Chapter 74 Shopping

The curtains at home are still lacking in fabric. Because Lu Jingyan didn't know what the curtains looked like, he didn't prepare enough fabric. After Chaole made a sheet and a quilt, there was no enough curtains. So Lu Jingyan took back all the things he had made them into bedding.

The owner of the cloth shop is a middle-aged woman with a gentle smile on her face. Seeing Chaole's posture is like a big customer, she quickly introduced several materials she wanted to Chaole.

There are not many types of fabrics in the town, after all, the consumption capacity is there. Fortunately, the curtains do not require brocade, and Chaole chose cotton cloth, all of which are plain. He originally wanted white, but white is an unlucky color in this era, so he could only buy more plain colors and go back to make decorations by himself.

"Boss, do you have yarn here?" Chaole thought to get some yarn to decorate.

Hearing this, the boss was stunned, couldn't help but look at Chaole for a few times, and then said, "There is only one, and we rarely talk about buying yarn in our town, so there is no extra inventory in the store."

"I'll buy it when the time comes." Before, we used yarn in the doors and windows at home, but Lu Jingyan meant it was only used on those doors and windows, so he didn't take it too much. Now, I heard Chaole's words still needed, so I said to Chaole.

When she heard Lu Jingyan's words, she nodded to Le, "Okay, then you think you'll get a few more horses at that time." Anyway, she now knows that this man has a foundation, so she is not afraid of giving advice.

The owner of the cloth shop next to him stared at him and carefully looked at the clothes of the two of them. The materials were very average. They were considered wealthy in the town, but they were not enough to see them when they arrived in the city. Why do you need so much light gauze? That thing is expensive and small, which is really the most unprofitable thing.

But he was just a customer who came to buy things and could not take the initiative to ask. After pursing his lips for a while, he still kept his words back in his heart.

After buying the fabric she needed, Chaole planned to go to the book shop. She went to the book shop in the town once, but she remembered the place clearly and found it.

The book shop in the town is very small, and there are only a few people coming and going, especially girls. So when the boss saw Chaole come in, he recognized it, but after a moment, he couldn't help frowning. He just looked at the rough outline from a distance and thought he had been in the store, but now he was close to him, but he always felt that he had read it wrong.

Looking at the person who was picking books with me, thinking about the last time she went to the book shop but didn't come. She seemed to be very resistant and couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you come in with me last time?"

Now the two are very familiar with each other, but he wants to tell Chaole something to say to Chaole and he is not happy to listen to it.

Now that she asked herself, she said, "I used to think that reading too many books was useless."

"How come you have such an idea? Now, do you still have such an idea?" Chaole's eyes were filled with astonishment. Looking at Lu Jingyan, he felt that this man's thoughts were strange.

After being looked up and down by Chaole's strange gaze, Lu Jingyan's face was full of openness.

He stopped pursuing the truth and bought some books that two children could use. Because he remembered what Qin Xiujie said that day, Chaole remembered in his heart, and asked Lu Jingyan what books he needed for Tongsheng and Xiucai.

"Don't you like to communicate with the children in everything? Today, I plan to make a decision for them directly?" After hearing Chaole's words, Lu Jingyan couldn't help asking. Yesterday, Qin Xiujie talked to him about Lu Fan's study.

While looking through the books on the shelf, Chaole replied: "It is harmless to learn more, and it is indeed unwilling to take the exam for fame and fortune."

The two picked more than ten books, and when they went to the counter to pay the bill, the boss was also shocked. After all, these books cost nearly 100 taels of silver, and the most expensive one cost seventeen taels. They sold nearly 100 taels of silver at one time. This is the first time the boss has opened a book shop.

However, the boss was naturally excited to make money by making money. He moved quickly and sent the two to leave.

When I walked back, I couldn't help but touch my head. I remember that the last time a girl who was very similar to this female customer came here to read books. After reading the regional academy for a whole afternoon, I didn't buy it. After all, the saying that books are more expensive than gold is not fake. Students from poor families all come to copy books and read them, or directly pay some threshold fees to come and read them every day.

The reason why I was impressed by the girl who looked at the regional academy was because he still remembered that girl asked about the price of the regional academy. When he offered a price of fifteen taels, the girl widened her eyes and wanted to beat him up.

"What else do you need to buy?" With everything in his hand, Lu Jingyan followed Chaole forward with a good temper.

After looking around, I found that except for the seasonings in this era, the rest of the seasonings at home are basically produced by her. However, she still feels a little regretful that there is no MSG chicken essence in this era.

"Lu Jingyan, are there any cities near the sea here?" I have been looking at this street countless times. There are no seafood shops. As for the crayfish she often eats, it should have been salvaged from the river by someone else.

"Do you want to eat seafood?" Lu Jingyan was very good at grasping the central idea and immediately asked Chaole.

If you want some seafood to be seasoning, you should be considered as wanting to eat seafood. Thinking about it, you simply nodded and admitted it.

"I'll ask someone to buy it." Thinking of waiting for this period, he simply took Chaole out for a walk. After all, seafood should be eaten fresh and delicious in the coastal areas.

"Do you understand how to make some shrimps? They are very small shrimps. If you have any salvaged ones, don't waste them. I want that thing to be useful." The fishermen who thought that fishing would definitely not look down on those shrimps, and were afraid that they would send her a lot of seafood, but there would be no shrimps.

Chaole can always make many strange things, but they are undoubtedly delicious before. Lu Jingyan has become accustomed to it, so he didn't ask much and nodded in agreement.

The two chatted all the way to the carriage. The coachman was waiting here. Seeing Lu Jingyan's bags in his hand, he hurried forward to take the things and put them on the carriage.

The ones you want to buy and what you plan to buy have already made it clear to Lu Jingyan. Chao Legang was going to speak back, and in a blink of an eye he saw a familiar figure. He blinked and couldn't help but follow him.

Here, Lu Jingyan had just put down what he had in his hand and didn't see Chaole's figure when he got out of the carriage.

...

Following the figure ahead, he stumbled into an alley. A small road from the entrance of the alley to this courtyard was bumpy. There was a lot of sewage on the ground, which should have been discharged from the homes of the residents living in this alley. The weather gradually became hotter, and the sewage emitted a stench, which made Chaole unable to help but cover his mouth and nose.

The footsteps stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard, and the wooden door at the door made an unpleasant creaking sound because of its age.
