She wanted to buy everything at once so that the workshop wouldn't lack supplies, and she and Huahua wouldn't have to worry about anything and could go out and play. If she hadn't been injured, they might still be on the mountain.
Xia Hua thought for a while, "Go ahead and buy them. Just buy five, don't buy too many, otherwise it will be troublesome to take them back. Pigs are not like horses and sheep, which can be tied up with ropes and pulled along."
An Shuyi nodded and bought five fat pigs from the trading system. With so many things, the two of them couldn't go anywhere and could only stay here. Soon, Lin Changwu and the others arrived in an oxcart.
Xia Hua looked at the cattle and said, "When we get back, we'll have Mu Tou arrange for a row of houses to be built at the foot of the mountain to house the horses and cattle. We'll also get some pigs to keep, not for raising, but to keep them in captivity for a few years so they can be slaughtered easily."
"Next to the side room, we'll build another dining hall, divided into several rooms. It can be used to entertain guests or for people to rest. I heard from Mu Tou that quite a few people have asked if they can eat in the village, but I told Mu Tou to refuse. There aren't enough people in the village. This way is fine for now."
Apart from the very young children, everyone in the village was busy and had something to do. She was thinking about whether to buy some more people, but then she decided it wasn't necessary and would wait until later.
Hearing what she said, An Shuyi thought it was feasible. These things only needed to be arranged for Village Chief Lin, and they didn't need to worry about them. "We can have Mu Tou arrange these things when we get back. Should we take advantage of this time to go to the capital for a trip? Besides wanting to buy a house and a restaurant, I also want to see the female lead. She has already reached that point."
The female protagonist of this world... I wonder if meeting her is due to their superior abilities or the female protagonist's halo. Just thinking about it is exciting.
"Sister-in-law, are you going to the capital?" Before Xia Hua could speak, a distant voice came from beside her.
He didn't overhear on purpose; he had just arrived and heard the words "capital city," so he guessed that his two sisters-in-law were going out again and asked.
Xia Hua turned her head and glared at him. "Don't ask such nonsense. What, if we go to the capital, are you going too?"
Lin Changyuan shook his head, "No, sister-in-law, don't misunderstand. I just heard Sister An mention the capital and thought you were going. If you are going, I can drive the carriage for you two."
An Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief when she realized he hadn't heard what he said after that. She thought to herself, with such a soft voice, how could anyone hear it from a distance? He probably only heard the beginning and didn't hear the end at all.
"Hurry up and go inside to move your things. We're going, so you don't need to drive the carriage. Instead of staying in the village to earn money, you're always thinking about running around."
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll go in and move my things." Lin Changyuan went in to move his things, but he couldn't help but grumble to himself. It was clearly his two sisters-in-law who were always running around, but now it was him who wanted to run around. His sisters-in-law were being unreasonable.
He told the other kids who were watching the commotion to hurry up and move their things instead of just watching.
"Changwu, Wenhao, take these two horses and go buy two carriages. We'll use them to transport things. There's too much stuff, so if we can't haul it all in one trip, we'll split it into two trips," An Shuyi instructed, calling the men over.
She and Huahua still had to go shopping, so the shopping for the carriage would naturally be left to others.
"Okay, sister-in-law, we'll go right now," Lin Changwu said, bringing Wenhao over.
An Shuyi nodded, "Here's the money. Your sister-in-law Xia and I are going to buy some things. We'll be back soon. Changyuan, after you've moved everything, if there's still too much left, take some back first, then come back for another trip. Just leave someone here to watch over things."
Lin Changyuan nodded, "Sister-in-law, you go ahead, I'll make the arrangements." After all this time, they know best how to get the things back.
Every time the two sisters-in-law buy too much stuff, they have to think about how to tie it up and how to take it back. Over time, they've become quite skilled at tying things up. However, they still have some trouble with the sheep and pigs in the yard.
Seeing that they could handle it, An Shuyi and her partner went shopping. They bought a lot of snacks and candied fruits. These ancient snacks were delicious. Every time they came to Jinnan City, they would buy some and store them in the warehouse so that they could easily take them out when they wanted to eat them.
After buying the food, they'll go buy jewelry. Last time they bought some headwear, and this time they want to buy some nicer pieces.
As soon as the two entered the jewelry shop, the owner greeted them warmly, "Welcome, ladies! We heard magpies chirping this morning. It turns out you two are here to grace us with your presence. May I ask what you would like to buy today?"
Although the two ladies had only bought jewelry from him twice before, this was the third time. But the previous two times, they bought quite a lot of things, and he made a lot of money. Such generous and easy-going customers are rare.
Xia Hua nodded, "We want to look at some jade ornaments today. We want to bring out some nice bracelets, the best ones, as well as jade hairpins, and some skirt pendants as well."
Now that she has plenty of money, she naturally wants the best. It is said that people nurture jade and jade nurtures people. Although she doesn't know if it's true or not, she also wants to buy a pair of bracelets for Shushu to wear. Of course, she also needs to have one for herself.
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper knew that the two ladies were not short of money this time, so he told them to take whatever they could. Thinking of his shop's prized possessions, he squatted down and pulled out several exquisite boxes from underneath, then placed them on the counter.
He opened one of the boxes and said, "Ladies, take a look. This is the prized possession of my shop: a red jade bracelet, a pair of purple ones, and a pair of green ones." He then opened the two boxes next to it.
"This bracelet is so rare that you might not even find it in the capital, let alone Jinnan City. I bought it in the border region more than two years ago. I originally wanted to sell it for a good price, but in Jinnan City, those who know its value can't afford it, and those who can afford it don't know its value."
"I've had this here for the past two years. Ladies, take a look and see if you like it. This box also contains something I bought in the border region, but it's just a piece of jade, uncarved. If you don't like this bracelet, you can sell the jade and have a craftsman carve it for you." After saying this, the shopkeeper glanced cautiously outside the shop.
When the shopkeeper opened the box, An Shuyi saw the pair of red jade bracelets and immediately liked them. Red was her favorite color, and even though she was already thirty-eight, she would still want to wear red if it weren't for the fact that red was so festive.
Xia Hua naturally saw the pair of red bracelets as well. She took them out to examine them. They were not cracked, had good quality, and were red. This red was not a deep red, but rather a translucent red, which was very beautiful. Most importantly, they were a pair, which showed how rare they were.
She didn't doubt that it was a fake, after all, there was no technology in ancient times to use glass instead of jade, so this must be blood jade. "Shushu, stretch out your hand."
An Shuyi raised her hand and placed it in front of her. Xia Hua slipped the bracelet onto her wrist. Her hands still needed more care, as they were a bit rough. After putting both bracelets on her wrist, she nodded and said, "They look very nice!"
The shopkeeper saw the lady put the bracelet on her wrist but did not stop her. He could tell that the lady liked it very much, and that speaking up at this time would only spoil her enjoyment.
