Pre-Chapter 217 Preparations
The next day.

After lunch, Fat Miao'er, Compass, and Liu Ye'er came to the town to buy things for the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Boss Du, business is booming!"

The three came to the grain store, and Luopan greeted the owner of the grain store.

"Hey! You are here." Boss Du said enthusiastically.

"What do you want to buy today?" Boss Du asked.

"Buy Jiangmi!" Fat Miao'er replied.

Buy Jiangmi?
Boss Du was taken aback for a moment, then he came to his senses and asked, "Are you planning to make zongzi?"

"Correct!"

Fat Meow nodded.

Hearing this, Boss Du said with some embarrassment: "Our family doesn't have Jiangmi."

"No?"

Compass exclaimed.

Boss Du lowered his head and said in shame: "Jiangmi is more expensive, and no one usually buys it. Only the Dragon Boat Festival can sell some, so my family..."

no stock!

Fat Miao'er and the others realized that this grain store is not large in scale, and all it does is the business of the neighbors, so it's normal not to sell glutinous rice.

"Does Boss Du know where to sell Jiangmi?" Fat Miaoer asked.

"The Wang family's grain store should sell it, and then the county's grain store." Boss Du thought for a while and replied.

"Thank you, Boss Du!" Fat Miao'er thanked, and took Liu Ye'er's hand to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Boss Du stopped the three of them.

"Huh?" The three of Fat Miao'er turned their heads in surprise.

"How many catties do you want to buy? I just want to buy some for the holidays. I can bring them back for you. The price is cheaper than what you bought." Boss Du explained.

"We want fifty catties."

Compass' eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly said the amount they wanted.

"so much?"

Boss Du looked puzzled. He thought Fat Miao'er and the others would only need four or five catties. After all, one catty of glutinous rice can make ten zongzi, and forty or fifty zongzi is enough for a family.

"We are going to give it to friends, so pack more."

Fat Miao'er explained that they didn't mention that they were going to sell zongzi.

Boss Du pondered for a moment and said, "It's about [-] Wen a catty. Come and pick it up tomorrow."

"it is good!"

Fat Miaoer agreed without even thinking about it. A catty of rice costs [-] Wen, and Jiangmi [-] Wen is not expensive.

Leaving the grain store, the four of them went to the embroidery workshop, bought some cloth heads and multicolored threads, and went to the Huichun Hall to buy some cinnamon bark and star anise.

"Fat Meow, what are you buying these for?"

Compass looked at the medicinal bag in Fat Miao'er's hand, and asked curiously.

"secret!"

Fat Miao'er smiled mysteriously at him, and put the medicine bag into the back basket.

Fat Miao'er didn't want to talk about it, and Compass didn't ask any more questions. The three of them headed towards the market to buy some colored paper, jujubes, zongzi leaves, and mala grass.

"Fat Miao'er, let's catch some chicks and go back to raise them!"

After the three of them finished shopping, Liu Ye'er looked at a stall selling chicken cubs in the market and said.

"of course can."

Fat Miao'er readily agreed, thinking: The chicken coop in the new house is still empty, if Liu Ye'er hadn't reminded her, she almost forgot, just happened to meet today, and bought it back by the way.

"Then how many shall we catch?"

Asked the compass holding something in both hands.

"The chicken coop in our new house is very big. I plan to catch ten of them and bring them back. I will raise them until winter and kill five for Grandpa Su and the others." Liu Ye'er replied.

After listening, Fat Miao'er and Compass nodded, agreeing to her suggestion.

……

the next day.

As soon as Fat Miao'er came home from school and entered the room, she saw Chun Niang and Fang Zhu sitting on the kang.

"Aunt Fang, Aunt Wu, are you here?"

Fat Miao'er hung up her schoolbag, and greeted the two of them with a smile.

After the three of them finished shopping yesterday, they wrote to Fang Zhu, asking her to come over today to help with the staff. After all, she had stayed in a big family in Fucheng and knew a lot.

As for Chun Niang, it was Fang Zhu who called her when she came this morning. Anyway, she was bored at home by herself, so she happened to come over for a visit.

"Are you back?" Fang Zhu looked at Fat Miao'er with a smile and asked.

"En!" Fat Miao'er nodded in response.

"Are you happy studying at the dealer?" Chun Niang, who had an embroidered sachet in her hand, raised her head and asked.

Everyone in Dashi Village knew about Fat Miao'er going to school, and Chunniang was no exception.

"Happy, Mr. Zhuang is very knowledgeable." Fat Miao'er looked up with pride.

Thanks to those stubborn old men who refused to accept her, she met Mr. Zhuang.

After getting in touch with Fat Miaoer these days, I found that no matter what strange questions she asked, Zhuang Zhe could answer them fluently, which showed the profoundness of his knowledge.

"This multicolored rope is so beautiful!"

Fat Miao'er walked to the edge of the Kang, and was amazed to see a special colorful rope on the Kang.

"Aunt Fang made it up. I'm just learning it, but it's too complicated. I haven't learned it yet."

Liu Ye'er lowered her head, looked at the half-woven colorful rope in her hand and said.

"It's okay, take your time, Ye'er has learned quickly."

Fang Zhu encouraged Liu Ye'er.

"Aunt Fang, did you learn these things in Fucheng?"

Fat Miao'er picked up the braided colorful rope and looked at it carefully.

I saw that this multicolored rope has a small ball at a certain distance, each ball has a color, exactly five colors, and then echoes with the five-color rope, it looks very beautiful, and its tail is not tied, it can be The two sides are snapped together.

"Yes, these are very common in Fucheng, and many people can make them up."

Fang Zhu said modestly.

Fat Miao'er put the colorful rope on her hand, looked at Fang Zhu excitedly and said, "Aunt Fang, I want to learn too."

"it is good!"

Fang Zhu rubbed Fat Meow'er's head with a pampered look on her face.

Continued: "Actually, this is nothing. It is very common in Fucheng. The multicolored ropes worn by rich ladies in Fucheng are even more beautiful. There are also silver bells on them. When you raise your arms, the bells jingle, which is very pleasant."

The speaker didn't mean to listen, but the listener did, Fat Miao'er's eyes lit up.

They can also add silver bells on colorful ropes. Although the cost is high, the selling price is also high!

During the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival, all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Yulin County will come, and those ladies from rich families will not care about such a small amount of money.

What makes the most money selling in modern times is of course luxury goods.

Weaving an ordinary multicolored rope can earn one penny, but weaving one with silver bells can earn a hundred pennies.

This is the packaging. The silver bell improves the grade and value of the colorful rope, which is the same as the modern gift box.

"Aunt Fang, can you weave those colorful ropes with silver bells?"

Fat Meow asked.

"Of course, it's not difficult, it's easier than this." Fang Zhu said.

After listening, Fat Miao'er took off the colorful rope and put it on the kang, turned around and left the room.

"Hey! Fat Miao'er will be eating in a while, you..."

This move made Liu Ye'er feel bad, so she called out to ask Fat Miao'er.

"I won't go, let's go to the study."

Fat Miao'er said without looking back.

Fang Zhu and Chun Niang looked at each other, smiled at each other, and understood what Fat Miao'er meant.
