I fell through the tunnel and brought my family to live a good life
Chapter 11 Buying Clothes
After eating noodles, Xu's mother wanted to go to the cloth shop. Li Dahua tried to stop her, saying that they had already spent a lot of money today and they should go home quickly. But Xu's mother refused. Old man Xu listened to his wife and asked his son to drive the ox cart towards the cloth shop.
The family came to Qianji Cloth Shop, which was the largest cloth shop in Qicheng. It not only looked good, but also had expensive cloth suitable for dignitaries, as well as coarse linen suitable for farmers to work with. Therefore, many people were willing to buy cloth at Qianji Cloth Shop.
Xu's mother bought a piece of light green and a piece of pink cloth for Xu Congyi; two pieces of blue cloth for Xu Congwen and Xu Cong'an; a piece of dark blue cloth for Xu the hunter; a piece of light red cloth for Li Dahua; a piece of dark gray cloth for Old Man Xu; and a piece of dark red cloth for herself; finally, she bought several pieces of cotton cloth to make underwear, spending a total of one or two taels of silver.
Xu Congyi carefully discovered that most of the people who came to buy cloth were from common people like them, wearing the most ordinary cloth, and he did not see any rich people coming to buy cloth.
The person who settled the bill was the owner of Qianji Cloth Shop. He couldn't sit still and was always in the shop. The cashier fell ill a few days ago, so he didn't find a temporary one and just took over himself.
When paying the bill, Xu Congyi asked casually why he didn't see any wealthy people in the city coming to buy cloth. Hearing this, Boss Qian replied with a smile that although he had many varieties and patterns of cloth, the rich were used to buying ready-made clothes directly from clothing stores, and not many people bought cloth and made them themselves at home.
"Are there many ready-made clothing stores in the city?" Xu Congyi couldn't help but ask another question.
"Not many. There are only two clothing stores in the city. One is also owned by me, Qianji, and the other is Chenji Clothing Store. However, Chenji's business is better. His family specializes in clothing business and puts in more effort, so the business is better."
Boss Qian answered Xu Congyi with a smile, the four words "harmony brings wealth" are indeed very suitable for Boss Qian.
Hunter Xu felt pained to see his mother spending so much money and didn't understand why she bought so much cloth at once. But Old Man Xu knew what his wife meant. The family had been wearing the same clothes for several years and now they finally had some money, so they could make some new clothes for the family so that they could look decent when going out.
Xu's mother kept the idea of "since I'm already here", and finally bought a bunch of things when she got home.
Li Dahua sat on the ox cart and counted on his hands, "Thirty cents to rent the ox cart, five cents to park the ox cart, one cent to buy incense, one ounce of silver to donate for incense, seventy cents for noodles, one ounce of silver to buy cloth, and finally two cents of silver to buy some miscellaneous items. One hundred cents is one cent, ten cents is one ounce..." Li Dahua calculated for a long time but still couldn't figure out how much money he had spent that day.
Xu Congyi, who was sitting next to Li Dahahua, interrupted and said, "The total cost was two taels, four cents and five coins."
Then Xu Congwen nodded and agreed, "Yi Yi's calculation is correct."
"Girl, how do you calculate so fast?" Li Dahua asked puzzledly. Logically speaking, Xu Congyi had never been to school and had been stupid for so many years, so it was good enough for him to recognize money. Now he could calculate money quickly and accurately.
Oops! Xu Congyi had forgotten about this. Just now, Li Dahua was just saying it casually, forgetting that the original owner was not supposed to know this.
"Hey mom, who made me so smart!" Xu Congyi licked his lips, "Is there any water, mom? I'm so thirsty."
"Yes, yes, mom will get it for you," Li Dahua turned around to get the water bag.
Xu Congyi breathed a sigh of relief. At least she had gotten away with it. But she really needed to think about how to tell the Xu family. After all, she studied medicine in the modern era. Although she later went to work at a pharmaceutical company, she was still able to diagnose and treat common diseases with ease. Moreover, her cooking skills were not bad. Most importantly, she also wanted to do business. There had to be a reason that her family could accept.
After arriving home, Xu Congyi took the initiative to say that she wanted to sleep for a while. She got up too early in the morning and her eyelids were already fighting each other. Seeing this, Old Man Xu quickly let his granddaughter take a nap and told the rest of the Xu family as well. They could rest more since there was nothing to do in the afternoon and they could just have the vegetarian buns bought from the city for dinner and they didn’t have to worry about making dinner.
