Chapter Fourteen: Shopping!

Yi Mingxue returned the stall to the boss and paid three times the rent as promised.

As for the extra 20% profit, the boss only took the money from selling the wolf meat; he didn't want the last 10% that Liu Yuanwai gave him.

His wife was so angry that she stamped her feet aside.

Seeing his persistence, Yi Mingxue stopped forcing him.

He put on his empty basket and a few diced radish and got up to say goodbye.

As soon as she walked away, the owner of the grocery store was grabbed by his ears by his wife.

"You idiot, that's only two taels of silver! You may not be able to earn two taels of silver even if you set up a stall for two months!"

The boss was so angry that half of his face turned red, but he still insisted, "But we have already taken enough, and we can no longer take advantage of other girls."

The landlady was not only distressed, but also very jealous.

"Look at her calculating appearance, is she an ordinary little girl? I think you just can't show off your face, and you still think you are the young master of Chunyun Tower?"

"Oh my god! My life is really miserable! I thought I was marrying into your family to enjoy the blessings, but in the end, despite the fact that my family is in ruins, the man is still a loser!"

"..."

Yi Mingxue mourned for her boss in her heart, but she pulled her younger siblings and ran very fast.

The four of them found a remote bluestone slab and began to count their harvest today.

Half of the wolf meat weighed forty kilograms, and the shaved lean meat weighed twenty-three kilograms. When all was sold, a total of forty-four yuan was obtained.

After giving ten yuan to the stall owner, I ended up with thirty-four yuan left. I actually made two yuan more than selling raw wolf meat directly.

Not to mention that there was a rich man who spent ten taels of gold directly. If this were the case for an ordinary family, they would not have to worry about food and drink for a year.

Yi Tianlei now admires Yi Mingxue so much that the emotions of a child are written on his face.

Their family is rich! From now on, they no longer have to be looked down upon by the villagers!

The young man sighed sincerely, "Sister, you are so awesome!"

Even Yi Qingqing nodded heavily, even showing a bit of envy.

"Yes... eldest sister... so amazing..." It would be great if one day I could be as powerful as eldest sister!

Yi Baoer didn't understand this. He was attracted by a bamboo windmill seller on the street. He clapped his little hands and said excitedly, "Windmills, Baoer's favorite windmills!"

Yi Mingxue smiled and touched the heads of her younger brothers and sisters, then waved her hand and said cheerfully.

"We have money now, let's go! Let's go shopping!"

“Great, let’s go shopping!”

The little ones were so happy that they imitated Yi Mingxue and said cheerfully.

Yi Mingxue took the lead in going to the market and bought some new daily utensils for her home; then she added a lot of fresh food and condiments.

Finally, we arrived at the only ready-made clothing store in Fengyun Town.

She first bought two winter cotton-padded clothes for each of the children, but she had difficulty choosing clothes for herself.

The ready-made clothing shops in this town mainly supply goods to the families of wealthy people with substantial financial resources.

Not to mention that the gaudy colors are not in line with Yi Mingxue's aesthetics; the design of the wide robe with open sleeves and long skirt that touches the floor is not suitable for people who work in the countryside.

Yi Mingxue had a headache, but she was not a female celebrity at all.

Unexpectedly, Yi Qingqing also had similar troubles to her.

After a long while, she summoned up the courage to walk to Yi Mingxue and said cautiously.

"Sister...sister, can I pull the cloth home and make it myself..."

Yi Mingxue lowered her voice, "You don't think it looks good too, right?"

Yi Qingqing's pretty little face blushed, she...she didn't dare to say...after all, these are the styles that only rich people can wear!

The shopkeeper on the side heard the conversation between the two and was a little unhappy.

But even though Yi Mingxue and the others looked downcast and didn't want to take action, they were quite generous.

So she suppressed her displeasure and suggested, "If you want to make it yourself, you can take a look at these fine fabrics."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yi Qingqing saw the pile of fabrics, he couldn't move his eyes away.

Seeing this, Yi Mingxue simply sat aside to rest and left the matter of picking the fabric to her.

"You can take your pick, whichever one you like!"

Yi Qingqing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she even started to plan on her own.

"This one is bright in color and can be used as a jacket for the third sister... This one is calm and resistant to dirt... It is just right for the fourth and fifth brothers to play short games! This half horse is festive... Bao'er will definitely be very cute when he wears it...

"

"The colors of these two horses match just right, and they can modify the figure of the eldest sister..."

"puff……"

Yi Mingxue heard it from the side and splashed a mouthful of tea on the spot.

He even thought about losing weight for her, this Yi Laoer is also a talent!

Half an hour later, four people walked out of the clothing store with large and small bags.

Considering that it was freezing cold today, Yi Mingxue simply asked everyone to put on new clothes.

The clean fabric also exudes the scent of fresh cotton inside the jacket, filling the entire layer.

Wearing it on the body, the cold wind in winter will be completely blocked outside.

Yi gently looked at her blue cloth and white flower jacket winter skirt that didn't reach her wrists and fit just right.

I couldn't hold it back for a moment and shed a tear:

"Sister...thank you..."

Yi Mingxue wiped away her tears, took out a carved pine box from behind and handed it to her.

"Stop crying, look what is this?"

Yi opened it gently and saw that it was a box of needlework!

Inside are not only shuttles, scissors, and thimbles, but also dozens of embroidery needles of various sizes and thicknesses.

The most important thing is that there are two rows of colorful silk threads.

Yi Qingqing was pleasantly surprised, "Sister...is this?"

Yi Mingxue grinned, "Since you entered this clothing store, you have already bought the shopkeeper's sewing box no less than five times. Therefore, when I was just paying the bill, I asked her to buy it."

The shop owner was still reluctant to part with her, but later Yi Mingxue ordered a batch of fresh cotton from her, and the other party agreed.

Yi Tianlei couldn't help but wonder, "Why do we buy so much cotton?"

Yi Mingxue put things into the backpack. In fact, she had already put all the items that were difficult to carry into the space with the help of the white cloth outside.

She poked the fourth child's little head and replied, "Of course I want to make you some new quilts!"

Having almost bought all the things they wanted to buy, the four siblings were ready to go back home.

Yi Mingxue walked around the town calmly.

Unfortunately, I still haven’t seen anyone selling cattle or horses.

But she is not discouraged!

After all, these days, most people don't even have enough to eat, so how can anyone buy those livestock?

It's inconvenient to carry a few diced radish with me today. Let's wait until she delivers the wolf meat for Yuan Liu tomorrow and then go to the surrounding villages and towns.

As soon as a few people walked onto the dry arch bridge at the entrance of the town, they heard a somewhat familiar voice coming from behind.

"Sister Mingxue! Are you also here for the market?"
