Chapter 51

Chapter 51 The price is really high

Yan Xiaosi helped Zhong and the others to load the firewood that had been cut and bundled yesterday into the bullock cart. Yan Shuyun's foot injury was not healed yet, so she watched them load the cart.

She was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, and the little yellow flower embroidered on the frayed trouser legs was especially eye-catching.

Yan Xiaosi and Zhong Shi loaded all the firewood into the bullock cart, and then they thought about the Atractylodes macrocephala and the flowered dog skin they dug on the Phoenix Mountain.

"Mother, sisters, wait a minute."

She turned around and went into the house, stuffed the flowered dog skin into the basket containing Atractylodes macrocephala, and brought it out together.

Seeing the flowered dog skin in the bamboo basket, the Zhong mother and daughter suddenly became nervous.

Yan Shuqin asked softly: "Xiao Si, do you really want to take this flower dog to the town to sell, in case someone from the Liu family sees it?"

Yan Xiaosi handed the bamboo basket to Yan Shuqin who was sitting in the car, and climbed into the car while answering her.

"Sister, it's dangerous to keep this piece of dog skin at home. Instead of leaving it at home and worrying about it all day, it's better to sell it in the town to save worry."

Yan Shuqin stopped talking, and covered the bamboo basket with a bundle of firewood.

Yan Xiaosi climbed into the car, sat down next to Yan Shuyun, saw the little yellow flowers on her trouser legs, and said, "Third sister, do you really like embroidery?"

When it comes to embroidery, Yan Shuyun's eyes are full of longing.

"How can you not like it? Girls like embroidery."

Yan Xiaosi caught the longing look on her face, and said, "Third sister, you like embroidery so much, go to town today, and I'll buy you some needlework."

Yan Shuyun just smiled happily, and didn't take Yan Xiaosi's words to heart. She only thought that Yan Xiaosi was talking to make her happy. Their family of five was so poor that it was a problem to eat. Where could they have spare money? Get those things.

Mrs. Zhong drove the cart, and the bullock cart jolted away from the Pocao Temple, followed the dirt road in the village, and headed towards the entrance of the village.

The old scalper pulling the cart didn't look very strong, but fortunately, the Yan's family of three and five members were all skinny, otherwise, the old scalper of the Tian family would really not be able to pull the cart of people and the firewood.

Yan Xiaosi was sitting on the cart with a bundle of firewood leaning on his back, his body swayed along with the cart, but he felt comfortable shaking, so he dozed off in a daze. They drove their family of five to Daxing Town.

"Fourth brother, don't sleep, we're in Daxing Town."

Yan Shuyun touched Yan Xiaosi's arm, reminding her excitedly.

Yan Xiaosi rubbed her eyes and looked at Yan Shuyun sleepily, seeing her looking around with an excited expression on her face.

"Fourth brother, this town is really lively today."

Yan Shuyun excitedly grabbed Yan Xiaosi's arm with her left hand, and pointed her right hand at the small stall selling embroidered silks beside the street, "Fourth brother, look, those embroidered silks are so beautiful."

Yan Xiaosi turned her eyes and found that not only Yan Shuyun was looking at the embroidered silks on the stalls with envy, but even Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue were also envious.

When the bullock cart passed those small stalls, Zhong shook the leading rope in his hand to let the bullock cart run faster, and the bullock cart quickly left those small stalls behind, so Zhong pulled the rope in his hand , let the bullock cart slow down.

"Don't look at those things, those things are used by rich ladies."

The children of poor families could not afford it. Zhong felt very guilty about her daughters, her tone of voice was a little choked up, and she didn't say the last sentence.

"Mother, don't be sad, Yun'er was wrong, Yun'er shouldn't have looked at those things."

As soon as Zhong's tone changed, Yan Shuyun quickly put away the envy on her face, turned her eyes back, and sat beside Yan Xiaosi with her head down, her eyes were a little red.

Yan Shuqin and Yan Shuxue also looked back, and the two sisters sat in the carriage in silence.

Yan Xiaosi looked at his mother and three older sisters beside him, feeling a little distressed.

"Mother, sisters, go sell firewood, I'll get off here."

Zhong stopped the ox cart, turned to ask Yan Xiaosi: "There is still a distance from the place where firewood is sold, Xiaosi, what are you doing here?"

Yan Xiaosi stretched his legs and jumped off the bullock cart, "Brother Long's robe is torn, isn't it? I promise him that I will buy him one at the market today."

After being washed by Yan Xiaosi, Long Hao's black robe was left to dry in front of the window of Long Hao's sleeping room. Mrs. Zhong saw that the robe was indeed a bit torn, and there were blood stains that could not be washed cleanly. It is inevitable that people will be misunderstood if they wear out their clothes.

Mrs. Zhong nodded approvingly: "Young Master Long gave us so much money, we should buy him new clothes, Xiao Si, you go, remember not to be playful, after buying clothes for Young Master Long, go to the firewood market to find us .”

There are so many people in the town today, Mrs. Zhong is afraid that Yan Xiaosi will be playful and get lost.

Yan Xiaosi made a promise, and after seeing Zhong's driving the ox cart away, he walked towards the tailor shop.

Originally, there were clothes and ornaments left by the former owner Yan Nanfeng in the space. Yan Xiaosi could take one of the right size and bring it to Long Hao directly, but Yan Nanfeng traveled to this continent hundreds of years ago. At that time, The Great Chu Dynasty has not yet been established, so the styles of Yan Nanfeng's clothes are different from the clothes that are popular in Great Chu today. On that day, Rong Di's spies went to Shaoyao Village to search, and Yan Xiaosi found a set with great difficulty. The rough linen clothes that are almost the same as Da Chu's clothes, if you go to the space to get a set of clothes for Long Hao to wear, it will inevitably arouse Long Hao's suspicion.

After about a cup of tea, Yan Xiaosi came out of the tailor shop.

Holding a bundle in her hand, she stood at the door of the tailor shop and sighed softly.

I just bought one of the most common silk clothes for Long Hao. I didn't expect that the 20 taels of silver that Long Hao gave her would cost five taels. The prices in Daxing Town, Xize County are really high. No wonder, Xize County It is located in the Western Wasteland of the Great Chu Dynasty, next to Rongdi, and there are constant wars every year. There are very few merchants who come here to do business. Cloth, ready-made clothes, and medicinal materials are naturally more expensive than other places.

After leaving the clothing store, she walked towards Chaishi to meet Zhong and Yan Shuqin. When she passed the previous stalls selling embroidered silk and bead jewelry, she remembered that the three sisters Yan Shuqin were staring at those Embroidered silk and pearl jewellery, all with salivating expressions, stopped in front of a stall.

"Brother, are you going to buy pearl flowers for your sweetheart?"

As soon as Yan Xiaosi stopped, the stall owner looked at her with a smile on his face.

"Boss, how much does a bead like this cost?"

Yan Xiaosi glanced at one of the big red bead flowers on the stall, it was quite beautiful, so she picked it up and asked the stall owner.

The stall owner answered her question with more enthusiasm.

"Young master, you really have a good eye. The style of this bead flower is the most popular nowadays, and it costs one tael of silver. You buy this kind of bead flower as a gift for a girl, and keeping it will win the girl's favor."

After hearing what the stall owner said, Yan Xiaosi frowned slightly.

Although the bead flowers are beautiful, the price is not very beautiful. She bought one of these bead flowers for each of the three sisters for three liang of silver.

"Boss, I sincerely want to buy your bead flowers, but the price is a bit expensive, can you give me some discounts?"

In her previous life, she was a military doctor with a high salary and no worries about food and clothing. Bargaining was not her strong point, but now that she had cysts, she had no choice but to try to bargain with the stall owner.
