Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 377: Four Years of Time (4)
The carriages of Qingli and Shui Linghuan stopped at the gate of Cuihua Building, and immediately a clever guy stepped forward to receive them, and they were no strangers to seeing them, "Miss Shui, Miss Mo, it's really time to come, the new stock is half an hour old It was delivered just before, and you are the fastest customer."

The last time the Dilong turned over in the capital, the Cuihua Building did not collapse, but there were cracks in the wall, and it was torn down and refurbished later. There are three floors in total, and it is even more magnificent. The hall is filled with Western calligraphy and paintings brought from overseas , glazed vases, and kerosene desk lamps that make Qingli think they are European-style. In this era, there is no Edison and no electric lights.

Qingli is based on the new pattern brought over from the outer sea, combined with the remaining patterns in her mind in her previous life, her furniture shop is particularly popular, those oil lamp shelves look unremarkable, but ordinary people can afford them, and ordinary people, There will also be people who will come to the door to find a dowry that can be bought for their daughter.So she visits regularly for inspiration.

"Man, where is your boss? I haven't seen you once in these years."

Shui Linghuan asked suspiciously, "It's just that there are one or two new tricks a year. Could it be that your boss is on the boat?"

"Miss Shui, I have worked in Cuihua Building for more than four years, but I haven't seen our boss."

The clerk smiled wryly. Only the shopkeeper gave a lot of rewards every year, but he didn’t see his real body. Ask the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper asked him to do a good job. Don’t worry about it, the boss will not short him.

"What a strange person."

Shui Linghuan muttered something, and went upstairs with Qingli. This time, there were a lot of new things brought in, many of them were toys, puzzles made of wood chips, with a large pattern that could be put together, and some of them looked like Westerners. Portraits, there are landscapes, animals, and three-dimensional puzzles, a big boat, houses, etc., are all used to develop intelligence, Qingli thinks it is good, it is better than big Zhou and Xiaowa who play with mud all day long, but I asked The price has also dropped, and each item costs several hundred taels of silver. These game toys can only be bought by rich people in overseas.

"What kind of novelty is this? It's full of small holes."

Shui Linghuan is holding a golden rectangle with a row of small holes on it, and many precious stones are inlaid on the rectangle, which is exquisite and beautiful.

"This is a harmonica, which can be played. It is the same as our bamboo flute. It is small and exquisite, with a chain on it. It can be used as an accessory, as a pendant for pressing skirt corners, and is multi-purpose."

The buddy took out an iron one, and played a mountain tune, which made Shui Linghuan clap his hands excitedly, and couldn't put it down even more for this small harmonica.

"What is the price?"

If it's cheap, buy it. Shui Linghuan brings a hundred taels of silver with her when she goes out. All her property in these years is less than a thousand taels of private house. Jewelry and the like, the elders will not give money during the holidays.

"This one is not expensive, 150 taels."

In fact, according to the cost, it is no more than 50 taels. After a trip from the outer sea, it has increased so much, which makes people feel cheap. The owner of Cuihua Building is no different from robbery. Earn at least 10,000+ taels.

"I want this!"

This is gold and silver at least. Those two worthless broken paintings cost hundreds of taels. It’s better to grab them. What’s the use of saying that famous people from overseas made paintings? It’s not Da Zhou’s. value.

Qingli bought a jigsaw puzzle, she wanted to hang it in a furniture store, because she made a lot of European-style furniture recently, and one of the model rooms always felt that there was something missing. He made the three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle and gave it to his disciple Lu to play with, so as to cultivate his hands-on ability, and left a boat for his little disciple Xi to make the three-dimensional jigsaw puzzle.

Most of the rest are jewelry, there are many earrings and necklaces, all of which are inlaid with huge gemstones, which look gorgeous, but there are no more diamonds, and the guy explained that it has become exclusive to the royal family, and there is no way to pay a high price. acquisition.

It took a long time for the two of them to come out. When it was noon, Qing Li saw that Shui Linghuan was eager to learn the harmonica, so she said goodbye to her. The two made an appointment to meet at the academy tomorrow. Qing Li turned around and asked the driver to go to Xiangman Lou, before he came out, had already promised his disciple Lu to buy the most famous roast chicken there.

"Miss, how many roast chickens shall we buy?"

Mai Ya smelled the smell of roasted chicken in the carriage, thinking of the golden roasted chicken, his mouth is almost watering down. This Xiangmanlou shop was established after Dilong turned over, and only sells roasted chickens. Moreover, every roast chicken will be carefully marinated before grilling. The price is very reasonable. Ordinary people will buy one from time to time to satisfy their greed. There are many, even if you put a knife around your neck after buying, there are not many.

"Let's think about it, twenty may not be enough, right?"

In addition to the fourth uncle, fourth aunt, and cousins, there are many maids, women, guards and servants in the house. Everyone works very hard, and they work hard in one place. There is absolutely no mutual suppression like in other houses. In that case, Qingli is instilling in them ideas all the time, everyone is in the same mansion, they are all a family, it doesn’t matter if anyone has a little problem on weekdays, criticize education, but the general direction must be correct, work hard, no one will be treated badly .

In the mansion, the maids, maids, women, and guards who pass on the word never give rewards, but every New Year's day, Qingli will give them benefits, let them take turns to take vacations, vegetables, rice grains, chickens and ducks produced in the village, and ponds in the mansion The fish and shrimp in the bag, even the fabric of the clothes, and the red envelopes for New Years and festivals. Sometimes Qingli will send pearl hairpins to the guards who are already married, so that these wooden bumps that don’t understand romance can be given to their wives. , Qingli's reputation is even better.

In addition to the maid on duty in the mansion, the housekeeper sends people to teach literacy and etiquette every night. For those who want to learn more, they will also ask people to teach other things, as long as you want to learn.

Qingli said that [-] were not enough this time, because she thought that it had been a long time since everyone had been given benefits, and the maids and women in the mansion were too busy recently, because Qingli and her family had to rush over in Fengyang City. I also bought a house by myself, and wanted my family to move there, but my uncle and aunt strongly opposed it, and I had to live in the General’s Mansion, saying that it was lively, the mansion was big, and there were many vacant rooms in the second yard. Knowing that Miss Qingli's family is coming, I am also happy for her, so every day someone will consciously do the work and wipe the windows clean.

"Miss, do you have to buy so many?"

Mai Ya scratched her head in embarrassment, would she be beaten by people queuing outside when she came out? Twenty, she probably couldn't take that many.
