Chapter 489

To be honest, when it comes to gift giving, Qiao Chu has never been his strong point. It is great to be able to think of giving some rice flour quilts to women. If he wants to know what to give to Mrs. Luo, he is obviously not capable enough.

Qiao Chu had a headache thinking about it, and when she got off the night shift, she simply dropped the apron in her hand: Damn!Is it all right for my wife to ask?
After breakfast the next day, Qiao Chu mysteriously called Mrs. Luo aside: "Ms. Luo, it's Chinese New Year. I want to prepare something for you. What do you lack here?"

Lady Luo laughed: This Qiao Chu, in some respects, is really innocent and cute.

Where is this question asked?
Isn't this the same as asking a guest to kill a chicken?

When a guest came to the door, the host asked, "Do you eat chicken? If you eat it, I will kill it. If you don't eat it, I won't kill it."

However, after getting along for a long time, she knew that Qiao Chu was a real person and wouldn't say those gaudy words, and Mrs. Luo didn't care.

So Mrs. Luo really thought about it for a while before she said: "Then why don't you buy me two bolts of cloth and I'll make two clothes?"

Qiao Chu nodded, and asked again, "Is that summer clothes? Or winter clothes?"

"If it's for summer, I'll buy gauze and light satins; if it's for winter, I'll buy thick ones."

Mrs. Luo: "...It's for winter."

"Is that for the inside? Or the outside? For the inside, I'll buy soft muslin; for the outside, I'll buy satin or leather..."

"By the way, what color do you like?"

Lady Luo was finally asked so much that she couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha...Chuchu, why are you so cute?"

Qiao Chu was stunned for a moment: "...Huh?"

Mrs. Luo slapped Qiao Chu's arm, and said with a smile: "This kind of thing is with me. When you go to the imperial city, you are not allowed to ask people like this."

"Ah? Why?" Qiao Chu looked at Miss Luo blankly.

Mrs. Luo smiled and said: "You have a good heart, and you always want to give others what they need most and the most suitable, but if you ask this, how embarrassing are they?"

Qiao Chu: "..."

To be honest, she really didn't think about it just now.

It's okay, just ask if you don't understand.

"Then what would you do if it were you?" Qiao Chu humbly asked for advice.

Lady Luo thought about it for a long time before explaining to her in words that Qiao Chu could probably understand.

"Look, those women who are not well-off, you know how to give them what they need. But if you go to the imperial city and meet those noble people, they don't lack anything..."

Qiao Chu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

She really doesn't understand this: That's right, they don't lack anything, so what is the right gift for me?

Mrs. Luo looked at the little lady who was eager for knowledge, so she taught Qiao Chu how to deal with the world like teaching a child...

After Qiao Chu listened, she had a hazy face, tilted her head and went out.

Hu Yanlie, who was eavesdropping outside, seemed to say that "listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books", so there is still so much knowledge in giving things?
Learned!
Oye!
Hu Yanlie ran away with excitement all over his face!

……

Today is a day to buy annual gifts for women.

Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan walked hand in hand, walking on the street through the winter snow.

A trip to the rice noodle shop asked the shopkeeper to separate them one by one and put them in bags, and Chen Qingshan put them in the storage bag.

I went to the butcher shop, snack shop, and clothing shop, and asked the shopkeeper to pack them one by one, and Chen Qingshan put them in the storage bag...

When it was his turn to choose clothes for Mrs. Luo, Qiao Chu decided to choose both inner and outer clothes.

Only then did Qiao Chu realize that he forgot to ask Mrs. Luo what color she likes...

Thinking back to Mrs. Luo's daily clothes, and asking the shopkeeper to recommend them, Qiao Chu finally chose three pieces of satin for the outside and two pieces of fine cotton for the inside.

Next door to the clothing shop is the powder shop.

In this place where primordial power and force are admired, women are unable to practice immortality, and those who practice martial arts are a minority after all. Instead, they rely more on various skin care cosmetics, powders and ointments, as well as various cosmetic rouge powders.

Qiao Chu went in to have a look, and the shopkeeper looked at Qiao Chu and Chen Qingshan. Although the two were dressed in simple and plain clothes, they had different temperaments. They didn't dare to underestimate them right now, and asked Qiao Chu what he wanted to buy.

Qiao Chu said loudly: "Bring me a copy of the best powder and balm you have here."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, he took out a box from the cabinet, and opened it for Qiao Chu to see.

"This is brought from the main store in the Imperial City. Right now, there is only one copy. If the lady likes it, she only needs three Yuanyu." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he put the things in front of Qiao Chu.

Qiao Chu nodded, and Chen Qingshan readily gave it to Yuanyu.

Qiao Chu opened the seven or eight bottles and cans in the box, took some and felt them on the back of his hand, then closed the box noncommittally, and put it in the storage bag.

After returning home, Chen Qingshan went to help pack up all the things, but Qiao Chu went to Mrs. Luo with the clothes and boxes.

Miss Luo looked at the material in front of her that was similar in color to her clothes, and nodded with satisfaction: "I like this material very much. Thank you."

Qiao Chu smiled slightly: "Thanks for your good teaching yesterday."

Lady Luo said a lot yesterday, one of which was this: "If you really can't decide what look and color to buy, you can look at what look and color she wears every day, although it is not easy to surprise people. , but it is not easy to make mistakes.”

Qiao Chu is a good student, maybe she doesn't understand, but she is willing to follow suit and try to figure it out...

That's great.

Luo Fuzi expressed his satisfaction with this diligent student.

Then Qiao Chu took out the makeup box again.

This antique wooden box is covered with silk and satin, which makes the several cloisonne boxes inside very delicate.

Qiao Chu took out the cloisonné boxes one by one and put them in front of Mrs. Luo: "I went to buy such a set of makeup today... because it's the first time I bought it, I want you to help me see how the quality is?"

Lady Luo looked at the powder box, saw the rose mark on it, and said in surprise: "This box is not cheap, how much did you pay for it?"

Qiao Chu: "Three Yuan Jade."

Mrs. Luo pondered for a moment, picked up one of the boxes of facial balm with her fingertips, kneaded it, and smelled it.

After a while, she looked at the other small boxes again.

In the end, Mrs. Luo gave a conclusion: "The texture is not bad."

Qiao Chu didn't care about this. She asked Mrs. Luo curiously: "If this kind of texture is in the imperial city, would it be considered high-grade? Or middle-grade? Or low-grade?"

Mrs. Luo recalled the texture level of the imperial city's powder and balm, and finally gave a more pertinent answer: "Medium to above."

What?
The texture of this thing is only above average, so it needs three yuan jade? !
If it is of high quality, how much Yuanyu should it cost?

Qiao Chu was curious, so she asked directly.

Mrs. Luo laughed: "The best cosmetics and ointments are specially made by the nobles in the palace, and they can't be bought at a price."

"Among the powders you can buy outside, which one has the best texture?" Qiao Chu asked the bottom line without giving up.

"Hmm... such a box will cost about thirty yuan jade..." Mrs. Luo thought for a while and confirmed.

"My God..." Qiao Chu gasped!
 Today's update will be a bit earlier, because there will be classes in the evening, so it will be updated during the day.

  Hey hey hey.

  Ask for tickets daily:

  Is there a monthly pass?
  Give it to me!

  Give someone a rose, leave a lingering fragrance in your hand
