Song Laoer's mind was spinning fast, and he immediately realized that his method was wrong. No matter how smart the mule was, it would not be able to understand the master's words immediately. It would have to cooperate for a long time to have a tacit understanding, and this would definitely require more direct instructions.

After shouting a few times in line with the boss's method of patting the mule, the mule immediately understood it. There was no need for Song Laoer to keep patting it. This mule was really smart.

Song Laoer looked at the mule as if he was seeing silver. His eyes were filled with surprise.

Pei Yu and Song Heng could see clearly from behind, but Song Heng didn't react much. He was just surprised. In his previous life, he had many top-quality horses. Which one is not smarter than this mule?

Pei Yu was very curious, so he sat forward and watched his two sons driving. Although the roads in the town were also made of yellow soil, they were very smooth, and the mule cart went smoothly without any bumps.

After a while, they arrived at the main street full of shops. Song Laoer continued to drive forward. There was a parking lot at the end of the street.

"Let's go and buy some cloth first." Pei Yu saw the cloth shop in front of her and walked in first.

"What kind of material does Auntie want? What is it used for? Just tell me your request and I will find it for you right away." The waiter in the store is very enthusiastic and said it smoothly as soon as he entered the door.

Pei Yu agreed upon hearing this, "The materials used to make clothes for the elderly should mainly be comfortable, as well as soft and comfortable lining materials. Those making clothes for newborns should also use adult materials, and those making outerwear should be used by both men and women." "

Pei's father and mother are so kind to their daughter, so of course she has to help the original owner fulfill her filial piety. She happens to have to pay back the money tomorrow. She can't afford the food for the Pei family, but she can still afford the old man's. She will buy some pastries and candies later. Give the Pei family a few rooms.

Wu's due date is coming soon. Although she had asked her boss to buy cotton cloth to make clothes, now that she has money, she wants to buy more good ones.

The child's skin is tender and the conditions in ancient times are not good. She wants to prepare as best as possible. She is very excited to be a grandma for the first time.

Hearing this, the waiter pointed to a few pieces of fine cotton cloth, "This is a newly arrived high-grade cotton cloth. It is much softer than ordinary cotton cloth. You can touch it and see."

The waiter didn't just say it casually. You can actually touch it. The ones currently on the table are all small square towels, just for customers to try and choose. After confirming that they want them, they take the cloth from the shelf and cut it.

This is a method that a little girl taught the shopkeeper a few days ago. It is really convenient to use this method. You don't have to worry about the cloth being damaged by the rough hands of the village women, and you can still do business smoothly.

He also had a basis for recommending fabrics. Although this kind of cotton has the reputation of being top-grade, it is just cotton. It is not expensive and can be afforded by wealthy people.

He just saw these people getting off the mule cart. The mule cart is not an ox cart. It can only carry three or four people at most. It is not used to solicit customers. It is usually owned by the family.

Although the dress of this family does not look outstanding, the silver bracelet worn by the woman is of novel style. It seems that a family with some wealth can afford it.

Pei Yu reached out and touched it. It was indeed soft. After trying the feel, he asked, "What's the price of this white cotton cloth?"

"Twenty cents per foot." The waiter simply quoted the price without saying anything else.

"Okay, I want half a piece." Pei Yu thought about it and accepted it. It is nine coppers more expensive than ordinary white cotton.

The cloth comes in a roll of fifty feet. Half a piece is twenty-five feet, but three feet is only one meter, which is just over eight meters. Four hundred and ten cents is a bit expensive.

Although the width of the cloth is four feet wide, which is about one meter and three meters, a baby not only needs to be dressed, but also has to make a small quilt and the like. Even the diaper pocket is indispensable. It takes up a lot of fabric, and even eight meters is not enough.

not enough.

But she still decided that her grandson would use this kind of fabric from now on. This kind of cotton feels the same as the pure cotton from the previous life and is a good material that is skin-friendly.

If you can't afford it, of course you will hesitate. If you can afford it, you can't lose it to your children, as long as it doesn't exceed what you can afford.

As for the ordinary white cotton cloth left at home, Wu uses it to make underwear and diapers for the children. Women who are breastfeeding must also wear them comfortably. Although the quality is not as good as this, they are still soft and comfortable. Use good diapers.

Children are not prone to red buttocks either.

"Oh, well, take a look first. The materials here are all for coats, and the price is ten to thirty cents." After the waiter finished speaking, he stepped back silently, then turned around to cut the fabric. This is

Good deal.

Boss Song opened his mouth when he heard the twenty cents, but he didn't say anything. His mother must have bought it for his son.

Pei Yu reached out and touched various materials and looked at the colors. The price range mentioned by the waiter was within her acceptable range.

When the waiter came back, Pei Yu pointed at the dark indigo, navy blue muslin, dark green fine silk cloth and light green fine dense cloth on the side and asked: "What are the prices of these?"

The waiter glanced at it and smiled: "Thirty coins for fine silk, thirteen coins for fine cotton."

Not surprisingly, the outer garment material is more expensive than the pure white lining material. The outer garment material needs to be dyed, labor and pigments are all costs, not to mention it is made of silk.

Pei Yu thought for a while and said: "Then take half a piece of dark green fine silk, two and a half pieces of light green, one piece each of fine cotton, and then add a piece of ordinary fine cotton."

The fine cotton ones are for Pei's father and mother. The elderly can only wear dark colors. The thicker ones are for Song Henghe and his sons. She knew that Song Heng had already told the clan leader and his second uncle that he would take the imperial examination.

Well, once you are admitted as a scholar, you can be more particular about what you wear in the future.

When the time comes, the younger son will also have to pay attention to it, because that kid is going to take the first prize. If the younger son buys a good one, the others will naturally not treat him poorly.

Boss Song watched his mother buying half a horse and two horses at a time, and his heart was pounding. He knew that the silk ones must be for his father, and the fine cotton ones must be for their brothers, but they are not short of clothes.

Just buy it for his father. He really wanted to tell his mother that he didn't need to buy his own, but he didn't dare. His father looked at him several times.

"Where are these pink and light yellow ones?" Looking at the fresh colors, Pei Yu envied the two little girls. She couldn't wear them.

The waiter was already smiling from ear to ear, "These two are made of fine cotton, but the bright-colored ones are more expensive, at eighteen cents. This kind of tulle is more expensive, costing half a tael of silver."

Pei Yu silently regretted that she could no longer wear a gauze skirt for her little girl. Although the gauze was not that thin, it was light and translucent enough. It was still very elegant and flexible when layered over the long skirt. Unfortunately, it was too expensive.

"Take six feet each of the cotton ones." I will buy them for my daughter later.

When Boss Song heard Banliang, he was so frightened that he was about to speak. Fortunately, my mother still had a good idea and didn't buy anything impractical for my little sister.

It's not that Boss Song doesn't care about his sister, but in his opinion, the thin gauze is impractical, does not keep warm and does not cover the body, and buying it is a waste of money.

The waiter quickly responded: "Hey, is there anything else you want to see?"

The waiter smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Today he met a big customer.

Pei Yu thought for a while, but her daughter-in-law hadn't chosen yet, so she looked at it and said, "Take one of these light blue fine cottons, and that's it."

The two daughters-in-law should use the same kind of handle, so there won't be any problem. Everyone is the same, and it is absolutely fair. As for Gu Nuan, she is a little girl who has not yet been married. If they are not put together, they will not stand out.

When Boss Song heard the words "That's it," he immediately relaxed. It was great, my mother finally stopped squandering.

Song Heng looked at it, his eyes slightly darkened, but he didn't say anything.

The waiter quickly cut and packaged the fabrics. Pei Yu was still a little heartbroken after paying the money. She hadn't even covered her body with the money yet!

Spend money like water. Sure enough, spending money is much faster than making money!

The shopkeeper gave Pei Yu a large package of scrap fabrics, and they were all in large pieces, which somewhat comforted Pei Yu.

Boss Song was even more heartbroken. He put the cloth into the basket, feeling heartbroken and happy at the same time.

Mother Huanxi’s love and concern for the family’s money.

After leaving the cloth store, Pei Yu was resurrected with full health. She looked up and rushed to the grain store on the corner. She wanted to buy star anise, spices and various ingredients!

There are really few seasonings at home, just salt, sugar and soy vinegar!

She couldn't teach Wang how to cook many foods, it was too difficult.

After discovering that Wang had a talent for cooking, Pei Yu not only let Wang cook, but also guided Wang to cook from time to time, teaching Wang her cooking knowledge bit by bit. Although she was lazy, her cooking skills in her previous life were still excellent.

I have to make it, and I also remember a lot of recipes.

"Yu Niang, you and the boss are going to buy it. I'll go to the bookstore first." Song Heng lowered his head and said to Pei Yu.

Pei Yu looked at the ingredients in the store seriously without thinking much, and nodded quickly, "Go ahead, we'll find you after we finish shopping."

Song Heng smiled and said "Okay." Before leaving, he warned Boss Song with his eyes.

Boss Song stood aside aggrievedly. He felt sorry for his mother who was squandering money, but he didn't dare to stop her.

Pei Yu almost cried when she saw the various condiments. She didn't expect that there is MSG in this world, as well as chili peppers and peppercorns!

She was afraid that there would be no chili peppers before. She is not the kind of person who doesn't like spicy food, but she likes to eat slightly spicy and sour tastes. The days without chili peppers and only vinegar are too boring.

"Boss, go ask the second brother to drive the car over." Pei Yu looked at Boss Song carrying a basket of cloth, and then saw the grain store owner smilingly packing a bunch of spices for her, thinking that she had to buy some food.

Well, luckily I bought a mule cart, otherwise I wouldn’t know how to move it home.

Boss Song didn't hesitate and turned around to find his younger brother. He couldn't stop his mother so he stopped looking, which made him feel uncomfortable.

The place where the cart was tied was not far away and it was easy to find. When Mr. Song and Mr. Song drove the mule cart over, they saw their mother standing at the door of the grain store. The waiter happily moved a large bag of grain from the store and placed it on his mother's back.

Next to me, there was a bamboo basket. I took a look and saw that it was full of seasonings.

Boss Song sighed silently, and then moved things resignedly. His mother bought a bunch of seasonings that were not enough to satisfy his hunger. The prices of the seasonings were not cheap. His heart ached! That small bag could buy several bags of rice!

Song Mingyi watched silently as his elder brother exuded the aura of "I'm very heartbroken, but I can't say it", and then pursed his lips.

He was also anxious, but he didn't dare to say anything to avoid being beaten by his mother, so he could only hold it in without looking at his elder brother.

Pei Yu couldn't tell that the brothers felt sorry for her spending money like this, but there was no other way but to let them get used to it.

She couldn't tell them the true background of her family. After all, none of them had any scheming intentions. What if they were tricked?

At the corner not far away, Zhang Qiu held Bao Mei's back and faced the Song family's mother and son.

Seeing Zhang Qiu from the Song family hiding away, in her previous life, she would definitely not have cared and would have said hello with a smile.

But it's different here. A woman's reputation is greater than the sky. She knows that she no longer has a good reputation and can't bring trouble to Baomei.

"Didn't you say wait at the door? Why are you running around?" Chu Nanchen looked at the two sisters with unhappy expressions.

If Grandma Sun hadn't asked him to take care of them, he wouldn't have taken these two troublemakers!

He also had to face that face that made him inexplicably irritated and disliked him extremely!

"I'm sorry, I'm just afraid that waiting at the door will affect the store's business..." How could the clever Zhang Qiu admit that he was hiding from the Song family?

Baomei blinked her big eyes, pursed her small mouth slightly, and the water gradually filled up.

Chu Nanchen choked up when he saw this, "Forget it, don't you want to go to the spice shop? Let's go."
