Chapter 48 They are just little liars
Wang Tiangou said calmly, "Xiao Yuanbao, you spent so much effort to draw the talisman, why sell it to someone who doesn't know the goods! Keep it, someone will naturally pay a high price for it in the future."
The lady wearing a veil glanced at Wang Tiangou.
He whispered an order to Aunt Tang San.
Aunt Tang murmured reluctantly, "Madam, you really want to buy it! They are just little liars, okay... buy one."
Raise your chin.
"Our lady is kindhearted and compassionate. Seeing you poor swindlers are pitiful, she has specially shown mercy and bought you a piece of what you call a talisman. But ten taels of silver for one piece is too much. How much is the talisman worth? I will give you a hundred coins, and we will deliver the goods in exchange for the money!"
Sanbao and the others looked at her as if she were a fool.
Tang Sangu took out ten taels of silver as if cutting meat, "Forget it, forget it, ten taels is ten taels!"
Sanbao took out the amulet that his second brother had used but had been worn out.
Sold it to Aunt Tang San.
For a thing like this, it's a waste to sell it for ten taels of silver.
This is half consumed, just right for her.
Aunt Tang San took it, but she couldn't tell what was good or bad about it.
He put away all the miscellaneous evil-averting things he had bought from Baozhitang while swearing.
He helped the lady into the carriage at the door and left.
Before leaving, he glared at Xiao Yuanbao and the others.
Little Yuanbao was holding a candied haws in his mouth and a large silver ingot worth ten taels in his hand, and he was grinning foolishly as he couldn't let go of it.
He didn't take her seriously at all.
After the master and servant left.
Sanbao asked quietly, "Sister, can those things really ward off evil spirits?"
Little Yuanbao puffed up his cheeks and blew bubbles to play, "No!"
"Can't? Then why did you say that?"
Little Yuanbao replied, "There are so many fake things, and they are made so beautifully, I was just shocked..."
Dabao and the others...
They actually thought it had some effect, and were still thinking there was something else in Baozhitang.
No, the fake one is sold for one hundred taels of silver!
They sold a real talisman to someone for only ten taels of silver, which was quite a loss.
It's really... it's so easy to make money from the rich.
Next time, if they come to buy again, just offer fifty taels!
No, one hundred taels!
It turns out my sister can draw talismans and can make so much money!
"Go away, what's fake? I think the talismans you guys are selling are fake. I haven't exposed you yet, but you are still talking about me. What did you say you wanted just now?" The shopkeeper of Baozhitang was still in a happy state.
One hundred taels of silver were received.
Such good things only happen a few times throughout the year.
I'm in a good mood and don't bother with these little brats anymore.
We are all on the same path.
As long as the suckers were willing to spend money, he wouldn't care about the fact that these little brats made ten taels of silver from his shop.
This mother and her children were wearing straw clothes, and it was obvious that they were from a poor family. He considered it as a good deed.
Cai said hurriedly, "Boss, we want some cinnabar and talisman paper, of better quality and cheaper..."
The shopkeeper of Baozhitang was in a good mood and worked efficiently. He quickly took out the things and said, "Okay, I won't make any money from you today. How much do you want?"
Cai had not thought about buying much before, mainly because he wanted Xiao Yuanbao to draw a talisman for someone in his family.
She had just witnessed with her own eyes that the young man had sold another talisman, and that’s when she started to have unnecessary thoughts.
I draw a few pictures from time to time. What if I encounter a situation like today? Can I sell them?
It's just a windfall!
I just asked for ten large talismans.
He didn't want a jar of cinnabar or a cinnabar pen, but the cinnabar pen that fortune-teller Liu took away last time was still there.
The boss of Baozhitang had an occupational disease and started to blow the whistle again.
"My cinnabar and talisman paper are both of top quality. In Baili Town, you can hardly find anything of better quality than mine. Several witches, such as Wu Po Liu and Zhang Daxianer, all bought their products from my shop. Taoist priests also buy their products from me when they perform rituals. Cinnabar is the purest..."
There was a crackling sound.
In the end, he accepted one hundred coins from Cai.
Delivery completed.
Little Yuanbao also had an occupational disease and chuckled, "Uncle, I see that your forehead is black, I guess you will lose money in the near future!"
The shopkeeper of Baozhitang was scowling. "Bah, bah, bah! You little kid, don't be shy! Good luck to you! Bah, bah, bah!"
Dabao coughed lightly, picked up his sister and left.
"Shopkeeper, you are just a kid, we are leaving now. I wish your business is booming and you will make a fortune!"
Sanbao also bowed, "Make a fortune! Make a fortune!"
The group picked up the cinnabar and talisman paper and walked out of Baozhitang.
If they didn't leave now, they were afraid that the shopkeeper would stop selling things to them.
Now that we have money in hand, it's time to go shopping.
The last time I went there, I only had ten taels of silver in my hand. I had a lot of things to buy and it was not enough, so I only bought two pounds of meat and a bag of dumplings for one meal, and that was it.
Today I made twenty-five taels of money from the Ganoderma lucidum I sold, and I also made ten taels of money from selling talismans from the cakes that fell from the sky.
Cai was a lavish spender and bought several pounds of pork belly, a pig's foot, and two pounds of large bones in one go.
I took the pork belly home to make braised pork and steamed meat for the children.
The children have never eaten it since they were grown up.
Pig's trotters can be stewed with soybeans, which is very delicious.
Stewed winter melon with big bones, children will grow taller after drinking this drink!
Before she got married, Cai worked as a helper in a restaurant kitchen and did some chores. She saw the chefs prepare some dishes.
My cooking skills are decent, but I’ve never had the opportunity to show them off.
There is no food.
I bought some tofu. Little Yuanbao loves to eat tofu balls.
I bought some sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, etc. I couldn't afford to buy them before, but now that I have more money, I bought some to cook for the children, and they taste better.
Little Yuanbao loved to be clean and pretty, so he bought her a piece of scented soap and some flowery ropes.
Cai hasn't finished making the children's cotton shirts yet, but that doesn't stop her from buying some coarse cloth to make short coats for the children.
At least have a set of clothes to wash.
Just think of it as making new clothes for the Chinese New Year.
We never bought new clothes for the New Year every year, but this year we have the means, so everyone made a new cotton jacket, a underwear, and a robe for the outside.
Especially for the little one, I bought two sets of fine cloth clothes and a silk cloth outer robe.
I also made a special skirt for the little girl.
The little girl is over three years old, but she has never worn a pretty little skirt.
Skirt cost fabric.
Cai didn't buy it herself, so she just made do with it. She could take the old clothes that the little girl didn't want, sew them up and make her a middle-length shirt.
I also bought some scraps of cloth and made soles for the children.
You need both cotton shoes and cloth shoes.
All in all, I spent seven or eight taels of silver.
There were still thirty taels left in hand. Cai put it in her pocket and felt much more upright.
Thanks to her children, she is now a wealthy person.
She doesn't plan to buy anything anymore.
You have food, clothing and a place to live. Start saving money now, and when you have saved enough, use it to buy some land.
If you have land in your hands, you will not be worried.
She'll go and inquire about the land price some other day. Because she was poor, she had never paid attention to this matter before, but now it's time to put it on her agenda.
Before we knew it, we were loaded with bags and were ready to go back.
Little Yuanbao got down to the ground and walked by himself.
She led the way in front, and everyone followed her slowly.
The little kid looked around as he walked.
Suddenly, she was attracted by a group of sheep on the side of the road.
"Little Fat Sheep, you can sell them by piece or by kilogram. The market is closing early. I will close the stall in a little while. Little Fat Sheep is on sale at a low price!"
The morning market is almost over and the stalls are mostly occupied in twos and threes.
The shepherd had one last sheep and a leg left to sell, and he was shouting out his wares with all his might.
There are only a few people left at the gathering.
The boy came up to him and asked with his chubby little mouth, "Uncle, is the mutton delicious?"
"Of course it's delicious. If a child eats mutton, he can grow as tall as a lamb!" The shepherd saw that the little girl was not as tall as a lamb, so he gestured to her.
"So which is better, mutton or pork?" the boy asked shamelessly.
The shepherd laughed and said, "They are both delicious, each with its own flavor. Lamb is more tender... If you want to eat it, ask your parents to buy some for you to try. Little girl, eating lamb will make you grow taller!"
After shouting for a long time, a little milk ball came.
I don't know who he belongs to, but he is so cute, with a round face, two neat pigtails, a new hair tie, and neat clothes. He is smart and not afraid of strangers. You can tell at first glance that he is a pampered child at home.
Cai and her friends walked forward.
The little kid turned around and hugged her thighs, "Mom, eat some meat!"
Cai said lovingly, "Okay, okay, mommy will buy it for you. Big brother, how much is this leg of lamb?"
"Okay, this is the last one. I'll give it to you at a lower price..." The sheep seller quickly weighed Cai's sheep and calculated the money.
Dabao suddenly asked, "Uncle, this live sheep is a ewe, right? It looks like it is still producing milk, why are you selling it?"
The shepherd sighed, "It's because we need money urgently. The cub was taken away by a wolf in the mountains just a few days after it was born. Then something happened at home and we needed money urgently, so we took it out to sell. Do you want it? If you have a newborn baby with little milk, you can take it back to feed it. It's also good. When it's weaned, you can kill it and eat it. One sheep can do several things..."
At this point, Xiao Yuanbao interjected, "We have newborn puppies at home. Can we feed them with goat milk?"
"Of course you can! If you can feed a human cub, you can definitely feed a puppy too."
"Mother, mother! Buy, buy, buy!"
Cai considered it a luxury to buy a leg of lamb.
Now buy a whole sheep, a dairy goat!
She subconsciously looked at Dabao. Her eldest son was calm and independent, and was the pillar of the family.
Dabao thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy it, Mom. Little White Hair is too young. It's not a good idea to feed him rice porridge. He has a higher survival rate if he is fed with milk. Also, if Little White Hair can't finish the food, you can give his sister some goat milk. His sister is young, so drinking milk is good for her health."
"Okay, big brother, give us a discount on this dairy goat, we'll take it."
Little Yuanbao also said sweetly, "Thank you, big brother, thank you, mother."
The sheep seller was delighted. "Okay! Thank you for your patronage. This is our last business. I will definitely give you the best price."
Oh, he was right.
It is true that this little girl has a high status in the family. As soon as she asks for something, her mother and her elder brother will buy it for her.
Judging from the way this family is dressed, they don’t look like rich people.
Only those who truly love her will buy it.
This little girl is so lucky!
