At the hour of Mao, Liu Yuhan was still in the room, and the two hardworking little bees had already gotten up to help make breakfast.
Liu Yuhan closed the door and took out today's dishes from the space. The ribs and pork belly he had bought at the farmers' market were all eaten, leaving only the big bones.
I have to go to the county town today to buy more meat. People who work cannot do without some oil and water.
Today, take out the big bones and a winter melon and cook big bone and winter melon soup.
Take out 30 eggs, 30 loofahs, and stir-fry the loofah with eggs. Then take out 10 cabbages, put them in a backpack and take them to grandma and her children. They consume a lot of vegetables every day, but fortunately she planted them in time.
She also sent a lot of various melons and vegetables to her uncle and aunt, and also asked Li to give her two younger brothers some cabbage, winter melon and pumpkin.
They asked the three families to save good seeds of winter melon and pumpkin for planting next year. They also saved seeds for themselves and would share them with everyone in the village if there were too many. These were high-yield seeds, and they had eaten them on the road to escape famine, so they didn't mind them.
After eating the porridge and steamed buns cooked by their mothers, Liu Yuhan and his father set off for the county town in their unique carriage. The strong wind numbed them. It was a majestic and handsome horse, pulling a rotten ox-drawn carriage...
A twenty-li carriage would take three-quarters of an hour to reach the destination. The road was not very wide, and sometimes you had to give way to other carriages (ox-drawn or horse-drawn) to get there faster.
That day in the county town, they just passed through the county government office and did not observe much.
Changle County is quite large. Village Chief Lin said it has ten towns and, due to its large area, has a population of 180,000, comparable to the population of Yiyang City.
Unfortunately, the county seat is a coastal city, and the output of Shatin is low.
Changle County is the largest and poorest county in Fu'an City, and ranks second to last every year.
County Magistrate Lin was well-known for his bad temper among the other counties. He did not want others to speak ill of his county, so his colleagues would stay away from him when they saw him.
This guy is such a scumbag, how can he have a beautiful wife? How can he do that?
When Liu Yuhan thought of County Magistrate Lin, he remembered his beard that was covered in mud and was shaking, and he couldn't help laughing.
He must have an interesting soul.
The father and daughter went to the grain store to buy glutinous rice. There was glutinous rice, 20 wen per catty, so they bought 300 catties, spending 6 liang. Adding the 100 catties at home, they still had 400 catties, which was enough.
Liu Yuhan thought it was a luxury to use grain to build houses! Once again, he sighed, "It would be great if there was cement."
The carriage had been left at the county town gate, and a five-cent custody fee had been paid, which was the cost for one hour.
Liu Yuhan asked the waiter to use a cart to take them to the entrance of a deserted alley and put them down. Liu Shinan put the place under martial law, and Liu Yuhan put the glutinous rice into the space.
The father and daughter walked around to see if there was any furniture for sale, and asked passers-by where the largest furniture store was.
There is a furniture store in the widest area in the north of the city. When the father and daughter entered the store, the waiter greeted them warmly.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, what kind of furniture do you need? Our shop only displays some samples. You can buy them now or have them made to order."
"Little Brother, please introduce everything. We need some beds and wardrobes."
"What price range would you two like? The ones on this side are affordable, while those on the other side are made of fine materials, are more expensive, and will last longer."
"Oh, what kind of wood are these? What's the price range?"
"These three are red sandalwood, huanghuali, and wenge. These woods are relatively hard, hard to find, and expensive. A bed needs to be carved, which takes a lot of time and costs at least 50 taels."
"The woods commonly used here are fir, catalpa, camphor, and beech. Nanmu is also the first choice for wealthy families. The woods are all very good and are commonly used in the south. The starting price here is five taels. What do you think, sir?"
Liu Yuhan pointed to a bed and asked, she thought the smell was nice.
"What about this?"
"Sir, you have good taste. This is nanmu. Nanmu is resistant to rot and insects and has a subtle fragrance. It is the choice of most people and the price is also reasonable. This bed, delivered and packaged, costs eight taels of silver. Look at the workmanship and carving. This price is not expensive."
"If we buy fourteen beds, can we get a cheaper price? I'd also like to get some matching wardrobes."
"Sir, please wait a moment. I, I'm calling our shopkeeper."
The waiter excitedly ran to call for help, and the father and daughter looked through some more wardrobes. Liu Yuhan felt that there were some similarities with modern times. The wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated.
The shopkeeper came hurriedly and enthusiastically introduced the items to them. Liu Yuhan once again showed her bargaining spirit and offered to buy a wardrobe and bed set, 14 sets for 10 taels each.
The shopkeeper was almost vomiting blood after being bargained down by her! You bargained down the price of a wardrobe worth five taels to three taels. How cruel!
Liu Yuhan acted as if, "If you can sell it, then sell it. If you can't, then I'll leave." Since wood is commonly available, the expensive part is the labor. No matter how expensive the labor is, it's impossible to sell it that expensively.
Ten taels a set is almost 10,000 yuan, although she thinks it's okay.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, asked them where they wanted to send it and when they would need it, and told them to pay for the shipping fee themselves, which was about one or two taels.
They knew how to install it, Liu Yuhan nodded reluctantly, and also specifically told the shopkeeper that the quality must be guaranteed. If the quality was not good, they would not be paid later, but they would still accept the items.
Shopkeeper...
This girl is so beautiful but a little unreasonable... He is the one who suffers!
The total amount was 141 taels. I paid 41 taels first, took the receipt, and told them that I would come to say hello to them before delivering the goods and that I would come before the New Year.
Liu Yuhan left happily having accomplished an important task.
Liu Shinan: My daughter spent over 100 taels on a bed and wardrobe. I can't believe how mad my family will be if they find out. Well, if they ask, I'll just say it's cheaper.
