Chapter 82 Finally became popular!
After leaving the cloth shop, Gu Lianshan finally had time to ask Gu Tang: "Just now the shopkeeper said that you didn't buy anything yourself? But you didn't find anything you liked? Daddy will take you to look at other shops?"
"No need. I still have dozens of rabbit skins. Considering my size, I can make two sets of fur coats. When you go back, you can make them for me when you have time. There is no need to spend money to buy them."
Most of the fur coats in the cloth shop were made of the lowest quality leather, and the prices of slightly better ones were much higher.
It’s not cost-effective after all, so I’d better go back and do it myself.
"Okay! Dad will make it for you when he gets home."
After returning to the ox cart and waiting for her father to put the bedding on the chicken coop, Gu Tang hurriedly took out two fur coats and asked the father and son to wear them to keep warm. She put the remaining two coats back on the bedding and tied them up.
"T-You bought two for me?!"
Gu Ping'an put on the fur coat and saw Gu Tang taking two other fur coats, one large and one small, and tying them on the bedding. He cried out in surprise.
"Yes! I bought two for you and dad, so you need a replacement. Are you all like your uncle, wearing the same fur coat year after year without washing or changing it?"
Gu Pingan was so happy that he didn't know what to do. He touched the clothes carefully with both hands and whispered to Gu Tang: "New clothes are expensive, just buy me old clothes. I'm afraid these two new clothes will cost a lot of money."
"Clothes are our face. If we didn't have money, it would be fine. But now we have money, so we should buy new clothes."
Gu Tang helped him tie the belt and asked him to turn around to see if it fit.
"It fits me well!" Gu Ping'an turned it around several times and he felt it fit me perfectly.
Gu Tang felt it was a bit too big: "The shopkeeper was right. He said it would be a bit too big for you. Now it seems to be a bit too big."
"Bigger is better!" Gu Ping'an said quickly, "I still need to grow taller, so if I wear something bigger this year, it will fit me better next year!"
"That's what the shopkeeper said." Gu Tang looked at it carefully. Apart from being a little big, everything else was good.
"If you ask me, Ping An should buy bigger clothes. After next year, there is still the year after next."
Gu Lianshan patted his clothes beautifully and made some random remarks.
Gu Tang glared at him and said, "After the year after next, there's still the year after that! You might as well give yours to Ping An as well. After all, he won't be long before he grows up!"
Gu Lianshan was immediately unhappy: "Ever since your grandmother passed away, I, your father, have never worn new clothes! Even when I got married, I borrowed someone else's old clothes!
After more than 20 years, I finally got to wear new clothes today. I haven’t even had a moment to enjoy my beauty yet, and you’re showing partiality to me again!”
Gu Tang paused and asked curiously, "From what you said, when my great-grandmother was alive, did you often wear new clothes?"
"Of course not! You are too cute..."
Gu Lianshan suddenly stopped talking halfway through his words.
"What's wrong with me being too milky?" Gu Tang didn't understand why he didn't say anything.
Gu Lianshan sighed and waved his hands: "It's all old news. Why bring it up now? Hurry up and get in the car. We have to go buy other things."
Gu Tang curled his lips. He hated people saying things halfway.
When I have some free time one day, I will get her father drunk and ask him about her grandmother.
Climb aboard the ox cart and continue walking along the street.
We didn't stop on the way back this time. Firstly, we didn't see anything we wanted to buy, and secondly, there was really no room left on the ox cart.
Not long after, the ox cart slowly arrived at the new yard and stopped at the gate.
After opening the gate, Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an unloaded the chickens and ducks from the ox cart and moved them into the yard.
Gu Tang hadn't decided where to raise the chickens and ducks, so he asked the father and son to put them in the yard first.
After they have decorated the yard, they will move in the chickens and ducks.
After moving the chicken coops and duck coops, Gu Lianshan also carried the bedding in the car to the second courtyard and put it in a room at random, and made the bed later.
Then they locked the door and the father and his two sons drove the ox cart to continue shopping.
This place was not far from the street where rice, flour, grain and oil were sold, so Gu Tang asked her father to drive over to buy rice, flour, grain and oil first.
This was bought and stored in the new yard to deal with emergencies.
In case I suddenly have to stay here overnight, at least I have something to fill my stomach.
Therefore, you don’t need too much, just a few pounds of each will be fine.
After buying these, there are shops on the next street selling pots, pans, charcoal, firewood, stoves and other items.
The father and his two sons went there and bought three iron pots, two kitchen knives, five soup pots, five casseroles, five earthenware jars, and two or three medicine pots.
Three large and three small water jars, ten pairs of bowls and chopsticks, four or five gourds, a dozen large and small basins, and a dozen large and small buckets...
In addition to these, there are also stoves, ten of them, both big and small.
The stove required 100 kilograms of charcoal and 500 kilograms of firewood.
When they reached the end of the street, they saw some kettles for making tea, so Gu Tang picked out a few and bought them, as well as tea cups and other items, and ordered several sets at the same time.
After walking down two streets, I figured it was about the same.
You don't have to buy tables, chairs, benches, beds, cabinets, boxes, etc. for the house. When you buy the yard, they give you a complete set of household items.
Each room is fully equipped and you can just lay out the bedding and move in normally.
The Gu family’s ox cart could not carry all the things they bought, so they pulled the small items themselves and had the store deliver the large items to their door.
After coming back from the street, Gu Lianshan felt distressed all the way and asked Gu Tang how much money he had spent.
Gu Tang calculated and estimated that there were about twenty or thirty taels.
"Why are they so expensive?" Gu Lianshan was shocked. They were just common things, why were they so expensive?
Gu Tang said, "I picked all the good ones. I didn't even want the ones I was waiting for."
Gu Lianshan: ...Prodigal daughter!
Not long after returning to the yard, the shop owners outside came over with the goods.
Gu Tang only paid half of the money for the items delivered to his door. He would inspect the items and settle the balance after confirming that they were correct.
The store is only responsible for delivering the goods to the door and does not take care of anything else. Therefore, all these things are piled up in the yard, crowded together, with almost no space to step.
Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an helped put the heavy objects where they should be, while Gu Tang followed behind with some light objects to help.
It took me an hour to finish the work.
Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an were extremely tired and sat on a low stool, gasping for breath.
Although it was tiring, the yard finally had some people around.
As long as the bedding is laid out and the chickens and ducks are settled, it will feel like a normal family home.
You have to choose a house before spreading the bedding. You can choose a house with two or three courtyards, both of which can be lived in.
But Gu Tang liked to live alone, so he occupied the third courtyard alone.
Gu Lianshan and his son Gu Ping'an live together in the second courtyard.
Gu Lianshan lived in the east room of the main house, and Gu Pingan lived in the west room of the main house.
After allocating the houses, the next step is to place the chickens and ducks.
Logically speaking, there is a lot of open space in the third courtyard, which is most suitable for raising chickens and ducks, but Gu Tang is not happy about it.
The third courtyard is where she lives, how can it be used to raise chickens and ducks?
