In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.
Chapter 9 Bai Lu is dressed like a beggar, you should leave
The woman selling goat milk was a young woman who looked to be in her 20s. She had a pretty face and everyone called her Miss Luo.
The goat milk was placed in a bucket. When you opened it, it had a strong smell and it was still steaming when heated in winter.
It has a strong milky flavor and the goat milk is white, and you can tell it’s good goat milk at first glance.
Bai Lu glanced at her, and Madam Luo immediately smiled at Bai Lu and said, "Young lady, do you want to buy goat milk?"
"Fresh goat milk costs 24 wen per pound. If you buy more, five or ten pounds, I can give you 22 wen per pound."
Bai Lu understood. Goat milk sold outside costs 24 wen, and if bought in large quantities, it would be 22 wen. It was estimated that restaurants or wealthy families would supply about 20 or 22 kilograms, and the price would be around wen or wen.
She smiled at Mrs. Luo and said, "Give me five pounds. I just gave birth and I need a lot of goat milk. Five pounds should be enough for two or three days."
A few days ago, I had to explain to the villagers that I bought my goat milk from Mrs. Luo.
When she became rich later, she could buy a dairy sheep and say that her goat milk was squeezed from the sheep.
A dairy sheep costs a lot of money, and she is reluctant to spend that money now.
Mrs. Luo quickly brought a bucket to Bai Lu and said, "I've put five kilograms of goat milk in the bucket. Just bring it to me next time you come to town."
"But I think that if your child is just born, he might not be able to drink so much."
Bai Lu said silently: "I have 7 children."
Mrs. Luo was shocked: "Ah? You gave birth to 7 babies at once?!"
"You are so powerful!"
Bai Lu nodded.
Mrs. Luo looked envious: "What a blessing! My husband and I have been trying to have a child for many years, but we haven't been able to have one. My husband and I don't have a good relationship because of this..."
"You have given birth to so many children, you must be very much loved by your husband."
The logic of these ancient women is a bit problematic. What does having a baby have to do with whether the husband likes it or not?
Bai Lu smiled and said, "Whether my husband likes it or not, if it is linked to having children, then he doesn't like you in the first place."
Madam Luo was stunned. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Bai Lu walking away with the bucket of goat milk.
After buying the goat milk, Bai Lu quickly went to the fabric shop.
The young lady selling cloth inside smiled and said, "Coarse cloth is 5 wen a foot, coarse cotton cloth is 10 wen a foot, and fine cotton cloth is 15 wen a foot."
"We have new colors, like this green one, which was recently introduced and costs 20 wen per foot."
"If you need a piece of cloth with a pattern, it will be more expensive. This piece of cloth with a chrysanthemum pattern costs 29 coins per foot."
"Miss, what do you want and how much do you want?"
Bai Lu was dumbfounded.
The fabrics looked uglier than each other, and the green one she said looked particularly rough and old-fashioned. It was not pretty at all.
But even so, this is still a relatively outstanding fabric here. It seems that this Lotus Town is too small. If it were a bigger town, it would probably be better than this one.
Moreover, the cloth here is not cheap. A top needs three to five feet, and a pair of pants needs the same amount. So the cheapest set of clothes costs several dozen coins.
No wonder everyone has patches all over their bodies.
Bai Lu didn't think about anything else. She went straight to the young woman selling cloth and said, "Do you have any softer cloth, the kind for making diapers for babies?"
"I feel like even muslin isn't soft enough."
The young lady looked at Bai Lu with a surprised look and chuckled, "I didn't expect this girl to have gotten married and had a baby. She looks very pretty."
Bai Lu touched her face and smiled. Her face was indeed pretty, and fair, with bright eyes. If she didn't tell anyone, everyone would think she was just a little girl.
The young lady said with a smile: "But you are really good at joking. Whose child's diaper does not use torn clothes? Instead, use new cloth!"
"And you despise my fine cotton cloth. It is really too extravagant."
Bai Lu: "..."
It's not a matter of luxury or not. The main thing is that if you don't use new or softer fabrics, what will happen if the child's butt gets infected or worn out?
She smiled and said, "Children are more fragile, so it's better to use something good."
"Okay, okay, take a look at this piece of cloth. It's white fine cotton, softer than the others. I'll sell it to you at a lower price, 17 cents a foot."
The young lady took out a piece of cloth and said with a smile, "One foot is enough for the child to use for a month. You can buy two feet and wash them alternately."
Bai Lu: "..."
She has seven children, so she has to buy a 14-foot house.
"14 feet, thank you."
After that, she handed the young lady some change: "Give me some copper coins."
Hundreds of coins are gone just like that, I feel so sad.
But there is no other way now, I have to buy diapers.
Young lady: “?”
"Could it be possible that you have seven children, young lady?"
"Yes."
Bai Lu, under the young lady's surprised and envious gaze, suddenly handed the goat milk in her hand to the young lady and said, "Oh, my stomach suddenly feels uncomfortable, I want to go to the toilet."
"Young lady, please help me watch it for a while, I will come back to get it later."
"Okay, go ahead."
The young lady looked at Bai Lu, who disappeared at the end of the alley, and then looked at the goat milk on the ground, feeling very envious.
"How come they gave birth to seven children? Tsk tsk tsk... They are so blessed."
"And these children are also blessed. Mother is so good to them."
"..."
Bai Lu ran to the end of the alley, and immediately bought a set of clothes without patches from her system mall and put them on. She also put on a long hat so that others could not see her appearance clearly.
Adding these, my expenses today have exactly reduced by 1 tael of silver.
Next, she will go to various restaurants to ask how goat milk is sold.
She first came to a place called Jixiang Restaurant. This Jixiang Restaurant has two floors, with the first floor being about 200 square meters. Most of the people coming and going inside were people eating.
The aroma of food wafted over, making my appetite whetted again.
Oh, when I become rich, I will definitely bring my children here for a meal.
After she entered the restaurant, she immediately found the waiter and said, "I have some things I want to supply to the restaurant. Please pass the message to the shopkeeper for me."
The waiter couldn't help but frown when he saw Bai Lu's mysterious outfit and the low-quality clothes she was wearing.
"Miss, our shopkeeper is not available at this time. He is receiving guests inside."
"You should try another restaurant."
Bai Lu was stunned, but still insisted: "I have a lot of good things to provide to the shopkeeper."
The waiter was amused: "You are wearing tattered clothes like a beggar. The clothes just don't have patches, but anyone can see how poor the quality is..."
"You want to act like a rich guy wearing a bamboo hat?"
"Hurry up! Get out of here! You have to turn left to beg for food!"
After saying that, the waiter continued to work, not taking Bai Lu seriously at all.
When the other guests heard this, they immediately looked at Bai Lu strangely, with ridicule evident in their eyes.
