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 chasing 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. When they reached the front yard, the coughing in the back yard sounded violently again.
Yan Funing paused and wanted to ask something. Before she opened 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 is it, 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 is a little embarrassed. Now it seems that the Tong family and her daughter are really good people. She just wanted to be wary. She has a villain's heart.
The driver Li greeted everyone to get in the car, and the car quickly drove away from 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 on my way back to the village." In order to prevent people around from hearing, he said very quietly, "Go and buy it quickly. I'll wait for you on the street. I'll calculate the fare when I get back to the village."
Yan Funing nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Li!"
The driver Li scratched the back of his head and smiled. Good intentions: "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 the people 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 butcher stall.
"How do you sell the ribs today?"
"This ribs is bigger than the one last time. It costs you ten cents. I watched you buy candies without even blinking. Ten cents today. Wenqian's ribs, can't you bargain?"
Yan Funing smiled softly: "Okay, give me one pound of pork ribs and half a pound of fat meat."
The stall owner said in surprise: "You bought meat today?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
He happily waved the knife and raised the knife in his hand. Fall, cut off 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: "It's just proficiency."
After all, he was praised by a good-looking girl. 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 piece, 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 said with a smile: "Boss, I have a backpack, so I don't need to carry meat."
The stall owner laughed: "Look at my brain!"
As he said that, just like the previous time, he Cut the ribs into strips.
Seeing that he was working efficiently, Yan Funing quickly took out the sugar packets from the backpack and put the oil paper 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 spread 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 candy After putting the bag away, he took out a handful of copper plates from his purse, "I forgot to ask, what is the price of fat and lean meat today?"
"Fat meat costs seventy cents a pound, and lean meat Fifty cents per catty, the same as before."
"Then I'll give you a total of ninety-five cents." She counted the coins to him, "Did you count correctly?"
The stall owner took a quick look, threw it into the cash box, and smiled heartily: "That's right!"
After leaving the meat stall, Yan Funing went to find a clothing store.
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, she doesn’t know how!
Furthermore, I only brought one hundred penny with me when I came out today. At this moment, almost all the money I have on me is from selling oyster mushrooms and Ganoderma lucidum.
The silver ingot is too big and conspicuous to be spent in town.
After deducting the fare and expenses just now, there are 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.
Passing by the fragrant wax shop, Yan Funing remembered that the candles at home were brought from the Fu Mansion, and now there were not many left.
I remember that someone often copied books at night, so I had 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, and 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 two hundred yuan.
After 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: "Want a wick?"
"How much does it cost?"< br>
“Five cents a handful.”
Considering that the oil lamp was dim, it would be better for someone to light candles when writing at night, Yan Funing said, “I want to buy a few more candles.”
The shop owner greeted me with a smile again: "How many candles do you want?" and reminded, "The candles cost twenty cents each."
"Buy six candles."
Yan Funing took out 155 Wen and gave it to her.
The shopkeeper counted them carefully 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.
To be able to sell Ganoderma lucidum today is due to Tong Cheng. His blacksmith shop is only one mile away from here. She walked there quickly and went to the blacksmith shop with a basket on her back.
In the shop, Tong Cheng was not there, and Tong Ya was sitting on the small stool in a daze, holding her little 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 dad has gone to the next village to deliver hoes. 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 carriage.
On the way back in the bullock cart, Yan Fu thought to herself. She bought candles and oil lamps for someone. Should he agree to teach her how to read and write?
