Chapter 30, spending money to buy things
"There is a young lady in Jizhou who is said to be ill. After waking up, she likes to talk nonsense and do some extremely outrageous things. She goes to the brothel to teach prostitutes how to sing and dance. Extremely revealing, showing her arms and legs, and saying that a woman is not as good as a man, she can make a difference, and even yell at her parents and elder brother at home, to break off the relationship, tsk tsk tsk..."

"What then?"

"Later, what's the later? It's nothing more than being fed a bowl of medicine, and the illness is gone!"

Shu Xin's hairs stood on end.

Such a person must come from the same place as her.

Fortunately, she didn't rush forward, otherwise the end would be no different from that young lady.

She might be burned alive as a youkai.

When the cloth shopkeeper took the money out, ten copper coins of one hundred wen.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Shopkeeper Bu laughed, "I'll send over some pheasants in the future!"

"it is good!"

Shu Xin took the cauliflower and left.

Cauliflower was a little dizzy with excitement, "Sister!"

"What are we going to do next?"

"Go and see if there is anyone selling cotton seeds!" Shu Xin said.

What she wants most is to buy seeds.

Only when the seeds are planted can there be food.

There are no fields, so much land has been reclaimed to grow corn, sweet potatoes, and soybeans. These are good things that can fill your stomach.

Shu Xin was lucky today, it happened to be the day for the market in Conghe Town, selling all kinds of things.

Shu Xin held Caihua's hand and was relieved to see that there were also many women and girls coming to the market.

Passed by a cloth shop.

Cai Hua looked inside, and Shu Xin also looked.

"Sister, do you want to buy fabric?"

Shu Xin shook his head.

She wanted to see if there were any rags in this cloth shop, so she could take them back to make purses, embroider them with beautiful patterns, and sell them.

Cauliflower was a bit of a disappointment.

But think about the situation at home now.

"Let's go, let's go in and have a look!" Shu Xin called out Caihua.

Entering the cloth shop, the shopkeeper took a look at the two sisters and the clothes on them, and knew that they were not here to buy cloth.

It's just that there is no reason to push the customers out, what if they are here to buy things!
"Do you want to buy anything?"

"Boss, do you sell rags in your cloth shop?"

"Rags?"

Shu Xin nodded.

"What do you want the rags for?" asked the shopkeeper.

"My family is poor, so it would be great to use it to mend clothes!"

The shopkeeper looked at Shu Xin and Cai Hua, who were all in patches, and hesitated for a moment, "I have a few bags of rags here, so you can take them for ten cents!"

"Thank you shopkeeper, can we take a look?"

"I'll ask my daughter to take you there!" the shopkeeper said, and shouted inside, "Pearl!"

Soon a little girl came out, "Father?"

"Take them to see those bags of rags!"

"Oh!"

Dai Zhenzhu responded, looked at the two sisters Shu Xin and Cai Hua, "Come with me!"

"Thank you!"

Dai Pearl smiled.

He couldn't help asking, "What do you want the rags for?"

"Take it home to mend clothes, and then see if I can make some purses!"

Dai Zhenzhu laughed out loud, "Making purses? How is that possible? I've seen that those fabrics are all cut when making clothes, and any piece is not enough to make a purse!"

"My family is poor, so I always want to find a way out, earn more money, and buy a few catties of rice is also good!"

Dai Pearl was taken aback.

Her family is considered well-off, and they don't have to worry about food and drink, let alone clothes.

Looking at the two sisters Shu Xin, they were thin, their faces were sallow and injured, and their clothes were all patched.

After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Do you know how to make a network?"

"Luozi?" Shu Xin asked puzzled.

"Yes, take a look at the scraps of cloth first, take them if you need them, don't say whether you can buy them or not, I'll go to my father and tell me, anyway, these scraps of cloth are useless, sooner or later they will be used for fire, you guys Just take it, and come back in a month, there must be a few more bags!" Dai Zhenzhu said sincerely.

"Thank you, Sister Pearl. If I make purses at that time, I will definitely give you two!" "Okay, then it's settled. I'm really waiting for your purses!" Dai Zhenzhu smiled.

Seeing that the clothes on the two sisters were really worn out, "I have some old clothes that I can't fit in. If you don't mind, how about I give them to you?"

"what……"

Shu Xin was taken aback.

This girl must be too nice.

"You don't want it?"

"No, it's just that sister Pearl is so kind, I don't know how to repay her!"

"Silly, if you call me Sister Pearl, don't meet outsiders. I have a few older brothers above me and two younger brothers below me. I'm just a girl. I've wanted a younger sister for a long time. Now it's a good thing, two people came at once." indivual!"

Shu Xin smiled and looked at the rags.

It's a little better than she imagined, and there are some piece by piece. As long as they are put together and the colors are well matched, they will still look beautiful.

I don't know how Dai Zhenzhu told her father that the strips of cloth were given away for nothing, and a few pieces of cloth were also given, each piece of cloth was just enough to make a purse.

"When the purse is ready, the money will be calculated at that time, and the money for the cloth will be deducted!" Shopkeeper Dai said, and went to work.

Dai Zhenzhu laughed, "My dad has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart, don't take it to heart!"

"Thank you, Sister Pearl, but we are too weak, so we might not be able to take the rags away. Why don't we go buy other things and call a bullock cart to pull them later?" Shu Xin said.

"Okay, go buy it, I'll tidy up the clothes, and you'll be fine when you come over later!"

"Thank you, sister Pearl!"

"You've said thank you so many times, let's go!"

Shu Xin took the cauliflower out of the cloth village, and the cauliflower covered her face, "Sister, it feels like a dream!"

Shu Xin smiled, and took Cai Hua's hand.

Not really.

Who would have thought that meeting such a good girl!

The two went to buy seeds first.

After inquiring several places, the ones at the stalls are slightly cheaper, while the ones in the shops are more expensive.

Shu Xin decided to buy it at the stall. Corn is called corn in this place. He bought corn seeds, cotton seeds, and soybean seeds, which cost him a hundred cash.

Cotton seeds, in particular, were bought in large quantities.

He went to buy needles and thread again, and Shu Xin even bought a pair of scissors, which cost another [-] Wen.

The two sisters went to the place where pork was sold.

If you say that no one wants pig offal, that's fake, it's just cheaper.

Fat meat is more expensive than lean meat, but bones are cheaper.

After much deliberation, Shu Xin bought [-] Wen of flesh and blood, and pestered the pork seller to give him a pig's lung.

I went to buy another catty of sugar, which cost me [-] Wen.

Thinking of the flour and coarse grains sent by others at home, I didn't buy them.

Seeing a chicken seller, Shu Xin stepped forward and asked the price, "Five Wen each!"

Shu Xin became cruel and bought ten of them.

"Sister..." Cauliflower whispered.

Although I feel sorry for the money, I feel very happy.

"Huh?" Shu Xin responded, and went to the shop selling saponins.

Fragrant soap is very expensive, and soap made from saponin is much cheaper. Shu Xin asked the price, and it was [-] cents each, and Shu Xin bought one.

"Sister!" Cauliflower exclaimed.

"We haven't showered and washed our hair for a long time. If we don't wash it well, we will get lice, and it will be even more troublesome!" Shu Xin would have bought two if she hadn't been afraid of going back to Liu's family and worrying about money.

Cauliflower thought that her head was a little itchy, and that she hadn't washed it for many days, so she silently supported Shu Xin.

In fact, there are many things to buy, and there are many things to sell in the town, but the money is limited, and Shu Xin dare not really spend it all.

"Cauliflower, let's go find the carriage, and then go home!" Shu Xin pulled the cauliflower, but seeing that the cauliflower wouldn't leave, he stared straight at the distance.

Shu Xin followed the line of sight of the cauliflower, and his face suddenly became very ugly...
