047 Beautiful and Kind
The man selling seafood sent the Jiang brothers and sisters away with almost tears of gratitude. These things were originally difficult to sell, clams were cheap and sea cucumbers were rare, but many people didn't know the goods, so he was ready to stay for a long time.
Unexpectedly, I met such a kind-hearted girl today.
Jiang Xian not only bought it, but also made an agreement with him to harvest as many sea cucumbers of this quality as she could get in half a year.
After buying all the seafood, Jiang Xian spent almost fifty. The most expensive ones were the sea cucumbers. Although Jiang Jianhai smacked his lips, he didn't say anything.
The fat girl earned all this money by herself. She can spend it however she likes, but if it were him, he would definitely not be able to spend it like this.
Except for sea cucumbers, Jiang Xian has already made plans. She remembers that her mother is the best at cooking spicy dishes in the Jiang family. She must ask her mother to stir-fry those clams tomorrow. Deep in her memory, she seems to have a strong appetite for spicy food. She happens to
I am very curious about chili peppers.
Jiang Xian is good at making snacks and soups, but she is not good at cooking. After all, if she really becomes a beloved concubine, cooking is to please men, and making a snack is enough.
It doesn't matter if her mother knows it, but she still worries about not having anything delicious to eat?
After that, I saw a seller selling corn dregs. There was plenty of this stuff in the house, and the Jiang brothers and sisters were not rare. However, the buyer didn’t know if he saw the generosity of the Jiang brothers and sisters just now. It seemed that he didn’t want to miss these two big customers.
.
She quickly grabbed Jiang Xian: "Girl, do you want cloth? And eggs?"
Jiang Xian looked at the aunt. Her clothes were white from washing, and there were puddings on her elbows and the front of her clothes. However, she looked very neat. Her face was fair and gentle, but her knuckles were thick, which showed that she had done a lot of work.
Hard-working women even have a faint medicinal smell on their bodies.
She stared at Jiang Xian hopefully.
Jiang Xian swallowed her refusal and said, "Where is it? Can you show me, ma'am?"
Jiang Xian knew that under normal circumstances, ordinary people woven homespun cloth, which was gray, rough, heavy, uncomfortable to wear, and not good-looking.
I can only make a quilt, which is feasible.
But this lady didn't seem to have an easy time. If she was right, there were probably patients who were taking medicine at home. Jiang Xian agreed and thought, it doesn't matter what the lady's cloth is made of, just buy it.
Anyway, she has money now.
Jiang Xian didn't know why she suddenly had a kind heart. Maybe her heart became softer and softer after she became more and more integrated into the Jiang family.
What's amazing is that she doesn't reject this change in herself.
Aunt Weng didn't expect that this girl was really kind-hearted. These two children were so dazzling. She just saw them passing by empty-handed and coming back with a bag of things, so she knew what they bought.
thing.
She thought to herself that these two children should have money, so she stepped forward to sell food. She was not very good at doing this. If the old man had not been ill and had taken too many medicines, and was really in a tight situation, she would not have taken the risk and did this.
Yes.
Unfortunately, the children are not interested in her food.
When she was anxious, she thought of what else she could sell at home...
Aunt Weng led the two of them home to see the cloth, feeling a little uneasy. Was she too hasty and took them home for the first time when they met?
Jiang Xian naturally saw the aunt's anxiety. She smiled and chatted with the aunt without any trace. After a few words, the aunt relaxed a little.
After a while, all three people arrived.
Jiang Xian took a look and saw that it was a small courtyard with black tiles and black bricks, and white painted walls. It was very neat.
Jiang Xian quickly took a look at the yard. Sure enough, there was a medicine stove in the corner, and under the eaves, there was also a loom with half-woven cloth on it.
Aunt Weng asked the two of them to sit down. Jiang Xian politely said that they didn't need to sit down, so they just stood in the yard and waited.
Aunt Weng didn't say anything and hurried back to the house to get the cloth.
Jiang Xian heard an old and weak voice coming from the east side of the house, as if he was asking: Who is outside?
Aunt Weng whispered a few words and came out with the cloth.
Jiang Xian looked down at the cloth and was a little surprised: "Madam, your cloth is pretty good."
This cloth is much brighter than homespun cloth, and the pattern is a red twill weave.
Making skirts and clothes are all beautiful.
The most important thing is that it is softer and lighter than homespun cloth. Even if it is worn close to the body, Jiang Xian feels that it is also comfortable.
Aunt Weng was overjoyed: "Really? I was a female worker in a textile factory before I retired, and I have been weaving cloth all my life."
The woven cloth can be sent back to the factory, and the factory will buy it back, but the price is really not high.
Jiang Xian glanced at the half-woven cloth. She seemed to see not only cotton threads, but also fine linen and even silk mixed in.
It can be seen that it takes a lot of effort to weave such a batch of cloth.
She smiled and asked Aunt Weng: "Auntie, how do you sell this? I want all of them, do you have any extra?"
The excitement on Aunt Weng's face was not fake. She was so excited that she couldn't speak. She nodded her head again and again:
"There are some, and there is a piece of white cloth and a piece of blue cloth."
With that said, she rushed into the house again, apparently to get a cloth.
After a while, she came out with two more pieces of cloth. Jiang Xian looked through them and found that they were indeed the same as the first batch of red plaid ones.
So, Jiang Xian readily agreed: "I want three of them, how much does it cost, aunt!"
Aunt Weng was a little stuck. She thought for a while: "Look, if the factory buys it back, it will be 25 cents per foot and half a foot of cloth."
But in fact, Aunt Weng can't make much money, because she still has to get cotton thread, silk thread, hemp thread, etc. from the factory. She still has to rely on others, and she is really good at her craftsmanship, so she gets a good job.
Jiang Xian thought of the cloth from the supply and marketing cooperative. The colors were gorgeous, but the quality was far inferior to Aunt Weng's. Those cloths cost only 45 cents per foot and a foot of cloth stamps...
One piece of cloth is four feet long, which is about forty feet, and three pieces are one hundred and twenty feet.
Jiang Xian raised her eyes and glanced at Aunt Weng, and asked: "Auntie, what do you think if I give you six cents per foot? But I don't have a cloth ticket..."
Aunt Weng was extremely surprised. She probably didn't expect Jiang Xian to pay such a high price: "This, this, this... Actually, fifty cents per foot is very good."
Jiang Xian took Aunt Weng's hand and said, "Auntie is good at craftsmanship. I will come here to buy cloth when I have the opportunity. Next time I come to visit, please don't turn me away."
He added: "It seems that the uncle is not in good health. Although I am young, my second uncle is a famous barefoot doctor in the village. If it is convenient, I can go in and help."
Aunt Weng was really surprised this time: "Who is your second uncle?"
Jiang Xian reported Uncle Jiang's name, and a flash of realization flashed across Aunt Weng's face, as if she had seen the savior:
"So it's Dr. Jiang's child? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Look at me...I'm still selling things in front of you..."
She pulled Jiang Xian and immediately started talking:
"I asked Dr. Jiang to see him the year before last and he was much better. But then, the old man was... and he got worse. Since then, he has been at home and has never had the chance to see Dr. Jiang again."
