"A suitable price means you can make money. I don't think it's expensive either." Guangdan said with a smile and followed the shopkeeper back to the door of the shop.

"The star anise, cinnamon and bay leaves on this container are all 150 coins per pound, while the ones on that container are 250 coins. The others are more expensive."

After the shopkeeper said this, even Guangdan opened his eyes wide in disbelief. This price was really expensive. It was many times the price of pork!!!

Guangdan could understand why there were no other spices besides soybeans at home. How could farmers like them afford it at this price?

"Haha, I'm sorry. My brother is young and ignorant. I'm sorry for disturbing you. We just want to take a look--" Gouwei said as he pulled Guangdan's arm and pouted to signal him to leave quickly.

Guangdan shook off his big brother's claws, gritted his teeth, forced a smile and said to the shopkeeper: "I want a little of everything, can you make it cheaper?"

"Okay, that's all. Just take a look at what you want." The shopkeeper took out a piece of cut oil paper from the burlap bag next to the cabinet, folded it a few times with his hands, and continued to look at Guangdan with a smile.

"Half a pound of star anise, three ounces of cinnamon and bay leaves, cloves and vanilla berries—"

Following Guangdan's voice, a servant nearby took a small copper scale and started weighing. Gouwei and Erya, who were standing beside them, had anxious faces that turned red.

When it came time to pay the bill, the shopkeeper happily wiped off ten cents. The total cost of the eggs and the large and small bags of spices was more than six hundred cents.

Not to mention that Gouwei Erya was in love, even he himself felt distressed, it was more than 600 coins! ! ! !

Even Arya was directly angry. When she came out of the spice shop, she glared at Guangdan with an angry face: "What on earth do you want to do? You spend so much money to buy these!!!"

"Oh, I never do anything without confidence. Naturally, I will need these later. Don't worry, these can make us a lot of money."

Guangdan explained in a low voice, but his eyes were looking towards the cloth shop next to him.

"Let's talk about it when we get back, Guangdan. Big brother knows that you are rich and you can make money, but we have to spend money in moderation. Our family is just an ordinary family..."

Before Gouwei could finish his words, Taohuaer saw that Goudan was attracted to the cloth shop again, and hurriedly reached out to grab Guangdan.

"We still have a lot of cloth at home. My elder brother and his wife said they would take it to the town to sell in a while." Taohuaer reminded at double the speed.

This stopped Guangdan from wanting to go and take a look, but there were too many shops in this alley, so he gave up looking at this shop and immediately found his next target.

"Let's go and take a look." Without paying attention to the worried looks of the people around him, Guangdan walked into a grocery store.

This store is called a grocery store, but it has more things than other grocery stores in town. Guangdan even saw some things that were not available in Lingxi Mansion.

But he didn't care much about these empty eggs. They were not what he should consume now. For example, he looked at the exquisite bowls and plates. His eyes went straight to the burlap bag in the corner of the shop.

"What is that red powder, shopkeeper?" Guangdan asked curiously with his innocent little face raised.

The shopkeeper who was reading the tabloid turned his head to take a look, and then said slowly: "It's chili powder, it tastes very spicy, if you want to buy it, you can get it cheaper."

When Guangdan heard the word "cheap", his eyes lit up again, and he immediately bared his white teeth and continued to ask: "How much is it?"

"200 wen per pound." The shopkeeper continued to lower his head and indulge in the tabloids, causing Guangdan to stretch his neck curiously and take a few glances.

This price seemed a bit expensive to Guangdan. After thinking for a while, he asked again, "Boss, do you have any chili seeds? I want to go home and plant some."

"No, that thing was available a few years ago, but few people grew it so I didn't buy it." The shopkeeper waved his hand as he spoke, even as if to say, "Don't bother me if you don't want to buy."

After hearing this, Guangdan just said a few thanks and then left.

Gouwei was a little uncomfortable not buying anything this time, but he still asked curiously, "Do you want to grow chili peppers?"

"Well, I heard this is a rare thing." Guangdan pretended to be very curious.

"But most people prefer sweet taste to spicy taste." Gouwei kindly reminded.

Guangdan nodded. He had heard a long time ago that the ancients were fond of sweet food. Even if you told him how addictive spicy food was, most people still preferred sweet food.

But the clever and witty Guangdan knows that there is another taste that is irresistible, and that is sweet and spicy!

For example, the sweet and spicy Zhou Hei Ya and the sweet and spicy kimchi. After all, as long as you are willing, spicy food can definitely help you make money.

"Let's keep walking!" Guangdan said, and he led everyone straight to the garment shop.

In addition to clothes, the ready-made clothing shop also sells all kinds of shoes, as well as hairpins, handkerchiefs, purses and belts. This time Taohuaer looked very carefully.

She couldn't let go of the beautiful handkerchiefs, hairpins and small fans in the shop. Her big eyes seemed to have grown into the shop's shelves.

Just when Guangdan was about to ask the price, Taohuaer grabbed his arm.

"Let's just take a look, let's go."

Seeing his aunt's determined look, Guangdan followed her out of the shop without struggling, because he had no intention of buying anything.

But after leaving the clothing store, he was still curious and asked, "Aunt, I see you like it very much. Let's ask the price. If it's cheap, you can buy a few small fans to take back."

"I just took a closer look. Those small round fans, the fan frames and fan bones are also made of bamboo, but the material is better. I will go back and try it."

Although Taohuaer lacks confidence, her desire to try it makes everyone's eyes light up.

"You can definitely do it. Your embroidery is the best in the family! Big brother, you can study it with my aunt later!"

Erya started to chatter excitedly, and even started moving her hands around.

"Well, let's study it together when we get back! If we succeed, you can make money too!" Guangdan said, and he became very happy.

It seems that the Lin family members are no longer focused on farming like they used to. For example, my eldest brother and younger aunt have already started thinking about how to do small business to make money, which is already very good.

Moreover, there are educated people in the family. Although Goudan has only been in school for a few years, I believe that the private school in the village must have books about patterns.

As long as you are willing to study hard, you will always make progress!
