Peasant girl's pot color Tianxiang

Chapter 6 Going to Town (4)
"Yes, what kind of fabric and color do you want, but ready-made clothes are more expensive." The boss kindly introduced, fearing that the children would not be able to afford them.

"We want cotton cloth, darker in color, so it's easier to work with." Li Ran thought that if he bought a better cotton cloth, it would be comfortable to wear, and no one would doubt it.

"A total of 530 articles." The boss said as he wrapped up the clothes Li Ran had chosen.Li Ran counted the money and handed it over. If he bought cloth and made it himself, it would only cost two hundred cash. It seemed that he still had to learn how to do needlework.I thought about buying a needle and thread, and bought a few feet of burlap, which cost [-] Wen. I went back and tried to make a mosquito net. I was bitten so hard that I couldn't sleep last night.At first I wanted to buy quilts and the like, but I’d better forget about it now. I’ll wait until winter arrives. In addition, I live in a hut at home, so I’m afraid that the thief will miss it when I put some good things. Of course, this thief is the grandma and wonderful uncle that Li Heng described a few days ago. family.

Then when I went to the grain store, I didn’t know if I didn’t look at it. When I saw it, I was shocked. It was so expensive.Gritting his teeth, he bought a bucket of rice, ten catties of white flour, and ten catties of cornmeal.A total of 180 five Wen was spent. Although I have money now, it will never last long like this. (I don't know the actual price, all the prices in it are random)

Then I went to buy salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and went to the pharmacy to buy star anise, cinnamon bark, cloves, tangerine peel, woody fragrance, angelica dahurica, fennel, etc., but there was no pepper or chili pepper.

"Boss, how do you sell this pork?" Li Ran asked, pointing to a piece of fat meat and pork belly.

"Fat meat is [-] renminbi a catty, and lean meat is [-] renminbi." It seems that people in ancient times preferred to eat fatty meat. Lean meat is actually cheaper than fatty meat. It's a good feeling, so buy more lean meat.

"Give me five catties of fat meat and three catties of lean meat, so I can boil oil when I go back." "Little girl, if you buy so much lean meat, be careful not to be beaten by your adults. This lean meat is not worth eating." Selling meat The uncle kindly suggested.

"It's okay, just cut it for me. By the way, boss, how much do you pay for these bones?" Li Ran asked looking at the pile of bones thrown on the chopping board.

"If you buy so much meat, I'll give it to you at a lower price, five cents for you." The boss is very kind. Anyway, there is little meat on the bones, so I'll give it to Li Ran at a lower price.

"Thank you, boss." Li Ran put all the things into the back basket. The thing is so heavy that I can't carry it anymore. I just focus on buying, but I don't know how to resist it.Li Ran happily took out 140 Wen.

"Xiaoheng, do you still have clay pots at home?" "Well, there is one, which my mother used to store lard in." "Oh, that's good, let's go back." "Hey, boss, yours Have the pigs been thrown into the ground?" Li Ran asked curiously.

"It smells bad. If you don't handle it well, no one wants it. If you want it, I'll give it to you." The boss waved his hand in disgust.

"Boss, give it to me, okay, you don't want it anyway." "Little girl, this stinks, what are you going to do with it, take it, take it, don't regret it." What am I regretting? I, It was too late to be happy, Li Ran was so excited that he put the pig into the water, thinking of dishes like hot fat sausage and fried pork liver.

"Sister, it stinks, what are you doing taking it back?" Li Heng looked at his excited sister in confusion. "Brother, wait for my sister to go back and make it ready for you to taste, and then tell me if it stinks or not." Li Ran thought in her heart, could every time-traveling woman meet a worthless pig into the water, and then make a fortune?
Li Ran walked to the entrance of the market hunched over with a basket carrying dozens of kilograms.

"Xiao Ran, Xiao Heng, have you gotten rich and bought so many things?" Zhou Cuihua, the daughter-in-law of the third mother-in-law, was sitting on the bullock cart and greeted Li Ran and her brother.Although Zhou Cuihua likes to chirp, her heart is not bad, and she doesn't know how someone with such a big mouth can give birth to such a cute Li Shan.Li Ran didn't want to talk to her, because she was afraid that when she saw the things under her back basket, she would yell so that the whole village would know about it as soon as she turned around.But I want to ride in the bullock cart of Uncle Yang's house, what should I do?Li Ran hesitated.

In the entire Qingxi Village, only the village chief’s family and Uncle Yang’s family have bullock carts, and one person is one penny for a one-way trip.At this time, Aunt Zhou was the only one in Uncle Yang's ox cart.

"Sister, didn't you just talk about riding an ox cart? Why didn't you leave?" Li Heng asked, pulling Li Ran's hand.

"Let me see what you bought?" As he spoke, he wanted to check Li Ran's pannier. "Aunt Zhou, where do I get the money to buy them? They are all pig offal, which stinks. Do you want me to give you a basket?" Fortunately, all the things I bought just now were packed and put in the basket. Below, the water is installed on the top, so I'm not afraid that she won't believe it.

Sure enough, Aunt Zhou covered her nose and went back to sit on the bullock cart. "You take it home and eat it. Dogs don't like it." Li Ran said angrily, "Our family is just our siblings, we have no income, so it's not like Aunt Zhou, who eats delicious food every day. You haven’t come back from working in the county yet?”

Aunt Zhou silenced her voice immediately. Usually, because Li Daniu worked for a wealthy family in the county, the conditions in the family were not bad, and it was easier for her to be at home. She usually likes to brag about how powerful her man is.At this moment Li Ran said this, and suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Xiao Ran, hurry up and find a place to sit down, and I'll leave later." Uncle Yang greeted Li Ran and his sister warmly.

Li Ran got into the car and found a place to put the back basket, and his shoulders instantly felt relieved.Li Ran gave Uncle Yang two copper coins, and then sat down quietly, waiting for the return journey.

After a while, a dozen or so people from the same village came one after another, filled the ox carts and set off back.

The wheels were spinning and swaying, Li Ran propped up his body and moved in, leaning on the back basket.Along the way, Aunt Zhou chatted briefly with the other aunts, and it was harmless.After walking for a quarter of an hour staggeringly along the way, we finally arrived at the entrance of the village.Most of the people got off the car at the entrance of the village, and Uncle Yang kindly sent the two siblings to the end of the village.

After Li Ran thanked her, she put on the basket and walked to her hut.

finally arrived at home.

"Little brother, let's eat the leftover buns and steamed buns at noon, and my sister will cook something delicious for you in the evening." Li Ran planned to give the remaining bun to Li Heng and eat the steamed buns himself.
