Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs
Chapter 7 Buy Buy Buy
The sun was shining, and the scorching sun was falling, Xia Bai'an looked at the words "Qingshan Town" in front of him, and almost cried with joy.
Qingshan Town is a big town, the clean and simple streets are crowded with people, and there are antique stalls and shops on both sides, and all kinds of cries are endless.
In modern times, Xia Bai'an has been to the market and the ancient street, but none of them are as authentic as before.
She sat down at a wonton stand, ate a bowl of wontons, bought two big meat buns, and went to the grain store while eating.
"Girl, what do you want?"
There are several large wooden buckets in the grain store, and the japonica rice, brown rice, white flour, etc. are packed separately.
Xia Bai'an had money in his hand, so naturally he would not wrong himself. After asking the price, he waved his hand, "Give me fifty catties of japonica rice and twenty catties of white flour."
"Okay, wait a minute." The clerk heard that this was a big customer, and happily found a cloth bag for her to pack the rice noodles in.
You must know that when others come to buy, they usually bring their own cloth bags.
Xia Bai'an stretched her hand into the wide sleeve robe, and with a thought, a piece of silver appeared in her hand.
That's right, she directly put the gold and silver returned by Xia Yuan and An's in the space, one is for safety, but she is used to putting important things in the space.
At home, Mo Xue was rummaging through Xia Bai'an's room, while Mo Yu was watching the wind at the door.
"Sister, did you find it?"
"No, she doesn't know where she hid the money."
Mo Xuejiao's pretty face was slightly wrinkled, she didn't believe that bad woman would buy medicine for her father, she could only feel at ease if she held the money in her own hands.
"Ah? Then what should I do?" Mo Yu was troubled, and she was a little scared. If the stepmother came back later and found that they had entered her house, she would definitely be angry.
Thinking of that twisted and terrifying face, Mo Yu shuddered in fear.
At this time, Xia Bai'an was very active in shopping.
With salt in her left hand and pastry in her right, she turned around and went into the cloth shop again.
Everyone in the village wears linen, but Xia Bai'an doesn't like it. She buys fine cotton cloth, which is soft to the touch and very comfortable.
After paying the bill, Xia Bai'an glanced casually, and suddenly saw a piece of azure fabric with dark patterns on the top of the shelf, which was very beautiful.
If it can be worn on Mo Che's body, it must be a gentleman like a jade and a man like a painting, very beautiful.
"Shopkeeper, please show me that piece of cloth."
"Girl, you have good eyesight!" The shopkeeper with a mustache looked happy. The piece of cloth is not cheap. It has been stored for a long time. Many people have asked about it, but they all think it is expensive.
"This piece of cloth is dyed with authentic cloud satin. Only one of the three pieces of cloud satin has been successfully dyed. Girl, look at the color, the pattern..."
Xia Bai'an couldn't hear others whispering in her ear, "Okay, don't talk about it, just talk about how much it is."
"Five or two."
Two taels of silver can make an ordinary family live for a year, but a piece of cloth costs five taels of silver, which is really expensive.
However, Xia Bai'an did not hesitate, "Okay, wrap it up for me."
Is the money spent on her man called money? No!
"Wait! This cloth girl wants it!" Suddenly, a clear and beautiful voice sounded arrogantly.
Xia Bai'an looked at the person displeased, he didn't look very old, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he was wearing a goose yellow skirt, and his small and fair face was full of arrogance.
The shopkeeper was very embarrassed, "Miss Zhang, I'm really sorry, this girl has already asked for this piece of cloth."
"So what, I'm giving you ten taels!" Zhang Qianqian raised her chin, looking at Xia Bai'an with obvious hostility and mockery.
"Shopkeeper, I'm here to help you. The girl you mentioned is named Xia, and her family has already gone bankrupt. I heard that she married a sick child, and her family is very poor. She doesn't even have money for medicine."
"Tell me, where did she get the money to buy such expensive cloth? I'm afraid she's not trying to deceive you."
"No way..." The shopkeeper looked at Xia Bai'an with suspicion in his eyes.
Xia Bai'an suddenly realized that it seemed that Miss Zhang knew Yuan Bo, and the two had old enemies.
She smiled slightly, took out the silver and slapped it on the counter, "Although the family is poor, there is still some money."
Two small silver ingots, exactly ten taels.
Zhang Qianqian was not convinced, "Wait a minute, I will offer 15 taels, and the higher bidder will get it, so the item should be mine. If you are capable, you can increase the price too."
"Okay, I'll pay 20 taels."
"I pay 25."
Xia Bai'an: "Thirty."
"35!"
Without blinking, Xia Bai'an glanced at the money bag on her waist, and counted, "I'll give you fifty! You can't even get it out."
Zhang Qianqian was a little hesitant at first, but when she went out today, she only brought 60 taels, which was already all her pocket money.
But when she heard the last sentence, a wave of anger rushed to her forehead, and she threw all the money on the counter, "I will pay 60 taels!"
The shopkeeper watched the competition between the two dumbfounded, not knowing how to persuade them.
Xia Bai'an's voice was flat, "Okay, the fabric is yours."
Then he grabbed the 60 taels into his hand.
"Shopkeeper, I bought the piece of cloth with you first, and you agreed, so the cloth should belong to me. Now, I will resell the cloth to this lady, do you have any objection?"
The shopkeeper didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he was a man of integrity, so naturally he had no objection, and only accepted the agreed five liang of silver.
On the other hand, Zhang Qianqian saw that his money went into Xia Bai'an's pocket, and his face turned blue and purple with anger.
The money spent was earned back, and Xia Bai'an was in a good mood, so he asked the shopkeeper to bring her the white horse with dark stripes next to it.
The fabric is the same, just a different color.
When giving the money, he deliberately turned his head to look at the person next to him, "Do you want this piece of cloth?"
"No!" Zhang Qianqian gritted her teeth and almost fainted in anger.
The things in his hand were almost too heavy, but Xia Bai'an still wanted to buy some pork, so he simply found a donkey cart.
When they returned to the village, this donkey cart full of things naturally attracted everyone's attention.
At first, he thought that some outsider had come, but when he saw it, hey, it was Xia Bai'an.
"Buying so many, I don't know how much it cost, it's really a prodigal."
"Hmph, I don't know where the money came from, so don't get it wrong."
Some aunts who knew about it sighed: "Poor boy from the Mo family, married to such a prodigal son, I don't know what else was sold by her."
After hearing these words, Xia Bai'an forgot about them. People in the village had already formed a prejudice against her, and it was normal that it would not change for a while.
At the door of the house, Xia Baian shouted inside: "Mo Xue Mo Yu, come out and get something."
The two cubs were still missing, but the aunt next door came out first.
Looking at Xia Bai'an with a face of disapproval, he hesitated to speak, and said several times with his lips muttering: "Big sister, you didn't spend the money like this."
Qingshan Town is a big town, the clean and simple streets are crowded with people, and there are antique stalls and shops on both sides, and all kinds of cries are endless.
