Chapter 48: Knock on the door?
Mrs. Chen knew what Third Grandpa meant, but she pretended to be confused, shook the old cotton-padded clothes in her hands and shouted: "When I was in my hometown, it only cost more than a hundred yuan to make a new cotton-padded clothes. But when I got to Yuchang Mansion, it cost five yuan." One hundred big bucks? Five hundred big bucks, third uncle, it can equal the harvest of one acre of our land. The harvest of one acre of land can be exchanged for an old cotton coat. Isnt this a scam? "
These old cotton-padded clothes have been washed several times, and the cotton inside has clumps, and they are not as warm as wearing new cotton-padded clothes.
The more Chen thought about it, the more her heart ached, and the angrier she became: "No, we can't have these old cotton clothes. Take them back and change them. If they don't change them, we will knock on the door."
Knock on the door? The third grandfather laughed angrily. Mrs. Chen thought this was Gujia Village, so she was allowed to do whatever she wanted? They were able to buy back these old cotton-padded clothes because they acted quickly. Those victims who arrived later than them could only buy woolen clothes made of tangled hemp and old cotton wool.
Gu Dagui grabbed the three old cotton-padded clothes in Chen's hand and cursed: "Are you finished? You also know that was in my hometown. Where are we now? It's in Yuchang Mansion thousands of miles away. Are you still here?" If you want to cause trouble on other people's territory, I think you are tired of living."
The strong dragon does not overwhelm the snake. They are just the victims who have escaped.
Mrs. Chen was scolded by Gu Dagui and did not dare to yell anymore, but whispered: "This is too expensive... We don't have much money in our hands. Brother Wang is still sick. If Brother Fa keeps freezing, then What to do?
As he spoke, he started to cry. While crying, he said to Gu Dafu: "Uncle, our family is not divided. You can't watch Brother Wang and Brother Fa freeze to death."
When Gu Dagui heard this, he was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to hit Chen. Ms. Chen hurriedly escaped, ran to the side, pulled Fa Geer, hugged Wang Geer who was still sleeping and cried softly.
"Dagui, stop." Gu Dafu scolded Gu Dagui. After a moment of silence, he said to the third grandfather: "Third uncle, if our family pays more, please give us five old cotton coats and two thick leather coats."
Mr. Chen is right, their family is not divided, he should be in charge of the food and clothing of the whole family.
Gu Dagui said: "Brother, we don't need you to contribute money. We will pay it ourselves. Although our family is not divided into separate houses, we all have the money for each house. There is no reason for you to give us money."
Dad was worried that they would get separated on the road to escape, so he had already distributed the family's money to them, one share for each room. The eldest brother did not get an extra copper, so there was no reason to buy cotton clothes for the family now.
Gu Dafu has experienced the evil people killing the victims, and now he attaches great importance to family ties: "Dagui, if you still treat me as your eldest brother, stop talking about it."
"Brother..." Gu Dagui didn't want it, but Gu Dafu directly took out three taels of silver and handed it to the third grandfather.
Gu Jinli picked up some old cotton-padded clothes and gave them to Gu Jinxiu, Mistress Cui, and Brother Cheng: "Mom, eldest sister, please put on your cotton-padded clothes quickly. Don't get cold."
Mrs. Cui and Gu Jinxiu took the old cotton-padded clothes and covered the sleeping Brother Cheng and Third Grandma before putting on their own cotton-padded clothes. As soon as they put on the old cotton-padded clothes, they felt much warmer and their mouths were no longer purple from the cold. , hands and feet are stiff.
What Gu Jinli was holding was a gray cotton coat with a few holes in it. She opened the holes and pulled out a bit of cotton that had turned yellow after washing. After confirming that the stuffing inside was really cotton, she sighed in her heart: This is really a cotton coat. A chaotic dynasty.
There were soybeans in the Chu Dynasty, but there was no such thing as tofu. Soybeans were one of the staple foods of the people in Chu Dynasty and were used for cooking and eating. There were Wubao in the Han Dynasty, but they could not raise private soldiers; the style of clothes they wore was also The similarity with the Han Dynasty made her think that the Chu Dynasty was the ancient Han Dynasty.
But the Chu Dynasty had thousands of households, which is like the Ming Dynasty.
Now, she knows that there is cotton in the Chu Dynasty.
Cotton began to appear in the Song Dynasty. Before that, the ancients used catkins, reed catkins, and various fluffs to keep out the cold.
In short, the Chu Dynasty was like Hua Xia, but different from Hua Xia. It was a combination of Han, Song, and Ming dynasties.
Gu Jinli put on his old cotton coat and ran back to ask Third Grandpa: "Third Grandpa, have you bought the medicinal materials?"
I bought it, and its in this basket. Third Grandpa said, pointing to the basket at Qin Sanlangs feet.
This time they not only bought clothes to keep out the cold, but also some whole grains and medicinal materials.
Yuchang Mansion was also affected by the disaster. The nearby farmers did not have much food. They only sold them some sweet potatoes and beans, but compared to eating grass roots and leaves, these coarse grains were considered delicious.
As for the medicinal materials, Gu Jinli specifically asked to buy them.
The types of medicinal materials she could find were too few, and there were two important medicinal herbs for treating wind and cold that were not available at all. If she wanted everyone to get better quickly, she had to buy medicine.
Since they couldn't get into Fucheng, Third Grandpa and the others bought medicine from the barefoot doctor in a nearby village, but the amount of medicine they bought was not large. Fortunately, they bought all the medicines that mainly treat wind and cold.
Upon hearing Third Grandpas words, Qin Sanlang took out the bundles of herbs from under the basket and handed them to Gu Jinli: Xiao Yu, take it.
