The red ribbons are simple in design and not many in variety; they cost three coins each or five coins for two.
Hair ornaments are much more expensive, and come in a wide variety of styles and types.
Fabric flowers, silk flowers, pith flowers, wrapped flowers, velvet flowers... the latter are too expensive, so the men only look at fabric flowers.
The men were astonished that a small cloth flower cost nine coins.
"Not bad at all. Look, a single velvet flower costs fifty or sixty coins, while cloth flowers are very cheap." Old Master Xu said this to others while also convincing himself.
Nine coins can only buy one inedible flower, and not even any fabric, but those velvet flowers are also inedible, yet they cost fifty or sixty coins! Compared to that, nine coins is nothing.
Li Wen looked at the velvet flower and said enviously, "The velvet flower is still the prettiest."
"What's the use of looking pretty? The price is what it is! It's good enough if there are fabric flowers at all." Fan Xiaoliu glanced at the various hair accessories displayed on the counter and thought they were all the same.
I don't understand why girls love this stuff that they can't eat or drink. With that money, they could buy a pound of rice and make porridge.
However, this was money the girl earned herself. After paying the public taxes, she could buy whatever she wanted with the remaining sixty coins, and no one else in the family could say anything.
Sigh, he also wants to work at the herbal medicine shop, so he can save sixty coins every month. You know, that's sixty coins! He's never had more than ten coins in his entire life. Now, the girl can have sixty coins a month. She's really rich.
"You're right. Then, waiter, get me that sky-blue hair accessory."
"I also want a sky-blue hair accessory."
"Me too."
Hearing the chorus of sky blue, Boss Xu panicked and shouted, "Hey, why are you all wearing the same color as me? At least change your colors! Your colors are so much prettier!"
Honestly, how come he buys in front and they follow behind? If that's the case, all the girls in the village will end up buying the same things.
“Brother Xu, there’s no other way. My sister specifically asked for a sky-blue hair accessory and a red hair tie.”
"Me too."
"Why are they all the same?"
The men scratched their heads, looking completely bewildered.
"Let's just buy them. The girls probably agreed that they wanted the same thing."
"That's right, then it's the same!"
Looking at the fluffy, pink velvet flower, which seemed perfect for a cold winter, Hu Wenhua pointed to it and said to the shopkeeper, "I want this pink one."
The shopkeeper was surprised that someone among this group of men would buy velvet flowers. After a moment of surprise, he said with delight, "Oh, good, sir, I'll wrap this up for you! I'll take fifty-five of the fifty-six coins."
The others swallowed hard.
Strange, that's fifty-five coins, and they actually used it to buy a tiny velvet flower?
Yes, there are three small fuzzy flowers on each plant, which are very pretty, but no matter how pretty they are, they can't be eaten.
Even after Hu Wenhua paid fifty-five coins, the shopkeeper, all smiles, packed up the velvet flowers and respectfully handed them to Hu Wenhua, leaving the men still in shock.
"Waiter, please wrap up some silk flowers for me! The prettiest ones!"
A familiar voice came from the entrance, causing all the men in the shop to turn around and look.
Then Fan Erzhu and the other two walked in.
