After leaving the pharmacy, Liu Yuhan thought it might be more convenient to go it alone. She told Liu Yang that she was going to the clothing store and asked him to go find his grandparents first and meet them at the grain store later. Seeing that the clothing store was not far away, Liu Yang left with peace of mind.
Liu Yuhan wrapped her face with a cloth, leaving only her eyes exposed, and walked towards the clothing store as she remembered. She remembered that there was a jewelry store next to the clothing store.
The jewelry store was neither big nor small, and was deserted. In such a famine year, unless one was from a wealthy family, who would have extra money to buy jewelry?
"Waiter, is your boss here?" Liu Yuhan asked the waiter who was dozing off.
"Yes, yes, may I ask what you would like to buy?"
The waiter blurted out something before he could even see who it was. Seeing that it was a little girl in old clothes, he looked uninterested, but he didn't say anything unpleasant.
"Excuse me, young lady, what do you need?"
"I have a business to do and I want to talk to your shopkeeper. Please call me, little brother."
He gave him two coins in secret. The waiter saw the free money, smiled and put it away, and shouted to the backyard, "Boss, someone is looking for you."
Shopkeeper Li walked over quickly. Seeing a girl wearing patched clothes and covering her face, his expression changed slightly. However, based on his business ethics, he still asked, "Girl?"
Liu Yuhan took out the cloth bag from her body, carried the waiter on her back, and showed it to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he quickly invited Liu Yuhan to the back hall to talk.
"This is a family heirloom from my master's family. Due to some reasons, I have to sell it. Since I know some martial arts, my master asked me to dress up and come here. I will take a look at it and sell it on my master's behalf if it is suitable."
As he spoke, he took out an antique silver bracelet weighing about 50 grams from his bag.
The bracelet is definitely a modern take on ancient craftsmanship, so it is exquisite.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he took it with trembling hands and looked at it. Wow, the workmanship and craftsmanship are top-notch!
Rich ladies have no shortage of money, nor do they lack competition. They can make a lot of money by selling this item, and the shopkeeper's eyes are full of money.
"It's easy, young lady. How much is your master willing to pay?" Liu Yuhan hesitated and stretched out a finger.
"What! One hundred taels is too expensive!" The shopkeeper raised his voice and covered his mouth again.
Liu Yuhan was stunned for a moment and then reacted immediately.
"The shopkeeper has seen the world. Look at the workmanship. It is rare even in the entire Nanlin Dynasty. This is inherited from ancestors. It belongs to high-ranking officials." Liu Yuhan deliberately spoke the last four words slowly.
The shopkeeper's heart skipped a beat. This... He had originally wanted to lower the price so he could make more money when selling, but after hearing what Liu Yuhan said, he hesitated. Their biggest fear in business was offending an important person.
Even though he was reluctant, he had no choice but to do as Liu Yuhan said. One hundred taels is one hundred taels, good things can always be sold.
Liu Yuhan asked the shopkeeper to bring some silver ingots and copper coins. Liu Yuhan carried the large bag of silver in a backpack and went out. In a deserted corner, he put the silver into the space.
Hahahahahahahaha…
I really made a profit today, 100 taels. One tael is 1,000, so 100 taels is 100,000. I bought this bracelet for 500 in the event area of the mall.
She also had more than a dozen smaller bracelets in her space, as well as some small gold beans she had accumulated when the price of gold dropped over the years. These were her confidence in ancient times.
She stretched out her hand to the shopkeeper, hoping to sell it for ten taels. Thank you for your mistaken love and dedication, hahahaha...
Liu Yuhan suppressed his excitement, looked around to see that no one was following him, and then walked to another clothing store not far away.
When she entered the clothing store, the waiter enthusiastically took her to the affordable section. In this dynasty, ordinary people wore hemp and coarse cotton, the better ones were fine cotton, and silk was only worn by dignitaries.
Ready-made clothing was rare; we bought cloth and made it ourselves. Since there were so many people in the family, we didn't buy ramie, as it was too hard. So we chose three darker-colored coarse cottons and bought one bolt each (one bolt was 4 zhang (13.2 meters)). We also bought three bolts of fine cotton for undergarments. This way, each family member had two sets of undergarments and two sets of outerwear. Although there were clothes in the space, they were too unusual for ancient times and could only be worn inside when the weather was cold.
She also bought some needles and thread, and several dozen pairs of soles, spending ten taels of silver. When the shopkeeper saw how much she had bought, he gave her two bags of rags to make shoe uppers.
Six bolts of cloth was a lot. Liu Yuhan asked the shopkeeper to help deliver the cloth. The shopkeeper used a cart to deliver the cloth. They dropped it off at the nearby Huzikou, then told the waiter that his family would come pick it up. Since there were few people around Huzikou, Liu Yuhan took the opportunity to put it in the space.
I waited a while before leaving Huzikou. Fearing my grandparents might be waiting impatiently, I hurried to the vegetable street and bought ten pounds of fatty pork belly at twenty wen a pound, spending two hundred wen. There was very little green vegetables, almost impossible to buy.
There was a steamed bun shop nearby. At 11 o'clock, there were not many people near the shop, so Liu Yuhan bought all the remaining steamed buns.
I had sixty steamed buns, which increased in price from one wen to two wen. I had thirty dumplings, which increased in price from two wen to three wen. I spent a total of 150 wen. I saved a few of the dumplings and steamed buns and took the rest to a secluded place and put them in the space.
She wanted to buy more, but she would have to come back next time. She hurried to the grain store and saw three people waiting for her. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dani'er, where have you been? Your brother went to the clothing store and couldn't find you, so he came back. Why did you buy so many things?"
"Grandma, this is the money I earned from my work. I just bought some pork and buns." Liu Yuhan whispered to her.
"Oh, I understand. I won't say any more." Old Mrs. Jiang whispered back, telling her to put the things in the backpack and cover it.
"Let's move quickly and hurry back to take Old Man Li's car. Brother Yang, carry the food and go."
All the money in the family was collected by Old Mrs. Jiang, and the two elders bought 100 kilograms of brown rice.
Just a few days later, the price of brown rice had indeed risen again, reaching 12 wen per jin. Old Mrs. Jiang had spent more than one liang on shopping. The two liang given by Mrs. Li, plus the two liang given by her own daughter, had already cost nearly three liang on medicine and food, leaving the family with only one liang left. The two elders were worried.
They caught up with Old Man Li's car from Dashi Village at noon and went back slowly. Liu Yuhan gave his grandparents and Liu Yang a steamed bun and a steamed bun respectively. The two old people ate one steamed bun and stopped eating.
Liu Yang, the tool man, was a little confused today. He told his grandparents what happened in the pharmacy. He heard that Liu Yuhan had saved someone. His grandparents paused for a moment, then returned to normal, and kept telling him not to tell anyone else.
He was eating the buns his sister had given him, meeting her calm gaze. Thinking of how she had calmly and expertly saved someone in the pharmacy, he suddenly realized how much his sister had changed.
Men are really pigs.
