044 Purchase
"Sister, have you entered the deep mountains all these times?" Gu Ningping couldn't care less, and asked bluntly, "Sister, it's too dangerous there, you are not allowed to go there!"
However, how could Gu Xiaowan not go again?
There are a lot of big fat fish in the water pool under the waterfall in the deep mountain. If those big fish are fished, then marinated, dried, dried, and then brought into the mountain to sell. Gu Xiaowan didn't even dare to think about how excited people who are used to eating these dry foods would be, there is another kind of mountain food.
In modern times, every household picks up cured fish and bacon every year, and everyone's love for cured fish and bacon has not changed over the years. Even now, cured fish will be very popular.
"Don't worry, my sister knows a road, and the road is very safe." Gu Xiaowan did find a very safe mountain road, and it is winter now, if there are blind bears, snakes, etc., they are already hibernating. , I won't come out hungry in winter, I'm afraid, I don't know if there are wolves, but I went in twice, and I didn't find any wolf footprints.
"Sister, many people have never come out of the deep mountains." Gu Ningping was about to cry in a hurry, and now he suddenly felt that the seventy taels of silver were actually exchanged by his sister for her life. He can't ask for this kind of money, he just wants his sister.
Gu Xiaowan saw Gu Ningping's excited, aggrieved, and anxious appearance, and knew that he was worried about herself, but there was no way. There were so many people in the family who had to eat and get dressed, and they might get sick. How could they not make money?
And now Gu Xiaowan has found a way to make money, how can it be done without making some money quickly through this way?
"Sister knows what you're worried about, but don't worry, she will never let herself be in trouble. Also, didn't you find out? Sister seems to be smarter than before. Look, she caught a hare, caught a pheasant, and knew that wild The radish can be eaten, and the ginseng has been dug up, and sold for so much money? Do you think my elder sister is still stupid? My elder sister is smart. You can rest assured. Huh?"
"But, ma'am..."
"Okay, don't let it go. Next time, if you're worried, you can accompany your sister up the mountain, okay?" Gu Xiaowan was at a loss for words that the child said, so she could only say this.
"Really? Good!" As if waiting for Gu Xiaowan's words, Gu Ningping immediately smiled.
Seeing Gu Ningping's face turning faster than a book, Gu Xiaowan was really dumbfounded.
The two of them were carrying 522 and 40 cents in their arms. Gu Xiaowan did not expect that the ginseng plant was so valuable, and the clothes that she had planned not to buy were also put on the agenda.
The two first came to the alley just now. Gu Xiaowan wanted to buy rice noodles, but there was no rice noodles at home. Gotta buy some back.
First, I walked into a shop and asked about the price.
"Boss, how do you sell your rice noodles?" Gu Xiaowan asked, seeing that the rice and noodles in the grain store were fine.
"Hey, little girl, if you ask me how to sell it, do you have the money to buy it?" The boss had pointed monkey cheeks, a mustache, shrewd eyes, and sat in the reclining chair without smiling.
It's no wonder that the boss who sells rice and noodles would choke Gu Xiaowan so much, it's really... Gu Xiaowan's clothes are so rotten that she can only avoid her body.
How can a little girl in rags go to have money to buy rice and noodles to eat? The answer is no, this is human nature, and no one wants others to take advantage of them.
Gu Xiaowan didn't take his sarcasm to heart, there was no need to care about such a low-level trader. You can buy it wherever you have the money. If you don't like her, you can buy it elsewhere.
She still didn't believe it, she couldn't buy rice noodles today.
Gu Xiaowan felt very angry and swore that even if others were a little more expensive, she would never enter this store again.
Later, he walked into a shop called "Integrity Grain Shop" opposite. There were no customers in the shop, only a young man was dozing off listlessly.
"Second brother, how much is 30 catties of sorghum noodles, 20 catties of sorghum rice, and 10 catties of white noodles?" Gu Xiaowan walked around the shop, looked left and right, and then said what she wanted. The thing, hearing so much, made the sleepy guy feel as if he had been beaten by chicken blood.
"Five cents per catty for sorghum noodles, thirty catties is one hundred and fifty cents, sorghum rice seven cents a catty, twenty catties is one hundred and forty cents, white flour ten cents a catty, ten catties is one hundred cents Wen, all of them add up to three hundred and ninety pennies." As soon as the guy heard that the customer wanted so many things, his spirit immediately came, and he quickly reported a series of data, no more than one cent.
Gu Xiaowan didn't even pay back the price, she paid the money directly, put the grain in the basket, turned around and left the grain shop.
When the boss on the opposite side saw that Gu Xiaowan had bought so many things, hey, the ruined intestines are all green. Who might be to blame, who told him to look down on people.
Gu Xiaowan seemed to relieve her anger. When she passed by the grain shop opposite, her waist was straight and she walked proudly in front of the boss.
However, as soon as he walked away, Gu Xiaowan went directly into the cloth village and looked at the clothes on her body and Gu Ningping's clothes, it was strange that others didn't think you were a beggar.
Gu Xiaowan took Gu Ningping into another "auspicious cloth house". In the cloth shop, there was only a woman in her fifties who was picking and buying cloth, and the proprietress in her thirties was receiving her.
Gu Xiaowan stood outside the counter, looked up at the colorful fabrics on the counter, sackcloth and linen, and was a little undecided and hesitant.
In modern times, she has never bought cloth, specializing in
The store also sells ready-to-wear, and, in her knowledge, she only knows cotton, linen, chiffon, silk and the like. She really doesn't understand these things very well. Also, she doesn't know the price.
The clothes and shoes of the four children are about to be changed. Gu Xiaowan looked at her and Gu Ningping's shoes, the big toe had already pulled a hole in the shoe, and the big toe was pitifully exposed.
Moreover, the quilt at home is really thin and hard. When I think about it, the cotton is caked, and it is not cold at all. Now the weather is still sunny, and I don't think it is fine, but what if it snows?
