The days passed day by day, and soon it was Gu Chengyu's day of rest.
Early in the morning, Gu Dad and Gu Chengli, Gu Chengyi and the others split into two groups. Gu Chengyu followed Gu Dad to the town to welcome the guests, while Gu Chengli and the others took Honeysuckle to the county seat.
Originally, there wasn't much honeysuckle this time, so Father Gu wanted to sell it directly to Renhetang in the town, but when he thought that Gu Chengchi's legs were almost healed and the scar removal cream could be used, he had no choice but to let the boss and second child take care of it.
Went to the county seat with honeysuckle flowers.
In fact, Gu Chengyu had been adding a small amount of spiritual spring water to Gu Chengchi's medicine, and Gu Chengchi's burns recovered very well. However, Gu Chengyu did not dare to add more, so there was still a little scar on the skin of his thigh. Li Langzhong was surprised when he saw it.
How can the medicine be so effective? They also said that you only need to buy one bottle of scar removal cream.
The honeysuckle picked this time was not as much as last time, only twenty-five kilograms. The Gu family left five kilograms for Mr. Li, and asked the boss and others to take the rest to the county town. The money from selling the honeysuckle could only be enough.
Just buy a box of scar removal cream!
Here, Gu Chengyu and Mr. Gu sold the dried fungus to Shopkeeper Liang, for a total of thirteen pounds and six taels, and received fifty-four taels of silver. Shopkeeper Liang told them that the restaurant has been full of seats these days with these three dishes.
He asked the Gu family to quickly dry out more dried fungus, and it seemed that he had tasted the benefits. At this time, Gu Chengyu didn't know how much money Shopkeeper Liang had sold for a plate of cold fungus, otherwise he would have gritted his teeth and cursed the profiteer.
After coming out of the restaurant, Mr. Gu planned to go directly to Craftsman Sun. Today, Mr. Gu made an appointment with the craftsmen and wanted to take them to see the terrain and estimate how much material would be needed.
Originally, Gu Chengyu didn't need to follow these things, but Gu Chengyu wanted to go to Tangji Cloth Store. Last time he saw the cloth in Tangji Cloth Store, but he was in a hurry and didn't have time to choose. He wanted to buy some cloth for his family.
He was a little embarrassed because he was the only one wearing fine cotton. Even his father didn't have decent clothes when he went out.
"Dad! Let's go to Tangji Clothing Village!"
"Why are you going to Buzhuang? Do you want to see shopkeeper Zhou?" Dad Gu was a little confused.
"You'll know when you get there!" Gu Chengyu wouldn't say that he was going to buy cloth, otherwise his father would definitely not be willing to go.
The two of them were driving an ox cart, and on the way, Gu Chengyu bought two packs of peach blossom cakes from a pastry shop. Everyone gave them jade pendants last time, so they couldn't lose their etiquette when they visited again this time, although others might not like it.
The cakes they received could only be a sign of respect for relatives and friends. When they arrived at Buzhuang, they parked the cart directly at the place where the cattle were tied last time.
Gu Chengyu and the others entered the shop and were greeted by a familiar waiter. "Huh? It's you? But you want to see shopkeeper Zhou? Unfortunately today, shopkeeper Zhou went to the county town to replenish goods and is not in the shop." They said to each other.
Remember that the goods of Cloth Shop are all replenished in the county and then transported by ships on the dock, so Cloth Shop often needs people to carry the goods at the dock.
"My little brother has a good memory!" Father Gu didn't know what his son was here for. This kid always had an idea, so he wouldn't do anything random anyway.
"What a coincidence! These two packets of pastries are for shopkeeper Zhou. Since he is not here, please wait until he comes back before handing them over to him." Gu Chengyu handed the pastries wrapped in his hand to the clerk.
"Actually, in addition to visiting shopkeeper Zhou today, we also want to buy some materials to make clothes. I don't know if I have any more affordable materials. Can you introduce them to us?"
When the guy heard that he was here to do business, he immediately became happy.
"Uncle and little brother, don't worry, our Tang Ji has always been a childlike person. Take a look first and see which one you like. I will cut it for you." The waiter put the pastries in his hands and followed Gu Chengyu and others, ready to introduce them at any time.
"Xiaobao! Why are you here to buy cloth? We have clothes at home, so there is no need to buy them!" Father Gu did not expect that Xiaobao wanted to buy cloth. During this period, the family had many places to spend money, and they all spent it.
It’s a big deal, so save it if you can!
"Dad! Our family's life is getting better, so we don't need this little money. You and your eldest brother and the others always wear decent clothes when you go out, not to mention mom and the others haven't bought new clothes for several years. The clothes of the eldest brother and the others are too short.
The remaining little ones haven’t worn new ones either. They’ve picked up old clothes and remade them. Today I’ll buy a pair for them all. I can spend money and earn money, so dad doesn’t have to worry.”
After listening to Gu Chengyu's words, Father Gu thought that Mrs. Lu had never worn new clothes for so many years with him, and she was reluctant to buy them even for the Chinese New Year, so that's it! The family had made a lot of money recently, which made everyone happy.
Gu Chengyu browsed the colors on the shelf, thinking that men always use these two colors, and there is nothing to choose from, unless it is silk and satin. There are many colors of silk and satin, as well as patterns and dark patterns. Gu Chengyu chose sky blue for the young men in the family.
and light grey, I chose azure for Dad Gu, and Qiuxiang for Lu. All the girls in the family were pink, but only the second sister chose lotus color. After all, the second sister was the elder of Da Ya and the others, and they were the same color.
It doesn't make sense for the two nieces to dress the same, but when thinking about the women in the family, they are in trouble again. The eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law are of the same age. Buying a darker one looks old-fashioned, and buying a shallow one does not suit their age. In the end, Gu Chengyu fell in love with a snow-green one.
As for the material, I thought about dressing my two sisters-in-law in fine cotton and coarse cloth that was darker than this, so that I could choose the right color.
Gu Chengyu didn't take a closer look. Although he didn't object to buying fabrics, he was now dressed as a boy and a little boy, which would inevitably look a little awkward to outsiders. He decided to bring the women at home with him next time. It would be better for anyone to buy it.
He has more experience.
I chose fine cotton cloth, and also chose coarse cloth of the same color. The Gu family is a farmer, and rough work is indispensable. Cotton cloth is not wear-resistant, and coarse cloth is more durable.
"Okay! Xiaobao! What are you buying so many for? It's a lot of money!" Seeing Gu Chengyu choose so many, Father Gu immediately felt sick. He had forgotten that this kid can make money and mess around.
Flowers, look at how many I bought in just a short time.
"Dad! I'm going to buy it anyway, so don't I have to buy everything at home? You have the number of rulers and so on. Calculate how many feet you need to buy?" Gu Chengyu didn't know anything about the measurements of clothes in ancient times.
, there are ready-made clothes for sale, who would buy cloth to make clothes?
"I didn't even count that!" Dad Gu patted his head. Women were doing this kind of thing. How could he, a man, know this?
"Uncle, don't forget me! I know! How many people do you have in your family? I'll do the math for you."
It's rare for a clerk to meet such a big customer. Although he buys fine cotton, silk and satin are also easy to sell, right? They are worn by rich families. Who can afford it for ordinary people? Rich families can't buy materials every day! So!
The most popular items sold in the shop are coarse cloth and cotton cloth.
Gu Chengyu thought about it for a while, "How much silver are your coarse cloths and fine cotton cloths?"
"Coarse cloth costs three hundred and fifty cents per piece, and fine cotton cloth costs eight hundred cents per piece. You and our shopkeeper are also old acquaintances. If you buy more, I will give you less. However, it can only be less.
At one point, you all know that I am just a buddy and I can’t make any decisions.”
Gu Chengyu knew that the waiter knew that they had some relationship with Shopkeeper Zhou, so he probably wouldn't charge them too much, so there was no need to bargain.
"Then give me a piece of this sky-blue muslin cloth, a piece of light gray coarse cloth, a piece of pink coarse cloth and a piece of fine cotton cloth, and you can cut the rest for me!"
