Chapter 26 Dogs look down on people
Jiang Youzhen saw that the clerk was a little hesitant, so she took out a two-liang piece of silver. When the other party saw it, he immediately ran around to help her.
This is just a fellow. It's normal that she can't afford it considering her poor appearance. There's no need to make things difficult for her.
In addition, Jiang Youzhen also bought a piece of turmeric-colored coarse cloth. Since the family had to do heavy work, the second sister and her friends would definitely not be willing to wear fine cotton clothes.
"Oh, right! There are also bedding." She slapped her head. She had cotton, but no quilt cover!
There were only three quilts at home, and the three sisters had to share one because there were no other quilts, so they had to sleep together to keep warm.
"Sir, would you like to order anything else?" Because Jiang Youzhen bought a lot, even the shopkeeper was alarmed and came up to greet him enthusiastically.
He owns a small cloth shop and doesn't have many fashionable fabrics, but they are affordable and many people come to buy from them.
But ordinary people don’t have that much spare money! Few people buy so much at once.
"I need to make quilt covers. Count for me. At least five beds. I want fine cotton, any color is fine."
The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly lit up. A big customer really came today!
"I have experience with this. It depends on how you cut it. According to the size of our farmers, one bolt of cloth can barely make four beds, but it is a bit small. If it is a large quilt, it can only make three beds. If you want to cut sheets, you need two and a half bolts of cloth."
Jiang Youzhen waved her hand and said, "Then take three."
"Okay! Sir, we have some ready-made soles here. Would you like to take a look? We also have ready-made shoes."
Jiang Youzhen couldn't wait any longer when he heard that. "Quick! Give me a pair first."
She was grimacing with cold! The shopkeeper was quite considerate.
"Wait! Get him a pair too, and five pairs for the others, oh! No, ten pairs of soles."
This can be used as leftover fabric for making clothes when I get home. Jiang Youzhen doesn't know the size of his family members' feet, so the soles of the shoes can be cut and re-edged.
"I don't need it!" Asan quickly refused.
"Hey! Take it! Wear it when you go back." Jiang Youzhen said without giving room for refusal.
I was quite generous when I bought it, but when I finally counted the money, I still felt sorry for Jiang Youzhen.
A piece of coarse cloth cost two hundred wen, and the shopkeeper gave her a discount of ten wen per piece because he saw that she bought a lot.
The other fine cotton fabrics were more expensive because Jiang Youzhen wanted bright colors.
All together, it would be enough to make two pieces of cloth, so I sold it for eight hundred and sixty coins.
Together with three more quilt covers and shoe soles, the total cost was two taels and one hundred and fifty coins.
"We are a small business, so we can't go any cheaper. If you don't mind, there are some scraps of cloth at the door. Maybe they can be used when you go back."
The shopkeeper pointed at the door and Jiang Youzhen rushed over immediately. He was a little disappointed when he saw that the clothes were all torn into pieces.
Never mind! Something is better than nothing.
"Boss, I'll leave the stuff here with you. I also need to buy some other things and load them into the car later."
After Jiang Youzhen finished speaking, he went straight to the blacksmith shop. He didn't have a kitchen knife at home, and the one he had was one from someone else. It was rusty and had chips on it, so it was really not easy to use.
You also need to buy pots, pans, and some food and daily necessities.
Jiang Youzhen took his mistress shopping. The mistress gave her directions and she was familiar with the area, so she could buy things at a much lower price.
Little did she know that Manager Zhang of Hongyun Restaurant was sending people to look for her everywhere. Jiang Youzhen had just bought the kitchen knife and left when the waiter found her here.
"Young Master, this town is neither big nor small. Besides, there are many outsiders at the docks, so it is really difficult to find him. It has been so long, I guess he has gone home."
Shopkeeper Zhang looked embarrassed. He didn't tell him earlier that he needed the person, so he had to look for him for a long time but still hadn't found him.
"The Fourth Master took a liking to this cook and said he wanted to take him back home. Now he can't be found, what should we do?"
Young Master Zhou Li regretted his decision. How much better it would have been if he had not let the person go?
"How about we look for it again?" Shopkeeper Zhang was helpless. If he asked for someone so late, the opportunity would be lost.
"Well, he just mentioned it. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Mr. Tong to help me speak for him.
Have you noticed this Mr. Tong? He is a favorite of the Fourth Master and must not be offended."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Since it concerns the young master's future, the shopkeeper dare not be negligent.
"But what is the identity of that Fourth Master? I see you..." The shopkeeper looked at the young master's face carefully.
Zhou Li's face suddenly darkened, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about."
He said as he moved closer to Shopkeeper Zhang, "I only know that he is from the capital and has a distinguished status."
The shopkeeper immediately became very secretive and said no more.
Jiang Youzhen has bought almost everything he needed and is preparing to buy the last bit of rice.
"Let me call a car to bring your stuff over so you don't have to run around anymore."
When Asan saw Jiang Youzhen buying so many things, he sighed that having money makes things different!
"Thank you very much, Third Brother. I am so lucky to have you! You have saved me so much trouble."
Jiang Youzhen was so grateful that she could hardly walk.
Why did this sound a little wrong? Ah San shook his head. Was he overthinking it?
Jiang Youzhen touched her purse. She didn't plan to touch the one hundred taels of silver in there. The smallest silver ingots were five taels each, and they would be too conspicuous if they were taken out.
She bought so many things that she estimated she had spent at least three taels of silver.
He went to the grain store and bought 100 kilograms of white flour, 50 kilograms of black flour, and 50 kilograms of rice.
She also bought some white sugar, brown sugar, salt, sesame oil, etc. She really couldn't carry it anymore, and the ox cart might not be able to hold it.
As for meat, the system also sent a pork leg, which can be eaten for a while.
While taking a break to wait for the ox cart, Jiang Youzhen suddenly saw a jewelry stall opposite.
Thinking that her mother and sisters didn’t even have red hairbands on their heads, she left the food in the shop and walked to the stall.
I felt my pocket and found less than three taels of silver left.
My second and third sisters are about to get married, so I’d better buy them some jewelry.
The stall owner was a young man. When he saw Jiang Youzhen, he waved.
"Boy, go beg for food and don't delay my business."
"Which eye of yours saw me begging? I've never seen a businessman chase people away."
Jiang Youzhen laughed out of anger. Today she had deeply experienced the meaning of looking down on others.
The stall owner looked Jiang Youzhen up and down, then sneered, "You're buying jewelry?"
"Boy, jewelry isn't cheap, are you giving it to your sweetheart?"
The stall owner selling braised pig's trotters nearby glanced at Jiang Youzhen and joked.
"I guess I'll just buy a red hairband. Brother Liang, how can you not do this business?"
It was really because Jiang Youzhen's clothes were too tattered. Although the pair of shoes on his feet looked quite new, they looked even more out of place when paired with the tattered clothes.
Without Asan around, of course no one would give her face.
"Okay! What do you want to buy? You pick." Although the stall owner looked down on her, he didn't chase her away.
The stalls are filled with a dazzling array of goods, which are dizzying to look at.
