Chapter 13 Visiting the Market (2)

Seeing that the horse was getting farther and farther away from them, Mu Zhongli gritted his teeth, paid for a horse-drawn carriage, and chased after it.

In this room, Mu Caiwei, Du and the shopkeeper of Zuixianju have already negotiated the price. The wild boar was sold to Zuixianju in its entirety at a fixed price of ten taels of silver.

After finishing the silver goods, Du Shi's eyelids turned red with excitement when she took the large silver ingot from the shopkeeper. A pair of rough hands caressed the ingot of silver, as if caressing a delicate baby.

"Weier, tell mother, is this true? We have ten taels of silver?"

Caiwei said with a smile: "You do have ten taels of silver now, but don't blame my daughter for not reminding you. If you still stand here wiping your tears, I promise that when grandpa and uncle come back later, these ten taels will be The money is no longer yours!"

A word reminded Du. She hurriedly hid the money in her arms, took her daughter's hand and said, "Weier, hurry up, let's hide. "

Caiwei patted her hand and said, "Mom, don't worry, the horse is frightened and won't be able to stop for a while. Even if it stops, it won't be how many miles it has run. They have to go back if they want to go back." To spend some time, why don't we and I go shopping first, see what is missing at home, and buy some back."

Mrs. Du also had this intention. There were too many things missing at home, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon. Now that she had money, she just bought some things to add happiness to the family.

The mother and daughter made a good plan and walked out of Zuixianju and onto the street.

This is Caiwei's first shopping trip after traveling through time. The ancient streets are very simple and elegant, with bluestone paving, spacious and clean. There are many wine shops, medical clinics, grocery stores, pawn shops, banks, teahouses, cloth shops, etc. on both sides, all with the guise of their own shops hanging in front of the door.

It was almost the end of the year, and although it was surprisingly cold, there were still many people on the street. Caiwei and her mother held hands and happily selected on the street. Many people dressed in country clothes were holding oxcarts or carrying earthen baskets. , walking on the streets, buying new year's goods, or selling home-produced local products. Wood ear mushrooms, cornmeal, steamed steamed buns, handmade baskets, wooden basins, mangers, as well as those selling home-brewed rice wine, selling frozen tofu, and many sellers carrying burdens, were greatly attacked. With the girl and her daughter-in-law watching, Caiwei would also squeeze in to take a look with great interest, and even pulled two feet of red-headed rope from a salesman's load for Fei'er, which cost only five cents, and another six cents. I bought two candy figures with the money and planned to go back to give them to Wen'er and Wu'er in the evening.

After shopping for a while, Caiwei was pulled into a cloth shop by her mother.

The cloth shop is not big, and the cloths in it are all coarse cotton, and there are no high-end goods such as brocade.

"Sister-in-law, are you buying some cloth?"

Behind the wooden counter, the waiter said hello lazily. His narrow and shrewd eyes slid from Du Shi's patched cotton coat to Cai Wei's exposed cotton coat. Although he didn't say anything unpleasant, The raised chin and narrowed eyes clearly looked down upon the two people in front of him.

"Yes, it's Chinese New Year, and I plan to make a new coat for each of the children." Du was in a good mood and was not affected by the waiter's contempt for others.

When the waiter heard that there was really business, he immediately became warm as if he had changed his face: "Hey! Sister-in-law is such a loving mother. Come on, come here!"

He led Du Shi straight to the coarse cloth counter.

"Sister-in-law, please take a look. We collected these coarse cloths a few days ago. The quality is definitely not good. It's just because they were not dyed well and there are some flowers. So we sell them to you cheaper, how about it?"

"Boy, we don't buy coarse cloth!" Caiwei said.

When the waiter heard this, he looked at the girl who was speaking.

The girl was young and still very young. Her yellow and thin face had not yet grown, and her body was very thin, but she had a pair of extremely clear eyes, which were as deep and deep as the water in a deep pool. Indifference is irresistible.

Somehow, the waiter shuddered and stopped.
