A time-travel story of a peasant girl getting rich
Chapter 85 Going to the City to Buy New Clothes
"In a moment. The Guan family has already prepared the porridge for the gift, and put it in a clay pot. You can take it to the village in a moment."
"Ai."
According to the local custom, people can give home-made Laba porridge to each other among their close relatives and friends.
The village is close, and it's quick to go back and forth by mule cart. Looking at the Laba porridge that Lin Dashan brought back, Lin Xiaomi had no interest at all. It was not the same as hers at home. Not only was the material not good, but the porridge was not thick either, which made people lose their appetite.
"Mom, I love the food you cook!"
Wang was delighted by her daughter's rare coquettish behavior. "Then let's eat our own food. As for Guan's food, you can divide it among yourselves."
What she cooked was enough for three people, so there was no need to settle for someone else's.
Lin Dashan took some time to go to the city and exchanged Laba porridge with Manager Xu.
After Laba, it is Chinese New Year. After Laba, the atmosphere of Chinese New Year in the city becomes more intense.
Even poor families would buy some New Year's goods before the New Year so that the whole family could have a good New Year. The business of rice flower cakes and oil cakes was very good, and the village and the Han family increased the quantity again and again. The servants worked overtime to make these two foods, and the fragrance of cakes filled the manor every day.
Break the old and establish the new, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and look forward to a better year!
Guan Zhuangtou had to deliver the goods every day, and he knew that the prices of various meats had increased a lot recently. He went back and told Lin Dashan about it. They had a lot of livestock in their farm now, and they could make a lot more money by selling them at the end of the year.
Lin Dashan, who was tired of poverty, naturally had no objection. Guan Zhuangtou contacted the butcher who was responsible for receiving the meat and brought his people to the farm. There were 20 pigs, 10 sheep, 50 chickens and ducks, and 20 geese. He also kept half of them to sell later. The closer it got to the end of the year, the more expensive meat became.
The butchers from the city came very quickly and we didn’t have to clean up the meat. They just took it away and paid for it.
Lin Dashan carried the heavy silver and said to Xiaomi cheerfully, "Tomorrow Dad will take you to buy new clothes for the New Year."
"Thank you dad!"
Xiaomi was naturally very happy to have new clothes to wear, and nodded in agreement.
"Her mother, don't go. You are in poor health. Xiaomi has good taste. Let her help you choose new clothes."
If she doesn’t want to go, then don’t go. She doesn’t really like shopping.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, the city is indeed much more lively.
The streets were bustling with people. In the teahouse, the storyteller shouted out his latest jokes and told interesting stories. The vendors sold their fresh goods. The pastry shops attracted children. The jewelry and rouge shops were crowded with young girls and women.
"It's so lively!" Xiaomi exclaimed. It's even more lively than a market. It's just after Laba Festival, and the atmosphere of the New Year in ancient times was indeed very strong.
"Well, isn't the New Year coming soon? It's the winter season again, and everyone is idle. It will be even more lively when the New Year approaches."
When they stepped into the garment shop, the shopkeeper came forward to greet them with a smile as soon as he saw them. Here comes the big customer!!!
"Here comes the little girl~ Come on, come here, there are a lot of new styles in the shop recently, take a good look and see if you like any of them!"
Xiaomi fell in love with a rose-red cotton coat with a rabbit fur collar at first sight, paired with a hibiscus, auspicious cloud and a hundred flowers pleated jacket and skirt, it was so beautiful!
"Dad, I want this set!"
"Okay, just buy it."
This……
The shopkeeper hesitated, this dress seemed a little too big for the little girl in front of him. The little girl was indeed too petite.
"Shopkeeper, can you let me try this set?"
"Miss, this one is too big for you. If you like it, I'll have it altered. Can you come pick it up later?"
"to make."
Money can’t buy what you love, she likes this dress, it’s festive to wear it during the New Year, so let’s change it!
A purple-red satin double-breasted cotton jacket, with white wool trimmings at the collar and cuffs, warm and beautiful. The wool is soft, fine, and spotlessly white. The skirt of the same color is outlined with silver thread at the edges, and the skirt is embroidered with a picture of plum blossoms blooming in the snow, which is both warm and noble. I imagined how her mother would look wearing it.
"Dad, buy this for Mom. She will look great in it during the New Year!"
Lin Dashan was also very satisfied with this dress. The clothes chosen by his daughter are so beautiful!
"Boss, please make this set bigger. My mother is pregnant."
"Congratulations. I wonder how many months pregnant your mother is?"
She had seen Wang before and knew her stature.
"About two months, and probably more than three months during the Chinese New Year."
The shopkeeper understood. She was also a woman, so she naturally knew how much increase was appropriate after three months.
"You can come and get it tomorrow."
There's no rush to wear it, so it's definitely fine.
Xiaomi also picked out two fox fur scarves, which looked warm and would be perfect for going out to pay New Year's greetings. Two pairs of cotton boots and two pairs of embroidered cotton shoes.
Her father's clothes were easy to buy, either black or navy blue. Xiaomi helped pick out a set, took the new clothes, and left. If there were other things that needed alterations, she could just ask the driver to pick them up tomorrow.
"go home!"
"I'm just taking a walk!" It's rare to get out and it's so lively here, why would I go home so early?
"Are there any other things you want to buy?" Lin Dashan asked. How could a rough man like him know what shopping was all about? Why not go home after buying what he needed?
Lin Xiaomi took her father along as they strolled around and bought things: fried melon seeds, sugar melons, fried peanuts, candied haws, mung bean cakes, chestnut cakes, preserved fruits, sugar figurines, jujube paste cakes, dolls...
Even when Lin Dashan's hands were full, she still felt unsatisfied.
"Go back, your mother is still at home!" Lin Dashan urged, fearing that his wife would be waiting anxiously at home.
OK, let's come again before the New Year to buy New Year's goods. When she gets home, she will try which ones are delicious and buy more for the New Year.
"Dad, let's stop by the bookstore and buy some books and paper."
The books at home were all worn out and needed to be replenished. She also wanted to see what the ancient storybooks were like. She had a lot of stories in her mind.
When they got home, Wang looked at the servants carrying down nearly half a car of things and opened her mouth. Judging from the way her daughter was shopping, she must have felt very uncomfortable in the old house in the past few years! ! ??
"Mom, take a look at the new clothes I picked for you. See if they look good on you!"
Wow, this embroidery is so beautiful! Wang touched the soft wool and said, "I like it. Xiaomi has a very good taste!"
"Da Ya, San Ya, come and share the gifts. I brought you a lot of food!"
"Thank you, miss!"
