Ruan Shi looked at Xiaoyu in surprise, and saw the seriousness and desire in her eyes shining, and looked at the shopkeeper's apologizing: "Shopkeeper, why don't you give me some useless rags for my daughter to practice your hands? Her hands are quite clever. Will we, mother and daughter, do you do your job well in the future?"

Someone bought this cloth to make the soles of cloth shoes, and the shopkeeper was reluctant to give it away for free: "That's not possible. Even if you sell it to you ten cents per pound, you usually buy it fifteen cents per pound!"

When Ruan thought that her family wanted to make shoes, she simply bought more. She took her two daughters to pick up three kilograms of rags and bought a few more colors of silk threads, and used a total of 75 cents of copper coins.

In this era, in addition to silver notes, the circulating unified gold and silver were all small ingots, one liang, two liang, five liang, and ten liang; there were also one qian of silver beans and copper coins, which were relatively convenient.

Ruan took her two daughters away from the embroidery shop, looked around, and said, "It's still early, let's go buy some fabric first, then buy some meat, and you can go home."

"Okay, Yuanyuan, I'll carry it for you!" Xiaoyu had something to ask them, so she cleverly took the book in Yuanyuan's hand and walked out the street together.

At this time, a panicked girl in blue dress ran past them. Ruan was walking outside and was hit by her and frowned.

Four men in blue came after him and knocked Ruan to the ground.

Yuanyuan and Xiaoyu quickly went to help her and said angrily: "They were too much and hit someone..."

Ruan Tsai grabbed Yuanyuan's hand and whispered with a calm face: "Yuanyuan, don't talk too much!"

The four men in green had already caught the girl, and many people around them were talking around them: "Why are you doing to make things difficult for the little girl?"

"That's right, let go quickly, otherwise we will report to the official!"

One of the men took out a piece of paper and said, "Her father owed us more than 30 taels of silver in the casino. This is to sell his daughter to us to pay off the debt."

The girl shouted in despair: "No, help..."

One man asked everyone to let him go, two Chinese characters grabbed the girl who was crying and shouting away, and another man followed behind.

An old woman next to me shook her head and sighed: "It's so pitiful. Gambling is really harmful. The Wu family next to my family also sold their two beautiful daughters to such shameful places because of gambling. It's really a sin!"

"The Li family's wife took advantage of her man's absence and sold the daughter left by her daughter-in-law in front of her. When the Li family came back, the wood was already dead. In addition, this gave birth to a son for him, so it was left alone."

"Hey, my mother's family also sells her daughter..."

After listening to the side, Yuanyuan felt chill all over. This morning she met the shopkeeper of the restaurant and the shop assistant, who were so kind and kind, which made her feel that there were many good people.

But what she saw and heard now made her realize that she was thinking so beautifully.

Xiaoyu also turned pale when she heard this. She only heard people in the village say this. She didn't expect it to happen in front of her. No wonder her brother said that although her second mother is not as good as her biological mother, she is also good to them.

Seeing his two daughters' bad expressions, Ruan sighed softly: "We should go buy things so that we won't be able to catch the mule cart and go home after a while."

Yuanyuan came back to her senses and looked at her caringly and asked, "Mom, do you feel pain?"

"It's okay," Ruan Tsai saw her daughter caring about her, and smiled at them: "After all, this kind of thing is a minority, don't be afraid."

The three of them went to the cloth shop to buy a few feet of ordinary green cloth and blue cloth, pulled a few feet of fine cotton cloth, spent more than three cents of silver, and then went to the market to buy meat.

Pork is not cheap now, and a pound of pork belly costs twenty cents.

Yuanyuan looked at the meat and couldn't help swallowing. She felt that the raw pork in front of her had turned into fragrant braised pork, her eyes almost shining green.

Ruan Shi looked at her thin appearance and gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, weigh me three pounds of pork belly and that piece of oil."

"Okay, sister-in-law is going to boil lard?"

The tall and strong butcher chopped a large piece of meat with a smile, tied it with a straw, picked up the scale and weighed it: "Three pounds and two pounds, five pounds and six pounds of oil, and you will count 130 cents in total."

Yuanyuan looked at the pig liver and pig intestine in the wooden basin next to her, and hope appeared in her heart again. She remembered that there was a book of the heroine who made hundreds of taels of silver based on this.

She pointed to the wooden basin and pretended to be careless, "Uncle, is this sold like this?"

"Oh, that one pound is ten cents per pound!"

The butcher sighed with a smile: "More than ten years ago, these were three or four cents a pound, and they may not be sold. Since the emperor wrote a food note, he now has no worries about selling them for ten cents a pound! Do you want it?"

Ruan Shi smiled and shook her head, paying: "No, it's too troublesome to pack up!"

Yuanyuan didn't insist, she wanted to say he wanted to the emperor, why did he do things without leaving a way out for himself?

Seeing that there was still time, Ruan took them to the grocery store and whispered: "You go in and take a look. Don't move some things. If they are broken, we can't afford to compensate."

She asked her friend for ten needles, a pound of brown sugar, a pound of white sugar, and some salt.

Yuanyuan was already confused at this time. There were large and small diamond glasses in the counter, and mercury glass mirrors embedded in the gilded silver edges, which made the person who looked at them very clearly.

Yuanyuan looked at the little girl in the mirror in surprise through the counter. Her face as big as a palm, her skin was fair, her eyebrows were a little thick, and her beautiful phoenix eyes were narrow and cold. She looked a little surprised at this time, and her pink mouth was a little dry, but overall she looked like a little beauty.

It turns out that this is what I am like. It’s really surprising. It’s not the slightest similarity to myself in my previous life. Why did I come to this strange world?

The guy looked at her surprised look and didn't care. After all, this mirror is valuable and ordinary people are reluctant to buy it. Many people just come in to see it.

Yuanyuan walked around the grocery store carefully, and Ruan asked them to leave together.

It was already noon at this time and everyone was hungry. Ruan simply took them to the small shop next to him and spent thirty cents to buy three bowls of shredded pork noodles.

The noodles were quickly served, Yuanyuan smelled the scent of the smell, and looked at the thin and white noodles in the big bowl. The soup was clear and covered with shredded pork, pickled vegetables and vegetables. She couldn't help but move her index finger and ate a large bowl of noodles clean, without even the soup left.

In Xiaoyu's memory, it was the second time she ate noodles. Last time, her father brought her and her brother to eat it. This delicious food made her feel very complicated.

She didn't expect Ruan would buy her a bowl, but she knew she was full of roundness.

In my heart, I felt that Ruan was too good at managing the house. If I bought three steamed buns, it would be only six cents of silver at most.

My father used to do work for others, but he only had forty cents or fifty cents of copper coins a day; Erniang earned one or two or three cents of silver for embroidery work, but spent more than half of it in the past half day. He really couldn't manage the family.
