Chapter 42 Thinking of Someone As expected, the old woman's face darkened and she said coldly: "No."
Although Yan Funing expected this answer, she still sighed.
The old woman raised her hand: "Girl, please come back!"
This is driving people away.
Also, such a mysterious mansion would not like outsiders to stay for a long time.
Yan Funing nodded, and soon a maid came to lead the way.
It was quiet all the way, but when they reached the front yard, the coughing in the backyard sounded violently again.
Yan Funing paused, wanting to ask something, but before she could open her mouth, the maid who led the way shook her head and refused.
Not long after, she was sent out.
As soon as the footsteps crossed the high threshold, there was a bang and the courtyard door was closed.
The driver Li jumped off the bullock cart, Tong Cheng took his daughter out of the car, and the three of them came to her.
"How's it going? Have you sold it?"
Yan Funing nodded with a smile and showed them the empty basket.
"That's great!" Tong Cheng said with a smile, "You can't give Black Heart Medical Clinic a cheap price!"
Yan Funing touched Tong Ya's forehead: "Sister, treat Xiaoya to something."
"No, dad said we haven't repaid sister's kindness yet." Tong Ya said in a sweet voice.
Yan Funing was a little embarrassed. Now it seemed that the Tong family and her daughter were really good people. She just wanted to be careful because she was a villain.
Li, the driver, asked everyone to get in the car, and the car quickly left the house.
After passing the blacksmith shop, driver Li dropped off the Tong family and his daughter, and then drove Yan Funing back to the town.
When she got off the bus at the market, Yan Funing wanted to give another coin to the driver Li, but was stopped by the driver Li.
"Girl, you must have a lot of money with you now. I must take you with me when I go back to the village." In order to prevent people around from hearing, he said very quietly, "You go shopping quickly, I will go to the streets I'll wait for you to calculate the fare when you return to the village."
Yan Funing nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Li!"
Driver Li scratched the back of his head and smiled sheepishly: "Go quickly."
Yan Funing nodded and went to the candy shop first.
Sugar candies and jelly beans cost ten cents a pack.
This time she bought a total of four packs of malt candies and one pack of jelly beans, which cost her fifty cash.
After she paid, the owner of the pork stall waved to her.
"Good-looking girl, come on, today's ribs are good."
His voice caused everyone around to look at Yan Funing.
There was disdain in their eyes, as if they were saying, Whose silly girl actually likes to eat things that dogs chew on.
Yan Funing didn't care at all. She put the sugar bag into her backpack and went to the meat stall.
"How to sell the ribs today?"
"This rib is bigger than the one last time. It costs you ten cents. I saw you buying candies without blinking an eye. Today's ribs cost ten cents, so you can't bargain, can you?"
Yan Funing smiled softly: "Okay, a fan of ribs, and give me a pound of meat and half a pound of fat."
The stall owner asked in surprise: "Did you buy some meat today?"
"Ah."
"okay."
He happily waved the knife and cut two pieces of meat.
One big and one small, one thin and one fat.
Weighed it, the weight is just right.
Yan Funing praised: "You are so capable!"
The stall owner smiled disapprovingly and said, "I'm just skilled."
After all, he was praised by the pretty girl, so he cut off a small piece of fat and threw it together with the first two pieces of meat: "This is for the top."
"thank you boss!"
"I don't dare to be the boss."
He tied two long pieces of meat in the middle with straw.
He directly pierced a hole in the small one, passed the straw through it, and tied it with a knot.
"Carry it more cleanly." He picked up three pieces of meat and gave them to her.
Yan Funing smiled and said: "Boss, I have a backpack, so I don't need to carry the meat."
The stall owner laughed: "Look at my brain!"
As he said that, he opened the ribs one by one just like the previous time.
Yan Funing saw that he was working efficiently and quickly took out the sugar packets from the backpack. The oil paper from before was placed at the bottom of the basket.
The stall owner put the ribs into the basket, and then threw three pieces of meat on top of the ribs.
He took out a piece of brown paper from under the table and laid it on the meat, and said to Yan Funing: "You can put your sugar packets on it without getting dirty."
"Well, thank you!" She put the sugar bag away and took out a handful of coins from her purse. "I just forgot to ask, what is the price of fat and lean meat today?"
"Fat meat costs seventy cents per catty, and lean meat costs fifty cents per catty, the same as before."
"Then I'll give you a total of 95 coins." She counted the coins and gave them to him. "Did you count correctly?"
The stall owner took a quick look, threw it into the cash box, and said with a hearty smile, "That's right!"
After leaving the meat stall, Yan Funing went to find a clothing store.
After walking around the market, there were only two cloth shops and no ready-made clothing stores.
If you buy cloth, you have to sew clothes, but she doesn’t know how!
Furthermore, I only brought one hundred coins with me when I came out today, and most of my money at the moment was from selling oyster mushrooms and Ganoderma lucidum.
The silver ingot was too big and conspicuous to be spent in town.
After deducting the fare and expenses just now, there is still 230 loose money left, which may not be enough to buy fabrics for a family of five.
After much thought, I decided to buy it next time.
As she passed the fragrant wax shop, Yan Funing remembered that the candles at home were brought from Fu's house before, and now there were not many left.
Thinking of someone who often copies books at night, I have to prepare a candle.
Then he entered the shop.
After asking, I found out that lamp oil is cheap but candles are expensive.
Because vegetable oil or animal oil can be used as lamp oil, the cost of candles is much higher.
The shop owner enthusiastically promoted various unique lamps in the store. Yan Funing asked about the price, which shocked her.
Relatively affordable metal lamps cost [-] yuan.
After choosing and choosing, she chose the cheapest ceramic oil lamp, which cost thirty cents a piece.
Seeing that she chose a ceramic lamp, the shop owner was not so enthusiastic. He handed the lamp over with a sigh and asked in a nonchalant manner: "Would you like a wick?"
"How much do you want?"
"Five cents a handful."
Yan Funing considered that the oil lamp was dim and it would be better for someone to light candles when writing at night, so she said, "I want to buy a few more candles."
The shopkeeper greeted me with a smile again: "How many candles do you want?" and reminded, "Candles cost twenty cents each."
"Buy six candles."
Yan Funing took out 150 five cents and gave it to her.
The shop owner carefully counted them one by one to make sure the numbers were correct, then wrapped six candles, an oil lamp and a handful of wicks and gave them to her.
Yan Funing took the paper bag and carefully put it into the backpack.
The reason why she was able to sell Ganoderma lucidum today was due to Tong Cheng. His blacksmith's shop was only a mile away from here. She arrived quickly after walking, so she went to the blacksmith's shop with a basket on her back.
In the shop, Tong Cheng was not there, and Tong Ya was sitting on the stool in a daze with her little face on her face.
Yan Funing walked over quietly and handed her a pack of candy.
Tong Ya came back to her senses, took the candy, and jumped up happily.
"Sister, my father has gone to the next village to deliver the hoe. Do you want to wait for him?"
"No wait, sister is going home."
Yan Funing waved her hand and walked quickly back to the market.
When she arrived at the streets of Xishou, there were only three guests in the driver's car.
On the way back in the bullock cart, Yan Funing thought, she bought candles and oil lamps for someone, should he agree to teach her how to read and write?
