Chapter 20 Buying Furniture
Qi Qingxi found the shop selling old furniture according to the address given by shopkeeper Xu.
It's not so much a store, it's more like a warehouse, full of old furniture of all kinds, Qi Qingxi's eyes are dazzled.
The owner of the old furniture store saw someone coming in from behind a pile of furniture: "What do you guys want to buy?"
Qi Qingxi thought about it, they had three rooms and needed three beds, and each room had to have a wardrobe for clothes.
She and Qi Nuan are both girls, and there will be more and more clothes in the future, so they have to choose bigger ones.
I had to choose a bigger dressing table. In the room of the two brothers, I had to choose two desks and bookcases.
There are also tables and chairs for eating in the kitchen. If there are no guests in the living room for the time being, you don’t need to buy them, and we will see the situation later.
She explained her needs to the boss, and the boss recommended many styles to her, such as exquisite carving and precious wood.
She was too poor to have it.
She asked the boss if he had a simpler style, and the wood didn't need to be particularly good, as long as it could be used for three to five years.
At that time, she should have made money. If she has money, she will first change to a big house, and then have a whole house custom-made. It is beautiful to think about.
Qi Qingxi bought two sets of clothes, shoes and socks by herself in Shopkeeper Xu's shop, including her own, and Qi Nuan also added another set so that she could have a replacement.
After shopping for clothes, she went home first, and asked the two brothers to change out the old clothes, shoes and socks before going out.
Originally, the boss boldly recommended the slightly more expensive ones because he saw that the clothes of several people were okay.
He secretly looked at Qi Qingxi a few more times, the girl was only in her teens, and she was accompanied by three children.
"Why didn't the adults come by themselves, but asked a few little dolls to decide?"
Qi Qingxi smiled and said: "There are no adults in the family, I am the oldest one, please take the trouble to introduce us again."
The boss looked a little surprised after hearing this. These children are actually orphans. He sighed silently in his heart, the world is hard.
According to Qi Qingxi's request, he re-selected furniture for her. This time, the boss used twelve distractions, and the furniture he picked out were all cheap and beautiful.
Qi Qingxi checked it carefully, and paid the money only after confirming that there were no missing arms or legs.
Rao chose cheap furniture as much as possible, but it still cost six taels of silver, she felt a little pained.
Fortunately, the boss is kind and promised to deliver the goods to her door for free, saving her a handling fee.
The boss asked her to leave an address and wait at home. She wanted a lot of things, and it would take more than half an hour to move the goods.
Qi Qingxi took advantage of this gap to go to the grocery store to buy pots, pans, pans and other daily necessities.
She also bought some oil and salt seasoning, and the sugar cost a catty before going home.
On the way home, I saw someone selling eggs and bought more than 20 eggs.
It was almost noon when I got home, and the furniture I bought hadn't been delivered yet, so Qi Qingxi planned to make lunch first.
But there was not even a table for cutting vegetables at home, Qi Qingxi had no choice but to open the side door leading to the front shop and borrow the stove first.
She asked Qi Yunming's two brothers to help her carry the vegetable basket, rice noodles, and the food she just bought.
Qi Qingxi was afraid that there would be no one here when the furniture was brought over when she was cooking, so she closed the courtyard door and told Qi Nuan to wait here, and if she heard someone calling outside, she would go to the kitchen over there and call them.
He also told her not to open the door and go out alone. Seeing Qi Nuan nodding, she went back to the kitchen step by step.
Qi Qingxi intends to cook and eat all the piece of meat that he bought yesterday, because it won't be able to keep it for a long time in the hot weather.
She just had flour and bought eggs, and she planned to make fried pork cutlets.
Qi Qingxi cut the pork into several thick slices, and tapped the pork slices with the back of a knife to loosen the fascia for easy marinating, then put the meat in a large bowl, add condiments and mix well to marinate.
While waiting for the marinade, she fried another vegetable with garlic and made an egg and lean meat soup.
The kitchen here is still convenient, with three stoves.
Qi Qingxi asked Qi Yunming to set fire to two of them, and cook while cooking.
The only inconvenience is that I have to find a place to buy a pile of firewood from time to time, which is another expense.
When she came, she brought 100 taels of silver and didn't know how much she had left. She had to buy some pens and paper to settle the accounts after she was busy with today's work.
Qi Qingxi wrapped the marinated pork in a layer of flour, then in a layer of egg batter, then in a layer of flour, then in a layer of egg batter, repeating this twice and then frying it in a frying pan.
The heat should also be well controlled. First, set the pork chops on high heat, and then slowly fry them on low heat. After three to five minutes, they can be out of the pan. After being out of the pan, let the pork chops cool down for a while and then cut into small pieces.
The food was ready, Qi Qingxi called them to eat.
Qi Yunhui was already drooling when he was helping to light the fire and add firewood in the kitchen, and he ran to the dining table to sit down as soon as he heard the shout for dinner.
Seeing his elder brother and Ah Nuan walking slowly behind, he couldn't help urging: "Hurry up, hurry up, you don't eat actively, you have a problem with your thinking."
Qi Qingxi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, where did he learn this.
The children ate hard again, and Qi Qingxi couldn't help wondering whether it was his cooking skills that were so good, or whether they could eat anything so delicious.
"Is anyone home?"
Qi Qingxi had just eaten two mouthfuls of food, when she heard a faint shout from the other side of the yard, she couldn't help but sigh that the sound insulation effect of this wall is really good, but fortunately she didn't close the side door here, otherwise she probably wouldn't have heard someone call the door .
Qi Qingxi put down his chopsticks to open the door, Qi Yunming also stood up, and Qi Qingxi asked him to sit down.
"You continue to eat, I will go."
Sure enough, the purchased furniture was delivered, and two carriages were waiting at the door.
Seeing the people coming out, the coachman said: "The shopkeeper let us move in. You can see where we want to put it for you."
It was only then that Qi Qingxi remembered that he hadn't had time to clean the house yet, forget it, let's move in first, anyway, the furniture also had to be scrubbed.
After another afternoon of busy work, he finally cleaned up the house, and Qi Qingxi had a chance to catch his breath.
She put all the money left on her body on the dressing table, counted it over and over again, and there was less than five taels of silver left, which was not enough to send Shu Xiu, her two brothers, to school, and she had to consider the daily expenses. There is no money to open the shop.
She had to figure out how to make enough money to do business first.
Qi Qingxi suddenly remembered the clothes she was wearing when she came back. She remembered that the original clothes were all made by someone who paid a lot of money. She didn't know how much she could get in exchange for the pawn shop.
She is so poor that there is no other way, I hope Yuanshen can forgive her, and she promises to return these things in the future.
She immediately got up and went to the closet to find out the changed clothes, washed them and put them in the yard to dry.
It's not so much a store, it's more like a warehouse, full of old furniture of all kinds, Qi Qingxi's eyes are dazzled.
