The Village Doctress Chapter 297: Buying jewelry for Chinese New Year

"Open it." Lin Fufu said to Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng was also curious, when he heard Lin Fufu calling him to open it, he immediately raised the corner of his mouth in agreement.

After Xiao Feng opened the iron box, it was wrapped in red silk and satin, and he didn't know what was wrapped in red silk and satin.

Lin Fen and Liu Qin looked at it with their heads together.

Lin Fufu curled his lips at Liu Qin again, "Here, open the inside and have a look."

Liu Qin was even more curious when he saw that there were so many other ways.

He reached out and opened the red silk layer by layer, and there was still red silk inside.

"This?" Liu Qin looked at Lin Fufu.

"Open it, give Xiao Feng the end of the red silk, and shake off the rest." The corners of Lin Fufu's lips curled slightly.

Liu Qin endured his curiosity and followed what Lin Fufu said.

After shaking it away, Lin Fen exclaimed: "There are words embroidered on this silk!"

"What's the word?" Liu Qin asked immediately.

"Fu Lu is continuous..." Lin Fen stretched out her finger and read it word by word.

Lin Fufu smiled slightly and said, "The next one."

Shake off again.

"The embroidery on this one is making progress."

"Next one." Lin Fufu smiled.

"This is loving the people like a son."

"Happy New Year."

"It's all words of blessing?" Liu Qin tilted his head, feeling that he was starting to feel something.

Lin Fen still didn't understand, she looked at Lin Fufu and asked: "Gospel, I don't know how many good words those officials have heard, will they like it if we give this?"

"I don't care if they like it or not. We just like it." Lin Fufu's voice became cold.

Then looking at the thoughtful Liu Qin, he said: "You take the waiter and waiter of our restaurant, and hold these banners and send them to the county government mansion in a lively manner. Then along the way Spread the word."

Liu Qin returned to his senses, and immediately said: "This is easy to handle, but I don't know what to spread."

The corners of Lin Fufu's lips curled slightly, and a sarcasm came out, "Just say that Mr. Jiang came to support the shop on the day it opened, and that Mr. Jiang County Prime Minister said that he supports the protection of foreign merchants to do business in Qinglian County. As long as you follow the laws of the imperial court to teach taxation, you will definitely protect them vigorously. And we, the small people of Shengdou, are grateful for the adults who love the people like children, and to show our hearts, we made banners for those adults in the county government!"

After listening to Lin Fufu's explanation, Liu Qin's eyes lit up for a while, then he jumped up and clapped his hands, saying, "Oh, this idea is good, this idea is wonderful!"

Lin Fufu's method didn't cost much money, and he forced those officials to put a high hat on their heads. He loves the people like a son. Now that he has received such a good reputation, he can't do anything that doesn't love the people. Come.

At least, even if those officials are gnashing their teeth with hatred, at least on the surface they can't do anything to be criticized.

Of course, these officials are old fritters in the officialdom, and they won't let ordinary people take advantage of them.

However, what Lin Fufu did was actually pretending to be stupid. Those officials saw that she was just a little girl, and they would be laughed at if they cared too much.

Maybe, it can really make Liu Ji Restaurant and Lin Fufu's shops run smoothly...

"But Gospel, it's already thirty years old, don't those officials all go back to celebrate the New Year?" Lin Fen asked worriedly.

Liu Qin laughed, looked at Lin Fen and said, "Sister Fen, you don't understand. Now Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess is in charge, ordering local officials to have fun with the people, such as festivals, they have to stay in the official residence and the local area. Most of the people live together. Most of them let the family members go back to their hometown to spend the New Year with their parents, or simply bring the old parents over to spend the New Year together.”

That is to say, those officials must be in the official residence.

"I originally thought that as long as this big gift is sent over, as long as there are people in the government office, they have to accept it. It would be even better if all the officials stayed in the government office. The officials will definitely take the lead to welcome us This is a great gift." Lin Fufu pursed his lips.

"Yeah, then I'll take someone with me." Liu Qin said cheerfully, he likes to do these lively things, and today is the second half of the New Year's Eve, those people who want to buy cheap New Year's goods They will come out in the second half of the New Year's Eve to buy the end-of-year goods, which will be more lively.

"Well, the brothers who are taken out today will each receive one or two taels of silver as hard work." Lin Fufu said with a smile.

"Okay." Liu Qin agreed, looked at Lin Fen and said, "Sister Fen is recorded in the public account."

Lin Fen smiled and nodded.

Lin Fufu said to Lin Fen again: "Sister Fen, let's go to eat quickly. After we finish eating, we will also buy some New Year's goods."

She and Lin Fen and Liu Qin have informed Master Jiang's family that they will not go back during the Chinese New Year and will hand over the restaurant to Master Jiang.

Lin Fen agreed happily after hearing this.

I have been in the county for three or four days, but I really haven't gone out for a stroll.

After lunch, Lin Fufu explained a few more words to Master Jiang, and then he and Lin Fen took a carriage to the busiest market in the county.

The coachman belonged to Huangfu Jin, he was a young man with excellent equestrian skills, and he was unattractive. Since he was also a young man, Lin Fufu usually didn't talk to him much.

Anyway, she knows that this young man is unusual.

"Gospel, I've done an inventory of today's accounts, but you haven't read it yet." Lin Fen remembered this, and said to Lin Fuspel.

"There are so many things that I forgot to read." Lin Fufu smiled, stretched out his hand to open the curtain of the carriage, and looked outside. There was a sea of ​​people. Lin Fufu looked back at Lin Fen again, and said, "You and I said the same."

"Including this morning's incident, there are more than 8,200 taels of silver." Lin Fen narrowed his eyes and glanced outside, admiring: "This county is really lively and tense. , This is the first time in my life that I have seen so many people and such a bustling street market."

Lin Fufu heard that there were more than 8,200 taels of silver in half a day today, and he was very happy. Hearing Lin Fen's exclamation again, he gave her a blank look, "You are only a little old, what are you talking about for the first time in your life?"

Lin Fen laughed, thought for a while, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said to Lin Fufu: "I guessed it in my heart, our restaurant has been open for two and a half days, and there are a total of more than 33,000 taels The total turnover of silver, after deducting labor wages, food materials, and various miscellaneous expenses, can earn about 27,000 taels of silver."

Lin Fufu nodded, almost earning this.

"Gospel, you are the one who owns the shop of the restaurant, and you are not alone in the decoration and purchase of furniture." Lin Fen naturally turned to her, and said, "I'll make money by the end of this year, just The ones you spent should be deducted first."

Seeing that Lin Fen was only thinking about himself, Lin Fufu was also very warm in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Miss Fen, you are in a hurry. Brother Liu has already told me about these things. When dividing the money, first treat me as a restaurant Return the more than two thousand taels of silver spent, and then divide the bill."

Lin Fen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

But Lin Fufu felt that there was not much to spend on decorating the restaurant and buying the necessary furniture. In fact, according to her idea, she would leave alone.

But when she told Liu Qin about this, Liu Qin firmly disagreed. He insisted on paying back the money Lin Fufu had advanced before dividing the bill.

Lin Fufu couldn't resist him, so he let him go.

"I earned money in two and a half days at the end of the year, and I will share the money after the next year. It's too late now." Lin Fufu laughed.

"Yes." Lin Fen naturally said nothing.

Lin Fufu turned around and opened the small wooden box of huanghuali, and took out a delicate purse from it and handed it to Lin Fen, "Sister Fen, I also earned a lot from running an inn and a few shops. That’s all, the small snacks sold in this grocery store are greatly contributed by you and Sister Fang. I thought about sharing some bonuses with you and Sister Fang. It is estimated that each of you will share three thousand taels of silver. You put it away. Sister Fang still has one more."

When Lin Fen saw that Lin Fufu had just given her three thousand taels of silver when he opened his mouth, Lin Fen was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands, unable to speak.

"Take it, this is what you and Sister Fang deserve." Lin Fufu never treats his own people badly, and the money is only for the past few months. If the business improves next year, he will share even more .

This is also one of the reasons why she and Lin Fen said that she wanted to buy a house for Lin Fen and Lin Fang in the county town as their dowry.

Lin Fen still didn't dare to answer, so Lin Fufu smiled: "If you will always help me in the future, then accept this."

After hearing what Lin Fufu said, Lin Fen reached out to pick it up, and she also figured it out, Fufu is so smart that there is no shortage of money, and she is willing to reward herself, so she just goes ahead.

"Of course I want to help you. Back then, when we didn't follow you, our family couldn't even eat enough." Lin Fen sighed.

When Lin Fufu saw her mentioning this, he said: "Then go back to celebrate the New Year this time and have a good talk with your second uncle and second aunt. Your parents are getting older every year, and your second aunt has already regretted it. Let's talk about you and Fang My sister is doing well now, no matter what foolish things they do, you are already far away. During the Chinese New Year, the family should be intimate."

Lin Fufu felt that it was all caused by lack of money. If at least the second aunt had money back then, she wouldn't have done such a foolish thing.

"Yes. I know." Lin Fen heard Lin Fufu's words, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled wryly: "There are no parents who are not right. I have a bad temper, and I still blame them in my heart , but as you said, now Fang’er and I can earn money with our own hands and live a good life, it’s really hard to talk about going together, I really don’t like it, so let’s just stay away.”

Lin Fufu nodded.

Thinking of one more thing, I couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong with Gospel?" Lin Fen saw that her expression was not good, and immediately leaned towards Lin Fuspel.

"I originally thought that my second uncle and second aunt would guard my village in Dashu Village, so that they could leave Calabash Village and do work with me, so as to avoid being taken care of by grandma, but now Grandma wants me to ask my second uncle to take care of Zhuangzi, but I don't dare." Lin Fufu and Lin Fen made it clear that they were afraid that the sisters' relationship would be divided because of this incident.

Lin Fen didn't think it was a problem at all when he heard it, and waved his hand directly: "Gospel, don't be embarrassed, I know what kind of person my father is. Since grandma wants to strangle my father to play tricks, I will not let my parents go there. Don't worry, I will explain this to my parents when I go back today."

Seeing that Lin Fen knew clearly, Lin Fufu was also relieved.

Lin Fen thought about it in his heart. It seems that he has to discuss it with Fang'er when he goes back. He might as well buy more than ten acres of good land for his parents with money, so that they can only focus on farming and don't worry about it. .

But if you can't even keep the fields, you're really self-inflicted.

"Sister Fen, I think there are too many people ahead, so let's park the carriage aside and go down." Seeing that there were too many people and the carriage was slower, Lin Fufu suggested to Lin Fen.

Lin Fen also felt good, so the two sisters got out of the carriage and asked the coachman to pull over.

The coachman's surname was Tian. Seeing that Lin Fufu wanted to get out of the carriage, he frowned almost imperceptibly, but he still did.

"There is a bank in front of you, Sister Fen, go and have a look." Lin Fufu suggested with a smile.

To be honest, although Lin Fufu has earned a lot of money, he has never bought jewelry for himself.

Sister Lin Fen is the same.

Lin Fufu thought that by the end of the year, she would have earned about 4,000 taels of silver at her clothing store, and nearly 20,000 taels of silver at the grocery store in a day and a half, plus bean sprouts and fresh broad beans. The last time I heard Liu Qin say that there will be seven or eight thousand taels of silver at the end of the year, and her inn these days will also receive 14,500 taels of silver after excluding costs...

Not to mention the 24,000 taels of silver she received for selling hot pot recipes.

After earning so much money, why doesn't she treat herself better and buy some beautiful jewelry to wear?

"Oh, this silver building is called Yinbao Building. This is one of the most famous silver buildings in Wei Dynasty." Lin Fufu walked closer and found that it was Yinbao Building.

"This is the Yinbao Building, no wonder it looks so grand from a distance." Lin Fen also looked up at the four-story wooden building.

"Go, go in, let's buy some good jewelry for ourselves, and bring some home for Sister Fang and Second Auntie. I also have Grandma Li and Aunt Qin at home." Lin Fufu laughed.

Lin Fen naturally now also knows that Lin Fufu has a thick pocket, so naturally he won't hinder her interest anymore.

Seeing the two little girls Lin Fufu and Lin Fen entering the store, the little girl from Yinbaolou immediately greeted her happily.

He could tell that although the two girls were not dressed too luxuriously, they were clean and refreshing.

Such a girl should have a little money at home to buy some silver jewelry for her daughter to dress up.

"Girls, we have silver ornaments on the first floor, gold ornaments on the second floor, and pearls and jade on the third floor. What do you two girls want?" The customer chooses by himself, and it seems that the store is very thoughtful and polite.

"Fufu, let's go to the first floor to have a look." Lin Fen leaned close to Lin Fufu and whispered in Lin Fufu's ear.

Lin Fufu shook his head, "Let's go to the second floor."

"The second floor is gold jewelry. We bought gold to wear as soon as we came back from the county. People thought we had earned a lot of silver. Especially with grandparents and uncles, there might be trouble again." Lin Fen said worriedly.

Lin Fufu frowned, and said indifferently: "Then we won't be able to buy gold jewelry after earning silver? What will happen to them? Just buy gold jewelry."

Lin Fen grabbed Lin Fufu, "My good sister, let's go buy some silver jewelry first, and come back later to look at the gold jewelry, okay?"

Seeing that Lin Fen really couldn't hold back, Lin Fufu followed her to the first floor.

She noticed Xiao Er's expression, showing no contempt or impatience at all.

Seeing Lin Fufu's eyes sweeping over, Xiao Er immediately smiled and said, "Girls, our Silver Treasure Building has the best silver and gold jewelry. Not only is the workmanship exquisite, but the style is also the most fashionable. style."

Lin Fufu nodded, remembering that silver is said to ward off evil spirits, then buy a long-lived silver lock for Xiaobao and Xiaobei.

Go to the first floor and look around, and sure enough, as Xiao Er said, the silver ornaments are very delicate and the style is good.

Lin Fen came to the jewelry store to buy jewelry for the first time, seeing those beautiful silver jewelry, his hands and feet were shaking.

Lin Fufu stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, "Choose whatever you want, anyway, you have money on you."

This is to tell her that she has money on her body, so don't panic.

Lin Fen turned around and smiled at Lin Fufu shyly.

I was almost ashamed just now.

Lin Fufu saw that many young girls and sisters-in-law were looking at the silver jewelry. There were a lot of people on this floor, so she became impatient.

"Sister Fen, buy whatever you fancy." She whispered.

Lin Fen nodded, beckoned to Xiao Er who came in after them, pointed to a pair of small silver earrings engraved with hearts on the red velvet cloth of the cabinet and said: "Little Brother, what's the price?"

When Xiao Er saw it, he immediately smiled and said: "These silver earrings are exactly what the girl wears, a pair of thirty Wen."

Lin Fen felt that the earrings were small and delicate, and not expensive, so he immediately squinted his eyes and said, "Give me two pairs."

When Lin Fufu saw it, it was too small.

"Are there any bigger ones?" she asked immediately.

"It's not big, it's just like this." Xiaoer was happy with Lin Fen's coolness, how did he know that the two girls would be fine if they didn't bargain, and they were too small...

He was a little dazed.

"Gospel, I really like this pair of silver earrings. I'm thinking of buying a pair for me and Fang'er." Lin Fen said, paused, and pointed upstairs, "You like gold jewelry, I'm I was thinking of buying you a pair of gold earrings when I get to the second floor later."

"I don't need mine, I'll buy it myself." Lin Fufu smiled and waved his hands. Although Lin Fen liked it and didn't want to say anything, he still felt that the pair of silver earrings were too small.

But Xiao Er has already packed two pairs of silver earrings in a small red velvet pouch and put them in the small bamboo basket in his hand. This bamboo basket is square and square, with a lid on it.

This is specially for the fancy jewelry of the guests, and the cover on it is to prevent petty thieves from sneaking in and stealing or snatching the jewelry.

"Second brother, give me this long-lived silver lock." Lin Fufu said to Xiao Er, pointing to a silver lock as big as a child's fist.

"Girl, this silver lock costs one tael and fifty Wen each." Xiao Er hurriedly quoted the price.

Lin Fufu nodded, indicating that she would like it.

The little girl laughed so hard that her mouth almost went behind her ears.

Lin Fen chose another pair of earrings for Fengshi. The thick earrings cost 80 Wen a pair, and then she chose a pair of silver bracelets for Fengshi.

This silver bracelet is also thicker and better made, so you need three taels of silver for a pair.

"Sister Fen, let's go up to the third floor after buying it." Lin Fufu also picked out two small plain silver hairpins for his own use, each hairpin is fifty cents.

Seeing that Xiaoer had taken it, she looked at the sky. Although she knew that she was going fast, she couldn't stay in the county for too long, or it would be dark when she rushed back to Hulu Village.

Seeing her looking up at the sky, Lin Fen knew what she was thinking, so she told Xiaoer that she wanted to go up to the second floor.

Xiao Er saw that they had already bought a lot of silver jewelry, and was feeling lucky today, when he met two proud customers, how did he know that these two girls didn't seem to have much money, but they still had to go to the second floor to buy gold jewelry Woolen cloth?

At this moment, as if he was happy for something, he hurriedly led the two of them upstairs to the second floor.

Lin Fufu became happy when he saw those golden ornaments.

I don't know why, although I am young, I just like gold.

As soon as she reached the second floor, she turned on the shopping mode.

He picked out three pairs of gold bracelets that were exactly the same, engraved with exquisite peony twig patterns, three pairs for her and Lin Fen and Lin Fang.

This gold bracelet is mainly exquisite and beautiful, but it is not thick, there is a small difference in weight, but because the two are big customers, Xiaoer specially invited the big shopkeeper's idea, and the three pairs of gold bracelets are all the same The prices are all 80, 20 and 80 Wen.

Afterwards, Lin Fufu bought another pair of small plain gold earrings, which only cost one tael of silver.

Lin Fufu bought another pair of thick gold earrings for Grandma Li, costing twenty or eighty Wen a pair.

Bought a gold hairpin for Aunt Qin, twenty or thirty Wen.

Finally, after thinking about it, she bought a thick gold bracelet for Mrs. Wu in order not to lose her mind.

This gold bracelet costs seven taels of silver.

In fact, there are also lighter gold bracelets, but Lin Fufu just thinks that those gold bracelets are not as good-looking as this one.

Since she was going to give it to someone else, she had to look at it for herself.

"Gospel, you bought a gold bracelet for grandma, then Fang'er and I will buy a gold ring for grandpa." Lin Fen said.

Lin Fufu thought about it too, she bought them all, if the second room didn't buy them, those people with long mouths would have to say Lin Fen and Lin Fang again.

"Buy it, so that grandma will know that we losers know how to give them something good after earning money." Lin Fufu said.

Lin Fen casually pointed to a gold ring worn by a not-so-thick old man and asked Xiao Er to take it out, and said with a sneer, "It's impossible to expect the old couple to think of us well in this life. I just bought it These are just to block their mouths."

Lin Fufu smiled and shook his head, even if he bought it, he couldn't keep his mouth shut. It's just to block the mouths of other people in the village.

She never expected to really stop Mr. Lin and the old couple.

"Girls, this gold ring costs one to two to sixty Wen." Xiaoer weighed the gold ring and told the price.

Lin Fen nodded, then looked at Lin Fufu and asked, "What do you want?"

Lin Fufu shook his head, "Let's look at it later, it's getting late now, it's time to go back."

At first, I wanted to visit the ready-to-wear store.

But fortunately, she took more than a dozen sets of ready-made clothes from the tailor shop and put them on the carriage, and it would be good to give Lin Fen and Lin Fang two sets for each of them.

Lin Fen said to Xiaoer: "Brother Xiaoer, we don't want to buy, take us to the counter to pay."
