There was a scale at the mansion, and Fang Mei asked the servant to bring it over. After weighing fifty kilograms, she asked Tong Wenyao to wait at the door while she went to the accounting office to withdraw the money. She asked the servant to take the Portuguese tart back with her. Tong Wenyao waited and waited at the door, not worried that she would run away, but she was afraid that her brother would wait a little too long. But when she realized that she couldn't be impatient, her heart slowly calmed down. She carefully observed the scenery inside through the half-open door. In the cold winter, there were actually a lot of flowers inside. For a moment, she felt that the rich had a good life. When she thought about her own lack of money, she immediately felt discouraged. There was still a long way to go in the road of making money!

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, the sound of footsteps was finally heard from inside. Fang Mei saw that she was standing at the door in an orderly manner, without any wandering eyes, and she couldn't help but like her more. "You must be waiting impatiently! They just stopped you to talk for a while!" After saying that, she took Tong Wen Yao's hand and handed her the bag of silver. "Please count it." Tong Wen Yao weighed it and confirmed that it was fifty taels. She smiled and said, "I trust Sister Fang." After that, she took out two taels from the bag and handed it to her, "Sister Fang, please accept it!" Fang Mei looked at the silver she handed over and spoke sincerely, and couldn't help but look at her differently. She pushed the silver she handed over to her, "I don't need your money. You look at how thin you are wearing. You should use it to buy some clothes!" Tong Wen Yao saw that she really didn't want it, so she took it, "Sister Fang, you can call me Yao'er. I will send you something good next time!" Fang Mei looked at her and agreed repeatedly, "Okay, okay, remember to bring it here first when you have something good next time!"

This time, the lady rewarded her with ten taels of silver, and she even showed her face in front of the lady. When the Portuguese tarts were moved in, she passed by the pavilion in the backyard, where the lady happened to be resting. Seeing the Portuguese tarts in the basket, she was called over by the lady. It was really a surprise at that time. When she bought them, she was still thinking about how to let the lady see them. Unexpectedly, after the lady tasted them, she gave her a reward. After tasting the Portuguese tarts, the lady immediately had an appetite and ate a few more mouthfuls of rice.

After Tong Wen Yao received fifty taels, she went to knock on other doors and sold ten or twenty kilograms of rice. It was not as much as she had asked for at the beginning, but it was still a considerable amount of money. There was not much left in the basket, so she planned to take it home and eat it directly, which was better than going out alone.

I went to the grain store and bought 300 kilograms of new rice and 100 kilograms of wheat flour for making bread and noodles.

She also bought fifty kilograms of corn, spending a total of eleven taels. Since she bought a lot, she asked the waiter to round off the amount and gave her eleven taels directly, rounding off the remaining six hundred coins. The waiter smiled, thinking that he had met a big customer. After glancing at the shopkeeper's expression, he nodded and rounded off the amount for her.

She also asked the shopkeeper if he had any vegetable seeds, which surprised him. Since everyone here kept their own seeds, and those without any would go digging wild vegetables in the mountains, he didn't buy that many. Tong Wenyao looked at the ones he brought out and picked out a few that could be planted this season. After cleaning up the backyard, they could plant vegetables. Because she bought so much, the shopkeeper offered to deliver the goods to her door. She figured she and her brother would come with an ox cart and then have the shopkeeper and her take them to the county gate.

After giving the instructions, she hurried to the clothing store. The family had been in exile for some time, and their clothes were all tattered. There was no time to sew, so she simply picked out a set of clothes for each of them, all made of thin velvet. Mother Qian chose a tan dress, and Mother Cui a turquoise one, as her skin was a bit tanned and it would complement her complexion. For her second uncle, she bought a gray-black one with thin velvet inside. She picked out a dark green one for her eldest brother, and an off-white one for her second brother, as he was a scholar and choosing these colors made him look more refined. For the two children, she simply picked out a pink one and a dark red one, so the children could wear brighter colors!

Silk was too expensive, so she opted for cotton. All told, it cost her twenty taels! Her wallet, which had finally bulged, deflated again. But that wasn't the end of it. She bought a few more bolts of cloth. She had cotton in her space, which she could use for making quilts and clothes. When she bought enough, she begged the shopkeeper for some unwanted scraps.

Shopkeeper Zhang saw that she was a little girl with a big heart and was not at all timid. His eyes would occasionally glance at the rags under her table. He thought that if he became friends with her, she would come to buy things in the future, so he promised to give her some rags. Before leaving, Tong Wenyao saw her put a pile of thread scraps in as well.

"Yao girl, this thread is tangled. You can still use it if you pull it back." She smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Zhang." In her heart, Zhang the shopkeeper knows how to do business.

After leaving the shop, she hid in a small alley. Seeing that no one was around, she took out more than 30 kilograms of cotton from her space. She then walked to the grain store with a large bag of things. When she passed the pork shop, she thought about how her family hadn't eaten meat in a long time. With so many children at home, how could they get nutrition without meat?

"Uncle, how did you buy this pork?" Yang Ding took a look at her. She had a wheat-colored skin and sparkling eyes. If the spot around her eyes wasn't covering it, she would have been such a pretty girl!

"Lean meat is ten cents a pound, fat meat is fifteen cents, and spare ribs are twelve cents!" Tong Wen Yao raised her eyebrows. In modern times, lean meat is more expensive, but she didn't expect it to be the opposite here. But when she thought about it, farmers only eat meat once or twice a year. When she first traveled through the book and was still on the road of exile, didn't she also go into the space at night to fry meat?

"Then give me ten pounds of lean meat." After saying that, she looked at the sewer in the corner, and thought of the fried pig intestines, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. "Uncle, how much do you sell your sewer for?"

While cutting the meat, Yang Ding said without raising his head, "Three cents a pound!" Ordinary people in the sewers would buy it, but not often. If it wasn't processed properly, it wouldn't taste good and would have a bitter taste. Only poor people who wanted to eat meat but couldn't afford it would buy it to try it.

Seeing that she was still staring at the sewer and tying the pork with straw, he asked casually, "Do you want it? I'll sell it to you at half price?"

"Uncle, no need. It's not easy to wash it if you take it back. I'll buy some more later." After giving the money, she carried the clothes on her back and the pork in her hands and went to the city gate. When she passed by the grain shop, she asked the shopkeeper to deliver it to the door.

When the waiter saw her back, he quickly put the things she bought onto the donkey cart and asked considerately, "Do you want to put the things in her hands on top?" She didn't hesitate and put the clothes on the cart directly. She then sat in front of the cart holding the pork.

Tong Wenyao waited from morning until one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Seeing that the person had not returned yet, he looked a little anxious. After mistaking a few people, he finally couldn't help but decide to go into the city to find her.

Fortunately, at the last moment, he saw Tong Wen Yao sitting on the donkey cart, which made him relax instantly.
