Chapter 53 Itchy ears "Here are three oil-saving lamps and ten candles."
Yan Funing dug out her purse in advance, took out a bunch of copper plates, quickly counted them, and handed them over.
"You bought so much cloth, why don't you buy the lamp next to it?" The shopkeeper brought a copper lamp and introduced it. He opened the small door of the lamp with his delicately manicured nails. "This lamp is exquisitely made. You can open it here..."
Yan Funing smiled and shook her head: "No need, we like ceramics."
The shop owner said: "Ceramic ones are easy to break."
Her words seemed to be addressed to Yan Funing, but her eyes glanced at Fu Ciyi from time to time.
The owner of the shop is a young woman, more than [-] years hair was combed meticulously, her face was made up, and her lips were smeared with lipstick.
The way she looked at people made Yan Funing feel uncomfortable.
He unconsciously leaned against Fu Ciyi and said, "We will use it carefully."
The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows, thinking that he was stingy and stingy.
He took the copper plate, picked it with his fingernails, and counted them one by one.
After a long while, he said: "A total of 290 Wen, that's right." After a pause, he asked, "How about a wick?"
Yan Funing shook her head: "No more for now."
The wick I bought last time can be used for a long time, so don’t rush to buy it.
The shopkeeper said "hmm" and took down three ceramic lamps and ten candles from the shelf.
She originally wanted to wrap them together so that she could save a piece of brown paper.
However, there were many lamps and candles this time, so she reluctantly took another piece of brown paper and wrapped two packages separately.
Yan Funing gently put the two paper bags into her backpack. When she saw the shopkeeper looking at Fu Ciyi again, she pulled his sleeves: "My husband is holding so much cloth, so be careful when walking on the threshold."
The piece of cloth stood up high, just blocking his sight, revealing his impeccable profile.
Fu Ciyi's ears suddenly itched.
When this woman introduces him to others, she will say that he is her husband, and she will also call him husband in front of her mother.
This is the first time for two people to address each other privately when they get along! He had no idea that the female shopkeeper sitting at the counter had looked at him a hundred and eighty times.
The couple came out of the scented wax shop. The female shop owner took out a bronze mirror from the counter drawer and looked at it from side to side.
She touched her face, she looked pretty.
What made her depressed was that she thought they were brother and sister, but unexpectedly they were husband and wife!
Then he spat: "How can such a stingy woman marry a handsome husband?"
Remembering how pretty the young lady looked when she was naked, she was so angry that she stuffed the bronze mirror back into the drawer. - Walking on the street, Fu Ciyi turned his head to the side of the cloth: "It's strange, I thought you would bargain every time you go to a store."
But this was not the case just now.
Yan Funing said: "The owner of the scented wax shop looks unkind, I don't want to waste words with her."
After saying that, he saw a vendor selling rapeseed at a street stall, so he quickly walked a few steps and asked, "Old lady, how do you sell rapeseed?"
The old woman squatted on the curb beside the street, picking up several small paper packages with trembling fingers.
"It costs five cents a bag, and there are more rapeseed seeds, which can be planted in an acre of land. Pumpkin seeds are less, only a dozen or so, and they all cost five cents a bag. There are many other varieties, all of which are made by our own family. The seeds produced by the vegetables are guaranteed to be planted well!”
Yan Funing knelt down and selected green rape seeds, long cowpea seeds, green bean seeds, pumpkin seeds, as well as chives and pepper seeds.
"Old lady, I want these six kinds." She took out thirty coins and gave them to her, "count them."
After receiving thirty cash in one go, the wrinkles on the old woman's face deepened: "Girl, you are the first one to buy today, so you have opened my business."
"Just open it and business will pick up."
Yan Funing put six packets of seeds into her backpack. As soon as she and Fu Ciyi left, someone asked the old woman to buy rapeseeds.
The old woman squinted at Yan Funing's back and said happily: "What a good girl, she really came to do business!"
Yan Funing saw someone walking around with a cloth on the street, which was very inconvenient, so she suggested: "Why don't you go and sit in Li's car first, and I have to buy some other things."
"No problem." Fu Ciyi said.
"Then I'll buy it faster." She first went to the roasted seeds and nuts shop and bought a pack of sugar-roasted chestnuts, which cost her [-] yuan.
Thinking of changing the dishes and having enough food and food, I went to the meat stall.
The stall owner greeted her happily: "Girl, have you finished eating the ribs at home?"
"not yet."
Yan Funing smiled, this person was specifically looking at her to buy ribs.
Also, few people buy ribs to eat.
"So what should I buy today?"
"How to sell pork belly?"
"Pork belly costs eighty cents per catty."
Yan Funing was surprised: "Why is it more expensive than both fat and lean meat?"
"Girl, you don't know something. The school supplies pork belly. This period of time is over, it's when the school starts, and it's also the peak season for pork belly."
Yan Funing understood and said: "Then it's still half a catty of fat meat and one catty of lean meat." After that, he took out the copper coins first, "85 Wen, here you go."
The stall owner handed her a bamboo basket and asked her to throw the coins directly into it.
Yan Funing smiled: "Don't you count?"
"No need to count, just throw it away, I believe you."
He started slicing the meat with his knife.
Yan Funing stacked 85 copper plates into four stacks of twenty, with the remaining five stacked in the stacked in the corner of the bamboo basket, people can know the quantity at a glance.
Seeing how meticulous she was, the stall owner gave her an extra piece of fat just like last time.
He looked into her backpack and found that there were already a lot of things, so he wrapped the meat in two layers of brown paper.
Seeing this, Yan Funing smiled and thanked: "Thank you, boss, my business is booming!"
"Xinglong Xinglong." The stall owner leaned over and covered his mouth with his hands and said, "Every time the girl comes, my business will get better. You have to come often."
"real or fake?"
"Really!" The stall owner nodded, "Look at how many people are looking at my meat stall on the street."
Yan Funing turned her head and saw that many women buying vegetables were staring at Fu Ciyi coquettishly and shyly.
Of course, many men looked at her.
After they left, the group of people swarmed to the meat stall.
The meat stall owner waved to her happily and pointed to the crowd, as if to say: "Am I right?" 】
Yan Funing smiled and shook her head. Seeing that Fu Ciyi had been following her silently, she added, "Just wait, I will buy it right away."
"Okay, no rush." He said.
Yan Funing bought some dried tofu at a tofu stall. A pound of oily tofu cost eighteen bought two kilograms of taro and a handful of celery from a peasant woman for 22 Wen.
Things were put into the backpack, which immediately became full.
Fu Ciyi asked her: "Can you carry it on your back?"
Yan Funing pinched her shoulders, pursed her lips and said, "Yes."
Fu Ciyi frowned, how could such a delicate person move his back?
Then he held five pieces of cloth with one hand, picked up the basket on his back, and strode away.
Walking quite fast.
Yan Funing trotted to catch up: "I can really carry it on my back."
