Chapter 544 Visiting the County (2)
After coming out of Chen's Cloth Shop, Ye Qingqing took Tang Xiaojing to Yang's Cloth Shop not far away.
When shopkeeper Yang saw Ye Qingqing entering, a bright smile appeared on his face, and he immediately came forward to greet him warmly.
"Qingqing, a batch of embroidery threads from Hangzhou have just arrived in the shop. They are better than before, and the colors are very complete. I have also reserved the silk and gold threads you are used to."
Ye Qingqing is a relatively powerful embroiderer. Every time she and Ye Mu buy expensive gold threads, fine Hangzhou embroidery threads and silks, she is considered a big customer of Yang Family Cloth Store.
"Okay, Shopkeeper Yang, take it out and let me take a look." Ye Qingqing smiled.
Shopkeeper Yang brought out some embroidery thread samples. Ye Qingqing looked at them carefully. The colors were bright and shiny.
Ye Qingqing will still embroider peonies next time. She picked a lot of gold thread, as well as various colors of fine Hangzhou embroidery thread, and also cut a large piece of white silk.
The 18 taels of silver that had just been obtained from selling embroidery was spent in another hand for 10 taels of silver. Ye Qingqing felt a little distressed.
Tang Xiaojing was very surprised when he saw that Ye Qingqing had bought such a small package for only 10 taels of silver. This item for embroidery must be too expensive.
No wonder this embroidery is so expensive, and it costs a lot of money. If your family is not well off, you probably can't afford these things for making embroidery.
Shopkeeper Yang happily packed the things for Ye Qingqing and gave Ye Qingqing a small piece of fine cotton cloth.
The fabric is not big, but the color is a very beautiful light green, which matches Ye Qingqing very well. Ye Qingqing looked at it and saw that it was just enough to make a short top.
Shopkeeper Yang knew that Ye Qingqing and his family liked cloth, so he gave Ye Qingqing several large bundles of cloth.
Ye Qingqing saw that although these cloths were not very big, they were all made of various silks or cottons, and the colors were bright and beautiful.
If these cloth ends are used to make headbands and hairbands for Mrs. Ye, they will definitely look very nice.
Ye Qingqing happily accepted the cloth heads sent by Shopkeeper Yang, and then wrapped up all the other cloth heads in the cloth shop.
Ye Qingqing bought these cloths for Mrs. Ye. Her family also sells headbands and hair ties, so these beautiful cloths come in handy.
Tang Xiaojing saw that Ye Qingqing still wanted to continue shopping, so he left the things he just bought, the fabrics, and the oxcart at Yangjia Cloth Store.
Shopkeeper Yang was very enthusiastic, "No problem, you go and have a look first, the things and the cart will be left here first."
Not far from this street, there is a street dedicated to selling all kinds of groceries. The things there are cheap and there are all kinds of things.
There are people on the streets in the county all day long, but there are fewer people in the afternoon and there are fewer stalls than in the morning.
The two of them had obviously just finished eating, but in the blink of an eye, Ye Qingqing already had baked rice cakes and fragrant sesame cakes in his hands.
There is a stall selling roasted seeds and nuts next to the sesame seed cakes. In addition to roasted sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts and other roasted seeds and nuts, they also sell fresh sunflower seeds.
It was afternoon, and there were still a lot of fresh sunflower seeds left on sale at the stall.
Ye Qingqing bargained with the stall owner for half the price, and finally bought a small bag of sunflower seeds, planning to go back and fry them himself.
The melon seeds fried at the stall were expensive and not delicious, so she might as well go back and fry them herself.
Tang Xiaojing put several kilograms of sunflower seeds into the basket behind him, looked at Ye Qingqing and smiled:
"Qingqing, there are still some scattered open spaces on the mountain. Why don't you buy some sunflower seeds and scatter them on the mountain? Then you will have sunflower seeds to eat at the end of the year."
Ye Qingqing looked at Tang Xiaojing with a smile, "Okay, I heard from my dad that there is a shop specializing in selling seeds at the end of the street. Let's go and have a look later."
The two of them walked for a while and unexpectedly came across someone selling beef. They were really lucky.
Cattle are precious, and they must die of old age or in an accident before they can be slaughtered.
Moreover, it has to be reported to the government, and the government will send someone to check it before it can be slaughtered, so it is difficult to buy beef.
Seeing that there was beef for sale, Ye Qingqing happily pulled Tang Xiaojing and squeezed in.
However, the two arrived too late. The beef had been sold out long ago. At this time, there were only some beef bones, half a beef tongue and a small piece of beef liver left on the stall.
Ye Qingqing picked out a few cow bones. These cow bones were very large, each one weighing more than a pound.
Ye Qingqing looked through the beef tongue and beef liver. They looked quite fresh, so he ordered them both.
After walking a few steps, I came across another stall selling seafood, but unfortunately there was no fresh seafood, and all the stalls sold were dried seafood.
However, there are a lot of dried fish made from sea fish on the stall, as well as various seafood such as kelp, dried shrimps, and scallops.
Ye Qingqing asked for a small bundle of dried kelp, three dried fish from the ocean, and a pound of shrimp.
There are two types of shrimps, one is small shrimps smaller than a fingernail, and the other is sun-dried prawns.
The two look similar, but the prices are very different. Small shrimps only cost 30 Wen per catty, while dried prawns cost 80 Wen per catty.
The shrimp Ye Qingqing is intended to be used to stew radish and tofu, just for seasoning. Anyway, the taste is the same, so of course I buy cheap shrimp.
The two of them walked from the street to the end of the street. The backpack behind Tang Xiaojing was already filled with various things, and he was carrying more and more things in his hands.
Tang Xiaojing's hands were not only tired, but his calves were also extremely sore. He felt even more tired than when he went hunting in the mountains.
Seeing that Ye Qingqing was still in high spirits and even wanted to continue shopping, Tang Xiaojing suddenly felt even more tired.
Tang Xiaojing was very puzzled. People who usually scream tired when they climb halfway up the mountain, how come they are not tired at all when they go shopping?
Before he could finish his sigh, Ye Qingqing had already entered the seed shop, and Tang Xiaojing quickly followed him carrying large and small bags.
When she was at Ye's house, Mrs. Ye and her sister-in-law took care of the small vegetable garden at home. This was Ye Qingqing's first time visiting a shop that sells seeds.
Ye Qingqing bought a lot of sunflower seeds. Since there is a lot of space on the mountain, if you plant some in every corner, you will always get something.
Under the enthusiastic recommendation of the shopkeeper, Ye Qingqing bought some cabbage seeds and vegetable seeds that could be planted at this time.
This seed shop was at the end of the street. The two of them had already walked the entire street. Tang Xiaojing happily pulled Ye Qingqing back.
Ye Qingqing saw that her husband-in-law couldn't take any more things, so he had no choice but to go back.
The two returned to Yangjia Cloth Village, and Tang Xiaojing moved everything to the bullock cart.
Then he went into the cloth shop and carried three sacks of cloth onto an oxcart, while Ye Qingqing took light fabrics and embroidery tools.
Cloth piles were piled in the corner of the bullock cart, cloth and some light things were piled on top of the cloth piles. The various things Ye Qingqing bought suddenly filled half of the bullock cart.
Ye Qingqing looked at Tang Xiaojing with interest, "Mr. sir, let's go to the dock again."
Tang Xiaojing only felt that his vision went dark and his calf ached slightly. He still had to go shopping!
