Chapter 81 New Clothes
It was not until a quarter of an hour later that the waiter was finally defeated.
Zhang Jinlan happily took out two taels, six hundred coins.
He took away an inkstone, two ink sticks, a book, a piece of paper, a brush and fifty sheets of paper as gifts from the bookshop.
"Grandma is amazing. I can save a lot of money now. I can buy a lot of meat buns."
Jiang Fubao looked at grandma with admiration.
If it was her.
I guess when the waiter said he would give her five sheets of paper for free, she compromised and paid for it.
"Luckily, grandma came with us. If your grandpa had come to buy it, I'm afraid it would have been very expensive."
Zhang Jinlan glared at her husband.
I hate it so much.
Jiang Shoujia shrugged.
He didn't say anything back.
A quarter of an hour later, several people walked to the cloth shop.
The men were waiting at the door.
Zhang Jinlan took her eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter in to choose cloth.
There were colorful fabrics hanging inside, and they were dazzled.
But when the cloth shop owner heard that they wanted to buy coarse cloth, his attitude suddenly became much worse.
Jiang Fubao frowned.
Zhang Jinlan and Zhu Yingqiu didn't care.
They have been poor since childhood and have suffered many kinds of humiliation.
It's just that the attitude is a little worse.
I didn't do anything to them.
The two pretended not to see.
Continue to choose.
"Shopkeeper, how much is this piece of coarse cloth?"
Zhang Jinlan asked while holding a piece of beige coarse cloth.
"Five hundred coins a piece, and the linen cloth next to it is two hundred coins. The price is already the lowest, no bargaining."
As if he was afraid that she would keep asking, the owner of the cloth shop even told her the price of the linen next to it.
"Okay, give me one. Wow, this little dress is so beautiful. Shopkeeper, are you selling it?"
Not only garment shops, but cloth shops also sell ready-made clothes in order to do better business.
There were two sets of girls' clothes hanging on Zhang Jinlan's left hand side, and she couldn't take her eyes off them.
"This is fine cotton, and it's dyed. A set costs half an ounce of silver. Not a penny less!"
Jiang Fubao followed the direction of Grandma's sight.
There are two sets of skirts, with outer shirts of the same color, one set is maroon and the other is light green.
Embroidered with a few peach blossoms and willow branches.
They all look great.
But such a small set costs half an ounce of silver.
It's really too expensive.
"Can I try it?" Zhang Jinlan looked at the patch on her granddaughter's clothes and felt sad. She gritted her teeth and prepared to buy it, but she had to try it to see if it fit.
"Go ahead and try. There's an empty house in the backyard."
Although the cloth shop owner was arrogant, he didn't go too far.
After all, we have to do business.
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
So Jiang Fubao was taken care of by his grandmother and aunt.
Come to the backyard house.
She tried on both sets. There was a bronze mirror in the room.
Standing in front of the mirror, she turned around several times conceitedly.
It is indeed a precious garment, much better looking than linen or coarse cloth.
It's comfortable to wear and doesn't hurt at all.
"Which one does Fubao like?" Zhang Jinlan asked with a smile.
"I don't know, they all look good, let grandma choose." Jiang Fubao couldn't pick one, they all looked good anyway, so she would wear whichever set grandma bought.
"I can't choose either, so let's buy them all, wash and change them. It's time for our Fubao to wear something nice."
Zhang Jinlan helped her granddaughter take off her clothes.
Holding two sets of clothes tightly.
Walked out.
The fact that our family is doing so well now is all thanks to the blessing of our granddaughter.
Just one and a half ounces per set.
What's wrong with spending a few ounces of silver on your granddaughter?
"Have you tried it on? Which one do you want?"
Back to the front of the shop.
The cloth shop owner still had a sullen look on her face. She raised her chin and looked at Zhang Jinlan.
"I want both! Since the price can't be lower, I won't bargain. I bought quite a lot, including the coarse cloth. Give me some more scraps so I can take them home to make patches."
Zhang Jinlan put down her clothes and said lightly.
"OK."
The owner of the cloth shop didn't expect her to buy both sets.
The expression on his face softened a lot and his attitude became more attentive.
Wait for Zhang Jinlan to pay the money.
She gave away a dozen pieces of rags.
And they are not small.
If put together, they can be made into pants for a doll.
After leaving the cloth shop, the Jiang family went to the butcher shop, paid a deposit and left.
Because I spent a lot of money today.
Zhang Jinlan was reluctant to rent a ox cart again.
I went home with seventeen meat buns and a bag of peach blossom cakes wrapped in oil paper.
We haven’t reached the village yet.
Then I heard crying.
"My son, you died so tragically. How can I live like this?"
"Tsk tsk, she must be crying. Come on, Fubao, let's go home quickly." Zhang Jinlan hugged her granddaughter and left quickly.
Never stopped for a moment.
The granddaughter is still young.
No one under the age of seven should witness such a scene.
It's easy to be seduced away by ghosts.
At this time, in the teahouse in the town.
The shopkeeper who bought the Xishi pot that day was entertaining guests in the private room on the third floor.
"Does your teahouse have tea that's different from others?"
This person seems to be used to drinking tea.
Can't stand vulgar things.
He disdained any of the tea names the shopkeeper announced.
"That's all..."
The customer wanted to leave before the shopkeeper had even finished speaking.
He immediately continued, "However, we have just received a set of tea sets in our shop. It has not been used yet and it is the only one in the world. If you would like to order a teapot, I will use this new teapot to fill your cup with tea."
He heard about the new pot, a unique piece he had never seen before.
The guest became interested and sat back down: "Then give me a pot and some cakes."
"Okay, a pot of Qingxue Nengya, and I'll personally pair it with a few different flavors of pastries, so you won't get tired of it."
The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past few days, almost no one has entered the second and third floors.
Not a single business.
Finally got a seat.
How could he let him go?
The Qing Xue Nen Ya that he mentioned just now sells for three taels of silver per pot. It is the most expensive tea in the shop. The Xishi pot is small, so only 30% of the tea leaves need to be put in it. If it is paired with some cakes, it will sell for at least four taels of silver.
No loss, no loss.
He bought this set of tea set originally for the guests in the private room on the third floor.
"Sir, please enjoy your tea slowly."
I waited for a while.
The shopkeeper personally brought the tea up.
"This is the first time I've seen a teapot like this. It looks round and smooth, and the peach blossoms on it are so lifelike. Do you want to sell this tea set?"
The customers didn't mind it being too hot.
Touched it several times.
After taking his hand back, he kept rubbing his fingers on his earlobe, which looked a bit funny.
He didn't even drink the tea.
So I thought about the pot.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I can't sell it. I just bought this tea set. I spent hundreds of taels on it. There is no other set like it in the world. I really can't sell it. I'm sorry, sir."
The shopkeeper's eyes rolled.
The value of the tea set increased from eighty-five taels to several hundred taels.
The guests' eyes were filled with regret.
It's almost a hundred taels, that's more than five hundred taels, he can't afford it.
If it's worth one or two hundred taels, you can buy it home and play with it.
What a pity.
The Jiang family at this time.
They didn't know that the tea sets they sold were sold at ten times the price by the teahouse owner.
