Lin Shucheng took her to many blacksmiths' homes in the city, and bought her some iron products, kitchen knives and iron pots.
I spent ten taels of silver in total, which wasn't much, but no matter how small a fly leg is, it's still meat.
Just save it bit by bit.
Seeing that things in the city were cheap, Lin Jinyue decided to save money and asked the tailor to make several decent clothes for everyone in the family, so that her parents wouldn't have to do these chores while they were busy every day.
It was not those gorgeous clothes, but the simplest long gowns and skirts. Lin Jinyue sighed that the prices here were indeed not high. Clothes for four people were two hundred wen for adults and one hundred and fifty wen for children. If one person made five sets, it would only be three hundred and seven hundred wen.
Seeing that they bought a lot, the shopkeeper gave Lin Jinyue a very cute rabbit bag.
Lin Jinyue returned to the inn carrying the fluffy bunny bag.
I still have seven taels of silver left, so I plan to go out and buy some more things.
There is still a week until his daughter's birthday. Lin Shucheng felt distressed when he thought of how dirty he had made his daughter.
When had his daughter ever suffered such an injustice?
This birthday can't be sloppy, I have to celebrate it carefully for my daughter.
There has to be a cake, and a birthday present. Also, my daughter has been bored these past few nights and has been talking about wanting to read storybooks. And she forgot to buy feldspar and quartz sand just now, so she has to prepare all of these.
Lin Shucheng rubbed his daughter's head and secretly decided in his heart that after he settled down in the future, he would find a way to reduce some of his daughter's burden.
After Lin Shucheng left the inn, he looked everywhere for materials for glass. He thought that quartz stone and lime sand could be found everywhere, but he didn't buy much after searching everywhere.

They visited Qingquan Town in the past two days and found a large warehouse, otherwise they could not take anything back.
Buy sugar figures, candied haws, and candied fruits when you see them!
When you see beautiful ornaments or screens, buy them!
If you see a cute little toy, buy it!
Lin Jinyue held a bunch of snacks and toys, thinking that her father really treated her like a child, now she is an adult!
Lin Shucheng didn't care whether she was an adult or not. He didn't have the conditions when he was fleeing from famine, but now that he was in the city, he wanted to buy it for his daughter when he saw other people's children clamoring for something.
The three of them did not plan to stay in the city for long, so they brought Li to a restaurant to splurge, had their meal and then left.
Although there are no people like Prince Jing who force the grain here, the merchants can't help but collect the grain and sell it outside.
When I bought other things before, the prices seemed quite affordable, but when I came to the restaurant, I found that the vegetables were still cheap and the meat was really expensive.
But it wasn't outrageously expensive, not the kind that would easily cost hundreds of taels of silver.
He calculated that one tael of silver here would be enough for a family of four to use for a year.
Lin Shucheng ordered two main dishes, one vegetarian dish, and a soup, which cost five taels of silver.
Well, eating up five years of other people's living expenses in one go, it seems quite extravagant just thinking about it.
Lin Jinyue took out another two taels of silver and packed a roast chicken for her brother.
Although it is a bit expensive, it is only this once.
It's nice to indulge yourself occasionally.
Lin Jinyue's purse was much emptier. Her mother had spent all eighty taels on buying medicinal herbs, leaving her with no money at all. She used the rest to buy a bunch of things.
She only left twenty taels of silver for emergency.
But this money must be used. For example, for those medicinal herbs, we have to guard against the effects of miasma in the future, and we have to prevent everyone from acclimatizing to the local climate. Needless to say, we have to prepare more medicines for injuries and medicinal powders to prevent snakes, insects, rats, ants and so on.
Although they can be collected in the wild, some medicinal materials require special preparation methods and a long time, so they must be bought from a pharmacy.
Lin Jinyue no longer felt sorry for the money when she thought about the materials her father bought for making glass and soap.
The glass cannot be sold for the time being, but soap is also a good business and I can make money from it.
Thinking of this, Lin Jinyue didn't worry about the money anymore and just focused on eating.
Lin Shucheng and his friends sat by the railing on the second floor. When they turned around, they could see the storyteller in the lobby telling stories.
Hey, it’s still a story about the Red Army.
Lin Jinyue blinked, "I hope the Red Army won't go to Lingnan. Let's just fight here. It doesn't matter who wins."
Lin Shucheng nodded and lowered his voice: "But it seems that the Red Army is not that powerful now. We have to settle down in Lingnan as soon as possible."
Lin Jinyue also thought so. No matter how people brag about it now, as long as it is a feudal monarchy, the people will have a hard time.
Go to Lingnan and settle down first, and then take a boat away if the situation does not go well.
Lin Jinyue just listened to the storyteller's words as a script.
This storyteller seemed to be exaggerating the Red Army to the skies, describing them as wise, brave, and as intelligent as gods, and he even went so far as to mention that when the Red Army leader, Zhao Tianquan, was born, auspicious signs descended from heaven and the sky was filled with purple light, indicating that he was going to be a great man.
Lin Shucheng listened with amusement and complained to Lin Jinyue: "No matter what dynasty it is, if you want to rebel, you have to first give yourself a mysterious identity. Do you think the emperor has three heads and six arms or something?"
Lin Jinyue was also amused: "If not, how could they rebel?"
The father and daughter were complaining and didn't notice that they were being targeted.
The three of them had extraordinary demeanor, and they did not look like ordinary farmers. They were generous in their spending and were strangers. In the eyes of this group of people, they were simply perfect little fat sheep.
After they had lunch, they prepared to leave.
Just yesterday, when Lin Jinyue got the map, she decided on a route to escape the famine. Starting from Yunsong County and taking the water route, it would take about two days to reach Chong'an Town.
After Chong'an Town, they have to walk a very long mountain road, which will take about ten days. If there are no injuries, they can reach Yunmeng County in ten days. From Yunmeng County, they can take the water route to their destination, Shawan County.
Lin Jinyue asked her father about it. The boat ticket is not expensive. Children are not charged per person, and adults are not expensive either. It is not far away, and it costs ten cents per person. However, the accommodation is a large dormitory bed, and there may not be any place to sleep. If you want to sleep in a private room, you have to pay extra. There are two sizes of rooms, one 100 cents and the other 200 cents.
It’s not expensive. Every household in the village should be able to afford this amount of money.
His family was fully capable of spending two hundred coins to buy a room.
When they passed by the inn, Lin Jinyue saw Mr. Hu San and his wife standing at the door of the inn, not knowing what they were looking at.
Lin Jinyue went over to greet them with a smile: "Uncle Hu, Auntie!"
Lin Jinyue has a very sweet voice. She smiled when she saw the two people, revealing two cute dimples.
Hu Laosan was carrying a lot of things in his hands. His wife looked around for a long time before she saw the little kid Lin Jinyue.
Both of them came over with smiles on their faces.
