Although they were quite kind to the Lin clan, she was certain that if Shushu cut her hair short, those old guys would definitely cause trouble. After all, Shushu meant not just a little bit short, but very short.
"I was just saying, I wouldn't dare do that. Although my hair is long, it's still in good condition. It's down to my waist and there aren't any split ends. I'm almost forty years old and I still have so much hair."
Of course, that's why their hair became so good after they came to this body. Before they came, their hair was like dry grass, always sticking up, so no one could tell.
After their hair dried, the two went back to sleep. The next day, they got up when they heard the village bell. It was still morning, and the sky was just beginning to brighten. It was breakfast time. After washing up, they went to the canteen.
The people in front were already getting porridge and steamed buns. Those who wanted eggs could take them themselves. They didn't go into the canteen to eat, but instead found a place outside to squat down and start eating.
An Shuyi and Xia Hua did the same. They took a bowl, filled it halfway with porridge, and took an egg. However, the steamed buns were too big, so the two of them only took one. When eating, they each took half.
After they finished eating, everyone went to work in the workshop. Lin Changwu also led his men to Jinnan City to buy meat and grain, but before they left, An Shuyi stopped them, saying, "Changwu, when you come back later, go to that house in Jinnan City to get the things."
Lin Changwu asked, "Sister-in-law, how many oxcarts do we need?" His two sisters-in-law always buy a lot of things, so this time they must be buying a lot as well. If they don't use many oxcarts, they might have to make several trips.
"Let's use all the oxcarts and haul it all at once. We've almost used up everything the workshop needs, so we need to replenish it. We also need to buy some boxes and jars." At this point, An Shuyi realized that they might not be able to haul it all at once.
"Okay, sister-in-law, let's go buy meat and grain first, and then we'll go get them when we get back."
"Go ahead, be careful." After saying that, he turned to look at the third brother who was still eating. "Third brother, when we go to Jinnan City later, you should also go and have a look. You won't have many opportunities to come out from the military camp in the future."
"Here are two hundred taels of silver. You can each take one hundred taels and buy whatever you want, but you are not allowed to gamble, understand?"
The third son ran over, took the silver from her hand, and said with a grin, "Mother, don't worry, your son won't gamble. Thank you for the silver, Mother. I'll prepare the carriage now." After saying that, he shoveled the porridge in the bowl into his mouth, put the bowl down, and went to prepare the carriage.
"Mother, will you bring Sixth Brother back today?" Xiao Qi asked from the side. She remembered that today was the day Sixth Brother was coming back.
An Shuyi shook her head and explained, "Your sixth brother won't get out of school until evening. I won't stay that late. I'll have someone else pick him up. Does Huahua miss your sixth brother?"
She had been worried that Huahua might be scared if she stayed alone in the courtyard, but she wasn't. Instead, she was very happy, which put her mind at ease.
Xiaoqi nodded, "Huahua hasn't seen Sixth Brother for several days, and Sixth Brother said that he would bring me candied hawthorns when he comes back next time, so that's why I asked."
“Huahua, you can tell your mother what you want to eat. You don’t have to wait for your sixth brother to buy it. Your mother used to go to Jinnan City every day. Why didn’t you say so?”
"Huahua didn't really want to eat it, but Sixth Brother wanted to buy it for me, so Huahua remembered." She didn't want to eat candied hawthorns, but every time Sixth Brother went out, he would say he would bring something back for her, so she remembered.
Upon hearing this, An Shuyi realized that he didn't want to eat. "Then you wait. Your sixth brother will be back tonight. Mother is going to Jinnan City now. Is there anything you need Mother to buy?"
"No, Huahua doesn't want to buy anything. Mother, be careful and come back soon. I'm going to the workshop."
"Alright, go ahead!" Seeing the third and fourth brothers driving the horse-drawn cart with a big ox behind them, he figured the third brother had told him he was going to the county town, so he decided to go with them.
It's good to have more people, since they still need to buy things and need people to carry them. So An Shuyi and Xia Hua got on the carriage and set off. When they arrived in Jinnan City, the streets were full of vendors. Instead of sitting in the carriage, the two got off and walked on the street.
Looking at what they needed, they bought it and put it into the carriage. Various sizes of boxes, bamboo baskets, and large baskets quickly filled the carriage, not only inside but also tied to the back.
Then they went to the shop where they had ordered the jars before and bought many more jars. However, this time they ordered a batch of jars for storing wine, which were wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. They made a lot of them and they were also very exquisite.
After all, women are visual creatures. Seeing something beautiful can stimulate their desire to buy. These jars are pretty, and they're filled with various fruit wines. It's a pity they're not transparent, otherwise even more people would buy them. I heard from the boss that the owner of the restaurant bought several jars yesterday, saying he'd try them out first.
Not many people came to the village to buy it. Although they thought the wine was good, there was too much of it. Each jar weighed more than ten kilograms, so she thought she would order a batch of smaller jars, which might attract more buyers.
It's a pity that there are too many businesses and too few people in the village now, otherwise they could make their own pots and jars and wouldn't need to buy them anymore. But that's just wishful thinking, since even the children in the village are busy these days.
As for finding people to work in the village, forget it. Let them build houses, and make sure Village Chief Lin keeps a close eye on them and doesn't let them wander around. If we put them in the workshop, we'd have to send someone to watch them every day.
After driving the carriage into the house and unloading the horses, An Shuyi watched as the three of them tied the horses to a tree. She then said, "Sanwa, go and wander around. Buy whatever you want, just come back in an hour."
The third son nodded, "Mother, then we're leaving." Seeing his mother nod, the three of them walked away into the distance.
Xia Hua closed the door and took out many bamboo baskets from the carriage. The two of them went into the side room to put their things away. An Shuyi was in charge of buying the things and then taking them out. They took a lot of each kind of chicken, duck, goose, and pork.
Next came the fabrics; she took out more than ten bolts of each color. She packed the fruit into sacks and took out dozens of sacks. She also took out 20,000 catties of grain and 10,000 catties of flour. After taking everything out, she only had 3,700 taels of silver left in her trading system.
They spent over 800 taels of silver directly, bringing out so many items that the room was completely filled. If they had bought these outside, they would probably have needed several thousand taels. However, since they brought them out this time, they would have to wait until the next time the items came down from the mountain. By then, the trading system would definitely have a lot more items available for purchase.
Seeing that there was nothing to take, the two prepared to wait outside. But before they could go out, they heard a knock on the door. It seemed that Changwu and the others had arrived. They had just checked the time and realized that it had taken them more than half an hour to put their things away.
