Although her family is wealthy, her mother has always been strict with her and doesn't allow her to spend money recklessly, so her pocket money is limited.
She didn't dare tell her family that she had lost money betting with her classmates, so she could only endure it.
Who would have thought that today Gu Tang would actually take the initiative to return the money to her. Qin Lulu wanted to be firm and say no, but at this moment, she felt a rumbling sound in her stomach.
She quickly covered her stomach, afraid that someone would hear her.
In front of the belly, face is not that important.
Qin Lulu: "Really give it back to me?"
Shen Yizhi: "If you don't want it, I'll take it back."
Qin Lulu grabbed the money.
After school, Shen Yizi went to investigate the night market of this era. Unfortunately, it was not dark yet and many stalls in the night market were not open, but he could still see something.
After a round of thinking, she had a clear idea in her mind and had already figured out what business she wanted to start.
That's right, she planned to sell food at the night market and earn her first pot of gold.
There are almost no entertainment venues in this era, so how do people arrange their time after get off work? Some people stay at home, but many young people like to go out for a walk, and night markets become a good place to go.
After returning home, Shen Yizi put down his schoolbag, rolled up his sleeves and started cooking.
I don’t know why, but after coming here, the food she makes tastes much better than before.
Although it’s because the ingredients are more natural, her cooking skills have also improved significantly.
Perhaps this body itself is more talented.
Shen Yizhi opened the rice jar and found that the rice jar, which was almost empty, was now almost full! The oil pot was also filled with half a pot of oil, which was enough for a long time.
I guess it was added by my second brother.
From the memories inherited from his original body, Shen Yizhi learned that Second Brother Gu had been working outside. He didn't know what he was doing specifically, but he had always brought money home.
Most of the responsibility of supporting the family fell on him.
After dinner, Shen Yizi returned to his room and searched the closet until he found a pearl shirt.
The pearl shirt is naturally not made of pearls, but of pearl wool.
Pearl wool, also known as fetal wool, is taken out of the mother sheep's belly by caesarean section when the fetus has grown wool but has not yet been born. The hair of the fetus curls up like grains of rice beads, especially the black pearl lamb, which is extremely rare and precious.
Clothes made of this pearl wool are called pearl shirts.
During the ten or so days in autumn when the weather is still cool but not completely cold, wearing a pearl shirt is extremely light, soft and warm.
The original owner's cashmere pearl sweater was brought back from Tibet by Gu's father during a shopping trip. He brought three pieces back and sold two of them. People were scrambling to buy them even at a price of three hundred. The remaining, the most precious black pearl sweater, was left to the original owner.
I have only worn it three times so far. After all, I can only wear this cashmere pearl sweater for about ten days a year. The clothes are still new and feel extremely comfortable and soft, and very skin-friendly.
When the Gu family was in the most difficult time, they had sold almost all of their valuable things, but none of the Gu brothers asked the original owner to give up the pearl shirt.
Now, Shen Yizi plans to pawn it to get some start-up capital.
The production process of the pearl shirt is too harmful to nature, so it has been basically banned now. It can be said that the number of pearl shirts in existence is limited. If I pawn this one, I don't know if I will have the chance to redeem it.
But compared with people, no matter how precious the clothes are, they are insignificant.
Shen Yizi hardened his heart, folded his clothes neatly and put them into his schoolbag.
It was Friday and school ended earlier than usual. After leaving school, Shen Yizi went straight to the pawnshop.
When the boss asked whether it was a dead or alive pawn, she hesitated, "How much is a living pawn?"
"Fifty."
The pearl shirt originally cost more than three hundred yuan, but it could only be pawned for fifty yuan! "What about pawning for death?"
"one hundred."
Fake businessman!
Shen Yizhizi pretended to be pitiful and cute, and finally negotiated the price down to one hundred and twenty.
One hundred and twenty was equivalent to three or four months' salary for most people at that time, but Shen Yizi was in a heavy mood.
She even felt a little regretful. She should have lived a good life.
After hesitating for a long time at the door of the pawnshop, I decided to give it up. It had already been pawned and there was no point worrying about it. The most important thing now was to make good use of the money I had.
On the curb outside the pawnshop, several teenagers who looked like gangsters gathered together. Among them, the tall and thin one saw Shen Yizi coming out of the pawnshop, immediately threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground, crushed it, and followed him.
After walking for a while, Shen Yizhi found someone following him. He couldn't help feeling a little scared and tried to walk to where there were more people.
When she entered the alley where her yard was, she ran as fast as she could, ran into the yard and blocked the gate, gasping for breath.
Gu Tianqi was sitting on a small stool in the yard sorting out the waste he had picked up. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Shen Yizhi took a deep breath and patted his chest. "It's okay. I just ran into a fierce dog on the road. I was afraid it would bite me, so I ran back."
Gu Tianqi taught her: "Sister, you can't run when you meet a dog. The more you run, the more it will chase you. As long as you pretend to squat on the ground and pick up stones, it will be afraid of you."
Shen Yizhi said he had learned his lesson, "Okay, I'll do this next time."
During dinner, Gu Xueting came back and asked as soon as he entered the door: "Gu Tang, did you pawn that pearl shirt?"
Shen Yizi was surprised: "How did you know?" She was thinking of finding an opportunity to tell him, and he already knew it.
"Akira saw you coming out of the pawn shop, and she'll know if she goes in and asks."
After Gu Xueting's explanation, Shen Yizhi realized that the boy who looked like a gangster and had followed him all the way was Mingzi, Li Xiaoming, Gu Xueting's good friend.
The reason why Mingzi followed her was not because she wanted to rob her money as she thought, but because she was afraid that someone else would rob her money, so she followed her to protect her. After all, she was a little girl who came out of the pawnshop, and she might have a lot of money on her. In the eyes of those who were interested, she would definitely be regarded as a little fat sheep.
Shen Yizi felt a warm feeling in her heart. Mingzi must be taking care of her like this out of Gu Xueting's consideration.
She served him some food and said, "Brother, I did pawn my pearl shirt, but I didn't do it carelessly. Eat first, and I'll tell you in detail after dinner."
Gu Xueting was skeptical, but he sat down and ate his meal in big mouthfuls, looking very hungry.
After finishing the meal and clearing away the dishes, Shen Yizi took out a written plan from his schoolbag.
The plan is written in a grid notebook. There is no other way because all primary school students use this kind of notebook.
