The woman looked at the three of them, seeing the resemblance between Li Jinhu and Li Weiyue, she could vaguely guess the relationship of the three, namely the husband and wife who brought her brother-in-law to buy the cloth.
"Sister, my name is Chun Niang, and I own this cloth shop. Whatever kind you want, I'll make it cheaper for you."
Chun Niang felt that Li Weiyue's disposition matched her disposition, and she felt that they were both a match. A few years ago, her husband was seriously ill and could only lie in bed, relying solely on her to take care of him the entire time.
Neighbors in the neighborhood said that Chun Niang was young and beautiful, and she would definitely not be able to maintain it. Every time he heard such words, he would go to the National People's Congress for a fight.
Chun Niang and her husband came to the border town in the north due to starvation in the south. When they came here, her husband worked hard to earn some money. He bought her all the food and drinks. But her husband preferred to starve. Capital is what makes the family business what it is today.
"Anyone who talks about my husband, I will do my best to fight him."
Chun Niang smiled brightly, and pointed to the cloth next to her, "Sister Weiwei, I bought it from the south. It is made of denim and used as a lining in a jacket. Windproof and comfortable when wearing. You can buy it cheaply, twenty cents."
Regular coarse fabrics cost seven or eight cents, fine cotton is more expensive, and fine cotton twill is much more expensive to buy. In addition to north-south freight, fabric store prices are at least thirty-five cents.
"Chun Niang, you open the door to doing business, how can you do it if you don't make money, just give it a normal market price."
Li Weiyue had been to the cloth shop in her previous life and knew the approximate price. Chun Niang did not lie, he asked for only twenty cents per foot, which was indeed unfavorable.
"Sister Weiwei, don't refuse."
Chun Niang's shop is by the roadside, it's her private home, she lives in the backyard, isn't it the husband of the house who needs to take medicine, and it takes a lot of money for every month, he even wanted to still give it away for free.
Li Weiyue had never met anyone who was in business like this, and she did not like to take advantage of others. It is rare for two people to talk to each other. As he traveled through time, his relatives were like wolves and tigers, and he really had no friends. When he met Chun Niang, the two felt a match.
When they get along with each other, just by looking at each other, they can feel having the same temperament, and have a feeling of liking each other.
"There is only one room in the inn? How can I live there!"
Both said they were sisters. Chun Niang was not old enough to be Li Weiyue's mother. Because her husband was in poor health, they both had no children. Chun Niang grabbed Li Weiyue's hand and warmly delivered her invitation. "I still have two empty rooms in the house. My house is more comfortable than the inn. You shop first. I close early and you can come to my house for dinner."
"That's it."
Li Weiyue agreed with great pleasure, and left the cloth shop. As soon as he walked out, Li Jinhu was unable to contain himself, "Jie, why aren't you careful? What if Chun Niang is a bad person and wants to deceive us?"
Not only that, he had to spend the night in a stranger's house. Li Jinhu really did not understand. The person they had just met was completely unfamiliar to him, and he could not tell if the person was good or not just from one side of the story?
His father used to go to work, so he often talked to him about the border town. This is the border area between the two countries, where good and bad people mix, many foreigners come and go, he said, and there were also bandits who robbed the house and escaped after doing one sound.
"Jie, take care of yourself!"
Li Weiyue, as an adult woman, was educated with a lot of knowledge. He raised his hand and gave his sister the chestnut, "Did she lie to me?"
All the cloths had been summed up, and it was only one tael of silver. Before leaving, he wanted to give Chun Niang silver, but Chun Niang refused, and told her to count later.
People who do business all year are smarter, how could Chun Niang not understand the psychology of ordinary people.
When Li Weiyue judged someone, she only looked at their eyes and temperament. Someone with pure eyes might not be so bad. As a doctor, he has his own professional sensibilities.
As he approached Chun Niang, he took a closer look. Chun Niang's nails had a rather deep gap, and his entire body emitted the smell of plants. At first glance, he looked like someone who had been making medicine for many years.
"Little sister, it's true to be careful, but the specific analysis of a particular problem also depends on whether we have something worth cheating on."
Li Weiyue took the opportunity to educate her sister, having a good heart was a good thing, but her wisdom would hurt her, and at a young age, one had to be free, she said, and leave everything to her as her sister.
"Jie, I found out that you're different from before."
After Li Jinhu thought about it carefully. What his brother said was right. She was hurt by her relatives back home, and she was used to thinking about the worst in everything.
"Yes." Yeah."
Li Weiyue's eyelids twitched, and she thought, finally getting here. He lowered his eyes and looked disappointed, "If you don't make a change, you will be skinned and oppressed by the Li family. The one who has died once need not fear."
Xiao Lingchuan was greatly distressed by the fact that his future wife was pretending to be strong. He cannot express himself. Recalling what his brothers had said while on his way, persuading the woman with food, he hurriedly pointed to the big sign opposite him, "Century-old brand, Crystal Elbow Flower."
"It's not good to go to Chun Niang's house empty-handed, let's buy one and take it there."
Li Weiyue immediately made up her mind. He saw many people queuing in front of the door, followed by Xiao Lingchuan and divided into two groups. He took Li Jinhu to the grocery store opposite to buy some pots and pans for home.
Yongji Grocery Store was the first in the border town. This is a bit like a modern, self-selected supermarket. There are several areas in it, including oil, salt, sauces and vinegar, tea and wine, cloth and clothing, as well as needles and thread, knick-knacks, bed linen, gauze, all available.
"Mrs is small, it's a basket in the corner, you have to be careful, if you break something, you have to pay for it."
Before entering the door, the attendant gave each person a wooden card with a number written on it, and handed the wooden card over during the settlement.
"Jie, I've never been to Yongji."
After Li Jinhu entered the door, she was blown away by the items on the shelf, but after taking a closer look at the prices above, she shook her head again.
Everyone in the village brought a bottle of soy sauce, which cost a few cents, but there was no bulk soy sauce in the Yongji store, all the soy sauce was packed in a porcelain bottle, he said, which is at least a few cents more expensive than regular soy sauce.
