Chapter Eleven Buying Cloth and Grain

Gu Shuixiu chuckled and said, "Waiter, take the cotton cloth you just mentioned and I'll take a look. In addition, we have to pick two or three linens and some coarse cloth. We also want to buy two quilts and two mattresses. You can take them out and take them out to see."

The waiter looked surprised, but he didn't expect that Gu Shuixiu and the others could buy so many things in such a dress. He immediately delivered the fabrics that Gu Shuixiu named to her.

The moisture-inducing cotton cloth that the waiter mentioned is actually fine cotton cloth, and the quality is really good. Unfortunately, it is because it is damp and has a bad smell on it. In fact, there is no problem if you dry it again. The main reason is that the fine cotton cloth is a little yellow, which cannot be handled.

Gu Shuixiu just wanted to buy cotton cloth to make underwear and towels. Whether it turns yellow is not very important to her. Moreover, the original piece of 40 yuan is only 20 yuan now, which can be said to be outrageously cheap.

Gu Shuixiu immediately bought five pieces in one go, and the coarse cloth was cheaper. One was only eighteen ounces. Gu Shuixiu bought five pieces of coarse cloth, one was navy blue, one was dark blue, one was grass green, one was maroon red, and one was tender yellow.

She also bought five of the linen cloth, all of which were dark colors. The clothes she made were mainly for Dong Chenghu to wear when hunting. In addition, she could also wear them when picking things on the mountain, so as not to feel distressed if the clothes were cut by the branches.

In addition, two quilts and two mattresses cost a total of one or two hundred and fifty cents.

Finally, I bought grain. Gu Shuixue bought so many things in the cloth shop, and was happy and gave them a fair grain shop.

The two rushed toward it.

Only after this question did I find out that a pound of rice costs eight cents, a pound of broken rice costs four cents, a pound of yellow rice costs five cents, a pound of white flour costs six cents, and a pound of black noodles costs four cents.

This broken rice is broken rice. The rice grains and rice flour can only be used to cook porridge. There is no way to eat it when cooking rice. Yellow rice is actually millet, which is commonly known as millet. However, the millet is not shelled at all. It is so uncomfortable to eat it! As for the black noodles, it is flour ground into wheat, shells and wheat, it must taste not very good!

Gu Shuixiu wanted to buy rice and white flour, but when she saw the price, she felt so painful. She had to eat this grain every day. If she really made all her money, it would be a waste of money! But now there is no way, so she can only buy some grain first.

"Shopkeeper, do you have food here in addition to selling grain?" Gu Shuixiu asked hesitantly.

The shopkeeper was stunned and advised earnestly: "I can show you if you want to plant grain, but the girl probably hasn't been in the fields! It's time for spring plowing, and it's too late if you want to plant it!"

Gu Shuixiu smiled shyly, looked at Dong Chenghu who was beside her and trusted her completely. She felt a little warm and made up her mind, saying, "It's okay, we have to buy food too. We can buy this kind of seeds first and spare, and we can plant it ourselves in the future. If the shopkeeper has vegetable seeds, I will buy some, too."

There was a shopkeeper who had a business in the office, so he didn't make the business rollout, so he immediately asked the waiter to go to the warehouse to get the seeds for Gu Shuixiu.

"Girl, I don't know what seeds you want, so I'll let the waiter take some of the seeds for you. If you like them, then talk about them."

Gu Shuixiu nodded happily.

After a while, the waiter took out a large sack from the warehouse, which contained many paper bags.

The shopkeeper took over and took out a bag of bags to introduce to Gu Shuixiu, "This is pumpkin seeds, this is white squid, this is carrot, this is mung bean, this cucumber, this is bitter gourd, this is water celery. By the way, there are also some fruit tree seeds here, this is lychee, this is peach, this is papaya, this is longan, this is apple, each is lychee, this is persimmon..."

Gu Shuixiu finally bought ten kilograms of rice, twenty kilograms of white flour, forty kilograms of broken rice, and also ordered a large bag of rice seeds and a large bag of wheat seeds. She also bought some other seeds from vegetables and fruits. Gu Shuixiu bought a lot of them and gave her a pack of unknown seeds.

"This is some strange seeds my son has found from outside. I don't know whether it is flowers, grass or vegetables. I don't plant things myself, just treat it as filling your head."

Gu Shuixiu thanked the shopkeeper repeatedly. The two went out of the grain shop. Dong Chenghu carried two large sacks of grain. Gu Shuixiu thought that the servants of the blacksmith shop, grocery shop, and cloth shop should have already delivered the things to the port. The two hurried over without stopping.

In order to transport these things back and prevent the grain and cotton cloth from getting wet, Dong Chenghu specially asked the fishermen for a large wooden board and a few straw mats, which cost more than a dozen cents.

The wooden boards were laid on the bamboo raft, then straw mats were placed on them, and the cloth was placed on them, and then covered with two straw mats, which were very tightly protected. The iron tools were pressed on them to prevent the straw mat from being blown away by the sea breeze. These things were added and reduced by three to four hundred kilograms, which was heavier than the pig, and the bamboo raft was able to withstand it.

Gu Shuixiu looked at the fishing boats and thought that she should buy one in the future so that the two of them could come to Linhai County.

The return journey was smooth and the two rushed back to the beach of Qingping Mountain before the sun set. In order to avoid the things wet by the waves when the bamboo raft was docked, Dong Chenghu specially parked the bamboo raft on a group of reefs a distance from the sea, and then went into the sea, and the sea water only reached Dong Chenghu's waist.

Gu Shuixiu supported the bamboo pole and prevented the bamboo raft from floating away. He resisted the grain quilt to the shore and finally returned to push the bamboo raft ashore.

After Gu Shuixiu got ashore, he looked at the high slope in front of him and looked at these things, and he was in a hurry.

"Chenghu, how can we get these things back?"

Dong Chenghusi paid for a moment and said, "It's okay, you look at the things first. I'll hurry back and get the vines. I'll pull it on it. You tie it down. If you pull it a few more times, it'll be done."

Gu Shuixiu's brows loosened, and there was no longer any worry in her eyes. Xin Gao Cailie went to pack up his things.

Dong Chenghu was very fast and appeared on the high slope in a moment. Gu Shuixiu quickly tied things with the vines he threw down and pulled them up.

The two of them struggled for a long time before they completely got the things to the forefront.

Next, it will be easy.

Dong Chenghu carried all the heavy things, so she helped to get some light things, such as cloth.

At this time, the sky was dark, but the two were particularly excited and didn't care about this at all. Gu Shuixiu lit the kerosene lamp, and the two of them could finally spend the night in the shed.

Gu Shuixiu couldn't wait to put the iron pot on a simple stove, put the rice on the fire and cooked rice. He also used the oil he just bought to stir-fry a plate of wild vegetables.

顾水秀吃着碗里饭,对未来充满希望,想当初她刚穿越过来,那简直就不是在过日子,说白了就是为了活命,如今她才有点生活的感觉.
