Spring scenery in the fields

"Boss, I want to get more goods. Can you deliver them once a month? My home is far away and I don't have a donkey cart. It's troublesome to run back and forth."

"Okay, but if you take too much, you have to deposit money here, and you must come to deliver the goods after a month."

"No problem." Ji Wenhe counted out ten copper coins and placed them in front of her. "Boss, if you play fast, how many can you play in a month?"

The boss thought for a moment and replied, "A few hundred. You have to get up early in the morning and work until the evening. You don't have to do housework."

She turned around and went to the back, and soon came out with a few bundles of thread: "Girl, I'll get you six bundles of thread, enough to make 162."

"See if you can finish it after you take it back. It's okay to finish it two days later. If you can finish it, you will have an idea next time you come. You can take more or less."

Ji Wenhe nodded gratefully: "Thank you, boss."

After putting the thread into the basket, he immediately asked, "Boss, which shop on the street sells the cheapest cloth?"

"Qingyu Cloth Shop, go out and turn right, pass five shops, their cloth is the cheapest in town."

"Okay, Boss, I'll go to the cloth shop and come back later."

It would probably take Shen Rongshan and the others a while, so she would be back after buying the cloth.

Ji Wenhe put the basket on the counter: "Boss, I'll leave it here for you first. I'll come get it later, okay?"

The boss smiled and nodded: "Okay, go ahead and come get it later."

He walked to the door and came back: "Boss, is there a pharmacy on this street? I want to feel my pulse."

"Yes, it's in front of the cloth shop. Go forward and you will find the Bai'antang Medical Hall."

"Thank you boss."

After thanking him, he went straight to the Qingyu Cloth Shop.

Qingyu Cloth Shop is bigger than Jinxiufang, and the various colored fabrics on the table are dazzling to look at.

The shop assistant looked her up and down and walked up to her enthusiastically: "Girl, what kind of material do you want to buy?"

"Coarse cloth, a darker color, and white cloth."

When doing farm work at home, I wear dark clothes so it is not easy to see if they get dirty.

The shop assistant took out three pieces of cloth, navy blue, light brown and dark blue, all suitable for farmers to wear when working.

"Girl, look at this color. It's the most popular color in our shop."

Ji Wenhe raised his hand and touched the cloth: "This is linen."

"Yes, burlap, and linen."

Then he took out a piece of fine linen cloth, which indeed felt more comfortable than the coarse linen.

"How many clothes can be made from one piece of cloth?"

"It depends on the style you make. You can make at least ten pieces. The more complicated the style, the more materials you use, so naturally the number of finished garments you can make will be less."

She nodded and said, "What's the price of coarse linen and fine linen, one piece?"

"A piece of coarse linen costs 150 wen, and a piece of fine linen costs 180 wen. If a girl wants to wear it when doing farm work, she should buy coarse linen, which is strong and not easy to be torn."

"To be honest, young lady, most people who come to our store buy coarse linen, which is not very particular for outer wear or farm work. If you want to make underwear, then buy fine linen, but it depends on you, young lady."

Ji Wenhe touched the cloth and thought that he didn't bring enough money with him. He would have to see a doctor soon and he didn't know how much the medicine would cost.

"I want to buy a few different colors. There are many people in my family, and we can't all wear the same color."

The shop assistant understood and said with a smile: "Of course, I'll buy you different colors, enough for you to make a dress."

He has been selling cloth for many years and can tell at a glance how much cloth is needed for a piece of clothing. The styles of farmers' clothes are basically the same, but their body sizes are different.

"Take a little more of each piece of cloth so that you don't run out of material. More is always better than less."

"Okay." Ji Wenhe looked at the other colors, "cyan, dark blue, lake blue."

She had four dresses of her own, and Aunt Lan gave her three, in lotus color, dark brown, light blue, and crimson purple.

My skin is a little dark now, but my body is very white. If I take good care of myself, I can get my whiteness back.

Red is too flashy, and bright colors like light yellow, light pink, etc. will make her look even darker.

After a moment of hesitation, he chose purple: "Is this purple?"

The shop assistant looked up and said, "Lilac, not as dark as crimson purple."

She was wearing crimson purple today. Lilac purple was brighter, so she bought it and made it so she could wear it when Bai came back.

The clothes worn by the three brothers Shen Rongshan had too many patches. When going out to do business, she thought that they should not dress too sloppily, lest they appear unclean.

I might as well make two sets for each of them so they can alternate between them.

Pointing to the other three colors, he said, "I'll tear off all of these four colors and count them as one piece of cloth. I want to tear off smaller pieces of cloth for the rest."

The shop assistant smiled and responded: "Girl, choose the color and I'll cut it for you later."

She chose linen for her underwear, as she didn't bring enough money with her and was afraid it wouldn't be enough later.

They had some spare underwear, so each of them made another pair and she made two.

You also need to make two large cloth bags to hold rice and flour.

She chose a few colors of the remaining cloth, tore it into small pieces, and used them to make puppets.

The shop assistant folded the cloth neatly and said, "Here it is, young lady. It's one hundred and fifty coins in total."

Ji Wenhe took out his purse, counted out the copper coins and handed them to him: "Can you put it here first? I'll come get it later."

"Okay, girl, don't forget it."

"Okay, thank you."

Wait until she finishes taking your pulse, then come back to get it.

According to what the owner of Jinxiufang said, after leaving the cloth shop, keep walking forward and you will soon see Baiantang Pharmacy.

Before I got close, I could smell a strong smell of medicine.

After entering the shop, there is a counter on the right where medicine is dispensed, and on the left is a place for taking pulses and asking questions. There is also a backyard where it seems that medicine can be boiled.

"Miss, do you want to get some medicine or a medical consultation?" The pharmacist came out from the counter.

"Consultation." Ji Wenhe replied.

"Then please wait for a moment, young lady. There are two people in front of you. Please sit over there for a while. When the person in front of you comes out, you can go in."

There are chairs on the side where you can sit, and you have to line up consciously. There is a small room near the backyard, which is blocked by a curtain.

"Okay, thank you."

The medicine boy smiled and shook his head: "You're welcome, young lady." Then he turned around and went back to work.

Ji Wenhe sat next to the two people, feeling a little nervous.

It’s nice not to have my period, but I’m afraid something might happen to my body.

She is so young and doesn't want her health to break down and she doesn't want to die early because she hasn't lived enough.

Looking around the medicine shop, it was very different from the Chinese medicine shop I had seen in my previous life. Several pharmacists were busy there.

There seemed to be something else going on in the backyard, and she was a little curious, but it was not easy for her to go over and check it out.

After waiting for a while, she got up and walked to the door after the person in front of her came out: "Doctor, can I come in?"

"Enter."

When the curtain was drawn aside, a man in his fifties was sitting inside with a gentle face and a smile. He motioned for her to sit opposite him.

"Girl, please stretch out your right hand."

Ji Wenhe stretched out his right hand for him to feel his pulse, then stretched out his left hand and asked nervously, "Doctor, is my condition serious?"
