Chapter 32

Shopping

Liu Shi heaved a sigh of relief.

“Alright, thank you, Xiao You,” she said gently.

“You’re welcome.” Xiao You turned around and took out the blank purses.

Seeing that Liu Shi did not have anything to store the purses, she turned around and took a piece of oilpaper to wrap the purses.

“Here you go.” Xiao You handed the purses to Liu Shi politely.

“Okay, thank you!” Liu Shi thanked her again.

Xiao You nodded with a smile.

“Take care, aunty.”

“Goodbye, Ms. Xiao You.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled gratefully at her. Seeing this, Xiao You smiled.

Lin Xiaoyue was finally relieved after leaving Jinxiu Pavilion.

Seeing her mother’s gloomy face, Lin Xiaoyue knew that she was still thinking about it. She held her arm and led her forward.

“Mom, leave the matter of making money to your daughter. I can earn more than 5 taels of silver a day. If I work hard, I can earn 150 taels of silver a month. When we can afford to build a house, I will definitely buy you an embroidery rack!”

Liu Shi glanced at Lin Xiaoyue and couldn’t help but poke at her forehead.

“150 taels of silver a month? Will it not rain? Will there be unlimited animals in the mountains?” Although she said that, Liu Shi let go of the matter.

She couldn’t take the big job, but she could still earn money from embroidery. In the future, if she worked harder, her family’s life would be better.

Sighing, Liu Shi finally said, “Let’s go to the grocery store.”

“Hehe, okay, mom!”

So the mother and daughter quickly went to the grocery store.

Lin Xiaoyue took out the shopping list that she had prepared last night.

Then, she took an oil lamp, two catties of oil, three plates, three large dishes, ten rice bowls, ten pairs of chopsticks, a chopping board, a ladle, two buckets, and a deep pot that could be used to boil water. She also took two wooden buckets, one large and one small, and some papers.

She wanted to continue, but she was stopped by Liu Shi.

“Can we carry so many things?” Liu Shi gave Lin Xiaoyue a look.

“Uh. Then these will do.” Lin Xiaoyue went to settle the bill.

In the end, everything cost 827 cents. Since they bought so many things, they were only charged 820 cents.

Carrying the basket on her back and the items in both hands, the mother and daughter walked out of the grocery store.

At this time, they did not have time to buy anything else. They found an alley and went through it.

Then, Lin Xiaoyue looked around to check if there was anyone around. She used her spiritual power to check again before asking Liu Shi to put the items into her interspatial ring.

They did not return to the same street as before. The mother and daughter went through the alley to another street. It was also the location of the vegetable market on the west side of the city.

This place was even livelier than the previous streets. There were all sorts of things to sell. Most of them were farmers who had come to the city to sell their goods.

“Mom, I want to buy buns!” Lin Xiaoyue saw a stall selling buns and immediately pulled on Liu Shi’s hand.

Liu Shi smiled. “Sure. Isn’t the money with you?”

She didn’t ask for her opinion just now when she bought so many things. But she asked her about buying some buns?

“Hehe, then I’ll buy more. I’ll bring some back for aunty and Xiaozhi to try,” Lin Xiaoyue said as she pulled Liu Shi to the place where the buns were sold.

“Uncle, how much for the buns?” Looking at the steaming buns, Lin Xiaoyue felt her stomach growl.

“1 cent for a plain bun, 3 cents for 2 vegetarian buns, and 2 cents for a meat bun. How many do you want, young lady?” The man who sold the buns pointed at the various types of buns and explained enthusiastically.
