Chapter 58 Shopping
Xu Lingyue went to the previous cloth store and bought a lot of rags.

Seeing her coming again, the store owner was really curious about what she bought so many rags for, but of course Xu Lingyue would not say that she made them into purses and sold them, so she walked over laughing.

After coming out, they went to the grocery store.

Walking on the road, Xu Lingyue suggested to Mrs. Wu: "Aniang, since this candied fruit is selling so well, why don't we make some more."

Wu Shi thought she would not be able to sell it, but this trip really opened her eyes, and she immediately agreed to what her cute baby said, after all, she tasted the sweetness.

After coming to the grocery store.

With money in hand, Xu Lingyue became proud when shopping, and said with a smile: "Boss, here are twenty catties of sugar."

Two Wen a catty of sugar costs only [-] Wen if you buy a [-] Jin candy.

Seeing that she was asking for twenty catties when she opened her mouth, Wu couldn't help asking: "Baby, are you buying too much?"

But Xu Lingyue had her own plan, so she said, "Aniang, let's do a little more at once, so as to save running back and forth."

After hearing what she said, Wu Shi thought it made sense, so she didn't say anything more.

The shop owner was also a little surprised. Seeing that the little girl was asking for twenty catties of candy in one bite, he thought he had heard it wrong.

But since the business came, would he still refuse it, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'll get it for you."

While the boss was picking up the candy, she walked around the shop casually.

Soon, the candy was brought back, and afterward, Xu Lingyue asked for another five knives of oiled paper.

I spent a total of fifty cash in the grocery store.

Not to mention, when Dangdang took over the twenty catties of sugar, it was quite heavy.

But Mrs. Wu couldn't bear to let her carry it, so she put it in her own basket.

After leaving the grocery store, Mrs. Wu said that she was going to the grain store. There was not much flour at home, so she happened to bring a few catties back with her.

The food store is not far from the grocery store, only three or four stores away.

After buying the flour, they were going to visit Qibao Pavilion.

Qibao Pavilion is a pastry shop, of course candied fruit and the like are also sold.

As soon as they entered, they smelled a sweet smell, and there were all kinds of pastries in front of them, which dazzled them.

A servant saw them coming in and came over with a smile and asked, "What do you guys want to buy?"

Xu Lingyue said that she wanted to see for herself, and the boy stepped back to the side.

It was the first time she came to such a prestigious place, Wu Shi felt a little cramped, and she became taciturn.

Walking around in the store, besides all kinds of pastries, there are also sugar and candied fruit in the store, but mainly there are more pastries, and there are not many varieties of candied fruit and sugar. She took a look, and the candied fruit seemed to be made of It is made of jujube, and the sugar seems to be modern rock sugar.

Xu Lingyue pointed to the jujube candied fruit and asked, "Brother, is this the only kind of candied fruit?"

Hearing this, the boy nodded and said, "Yes."

It is because there is only one kind, and the raw material dates are more expensive. Of course, the types of dates used for candied fruit are different, so the candied fruit is more expensive.

Of course, Xu Lingyue didn't know about this.

At this time, she is very happy. This single variety is not a business opportunity. If she makes more kinds, someone will definitely buy it.

Seeing that she was dressed in ordinary clothes, the servant was afraid that she would not be able to pay, so he frowned and asked, "Little girl, this candied fruit costs twenty cents a tael, are you sure you want to buy it?"

However, Xu Lingyue didn't say that he would buy it at all, obviously this guy misunderstood.

But when she heard the price, she was shocked instantly, and Wu Shi who was on the side was also dumbfounded.

The price is four times that of theirs. The mother and daughter looked at each other, and there was regret in their eyes at this time. They should have come to check the market first.

However, if the price is the same as that sold in this store, not many people would buy it.

Seeing the other party asking such a question, Xu Lingyue was a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "Haha, let me take a look."

Seeing this, the boy didn't say anything, after all, he thought in his heart that the little girl couldn't afford it.

But since he came, Xu Lingyue finally bought the cheapest pastry in the shop.

But even the cheapest one costs twenty cents a catty, which shocked Wu Shi.

After paying the money, the mother and daughter left Qibao Pavilion immediately, so there was no need to go to Weimingzhai, and the price should be about the same.

Xu Lingyue didn't expect that cakes in this era would be so expensive, which made her want to make some by herself and sell them.

It's not difficult, but she can still make a few simple pastries.

After coming out, Wu Shi finally couldn't help complaining: "My dear, why are those candied fruit so expensive!"

Xu Lingyue explained: "It should be because of the single variety."

If there were more varieties, it would not be so expensive. After all, rare things are expensive, and at this price, how can ordinary people afford them.

Wu Shi was still regretting, she didn't listen to what she said carefully, she sighed, and said with some regret: "Isn't it a loss for us to sell so cheap?"

But it's no use regretting it now, it's all sold out.

Today, after making money, Mrs. Wu went to buy two catties of meat to eat.

After shopping, they found a place to sit down and have lunch. Of course, this lunch was steamed buns brought from home. It was already cold at this time, so they drank water.

The steamed buns were tasteless, and Xu Lingyue suffered a lot from eating them.

At this time, an uncle passed in front of them with a bunch of candied haws on his back, and kept yelling: "Selling candied haws! Selling candied haws!"

Thinking of the sweet and sour taste of candied haws, Xu Lingyue felt a little greedy.

Naturally, Mrs. Wu saw her daughter's thoughts, so she asked, "Baby, do you want to eat candied haws?"

Hearing this, Xu Lingyue nodded vigorously.

Thinking about making a lot of money today, Mrs. Wu said let her buy a bunch.

Xu Lingyue hurriedly called the uncle to stop.

"Uncle, how much is a bunch of candied haws?"

The uncle smiled naively: "A string of two pennies."

Xu Lingyue counted on her fingers, there are nine people in the family, not counting little stars.

Then let's have nine skewers, one skewer per person, and try something new.

Xu Lingyue smiled sweetly and said, "Uncle, I want nine skewers."

Hearing that she wanted so much, the uncle was so happy, he quickly put down the candied haws he was carrying, and pulled out nine skewers from the top, "Okay."

Nine strings of candied haws cost a total of eighteen Wen.

After buying and paying the money, Xu Lingyue handed a bunch to Mrs. Wu first, and said with a smile, "Mother, eat."

Seeing that she bought so many, Wu Shi wanted to say a few words, but when she saw that the first bunch was for herself, she was a little moved, and swallowed the preaching words.

On the other side, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhu also quickly sold out the eggs, and then they came to meet Wu's mother and daughter.

Because old man Xu and the others had to go to Hongyan Academy, they didn't go back with them.

After waiting for Liu Shi and Zhu Shi, the group of them went back first.
