"Little sister, why are you buying so much!" Jiang Wei was stunned when she saw Jiang Huaixu pulling two large sacks.

Jiang Sanlang hurried forward to take it, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "My parents are going to scold me."

"The shopkeeper said that if you buy more, you can get a bonus. He even gave you two kilograms of old cotton," Jiang Huaixu said confidently. "It's still a good deal!"

When Jiang Sanlang heard this, he felt that his youngest sister had been fooled by the cloth shop owner and muttered, "He is indeed a dishonest businessman, fooling a child."

He kept nagging Jiang Huaixu: "Little sister, he bullies you because you are young. It's because Third Brother follows them that he doesn't dare to bully you..."

"Third brother, you're so long-winded! You won't be able to find a wife if you keep talking like this!"

"I······"

"Stop arguing, stop arguing." Jiang Huaixu came out to mediate, pointing to the dim sum shop not far away and said, "Third brother, wait here for us first. My sister and I will go buy you some dim sum."

Jiang Wei's eyes lit up, and she put the cotton cloth she had just picked up back into the sack, and was about to leave with Jiang Huaixu.

Before Jiang Sanlang could even say a word, he saw the two of them jumping away.

He was torn between wanting to catch up, but couldn't leave the cloth and cotton behind, so he had to stop.

He squatted on the street, bored and watching the people coming and going. After being in a daze for a while, he finally saw Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was holding a snack wrapped in oil paper in her hand and ran towards him with a happy face. But when he looked back, there was no one in sight.

Jiang Sanlang was shocked: "Sister Wei, where's my youngest sister?"

"Little sister has some things to buy. Let's take the cloth and cotton to Uncle Niu first. It's a good opportunity to see how big brother and the others are doing."

Recalling what Jiang Erlang had told him, Jiang Sanlang hesitated and said, "Youngest sister..."

Before he could finish his words, Jiang Wei stuffed a piece of dessert into his mouth.

Jiang Wei curled her lips and said, "Youngest sister's brain is much smarter than you, Third Brother. When I go out with you two, I worry more about you than her."

Jiang Sanlang rolled his eyes at Jiang Wei, nibbled on the osmanthus cake in his hand and ignored her.

After leaving the snack shop, Jiang Huaixu first went to the grocery store and bought oilcloth, three oil umbrellas and several clay jars. She tied the oilcloth and oil umbrellas with hemp rope, and put the rest into a sack. She walked out of the shop under the surprised gaze of the clerk.

She found a remote alley and asked Fu Tuan to act as her temporary surveillance. Then she bought a large iron pot from the mall, as well as salt, brown sugar, white sugar and five-spice powder for seasoning, and poured them all into the prepared jar. After filling them all up, she sealed the clay jar with scraps of cloth and hemp rope asked from the owner of the cloth shop.

The meals she had eaten in this world for so many days were all coarse salt that tasted bitter, without any seasoning. Even if Zheng Li Niang's cooking skills were good, the food was still bland.

After thinking about it, she bought some onions, ginger and garlic, and finally put all the packaging bags back into the space and sealed the sacks before Jiang Huaixu walked out of the alley again.

When she was returning the same way with a sack on one hand and an oilcloth in the other, she saw Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei still squatting on the street. When they saw her coming, their legs jumped up as if they were equipped with springs.

"Little sister, why are you so slow!"

"We have been waiting for you. If you don't go back with us, my elder and second brothers will skin me alive. Why did you buy so many things again..." Jiang Sanlang complained.

A cool breeze blew, and Jiang Huaixu looked up at the sky. She always felt that the weather in the past few days was unusual. Even if it didn't rain, it was always gloomy, and the sun had rarely appeared. At this time, dark clouds were gathering in the sky again, and it was obvious that it was going to rain again.

"Third brother, I bought some salt, sugar and other things. Let's go find the eldest and second brothers quickly. It seems like it's going to rain again."

Jiang Sanlang cheered up and stumbled forward with a sack in one hand. "Then let's go back quickly. If we're late, the road will be difficult to travel on."

The three of them took great pains to bring the things they bought to Niu Bo's mule cart.

Uncle Niu, who was taking a nap, heard the noise, opened his eyes and looked, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Sanlang, why did you buy so many things?"

"Uncle Niu, isn't the autumn harvest coming soon? It's time to eat something good during the busy farming season." Jiang Sanlang replied with a simple smile.

Jiang Huaixu took out a few pieces of dragon beard candy from his cloth bag and shared them among the three of them. He smiled and said, "Uncle Niu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. You can eat some candy first. I'll go buy some cakes. After you finish eating, we'll go home after Big Brother and the others come back."

"Hey hey." Uncle Niu responded repeatedly, his face full of wrinkles from smiling. He didn't feel at all that this trip to the county town was a loss-making business.

On the way to shopping, Jiang Huaixu bought a sharpened dagger in the mall and put it in a cloth bag.

When she returned, she was holding a few hot pancakes and a lot of roasted lamb served on lotus leaves. She sprinkled some five-spice powder and chili powder left in the space on the roasted lamb. Even Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei, who had already eaten wontons, could not resist the aroma. They each held a pancake with meat in it and ate until their mouths were full of oil.

Uncle Niu wolfed down his meat-filled pancake before he finally had time to ask Jiang Huaixu, "Xu'er, what did you sprinkle on that mutton? It smells so good!"

"I found them at the grocery store, and I bought all the leftovers."

Uncle Niu said it was a pity.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Jiang Dalang and his two companions finally arrived in an ox cart.

Jiang Wei burped and distributed the remaining meat-filled pancakes to the three people, while Jiang Sanlang moved things with a happy face.

Jiang Dalang looked at the things he bought. Although he felt a little sad, he didn't say anything. After all, they were all used at home.

What's more, when they passed by the butcher's shop, they bought a lot of meat to eat. Now that their family was finally looking better, there was really no need to be so frugal.

"Move everything up here, and let's go back. It looks like it's going to rain."

As they spoke, several people started to move.

Uncle Niu looked at the ox cart and couldn't help but sigh that Old Man Jiang had really become rich.

Although he was envious, he stepped forward to lend a hand.

Everything was ready, and the Jiang family members all sat on the ox cart. Uncle Niu shouted, and the mule cart and the ox cart clattered away one after the other.

In the car, Jiang Huaixu was talking in a low voice with Zheng Li'niang. Jiang Erlang touched the sack containing the iron pot, opened it and took a look.

When he moved the sack just now, he felt something was wrong. It was too heavy and there was a clanging sound inside.

"Iron pot?"

He looked up at Jiang Huaixu and his gaze met Jiang Huaixu's.

"I bought this iron pot and asked my sister-in-law to cook some food for me. It also contains salt, sugar and other things."

Jiang Erlang's eyelids twitched. He sealed the sack again and sat back down.

Jiang Huaixu glanced at him several times, but seeing that he was just eating the cake quietly, he stopped paying attention to him.

After walking for about two quarters of an hour, raindrops began to fall heavily.

The oilcloth and umbrella that Jiang Huaixu had just bought came in handy immediately.

The people in the car held up umbrellas, and the two drivers covered themselves with oilcloth. Even if the rain was heavy, the people in the car were still talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
