Today's task has been completed, and the woman strolled around leisurely, wanting to buy some candy for Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao.

When I arrived at the pastry shop, it was packed with customers. As I got closer, I saw the counters were filled with pastries: walnut pastries, osmanthus cakes, almond cookies, sugar-steamed pastries, and rose cakes with fresh flowers...

"Shopkeeper, how much are these cakes?" Li Yun walked up to the osmanthus cakes and walnut pastries and asked the shopkeeper.

"Madam, osmanthus cakes are one ounce per box, walnut pastries and almond cakes are eight hundred coins per box, steamed sugar pastries are one ounce and two hundred coins per box, and fresh flower rose cakes are two ounces per box..."

The shopkeeper pointed at the pastries and explained the prices to Li Yun.

"Wow!" Pastries were so expensive in ancient times. Pastries that only cost five or six yuan in the previous life actually cost one or two taels in ancient times. Why didn't they just rob them?

Although this silver was worthless to her, the feeling of being ripped off was really bad.

I wanted to leave, but then I thought of Dabao, Erbao and Sanbao at home, especially Sanbao, the little foodie. I decided to buy something for them!

"Shopkeeper, give me two boxes of osmanthus cake, two boxes of walnut pastry, and two boxes of fresh flower rose cake." Li Yun pointed at the osmanthus cake, walnut pastry, and fresh flower rose cake and asked the shopkeeper for two boxes. There were many people in the family, and Sanbao was a foodie, so he bought more so that there would be enough for everyone to share.

In ancient times, a box of pastries only had four pieces, and six boxes only had twelve pieces. The pastries were small and delicate, and they were not enough to fill you up.

"Okay, I'll pack it for Madam right away." This was a big customer, and the shopkeeper was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear.

The shopkeeper was very quick and packed everything for Li Yun in less than a cup of tea.

"Madam, the total is seven taels and six hundred wen." The shopkeeper gave the packaged pastries to Li Yun and told her that the total consumption was seven taels and six hundred wen.

"The shopkeeper will give you seven taels and six hundred coins." Li Yun took out seven taels of silver and six hundred copper coins from his sleeve.

"Madam, take care!" The shopkeeper took the silver and said goodbye to Li Yun.

Li Yunti took the pastries out of the pastry shop and put them into the space where no one was around.

I started shopping again and came to a candy store. There were many kinds of candies there, and I had never seen any of them before.

"Shopkeeper, what are the names of these candies? How much do they cost?" Li Yun knew nothing about ancient candies, and he couldn't find these candies in the original owner's memory. Perhaps the original owner had never eaten them.

"Madam, this is malt sugar, two taels per catty; this is candied fruit candy, one tael per catty; this is candied fruit, three taels per catty; this is sugar painting, ten pieces per tael." The shopkeeper said to Li Yun.

"Oh my God!" This is even more shocking than the pastries just now. Candies in ancient times were so expensive. If you buy some modern candies on many shopping platforms and sell them in ancient times, I wonder if it will disrupt the market and make ancient candies unsalable.

Li Yun had seen sugar paintings in books but had never eaten them, so he didn't know whether they tasted good or not. He decided to buy ten to try.

I've even heard of candied fruits on TV. The ladies and young ladies of wealthy families all like to eat them as snacks. The poor people even grit their teeth and buy some to take home to coax their children to take medicine, or to try some at home.

"Shopkeeper, give me a pound of malt sugar, a pound of candied fruit, a pound of preserved fruit candy and ten sugar paintings." In the end, I decided to order a pound of each and ten sugar paintings.

"Okay! Madam, please wait a moment. I will go and pack it for you." The candy shop owner was so happy that his teeth were not visible. This was a big customer. He didn't expect that a plain-looking village woman could afford such good candy. It is true that "you can't judge a book by its cover.

The shopkeeper was not afraid at all that Li Yun did not have the money to pay. He just packed the candies and would only give them to her if she paid. If the village woman could not pay, he would not sell them to her. It would just be a matter of doing a little more work.

After the shopkeeper finished packaging the candies, he came to the sugar painting and said to Li Yun, "Madam, please come over and choose the pattern you like?"

Li Yun came to the sugar painting and saw patterns of the twelve zodiac animals, as well as many patterns of flowers, plants and other animals.

At first she thought it was just a simple pattern, but she didn't expect the shopkeeper to have such good craftsmanship and make all kinds of patterns, and they were lifelike and vivid.

I chose a horse for Dabao, as he was born in the year of the horse; I chose two monkeys for Erbao and Sanbao, as they were born in the year of the monkey; I chose a tiger for Chen Mo, as he was born in the year of the tiger; I chose a plum blossom for Qin Lanlan and a rose for myself. The rest chose a rabbit, an elephant, a fox, and a peach blossom respectively.

"Shopkeeper, can you please wrap these up?" Li Yun handed the selected sugar paintings to the shopkeeper and asked him to wrap them up.

The shopkeeper took the sugar painting and said to Li Yun: "Okay, ma'am, please wait a moment, it will be packed for you soon." After the shopkeeper said that, he went to help Li Yun pack the sugar painting.

After packaging the sugar painting, the shopkeeper said to Li Yun, "Madam, the total is seven taels."

Li Yun took out seven taels of silver from his sleeve and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, here's the silver."

"Thank you, ma'am. You are welcome to visit our shop again next time." The shopkeeper took the silver and was very happy. He said to Li Yun in a very good attitude.

Business has been bad today. He made so much candy. If he can't sell it, the candy will melt and he will lose all his money.

Just when he was worrying, a big customer came and bought a lot of candy. How could he not be happy?

"Thank you for your courtesy. If these candies are delicious, I will come back to shop with you next time. I hope you can give me a discount. These candies are too expensive and I can hardly afford them." To be honest, it is impossible for Li Yun to come back to shop with you. This is just her polite words. There are too many candies from her previous life on many shopping platforms on her mobile phone. No matter the packaging or the taste, they are incomparable to those in ancient times.
