After instructing Dalang and his two siblings to stay close to their mother and not run around, Liu Ji dragged Awang out of the teahouse first.

"Let's go too." Qin Yao took Sanlang and Si Niang by the hand, and the mother and son walked towards the grocery store that Liu Fei mentioned.

Young people don’t know what worry feels like. Even if the sky falls, their parents are there to support them. The four brothers and sisters were soon attracted by the new things around them.

"Second brother, second brother!" Seeing a curly-haired foreigner, Si Niang was so excited that she quickly grabbed her second brother's hand and pointed at him to him. The two of them secretly looked at him.

Jiro exclaimed, "His hair is red!"

Although the street was noisy, people were not deaf. The brother and sister reacted so strongly that people looked at them with frowns on their faces. They were so scared that they quickly hid behind their mother and senior sister.

Qin Yao nodded the brother and sister's heads, and nodded to the foreigner with a friendly smile.

The man smiled, puffed up his cheeks deliberately and made a face at Erlang and Si Niang, scaring the brother and sister so much that they screamed, feeling curious, scared, and a little excited.

Even after the man walked away, the four brothers and sisters kept turning their heads to look back. Only when they could no longer catch any trace of the foreigner did they turn back. The four brothers and sisters huddled together and excitedly talked about the different physical features they had observed.

Yin Le was just like a child. It was his first time to come to such a big place. Everything he saw was new to him and he would exclaim “wow” from time to time.

Among the six people, only Qin Yao could remain calm. After all, she had seen too many big cities and it was just like that.

However, this ancient street has a unique charm. Qin Yao did not show it on her face, and her steps were brisk, showing that she was in a good mood.

The grocery store is easy to find. Just follow the flow of people and you will arrive there.

Different from the small high-rise buildings along the streets of Nanshi, the buildings here are much simpler and lower. Most of the people on the streets are ordinary people in ordinary clothes, and the snacks and food sold along the streets are also mostly affordable.

Qin Yao wanted to buy some furniture and soft furnishings to help Qin Feng decorate his empty home so that it would look like a home.

Finished furniture is rare and expensive, and carpenters mostly take custom orders. Qin Yao cannot wait that long, so second-hand furniture with good quality is her first choice.

As the name suggests, the grocery market has a wide variety of products and has everything.

Second-hand items always have a huge market demand no matter what dynasty it is, and here in the grocery market, there is an entire street of second-hand shops, selling everything from bunk beds to candlesticks.

As soon as she arrived at this place, Qin Yao's shopping desire began to stir.

The children also calmed down from the excitement of meeting foreigners. Qin Yao called Yin Le and asked her to take out the sacks she had been carrying all morning and distribute them to Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang and Si Niang.

Qin Yao assigned them tasks: "We will be active on this street this afternoon. I will give each of you two taels of silver as a budget to make up for what you lack. Meet at the end of the street in an hour. Don't get lost."

When the four siblings heard this, their eyes lit up instantly. They nodded and hurriedly put on the sack handed to them by Yin Le, waiting for Qin Yao's order to take action immediately.

Qin Yao took out the silver that she had asked Awang to exchange at the money shop this morning, and gave two taels of silver to each of them, including Yin Le.

"I have one too~" Yin Le was so happy that he shouted to Qin Yao: "Master, you are the best!"

Qin Yao made a hushing gesture, saying that everyone was looking at them, so they should keep a low profile.

Yin Le opened her mouth and responded silently with "oh oh" and stood together with Dalang and his sister. Her eyes had already flown to an old dressing table on the street. She must take it down soon!

Qin Yao stood in front of the five people with her hands behind her back and said seriously, "Let's take action!"

The five people responded in unison: "Yes!"

The noise was so loud that it attracted the attention of many passers-by, but the mother and her two children were not embarrassed at all. They each took their own sackcloth bag and started their first independent shopping.

Among the four brothers and sisters, Erlang and Si Niang were the smartest. Sanlang clung to his sister, and the twins, boy and girl, held hands and rushed into the market first, intending to look at the whole street before deciding what to buy.

For fear that the boss would bully the children, he also recruited Yin Le, the eldest brother, to join the gang.

The twins were in front, and Yin Le was behind. They were already eight years old. There were no side roads on this street and the environment was safe. Qin Yao felt that it was very suitable for training the children's independence.

Dalang and Erlang were in a team. After all, the two brothers had a plan. They first discussed what to buy, and then allocated the budget to the most important things before entering the nearest shop selling beds.

There is only one bed in the room now. Sanlang tossed and turned in his sleep at night, making Erlang very unhappy. I would rather die than sleep with him tonight.

However, as soon as they entered the store, they were shocked by the price the store owner announced. An ordinary old bed was priced at five taels. He really was treating the two children like fools.

Dalang wanted to bargain, but Erlang grabbed him and turned away.

"Hey, hey! Why are you leaving? If you two young gentlemen really want it, four taels of silver will do."

The shop owner tried to persuade Dalang to stay, and Dalang was a little tempted. Erlang frowned and said righteously:

"This boss is dishonest in business, full of lies, and obviously a scoundrel. Let's go to another one."

He spoke in a loud voice and the boss could hear him clearly. He got angry and cursed something in dialect. Dalang and Erlang couldn't understand it, but they knew it was not a good thing from the boss's expression.

Dalang and Erlang immediately responded with a curse in their hometown dialect, looked at the boss's confused face, smiled and went on to the next one.

Most people in the world tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. Seeing that the two kids from other places dared to fight back, the boss snorted in anger and did not chase them anymore.

Sanlang and Si Niang followed Yin Le, who had a scar on his face, and attracted a lot of strange looks. One of the mask sellers came forward warmly to invite them to come and presented various masks and veils for them to choose from.

The dressing table that Yin Le had originally decided to take down was instantly forgotten. Before he could buy any serious items for the two children, one adult and two children, the twins, each of them, spent 180 coins to buy a mask.

Yin Le spent even more, five hundred coins to buy a half-face beauty mask that fit her face shape perfectly and covered the scarred half.

Looking at the face in the tin mirror that had no scars at all and was quite pretty, Yin Le's eyes lit up with an unprecedented light, as if he had discovered an incredible new world.

So, how could she resist taking this mask that was tailor-made for her home?

But the happiness was only temporary. When I saw the beautiful ceramic basins, cups, embroidered stools, lamp stands and tables later, I realized that the budget I had was really not much at all.

Two taels of silver in the capital and two taels of silver in Kaiyang County are completely different!

"An old table costs one tael of silver. Why don't you go and rob it? The material is so bad, I can make a set with one tael of silver! Two hundred coins, give it to me and I'll take it. If you don't give it to me, forget it."

Not a single day's work at the stationery factory was wasted. Yin Le knew the market prices of various wood materials very well. Even though this was Kyoto and the transportation fee was a little more expensive, it would only increase by 20% at most.

So when I bargained for the price, I had good reasons and reasons, and I had the shop owner under my thumb.

Sanlang and Si Niang, who had two identical cute faces, nodded in agreement: "That's right."

The boss gave up struggling and said, "Take it, take it!"

The one big and two small ones immediately laughed and finally took down the first piece of furniture.

Seeing that the boss was not very happy about packing up the table for them, Si Niang pulled San Lang to the boss and bowed sweetly to him: "Thank you, uncle boss, good people will be rewarded, and your business will be prosperous!"

"Hey~" The boss smiled happily. Even if he didn't make a cent from this order today, he felt it was worth it! (End of this chapter)
