Chapter 015 Buying New Year's Goods

???? It was decided to buy New Year's goods. Old Xiao Xiao was afraid that the road would not be smooth, so he contacted several families and went to buy New Year's goods together.

???? This place is located in the northeast border. In addition to the foreigners watching, there are also many bearded bandits lingering, and some rogues come out to rob houses during the Chinese New Year.

???? I gathered five families to go together. There are more people and it is safer, and these five families are all relatives and neighbors.

???? Old Uncle Xiao's two younger brothers' homes, as well as the Qiao's next door, and Xu's boss Xu.

???? They were all driving a carriage. Uncle Xiao drove two carriages, one for himself and one for Tie Qing.

????Other people also go to two people, not because they are afraid of fatigue driving, but because two people are more reliable. Is there a lot of people? A dozen people haunting together can always make people feel more at ease.

???? The six large carriages walked together, there was a lot of movement, but it was approaching the end of the new year, and many people also wanted to go shopping for the new year. Brother Bin was very envious that Brother Xiao could go to the county town and make his own Some gadgets were also entrusted to Brother Xiao to take them to the county town to sell, and then buy some candied haws for himself.

???? "Okay, I'll buy two skewers too. I buy so many, the candied haws seller won't wrap two around me?" Brother Xiao thought it was wonderful.

???? "Go, I will burn the kang for you, so that when you come back, the room will be hot!" Brother Bin likes sweets very much, but the sweets are a bit expensive.

The next day, a group of people met at the entrance of the village. Everyone was in a carriage, except Mrs. Xiao, who had two carriages and brought his wife and brother.

???? "Big brother." The two brothers each brought their own sons, but unexpectedly his eldest brother brought the whole family!

???? "Well, let's go!" Uncle Xiao was pulling his wife and brother in the car, so a layer of straw was spread on the car board, and a broken quilt was spread on top. He took two of his own wolf fur mattresses and wrapped them up with Aunt Xiao and Brother Xiao!

????He also wore a dog fur hat on his head, the kind of Lei Feng hat made of iron blue, which could keep out the wind and snow without freezing his ears.

???? The carriage traveled all the way for a whole morning, and arrived at the county seat at noon. First, I found an inn. Everyone, big or small, could accept it. Moreover, there were so many of them, they booked a Datong shop, but it was ashen. One suite and one single room.

???? The suite is for Lao Xiao's family, and he sleeps in a single room by himself.

???? The Datong shop is just right to accommodate other people.

???? After settling down, it was impossible to drive the carriage, so in the afternoon, they went for a walk first, and bought very few things. Old Aunt Xiao took Brother Xiao and went to put the things he made first. , Take it to the embroidery shop and sell it, and the money you get is their private money.

???? But next to the embroidery shop is a cloth shop. After selling the embroidery and zippers, Aunt Xiao bought two bolts of fine cotton cloth, planning to make new clothes for the new year. New, but at least buy some cloth in a fresh color.

????Winter fabrics are thick and true, but don’t pursue freshness in color. Generally, they are black, gray or dark green or vermilion.

???? Big red ones are also available, but they are more expensive.

???? There are also silk brocades, which are even more expensive!

???? Old Aunt Xiao only bought two black cotton cloths, and didn’t buy anything else. They had them all at home, and the two cotton cloths that Boy Qing gave were enough.

????Xiao Geer was greedy when he saw good fabrics, but he had no money and couldn’t afford them, so he only picked a few feet (that is, the torn fabrics, not the ones in pieces, can also be called fabrics. Rag head), used to sew some purses, embroider a sachet or something, it is still possible, this kind of ruler is very popular with some brothers.

???? Tie Qing noticed that Xiaogeer took a few glances at a lotus-colored ruler inside, it was a lotus-colored satin, leftover from cutting, it seems that Xiaogeer likes it very much.

???? But the price of lotus-colored satin is quite high, five taels of silver, and there are only a few pieces in the whole cloth shop. It is estimated that in this small county in the north, few families can afford it.

????Although the old Xiao family is considered rich, it depends on who they compare with.

????A piece of satin worth ten taels of silver, Brother Xiao would never be able to afford it, nor would he dare to buy it.

???? But Tie Qing can afford it, there is a lot of gold in his green wood space!

???? The money he earned is also quite a lot. He can feed the whole family by himself.

????But he didn't buy it on the spot, but followed him as a bag boy.

???? I think back in the days before the end of the world, he and his elder brother went shopping with his mother. At that time, both of them and their father were bag carriers beside their mother.

???? It's the same this time, acting as a bag-carrying boy.

????Old Aunt Xiao has a very planned shopping plan. All she bought this afternoon was cloth, red paper, yellow paper, and a little dried fruit candy.

???? These things won't break if left alone.

???? And what Old Aunt Xiao bought included the one for Tie Qing.

???? "Chinese New Year, even if you are alone in the village, you have to look good, burn a piece of paper for your parents, and paste big red blessings and couplets on the house you live in." These odds and ends, as long as the old Aunt Xiao felt that Tie Qing needed to prepare, so she would buy more.

???? She doesn't ask Tie Qing for money anymore. If you ask for money for such a small thing, you will be out of luck. This winter, their family has asked Qing to work and provide subsidies. Although the subsidies are not money, but various s things.

???? "It's fine for my aunt to make the decision, and I don't know much about these things." Tie Qing is a bachelor, so he can just carry his things and follow along.

???? Brother Xiao pursed his lips in joy, Tieqing squinted his eyes at him, he was even happier, but then he blushed and stopped looking at him.

???? Tie Qing thinks that Xiao Geer is very good, and the blush is also good-looking.

???? There are dried kelp and dried shrimps in the house, and the seafood here is just like this, and Aunt Xiao didn't buy it.

???? But Uncle Xiao bought two jars of wine, a small jar of soy sauce, and a bottle of mature vinegar, which were relatively heavy, and Tie Qing carried them by himself, while Uncle Xiao carried two pieces of cloth.

???? A group of people returned to the inn when it was dark.

The inn provides dinner, everyone wanted to save some money, but Tie Qing said that he invited this meal: "I have been here for so long, and I haven't invited the folks alone. This meal is mine, and I will have breakfast tomorrow Everyone eats their own food, don't compete with me for this meal, I have already ordered it with the store."

???? He is so generous, everyone is not polite to him.

Who knew that there were only three dishes served: a big pot of braised lamb, a big pot of boiled cabbage, and a big pot of radish soup.

????The staple food is the steamed buns with Lianghe noodles.

???? "Eat all, eat all, specially ordered mutton, to resist the cold!" Tie Qing smiled honestly: "I just didn't ask for wine, the wine here is too expensive."

???? "That's not bad!" Old Uncle Xiao glared at him: "In the future, I will spend less money, and the food is so good, what more wine do I want?"

???? "Yes, yes!" Others echoed, but no one moved their chopsticks.

???? It was Uncle Xiao who was the first to pick up the chopsticks and eat the meal, and they started to do it one after another.

????Privately, I feel that Tie Qing is a big boy, and he will definitely be a good guy in the future!

????Old Aunt Xiao picked up two pieces of mutton for Brother Xiao, and Brother Xiao ate deliciously with his head down.
