Tian Guihua stopped teasing Sun Yuzhen and changed the topic: "Bring a pair of shoes to my Zhuzhu, his heels have calluses. Bring two pairs of socks and two silk flowers."
Socks were given to the eldest brother’s two sons, Tian Shitou and Tian Mumu, and silk flowers were given to the younger brother’s two daughters, Tian Xiufen and Tian Xiufang.
"Xiaohua, go to the inner room and get a pair of shoes for your Aunt Osmanthus."
"What do you want, Sister Liu?"
"Sister Sun, I want to buy some bedding. "I want some more cloth."
Ms. Liu's needlework is pretty good. She plans to sew some quilt covers herself, but the family really lacks everything.
"Liu Meizi, how many kilograms does this quilt need? Do you need new or old cotton? What kind of cloth do you need? It's hot today, so it's appropriate to buy linen, but if you want to make underwear If so, it’s better to buy cotton cloth.”
Mrs. Sun talked a lot. Mrs. Liu was a little confused when she heard this. Usually, Chen Daan would buy whatever she wanted, or else Mrs. Zhou would give her the rest of her clothes.
The most important thing is, what is the price of these things? She looked at Chen Wanbai helplessly.
"Mom, buy new cotton. We can use it for a long time."
"Aunt Sun, can we buy half a piece of cotton? It's not easy to store at home. Give us another piece of linen. And all the needles and threads. As for the bedding, I’ll buy two and three pounds.”
“Okay, Auntie, I’ll get you something.” Mrs. Sun took a closer look at Chen Wanbai, she was really a smart girl.
A pound of cotton costs one cent and six cents, but for the sake of sweet-scented osmanthus, it costs one cent and three cents; cotton cloth costs three cents a piece, and half a piece only costs one cent and two cents; linen costs one cent and five cents. Divide one horse, count one penny and two cents. In addition, some needles, thread, and many other small items were added, and the total amount was one to two to three cents.
Mrs. Liu took out the silver from her arms, which was among the twenty taels of silver she had found earlier. This time she brought five taels of silver and hid the remaining fifteen taels.
"There is a lot of these things, how do you bring them back?"
Mrs. Sun saw that several people came here empty-handed, so this is a lot of things.
"Let's put it in your store first, and then we'll buy some other things. Then we'll take them away together. Some villagers in our village drove an ox cart and brought us here."
" Aunt Tian, why don't you just sit here with Aunt Sun while my mother and I go shopping?"
"I'm familiar with the town, so I'll take you there to save you from being tricked by that evil person. "
"Go quickly, I don't have time to entertain you here. "
Tian Guihua said to her just now when she was taking Tian Guihua into the inner room. After hearing about the matter of Liu's mother and daughter, I came here today to buy daily necessities. I feel like I'm a poor person, so I lost a lot of money from the pile of things just now.
And next time I can go with Tian OsmanthusIt's okay to talk again, but the affairs of Liu's mother and daughter are more important.
The three of them left the cloth village and walked to the market.
"Xiaobai, what else do you want to buy?"
"Aunt Tian, we need to buy some farm tools and plan to open up some land near the house to grow vegetables. "
"I'm really not familiar with these..." Tian Guihua was a little embarrassed. It was only men who bought farm tools at home. She didn't know where to buy them or the price. how.
"We can ask more companies."
Just as he was talking, he saw Wan Chaogui around the corner.
Wan Chaogui also saw the three people coming towards him and asked, "Have you finished buying your things? Do you want me to pick them up for you?"
"Not yet. We're going to buy some farm tools, but we don't know where to buy them."
"Come with me, I have a familiar family." Wan Chaogui often shoots arrows there, and we are quite familiar with him.
The three of them arrived at the blacksmith shop. Before they even got close, a heat wave hit them like a raging wave.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
The blacksmith shop was filled with various tools and materials, and the fire was burning brightly, making a crackling sound.
In the blacksmith shop, four or five people were busy. Everyone was soaked to the skin and their faces were shiny, all reflected by the sweat.
Among them, a burly blacksmith was standing next to the furnace, holding a big hammer and constantly hitting the red-hot iron.
Beside the master blacksmith, there is an assistant who constantly puts iron blocks into the furnace to make the fire burn more vigorously.
"Old Zhengtou, let me buy some farm tools."
The burly blacksmith didn't even raise his head, and shouted loudly: "Behind. Xiaoma, you take the lead. They go to choose."
Immediately a little boy who looked quite thin came over: "Uncle Wan, come with me here."
Come. In the backyard, there is a row of farm tools placed against the wall. Xiao Ma pointed at these and said:
"They are all here. The ones over there have been booked, and the ones here have just been built."
Chen Wanbai glanced over, There is a dazzling array of products, and the quality is quite complete.
As small as kitchen knives, scissors, and sickles, as large as plows, rakes, shovels, and winnowing...it can be said that they are all available.
She looked at the farm tools carefully and began to think about what they needed.
Those large farming equipment are of no use at the moment, and there is no farmland at home. Just buy some sickles, hoes, and rakes.
I also thought that the iron tools of this era were not cheap, and I was afraid that I didn’t have enough money in my pocket, so I decided to buy some more important ones first.
She stepped forward to choose a suitable hoe, but when she looked at the hoe, she hesitated.
There are three main types of hoes here: board hoe, hoe hoe, and strip hoe. They are used for shallow digging, weeding, and deep digging respectively.
Thinking that she had observed the land when she was collecting firewood yesterday, there were stones in the soil in some areas and there were many weeds.
Is there no pickaxe or hoe here?
Wan Chaogui saw her looking back and forth, as if she was looking for something.
"Xiaobai, what are you looking for?"
"Uncle Wan, are there any other hoes here?"
Wan Chaogui also didn't know. Chen Wanbai thought that these hoes were not suitable for use, so he asked the boy: "Xiao Ma, do you have any other hoes here?"
"Uncle Wan, the hoes are all here. They are used by both men and women," Xiao Ma said, pointing to a dozen hoes.
"Brother Xiao Ma, I would like to ask, is there a hoe with a pointed end and a flat end? Is there also a three-tooth rake? This rake is too big." Chen Wanbai pointed at the wide and flat Short iron rake, whispered.
The iron rake she was referring to had five teeth, was relatively wide and short. She thought it would be tiring to use it, after all, they were a woman and a child.
Besides raking grass and breaking soil, it had no other functions. She remembered that the iron rakes used in later generations could not only plow the ground, but the long-handled ones could also dig sweet potatoes, and the short-handled ones could also dig up sweet potatoes. You can dig peanuts.
Xiao Ma looked at Chen Wan Bai, scratched his head, showed a hint of doubt, and said: "Little girl, I have only been here not long, and I don't know very well. Wait a minute, I will ask my master "
Chen Wanbai had a look of anticipation on her face after hearing Xiao Ma's words. She nodded and said, "I'll bother you then."
Xiao Ma smiled. He said, "You're welcome." After that, he turned and left.
Wan Chaogui’s family had no land, so he only had vegetable plots in the front and back yards. He didn’t do much research on farm tools, so he didn’t find it strange.
