Chapter 28 This is a waste of meat!

Dabao and Erbao were amused by Jiang Lianzhu's words.

The others also blinked their eyes. This young lady said one thing and thought another. It was enough.

Xiang Zuo did not hesitate and took out a silver note of sixty taels and gave it to Jiang Lianzhu, who handed the ginseng to him.

After examining each of them, Jiang Lianzhu said happily, "I wish your patient a speedy recovery and a cure. Thank you, boss! I also thank you for your clinic. The old doctor is so upright and has boundless medical ethics..."

A lot of flattery.

Dabao moved his eyes to look at the ceiling and could no longer bear to look at Jiang Lianzhu.

Erbao said he learned it.

Xiang Zuo followed the old doctor to the clinic to get medicine.

A waiter was left outside to watch over the shop. He expressed his envy to Jiang Lianzhu, "My dear lady, you are incredibly lucky. If this gentleman hadn't been in urgent need, you would only be paid for 40 taels of ginseng at most in the county town."

Jiang Lianzhu and the children were all happy.

This is indeed the case. The purchase price and the selling price are definitely different.

Jiang Lianzhu asked the waiter to buy some Sichuan mugwort and some monk fruit, and took the children to the street to buy things.

With so much money in hand, why not spend it well?

This time we went to the clothing store first, and the four of us bought two new sets of clothes each. Autumn is coming, and the weather will get colder and colder, so we need to buy jackets and mid-length clothes. We don't have any cotton-padded jackets at home, so we have to prepare them first. We also bought a set of winter clothes for each of us.

When Erbao was trying on the new clothes, he hesitated a little, "Mom, didn't we buy too many? We don't need to buy so many cotton-padded jackets. We don't have to go out in winter. Just buy one cotton-padded jacket for my brother. Then, whoever goes out can wear it. We can save some money. Other families do this."

Jiang Lianzhu felt both amused and sad when she heard this. "Other families do this, but we don't. We want everyone to have clothes to wear. Even at home, we need to keep warm. We have to spend the money we earn. If it's gone, we have to earn more. Otherwise, what's the point of earning money without spending it?"

The three of them nodded.

I have mixed feelings in my heart. My mother is so nice now.

After buying the clothes, Jiang Lianzhu also bought a quilt cover and sheets, and even bought two new quilted bedspreads.

The store owner was delighted, "Where do you live? I'll deliver the goods to you for free. There are so many things, it won't be difficult for you and your mother to carry them." This was today's big customer.

More than a dozen sets of clothes, plus bedding, brought in over ten taels of silver.

Jiang Lianzhu replied, "That's fine, thank you very much, boss. In that case, please give me two more small quilts and two sets of matching quilt covers. They should be made of fine cotton so that I can be more comfortable."

Now that the children are still young, brothers and sisters can sleep in the same bed, but there are still differences between boys and girls, so it is best to sleep separately.

Also, she was used to sleeping alone in her previous life, and would easily disturb the quilt in her sleep. She was afraid that if she fell asleep at night, she would snatch the quilt away and let the children catch a cold.

It is best for each person to have his or her own quilt and sleep comfortably.

There was no way before, but now we have the conditions, and we’d rather be as comfortable as possible. After all, life isn’t something that can be done in a day or two, it’s a long-term process.

The shopkeeper readily agreed. Jiang Lianzhu paid half of the deposit and let the kids rest here. Sanbao had already started to doze off as he was young and prone to sleepiness.

Erbao stayed in the store to take care of his sister, while Dabao and Jiang Lianzhu went to buy other things.

I first went to the grocery store to buy some vegetable seeds. The land in the backyard was almost turned over and I could plant vegetables. I had to have common vegetables like ginger, onion, garlic, cabbage, radish, leek, spinach, etc. Otherwise, I wouldn't have any seasoning to make dumplings at home.

It’s not right to borrow from neighbors every day. Just plant whatever you can and it will be much better to eat your own food.

Then, I bought some tools, such as scissors, spatulas, scissors, sickles, etc.

I also bought various utensils and containers, large and small jars for storing autumn pear paste, large wooden basins and barrels, and an additional set of pots, pans, and other utensils.

Prepare for peeling, picking and boiling autumn pear paste.

They also bought a few big padlocks to prevent people from breaking into the house and searching things when their mothers were not at home. The main target of their defense was Old Wang's family.

When you're not at home, lock the door, unless they knock on it...

Finally, buy food!

This time, there was a special horse-drawn carriage to deliver the goods, so Jiang Lianzhu didn't have to carry them on her back. She bought 100 kilograms of rice, 100 kilograms of flour, and about 100 kilograms of cornmeal, oil, salt, etc. These are all durable and will not go bad, so she can stock up more.

Then there are more than ten pounds of pork and ten pounds of ribs. Pig offal is cheap and can be delicious as long as it is cleaned, but Jiang Lianzhu doesn't have time to do this.

She wants to make autumn pear paste while the season is still open, and then make it for the children when she has free time.

The owner of the pork stall asked Jiang Lianzhu if her family was planning to have a banquet in this weather. His implication was that he had bought too much and was worried that the pork would go bad if they couldn't finish it.

Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said that the children loved to eat it.

Of course, the children's love of food is one aspect, but the main reason is that there are three little wolf cubs in the family, who are also carnivores. Jiang Lianzhu looked around the market but couldn't find any milk or goat's milk. Just feeding them corn porridge every day is definitely not nutritious enough for them. She is afraid that she can't keep them alive, so she has to mix some cooked meat paste into it.

This is a waste of meat!

Other things such as rock candy, snacks for the children, and cakes were also bought.

The owner of the clothing store was stunned when he saw Jiang Lianzhu moving the items one by one.

Is this young lady a nouveau riche? !

He has been in business for many years and knows that one should not ask about other people's privacy casually, as asking too much will bring bad luck.

In this way, Jiang Lianzhu basically completed the purchase, spending about twenty taels of silver. To be honest, sixty taels is quite a lot, but it wouldn't take long to actually spend it.

Return with a full load.

A full carriage.

Sanbao also woke up, and when he saw that he was going to ride in a carriage, he became very energetic.

It was the first time for the children to ride in a horse carriage. Riding in a horse carriage is different from riding in an ox cart. It is much faster.

Just a little bumpy.

Jiang Lianzhu estimated that it would take about half an hour, or an hour, to walk to the town. It would take about the same amount of time to take a bullock cart, and only about twenty minutes to take a horse carriage.

The carriage is loaded. If it weren't so loaded, it would have gone faster.

When she has more money, Jiang Lianzhu wants to buy a carriage and drive it herself to save time.

Hehe, let’s think about it this way first.

The remaining forty taels of silver in her hand were definitely not enough, and she still had great use for them.

***

When I got home, many villagers came to watch the fun.

It is quite rare that there is not a single horse-drawn carriage in the village all year round.
