After leaving the village, Yunxi felt relaxed and took out the steamed cornbread she had made the day before from her spatial storage, intending to eat it as she walked.
The distance from the village to the town is quite far; it takes about an hour to walk there.
The original girl was already used to walking this path, and now that it's Yunxi's turn, there's even less of a problem, since Yunxi's physique is much better than before.
Walking for an hour is no big deal for her.
Yunxi probably set off around 5 a.m., so she arrived in town around 6 a.m.
By this time, the people in the town had already gotten up, busily making and eating breakfast, and then going to work or to the fields.
It was a scene of extraordinary activity.
There are a lot of shops in the town. Even though it's still early, there are still hardworking people who have opened their shops very early.
There are rumors that doing business will be prohibited in the future, as it is considered speculation. However, since no official document has been issued yet, some people are still continuing to do business.
After all, the money you earn from running a shop is much better than the twenty or thirty yuan you make working a regular job for a month.
The shops that Yunxi wanted to buy, such as large vats, jars, and wooden basins, were already open. However, she wanted to buy quite a lot of things, and if she didn't try to hide it, it would definitely be quite shocking.
At this moment, Yunxi wanted to try out the bewitching technique she had cultivated when she was a demon in Peach Village. She wondered if it would still be useful.
If it's useful, then we won't have to go through all that trouble.
Yunxi looked at the shop in front of her, which sold household items such as large water vats, jars, soup bowls, and plates.
Just what he needed, he secretly smeared some mud on the ground and turned his face into a big mess.
Even if my deception doesn't work, it doesn't matter if I buy a lot of things, since I haven't revealed my true colors.
Furthermore, now that Yunxi has entered this body, perhaps due to changes brought about by her soul, her appearance is much better than before, making her particularly memorable at first glance.
She didn't want to buy too many things and make it easy for people to remember her.
Once inside the shop, there was only the owner, who looked to be around 30 years old, smiling and seemingly very easygoing.
At least after Yunxi entered the shop, she felt that the owner made her feel quite comfortable.
It seems that to be a business owner, at the very least, you have to satisfy your customers, only then will they have the desire to make purchases.
"Boss, I want to buy large water vats, jars with lids, earthenware pots, soup bowls, and the like."
While talking to the boss by the stream, Yunxi secretly stared into his eyes. Suddenly, his gaze changed for a moment, and the boss, who had been smiling, slowly became dazed.
Yunxi was so happy she almost jumped for joy. She knew her bewitching spell was still effective, but her joy lasted only a short while before the boss regained his senses.
At this moment, the shop owner shook his head, touched his head, and turned to Yunxi, saying, "Girl, what did you say you wanted to buy?"
Although my confusion technique was indeed effective, it only lasted for about a minute or two; after that, I would regain my senses.
Knowing that her time to hold out was short, Yunxi quickly started talking to the shop owner, asking about the prices of the items and preparing to count the quantity of goods in the shop so that she could pay him for everything.
She figured she could put everything into her spatial storage, give him the money, and then run away in a minute and a half.
"Boss, I'd like to buy ten large water vats, covered jars, 50 two-jin (1 kg) jars, 50 five-jin (2.5 kg) jars, 100 ten-jin (5 kg) jars, 20 washbasin-sized wooden basins, 30 bathtub-sized wooden basins, 20 soup bowls, and 50 plates for serving vegetables. Could you please calculate the price?"
When the shopkeeper heard that Yunxi had bought so many things, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he could see money in them.
It's rare to encounter such a big customer buying so many things, so the shop owner was naturally very enthusiastic and immediately took out an abacus to calculate the prices of those items.
"Girl, since you bought so many things, I won't make any money off you. Consider it a way for me to clear out my inventory. Large water vats are three yuan each. Jars with lids are 50 cents each for two jin (1 kg), one yuan each for five jin (2.5 kg), and two yuan each for ten jin (4 kg). As for the wooden basins the size of washbasins, they are made of wood and are only 50 cents each. The wooden basins the size of bathtubs are more expensive, since they use more wood, so they are 80 cents each. Soup bowls are 20 cents each, and plates are 10 cents each. These two types are all homemade, so the prices are a bit cheaper."
He quickly calculated all the prices on the abacus beads, his face beaming with a wide smile that made his eyes almost disappear.
"Miss, all the items add up to 348 yuan. Look at all this stuff, would you like me to deliver it for you?"
Yunxi glanced at the things the boss said he made, and they were indeed a little rougher than the things sold by the supply and marketing cooperative.
Although the appearance is a bit rough, the item is still very durable.
People at this time are making things with the intention of using them for a lifetime, so there is no question of cutting corners.
"No need for delivery. Just pick out everything I want and put it aside. Someone will come and help carry it away in a bit."
Pretending to take money out of their pocket, they actually took it out of their spatial storage.
I counted out 348 yuan and gave it to the boss.
After the boss lent the money, he counted it more than twice to make sure there were no problems, and he was visibly in a great mood.
After all, it's rare to encounter a customer who buys so many things, and on top of that, he doesn't have to deliver them to his door himself, so he's naturally overjoyed.
"Miss, money is no problem. Please wait a moment while I pick out everything you want and put it aside."
The boss was incredibly fast; it was probably the allure of money that made him so quick. He put the things Yunxi had bought aside in no time.
After making sure she had put all the things she bought aside, Yunxi started using her clumsy deception again.
When the boss's eyes glazed over, he looked around and saw that there was no one else around, and no one outside seemed to be paying attention to him.
Quickly pack up those things, and then leave.
When the shop owner came to his senses, he saw that the little girl who had just bought things and all the items he had sold were gone.
