When she got closer, she asked Jiang Dani and others to wait outside and went into the cloth shop alone.

In the cloth shop, pieces of coarse cotton, linen, fine linen and fine cotton are classified and stacked.

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man.

I glanced outside the shop and saw a group of girls surrounding the cart. Each of them led seven people?

He couldn't help but secretly said,

admire.

"Sister, it's the end of the year, and fabrics are all sold at a low price. Coarse linen is 200 wen a piece. Cotton is 500 wen a piece."

"Boss, how much is this per foot?" Liu Chunfeng pointed at a piece of light pink cotton cloth and asked straightforwardly.

"This one is thirteen cents a foot," said the shopkeeper.

Liu Chunfeng thought for a moment and said, "Give me eighteen feet of pink cotton cloth and five feet of blue cotton cloth. Give me a discount."

The shopkeeper didn't seem to expect that Liu Chunfeng would buy cotton cloth.

Judging from her clothes, she is really poor.

"Big sister, to be honest with you, if it weren't for the end-of-year clearance, I would have already bought everything I needed. I usually sell this cotton cloth for fifteen cents a piece and I refuse to bargain."

"How about this, I'll give you twelve cents a foot. Come often in the future."

He calculated with his abacus, and finally, according to the price of twelve cents per foot,

"It's two hundred and seventy-six coins in total. I'll give you two hundred and seventy coins."

It was Liu Chunfeng's first time buying fine cotton cloth, and she bought twenty-three feet of cloth without hesitation.

All in all, including the stall fee, the total consumption today is 445 coins.

And in Liu Chunfeng's purse, there were only twenty cents left, including the money she had brought in the morning and the money she earned from selling eggs today.

This time, seeing their purses empty, the granddaughters felt even more distressed about spending money.

But everyone couldn't wait to have new clothes to wear.

On the way home,

On the cart, Jiang Wuni was still unhappy.

She didn't say anything, just looked at the scenery in the distance, ignoring everyone.

Only the sisters kept talking.

On the way back,

Liu Chunfeng brought her granddaughters with her, carrying the cotton cloth and food she had bought.

It was almost dusk when we entered the village.

The villagers passing by saw this.

After saying hello, everyone took a look at the several feet of fine cotton cloth on the cart.

Everyone thought that Jiang Liushi didn't seem to know how to live.

"Oh, Sister Liu, did you make money from selling eggs?" Zhang happened to pass by with her child. She never expected that Liu Chunfeng would be willing to buy such good cotton cloth when she went out.

Liu Chunfeng simply nodded.

"Grandma Zhang, if we can't make money, what can we buy it with?" Jiang Erni looked back and met Lin Xiaoyong's gaze. The two of them disliked each other.

Zhang saw the interaction between the two and pulled the child behind her.

"Er Ni, let's go to Grandma Zhang's house. Grandma Zhang has also bought some good cotton cloth. She is thinking of tailoring new clothes for you to wear during the New Year."

As she spoke, she pulled Jiang Erni away.

However, Erni dodged his hand.

"Mom, I am your son." Lin Xiaoyong made a face at Jiang Erni.

Zhang couldn't help herself and slapped the child on the head. Lin Xiao bravely ran away.

"Let's talk later." Zhang shook her head and went to chase her son.

Jiang Dani and others couldn't help but laugh out loud, which made Erni blush with anger.

Finally, it’s still my grandma’s words,

"Er Ni, don't listen to Grandma Zhang." She calmed herself down.

And Jiang Yue... Grandma Zhang is really interesting.

When he met Li at the doorstep of his home, he admired Liu Chunfeng even more.

Where did Sister Liu learn her business skills?

Even she was reluctant to buy cotton cloth for her eldest granddaughter to wear.

The cotton cloth belongs to the three grandsons.

In her heart, she values boys over girls.

The next day after returning home,

Liu Chunfeng started making new clothes for her granddaughters.

Because the eldest sister followed grandma to make it, she finished it very quickly.

Grandma made two sets of blue clothes of different sizes for Jiang Yue at one time.

Trying on the new blue dress, Jiang Yue felt the softness of the cotton fabric.

Finally, I don’t have to wear coarse linen clothes anymore.

The three older sisters were happier than her.

Brother, you finally act like a younger brother.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the girls wore new pink clothes over their cotton-padded jackets, looking full of energy.

The new clothes are so beautiful, and grandma’s craftsmanship is getting more and more exquisite.

The three-year-old Jiang Yue now looks particularly different with just this touch of blue.

The girls looked at their grandmother's patched dress and suddenly felt that the new clothes were not so comfortable to wear.

This morning's dumplings were stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork.

Jiang Yue finally didn't have to let others eat the meat, she just drank the soup.

New Year's Eve,

Another year.

Jiang Yue and her sisters have grown taller.

Now, her oldest sister is twelve years old.

The three-year-old Jiang Yue spoke much more fluently.

The first month of the year,

Little Jiang Yue lay in the chicken coop, looking at her grandmother walking towards her.

"Grandma, buy some wasteland and raise chickens." Although the family had thirty acres of land, the middle and lower fields were too good. Firstly, the location was not good, and secondly, there were many slopes and the ground was uneven, which was really bad. Compared with those fields, Jiang Yue felt that the open grassland at the foot of the mountain was easier to manage.

With her small body, she can't be of much help, but she can still come up with some ideas.

"Raising chickens on wasteland?" Liu Chunfeng believed her granddaughter's words more and more.

Her little six is naturally smart and seems to know everything.

She looked at Jiang Yue seriously, and then hugged her in her arms.

"Grandma wants to, too, but our family has no money."

After that, she nodded.

"Let's go, follow grandma, and go to Village Chief Zhao's house to ask about the situation."

Whether you want to buy it or not, you first need to know whether the wasteland is for sale so that you can save money to buy the land.

When the village chief Zhao Zhu heard that someone wanted to buy land in the suburbs, he shook his head.

"Sister Liu, ordinary wasteland is not wanted by anyone. If you really want to plant it, you can get one tael of silver per mu, and you don't have to pay taxes for three years. It's up to you."

Ordinary fields, even low-quality fields, cost one and a half taels per mu. Zhao Zhu was also reminding Liu Chunfeng's family of orphans and widows.

It is very difficult to reclaim wasteland without a strong laborer at home.

Moreover, he knew the situation of the Jiang family and felt that she could not afford to buy the land cheaply.

Jiang Yue listened and thought it was cheap, but she didn't quite understand the market situation here.

Liu Chunfeng: "One tael of silver?"

After spending some money during the Chinese New Year, she now had only about 400 coins on her body.

And three-year-old Jiang Yue,

His little brain was already thinking about how to make this tael of silver.

No, it's much more than one or two taels of silver.

Chicken seedlings cost money, and fences and other things are big projects, so money is also needed.

Labor costs money.

Come to think of it, it was too hasty. Her wish might be realized later.

Thinking of the mushrooms in the back mountain that required luck to pick up, her eyes flickered slightly, and she had a new idea about how to make money.

After leaving the village chief's house, Jiang Yue expressed her thoughts.

"Grandma, selling mushrooms."

"It can't be sold." Liu Chunfeng still thought as before, no one from the countryside wants it.

If I had learned embroidery, cooking or something like that when I was young, I wouldn’t be unable to do anything and could only use brute force.

She is just an ordinary old woman.

Liu Chunfeng looked at Xiaoliu and confirmed,

A few years later, I was sent to a private school.

At worst, you can still be a teacher in the future.

But today, she realized that she was careless and just let Xiaoliu lead the way.

Now I want to buy land to raise chickens, and now I want to sell mushrooms.

Jiang Yue: "Sell it together with the eggs."

"Even if I could sell the few mushrooms I picked up in the forest for some money, it wouldn't be enough to sell them." Liu Chunfeng shook her head, but nodded.

"That's right. Grandma goes to town to sell eggs every month. Why didn't she think of selling eggs along with them? My little six is really smart."

It’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but I just feel that there are not many mushrooms worth buying.

"Collect mushrooms," Jiang Yue repeated, "and sell them in town."

"Hmm? Liu Chunfeng is a little confused."

"Too few in one family," Jiang Yue tried hard to practice her unsmooth speaking voice.

"If you recruit more mushrooms, you will have more mushrooms and they will be easier to sell. Not only mushrooms, but other things can also be sold on your behalf."

That’s right, we sell on behalf of others. All mountain products can be sold on behalf of others.

Including nuts such as walnuts, red dates and so on.

The more Jiang Yue thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to her.

"..." Liu Chunfeng stared at Jiang Yue for a long while after hearing this.

"Xiaoliu is grandma's lucky star."
