Start with three days of hunger and nine meals, and become rich and tempting

Liu Siyu weighed the two taels of silver in his hand.

"how much is it?"

The shopkeeper raised his eyebrows and stared at Liu Siyu again.

"This is new cloth, the color is bright, and it's worth at least one ounce of silver."

Liu Siyu touched it and found it was indeed new cloth. The bean green color was acceptable. One piece of cloth could be made into three sets of clothes in modern times, but clothes for ancient people were more complicated.

The collar should cover the neck, the sleeves should reach the wrists, the length of the top should at least be below the hips, and the pants should cover the ankles.

Cheesecloth has no elasticity, so in order to make work easier, it is usually one or two sizes larger, so more cloth will naturally be used.

However, this piece of cloth was more than enough for her and Liu Sihan, and the rest could be used to make a pair of trousers for Wang.

It can be counted as the labor fee for Wang, since the original owner can't do needlework.

Not to mention Liu Siyu. She has barely held a needle in modern times, let alone making clothes.

"Here is one ounce of silver, and I want this piece of cloth."

After buying the cloth, the remaining one or two taels of silver should be used to buy food, which is also something that is in short supply at home.

Since I traveled through time, I have been eating coarse grains and bitter wild vegetables, which not only make my throat burn, but also make me feel nauseous.

The only fine grain is the cornmeal bought last time. Wang guards it like a treasure and is lucky enough to have a meal of cornmeal a day.

Now that I have money, I will definitely bring back some fine grain.

Rice is not produced in abundance here. The rice is shipped from other places and is not cheap. There is no hope of eating rice now.

The only choice is noodles.

White flour was 7 wen per pound, which was still too expensive, so we had to settle for gray flour at 5 wen per pound.

This is also the choice of fine grains for most farmers.

Liu Siyu thought about it and decided to buy 60 kilograms first.

No matter how much her small body cannot lift, anything that wants to be put into the ice cellar must first pass through her hands and then be moved into the ice cellar with her mind.

It is definitely not a good idea to operate on the spot in front of the shopkeeper. Once exposed, you might become a guinea pig in the cellar of the powerful.

After paying 300 coins, the shopkeeper kindly gave me a cloth bag. 60 kilograms of gray flour was still quite heavy on my shoulders.

Liu Siyu didn't delay any longer and headed straight back to the village.

But behind her there were two young men with puzzled looks on their faces. They followed her from a distance as instructed by the shopkeeper, but after following her for a long time they did not see the little girl buy even a single pill.

A young man scratched his head and said, "Xiao Wuzi, what do you think we should do now?"

Xiao Wuzi rolled his eyes and said, "We will follow your instructions and report back first. The rest will be up to the shopkeeper to arrange."

Liu Siyu didn't realize that someone was following her. She walked on the muddy mountain road and tried to hurry home. She didn't look around until she was long out of the town. Only after she was sure that there was no one around did she move the gray flour into the ice cellar.

He shook his sore shoulders and thought to himself that next time when he went into the city, he would bring a backpack with him no matter how busy he was. With the backpack as a cover, he could move anything into the ice cellar, and he wouldn't have to carry the food for so long.

In the Liu family courtyard, Liu Sihan looked out the door again and again.

"Mom, I think my elder sister is okay. Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Wang saw smoke coming out of her neighbors' kitchens and felt a little worried.

“It should be soon, let’s wait and see.

Liu Sihan nodded after hearing this and could only think positively.

But after hitting the acorns a few times, Liu Sihan became anxious again.

He knew what his elder sister had made, and he also knew that she was going to sell them to Cha Xiang Ji. But there were only a few boxes of stuff, so why had she not come back after selling them for the whole morning? Did something happen to his elder sister?

Thinking of this, Liu Sihan could no longer wait quietly, and raised his foot and said, "I'll go to the village entrance to meet you, elder sister."

Seeing that her son cared so much about the eldest girl, and thinking of how Liu Siyu loved Sihan these days, Wang's heart softened.

"I'll go with you."

Liu Sihan was slightly stunned, "Mom, are you ready to get along well with Big Sister?"

Wang nodded. "We have been eating from the same pot for so many years, and I have never treated her as an outsider. I was inconsiderate when I wanted to send her to the Huang family. I thought that it would be better for her to live in a wealthy family than here. I never thought that such a misunderstanding would occur. Sigh, your eldest sister must hate me to death..."

"No, my eldest sister said we are a family, she won't hate you."

Liu Sihan actively defended himself.

Wang smiled bitterly.

The son is still young and doesn't understand the adults' thoughts at all. She was sold here by her mother. She says she has no resentment, but when times get hard, she feels a little aggrieved in her heart.

The two of them walked towards the village entrance with their own thoughts. From a distance, they saw Liu Siyu walking back with a cloth bag on her shoulder, stepping deep and shallow.

Liu Sihan was delighted and rushed to Liu Siyu like a fluttering bird.

"Sister, why did you come back just now? You made me worry all the time."

Liu Siyu shrugged the cloth bag onto her shoulder and held the cloth tighter against her arms.

"Don't you see that I have food on my shoulders and cloth in my arms?"

Wang immediately took two quick steps and took the food from Liu Siyu's shoulder.

"Why did you buy so much again?"

"Yes, sister, have you sold all the things you made?"

Liu Siyu shook her sore shoulders with a proud look on her face.

"Of course they've all been sold. Shopkeeper Fu came here just for my stuff. As soon as we got to town, we paid for the goods. Besides, you didn't even look at who made the stuff. If I, Liu Siyu, take action, there's nothing I can't sell."

Liu Sihan admired her and said, "Sister, you are so awesome!"

Wang was also very happy, "Are the cakes you made really popular?"

Liu Siyu raised the cloth in her arms and said, "How can I buy so many things if I'm not popular?"

Wang was a little embarrassed by this retort, "Since everything was sold out as soon as we got to town, why didn't you come back earlier and make us worry about it at home?"

"You think I want to wander around outside? It took a lot of time to buy these things. It rained last night, and everything is wet, slippery and sticky. It will delay my work."

Seeing that her sister was unhappy, Sihan immediately tried to smooth things over.

"Mom is just too worried about you."

Liu Siyu smiled and said, "I know." She and Wang were both straightforward and bickering was a common occurrence, but she didn't want Liu Sihan to always be the peacemaker between them.

He patted the coarse cloth in his hand and his tone softened a little.

"Mom, can you make a set of clothes for me and Sihan?"

Wang nodded and agreed without even thinking about it.

"It's not that difficult. Just do a little bit every night and you'll be able to get it in less than 10 days."

Liu Sihan's face was full of disbelief, "Sister, can I really wear new clothes?"

"Of course you can. This is the new cloth I specially tore. You and I will each make a set. We are small in stature, so there will be enough left to make a pair of pants for mother. I have carefully calculated the size."

Wang felt sad because her son had never worn new clothes since he was a child.

I didn’t expect that the first time I wore new clothes was thanks to Liu Siyu.

What was even more surprising was that Liu Siyu actually thought of her.

Tears welled up in her eyes and Wang had to walk faster.

"Mom, I'm waiting to wear it. Can you make it for me in the next two days?"

"Why?" Wang looked puzzled.
