"Why don't you see Sister Gui?" When Su Yue opened the door and entered, Su Yu was making clothes for Sister Gui by herself in the wing room.

"Playing with his father in the front shop." Su Yu looked up and smiled, "Xiao Hei said that being a shopkeeper is not so difficult. It is much easier than fishing. He has only been a shopkeeper for three days. After the heat, He'll know it's still easier to fish."

Yesterday, a customer came to buy white porcelain with a baby. The baby in his hand saw Xiao Hei's black face and cried on the spot. The customer fled out of the porcelain shop with the baby in his arms.

Customers were really scared away by Xiao Hei's black face.

Su Yong told Su Yu about her visit, but Su Yu refused, "You also know that I don't like excitement, and I don't like shopping the most. The streets are noisy, and the noise makes my headaches."

"I really don't want to go. Mother also said that she would make two sets of clothes for our sisters and Sister Gui." Su Yue persuaded.

Su Yu shook her head, "I won't go. If there are fabrics suitable for my mother, I will make two clothes for my mother. I think it will be summer this year, and she will still be wearing the old clothes made last year."

Su Yue saw that Su Yu didn't want to go, so she didn't persuade her anymore, she took Hong Jiao and went out with Wang Shi.

Dongchang Street is very lively, people come and go, and there are all kinds of hawking and shouting, one after another, there are tofu sellers, sweet wine sellers, bench sellers... There are also people who carry their burdens and walk around the street. scissors.

On the way, I met a familiar person nearby and greeted Mrs. Wang, "Miss Juren, are you going to the street to buy vegetables?"

"Miss Juren, it's rare to see you take a girl out."

"Miss Juren, this is the second girl of your family. She looks really good-looking. She is exactly the same as her mother when she was young. She was carved out of the same mold."

She wandered around under her nose every day, but Mrs. Wang didn't notice it, but today she took a closer look, and this little girl, Su Yue, looked more and more beautiful the longer she grew.Hearing the compliments from the neighbors in the neighborhood, Wang's face was full of joy with a smile, and she felt that taking Su Yue out had a special radiance on her face, and she was in a good mood.

When I went to the silver building to buy jewelry, I didn't feel sorry for the silver. I bought two wishful melon and fruit silver hairpins, and bought a string of red agate bracelets for each of Su Yu and Su Yue.When passing by Liji Bakery, I bought two boxes of shortbread for Sister Gui.Passing by Widow Wang's sweet wine stand under the big lychee tree, she bought a jug of sweet wine and said she was taking it back for Xiao Hei to drink.

Su Yue stroked the newly acquired bracelet on her wrist, no wonder Mrs. Wang likes shopping so much, shopping can really make people forget their troubles.

After finishing the jewelry, I wandered all the way, and then went to Caiyunfang to look at the clothes materials. Caiyunfang is far away, and I saw a vegetable stand on the road. Wang remembered that he forgot to buy vegetables today.

"Old Wu, today's vegetables are very fresh." Mrs. Wang said hello to the vegetable sellers, and squatted down in front of the vegetable stalls in Liyu Lane to pick vegetables.

"Hmm." The other party didn't say much, and responded with a muffled head.

The two didn't talk too much, it seems that Mrs. Wang is a frequent visitor here.

The hoarse voice attracted Su Yong's attention. The other party was a shriveled old man with no excess flesh on his thin face. His face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were shining brightly, making him look very energetic.

In the previous life, Mrs. Wang felt that the vegetable market was a filthy place. It was dirty and messy and easily stained clothes and dresses. She seldom asked Su Yue to accompany her when she went out to buy vegetables.Su Yue didn't have much impression of this old man selling vegetables, so she looked up a few more times.

He is of medium stature, with a thin face and a thin figure, making one worry that a gust of wind could knock him down.

His legs and feet are not very flexible, he is limping on his right foot, and he is skillfully weighing vegetables with both hands.

Sitting on the bench next to him was a tall man, dressed in blue cloth that was washed white, and he didn't go to help, his head was lowered, he just played with the cabbage leaves in his hand.

Wang quickly picked out two loofahs, four purple eggplants, and a handful of green vegetables, and paid for them.

Before leaving, he took out a box of shortbread just bought from Liji Bakery and stuffed it into the big man's hand, "Come on, big man, my aunt has delicious shortbread here, take it back and eat."

"No, no." Old Wu limped over and pushed the box of shortbread back.

"Oh! What's the point of a box of shortbread? They're all neighbors. Why are you being polite to me?" Mrs. Wang grabbed the shortbread and stuffed it into the big man's hand, leaning sideways and said to the old Wu, "Let's talk , every time I buy vegetables, you still give me green onions, I can't just accept your favor."

One sentence made people speechless, the old Wu had nothing to say, and wanted to return the shortbread, but his legs and feet were inconvenient, and Mrs. Wang had already left. Looking down again, the big man had already taken a piece of shortbread. I ate more than half of the cake.

"Second Miss, wait for me." Hong Jiao moved her fat body and shouted from behind.

"You short legs." Su Yue pulled Hong Jiao over, followed Wang Shi, and asked about the old Wu.

Old Wutou is a foreigner. He came to Guangzhou two years ago. He lost his wife in his early years, leaving only a big and stupid son. He originally had a daughter who died of illness after getting married.A few years ago, there was a flood in my hometown, and the village and fields were flooded.With no food to eat, people in the village cut the bark and dug the grass roots to eat. Later, the bark and grass roots were eaten up, and they ate Guanyin soil. In the end, they really had no way to escape from the famine.The old Wutou and the big fool fled all the way to Guangzhou, where they settled down and sold vegetables for a living.

"Why is his leg lame?" Su Yue asked curiously.

"It is said that when fleeing from famine, because of a steamed bun, he was beaten to death by a refugee. The dog jumped the wall in a hurry, and people were starving to death. Those refugees can do anything. I also heard that because of a steamed bun, they were beaten to death. It’s a good thing that old Wutou got his life back.” Wang sighed, “Old Wutou is honest, he doesn’t like to talk, but he is honest and honest. Go buy food from him and take care of his business."

Su Yue listened to Wang's words while walking, and sighed in her heart, this is a miserable story, a lame man with a big stupid son, think about how hard life is.

We soon arrived at Caiyunfang. Caiyunfang has newly arrived a lot of Suzhou and Hangzhou materials, including white cotton cloth from Songjiang and silk from Suzhou.

Mrs. Wang took a fancy to a piece of material and touched it with her hands, it was very soft.

The shopkeeper praised Wang's good vision, saying that this material was just shipped from Suzhou, and it was the most popular in the city at the moment.

When Mrs. Wang saw that the girl from the Liji Porcelain Shop on Dongchang Street wore this Su-style material, she didn't need to be introduced by the shopkeeper to know that it was the most popular recently, and the most popular also meant that it was more expensive.

Ever since Li Ji started selling blue and white porcelain, Li Ji's business has been like a hang-up, with people coming and going in the shop every day, and I don't know how much he has earned.The two girls in the family were dressed to surpass the official ladies in the city, for fear that others would not know that her family was a nouveau riche.

It is also in the porcelain business, the business of the Su family is half-dead, and I get angry when I think about it. Before the shopkeeper’s introduction, Wang gritted his teeth and decided on this piece of material. The two girls of the Li family can afford it, and their Su family’s The girl can't afford to wear it?

I chose lake blue and silver red, two colors suitable for little girls, and made clothes for Su Yu and Su Yue.

Su Yue picked out a piece of maroon-red fabric for Wang, "This fabric is very white, and it looks best when I wear it."

Mrs. Wang took the material that Su Yue had chosen for her, and put it on her body for gestures. It was really like what Su Yue said, and her overall look was much better.

Su Yue chose cotton cloth from Songjiang to make clothes for Sister Gui. The cotton cloth produced in Songjiang is soft and suitable for making clothes for children. Children's skin is tender, so it is not suitable to wear satin.He picked another piece of light yellow material for Hongjiao, and Hongjiao was so happy that he grinned all the way.

As soon as she returned home after shopping, Su Yue was ordered by Mrs. Wang to go to the Sun's Roast Meat Shop opposite to buy a salted chicken.

It's rare that Mrs. Wang is happy and can eat chicken today.

Su Yue jumped up and down, and walked in through the back door of Sun's house with light steps. She saw Sun Yinglian holding a handkerchief in her hand, standing by the window sill with her head poked out to look into the store.

"What are you looking at?" Su Yue lightly stepped forward and patted her.
