Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 161 Shopping

Fang Yun and Yuxian naturally lived on Zhuangzi. In the middle of the night, it snowed heavily outside.In the morning, thick snow covered the whole world, about half a foot deep.In this place in the capital, it is even snowing heavily.As soon as the door was opened in the morning, a gust of cold air rushed in. Yuxian put on the padded jacket and cloak, then opened the door and went to the outer room.

Outside is a world covered in silver. Haoyu got up early and is sweeping the snow with the servants in Zhuangzi.Seeing Yuxian coming out, he made a snowball and threw it directly at Yuxian.With a puff, it hit Yuxian.Yuxian also made a snowball and hit it back towards Haoyu. The two of them came and went, and had a snowball fight.There were also a few children in the village, and when they saw the two of them having fun, they all started playing together.At this time, I didn't care about the cold anymore. After a few rounds, my body was sweating.

Yuxian was tired from playing, so she just bent over and gasped for breath, Haoyu ran to her side, "little girl, let's go back, we haven't eaten breakfast yet." Saying that, without waiting for Yuxian's consent, he pulled her away go inside.Yuxian also had enough fun, so she took advantage of the opportunity and entered the house.

Breakfast is also placed in the flower hall, and the girls have already served breakfast.Fang Yun came from the East Wing, and Hao Yuniang also came out, and the four of them sat there for breakfast. "Yuxian, Haoyu, you two haven't washed your hands yet. You haven't been afraid of freezing your hands after going out to play in the snow for so long." Haoyuniang said.

The two children glanced at each other, then went to wash their hands obediently.Come back and sit down. A girl has already served the porridge.Yuxian picked up a small spoon and started to drink the porridge bit by bit, while Hao Yuniang picked up vegetables or food for them from time to time.Yuxian ate two small buns and a bowl of porridge, and she was full.Haoyu also finished eating, and led Yuxian to the study to find a book to read.

It's snowing today, so it's not suitable to go out.Because this is not the northeast, the ground is not completely frozen, the ground is slippery, and the top is covered with a layer of snow, so the horses cannot run at all.Therefore, the master and the apprentice had to stay on Zhuangzi for a day.

On the second day, the snow outside had been hardened by pedestrians, so Fang Yun led Yu Xian back to the city.When the master and apprentice arrived at Tongrentang, Shunzi was busy inside without touching the floor, so Fang Yun stepped forward to help.After a while, when there were slightly fewer people, Shunzi and Fang Yun arrived at the back hall.

"Boss, this manual is really good. Our manual has exquisite paper and special printing. After reading it, customers ask which workshop printed it, and some even said that they are going to print the book. We use it now. According to the method Miss Yuxian said, for expensive medicines, you must write down the serial number of the medicine and the customer's information. In this way, if there is a problem, we will have evidence to check." Shunzi happily said to Fang Yun.

"Brother Shunzi, in fact, these are just symptoms, not the root cause. As long as there is greed in people's hearts, there will be fake medicines. We are just taking some precautions. As long as our medicines are genuine, we will Just be clear in your heart." Yu Xian knew that these measures were only temporary, and the counterfeiters would not give up, and the struggle between real medicine and fake medicine would never stop.

"That's right, but there's no way around it. I hope the drug sellers don't want to be greedy for such a small gain. In fact, they can just come to our Tongrentang to buy it. Why do they have to buy it from others?" Shunzi shook his head. , expressed puzzlement. "By the way, the snow clam oil that Ms. Yuxian brought this time is also very good. Let's put it in a box with the words "snow clam" on the outside, and put it on the shelf. Many people came to buy it. Our Xueha is of good quality and dried thoroughly. The buyers are also knowledgeable, and they all said it was a good product, and they asked if they had any." Shunzi remembered the matter of Xueha.

"This time we brought more than 100 catties, and there are not many at home. Brother Shunzi, I think you can hold six taels in each box at most. How can you sell so fast?" Yu Xian heard that the snow clams were selling well, so naturally very happy.

"Everyone buys several boxes. This gift is much better than others. It used to be a tribute, where ordinary people can get it. Now we have it, and the quality is good. Naturally, there are more people buying it." Shunzi thinks that if there are some more, they can be sold. It seems that this year is not enough, and they can only wait for next year.

"How is the preparation of the fine ingredients in the fine ingredient warehouse? Let's add a few more new medicines this time." Fang Yun got a few more prescriptions from Yuxian, of course he wanted to get the medicine out quickly.

"The commonly used medicines have been ground into fine ingredients. I'll take you to have a look. New medicines are coming out. That would be great." Hearing that, Shunzi was naturally very happy, and led Fang Yun to the side of the fine ingredients storehouse. go.

Yuxian didn't follow, these practical tasks were beyond her ability, so she might as well go to Chunlan.So I ran to the backyard, where Chunlan was washing clothes. "Sister Chunlan, I'm back."

Yuxian found a bench and sat beside them, the two of them chatted, "Sister Chunlan, this time I go back, sister Chuntao should get married soon, won't you come with me?"

Chunlan didn't stop working, she continued to scrub and wash the clothes. "Miss, you have also seen how busy Shunzi is. If I leave now, he won't even have a mouthful of hot food, so I still won't go back. Please help me bring something to Chuntao, I've already given it to him." She has prepared a congratulatory gift. If there is nothing to do during the Chinese New Year, maybe we will go back."

"Okay then, I'll take it back for you. During the Chinese New Year, you must go back early, let Brother Shunzi slowly cultivate a few honest and reliable buddies, and then promote a second shopkeeper. In this way, he won't have to be so tired It's gone." Yuxian also knew that there was a shortage of manpower in Tongrentang, but they couldn't employ people casually, that's why Shunzi was so busy.

"By the way, miss, are you going back soon?" Chunlan straightened her body and picked up her clothes.

"Well, Master has released a new medicine these days, and we will be leaving when the new medicine comes out." Yu Xian felt a little homesick.She originally wanted to visit Cao's house, but after thinking about it, she felt something was wrong.If it was father or Dalang who came, they had to go to Cao's house.But Yuxian is a girl, and a girl who is only over six years old, so it's better not to go, it's not suitable.In the future, it is inevitable to run to the capital, and then let father and the others go.After two days, just go to see my little uncle again.

Fang Yun came out of the fine material warehouse and went to the back to look for Yuxian. "I've been watching the dispensing of the medicine for the past two days, so I don't have time to accompany you. I'd better send you to Haoyu, where Haoyu will accompany you. At most three days, I can prepare the new medicine , then we will go home."

Yuxian nodded and agreed, "Master, you can go shopping with me, I want to buy some things to go home. When I come to the capital, I also want to buy some things, so I can give them away when I go back." Besides, she really wants to go shopping Some things Master said.

"Okay, then let's go. Now the fine material warehouse is short of two medicines, and the workers are rushing. I just go shopping with you. We'd better go and tell your uncle in the afternoon." Fang Yun led Yuxian out for shopping. up.

Tongrentang is located in the most prosperous commercial area, so when you leave Tongrentang and walk along both sides of the street, you can buy the latest and best things in the capital.The master and apprentice walked slowly along the street, shop by shop. "Master, there is a silk shop here, let's go in and have a look." The two went inside.

There are a variety of fabrics in the shop, silk and satin, everything.However, Yuxian mainly looks at cotton cloth, which is flashy and not suitable for farmers.

A young man came to him, "You two, what do you want to see?"

"Brother, we want to see your six-color overprinted cloth, do you have it?" This is what Yuxian wants to see the most.

"Yes, yes, please follow me. Guest officer, look this way, here are all the six-color overprinted fabrics you mentioned. This is the latest, and the supply is simply in short supply. The new goods that came yesterday, today Only half of it is left, if you don’t buy it, it will be gone tomorrow.” The clerk introduced enthusiastically,

Yuxian looked at the cloth, the cloth was thick, the prints on it were clear, the colors were bright, and the color registration was done very well without any deviation.This technique is comparable to that of the previous life.Yuxian couldn't put it down, so she asked the price, and sure enough, it was more than twice the price of ordinary dyed cloth.However, it's worth it, so I picked a lot of cloth, which I don't have at home, so I bought as much as I could.The guy naturally wrapped it up cheerfully, and then promised to send it to Tongrentang.

Yuxian went to look at the printed quilt cover and mattress cover again. The dragon and phoenix, mandarin ducks and so on were printed on them, which were vivid.This is the best thing for getting married. Although I have sold some to Chuntao before, no one wants too many good things.Pick some more and go back. I should make a few more sets of quilts at home.Besides, there are three more girls, maybe one day they will prepare a dowry for Chunlan, so let's prepare it together.Even if any relative has a happy event, it is very decent to take it out as a gift.So, Yuxian picked out more than ten beds of quilts.But the guy was very happy.

After leaving the silk and satin village, the master and apprentice went to the grocery store again and bought a large bag of matches.These matches are also packed in small boxes. The matchsticks inside are a bit thick and the matchheads are also big, so it should be easy to use.Yuxian saw the soap on the counter, so she asked the clerk how much it was, and the clerk said twenty cents.It's really expensive, but this thing is sold as a scarcity, so I decided to buy more, anyway, I can keep it.I used it for my mother to wash clothes at home, so as not to have to soak it in water with plant ash every time, and it still couldn't be washed clean.Two taels of silver, I bought 100 yuan, asked the buddy to find something to pack, and sent it to Tongrentang.

In this way, the two masters and apprentices went shopping all the way, and Yuxian went from shop to shop and bought gifts for everyone in the family.Naturally, cloth, tea, and the Four Treasures of the Study are bought more, and others are not suitable for long-distance transportation.Yuxian bought a box of pearl flowers and silk flowers for Xiaofeng and Xiaomei.The silk flowers made in the capital look like real ones, and Yuxian likes them very much.So I bought a few more and kept them as gifts.In addition, I picked some head jewelry for Chuntao, all of which are silver, but the style is very new and the workmanship is exquisite.

In that jewelry shop, Yuxian also saw a pocket watch. She never thought that she could see this kind of timekeeping tool in this world.Yuxian decided to buy one and save it to watch the time. "Man, how much money is your pocket watch?"

A clerk over there came over and saw Yuxian and Fang Yun behind him, so he replied, "Girl, we have very few watches of this kind. A pocket watch costs 120 taels of silver." The clerk looked at Yuxian's young age. , I knew pocket watches, and didn't dare to underestimate them, so I quickly answered.

"Master, let's buy one. The time of this thing is accurate, as long as it is wound at a fixed time." Yu Xian looked at Fang Yun.Fang Yun nodded, so Yuxian said, "If I buy two yuan, can it be cheaper?"

"Yes, if there are two yuan, a total of 220 taels will be enough."

"Buy two yuan and wrap it up for me." Yuxian turned her head to Fang Yun and said, "Master, I'll give you one piece." Fang Yun agreed with a smile.

After shopping for more than an hour, I bought a lot of things.Fortunately, the buddies were sent to Tongrentang, otherwise, it would have been enough for Fang Yun.Seeing that the time was almost up, and Yuxian had bought enough, the master and apprentice went to Fang Xin's house.When they arrived at Fang Xin's house, Fang Xin had already returned.Yuxian said that they were leaving soon, so Fang Xin ordered the housekeeper to let Yuxian take the prepared gift back.The housekeeper brought up three big boxes, and Yuxian looked at them and said, "Little uncle, I bought a lot of things myself. Adding yours, the carriage can't fit at all, so there is no room for me." ?”

"It doesn't matter, just hire another carriage. The things in these two boxes were given to me by others, and many of them are for the women's family. I don't have any women's family here. It's useless to keep them. Don't waste any more. Take the other box to your grandma for me, it's for her." Fang Xin smiled, ignoring Yuxian's complaints.

"Okay, let's send it to Tongrentang later, the things I bought are there." Yuxian knew that it was useless to object.

The three of them talked for a while, Fang Yun was about to leave, and Fang Xin wanted to keep them for a meal, "Brother Xin, I won't be here today, I want to send Yuxian to the Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing. There is no time to take care of Yuxian, so I sent it to Zhuangzi. My righteous sister is there, and Haoyu, they can accompany Yuxian well. In three or four days, we should go home , when the time comes, I will go straight away and not come to the house."

"Okay, brother said so, so I won't stay. I'm busy every day, too little time at home, or Yuxian would be fine with me. Forget it, with Haoyu, Yuxian also has a companion. Come, Yuxian, let uncle hug you." As he spoke, Fang Xin picked up Yuxian and sent them out.

At the gate, the butler had already prepared the carriage and put the three boxes on the carriage.Yuxian and Fang Yun got into the car, and waved to Fang Xin, "Little uncle, go back early for the New Year." Fang Xin nodded with a smile, and waved at the coachman, who drove the carriage and sent Yuxian back Tongrentang.

Back in the Tongrentang, the back hall was filled with the things Yuxian had bought, and Yuxian was taken aback by the fact that she had bought so many things.After doing the math, I probably spent nearly 400 taels of silver today. No wonder people say that women are born shopaholics.This is really true, I have become a part of the shopaholic.
