Mind reading, taking the rental house through the whole village crying

"The big hot meat buns are so delicious that they sizzle with oil when you bite them. They are so delicious that Wang Laosan, who is lying on the bed next door, can stand up. Come and buy them. Each big meat bun costs only five cents. They are cheap and delicious."

"I'm selling candied haws. A string costs six coins. They are covered with thick maltose. One lick will make you feel sweet. Both adults and children love them."

"Mutton noodles, freshly rolled chewy noodles, made with the finest flour, come and eat--"

"Sell dried mushrooms, take them home, soak them in water, add some minced meat, and cook them into soup or stir-fry. They are so delicious that they will make your teeth fall out! Only one penny for one portion!"

"Please have mercy on me, sir, and give me a steamed bun——"

"Yue Lai Restaurant is offering a 20% discount on meal fees today. Come and have your meal. Sir, please come in. There are three guests in the elegant seats on the second floor..."

"..."

The sounds of hawking and begging along the way were heard everywhere.

Although Lianshan Town is poorer than the other two towns.

But it covers a large area.

The population is naturally large.

The streets were bustling with activity, and among the people walking around, one could frequently see masters and ladies dressed in expensive clothes. There were more wealthy people than Jiang Fubao had imagined.

It turns out that the only people who are too poor to afford food are the farmers who grow crops...

Jiang Fubao curled his lips.

She looked left and right, like a country bumpkin coming to the city for the first time.

wrong.

It was indeed her first time in the city.

Good guy.

The reputation of being a country bumpkin has been established.

"Grandma, why are there only food stalls here?" Jiang Fubao raised his head and asked Zhang Jinlan in confusion.

"This is Food Street, so of course everything sold here is food. Fubao, is there anything you want to eat? Tell grandma and she will buy it for you." As she was talking, Zhang Jinlan saw a stall selling maltose blocks diagonally opposite.

Sugar is expensive.

Maltose isn't much cheaper either.

I don't eat it many times a year.

She planned to buy two sweet bites for her granddaughter.

"I don't want to eat, grandma, let's go somewhere else." Jiang Fubao, who had eaten her fill, burped for a long time. She had no interest in any delicious food now.

She just wanted to stroll around the remaining four streets.

Learn more about this town.

By the way, see if there are any good businesses to start with, and then you can use indirect means to let the Jiang family do it.

You will never get rich in your life by relying on a few acres of thin land.

From ancient times to the present, the poorest people are farmers.

Never changed.

Jiang Fubao, who grew up in modern times, knows this truth well.

"You really don't want to eat? Grandma will buy you two candies to sweeten your mouth, and then we can go shopping in other streets."

Zhang Jinlan thought her granddaughter was sensible and didn't want her to spend money.

He simply grabbed his granddaughter and ran straight to the candy stall.

"Hey, young man, how much are these candies?" Looking at the candies of all sizes on the stall, Zhang Jinlan took out her wallet and asked the price.

"The big one is 1.4 cents, the small one is 1.1 cent. Buy two big ones and get a small one free. Buy five small ones and you get six."

This sounds like a tongue twister.

Jiang Fubao felt dizzy after hearing this.

But Zhang Jinlan knew it clearly.

"Then give me five small ones."

When Zhang Jinlan heard the price, she felt a little pain.

In the past, the price of malt sugar was not so expensive. A large piece was sold for three cents at most, and a small piece was sold for one or two cents.

Hey.

Food prices are really rising.

Everything goes up.

Zhang Jinlan complained in her heart.

"Okay, ma'am, you want to buy five pieces, right? I'll give you one piece for free. I'll pack them for you in total of six pieces. Just give me five cents." The stall owner took out a green leaf.

Jiang Fubao recognized it at a glance; the meat buns her uncle bought for her that day were wrapped in this leaf.

No plastic bags here.

Paper is expensive.

Therefore, cheaper food is probably packed in this kind of leaves.

The more expensive ones use food boxes.

"Auntie, this is for you." The stall owner wrapped up six pieces of maltose that were only slightly larger than a fingernail.

Hand it to Zhang Jinlan.

The two paid the money and delivered the goods.

After getting it.

Zhang Jinlan took out a piece and stuffed it into Jiang Fubao's mouth. She wrapped the remaining pieces in leaves, threw them into the bamboo basket behind her and took them home.

Jiang Fubao's mouth was instantly filled with sweetness.

The taste is not bad, with a malty aroma.

After a while.

The grandparents and grandchildren left the Food Street.

This time we went to Shibu Street.

As the name suggests, the places that sell clothing are cloth shops, jewelry shops, garment shops, etc.

This street is relatively large and the road is very wide.

It can accommodate three carriages at the same time.

There are five alleys in total.

There were only three food streets just now.

The name of the alley is also very different from that of Baishi Street.

A down to earth one.

A more elegant one.

The grandfather and grandson were at the entrance of Chou Xiu Lane.

There are many stalls here.

All they sell are embroidery items.

Jiang Fubao's attention was attracted by a handkerchief embroidered with butterflies and flowers.

But she was too short and the stall was too high.

It was only when she was held in her grandmother's arms that she was able to see clearly.

"Grandma, look, this handkerchief is so beautiful, with so many flowers on it." Jiang Fubao shouted with surprise.

The embroidery on the handkerchief is lifelike, and the fabric looks soft and smooth. It must be comfortable to wipe your mouth with it.

It's nothing like the mouth cloth hanging on grandma's body.

Rougher than a foot cloth.

"Young girl, you have a good eye. This is Yanyun silk, which is unique to Yanyun Province. It is woven with white silk and then embroidered by a Jiangnan embroiderer with seven-color embroidery threads, stitch by stitch. It is a hot commodity. If it is put in the shop, it will sell for at least two taels of silver!"

The stall owner is a woman in her thirties.

Has a round face.

Looks a bit like Buddha.

She was not like some snobbish shopkeepers who would be disgusted when they saw others wearing tattered clothes.

When she heard Jiang Fubao praising the handkerchief, she held it up so that the grandparents could see it more clearly.

It is also introduced together.

"Two taels of silver? Oh my God, this is too expensive. My family spends less than two taels of silver on food and daily expenses in a year. How can such a small handkerchief be sold at such a high price? Young lady, please put it away quickly and don't damage it, otherwise you won't be able to sell it at a high price."

Zhang Jinlan exclaimed.

She saw the stall owner playing with the handkerchief.

I was so scared that I quickly reminded her.

"Haha, don't panic, I won't charge that much here, only eight dollars."

The stall owner smiled kindly twice.

Explaining.

One string of money is equal to one hundred coins.

Ten taels of money equals one tael.

So eight taels of silver is a little more than half a tael of silver.

Maybe he was frightened when he heard the word "Erliang" just now.

Now that they knew the handkerchief cost just over half a tael, the expressions of the grandfather and grandson were not so surprised anymore.

But I can’t afford more than half an ounce.

Zhang Jinlan only had four hundred coins in her purse from the eggs she had just sold, and she spent another three coins on the noodle soup.

Plus the five cents for maltose.

There are only more than 390 coins left.

"Fubao, let's go. Grandma can't afford it." Zhang Jinlan was not self-abased. She said directly that she had no money.

His frank appearance made the stall owner look at him with a higher regard.

"Grandma, I didn't intend to buy them. I just thought they looked nice and wanted to show them to you. When I grow up and make a lot of money, I'll buy you seven and you can use them interchangeably."

Jiang Fubao painted a big picture.

But Zhang Jinlan ate it with relish.
