Chapter 387 Cowhide Boots
Seeing her interest, the vendor immediately introduced it: "This is freshly made, using the best top-grain cowhide."
Ye Mingzhu had worn countless cowhide shoes in modern times, and could tell that these were genuine cowhide boots. She inspected the shoes thoroughly and found no problems, then said, "The government doesn't allow the killing of cows, so this cowhide..."
Speaking of this, the vendor's face was full of bitterness: "This is my second uncle's cow. I bought it only two years ago, and it was the time to use it. But who knew that in winter, there were no prey for wild animals in the mountains, so they came down the mountain to find food and bit the cow. In this weather, we spent a lot of effort to get it back."
Ye Mingzhu's eyes lit up: "The beef..."
"All the beef has been sold, and only a piece of skin is left. We made a few pairs of shoes from it. Even if we can't make up for the loss, we can at least reduce the loss. Sir, such good leather boots are only 3 taels of silver, not expensive at all." The expression on the vendor's face was very sincere, as if it was true, but he was not soft-hearted when talking about the price.
Ye Mingzhu remembered that when they had just gotten married, she bought a pair of leather boots for Jiang Hongyu, spending two taels of silver. Even though prices in the capital city were high, the price the vendor charged was too expensive.
"These leather boots look good, but the price seems a bit expensive." Ye Mingzhu really wanted to buy them, but she didn't want to be taken advantage of.
"This pair of leather boots is the best I have. If you think it's expensive, I have other ones, including sheepskin ones." The vendor was afraid that Ye Mingzhu would run away, so he took out a few more pairs of shoes and asked her to choose.
Ye Mingzhu raised the corners of her mouth. She didn't expect that there were so many leather boots in such a small stall. When she was in town, she had to make reservations in advance if she wanted to buy leather boots.
Unfortunately, among the several pairs of leather boots, only two were the size that Jiang Hongyu wore. There was also a pair of women's boots that fit her perfectly. She wanted to buy a pair for Ye Yunan and Lu Dou, but the size was not right.
The vendor saw her pick out three pairs of shoes and smiled broadly, "Sir, I still have a lot of cotton shoes here, which are perfect for you now. These single shoes can be worn in a few days."
With this sales routine and this service attitude, if this happened in the county town, she would definitely poach this person to work in her own shop.
Finally, under the repeated recommendations of the peddler, she bought three pairs of leather boots and two pairs of cotton shoes, spending a total of ten taels of silver. The peddler also gave her a pair of insoles.
"Sir, I always have leather boots here. Come back if you need them." The vendor looked at her leaving with an expression as if he was looking at a gold ingot.
Ye Mingzhu smiled and waved her hand, asking Chun Xing to take the shoes back.
At the entrance of Hongyan Building, the dishes they ordered were already placed in lunch boxes. Jiang Yue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her return: "What did you buy?"
Ye Mingzhu took out the shoes she bought and showed them to her: "I saw there was a leather boots store over there, so I went to take a look. I didn't expect them to be cowhide boots. Cowhide boots are comfortable to wear, but they are rare."
Jiang Yue could tell at a glance that the small-sized leather boots belonged to Ye Mingzhu, and the other two pairs were probably from Ye Mingzhu's husband.
She smiled slightly, took Ye Mingzhu's leather boots and looked at them, a little surprised: "These boots are well made, as if they were made by an experienced craftsman, and are not worse than the leather boots in Dapuzi."
Ye Mingzhu looked regretful: "There are only three pairs left. I want to buy a few more."
Jiang Yue didn't care: "If you still want to buy, I know a shop that specializes in leather boots. I'll take you there tomorrow."
Ye Mingzhu did not nod immediately: "Aunt, you just got married, why don't you tell me where it is and let Chun Xing take me there."
"What are you talking about? I'm resting at home. I'm worried about letting you go out by yourself." Jiang Yue patted her hands: "I have nothing to do at home, so I can go out for a walk with you."
Ye Mingzhu really wanted to buy leather boots for Ye Yunan and Ludou, so she nodded.
Jiang Yue then revealed a satisfied smile: "Mingzhu, your uncle only has you as his niece. We are blood relatives, so you don't have to be polite to me."
Ye Mingzhu believed that what she said was true, but she couldn't take it seriously, lest she lose her composure one day and affect her relationship.
The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Yue accompanied Ye Mingzhu to a large shop specializing in selling leather boots.
The leather boots inside were of various sizes and materials. They all looked very good and were very well priced. They were twice as much as the leather boots she bought yesterday, and the quality seemed not as good as the ones she bought.
Jiang Yue wanted to buy a few more pairs, but was rejected by Ye Mingzhu. She only wanted to buy one pair for Ye Yunan and Lu Dou today. She only wore these small leather boots when she went out. She usually wore cotton shoes at home, which were comfortable and warm.
She actually wanted to buy a pair for Wang Dahu, but Jiang Yue had already picked out a pair, so she didn't choose again.
When it came time to pay the bill, Jiang Yue paid first and said that Ye Mingzhu was the junior and it didn't make sense for two of them to come out and let the junior pay.
Ye Mingzhu couldn't argue with her, so she could only accept the two pairs of shoes with a smile.
Jiang Yue bought her a lot of food and asked her to take it back when she went back tomorrow.
Ye Mingzhu originally wanted to go see Jian Pingping, but she didn't have enough time, so she could only leave a letter for Jian Pingping and asked Jiang Yue to give it to her.
"Pingping is under my care, don't worry." Jiang Yue asked Qiuguo to keep the letter and bring it to the shop in two days.
"Aunt, if there is any progress in Pingping's matter, please remember to write to tell me." Ye Mingzhu had read half of the gossip today and still wanted to know the follow-up.
"I'll write to tell you when the time comes. I guess Lord Murong will get his wish in the end." Jiang Yue said mysteriously.
Since she and Jian Pingping opened the shop together, the Zheng family has only come once, and that was when someone was causing trouble. It seemed that the other party did not want to recognize this daughter-in-law. As long as Lord Murong used some tricks, it would not be difficult to win the beauty back.
After talking about Jian Pingping, Jiang Yue took out all the things she had prepared for Ye Mingzhu and her two siblings, including food, daily necessities, and toys, filling two large boxes.
She also opened the box and let Ye Mingzhu check what was inside, and asked her to write to her if she needed anything in the future.
Ye Mingzhu thought that when she returned, she must prepare some things and send them to Jiang Yue.
Fortunately, Ajiu went with them this time, otherwise it would be unsafe to carry so many things.
The next day, Ajiu came very early and brought two people to help them move things.
Ye Mingzhu politely invited Ajiu to have breakfast with her. Ajiu wanted to refuse, but Ye Mingzhu had already brought out the buns that had been prepared in the kitchen early in the morning. The steaming buns exuded fragrance, and he couldn't help but eat one.
When he was eating the second one, Green Bean came up to him, looked at him awkwardly, and whispered, "My cousin asked you to come and see us off. Is it to please my sister?"
Ajiu had a mouthful of bun stuck in his throat and almost choked to death.
