After finally arriving at the county town, Bai Ling naturally wanted to take a stroll.
There are many people doing business in the county, and the passenger flow is large, so unless it is high-end products with high prices, it is cheaper than in the town.
With Bai Hongyun as a "coolie" here, Bai Ling bought a lot of things, but he didn't spend much money.
Bai Ling also made a special trip to the Hongtai Silver Building in the county and inquired about the prices of several sets of silver jewelry he designed. Finally, he bought a pair of silver lilacs for half a penny and asked the clerk to wrap them more nicely and put them quietly in the space.
inside.
After returning home, Bai Ling began to divide things. When Bai Wei couldn't bear to say something to Bai Ling, Bai Ling smiled and explained.
"These linen cloths have been eaten by mice. Buy one and get two. Anyway, they are kept for work. It's cost-effective to replace a piece if it is damaged. The coarse cloth I bought is a large piece of rag. It costs twenty yuan for a bag.
, enough for our family to make shoes for a year, and it is still strong. This fine cotton cloth originally cost 800 yuan a piece, but the store dyed it while storing it, and it was sold for 350 yuan a piece, so I bought more
some."
Bai Ling said as he opened the fine cotton cloth.
But what Bai Ling didn't say was that when she was in the county town, she specially paid Bai Hongyun, and then bought all the cloth that the store had sold out, spending a total of nearly ten taels of silver.
It's not that Bai Ling couldn't bear to give it to his family, but it's a waste to wear it when working on the farm. It's better to take some out occasionally so that the family can have more clothes to change.
The most important thing is to be prepared. If you encounter a bad year, money may not be able to buy it.
"Dad and mom will give some of these snacks to people who have helped our family in the past. As well as these jars of wine, our family will leave two jars for dad to drink or entertain guests when they come. The rest will be given to the village chief's house.
Send two altars, and some clan members will also send some, we can’t let others help us in vain." Bai Ling pointed to the remaining things.
"The relationship between people will last longer if they keep in touch with each other. You two girl made the right purchase." Mrs. Bai Liu smiled happily and started talking to Bai Sanshu about whom to send something to.
After the sisters put the cloth away, Bai Sanshu and his wife also discussed it. Bai Ling took out the silver lilac he bought and said, "The village chief's sister-in-law is getting married soon. This silver lilac was bought in the county."
Yes, mom will take it to add makeup when the time comes."
"It's so expensive to buy it in the county town!" Bai Wei smacked her tongue, no one in the family had ever worn silver.
Bai Ling stuck out her pink tongue. Bai Ling hadn't given out the silver jewelry that Shopkeeper Shen gave her last time to her family. Next time she goes to town, she should give it out to them.
"Half a penny." Bai Ling replied.
Bai Wei curled her lips and said nothing, then continued to pick up the soles of her shoes.
Although the two sisters are not good at needlework, they can still make women's shoes like Naina's soles, as long as they are strong enough and cannot be seen from the outside.
"Mom and Dad, to whom do we owe money, and how much do we owe in total?" Bai Ling suddenly thought of this question and spoke.
"When we were separated, I took five taels of silver from the village chief's house, half of it from your sixth uncle's house, one tael from Haizi's uncle's house..." Bai Sanshu blushed and told which family he had borrowed money from one by one.
, scratched his head and said: "A total of nine taels and ten cents. I have a lot of money these days, but I forgot to pay it back."
"When my parents go to deliver things later, let's pay back half as a family first. Tell them all that the rest will be paid off by the end of next year at the latest." After Bai Ling took the injection, she raised her head and looked confused.
The family member said: "Our family has some extra money now, but we have to pay it back all at once. I'm afraid it will make people worry too much, so it would be safer to divide it up."
"Sure, then just do what the second girl said." Bai Sanshu didn't quite understand, but felt that he was right to trust his daughter.
Taking advantage of the beautiful and dark weather, Bai Sanshu and his wife gave away all their things so as not to leave them at home to attract people's attention. When they returned the money, they also said a lot of words of thanks, which also made several families borrow money from them.
People who gave them money were very satisfied.
I don’t know whether it was because he was beaten by the village chief or for some other reason, but the old house has been quiet these days and has not asked the third house for money.
Bai Ling bought so many things on the day he went to the county town. Bai Sanshu and his wife worked together to send two packages of snacks to the old house. Otherwise, they would not look good on their faces, and more would be impossible.
Bai Ling, who has space at his disposal, has gained a lot every time he goes to the mountains.
Bai Ling unceremoniously tightened the space, including some birds, beehives, pheasants, etc.
It had only been half a month, and Bai Ling's space was no longer a chaotic and boring little world.
Now is the time for autumn, and there are almost no children over ten years old at the foot of the mountain, let alone adults.
In the eyes of farmers, making money from selling herbal medicines is only a temporary thing, and one year's harvest is the most important.
The one acre of low-grade land allocated to Sanfang was right behind their house. It was planted with corn, but they were not in a hurry to harvest it. They were still busy as before, but no one paid attention to it.
"Second girl, the cellar has been dug for several days and is almost dry. Dad will be able to repair the house today. When do you think he will buy food?" Bai Sanshu has been working a lot recently and is in good spirits.
Many of them smile every day and are used to asking Bai Ling about anything.
"Then let's go to town tomorrow." Bai Ling wanted to put the food at home on Ming Road, so naturally he wanted Bai Sanshu to go there in person. "After buying the food, dad will rest for two days. There's nothing to do about the courtyard wall."
in a hurry."
"Dad, I'm not tired. While the weather is still hot, I'm going to lay out the yard again and cover it with mud to make it more secure. I'm also going to take out the chicken pens and pig pens, so that I won't be too busy in the spring next year." Bai Sanshu said.
Then he spit some saliva on his hands, rubbed his hands and continued to put mud on the cracks in the wall.
Bai Ling handled the fish neatly, knowing that Bai Sanshu was very motivated at the moment, and didn't want to discourage him, so he said: "Okay, if dad is tired, just rest. It's important to take care of yourself. I'll give it to you tomorrow.
Bai Wei and dad went to buy food, and I tidied up the house to see what else I could buy. When dad is free, we will buy everything before winter starts, so we can have a warm winter."
"Okay, listen to my daughter." Bai Sanshu responded naively, and became more energetic in working.
During dinner, Bai Sanshu explained that he was taking Bai Wei to buy food.
Bai Wei glanced at Bai Ling in surprise, and when she saw her blinking at him, she responded.
When he went back to the house to sleep at night, Bai Ling took ten taels of silver and handed it to Bai Wei, explaining: "Dad's legs and feet are not good. You bought a lot of food this time, so just hire a car to come back. My parents are soft-tempered, so take the silver
Go shopping for them. If you meet someone from the old house, I'm afraid the money and things will belong to them. When we go to town from now on, one of us will always follow."
"Well, don't worry, I won't let anyone take advantage of me." Bai Wei put the money under the pillow and said with a small fist.
During this time, the family had enough to eat, no longer had to worry about money, and was nourished by the spiritual spring water. Their complexion was much better, and they also gained weight.
Although the family is still on the thin side, it will be much better than when Bai Ling just traveled through time. (To be continued)
