Chapter 72: What the Foolish Husband Takes a Fancy to Something
I bought only the soles of the shoes and made the upper molds, and I had to take them home and sew them myself. This job only requires effort and strength, the stitches are neat, not technical work, Qiao Xiaoru felt that he could do it, so he bought another set of needles and threads and thimbles.
In the end, he picked three colors of cheesecloth, light blue, broken flowers, and bean green, and pulled more than eight meters each, that is, more than twenty-four feet.
Although the number is a bit large, Qiao Xiaoru can't help it, because this is used to make a bed surround, and the entire bed must be surrounded on all sides, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure that no wind blows in through the cracks of the wooden house in winter.
All in all, it's all about winter!
The cloth village also sells quilts, and Qiao Xiaoru asked for four medium-quality beds, three eight-pound beds, one four-pound bed, and one six-pound bed. In case it's too cold to cover a bed enough, you can also add something.
Of course, the six-pound bed in her selfish heart was prepared by her for the foolish husband. Although this fool is very conscious of sleeping at night, it is inevitable that there will be times when I fall asleep and stretch my legs or reach out to touch her.
At least for now, she doesn't have the idea of having a round house with this stupid thing, and sleeping on a quilt is not always like that.
She wanted to buy a few more quilts as thick as them, but she was afraid that her mother-in-law would be suspicious. You must know that this soft-spoken, timid mother-in-law is a master who drugged them on their wedding night! One can imagine how important this matter of inheritance is in the eyes of her mother-in-law. Qiao Xiaoru didn't want to make her suspicious about this, it would be bad if the truth was exposed.
After all, it cost almost three taels of silver, and Qiao Xiaoru took out the marmot skin and paid a penny of silver, and paid a total of two taels and five cents.
By the way, she asked the store for some rags that stuck the uppers and soles, and the store saw that the two of them had bought a lot of things, so they readily agreed and let Qiao Xiaoru pick them up by herself.
Qiao Xiaoru was not greedy, nor did she pick the silk that looked good-looking but not practical, but picked eleven or twelve large thick cotton cloths and three or four brightly colored arrowroot cloths, and thanked her with a smile.
Qiao Xiaoru didn't think of asking for such bits and pieces, or rather, she didn't know that such a thing existed at all.
After all, as a modern person, does she need to use needlework to make clothes and shoes? Do you need scraps of cloth to stick to the soles and uppers? It's not good to say that you can't use it to make a mop!
But this morning, when she and the foolish husband went to Lizheng's house to borrow an ox cart, Lizheng's daughter-in-law smiled and asked her to go to the cloth village to ask someone for a few pieces of rags to make the soles of the uppers if she was free, and said that some cloth village owners are not very good at talking, and may ask for a few dollars, and they will take out a few copper plates for her.
Where can Qiao Xiaoru ask for her money, she stopped with a smile, and said that she would try her luck first, and if she was unlucky, it would not be too late to give her money when she came back!
Lizheng's daughter-in-law excused herself twice, and when she saw her resolute attitude, she smiled and said okay.
And what about Qiao Xiaoru? Listening to what Lizheng's daughter-in-law said, she understood that going alone to ask for others would definitely not be in vain, and it would definitely cost money, otherwise, where would it be her turn to ask for it? After all, this is not modern, in modern times, these cloth heads are completely useless garbage, and the store is afraid that someone will take it! These are all useful things that can be used to make shoes!
However, although it is only useful for scraps of cloth and leftovers, Qiao Xiaoru expects that it will definitely not be expensive, and three or four copper plates will be in the sky. Lizheng's daughter-in-law can take advantage of her three or four copper plates, but if it is a big bargain, Lizheng's daughter-in-law will not take advantage of it.
Of course, if she spends in that store, and consumes a lot, she doesn't need to spend a copper plate.
And that's exactly what she expected.
In fact, even if it costs a few copper plates to buy, Qiao Xiaoru is also willing.
Her requirements are really not high, if the two aunts are not too shameless and take advantage of a little bit, she doesn't care more, but unfortunately, they are white-eyed wolves who can't be fed!
After buying the things and paying the money, Qiao Xiaoru did not move away, but stored them in the store, ready to buy other things.
There are a lot of bits and pieces to buy today, but fortunately, the things in the bazaar are very concentrated, and the two of them still buy them very quickly.
After buying the things, they had already packed a large bag, and after the two of them had lunch, they went to fetch the ox cart.
After fetching the ox cart, he went to the blacksmith shop. Qiao Xiaoru planned to buy some farm tools. Although she got one set when she split up, it was only one set, and there was only one piece of each, and she and Silly Fujun were not enough at all.
For example, there is only one firewood knife, and when you go into the mountains to chop firewood and bamboo, you can only go to other people's houses to borrow one. You can't keep borrowing!
In addition to firewood knives, sickles, hoes, nail rakes, small seedling hoes, shovels, etc., you have to buy, while you can buy cheaper, otherwise it will be expensive to buy again when the spring and spring ploughing season opens.
These things were ready-made in the blacksmith's shop, and after some bargaining, it cost a total of three taels of silver. It hurts Qiao Xiaoru so much!
After buying these things, I was about to leave, but I didn't want to, the stupid man refused to go!
There was a reason why the foolish husband refused to leave, I saw him pointing to the iron bow hanging in an inconspicuous corner and pulling Qiao Xiaoru and said, "Daughter-in-law, I want that, can you buy it for me!" ”
Qiao Xiaoru: "......"
In fact, if she had noticed, she would have known that the foolish man had not taken his eyes off the iron bow since he entered the blacksmith's shop.
Looking at the stupid husband who was looking at him, Qiao Xiaoru couldn't say anything about the refusal on his lips!
The old blacksmith is a witty person, he doesn't care whether the fool is stupid or not, he only knows that his chicken ribs finally have a chance to sell out, so he immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Childe has good eyesight!" This bow is a good thing, it took me three months to make it, old man, using the best iron, and it will not be a problem to use it for decades or hundreds of years! This little sister-in-law, how about I be cheaper if you want it? ”
"Daughter-in-law......" The foolish man's ignorant and confused eyes lit up, and he pitifully took Qiao Xiaoru's hand and shook it.
Qiao Xiaoru: "......" is shameful to sell cuteness!
The old blacksmith was still bragging and talking, Qiao Xiaoru was too lazy to believe it, but the foolish husband rarely liked a thing with true feelings, and she couldn't refuse him ruthlessly.
"Master, you say a price to see, you know, it's too expensive for me to afford!" Qiao Xiaoru said.
The foolish husband was very happy when he heard it, his eyes lit up and he said happily: "The daughter-in-law is so good!" ”
Qiao Xiaoru: "......" hasn't bought it yet, okay! Fool, is it really good for you to block my back like this?
The old blacksmith knew that their family background was very average when he saw Qiao Xiaoru and Silly Fujun dressing, and the little hope in his heart that he could get rid of his chicken ribs immediately faded, and he didn't bother to brag about how good this bow was, so he said: "Ten taels of silver, to be honest, I don't even make handmade money, I just collect a book!" ”
