Chapter 88: Cloth Shop Purchase
At the same time, on the other side of the street, Aunt Lin was strolling happily with Li Yanniang and three other sisters-in-law, smiling happily.
Although the streets were crowded and bustling, they did not show any sign of boredom.
On the contrary, this crowded environment brought them a different kind of pleasure.
However, the brothers Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaotao following behind them looked a little pitiful.
The group first came to the meat stall, and saw Aunt Lin was so generous that she bought a whole pig without hesitation!
You know, there are many people in her family, especially those young boys who are in the growth stage. They have an amazing appetite and are truly big eaters.
Back then, due to the lack of food and silver at home, life was very tight and everyone had to tighten their belts and save on food and drink.
But the situation is different now. The family has both sufficient food and ample money, so Aunt Lin naturally won't live as frugally as she did in the past!
As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for people. You have to eat when you should eat and drink when you should drink. You must take good care of your body to recover the damage it has done before!
After buying the pork, I also bought two old hens and an old rooster. They are good choices whether you want to eat them alone or make soup with them.
After putting all the things they bought into the brothers' baskets, Aunt Lin and her other three friends went to the fabric shop. There were still many people in the family who didn't have new clothes, so they naturally had to buy some fabric.
The four of them left Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaotao waiting outside and squeezed in. Although no one was available to entertain them, Aunt Lin and the others didn't mind and just watched on their own.
A cup of tea passed, and the number of people in the fabric shop became much smaller. Someone noticed Aunt Lin and her group and immediately went to greet them.
"Auntie, sisters-in-law, I wonder what kind of cloth you want? I'm so sorry that there are too many people today and I can't take care of you." The person who came was a woman in her thirties, with a kind face and a smile on her face.
"That's all right. Give us two rolls of pure white cotton cloth! Two rolls of the light blue with patterns, one roll of the light purple, with patterns, and one roll each of the pink and light green. Three rolls of the dark blue, all pure cotton with patterns. For coarse cloth, two rolls each of dark gray, light gray, black, gray-red, and gray-purple. Do you have any cotton? If so, give me fifty pounds."
Aunt Lin finished stating her needs in one breath, which made her very tired. She had already decided what she wanted when she was looking at the fabrics just now. She had many children in her family, so she needed a lot of fabrics.
Aunt Lin thought she was not stingy. Her daughter-in-law was only concerned with making clothes for her husband and children. As a mother-in-law, she must think about her daughter-in-law. It was impossible for her son and grandson to wear decent clothes while her daughter-in-law wore tattered clothes, right?
"Okay, pure cotton cloth with patterns is more expensive. If you want more, I'll give you a discount. I also have cotton.
Please wait a moment, I will get it for you."
When she heard Aunt Lin ask for so much cloth, the woman smiled even more. After she finished speaking, she went to move the goods.
In a quarter of an hour, the woman moved all the cloth that Aunt Lin wanted to the counter and calculated the silver. Just these cloths cost 52 taels and 8 cents of silver.
Aunt Lin handed over the silver with trembling hands. Although there was a smile on her face, her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife. Every coin of silver that went away was like cutting a piece of flesh from her heart.
However, when they thought about Lin Qingxue generously giving them twenty taels of silver each, they felt a little comforted. If it weren't for this timely assistance, they probably wouldn't even be able to buy these cloths today.
This time we bought a lot of cloth, colorful and of various textures, piled together like a small mountain.
Fortunately, the baskets they brought were empty, so they could share some of the weight.
So everyone carefully put the cloth into their own basket. After a while, the basket was filled to the brim and could hold all the cloth.
However, a new problem arose - they had to move these heavy baskets onto the carriage.
After all, no one has the strength to continue shopping while carrying such a heavy basket.
Thinking of this, several people looked at each other, feeling a little worried, but since things had come to this point, they had to find a way to solve it.
After walking out of the fabric shop, they took a deep breath and bravely stepped into the bustling crowd again.
The streets were still crowded with people, and the cries of hawkers could be heard one after another. They struggled to move through the streets, moving step by step towards the city gate, and sweat gradually soaked their foreheads and backs.
But they still gritted their teeth and persevered, because hope lay ahead. As long as they left the city and unloaded the things in the baskets into the carriage, they would feel relieved.
Aunt Lin and her group crossed the crowd and arrived at the city gate. Uncle Lin and Lin Qingming had just parked the carriage. Lin Qingming jumped off the carriage and was about to go into the city to find Lin Qingxue. When he looked up, he saw Aunt Lin and her group.
The father and son stepped forward without saying a word. They first took the baskets from Aunt Lin and Li Yan's backs and placed them on the ground, and then took down the baskets from Fang Furong and Liu Jiali.
The father and son came to the side of the carriage carrying two baskets, carefully took out the cloth from the baskets and placed them in the carriage.
"Mom, do you need to buy anything else? Do you have any money on you?" Lin Qingming put his things away and turned to look at Aunt Lin and asked.
It was really hard for him. Even in such a cold day, he was sweating all over. It was enough to show how heavy the cloth in the basket was.
"We definitely have to buy more. We still have nearly twenty taels of silver on us, which should be enough," Aunt Lin thought for a while and said in a low voice.
Lin Qingming nodded, took out the only ten taels of silver he had left and handed it to Aunt Lin, saying, "I only have ten taels of silver on me. You can use it first. I have to go find Qingxue first."
"Okay, go ahead! Be careful," Aunt Lin didn't bother to be polite with her son and took the silver and put it away.
Lin Qingming nodded at them, took a deep breath, squeezed into the bustling crowd, and walked towards the place where he had agreed to meet with Lin Qingxue.
After the brother and sister came out of the shop, they agreed that Lin Qingming would take the eleven people to find Uncle Lin, while Lin Qingxue went to another shop that sold houses and shops alone. She wanted to buy a house and a shop in the city.
There is no income at home, and all the money spent is the money looted from the bandit’s lair. This spending is okay for a short period of time, but it is definitely not feasible for a long time.
So, Lin Qingxue planned to open a shop and do business to make money.
