Qin Yao stood on the street and silently observed the performance of her children. Seeing that they all adapted well, she really felt relieved and started purchasing furniture.
She didn't like wandering around, and she had a clear goal and basically knew what she wanted to buy. She chose the largest shop specializing in second-hand furniture in the grocery market and went straight in.
Those who do business have a poisonous eye. As soon as Qin Yao entered the door, the boss waved away the waiter after greeting an old customer and came up to her with a smile. He introduced her to the new sets of furniture in the store in a gentle tone.
Seeing Qin Yao's eyes fall on a pair of silver and red vase ornaments, she immediately asked the clerk to bring them closer so that she could see them.
On the other hand, he introduced: "I won't hide it from Madam. Most of these items, which seem to be made of good materials and of good workmanship, were confiscated from the government. Although some people think that these items are unlucky, I think they can allow customers to buy the best for the least amount of money." If you like something, it's worth it, what do you think?”
Qin Yao nodded, "I think so too. Then keep these pair of silver and red vases for me first, and then I can choose a few more. How about you help me calculate a good price with my sister?"
The boss immediately smiled and made a gesture of invitation, "Sister, you can take a look first. Once you're done, I'll ask the guy to move it over to you and put it together. It's easy to tell the price. The main thing is that you have to be satisfied."
Qin Yao saw the wool woven tapestry hanging on the wall and asked, "Do you have a ruler to help me measure it?"
The boss immediately brought a long ruler, measured the data and reported it to Qin Yao.
“Take this blanket too.” The size is just right for the hall upon entering.
There are many sets of tables and chairs for guests in the house. Qin Feng only has one set at home. There is not enough space for more than two guests. Qin Yao simply took a ruler and measured it while ordering two sets of tables and chairs with the same color and style.
Let's not say that the big stores have all the goods. They even sell lanterns, but they are not second-hand goods, they are all new.
In Qin Feng's house, there were only two broken paper lanterns hung on the door. The air leaked so much that the candles couldn't be lit at all.
Qin Yao clicked her tongue in disgust and said to the boss sister: "Bring me four pairs of long strings of red lanterns like this, and ten individual small lanterns."
She wants to brighten up those two people entering the small courtyard!
Then Qin Yao asked for eight flower pots, four large water tanks, four wooden barrels, a set of kitchen utensils, eight copper basins, four bathtubs, four beds, three dressing tables, and two sets of tableware. It ensures that even if there are guests at home, there will be enough dishes for entertaining guests.
Qin Yao's selection was straightforward, and in half an hour she had selected everything in the store that met her needs.
The boss followed her with the abacus, and both sides stopped almost at the same time.
Qin Yao: “That's all.”
Boss: "The total is fifty-eight taels and thirty-seven cents. I think you are very happy, sister. I will give you the change and only charge you fifty-eight taels."
Qin Yao nodded, paid quickly, told the boss the address of Qin Feng's house, and asked them to find someone to send it there, and move on to the next house.
Except for the main room which has a decent set of bedding and bed tents, the other rooms in the second courtyard are all bare, looking cold and dark, not sunny at all.
Home should be the most comfortable and relaxing place. Qin Yao likes her home to be colorful, bright and warm.
There is a cloth store in the grocery market, and Qin Yao bought a bunch of ready-made bed curtains, quilts, and bedding such as cushioned backrests.
Even the embroidered fabric on the stool was bought, which she doesn't need herself, but the fourth lady is such a cute little girl, so the room must be pink, tender and beautiful, even the table legs are exquisite.
Qin Yao completely thought of decorating a dollhouse and bought a bunch of brightly colored soft decorations and ornaments for the girls' houses.
Having bought a lot of things, it was almost time. When she was about to meet the children at the end of the street, Qin Yao was suddenly startled. She seemed to have forgotten to buy something for Liu Ji's house. After thinking about it, I went back to the first store to find the boss sister and bought two more large bookshelves, a set of Eight Immortals tables, and a set of bookcases.
Having bought everything, let's buy him two more good beddings. The weather needs to be either hot or cold, and not sleeping well will affect his brain.
If you have a bad brain and can't read, that will be troublesome.
Due to this delay, Qin Yao was the last one to gather at the end of the street. Yin Le and the children had already spent their budget and bought what they wanted.
Carry out whatever you can, and ask the store to find someone to deliver it to Yongtong Lane for large items that you can't carry.
Qin Yao asked: "Have you bought everything?"
The big one and the four little ones nodded happily. Sanlang and Si Niang also took off the masks on their heads and covered their faces to show off.
The two cute little faces were covered by ferocious animal-faced masks. Qin Yao took half a step back. If they bumped into each other tonight, his father would be scared to death, right?
After saying, "Don't wear a mask at home at night," Qin Yao waved her hand, "Go home!"
The mother and son arrived home first, and it took half an hour before the shopping was delivered. The two mothers rolled up their sleeves and made arrangements, and the whole house changed drastically.
As dusk falls, all the lanterns in the front and backyard are lit. In a dark bungalow, the small courtyard with a two-story attic is like a lighthouse, trying to emit light and point the way home to people returning home at night.
The aroma of food wafted out from the courtyard. The child next door sniffed it and exclaimed: "It's meat!"
Even in the capital, there are not many people who can afford to eat meat at the feet of the emperor. The smell of meat in Yongtongfang wafted out from the Qin Mansion and spread to the entire city, making countless babies cry with greed.
Saburo's buttocks were practically stuck to the edge of the stove. He was sitting on a small stool, pretending to be helping to light the fire, but in fact he secretly reached out his little hand, touched it quickly, and put a piece of freshly baked stew into his mouth.
Chew Chew Chew and frowned, "Senior Sister Le, it's salty."
Since the master and Awang were not at home, it was time for dinner again. Yin Le, who was forced to cook, unceremoniously kicked this thief out of the kitchen!
Saburo licked the corner of his mouth and wanted to say that I didn't mind it being salty, but after one look at Senior Sister Le's cold face, he decided to leave.
Running out of the kitchen and into the front yard, every room except Dad's house was lit up.
The eldest brother and the second brother are happily making the bed they bought newly. The younger sister is holding her precious piano and trying to find a place for it.
Aniang is sitting on the newly bought grand master's chair in the main hall. The table beside her is filled with various snacks. She throws food into her mouth with one hand and picks up the teacup to drink water with the other hand. Her eyes are dull and her mind is empty.
Saburo walked around the newly bought large water tank in the yard, thinking to himself: When will dinner be served?
“Aniang, let me go to the door to see if Dad and Uncle Awang are back.” He said to the main hall, and received a slow “hmm” in response, and Sanlang ran towards the door.
After running out for a while, he ran back again and shouted excitedly into each room: "They are back, let's have dinner, let's have dinner!"
He rushed into the kitchen happily, actively moving bowls and grabbing chopsticks.
However, Qin Yao and others were brought back to their senses by his roaring voice, and they all put down what they were doing and came to the courtyard. (End of chapter)
