The sturdy farmer's wife: the prince's favorite concubine

Chapter 24 The Temperature of a New Life
In the afternoon of that day, Mrs. Shen brought back the new bed. It is not expensive, but it may not be very good. Eye didn't speak.

With the current situation of her family, it would be nice to have such a bed to sleep in. There is no rush to buy a good bed. After the family is divided, I will add it slowly. The days are lived day by day, and the meals are eaten at one bite, and the money has to be paid back. Save one by one?

Thinking of this, the mother and daughter rolled up the new bed frame at home, Shen and Yang Guangzhong put a big bed in the room, and their original bed was placed in the room where the two sisters are sleeping now.

Here, Yang Yuanqiu's bed was also replaced with two new small beds.

The old one was placed in Xie Shaoting's current room, and the room where the two sisters slept had three beds.

The two sisters put it inside, and put another one near the door, which Yang Yuanxiang prepared for her "good" aunt.

That night, after a few people packed up, the dinner in front of Lao Yang's house was over, so Yang Yuanxiang took an old casserole and boiled some corn paste. When it was cooking, Yang Yuanxiang took it to the earthen stove behind his house to cook.

The corn paste was very sticky, the mother and daughter ate it without looking at each other and laughing, even Xie Shaoting, who always ate less, drank two bowls, boasting that the corn paste was sweet and delicious.

At night, everyone slept on clean sheets, let alone clean sheets, even if they were of the same quality, they were still much more comfortable than before.

One night without words, everyone had a sweet dream.

Early the next morning, Yang Yuanxiang took Yang Yuanshu with him and followed the Lin family's carriage to the town. The village head's house is the village head's house. Not to mention anything else, only his family has a carriage in the whole village. It is very convenient to go to the town .

Lin Zhichuan got out of the car first because he was going to school.

Yang Yuanxiang took Yang Yuanshu into a cotton shop, planning to buy some quilts for the family.

The shopkeeper looked at the teenage girl in front of him, a little unsure.

"Little girl, what do you want?"

Yang Yuanxiang pointed to the white cotton wadding in the store.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this cotton?"

The shop owner was taken aback when he heard this. Such a young girl also came to buy cotton wool?

It's not that he looks down on the country people, it's mainly because the two sisters are not very old, so they really don't seem like customers who want to come to buy cotton wool.

"Little girl, if you want to buy a small amount of cotton batting, you can go to the back of my shop to pick it up. There are quite a lot left over from making quilts, which is enough for you to play with."

When Yang Yuanqiu heard this, she was a little scared. She had no money at home, and she still felt a little inferior. When the shopkeeper said this, she was naturally embarrassed.

Seeing that his younger sister was timid, Yang Yuanxiang took out a few taels of silver from his pocket, and turned to look at the shopkeeper.

"Tell me, how do you sell your cotton wool? I bought a lot today. Let's see how much discount you give."

When the shopkeeper saw the silver, he realized that he had misread it, and hurried out from behind the counter.

"Girl, what price do you want to buy? My house has everything. The top one is from outside, 28 yuan a catty, the middle one is collected by my family in the countryside, 22 yuan a catty, and the bottom one is ten yuan a catty. Six pennies per catty, it’s not bad to make padding.”

Yang Yuanxiang thought for a while, and pointed to the bottom sixteen characters per catty.

"I'll make three ten-pound battings here. I have the size here, and the middle one. I'll make one big ten-pound batting, and three smaller six-pound battings."

The shopkeeper hurriedly wrote it down, and Yang Yuanxiang continued.

"For the top one, make one big eight-pound quilt, three six-pound quilts, then one big three-pound thin quilt, and three smaller two-pound quilts. All the quilts should be wrapped with gauze. Come to town to pick it up in two days."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately smiled. As soon as Yang Yuanxiang said it, he knew that this girl was not only a big customer, but also a knowledgeable big customer, so naturally he didn't dare to underestimate her.

Yang Yuanxiang spent a total of two taels of silver and 76 copper coins to buy these quilts.

She looked at the shopkeeper, handed over a tael of silver and said.

"This is a deposit. Write me a receipt so that I can have a proof when I come to pick up the quilt."

The shopkeeper hurriedly wrote the receipt after hearing this, and said again.

"Girl, if you don't want to add more than 100 wen and add [-] wen, I'll make you two more pairs of pillows that weigh two catties, and use the best cotton to make sure it's done well."

Yang Yuanxiang shook his head.

"Shopkeeper, you make small profits but sell too much, why don't you wipe the copper plates for me, and I don't want pillows, and give me two taels of silver to make the quilt well. I will make cotton clothes next year and come to your house to buy cotton."

The storekeeper couldn't help giving a thumbs up when he heard it.

"Young lady knows how to do business better than me. That's great. Okay. If you're willing to be a repeat customer, why don't you forget about the small change? Go back to the village and help me promote it to your neighbors. enough."

Yang Yuanxiang nodded, put the receipt in his arms, and went out happily, ready to tear some cloth to make some bed sheets and quilt covers.

But as soon as he went out, he met a group of big soldiers.

When the big soldiers saw Yang Yuanxiang coming out, they stopped her and asked.

"Little girl, have you seen this person?"

Speaking of which, a portrait was spread out in front of Yang Yuanxiang's eyes. Yang Yuanxiang glanced at it and was stunned. The person in the portrait turned out to be that stupid idiot in her family.

"You two big brothers, I don't know what's going on. What did this man do?"

Hearing that, the big soldier waved impatiently.

"What do you inquire about so much? You are the kind of common people who can inquire about the affairs of the government? You just say whether you have seen it or not."

Yang Yuanxiang thought about it and decided to save the idiot's life. No matter who the idiot was in the past, the idiot now is just a poor person who can't live without leaving her house.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuanxiang shook his head decisively.

"No, I haven't seen it."

Seeing that she shook her head in denial, the chief soldier muttered a few words with a bad face.

"I haven't seen what to ask, it's wasting my time."

After saying that, he turned around and left, but Yang Yuanxiang lost his mind to buy things now, he pulled his sister up and went to the place where the Lin family parked the carriage.

"Sister, that's obviously brother idiot, are those officials trying to arrest him?"

Yang Yuanxiang covered his sister's mouth, shook his head, and signaled Yang Yuanqiu not to speak, and the two sisters went back to Heshui Village in silence.

As soon as he got home, Yang Yuanxiang went straight to Xie Shaoting's bedside.

"Idiot?"

Xie Shaoting raised his head and looked at Yang Yuanxiang with puzzlement in his eyes.
