Chapter 7 Everything is ready
The lady of the host family hurriedly laughed, and quickly turned around in her mind, "Well, the nobles in the capital all use this as neck yarn, wait for me to show you!" After finishing speaking, she took out a long yarn and wrapped it around her neck. Time to show Zhao Xier.In fact, what do the nobles in Beijing use this for?She had no idea.

Zhao Xi'er saw the silk net tightly wrapped around her neck by the lady of the host family, and she had no sense of beauty.The scarves here are all for keeping warm, nothing fancy.Naturally, it doesn't look good.She shook her head with a look of disgust, "This gauze is so thin, it doesn't look good, and it can't withstand a little wind. It's better to buy a cotton scarf to keep you warm!" After speaking, she turned and wanted to leave.

"Hey, sister, since you really liked this yarn just now, I'll sell it to you at a lower price." Seeing Zhao Xier turning around to leave, the lady of the host family hurriedly called Zhao Xier who was about to lift her foot to leave.

Zhao Xi'er stopped and turned around, asking casually, "How much is it?"

The lady of the host family looked at the silk yarn with twelve colors and more than 30 strips, each of which was more than two meters long and half a meter wide. "Sister, how much do you want? There are more than 30 in total."

Zhao Xi'er raised her eyes and glanced at the yarn, "How much is a piece?"

The lady of the host family wanted to sell it quickly, but she didn't dare to ask for an expensive price. "Then it will be cheaper, ten yuan a piece."

"Ah? Ten Wen? It's so expensive, so let's forget it. I wanted to buy it cheap, so I bought it home, and made clothes for my little niece's puppet? It's so expensive, so forget it." After finishing speaking, he turned around and raised his foot to ask Walk.Zhao Xi'er is not stupid, just now that lady of the host family's unsightly neck-wrapping method is really not easy to sell.And it is too narrow to make clothes or blouses, and I can't do it with Ben.

"Hey, sister, do you want Bawen?" Seeing that Zhao Xi'er really turned around to leave, the lady of the host family quickly lowered the price.Well, anyway, she collected these from the scrap shop in Beijing, and it only cost a hundred yuan in total.I can earn a little bit.

Zhao Xi'er stopped and turned her head, but she didn't turn back. "A piece of five coins, I want all of yours. Will you sell a total of 150 coins?" Zhao Xier's voice was slightly picky, as if she deliberately didn't want to buy it, and deliberately angered the hostess.Before the words fell, the lady of the host family raised her foot and wanted to leave.

"Hey, that's fine. Let's go with the price you said." Although the lady of the host family felt that the price was a little too low, she was really heartbroken when she thought that no one wanted the tattered yarn for two days.Anyway, she earned fifty cents.

Zhao Xi'er suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, and turned around with an annoyed look on her face.It seems that I regret my quick talk.

Seeing the annoyance on Zhao Xier's face, the lady of the host's house was afraid that Zhao Xier would repent, she swiftly reached out and took down the silk gauze from the shelf, wrapped it and handed it to Zhao Xier. "Sister, this price is really discounted to the end." She was a little afraid that Zhao Xi'er would ask for a bargain again.

Zhao Xi'er really didn't intend to repeat this time, she quickly took out 150 Wen from her sleeve pocket and handed it to the lady of the host family, then took the wrapped silk net and put it into the basket on her right hand.There was a smile on his face, and he thanked, "Well, thank you, my wife, for the discount." If this batch is sold out successfully, I will come here to ask others to buy in the future.The business is done, and this attitude is naturally good.

The lady of the host family was in a good mood because she sold all the bad goods. She smiled and waved her hand, "You're welcome, do you want anything else? Our shop is small, but it has all the goods from the north and the south."

Zhao Xi'er almost forgot to buy some cotton cloth, and went back to make clothes for the baby in her belly.It was only when the lady of the host family mentioned this that she remembered. "Take some more cotton cloth, my boss, you can get it cheaper." Zhao Xi'er said, then raised her eyes to sweep the shelves in the shop.

"Hehe, it must be cheap, girl, ask around, our Wu Dalang silk shop is the best and cheapest."

"Wu Dalang... Heh, cough cough... Well, it's the one with blue background and yellow patterns. It's enough for a two- to three-month-old baby to wear two sets of clothes. How much money does it cost?" Zhao Xi'er didn't pay attention just now. The name of the shop, after hearing the owner's lady mention it, one couldn't help laughing.Seeing the puzzled eyes of the lady of the host family again, he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Young lady has a good eye. It's a new product that was just shipped from Zhaonan this year. I'll leave thirty cents behind." The lady of the host family flattered her with a smile. She walked over to the shelf and took off the cotton cloth that Zhao Xi'er was pointing at.

In the end, Zhao Xi'er bought enough fabric for two sets of clothes for the baby with twenty Wen, and left the shop with a basket on her shoulders.

Then she hurried to a nearby grocery store. If she wanted to make silk screen flowers and silk screen ornaments, she would naturally have to buy some silk thread and iron wire, as well as simple ornaments.

Zhao Xi'er acted very quickly. She bought silk thread and iron wire for eighty renminbi at the grocery store, and bought some straw ropes for making baskets for another ten renminbi. She wanted to use the straw ropes to weave craft vases.I bought another three hundred coins of simple accessories.

When she walked out of the grocery store, Zhao Xi'er still had 440 nine Wen on her.Looking up at the sky, the sun is not so vicious anymore.According to modern time, it is estimated that it is more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Zhao Xi'er thought that Zhang Xing'er must have had lunch by this time, and she might be impatient to wait for her.

Her body knew it well, she didn't dare to go to the doctor's shop to find Zhang Xing'er and return to the village hungry.What should I do if I feel so flustered that I can’t walk, or faint on the road?
Zhao Xi'er walked to Wang's Medical Shop, found a restaurant on the way, bought a steamed stuffed bun for one penny, and bought a bowl of mutton soup for five pennies.

After filling her stomach, she rushed to the Wang Family Clinic, but Zhang Xing'er was no longer there.The boy said that her mother's illness was quite serious, so he rented a car and went to Yizhou City in the morning.

Zhao Xi'er didn't dare to delay after leaving the medical shop, so she hurried back.After resting twice along the way, I finally returned to Taohua Village with sore legs.

At this time, the setting sun was almost at an end, the sky was already dim, and every household in Taohua Village also raised smoke from cooking.

When Zhao Xi'er returned to Zhou's house, Zhou Xiang'er was busy making dinner in the kitchen, and Zhou Youcai was lighting a fire on the stove.

Zhou Xiang'er poured oil into the pot and yelled dissatisfiedly, "Father, according to what you said, our family will be angry with that little bitch in the future? She is lawless when she is pregnant? Look , What time is this? She's still out in the field, brother just left, not even her bones are cold!"

Zhou Youcai stuffed the firewood in his hand into the stove, "What are you talking about? She gave birth to your nephew, so naturally she didn't dare to be arrogant. Didn't your mother just say that she went to the town to buy things!"

"Hmph, what should I buy for a day? Could it be that she dated a wild man outside? She just became impatient after becoming a widow." Zhou Xiang'er curled her lips with a look of disdain.

"You also know that your brother's bones are not cold? You really have your brother in your heart, and you still bully his widow and orphan like this? Zhou Xianger, you can eat indiscriminately, but it's better not to talk too much. If you say that about your sister-in-law, it's a good idea to spread the word and throw it away." We are from the Zhou family." Zhao Xi'er heard Zhou Xiang'er's nonsense as soon as she entered the yard, stood at the kitchen door and glanced at Zhou Xiang'er, who was disdaining and despising her, and after finishing speaking in a flat tone, she turned around and went to her side room with a basket on her shoulders.
