"Well! That's great. You look a bit like elementary school students now. I'll send you to school in a few days. But you have to behave well, understand!"
Lin Pingan nodded and grinned happily: "We will definitely be obedient, Aunt Lin is so nice!"
"Yes, yes, sister is the best!"
Lin Wanwan reached out her hand and tapped them both, saying with a smile, “Two little flatterers!”
Lin Wanwan pointed at a plain horse and asked, "How much is this plain horse?"
The young man looked at the material and said, "This material is a style from two years ago. The price has dropped a lot. Now it only costs one or two or three cents."
"Okay, I want five. Can you help me calculate the total amount of silver?"
"Okay! Five pieces of cotton weigh ten taels, five pieces of silk and linen weigh four taels, five pieces of plain forging weigh six taels and five cents, three sets of ready-made clothes weigh six taels, and children's clothes weigh one tael and three cents. The total is twenty-seven taels and eight cents. The shopkeeper won't charge you any change. The total is twenty-seven taels."
Lin Wanwan paid him the money readily.
"Thank you very much, little brother. Thank Manager Zhou for me!"
"Miss Lin, you are too polite. Take care~"
As soon as she went out, Lin Wanwan was hit twice and scolded by Li Yuying.
"Look at you! Why are you such a spendthrift? Huh? You spent more than twenty taels of silver to buy a pile of clothes. I wouldn't say anything to you even if you bought a pig! We worked hard from dawn to dusk to earn the money, but you spent more than twenty taels of silver in the blink of an eye..."
The three of them stood there obediently and took the scolding. Only after Li Yuying finished scolding and her anger subsided did Lin Wanwan approach her hesitantly and try to coax her.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I know I bought too much, but we have to dress well when we go out to do business. People say that we should respect our clothes first and then respect people. After we open a shop, we will have to hire employees, so we have to prepare a few more sets of clothes. Isn't that right?"
"But you can't spend so much..."
"It's not much, sister-in-law, take two pieces of cotton cloth back and keep them for winter clothes. Use the silk and linen cloth to make a few sets for daily wear. My brother and I are growing up, and there are not many clothes we can wear. And I want to keep the plain cloth to make bedding!"
Li Yuying listened and calmed down. "Okay, but it's also true that you haven't had many new clothes in the past few years. Some of these clothes are my old clothes that I made smaller for you. You're older now, so I'll make you some new underwear later."
"Hehe." Lin Wanwan shook her arm, "I know my sister-in-law is the best! By the way, sister-in-law, this place is very close to the store, shall I take you to the store to have a look?"
Li Yuying became interested when she heard this. "Okay, which way are we going?"
Lin Wanwan drove the donkey cart to the shop, unlocked the door and opened it.
"Come on, sister-in-law, come in and take a look~"
Li Yuying walked in slowly, looking around. Ping An and Xiao Bai also opened their mouths wide unconsciously and ran around excitedly.
"Five tables can be placed on this floor. There are two private rooms upstairs. The tables, chairs and benches are almost ready. The only things left to buy are the kitchen items. It will be in time to buy them in two days. There is a well, a woodshed and a rest room in the backyard."
Li Yuying was so shocked that she didn't know what to say.
"My goodness, this shop is so great. It's so big, the rent must be high, right?"
"This shop is half rented and half owned. When I save enough money, I can buy it directly."
"Oh, so good? Then you have to work hard to make money. It would be great if you could buy such a good shop!"
Lin Wanwan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. She decided not to tell her sister-in-law that she had already bought it, for fear that she would be upset again.
"So what else do we need to buy?"
Lin Wanwan thought about it and said, "The iron pot in the kitchen is still there, so there is no need to buy new ones. I just need to buy some bowls and chopsticks for daily use."
Li Yuying rolled up her sleeves, picked up a piece of cloth and prepared to work, but Lin Wanwan quickly stopped her.
“Sister-in-law, let’s go shopping first, there’s no rush to clean!”
Li Yuying pushed her away and said seriously, "We only have time today, so we should clean it up first. You go buy some things and I'll stay and clean it up."
Lin Wanwan couldn't beat her, so she had to take the two children to buy things.
She went to the grocery store and bought some oil paper, pots, cups, bowls, chopsticks, brooms and the like. When she was about to pay, she noticed a high-footed bowl behind a vase. It was light green and particularly transparent.
Lin Wanwan walked over, picked up the bowl and asked, "Boss, how much is this bowl?"
"Gao Lantern, this one is more expensive, it costs 620 coins."
"It's really not cheap. An ordinary bowl is only five coins, but this bowl costs six hundred coins. It's so expensive! Is this the only one you have?"
When the shopkeeper heard this, he took out a wooden box from the side, opened it and said, "Look, girl, there are still a lot of them. You can choose them. I will give you a discount later."
Lin Wanwan picked out three pairs of milky white, one pair of light blue and one pair of light green and placed them in front of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper saw that there were only a few left in the box, so he could only say helplessly: "Little girl, I only have four left, you can take them all, I'll give you a discount, how about eight taels?"
"How much are the ones I picked out before?"
"Let me calculate. It's five hundred and seventy cents in total."
"Boss, can you give me a discount? How about eight taels for all these? If you like, I'll take them all away!"
"Little girl, no one bargains like you. I've already given you the lowest price. How can I make any money after this?"
"Boss, this bowl is expensive. If I buy it separately, I can give you 500 coins at most."
"This bowl is really expensive. Look at its texture and color. It's so transparent! I can't find a bowl as good as this one!"
