Chapter 238 Women’s Desire to Buy is Unimaginable
As the convoy continued to move forward, the three women were deeply attracted by the bamboo weaving crafts on the roadside. Xiaoliu, Xiaoqi, Xiaoba and Xiaojiu took turns running errands to help bring the handicrafts to the car for the three women to see.
This should be a street for craftsmen. The whole alley is filled with different bamboo woven items, which are so exquisite and beautiful that people can't take their eyes away. There are all kinds of fruit baskets, vegetable baskets, steamers, bamboo bags, storage boxes, flower baskets, bamboo sieves, backpacks, etc. There are all kinds of bamboo woven items in various shapes, which are really beautiful. The more you look at them, the more you are tempted. You can buy several of them with one or two taels of silver.
Buy, buy, buy! Yiyi got a bamboo bag and two cradles, Bailu also chose a cradle and a backpack, which she also prepared for her children, and Yanan chose a steamer and a storage box.
After strolling through the bamboo weaving alley, the people were attracted by Shu brocade and Shu embroidery. Fortunately, this shop was managed by Shen Wen, and the carriage went directly into the backyard through the back door. Shen Wen asked people to move a lot of Shu brocade and Shu embroidery products from the warehouse for the three sisters to appreciate!
"Wow! Intangible cultural heritage! Intangible cultural heritage that can be passed down for thousands of years!" Yiyi exclaimed it was worth it!
"Am I the only one who is curious whether it was embroidered by a woman or a man?" Bai Lu asked a soul-searching question.
"All the embroiderers are men!" Shen Wen replied.
"A treasure from Shu! How wonderful! This is the most precious thing. In order to prevent it from being lost, the men have tried their best!" Yanan gave a high praise.
"Take whichever you like!" the tycoon Shen Wen spoke again.
"Husband, how about we pick out a piece of Shu brocade to make a quilt cover for the baby?" Yiyi looked at Ling Wuxin and asked.
"Good! I think this red-ground brocade with a hundred children pattern is very good!" Ling Wuxin had been watching his wife appreciate it silently before, and now he was finally put to use.
"Uh~ A picture of a hundred children, okay!" Yiyi's eyes flickered slightly. This man is an old-fashioned man. How many babies does he want her to have? !
"The Wan Zi Si He Ru Yi Tuan Hua Jin is also good!" Ling Wu Xin said with a slight curl of the corners of his lips!
"Seriously, where is the quilt for the baby?" Yiyi glanced at him with her beautiful eyes.
"Then we'll take both. We'll use them as hugging quilts when children are young, and as cotton-padded quilts when they grow up!" Ling Wuxin said with certainty.
"Okay, then let's get two pieces of Shu brocade. There are so many themes of Shu embroidery handicrafts that I'm really dazzled by the choices!" Yiyi admitted that she couldn't choose.
Look at these popular embroidery patterns, there are landscapes, flowers and birds, antiques, dragons and phoenixes, tile inscriptions, ancient coins and the like; there are also folk legends, such as the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Magu Offering Longevity, Blowing the Flute to Attract the Phoenix, and Kylin Delivering a Child; there are also metaphors for joy, auspiciousness, prosperity and wealth, such as magpies making a fuss among plum blossoms, mandarin ducks playing in the water, a house full of gold and jade, and a phoenix wearing a peony; patterns with strong local characteristics, such as hibiscus carp, pheasants in the bamboo forest, landscapes, flowers, birds and figures, are also very popular among people.
"Qilin brings a child..." Ling Wuxin said with a smile.
"Is it ever going to end? I think landscapes, flowers and birds are great!" Yiyi found that the landscapes, flowers and birds embroidered in these works were all lifelike and very eye-catching.
"Okay then, I'll get a set of whatever my lady picks!" Ling Wuxin made a decisive decision.
Yiyi had made her selection, and Bailu and Yanan also picked out items that satisfied them.
"Put the good ones aside and have the shop manager deliver them to Shen's house later. Let's continue on our way to see the market!" Shen Wen instructed the manager to deliver the goods and asked everyone to get on the carriage.
After leaving his shop, he took a carriage to the food street for a stroll, where he tasted a variety of delicacies and visited various interesting shops along the way.
"To be honest, I don't feel tired after shopping and eating all day like this," Bai Lu said to Ye Xiao.
"Okay, go ahead and have fun, my lady. Your husband is by your side!" Ye Xiao said confidently.
The men who risked their lives to accompany gentlemen shopping finally chose to shop in their own shops. The reason is that their women are too good at shopping. Choosing their own shops is firstly safer, secondly, the goods can be delivered to their homes, and thirdly, the men save trouble, so they close the door of the backyard and open the door of the warehouse, letting their wives choose freely! They have reason to believe that women have forgotten the original purpose of going out and are completely immersed in shopping.
"Hahaha~ I finally got my fill of shopping today!" Shopping like this really pleased Bai Lu, and the key was that she didn't have to pay for it herself. It was so exciting!
"I'm satisfied too!" Yiyi found that she had no idea when buying things. She just picked what she liked, and it would take a long time to sort them out when she got home!
"Husband, have we overspent?" Yanan said she couldn't carry on any longer and asked Shen Wen hurriedly if the money was about to be spent.
"Just enjoy yourself, my lady! We can settle the money later!" Shen Wen is a businessman. He is never vague about his accounts. Even for his own household use, he has to use accounts to show the flow of items. The accounts that should be balanced must be balanced. It is common for money to flow from the left hand to the right hand.
"I feel like there's too much to see at the market. I've only seen two and spent all my time shopping!" Yanan said, looking at the sky.
"Well, there's no need to look. The layout is basically the same. The fourth brother will reserve a shop for you. Let's go home!" Nanchen came over and took Yanan's hand, ready to take her to the carriage!
"Okay! That's all for today. Be careful on your way back and don't stop here!" Ling Wuxin also spoke to everyone.
So, after strolling around the streets for half a day, the team started to head back home. They didn't stop on the way back, so time went much faster. When they entered the Shen Mansion, six cargo carriages were parked in the yard. The goods had not been unloaded yet. It was estimated that they didn't need to unload them, and they just waited to be taken back to the village!
"Tsk tsk tsk, I was shocked when I came back and saw this. I didn't expect the purchasing power of three women to be so strong! I didn't pick so many." Bai Lu still had the energy to walk around the trucks even with her pregnant belly.
"Let's not talk about whether it's scary or not. There's still some stuff left in the carriage we're riding in." Yanan said, and then asked a few laborers in the family to carry the scattered purchases in the carriage back to the house, and divide them up when they have free time.
"Second sister, I don't want to move anymore. Let's put these things aside for now and sort them out when we get back to the village." Yiyi also got off the carriage. She just wanted to take a hot bath to relieve her fatigue. She didn't feel sleepy while shopping, but as soon as she got home, the energy was gone and she felt sleepy!
"Okay, take some rest, little sister!" Bai Lu was like this herself, and did not forget to remind Yiyi.
"Okay, see you at dinner!" After saying that, Yiyi was taken away by Ling Wuxin.
