They are just a group of old men. A group of women are watching behind, but they are embarrassed to squeeze over. When they hear the news that they are sold out, their expressions are full of resentment. Originally, they wanted to wait for these men to buy and then go.
Chaoyang and Chaolu push the car home, while Xu Qing and Li Changting are ready to go shopping.
Xu Qing's oil paper is about to run out. One thing he did was to buy oil paper. He bought 50 Jin of oil paper for use. It happened that the place where he sold oil paper helped to carve seals.
Xu Qing asked the master to carve two trademark seals of qingtingfang. When he wrapped the cake in oil paper, he stamped a red seal with qingtingfang on the oil paper. The back of the oil paper was still easy to ink.
When making cakes like mung bean cake and pastry, you can get the logo of qingtingfang, but if you can't leave a mark, you can use a seal instead.
Originally, Xu Qing thought that he could customize a batch of wrapping paper with the qingtingfang trademark, but now the conditions don't allow it, so he can make do with two seals, and then find someone to customize the wrapping paper when he returns to Hezhou.
Then they went to the grain shop. Last year, because everyone was worried about the weather, few people dared to grow expensive crops such as rice and wheat. This year, there are many people, but it's not harvest time, so the rice and flour in the grain shop are very expensive.
Xu Qing wanted only a small bag of glutinous rice, and now the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, glutinous rice is a best-selling time, and the price is more expensive than usual.
Seeing the price, Xu Qing didn't think about anything. She even meant to lose money when she sold zongzi. You know, the raw glutinous rice sold in the grain shop is dozens of times more expensive than her zongzi!
The price is really frightening.
However, Li Changting said that such an outrageous price is now. When the grain harvest is approved in August, a large number of rice and noodles will enter the market, and the price will naturally fall.
Now the imperial court has only strictly controlled the prices of potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn, and there are no measures for fine crops such as rice and flour. However, the imperial court will certainly take action before the grain harvest. Otherwise, the grain merchants will ask for the prices and the people will not live.
Besides grain, other things in the market are very cheap. Xu Qing also went to the jade shop and bought some high-quality jade jewelry.
Xu Qing doesn't lack jewelry. She just doesn't know how to make a bun, so she doesn't bother to dress up. In the past, Li Changting combed her hair when she had long hair.
When she was in confinement, Xu Qing cut her hair short. After three months, she only grew one finger long. She could only get a low bun in the back, just like a little girl who had just learned how to dress up.
"Madam, how about trying these eyebrow drop models?" The shopkeeper opened a brocade box and said, "these eyebrow pendants are just new products. The style is novel and absolutely suitable for madam."
After the shopkeeper found that the two guests were not short of money, they all brought out the best goods in the shop. I wish the guests could round up these treasures.
Li Changting chose a necklace like eyebrow pendant for Xu Qing to wear. The back button can be adjusted according to the size of the guest's head. There are hidden buttons on the side and back to clamp the hair for fixation. After wearing it, there is no need to worry about skewing or falling.
Xu Qing asked, "is it beautiful?"
Li Changting: "good looking, it suits you very much."
Shopkeeper reminds a way: "Madam puts on the eardrop of the same model again more beautiful!"
Xu Qing said to Li Changting, "help me put them on."
After wearing it, Xu Qing went to look in the mirror, looked around with his head, and said with a satisfied smile, "just like a fairy."
No one can boast that he is a fairy, but Xu Qing is beautiful, with red lips and white teeth, bright eyes and delicate face. He can be a fairy.
It can only be said that there are too many people in the space. Every day, I drink Lingquan water, and I drink a body of ice. If it wasn't for Xu Qingping, who had to work, dress casually, and dress up a little properly, it would be a fairy.
"All right, that's it."
Shopkeeper: "madam, don't you want to see other styles any more?" There are many beautiful ones here.
Xu Qing: "no, this one will do."
Although the others are also very beautiful, she thinks it doesn't matter whether they are good-looking or not. Anyway, she can't see them on her head. Li Changting chose them. He thinks they are good-looking.
Beautiful women always attract people's attention. Handsome men and beautiful women attract double attention. Many people are quietly asking who the couple are, but none of them know each other.
On the way, Xu Qing found a seed shop and quickly took Li Changting in to have a look.
Xu Qing looked at it for a while and exclaimed in surprise: "Xianggong, there are mango and kiwi seeds here! And banana and coconut seeds! "
Xu Qing was too shocked. Although these things are not foreign varieties, it's really hard for such a big country to find these fruits that only grow in special regions!
"Madame?" The boss was surprised that he could name by seed alone.
Xu Qing studied food thoroughly, including not only how to cook food, but also the source, growth, habits and so on."I know them. I've seen them all." Xu Qing said, "do you have any other fruit seeds?"
"Yes, it is..." Then the boss took out two bags of seeds from the cupboard and said, "there are two kinds of fruit seeds here. I forgot their name, but I don't know if the seeds are broken because they have been put for too long."
"Let me see." Xu Qing took it, opened the paper bag and looked at it. He took a breath immediately. It turned out to be lemon and durian seeds!
She looked at the boss in surprise: "boss, how can you have so many fruit seeds from different places? These are not the fruits that can grow here, are they?"
The boss said: "I used to travel south and North, and I went to Outland with merchant ships. I like to collect some seeds when I see them. I didn't intend to sell them. After all, I can't grow them here, but now I don't have any goods in the shop, so I take them out to fill the facade."
Xu Qing's eyes are bright: "sell it to me, I want it, OK?"
The boss laughs: "good, of course good!" There's nothing wrong with making money.
Xu Qing can't help admiring his boss when he says that he used to sell goods. Now the boss is old and can't walk, otherwise he would have been one of those merchants who went all over the world to buy and sell goods.
"You've been out of the sea with the merchant ships. What kind of merchant ships are they so powerful?" Xu Qing asked curiously, how powerful is it to develop trade overseas in such an era.
The boss said with a smile: "many merchant ships, I don't remember. At that time, everyone liked those foreign goods, such as balsam, fur, tobacco and wine..."
