FH Chapter 41:
不差钱
[Not lacking money’]
Li Haitang, an adult, was educated by a little child, she raised her hand and gave her little brother a popping or quick fry chestnut, “Cheat your cloth?”
Cloth all together, only one or two silver, before going out, she gave Chun Niang silver, but she was rejected by Chun Niang, telling her to count it later.
Those who do business all year round, people are more shrewd, how could Chun Niang not understand the psychology of ordinary people.
Li Haitang looked at people, she only looked at the eyes and temperament, a person with pure eyes, most likely not bad, she was a doctor, she had her own professional sensitivity.
Just approaching Chun Niang, she had a careful look, Chun Niang’s fingernail’s gap was slightly deeper, her whole body exuded the smell of herbs, at one glance, she was the one who boiled medicines for years and years.
“Little brother, it’s right to be cautious, but specific problems should be analyzed concretely, and it’s also necessary to see if we have anything worthwhile for people to cheat.”
Li Haitang took the opportunity to educate her own little brother who is always over concerned but too intelligent will hurt, at a young age, he should be carefree, the rest of all, leave it to her as a sister to handle.
“Sister, I found that you are different from before.”
Li Jin Hu thought for a moment, carefully pondered, her big sister is right, that’s he was hurt by relatives at home, accustomed to think of everything in a bad way.
“That’s right ah.”
Li Haitang’s eyelids jumped, secretly, finally came. She lowered her eyes with a despondent look, “If I don’t make changes, I will be skinned by the Li family, and those who have died once, what else is there to be afraid of?”
Future Niang Zi (wife) pretending to be strong, make Xiao Lingchuan felt very heartbreaking, he will not express himself, recall what those his walking dart brother said before, coaxing a woman with food, busy pointing to the opposite side of the big signboard, “A hundred years old, crystal elbow flower.”
“It’s not good to go to Chun Niang’s house empty-handed, let’s buy something and bring it over.”
Li Haitang immediately made the final decision, she saw many people queuing at the door, followed Xiao Lingchuan to split into two, she took Li Jin Hu and went to the grocery shop across the street, to buy some kitchen utensils needed at home.
Yong Ji grocery shop is the first one in the border city, and the modern self-service supermarket is a little bit similar, inside divided into several areas, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, tea, beverages and wine, fabrics and clothes, as well as daily use of needles and threads (odds and ends needed for sewing; needle and thread—trifles), small furnishings, bedding, sarongs, with everything needed available there.
“This little lady, there is a hand basket in the corner, hold it gently, if you break something, you have to pay for it.”
Before entering, the mate gave each person a wooden card with a number written on it, handing it over when settling the bill.
“Sis, dad hasn’t even come to Yong Ji yet.”
After Li Jin Hu entered, he was dazzled by the items on the shelves, but after taking a closer look at the prices on them, he shook his head again.
People in the village buy soy sauce (in a small quantity with one’s own container) and spend a few wen on it, while there is no bulk within Yong Ji, it is all soy sauce in porcelain bottles, which is at least a few wen more expensive than the regular ones.
“Being able to spend money is the incentive to make money, you don’t have to worry, our family is not poor.”
Li Haitang raised her chest up, women are born to be shopaholics, especially when setting up a new home, with silver in her hand, she has the boldness since she will get married this time in two lifetimes, she doesn’t pay attention to the rehearsal, and she definitely must not condescend to buy things.
The day will be cold soon, the use of gauze curtain or canopy is not appropriate, she chose the thick one, above the tassels studded with aqua blue color, the house looked bright.
Oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar home is not lacking, but she looked at the blue and while celadon wine bottle, in order to get a bottle, she bought a bottle of wine for Xiao LingChuan to drink, leaving the porcelain bottle, you can insert a bouquet of dried flowers, to do a embellishment for their home.
