Yan Ersheng drove the donkey cart, with Yan Shu and Liu Wen's mother and son sitting in the cart. The three brothers of the Yan family, Jiang Ci, Qi Tianyi, and Qi Tianyuan followed behind the donkey cart. The group slowly went down the mountain road.
Today, many villagers from the same village also went down the mountain to buy things, and met many acquaintances along the way.
The heavy snow had completely stopped, and the entire way down the mountain was covered with thick snow, making the road not easy to walk.
The car swayed for two hours and finally arrived at the town at the foot of the mountain near noon.
This town is called Taiping Town. Due to a mudslide on the mountain, thousands of villagers from Banpo Village moved to the town. The government allocated public funds to expand the houses, so Taiping Town now has a permanent population of tens of thousands, which is considered It is one of the largest towns in Peixian County.
The New Year is approaching, and villagers from several nearby villages have come to the town to buy New Year goods. A major commercial street is very busy with people coming and going.
There are many vendors writing Spring Festival couplets, painting New Year paintings, and selling New Year goods on the streets.
Qi Tianyi found a blacksmith shop. He walked up to Yan Shu and Jiang Ci and said, "Miss Yan, Mr. Jiang, my eldest brother and I are going to the blacksmith shop to buy a saw. You go to the front and stroll around first."
Yan Shu said: "Okay, let's go back together in the evening. Whoever buys the good stuff first will wait at the city gate."
Qi Tianyi immediately nodded in agreement, and then took Qi Tianyuan to the blacksmith shop.
Yan Ersheng asked people nearby where furniture was sold, and the family went straight to the furniture shop.
The shopkeeper in the shop saw a group of people entering the door, and saw that the whole family was neatly dressed, especially Jiang Ci's silver fox cloak, which was not something ordinary people could wear.
After a quick look, the shopkeeper immediately came forward with a smile on his face.
"What do you want to buy?"
Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang and the three brothers of the Yan family all turned their attention to Yan Shu.
"My dear daughter, come and choose. Buy whichever one you like."
Yan Shu glanced at the shop and said, "Let's take a look together. Each of you can choose what you need."
According to Yan Shu's idea, all the furniture at home needs to be added, but his parents are used to being frugal, and they are reluctant to throw away some of the furniture that is still usable at home. Moreover, buying too much at once will arouse the jealousy of the villagers, so it is better to prepare a few items first. Just need it urgently.
The shopkeeper's eyes flickered and his target was instantly fixed on Yan Shu.
He could see that this little girl was the backbone of the family.
"Girl, let's take a look at the set of dowry and clothes box that our carpenter master has just created, as well as the matching bed, table and chairs of the same color. It will be much cheaper if you can buy it as a set."
"Then please trouble the shopkeeper to take us to have a look."
"This way, please."
The shopkeeper took a group of people to the backyard, where several carpenters were polishing newly made furniture. The shopkeeper led a few people to one of the houses, opened the door, and found a dazzling array of furniture inside.
He pointed at one set and said: "This set is made by the most skilled craftsmen here. Not only does it use the best wood, but it also strives for excellence in production. It will ensure that it will last for decades without any problem."
Yan Shu fell in love with the set of furniture introduced by the shopkeeper at a glance. Yan Wen stepped forward to inspect it carefully and whispered to Yan Shu: "Little sister, the workmanship of this set of furniture is good, but I can also make it. We only need to buy what we need urgently, and other things that are not urgently needed can wait for a few days and I will do it myself."
Yan Wen's carpentry work is very detailed. Just give him a sketch and he can make it perfectly.
Calculated in this way, it does save money, but it is too expensive.
Yan Ersheng also stepped forward and said: "Daughter, listen to your elder brother, let's just buy two things that we need urgently."
Liu Wenniang also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the whole family insisted, after some discussion, Yan Shu chose three sets of clothing compartments, two sets of dowry boxes, an Eight Immortals table and matching chairs.
A set of cabinets for dishes and chopsticks was added to the kitchen.
All this cost a total of more than ten taels of silver. To the shopkeeper, this was a big customer. Yan Shu offered to deliver it to his home, and the shopkeeper agreed.
After the family bought furniture, they also bought tiles, window paper, two large bags of charcoal, and red paper with couplets and the Chinese character "福" written on them.
Then he bought some New Year food, such as red dates, black dates, malt candies, peanuts, etc., which are all children's favorites. Yan Shu thought that there were more children in their alley, and they weighed each item for twenty catty.
Jiang Ci has been following Yan Shu all the way, and he will pay for any gadget she likes.
The two of them walked around and bought red lanterns, colored paper, New Year pictures, candied haws, candied chestnuts, and various pastries from the pastry shop.
This is the first time Yan Shu has celebrated the New Year in ancient times. It is very different from the lack of New Year flavor in the 22nd century. She is curious about everything and wants to buy and experience everything she sees that she has not tried.
Jiang Ci also really dotes on her. As long as she takes a second look at something, he will come up to ask the price and pay the money without waiting for Yan Shu to refuse.
Yan Wu glanced at Jiang Ci, covered his mouth and said to Yan Wen and Yan Huai beside him.
"I can see that Erlang is henpecked."
Yan Wen suppressed a smile and nodded, while Yan Huai looked thoughtfully at the pair walking in front.
Seeing that there was almost no space left in the donkey cart, Liu Wenniang gave her daughter a hand.
"Daughter, you have bought a lot along the way, and Erlang is the one paying for it. It makes my mother feel bad to see it."
Jiang Ci smiled and said, "Second Aunt doesn't need to stop me. These gadgets don't cost a few taels of silver in total. As long as Ah Shu likes them, that's fine."
Liu Wenniang persuaded her earnestly: "This is not how we live our lives. Although you two young people are capable, you still have to spend money carefully to last."
What she was thinking was that since Jiang Ci's parents and eldest brother were gone, it would not be easy for him to make some money. At the moment, his daughter was just his sister-in-law, so it was unreasonable to spend his money like this.
Yan Shu nodded obediently and said, "What mother said is that from now on we must budget carefully. This is not just to buy more during the Chinese New Year."
Yan Ersheng hurriedly helped his daughter speak.
"Okay, okay, our daughter is usually very frugal. We still have to buy what we should buy during the Chinese New Year. My daughter, dad has money. If you want to buy anything else, we will buy it now."
Yan Wu followed closely and said: "Little sister, the second brother also has money in his hand. You can use the second brother's money later."
"Third brother also has some. Little sister can buy whatever she wants."
Seeing that the whole family was facing her daughter, Liu Wenniang shook her head.
"You guys all keep your money for your own use. You should use the money I brought to buy things at home."
Yan Ersheng chuckled and nodded quickly: "Yes, your mother is the head of the family, so she should spend her money."
