Chapter 427: A kiss from another generation
Medicine shop, rice shop, book shop, cloth shop...
Yan Yu and Daya went in and out of the shops on Huju Street as needed, bought all the medicinal materials listed on Li Xuemei's list, and bought some soybeans and mung beans to go back to sprout vegetables. They also left some waste paper in the bookstore.
.
Yan Yuqiang dragged Da Ya into the cloth shop, bought needles, prepared all the embroidery threads of all the colors in the shop, and bought a piece of Songjiang cloth in a big way.
Children grow up quickly. When Zaizai is born and she can roll over, sit, and crawl, she will have to start slowly preparing her little clothes now.
Yan Yu also wanted to try the dyeing method recorded on the bamboo slips, and white cotton was very suitable.
Yan Laoer and Yan Xiangheng followed to carry things.
When they returned to the government office, the two of them already had several large and small bags on their bodies.
Yan Yu went to the stable to take the donkey out, squatted on the sledge and saw her wagging her tail happily.
The officer next to him said, "Xiao Er, your dog is well-raised. He knows how to see things. He bares his teeth when people are close, and he protects him fiercely."
"Yongning and Huju are separated by a long road. It takes a long time to go back and forth. It costs 80 yuan to rent a car and have to hire a lot of people... It is also worth earning some copper coins."
Ertie: "Well, you go back first."
Take a trip to Huju and get a couple of pocket money, not bad!
It's a pity that uncle is not here...
"Wait a little longer. Many people said hello and said they would come back later. It's not good to leave early." Ertie said.
"Dad!" Yan Yu really couldn't stand him. "I can almost memorize it. It's not easy for my master. The more you work, the less you earn. A seventh-grade master earns three to seventy-five taels a month and forty-five taels a year..."
...Life is hard, otherwise I would rather not take this money, I would be embarrassed."
"Brother Ertie, don't collect too much, or you're afraid the sledge won't be able to bear it," Yan Yu warned.
Cheng Lezhou: "I...the firewood sellers I saw outside Yongning City seem to be the same people who collect firewood outside Huju City..."
"Ah?!" Yan Yu didn't expect that his master had a similar problem to his uncle, so he also gave him pocket money?
This...this is great!
"Dad, I've only met my master a few times. It's not because of you, dad. I'm taking advantage of you! Hey, dad, how much pocket money did my master give me?" Yan Yu rubbed her hands, her eyes glowing, okay.
Looking forward to it!
"This is what dad gave you." Yan Laoer must not fall behind others, even if this person is his teacher.
"The ones at the city gate are cheaper. I buy all my firewood there." Cheng Lezhou added, "I saw today that your firewood collection has increased by one penny. Does that mean that the price of firewood in Yongning will increase?"
"We know."
Who told us to have such convenient conditions?
"Okay, since we agreed, we'll wait a little longer. But Brother Ertie, I have something to do and I have to go back first. I won't wait for you, so I'm leaving now."
Yan Yu understands that it's okay to leave the bag alone, that's understandable.
"It's human nature to hold on tight. It's just a scare, so you won't bite easily." She raised the paw that was holding tight, shook it at the person, and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, don't be afraid."
…
"Haha, you kid, I'm not afraid of looking down on your Uncle Wu!"
"It's going to go up, but it's also a penny." Yan Yu thought for a while and asked, "Brother Cheng, do you think there's something wrong with us reselling it?"
"That won't work. The old man is stubborn. Just take it and I'll go back on the tenth day of next month. Our family will take a trip to Fucheng to see our master's wife." Yan Laoer said.
Young Master Cheng had an extra cotton robe on him. It must be that his master knew that he was riding a sledge on the way back and was afraid that he would get cold. Her father, on the other hand, gave her money when he saw her.
"Now, these five cents were given to you by your master. Save your money. The old man only gets three taels, seven cents and five cents a month." Yan Laoer couldn't help but reiterate again.
The uncle was away, and Uncle Liang was too busy settling money and food, so he had no choice but to ask his master about this matter.
"Is it because the price of firewood has increased?" Yan Yu asked.
"Yes!" Yan Yu admitted openly, there was nothing to hide.
"I..." Cheng Lezhou mustered up his courage and said, "I want to ask if I can buy firewood from outside the city and bring it to the city... to sell..." Afraid of misunderstanding, he quickly explained: "I won't compete with you for business.
, they dragged me to the academy where I studied, I..."
"Dad, don't forget to tell Master about the fish scale album and Master Lu's family's purchase of land." Yan Yu reminded.
"Brother Yan, you are collecting firewood in Huju, are you selling it to Yongning?"
"Can't forget."
"They are all from our village. Have you seen them, Brother Cheng?" Yan Yu asked.
Mr. Tian was indeed very happy and his eyebrows were raised.
"You have collected so much firewood? Brother Ertie, you should go back early today. If you collect more, you won't be able to collect any more." Yan Yu looked at the firewood bundled at the city gate and did a simple calculation. He felt that today's amount was almost enough.
Yan Laoer laughed and said, "Old Wu, aren't you afraid of what you are doing so far away?"
The yamen officer surnamed Wu glared at him: "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving now. See you later."
Yan Laoer first went back to the back office and picked up the sheepskin coat. There was one here for Mr. Tian. I forgot to bring it with me when I went there just now. Now is the time to take it to the old man for pleasure.
"When your master saw your sheepskin coat, he was very happy. He asked if the white sheep were more expensive. He said that the waiter was interested. As a master, he didn't have anything to give you. He happened to be given a monthly salary, so he had to let me
I'll give you some pocket money." Yan Laoer looked strange and secretly pulled her aside and said sourly: "It's really a kiss from another generation."
He put it on and touched the soft and warm wool, which warmed his heart.
Yan Yuzheng was chatting with the doorman at the east side door.
Again, Young Master Cheng was lying on the donkey, while Yan Yu and Daya were sitting.
…
…
Her father and Cheng Lezhou came over together.
Maybe it was because he had an extra piece of clothing on his body, so it wasn't as cold anymore, or maybe it was because they were more familiar with each other, because Cheng Lezhou talked a lot.
Yan Yu smiled and took the five coins again.
Yan Laoer said: "You go to the east side door and wait while I go find Mr. Cheng."
"No, no, no!" Cheng Lezhou denied repeatedly.
Ertie nodded: "Yes, I told you that the price will be the same from now on. It will not go down anymore, it will only go up. But they can't wait three days until they bring all the firewood at home today."
"Sure!" Yan Yu readily agreed without waiting for him to finish.
He also took advantage of the situation to promote his own charcoal: "My family not only sells firewood, but also charcoal. Brother Cheng, you can come and buy it. You also know how hard it is for us to travel back and forth to Yongning. We really don't have much money for a trip, so we can only sell it according to the city."
I’ll give you the price outside the door, don’t be offended, Mr. Cheng.”
"Don't be surprised!" Cheng Lezhou added: "I also have a sledge at home. I widened it on both sides and used it for pulling firewood. The charcoal price is high, so the neighbors rarely use it. However, the master of the academy prepares it for daily use in winter. I'll ask when I have a chance.
It's cold this winter, so I'm afraid the charcoal I prepared before is not enough."
Although Yan Yu couldn't see his face, he could hear his happiness from his voice.
