Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 202

With such cheap sackcloth, even Boya and others who don't wear sackcloth are tempted, not to mention the followers who came with them.

In the houses of these young masters, the attendants are also divided into grades, the lowest ones are the servants who do chores, the grooms, etc., and the middle ones are the personal servants who serve the masters in various courtyards.

Butlers, book boys, etc. belong to the highest level of existence among servants.

These people can either exercise power on behalf of the masters, or they are cronies around the masters, and they can directly talk to the masters.

But for stewards and schoolboys, it is not so easy to get a complete sackcloth.

Sometimes there is a happy event in the host's family, and in order to keep up appearances, they will send a full set of clothes to the stewards and cronies who follow them.

But this complete set of clothes is mostly worn out by the host's family. Although it is much better than the patched sackcloth of other servants, it is not new, and it does not fit well, and often has to be altered before it can be worn. .

Therefore, when they saw the sackcloth in Xujiabu Village, more than a dozen attendants were moved.

Here are the good clothes they can afford!
They first took a look at the host's expression. Bo Ya and Ziyu saw that they were the kind who were usually nice to the schoolboys around them. Seeing that the linen clothes were so cheap, they smiled at the schoolboys around them and asked them to buy two sets for themselves to change and wear.

The money had already been exchanged for chips, and the two bookboys happily bought a suit each, because it was the master who spoke, and the money was spent on the master, and the meager savings that he had worked so hard to save could continue to be saved, so it was especially special. Happy.

This is not the case in other families. People are still different. Even if the same group of people are playing together, there are many differences in their views on things.

Some didn't pay generously, but they didn't stop the bookboys from using their private houses to buy them.

There were others, so they turned to other counters where silk and silk were placed, intending to pull some good materials for the mothers and sisters at home, but did not mention the people around them.

Regarding this, Bo Ya and Ziyu just looked at each other helplessly, shook their heads and smiled, and said nothing.

After all, these bookboy attendants are only part of the family property in general.

As a property, it's fine if you can't provide value for the owner's family, and it's obviously unreasonable to ask the owner to pay more property.

Like the two of them, I am afraid that these students will be classified as "stupid".

If they were more polite, they would just say that they were generous and compassionate.

Sometimes Boya couldn't help but think to himself, why not be compassionate?How can you be the joke of outsiders?
Could it be that everyone can only protect their own interests, so they are considered real men?
Bo Ya shook his head, he didn't understand these people anymore, but those people also didn't understand him.

But the things in Xujiazhuang are really cheap, so he has to buy more for his family.

Seeing more and more people coming from behind, a group of students started to snap up the items one after another.

For the cloth alone, there are ten pieces of staff, not counting the strange new gadgets such as gloves, hats, and felt shoes.

The arms of the bookboy followers who followed behind were already full.

That's it, just entered the first store.

The abacus in Xu Yue's mind has already been cracked open, and after a rough calculation, she can't help feeling that these students are really rich!
After visiting the cloth store, everyone came to the ceramics store again. As soon as they entered, they saw a pair of large seven-color glazed vases standing at both ends of the counter in the store. out of place.

But it is undeniable that it is breathtakingly beautiful!
"Last year, there was a batch of objects called glass that were priceless. Could it be this?" a student asked in amazement.

The three brothers and sisters of the Xu family nodded, smiled without saying a word, and led the crowd to other places in the store.

Aside from the pair of priceless glass colorful vases, other items in the store are actually very practical. The price is not as outrageously cheap as sackcloth, but it is not prohibitively expensive either.

On the shelves are mostly smooth everyday pottery, as well as porcelain bowls and plates as white as snow.

These porcelains are a complete set, pure in color, not as luxurious as gold, silver and jade wares, but contain a touch of elegance.

Tzuyu just took a look and knew that this must be specially made for elegant scholars, and the low-key, elegant, and restrained preferences of their scholars are well controlled!
"How much cloth is there?" Ziyu hurriedly lowered his head and asked the school boy beside him.

The little book boy was still holding five bolts of silk, two sets of linen clothes, and a bundle of towels, gloves, and socks. His face was hidden behind him, and he replied in a low voice: "Not many, only two gold cakes." gone."

The money cloth I took when I came here had already been exchanged for chips from the Xu family, some of which were deducted because of poor quality, and all the chips had been replaced with things in his hands, and there would not be a single more .

Besides, who would have thought that the things here would be so good and cheap?If you don't buy it, you will feel like you are losing money. Who would be willing to leave a chip?

Just these two small golden cakes are kept for emergency use on weekdays. When I came from the academy, I didn't even think about buying anything, and naturally I didn't bring much money.

Ziyu looked at the set of tea utensils in front of him that were painted with light green and gray bamboo leaves, and felt like scratching his heart. If he couldn't get it, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Seeing Xu Yue walking towards him, Ziyu pulled her aside and asked in a low voice with some embarrassment:

"Junior brother, can you borrow some money for emergency?"

Xu Yue asked curiously, "What do you want to buy, brother?"

Ziyu pointed to the set of bamboo leaf tea set, Xu Yue nodded clearly and said, "It's not expensive, just five thousand dollars is enough, senior brother can't even get five thousand dollars?"

"Five thousand dollars?" Ziyu was taken aback. It was much cheaper than expected. His two small gold cakes cost five or six taels, which was almost enough.

Xu Yue nodded, that batch of tea utensils was Uncle Dayou's first foray into art, if it was messed up, there are only a few sets left that can be seen.

Generally speaking, the ones that can be sold in the shop are all inferior or defective products that are not very good, and are used for cutting leeks.

Really good things are reserved for those valuable merchants.

For example, people like Gongsun Yan and the surrounding trench gentry have raw material resources such as mulberry gardens, silkworm houses, hemp fields, and grain in their hands. Ordinary things can't impress them.

Therefore, it must be a really good product in order to deter them.

This is why A Niang wants to hold a market.

They must show a certain strength and let these people experience it personally, so that future cooperation can be smoother.

Ziyu found that his gold cakes were enough, so he hurriedly asked the book boy to put down the cloth, and went to exchange chips to buy tea utensils.

But thinking that he hadn't visited the rest of the shops, he borrowed thirty red chips from Xu Yue, totaling three thousand dollars.

Ziyu took the chip and swore that he would spend so much in the future!
