Chapter 109 Entering the Town 3
Ji Xinmiao, who had been fighting against Lin Er and Camellia, suddenly found that Qi Dalang was expressionless, and she blushed suddenly: I have been entangled with Lin Er and Camellia, am I too careless?

But this Lin Er is really a cockroach that can't be killed, Ji Xinmiao cursed secretly, how did this stubborn man become the little boss in this town?Can't even look at people's eyes?But he just doesn't know how to read, how can you bear him?Besides, people want to help, not looking for trouble. There are many friends and many ways, so Ji Xinmiao said helplessly to Lin Er: "Since Mr. Lin is so polite, then Ji Xinmiao will not refuse. I want to come to town today. Inquire about the purchase of this mushroom in the restaurant above, if you can help, I will be very grateful!"

Seeing that there is really a serious business for him to do, in order to show his ability, don't let the boss underestimate his role.So Lin Er asked seriously: "What are the boss's mushrooms?"

Ji Xinmiao rolled her eyes before saying, "There are pure mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and black fungus. There are fresh ones, and there are also dried ones."

Lin Er is not a complete jerk, he told Ji Xinmiao: "If it is fresh, the three big hotels in the town may also sell a lot of mushrooms and shiitake mushrooms, but no one likes black fungus. Dry goods It’s better to sell it to merchants, especially in the north, where there are fewer of these things in winter, and the price will be higher.”

Ji Xinmiao glanced at Lin Er appreciatively and said, "Mr. Lin is right, so please help me find out. If you have any news, send it to Zhuji grocery store at No. 37 East Street. It belongs to my second aunt's house." store, and she will send the letter to me then."

Lin Eryi cupped his hands: "Boss, just wait for the good news from the brothers. In this town, there is no news that I, Lin Er, can't hear. Goodbye!"

"Thank you!" Ji Xinmiao replied politely.

After Lin Er took Camellia and the two gangsters away, Ji Xinmiao found that Qi Dalang was staring at their backs without moving.She pushed him: "Master, what are you looking at?"

Qi Dalang withdrew his eyes and said lightly: "I didn't see anything, let's go, didn't you say you want to go to Liuji to buy oilcloth?"

Hearing this tone, Ji Xinmiao felt uneasy. Is this person really angry?But thinking about it again, I really don't have much to do with this Lin Er, what is she afraid of if she is upright?What can she worry about?Think about her feeling better again.Regardless of what Qi Dalang thought, he dragged him towards Liu Ji.

The two bought a bundle of tarpaulins in Liuji, and Ji Xinmiao asked Liuji's boss for a lot of cloth strips, and a large bag of cloth strips was confiscated and given to them.Just adding the oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and edible food bought by the two of them, Qi Dalang looked at the big pile, so he asked Liu Ji's staff to deliver them to the shop of the second aunt's house.

Ji Lanlan looked at the pile of tarpaulins, and she asked in surprise, "Miao'er, what do you need so many tarpaulins for? These things are not cheap."

Ji Xinmiao smiled and said, "Second Gu, Da Lang is useful."

Qi Dalang knew what Ji Xinmiao meant, so he said, "Second Gu, I'm trying to find something new. If it works, there will be fresh mushrooms to eat in winter."

Ji Lanlan asked in surprise, "The temperature is so low in winter, can mushrooms grow?"

Qi Dalang pointed to the oilcloth and said, "I just want to try using them."

Seeing a lot of things, Ji Lanlan said: "You guys leave later, and when your uncle comes back to receive the goods, I will take you back home."

Qi Dalang quickly declined: "No, no, let's go to the village to take a bullock cart. It's scheduled when we come, and they will wait for us in a while."

Ji Lanlan asked again: "Then when will you leave?"

Qi Dalang looked at the sun and said: "It will be almost half an hour later, anyway, Ergu's place is only a quarter of an hour away from the village entrance. Daughter-in-law, you sit here with Ergu, and I'll go shopping again."

Ji Xinmiao always felt that Qi Dalang was a little strange, so he stood up and said, "I'll go with you. Anyway, I came here by ox cart today, and I'm not tired."

Qi Dalang could only say: "Then let's go."

The two walked towards West Street, and Ji Xinmiaoyi asked him beside him: "Sir, is there anything else you haven't bought?"

Qi Dalang saw that Ji Xinmiao had been sticking to his side and didn't feel disgusted, and suddenly he felt better: "I want to buy you some pastries to go home. Now that the weather is cold, the pastries can be kept for a few days. Sometimes I find you At night, my stomach growls, I wonder if you will be hungry in the middle of the night."

It would be a lie to say that you are not moved. Ji Xinmiao hugged his arm and said, "I am not hungry in the middle of the night, but it is good to buy some pastries to go home. The two children are always looking for cold food in the middle of the afternoon, so buy some pastries and put them there , let them satisfy their hunger."

Originally, Ji Xinmiao was only willing to buy one kind, but Qi Dalang insisted on buying corn cakes, mung bean cakes, and red date cakes in the store, and it was a big bag in his hand.

Remembering that it was getting cold, Ji Xinmiao saw that there was still time, so he dragged Qi Dalang into the grocery store: "Boss, do you have any cotton here?"

The shopkeeper immediately said enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, what grade of cotton does the lady want?"

Ji Xinmiao didn't know the cotton price in the world, so she asked, "What's the best cotton price?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Ji Xinmiao for a moment, but replied immediately: "Lady, this best cotton store doesn't have it, and the big store costs at least [-] yuan a catty."

Ji Xinmiao's eyes widened in surprise: "Thirty Wen a catty? So expensive?"

Thirty cents a catty of cotton, what kind of cotton is this?In this era of poverty and backwardness, is the price too high?

Seeing her being so surprised, the shopkeeper was finally proud: "Of course, those extra-grade cottons are as thin as white clouds and soft as silk, and they are all worn by the nobles in the capital. The price is not expensive."

Ji Xinmiao was a little excited when she heard that. Her family has a lot of land, which is not suitable for growing rice.If the cotton really has a good price, then she has a new way to make money.

So she asked calmly: "Shopkeeper, what kind of cotton do you have in this store, can you show the little lady? I want to make two cotton coats for the children and my husband in the family for the winter."

Seeing that she is a virtuous woman, the shopkeeper became friendly: "Little lady, I think you are dressed like normal people, so let's buy and sell some third-grade cotton, seven cents a catty. Although the color is not too white, it is still good for keeping warm." .”

Seeing that the shopkeeper was telling the truth, Ji Xinmiao nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, the old shopkeeper is telling the truth. It would be great if we are farmers who can wear cotton jackets. But old man, do you have a cotton jacket?" Clothes are not easy, it is better to use a little cotton, so that the clothes are warm, don't you think?"

Thinking of the price of the second-grade cotton, and looking at the two people's clothes, the shopkeeper's eyes were full of doubts, so his hands were also slow.
