fishing for law enforcement.

Alas, it's hard to be someone else's stepmother, and even harder to be a reformed stepmother.

After several inquiries, Qiao Lianlian finally found a shop that collects animal fur. She walked in with Gu Ge in her arms, but she didn't immediately take out the black sheepskin. Instead, she carefully looked around at the transactions of other customers around her, secretly underestimated the price.

There are many sheep in the mountains, and the sheepskins are not very precious. Among them, the price of goatskin is slightly higher than that of sheepskin, and the price of black sheepskin is slightly higher than that of white sheepskin. However, mink and fox skins are the most expensive. Qiao was jealous.

"Man, sell a piece of black sheepskin." After estimating the approximate price in his heart, Qiao repeatedly took out the fresh sheepskin.

"Madam, please come inside." Soon a guy came to invite someone.

Qiao Lian followed in and saw a middle-aged man with a small beard.

The man seemed to be an expert, touched the sheepskin carefully, and sighed, "The skin is not a good leather, but this knife skill is really, amazing, the whole skin is peeled off completely, it's amazing."

Qiao smiled again and again, "If the boss thinks the leather is good, he will give you a good price, and he will send it to you as soon as he has a good leather."

The middle-aged man stared at her twice, then stretched out three fingers, "Three taels of silver is an unprecedented high price."

Qiao Lianlian pursed his lips, "Three taels is too low, the leather is so complete, and it's black sheepskin, at least six taels."

"Oh, this is doubled." The middle-aged man was a little unhappy.

Qiao Lian smiled and said, "Our family will have other good furs in the future, and they will be sent to the boss first. If the mink and fox furs are intact, how rare it is."

The middle-aged man's eyes were fixed, and after a while, he nodded.

The little guy at the side was a little anxious, but he didn't dare to speak. After Qiao Lian walked away with six taels of silver, he said anxiously, "Second shopkeeper, giving her six taels of sheepskin means we don't make money."

"Sheepskin is not the key, this skinning skill is rare." The middle-aged man shook his head and said solemnly, "There are only two butchers in Xiyang Town who are so good at swordsmanship, and one of them is still old. I think this The little woman came here to sell furs at such a young age. The skinned person must be her husband or something. Let’s give her a good price this time. She will only send here when she has good skins. How many intact mink skins are there? It's not like you don't know the profit."

The guy was dumbfounded, shook his head and left after a while.

However, on the market street, Qiao Lianlian only tried to ask for six taels of silver, but she didn't expect that the other party really agreed. She immediately realized that there might not be many good butchers in Xiyang Town, and the other party must have plans.

But who would think that money is hot?

She hugged Gu Ge in one hand and silver in the other, and said happily, "We are rich now, Xiao Wu, let's go and buy rice and noodles."

The price of goods in Xiyang Town is not expensive, and the rice noodles are only a few pennies a catty. Qiao Lian bought ten catties, and then realized that she had the money, but she had no labor, so how could she carry so many things back.

If only there were stuff in the lab.

Qiao thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that his hand was light, and the six taels of silver had disappeared.

Feelings can really hold things in this laboratory, Qiao was surprised and delighted again and again, quickly took out the money, and spent a copper coin to hire a boy from the rice noodle shop to send the rice and noodles to a secluded place, and then she covered Gu Song's eyes, silently said "pretend".

Twenty catties of rice and noodles suddenly disappeared.

Qiao Lianlian was so happy that he saw his teeth but couldn't see his eyes. He rushed into the weaving shop with Gu Ge in his arms.

Little Gu Ge looked bewildered, "Hey, where did that pile of stuff go?"

Most of the things in the Gu family's old house were dilapidated, not to mention anything else, the water scoops were all cracked, and it was really useless.

Qiao Lianlian was very generous, and bought a small dustpan, a sorghum broom, a gourd ladle, a set of spatulas and spoons, and even bought a few pieces of bowls and chopsticks. It cost half a tael in total.

In the end, she negotiated the price with the boss, and the boss gave her a bamboo basket, which just happened to put all the things she bought in.

The bamboo basket is carried on the body, and thick cloth is used as the shoulder strap, which is quite easy to carry.

After thinking about it again and again, Qiao bought another catty of rice noodles and put them in a basket on her back, lest the children ask, and she couldn't explain how the rice noodles came from.

Finally, two osmanthus cakes are wrapped.

Put half of the portion into the bamboo basket, and hand the half to Gu Ge, letting the little girl eat with happiness on her face.
