Chapter 0608 It’s almost Chinese New Year, let’s go shopping! ヾ(@^▽^@)ノ

The next day, in the morning. Novel.

Although last night, the group of gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters dispersed and fell asleep after two thunders, worried that after dawn, even a little Annie would get up before Si Shi, except for a fat pig.

Because, her aunt Li said that she would take her to the market this morning?

Of course, there is also: today she finally put on a well-fitting dress!

The reason why little Annie waited so long before seeing her new clothes was actually impossible, because, if a woman in the Song Dynasty did not have a female worker, she would almost never get married! So, when marrying a wife is equivalent to getting a master of hand-made tailoring, under the influence of this self-sufficient small peasant economy, commercial activities are not developed, so that there are very few ready-made clothes on the streets, and even less children's clothes. More shops just sell fabrics directly so that each household can buy them back and make them homemade?

"Uh-huh……"

(`)

In the gate of Li's house, Little Annie was still hesitantly looking at her novel outfit, looking a little hesitant, as if she didn't know whether she should wear such a "strange costume" and follow Aunt Li to go out to show off her?

Anyway, this is the first time she has worn this kind of clothing that makes her feel very distorted and uncomfortable.

"Aunt Li... can't we change into another outfit?"

(w)

"Look, this outfit is not smooth and comfortable, but look here, and here... the sleeves are too long and wide, and the skirt is a little too long, and they are all dragged to the floor! Also, the soles of the small shoes you embroidered are also hard, and these flat shoes are not easy to wear at all, and they are not in line with human mechanics at all. If you wear them for a long time, the soles of the feet will hurt..."

At this time, Anne was wearing a white and pink floral waist-length skirt.

Rusun is a type of Hanfu. The short clothes worn on the upper body and the skirt tied on the lower body are collectively called Rusun. It is a typical "top and bottom skirt" garment. The top is called "ru". It is shorter in length and is generally not longer than the knees, and the lower body is called "sun"!

The ru skirt is divided into a waist-length ru skirt, a high-waist ru skirt, and a chest-length ru skirt according to the height of the skirt. The ru skirt is divided into a cross-collar ru skirt and a straight-neck ru skirt according to the difference between the inside and the ru skirt is divided into a single ru and a duplex ru skirt according to the difference between the inside and the ru skirt is close to the ru skirt! The single ru skirt is close to the ru skirt, which is generally worn in summer, while the ru skirt is close to the ru skirt, which is suitable for wearing in winter.

"I don't like it very much..."

┐(‘~`;)┌

Of course, the set of Annie was a duplex jacket. Although the one she wore on the outermost body was a short jacket, her cuffs were straightened to the tip of her little fingers, and they were wide and large... and the hem was half of her thighs. A bunch of silk belts were tied to the side of her waist, and a slip knot was tied to the side of her waist so that it could fall down naturally. As for the lower body, it was a bright red waist-length skirt, which was also very long, so I couldn't see the shoes anyway.

Although……

This dress made by Aunt Li won unanimous praise from everyone in the family!

However, Annie still felt that her outfit was too slow and had not been enchanted. Once she set fire to fight, she would definitely burn this kind of smooth fabric called silk! And the skirt was really too long, which affected her activity. Once she ran quickly, she might even step on her skirt and tripped to the ground with a "bang"?

Anyway, Annie doesn't like this kind of clothing that affects her fight and her fast running. She still likes to wear her little Red Riding Hood skirt or the battle armor of ghost agents?

"But Anne!"

"I think it's very good now, very awesome! Your friends all say it's very beautiful. No matter how far you look, you're just like a little fairy. Why don't you like it?"

Looking at the little girl with soft and beautiful blonde hair, green eyes and white skin in front of me wearing a skirt sewn with her own stitch, Xu Jiaorong felt very beautiful. She was simply a little beauty who was fascinated by the death. The kind of storytellers' descriptions such as falling fish, falling geese, and shy flowers, may be just like this?

Of course, the premise is that the people of the Song Dynasty can accept this kind of blond and blue-eyed girl from the Fan country, otherwise those ordinary people who can't stand it will definitely not be able to appreciate it.

But no matter what, this is the first set of robe skirts that Xu Jiaorong completed, and there are many sets that she needs to slowly think about and sew!

Originally, she was very confident...

But who would have thought that this little guy Annie didn't appreciate it at all?

If it were another child, she would have been wearing it and showing off to other friends, right? Even Xu Jiaorong herself, if she had such a dress made of top-notch silk material when she was a child, she might have woken up in her dreams.

So, now seeing this little girl reacting like this, Xu Jiaorong felt helpless. She didn't know what she should do to satisfy the other party and herself?

“The cuffs are too wide….”

"And you see: This skirt is too inconvenient. I took a step and took a small step and walked slowly and quickly, but I would definitely step on the skirt if I took a big step or ran!"

Anyway, Annie doesn't like wearing this outfit that affects combat at all! Maybe, if she really fights with some people, she may just burn it up and then transform into a dress she likes in an instant?

"well……"

"I have forgotten that you are a wild girl... Well, in two days I will sew a skirt for you that is not that long and the cuffs are not that wide?"

Xu Jiaorong compromised...

After all, the little guy has to sew one or two pieces of money for the other party to satisfy the other party. Of course, the rest should be done according to her original ideas. You can't do it casually, so as not to let outsiders see jokes.

At most, it is to compromise with two sets, and the other ones are determined not to compromise. In her opinion, children should not make so many requests, otherwise they will not be able to raise them in the future if they are spoiled!

"Okay! Then I'll go back and replace it first!!"

*(*)*

Little Annie cheered, then lifted up the corner of her skirt, planned to turn her head and run back to her room, and then change the floor-drag skirt that made her feel very twisted.

"no!"

However, a somewhat rough hand grabbed Anne's little arm steadily, with a doting and an undeniable smile in her eyes, ruthlessly shattering her request.

"It's getting late now. Let's wear it like this today. When you change it, the market will be almost over!"

Xu Jiaorong had been busy for a long time before he could get out of this trick. He was about to take the other party out to show off to the women in his neighbors. How could he let this little guy run back to change to that kind of skirt?

Now is the time when she shows her achievements, she has to carry the other person out for a walk around whatever she says.

"I changed my clothes very quickly, and I changed it back in a moment!"

(o)

Anne said that she had spells, and just ran back to the room, took off the troublesome body, and then used the spell to exchange it for one second, which would definitely not last long.

"no!"

"We have to prepare New Year's goods in advance, but we don't have time to wait for you. Let's leave Annie! The market will not last too long. Later, when it's late noon, people will be almost dispersed."

After saying that, Xu Jiaorong pulled the other party out of the door without any doubt.

The door was not locked, but she was just a cover-up and was not closed, and she was not afraid of thieves entering! After all, there were eight men, women, big and small inside. Which thief would dare to break in casually?

"New Year's goods? What is New Year's goods?!"??(*ロ)ノ

When the other party was holding hands, there was no way. Little Annie had to take such a twisted step, bit the bullet, and follow the other party step by step.

Annie expressed her understanding of the word "英" and the word "冲" is also very simple, but when the two words are combined, the word is too rare and she has never heard of it.

"It is the things and goods that need to be used for the New Year last year, and they are built into 'New Year's goods'!"

"Everything that you eat, wear, wear, use, or offer, such as gifts from Wang Yuanwai, dried fruits and vegetables, fresh meat, raw squeezes, various cooked foods, etc., must be bought in advance and prepared! Otherwise, it will be difficult to buy in recent days, and the price will at least double the price!"

In the Song Dynasty, the materials are not as rich as those in later generations, and it takes a long time for many things to be transported to the city, so Xu Jiaorong only knew that if they didn’t prepare them early, they would have to buy them and sell them when they wanted to. After all, everyone was going to celebrate the New Year, and she didn’t want to ask others to pick up the remaining things!

Besides, if it is delayed until the end of the year, even if she, Xu Jiaorong, wants to buy it, she will not be able to buy it!

So she must prepare at least ten days and half a month in advance! If it were those in remote villages and wealthy families, they might have to travel between towns more than one month in advance to prepare for the New Year purchase?

"It sounds like the kind I used to be called 'Christmas'?"

(_)

While walking forward and listening curiously for a while, Anne quickly figured it out.

“What is Christmas?”

Now, it was Xu Jiaorong's turn to be a little curious and puzzled.

“Um…”

"It's just... it's just a group of people who celebrate their birthdays for a god I don't know, gathered together to celebrate their ability to stop working and eat and drink?"

Σ( ̄д ̄;)!!

Anyway, in Little Annie's impression, that Christmas should be like that!

Especially in the world of mass effect, those untrustworthy people from Normandy 2 spacecraft were probably forgotten what the church looked like, but they still remember the day of holidays and rest?

"Celebrating the birthday of a god I don't know? Isn't believers also having holidays? Is there such a strange thing in the Western world?"

Xu Jiaorong was a little confused.

Because in their Song Dynasty, only those sincere believers would remember the birth of the immortal gods they worshiped, and then burn incense and paper on specific days or celebrate with their families. For example, Xu Jiaorong herself, whenever she remembers the birth of the immortal gods, the Jade Emperor, the Holy Mother, Bodhisattva, Prince Guan, Zhao Tianjun and other immortal gods, would she give a stick of incense as long as she remembers it?

And it is simply impossible to celebrate the birthday of the gods that you don’t know or believe in!

"Of course there are, I've seen that strange guy anyway!"

(*^^*)

"Forget it, let's not talk about those strange guys! Let's go, little Annie, let's buy our New Year's goods! If you go late, people will pick all the good things in the market today!"

Xu Jiaorong didn't have that much curiosity, nor did she want to worry about the beliefs of the Western barbarians. She just wanted to hurry to the market and take down all the things she saw!

Moreover, today is just the first day! In her expectation, the procurement of New Year's goods will last at least several days to complete! Because, in today's market, everything that satisfies her will not appear, and she will have to work hard for a few days to achieve her goals.

"oh!"

"But, what exactly do we want to buy for our New Year's goods? You just said so much!"

∑(△)?!

Just like the other party just said a lot of food, clothes, wear, use, play, offer, etc.... In Xiao Annie's opinion, since she needs to buy so much, she should pull out the black donkey of Fairy Zixia to carry things!

That lazy thing, she doesn't work all day long, if she continues like that, if she gets fat one day, she will have to eat donkey meat and cook it!!

(`)

"Let me think about it..."

"Maybe our family needs... the wax medicine for soaking Tusu wine, buy some new cloth for everyone to make brocade clothes, and maybe buy one of the new calendars? Door gods of all sizes, peach talismans, Zhong Kui portraits, spring posts, golden colors, wisp flowers, banners, year-end plate boxes, wine eaves, sheep cavity, fruits, five-color paper money, basin, Pepsi, rubber teeth, etc."

"Anyway, I need to buy a lot of them, and it's always right for us to buy the right one!"

While pulling the little guy forward, Xu Jiaorong pointed out a lot of things when he opened his mouth, regardless of whether a little guy could understand it.

She now has a little regret that she has walked two streets after coming out. She has not met any of the familiar and mixed aunts and ladies who are usually familiar and quarrels, and she has no one to show off.

"Do you have to carry so many things alone? If we go back and ask the dead pig to come out for help, it may be too late?"

!∑(Д㎎)ノ

There are so many things, Annie will never help Aunt Li carry them. She is just a child, and a child can do nothing but play!!

“…”

"Annie, why did you say that to your Uncle Zhu?"

Although Elder Zhu looks wide-body and fat, he doesn’t taste like a Buddhist, but to say that others are a pig, this metaphor is a bit over!

In Xu Jiaorong's opinion, that person is just a blessing at most?

"But……"

"He is just a stupid pig, aren't you allowed me to say it?"

↑(')Ugly'(∞)'

Annie won't mind! What's wrong with the pig demon who can eat and sleep more than herself, saying a few words to him, he can't hear it anyway.

"Hey! You kid is really!"

Xu Jiaorong has not yet understood the true identities of the gods, Buddhas, demons and monsters. She just thinks that the newcomers in the family are a bit weird, but the other party has a few faces that look pretty good, which is enough.

"If you can't get it, let's just buy a little bit today and you can get it. Don't bother those guests!"

"But, little Annie, you remind me that our family needs to buy more New Year's goods this year. After all, now the family is rich and there are more people, and it is lively. You need to prepare several times more of those things!"

After thinking about it, Xu Jiaorong quickly made up his own idea and planned to double the number of New Year goods he planned.

“…”

"No matter how much I buy, I won't help you get it!"

(_).

In fact, Annie also decided that if today is not fun, she would not come out tomorrow and find a place to eat, drink and have fun!

“!!”

"You little dear! Don't worry, you don't need to take it. I didn't say I'd buy it once today!!"

Xu Jiaorong was angry and laughed. This lazy little nerd is sometimes innocent and sometimes he is so terrifying!

"That's good!"

"How long will it take? Where is the market?"

(; ̄◇ ̄)┘

After being pulled around for two more streets, Annie began to feel a little impatient... If it was too far, maybe she didn't have to wait for tomorrow, today or now, she didn't want to go!

"It's not far away, the largest market is right in front, we have to pick it up!"

"We have been having a lot of better life this year. We must pick the best New Year's goods. We cannot be wronged. We must have a good New Year!!"

Looking at the crowded entrance of the market street in the distance, Xu Jiaorong's fighting spirit began to become high, and even his pace became a little faster.

"It's really troublesome..."

"Sure enough, Uncle Colson is right. It's the most troublesome thing to go shopping with women like you!"

Inadvertently, Little Annie seemed to have said something wrong?!

“!!”

"You little devil, are you not a woman?"

Xu Jiaorong suddenly stopped and looked at a little guy with a stern face.

"I am a child, not a woman like you!"

(')

“…”

Looking at the proud little face of Zhang who was worthy of beating, Xu Jiaorong finally couldn't help but pinch it and twisted it half a circle.

"Ah! Don't twist my face, it hurts so much, I'm going to turn against you!!!"

(Д)

"Hmph! The little guy has a very bad temper. Tell me, who is that Uncle Ke Ershen?!"

Finally, Xu Jiaorong was still soft-hearted and soon let go without waiting for the other party to continue to struggle.

"It's not Ko Ershen, it's Colson. He's a bald uncle and a kind guy who likes to meddle in other people's business."

Yes, Uncle Colson is pretty good, but his sense of justice is a little bit stronger! That guy is just an ordinary earthling, and he always wants to save the world. It’s because of this that when he looked at the other party, Anne helped them a lot and formed the Bear ShieldDi?

Of course, it is also possible that she had asked for too much in that world and she felt a little sorry for her?

“…”

"Annie, do you have a good relationship with that Uncle Colson?"

After walking a few steps, Xu Jiaorong stopped hesitantly again, looking at the little man beside him with a little confusion.

"It's okay, is it just a sloppy?"

amp;amp;lt;(ˉ^ˉ)amp;amp;gt;

"Then why do you say bad things about others behind their backs?!"

Xu Jiaorong was a little angry.

What's wrong with this little guy? No matter whether the relationship is good or not, they like to say bad things about others and have no restraint?

"Did I just talk bad about him?"!!

"Why didn't there? You just said that he was a 'bald' uncle, that's bad things!"

“…”

"That's not bad, right?"

("□)

"He is bald by himself, can't I be allowed to say it? It's not that I burned his hair!"

(.)

"You still want to burn his hair?"

“…”

"I've thought about it..."

(w)

"Because it's half-bare and not bald, it looks bad!"

(°°)

During the conversation, one big and one small, they quickly walked to the entrance of the market.

"Wow! It's so lively..."

('

Although it is incomparable to the modern cities or interstellar cities that Anne has been to, the livelyness here is almost as good as the West of the same period.

The market is full of traffic outside the gate, and the market is full of people. The shops are full of shops. Various vendors, carriages, donkeys, wooden carriages, pawns, and naughty children come and go. The shouts of bargaining, bargaining, joking, scolding, and neighing animals are mixed together, making Annie see it for the first time

“…”

Xu Jiaorong shook her head. Since she was here now, she didn't plan to continue debate with the little guy.

"Amitabha!!"

Suddenly, without waiting for the two of them to enter, a Buddha's name suddenly rang behind them!

“Ohhh!”

"Just finished talking about bald grandfather, the bald grandfather arrived?!"

('

Annie was a little surprised. She had just told Aunt Li about the bald Uncle Colson, but now she is a real bald man!

“…”

Xu Jiaorong held back his laughter and secretly pulled the little guy's collar, reminding the other party not to block the face of a Taoist monk and confront others. After all, she and her official Li Gongfu had seen it. This monk Fahai really has his own tricks and would emit a Buddhist golden light, which seemed very powerful.

By the way!

The other party seemed to have said at that time... Little Annie is also a mage? However, they never took this matter to heart, so they forgot to ask questions!

“…”

When he heard the little girl's "unique" greeting method, Fahai also had a black line... However, when he heard the first time he met the other person by the West Lake, he felt relieved.

This little Annie guy is such a naughty boy with no scruples. He doesn't need to care too much about the other party. He just looked up and down in surprise, wearing Song Dynasty costumes and looking very fairy-like little girl.

"Amitabha, Anne's little donor, I'm going to return to Xiangguo Temple in Lin'an. Today I met two of you and said goodbye..."

Yes, Fahai is leaving!

If he hadn't happened to go into the city to get something and happened to meet this little donor Anne again, maybe he had sneaked back by himself and wouldn't have come to Jinshan Temple again in a short time.

“Huh?”

"Didn't you say you should stay for a little longer?"

(q.)ノ?

Annie still remembers what the old monk with a sore on his head said, "I want to linger" in Jinshan Temple for a while?"

"No!"

"As the end of the year approaches, Xiangguo Temple may need me to go back and preside over the Dharma Assembly, so it is not delayed. The little donor and this woman are good at it. Let's just leave it."

"It's a fate that comes one day, so I can see you again!"

Now Fahai cannot leave, he dare not leave!

Because, last night when he was watching Li Gongfu's house in Qiantang County on the distant mountain, he was frightened by the thunder that exploded in the sky of the other party! He thought that the Heavenly Court was preparing to take action, so in shock and suspicion, he planned to leave the vortex of Qiantang first to avoid being involved.

Because those two peaches... no! There are no peaches!

Zen Master Fahai will never tell anyone that he has eaten any peaches this year, and he will never!

Anyway, Fahai's recent surge in cultivation has been all his own cultivation, and it is his own fate and has nothing to do with anyone or anything!!

"Oh! That's it..."

(o)

Where did Annie know what a Dharma Assembly is?

However, she seemed to feel that the old monk with scars on his head should not tell the truth. He must have been dishonest, as if he was afraid of himself or hiding from him?

This made Annie feel very strange. She never said she wanted to burn him, so what was he afraid of?!

"Amitabha, two female donors, say goodbye!"

After saying that, Fahai quickly supported his steel Zen Staff, plus the demon-subduing bowl given by the Buddha in his hand, and hurriedly turned to the east gate of Qiantang, preparing to leave Qiantang.

"Bye now!"

"Fahai's big bald head, I'll invite you to eat fruit next time!!"

( ̄ ̄)bye~bye~

“!!”

"Amitabha!!"

However, what little Annie didn't know was that the "fruit" she said almost made Fahai stagger and trip to the ground! Fortunately, he was a Taoist monk and quickly adjusted his posture.

The little girl didn't say that the fruit was fine. As soon as she said it, Fahai became even more scared, and his feet couldn't help but become a little faster!

"Annie, I'm going to buy some of the pine nuts. Don't run around, be careful of being kidnapped by bad people. Those damn traffickers are very fierce!!"

Xu Jiaorong saw some vendors selling pine nuts from where they were sold. Although the things were very expensive, she still planned to buy a pack that could be fried for her official Li Gongfu while drinking.

“…”

"I'm not afraid of any human traffickers!"

(* ̄ ̄)

‘Haha, the little girl is right!’

‘The wife of the Li family is too worried. In Qiantang County, who dares to touch Captain Li’s family? We all have to say hello. Once a hundred elites get on, they can beat him to death!’

‘That’s it! That’s it!’

‘Even if it’s a little thief, who wouldn’t have to go around when he sees Li Tou’s family?’

Before Xu Jiaorong could say anything, the Qiantang Jingzhuang and the street patrol constables who recognized the two of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"All right……"

Seeing that little Annie was gathering in front of a candy stall and watching it so fascinating, Xu Jiaorong thought about it. It was indeed a bit difficult to throw a blond girl in this small Qiantang County. There were indeed many people who recognized that little guy, and they couldn't lose it. So he nodded and began to squeeze into the dried fruit shop to buy the pine nuts and other things he needed.

"Huh? Grandpa, what are these things you are blowing?"

∑(△)?!

Annie saw that in the small stall, an old man was blowing a round thing with a reed tube and bulging his cheeks, and then he kept pinching it with his hands. At the same time, the wooden shelf in front of the other side was filled with brown pigs, monkeys, snakes, rabbits and other things.

Of course, there are still many children watching this like themselves, but they are indeed swallowing more?

‘Little girl, this is a candy man, how about it? Should I buy one to eat?’

After working hard for a while, the old man smiled, showed his yellow teeth all over his mouth and said.

"Sugar Man? Eat?"

('◇')?

"I don't want it!"

"Your saliva is everywhere, your hands are not clean, they are so dirty!!"

(;д)

Pointing at the candy men on the other party’s wooden shelf, Annie looked disgusted!

Besides, she doesn't like to eat this simple malt sugar dessert. She has a variety of ice creams in her own pocket, so she won't eat this kind of dessert that only children can eat! And the reason why she watches here is just that she thinks it's fun to blow sugar people.

"This...I really have no way to do that old man. The sugar man must be blown out..."

The sugar man who had been selling for decades, the old man met the first little girl he disliked him for being dirty!

If it were another child, he would have cried and asked his family to buy a word! If all the children were as particular as this little girl, then his craft would not be able to make a living.

"Why, I'll just brag myself?!"

In fact, Annie, who had already understood it, simply took out a metal tube and prepared to do it by herself, picking up a ball of maltose from the other party's large wooden barrel.

"But……"

The old man hesitated a little. He was afraid that the other party would ruin his ingredients, because the half bucket of sugar (which was melted from maltose) was obtained by fermenting a lot of wheat from his family, all here, and nothing else!

This year, his family is counting on him to make some money to celebrate the New Year!

"Here! I'll give you money, this is OK, right?"

Anne was very generously photographed by a piece of silver about one or two on the old man's wooden box, and then she couldn't wait to reach out and grab a large ball of yellow and orange sugar.

Immediately afterwards, she came to the other end of the metal tube used to eat ice cream by herself.

"Silver, silver!?"

The old man trembled with his hands, weighed the silver-white object, put it on his hands, and then bit it. The next second, his eyes instantly widened:

"Okay! If you want to play, just play casually, and play vigorously!"

One or two pieces of silver can be exchanged for at least one thousand copper coins! And the old man’s half bucket of candy is worth at most a hundred and eighty copper coins. Even if it is made into sugar people and sold, it will only earn half a penny of money at most?

But now, as soon as this little guy comes, he can prepare for it early this year! Maybe he can also buy some delicious food for his grandchildren, such as cheap fish and shrimp, and then buy a few feet of new linen?

Tsk tsk...

What a good little girl, it's a pity, she's not from Central Plains.

Before, he had heard that this little girl in Qiantang County was a rich man and was generous and generous. Today, he has seen it!

"Come on, kids, these sugar people are given to you!"

The old man, who made a lot of money, was happy, so he simply distributed the sugar people he had made to the onlookers for free one by one. There were only about twenty, and each of them was only a few iron coins, which was not worth it.

"Um……."

(_)

"What's the best thing to blow..."

(`)

Looking at the iron pipe in her hand and the large ball of sugar at the other end of the iron pipe, little Annie was a little confused... The sugar man must have blown to play, but she had to think about what kind of blowing it!

But no matter what, you must not be the same as this old man who blew the kitten and puppy. If she wants to blow, she will blow the mighty and domineering way out. In that way, the difference between her Queen Anne!

"Ha! I thought of it!!"

(`)**

Finally, after a long time of struggling, she knew that the sugar was almost dry, and she had her eyes flashed and she thought about what to blow.
Chapter completed!
