Quick Wear: Male supporting role, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 431 Ancient Business Manual 6

While Chu's mother was discussing the size with the shopkeeper, Chu Yuan came to the teahouse not far from the cloth shop and asked, "Shopkeeper, what is the cheapest tea you have?"

The shop owner did not look down on her because she asked for the cheapest tea. To be honest, in this not-so-rich town, the cheapest tea was the one with the highest sales volume.

"Look, young lady, the cheapest thing here is this kind of broken tea, 13 coins per ounce."

This is two cents cheaper than Chu Yuan expected, but the shape is a little broken, and it doesn't affect the taste when used to make milk tea: "Okay, I'll take this one. Please weigh two taels for me first."

Now her funds are limited, and the total amount of money she has on hand is only sixty cents, so she can only buy two taels of tea to try it out. After she has achieved good results and gained the support of her family, she can purchase tea in large quantities.

When she returned to the cloth shop with the tea, Chu's mother was still negotiating the price with the boss. It was impossible to make a whole set of clothes with only one color of cloth, so Chu's mother chose two more colors of cloth to match, and was now calculating the total price.

"I'll charge you 550 coins for all these."

Mother Chu thought about it and thought the price was reasonable, so she paid decisively: "Okay, we'll leave the fabric here for now, and you can come get it when you go back."

This time when she came to town, Chu's mother was planning to buy some other things. It was a bit inconvenient to carry cloth, and she had been to this cloth shop many times and trusted the owner.

The cloth shop owner was very straightforward: "Okay, I'll put it under the counter, and you can come and get it later."

After buying the cloth, Chu Yuan followed her mother to the grain shop. There happened to be red beans there, so she bought some as well. When they settled the bill at the end, her mother paid for it together with her, and Chu Yuan did not spend any of her own money.

The same goes for brown sugar. Chu's mother originally wanted to buy some to take back, but when she saw that her daughter wanted it too, she added a little more, which saved Chu Yuan a lot of expenses.

After buying the food, Chu's mother went to the butcher shop and bought a pound of pork.

Although her husband knows how to hunt, the family has more opportunities to eat meat than others, but most of them are pheasants, rabbits, etc., and pork is still rarely available. It is rare for them to come to the town, so they have to buy some back to feed the children.

"Girl, we have almost bought everything for the house. Is there anything else you want? If not, let's go back."

"Mom, I want to go to the snack shop over at the academy. When I came out, I promised Hudan and Erniu that I would bring them some delicious food."

Mother Chu was very happy to see her children getting close to each other: "Okay then."

The dim sum shop is located opposite the only academy in the city, Yunxuan Academy. Due to its prime location in Baisha City, the business here is very good.

It was noon when Chu Yuan arrived. From afar, he saw groups of students walking out of the grocery store, holding some snacks wrapped in oil paper in their hands.

The geographical location of this area is very good, especially on the left and right sides of the dim sum shop. If a stall selling milk tea could be opened here, facing the gate of Yunxuan Academy and not far away next to the residential area of ​​the city's wealthy families, business would definitely be good.

It’s a pity that the grocery store owner would not allow her to open a stall in front of the store. Not only would it steal his business, but it would also make it inconvenient for customers to enter and exit.

So Chu Yuan began to search the area again, and finally, she saw a hidden alley. Although it was a little more remote than the location she had favored, it was only a few dozen meters away from the gate of the academy.

As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. As long as the bamboo tube milk tea sign is put up, I believe no one will mind walking a few more steps.

In almost an instant, Chu Yuan chose a location for her stall, and then she followed her mother's footsteps into the dim sum shop.

There are dozens of kinds of snacks for sale here, but unfortunately with her current financial resources, she can only afford the cheapest ones: "Boss, please weigh me a few green bean cakes."

Mung bean cakes cost 50 wen per pound, but Chu Yuan only bought five pieces, just enough to give one to each family member, so the total cost was 12 wen.

When paying, Chu's mother was about to take off her purse, but Chu Yuan stopped her: "Mom, I already said that I bought this for my brother and sister-in-law, so you don't have to pay."

As she spoke, she counted out 12 cents from her purse and handed them to the waiter who was wrapping snacks.

Chu's mother was very satisfied with her eldest daughter in every way. She was beautiful since she was young and had a very gentle and kind temperament. Once she reached a certain age, her house would definitely be visited by matchmakers.

When the time comes, she will definitely choose a good marriage for her daughter, preferably a scholar, so that she doesn't have to continue living this kind of life digging for food in the fields with them.

In just a few seconds, Chu's mother's thoughts drifted to her future grandchildren, but she was finally brought back to her senses by her own daughter.

"Mom, I've bought it, let's go back."

They still walked on the way back to the village. The mother and daughter ordered a bowl of tea for one penny at the tea stall at the city gate, ate lunch with the cornmeal cakes they brought with them, and then walked for an hour back to Zhujie Village.

When Chu Yuan got home, before he put down the things in his hands, his thighs were hugged by two little kids who were half a person's height.

"Eldest sister, is the town fun?"

"Eldest sister, did you bring any delicious food for me and Erniu?"

Chu Yuan had no choice but to put the things he bought on the ground first, and then took out the oil paper bag containing the mung bean cake: "One piece per person, take it and eat it."

After sending the two little kids away, Chu Yuan came to the kitchen, put all the ingredients he bought for making milk tea in the cupboard, and then went out with his purse in his pocket.

She first came to a cow-raising family in the village, an aunt from the same village: "Aunt Hu, please leave a bucket of milk for me tomorrow."

Aunt Hu responded readily: "It's you, big girl. I've made a note of it. You can come get it tomorrow morning."

Ever since her cow gave birth to a calf, people from the village came to her house one after another to buy milk. Anyway, the calf could not drink so much, so she simply sold it for three cents a bucket, which also added some income to the family.

After ordering the milk, Chu Yuan asked about the cassava: "Aunt, do you have any cassava left from the crops you planted this year? I want to buy some."

"That thing is not valuable. If you want it, just take a few and go." We are all from the same village. We interact with each other on a daily basis. It's just a few cassavas. It's not worth asking for money.

But Chu Yuan wanted quite a lot, and it was not appropriate to take it for free: "Aunt, I want a lot, so you should name a price."

Knowing that Chu Yuan wanted to buy ten kilograms of cassava, which was indeed not a small amount, Aunt Hu carefully calculated the price: "Then let's say one cent per kilogram, and you just give ten cents."
