Chapter 83 Buying
Although Lin Daimo had nothing to say about the matter of giving up the master bedroom, he became more and more respectful to Lu Mengji. He also had the right to turn a blind eye to many unaccustomed behaviors.
Since Fangyuan moved into the quadrangle courtyard, the dull atmosphere in the courtyard has improved significantly. Mrs. Lin, who has always been crazy, has been bedridden for many days, and her spirit seems to have improved a lot. She accompanies Fangyuan's bedside every day and often talk about Lin Daiyue's naughty deeds when she was young. After listening to it for a long time, Lin Daimo's original strength in his heart gradually eased. Although he was still wary of Mrs. Lin, it was finally a mother and son. For more than ten years of family affection, even if there were various mistakes during this period, it was slowly diluted by the world.
After more than half a month, Lu Mengji felt more and more overwhelmed.
The silver stored at home was taken away by Lin Daimo. Almost all his savings were used up for food, accommodation and medical treatment in the city, and a few people were added to the family. They needed silver for everything. However, Lu Mengji turned over the bottom of the box and couldn't survive for two months, so it became more and more difficult.
Although the potted plant has a rough shape, the tree body has not grown well for half a year, so it naturally cannot be used as a home item. At the beginning, the mushroom breeding carried out by Lin Dai and Li Dazhuang in the village was completely placed due to the relocation of the whole family. Now it has already become someone else's house. What's more, even if there is some inventory, it can't expand the market. By retailing at the stall alone, the family may only drink the northwest wind.
When she was worried, Liu's mother came in with a sad face and poured bitter water when she saw Lu Meng Jian, "Meng Jian, now that there are so many mouths to eat at home, the original rice noodles have not been enough for a long time. Seeing that the rice bowl is about to be empty, why don't you send someone to buy some in the city?"
I'm really afraid of what's coming. Lu Mengji was worried about this matter, so he came to the door by himself, so he had to reluctantly smile and said, "It's a coincidence that I'm also going to the city. When I ask Uncle Li to drive an ox cart into the city tomorrow, I can buy some food. This suddenly adds so many mouths. It's really hard for Liu's mother to cook and boil water these days!"
"Hey, what are you talking about? There are many people in the family. I think the young master is also happy and it's worth being tired. Moreover, you work much harder than us. You have to take care of these seedlings every day, watering and fertilizing." Liu's mother looked at Lu Mengji's thin body and was very distressed. In addition, she had already married with Lin Daimo. For nearly half a year, there was no news about her stomach, and she wanted to deliberately mend their bodies, but the clever woman couldn't cook without rice, so she could only watch and worry.
I saw Liu's mother go out, but Lu Mengji became more and more bottomless. She had no less money when she went to the city, but she had only 20 taels of silver on hand, and she had to maintain the food and clothing of a family of nearly ten. Even if she tightened her belt, she still had a day to sit and eat in the mountains, except for planting flowers and occasionally draw a few pictures, there was nothing extraordinary. How can you let the money run into your hands out of thin air?
So entangled until the evening, when he opened the box to look for the clothes he would wear on the second day, Lu Mengji suddenly saw several ceramic bottles he treasured in the box, which were a few bottles of essential oil extracted in the remote house. There were three bottles of April Snow's essential oil alone, and the rest, such as cloves, also saved half a bottle.
The previous Huaihua essential oil made me make a small profit. If I can successfully sell these bottles of essential oils this time, I think I will gain a lot. After making up my mind, Lu Mengjian's heart, which had been hanging for a day, finally settled down.
Since Li Dazhuang added an ox cart, there has been an endless stream of people in the village who came to borrow cattle when he was busy. Fortunately, yesterday, Lu Mengzhi agreed with Li Dazhuang early to go to the city to buy, so the old cow was idle. Early in the morning, he molened outside the door. Lu Mengjie hurriedly finished watering the seedlings and took it. A few taels of silver and five bottles of essential oil ran out.
There is an ox cart for walking, which is obviously much more convenient than walking to Pulan City on the same day. Soon, the two drove to the gate.
Lu Mengji stuffed the silver directly into Li Dazhuang's arms. After making it clear what he was going to buy, he walked to the downtown with essential oil. Although Li Dazhuang was worried that she would go forward alone, he couldn't resist Lu Mengji's stubbornness and had to drive to the rice shop with an ox cart according to Lu Mengji's instructions.
This time he entered the city, Lu Mengji was obviously much more familiar with the terrain of Pulan City than before, so this time he went directly to the shop specializing in women's fat powder supplies.
Pulan City is not big, but it is impossible to walk around for a minute. However, the downtown area in the city is very concentrated, and in the downtown area, there are special alleys to open shops for different goods, and the street for women's makeup jewelry and other supplies is called Qingyi Lane, so Lu Mengji quickly walked there. The entrance to this alley.
Difference from other streets, as soon as he walked to the corner, he already smelled a faint fragrance of powder. Lu Mengjie took a deep breath and couldn't help shaking his head, but there was already a fragrance at the entrance of the alley. As for the powder, he didn't want to intoxicate people. What's more, if it was elegant and fragrant, the aroma that was too strong would show thorny. The nose is the best if it can be replaced by the smell of floral essential oil.
Lu Mengji was full of confidence in the essential oils he had refined, so he stepped into Qingyi Lane.
As soon as I left, I saw a store with various rouge boxes. Lu Mengjian looked up and saw the three characters Liufang Pavilion on the plaque at the door. The name was really vulgar. However, there are several women lingling among them. Looking at their clothes, they should be rich families in the city. Lu Mengjian secretly shouted in his heart, how can they afford this kind of fat powder in the store? There are many stalls outside. If Lu Mengjian's economic level is the only afford to buy those stalls. It can be seen that he is here. Right place.
With a contest in his heart, Lu Mengji raised his leg and walked into the Liufang Pavilion.
The little clerk in the store took a look at Lu Mengji, and then turned his head aside. Looking at Lu Mengji's dress, he was probably not rich and noble. He thought it was a localbag who came into the city and came in to see the freshness. It's just that he couldn't afford to buy it, so he simply ignored it.
Lu Mengji looked around the store and did not have a clerk to greet him, while the women in gorgeous clothes were accompanied by a lively and attentive introduction. He knew that those workers regarded him as shabby and did not regard themselves as customers.
However, Lu Mengji really didn't regard himself as a customer when he went to the city this time. On the contrary, these stores are his own customers. After getting a general understanding of the business in the store, Lu Mengjian walked to the counter and saw a clerk sitting in front of the counter taking a nap, so he whispered with a smile, "Brother, do you still accept spices here?"
The clerk opened his eyes and saw that it was a young woman in a vulgar dress, so he closed his eyes again and shook his head impatiently.
"This guy, I have good spices here. Can you help your boss come out?" Lu Mengji, in line with the principle of asking for help, his tone was inevitably a little humble, but the work became more and more impatient.
"Go, what good spices can you have? Our boss is very busy and wants to find the boss to sell spices. Is it possible that our boss still needs to receive them one by one? Go quickly, don't affect our business," the work was thrown to Lu Mengjian with a big white eye. There happened to be a beautiful woman who went to the counter to check out, so she quickly turned her smiling face and ignored Lu Mengjian standing aside.
Seeing that there was no way here, Lu Mengjian had to turn around and look for another house. As soon as he took two steps, he heard the work behind him muttering with the maid, "Well, what good spices can the local steamed buns from the country have? I still want to see our boss. What a fool's dream!"
The maid sneered and said, "Some people don't know what's good or wrong, and don't look in the mirror to see how many pounds they are. Oh, yes, I don't know if there is a mirror in her house yet!"
Lu Mengjian stopped and looked back. He was seeing the girl's smiling face clearly. He secretly bit his lips and turned around and strode out of the door.
The flow of people in Qingyi Lane gradually increased. Lu Mengji stood at the door and took a few deep breaths. Then he turned around and looked at the plaque of Liufang Pavilion carefully. He remembered it deeply and finally turned around and walked to the depths of Qingyi Lane.
Since she was a child, Lu Mengji has hardly been laughed at like this. Although she has been comforting herself, her initial excitement has obviously fallen a lot after this incident.
I walked through several jewelry stores. The dazzling jade gold and silver jewelry shined in the sun. Lu Mengjia was not here, so he took a rough look at the door of the store and continued to walk forward.
I almost walked all over the street before I saw another powder shop. Lu Mengjie hesitated at the door for a while. Just as he was about to step in, he suddenly heard a woman's voice behind him, "Sister Lu, please stay!"
