Chapter 26 Buying Cotton-padded Clothes
Lu Jinnian looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky and sighed helplessly.
It's better to wait until it snows, and the snow is very heavy, and it looks like it will snow for a long time.
"It's snowing..." Lu Jinxin looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky, her eyes full of surprise.
They all live in the south, where have they
ever seen snow? It snowed a little bit two days ago, and it stopped before they could react, so now it's more of a surprise.
Lu Jinnian's first reaction when she saw the snow was that it was time to prepare clothes.
They didn't have cotton-padded clothes yet, so they had to hurry up.
Thinking that it was still early, she carried the backpack, put the axe on her waist and said, "I'm going to the city, you stay at home obediently, understand?"
"Got it!"
The younger brother and sister were very obedient, and after having food, they listened to her more.
Seeing them nod, Lu Jinnian left with peace of mind.
Today's task is to buy cotton-padded clothes and shoes, and to buy some other things.
She plans to use the seasoning in the space. The salt is very expensive now, and it is all very rough and large pieces of salt, and it is not filtered at all.
It would be better to use the things in the space by herself, which are clean and free of charge.
After walking for more than an hour, she finally came to the city gate. The people who had gathered here were gone, and there were only two guards at the gate.
Before, there were many people guarding the gate, and anyone who was wearing tattered clothes would not be allowed to enter the city.
This is also a way to distinguish between disaster victims and ordinary people. After all, when fleeing from famine, everything that can be sold is exchanged for food, and the same goes for clothes.
Lu Jinnian entered the city safely, looked around first, and then walked towards the clothing store.
There are cloth and cotton for sale here, but it may take until the New Year to make clothes for four people.
What else can she wear? She can only buy ready-made ones, not to mention that she doesn't want her sister to suffer so much at such a young age.
It's not like she doesn't have the conditions. She can still afford to buy ready-made ones.
When the owner of the ready-made clothing store saw that she was still wearing a single piece of clothing made of coarse cloth, she immediately lost the idea of entertaining her.
"Go away, don't delay my business here!" The owner waved the measuring tape impatiently, as if chasing away a fly.
Lu Jinnian frowned, wondering why this person was like this? He opened a door to do business and still looked down on others.
She didn't say anything, turned around and left. There were many people selling clothes in the city, and his family was not a big deal.
When she came to the shop opposite, the business of this shop was obviously not as good as the previous one, but the owner was a woman in her fifties, and she didn't drive her away when she saw her.
"Young man, what clothes do you want to buy? I can recommend them to you." The woman smiled, and there were not many people in the room, so she entertained her.
After looking around, Lu Jinnian pointed to a set of long coats and trousers for children of seven or eight years old, both made of cotton.
"How much does this set cost?"
Hearing this, the woman looked back at her and said, "This is too small, you can't wear it." She
has been selling ready-made clothes for many years, so she can naturally tell at a glance what size clothes others wear.
Lu Jinnian smiled and said, "I bought it for my brother. How much is it?"
Hearing this, the woman replied, "A set costs five hundred coins."
After that, she said, "Cotton is very expensive. If you think it's too expensive, you can choose this one. It's made of reed fluff and cotton. A set only costs two hundred coins."
Because children's clothes are not big, very little fabric is needed, but the cotton inside is a little more expensive.
What's more, Lu Jinnian chose coarse cloth clothes, which are even cheaper.
Hearing the price, Lu Jinnian couldn't help smacking his lips. How many coins is a pound of meat? This set of clothes costs five hundred coins.
As for the reed fluff, she didn't want it as soon as she heard it. It must not be a good thing.
