After being exiled, Lucky Zaizai took his whole family to farm.

Chapter 15 Purchasing
  Qin Huaiyi and Fang Yuerong went to bargain with the grocery store people and told Qin Jia not to run around and be careful about kidnappers on the street.

"I understand, don't worry."

It was so funny that when she met a kidnapper, she was afraid that she would accidentally slit his throat in the street.

However, she did not go far because she was afraid that her parents would be worried.

I was just wandering around the nearby stalls and happened to see a bookstore.

Qin Huaiyi just gave her two gold ingots so that she could buy whatever she wanted.

Thinking of how boring it is to be on the road, you can just buy some pen, ink, paper and inkstones on the surface and practice your skills. After all, no matter what craft you are doing, you will become rusty if you don't practice it for a long time.

Speaking of which, others learn painting mostly because of their hobby.

And she actually had to rely on painting to earn a living during her two lifetimes.

My mind is not pure, but my love for paintings is really hot.

When she saw a little girl come in, no one paid any attention to her. They all thought the little girl was curious, so they came to take a look.

As long as there is no damage, the store will not evict anyone.

Time was tight, so Qin Jia did not read slowly. He went directly to the cashier counter and asked the bookstore manager, "Hello, uncle, do you have a complete set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for sale?"

"Anyone in the little girl's family wants to buy something?"

"I'll buy it, uncle, can you tell me the price?"

The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he heard that the little one wanted to buy a set of pens, inks, paper and inkstones. However, since a customer asked about the price, even though he did not believe that the child would sell it, he still introduced it to her seriously.

"The worse ones cost ten taels of silver, the better ones cost thirty taels, and the best ones cost eighty taels.

The ink on this ten-tael piece is relatively poor. I can write on it but not smoothly.

The thirty-liang pen, ink and inkstone are much gentler than the ten-liang one, and the writing is very smooth. This is enough for ordinary scholars.

As for the 80 Liang model, I want something more comfortable. No matter what it is, it is much better than the other two models. "

Qin Jia took out a small gold ingot and handed it to him, "Uncle, please pack a set of thirty taels for me. Hurry. Do you have any paint?"

Unexpectedly, I made a mistake. The little girl was not well-dressed, but she actually carried a gold ingot with her.

When Qin Huaiyi and Zhao Dong went to rescue people, Wen Chenru was in charge of the shopping. He bought a set of clothes for everyone.

Because of money problems, he bought more comfortable cotton cloth for the Qin family, while the others all bought ready-made clothes made of linen.

So she is wearing a cotton dress now.

Although this is better than linen, it is not something wealthy people would wear.

After all, who has no money and dares to give it to a thirty-two-year-old girl to take out on the street?

When the shopkeeper saw that she wanted to buy paint, he took her to a container at the end to look at it.

"Yes, but the colors are not complete, there are only three colors, and the price is a bit high. Do you want it?"

"How much silver?"

"One tael of silver or two cents."

In other words, one tael of silver can get a little more than seven grams of paint.

Hiss, it is indeed a bit expensive.

Art students' tools all cost money, but she didn't expect that she would have to continue to burn them even though she was in ancient times.

"One tael of silver for each color."

"Forget it, just two taels of silver." Originally, Qin Jia wanted to buy some openly, and later wanted to draw it himself.

But I think it’s not worth it.

The liquid in the Ruyi pen is much more expensive than silver and gold, so it is more cost-effective to draw gold ingots and buy them.

But after entering Higurashi, she didn’t know if there would be any place to buy them, but these should be enough for her to use for a long time.

After thinking for a while, everything was packed.

"Look, little girl, everything is here. There are thirty-six taels in total. If you buy more, I will give you another knife of paper." Qin Jia nodded, "How to sell ink ingots?"

Although she can draw, she cannot put her eggs in one basket. She is now a person who needs pen, ink, paper and inkstone anytime and anywhere.

If the ink sticks in his pocket were dropped, wouldn't it mean that he would have to bleed again?

"It depends on what kind of girl you want. The cheapest one is 800 taels, the better one is taels, the better one is taels, or taels."

"Two pieces for three taels."

"Okay." The shopkeeper agreed cheerfully.

Although the bookstore often places large orders, it hasn't opened yet today, so he is still very happy.

After wrapping the two ink sticks, he also wrapped a thin paintbrush, "Give this pen to the girl as well. If you use it well, come back next time."

"Thank you." Qin Jia was also very happy. She was not willing to continue buying just now.

Although the things were expensive, they were not heavy, and there were only a lot of papers, so she could still carry them.

Carrying her things, she walked around the street, bought a few bags of sugar and fifteen fragrant scallion pancakes, and then went to find her parents.

Fang Yuerong quickly stepped forward to take her things, "Why are you carrying so much? Are your hands sore?"

"It's not sour. I didn't carry it for long."

"That's good. You sit down and wait for a while. We'll leave when your father comes back."

Qin Jia nodded, "Where is dad?"

"He went to the drug store. He was worried that you kids would catch the cold during this whole trip, so he went to pick up some medicine and prepare it."

Qin Jia was surprised, her father was very attentive.

Not to mention, many children in ancient times died because of minor illnesses.

A cold can turn into a serious illness.

While waiting, Fang Yuerong was not idle. She bought some odds and ends nearby. She also went to a clothing store to buy shoe soles, needlework, and some rags.

She said with joy on her face: "When we are on our way, mother will sew these pieces of cloth together and make a pair of shoes for you."

... Just like the bumpy carriage, are you sure you can make shoes?
  Ten fingers must be pricked? Qin Jia made up her mind to cause trouble and not sew her.

What kind of shoes are you so anxious to make? They are not as important as her mother's fingers.

The mother and daughter waited for a while before finally waiting for Qin Huaiyi, who was carrying a basket on his back, to return.

"Why did it take so long?" Fang Yuerong asked with concern.

"When I came out of the medicine shop, I happened to meet a mountain man nearby who came to sell medicinal materials, so I just collected some."

After all, this kind of medicine is much more cost-effective than buying it in a drug store. They are common medicinal materials, not worth looking for, and even less cost-effective to buy.

"Have you bought everything?"

"All right."

Qin Jia also nodded.

"Okay, let's go out of town and wait for Dongzi and Chenru."

***
  When they got out of the town, they discovered that they had also returned.

Qin Jia gave everyone one of the sesame seed cakes he bought for lunch. The sesame seed cakes were thick, and with water, each person would be full.

Xiaojing and Yiyue have now changed their names. Just because Yiyue said that the slave's name could not be the same as that of the mistress, so they both asked Qin Huaiyi to give him a name.

Since being abandoned by their families, the two of them have been able to adapt to the environment quite well.

Now Xiaojing has changed her name to Siqi, and Yiyue has changed her name to Zhishu.

The two of them did not behave like young ladies, and had been taking care of the two young ladies Qin Lin and Qin Jia in a humble manner.

The Qin family is still very satisfied with them. After all, they have two lives and are live little girls. As long as they are not white-eyed wolves, they are worth saving.
