Dressed as a farmer's widow, she brought her daughter to stock up on food and reached the top

But one tael of silver is too much. Although my mother has treasures, it is not easy to exchange the money in the treasures into silver. Last time, I went to the city with my mother to sell angelica and earned six taels of silver. It costs money to buy things at home, and money is needed everywhere. I can't sell angelica every day.

There are seven sisters in the family who need to eat, and they all depend on A Niang for everything. They don’t have the ability to make money now, but A Niang wants to give them the best. Now she wants them to learn to read. The only literate people in the village are the old village chief and Li Shenghui.

All they need is a set of the worst writing instruments. They will definitely learn to read and write well, and when they have a promising future, they will be filial to their mother.

Yang Xiuying didn't know that Taohua had thought so much in just a few minutes. She shrugged her brows and said, "The writing brush and ink for study are inside the treasure."

Taohua looked at Yang Xiuying in surprise: "Mother, are there pens, inkstones, and paper among the treasures?"

Yang Xiuying nodded: "As long as you have money, you can buy anything."

Taohua pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "Yes, this is a treasure that Daddy got from the gods. Daddy must have calculated that she and her sisters would learn to read."

Daddy...

While Taohua was missing Zhao Yun, Yang Xiuying had already opened a space mall. Pens, ink, paper, and inkstone were classified as school supplies, and the opening price was not expensive, only 2000 yuan.

There are all kinds of books in the school supplies, ranging from the four great classics to fruit cultivation, to sow production and care. The two thousand yuan is totally worth it.

After the service is launched, she can buy all kinds of books on it. Her daughters not only need to supplement their nutrition, but also need to learn knowledge to arm their minds. The characters of this era are similar to those of China. As long as her daughters learn to recognize words, reading and studying will not be difficult for them.

The eldest daughter is smart and can learn the Thirty-Six Stratagems; the second daughter is strong and can practice martial arts; the fourth daughter likes to feed the livestock at home and can learn animal husbandry; the fifth daughter likes to grow vegetables and can learn vegetable planting techniques.

The sixth and seventh children are still young enough to learn "Rules for Disciples" and "Three Hundred Tang Poems".

Oh, and the third one...

When there are many children, there will always be one who is neglected. Thinking that she knew nothing about the third child, Yang Xiuying felt sad. The third child was a good child who spoke little. She should not be ignored just because of her honesty. It was her dereliction of duty as a mother.

Taohua couldn't see the space mall, but she saw Yang Xiuying's face change, and asked worriedly, "Mother, what's wrong? Are the four treasures of the study too expensive? I guess they are the writing utensils of the immortals, so they are not cheap.

Mother, actually it doesn’t matter if we don’t have the four treasures of the study. We are just learning to read and we are not taking exams to gain fame. We can use a tree branch instead of a pen and dip it in water to write on the ground.

We are very happy to be able to read."

Yang Xiuying came back to her senses from blaming the third brother, touched Taohua's head and said calmly, "It's not expensive. Ten small wolf-hair brushes are eight yuan; two ink sticks are five yuan; one hundred four-foot-four sheets of rice paper are twelve yuan; and a five-inch inkstone is nine yuan."

Taohua now has a rough understanding of the currency unit of the treasures. One pound of black truffle is 560 yuan. By comparing it with this, she can see that the price Yang Xiuying quoted is really not expensive.

Four kilograms of rice can buy ten wolf howls, and six kilograms of rice can actually buy one hundred sheets of rice paper. Oh my God!

That's Xuan paper worth a thousand gold! Only the wealthy families in the provincial capital can afford it, and it's not something you can just use; you have to use it sparingly.

"I'll buy some and you can see if there's any difference between them and the four treasures of the study we have here."

After buying milk apples and bracken over the past two days, the mall's balance has soared to over 50,000 yuan. Yang Xiuying didn't even blink at the 2,000 yuan activation fee. Now she's worried about how to exchange the items in the mall for silver.

She pressed the activation button, bought thirty Little Wolf Howls, twenty ink sticks, two hundred sheets of rice paper, and twenty Yantai.

Taohua looked at the extra brush, ink, paper and inkstone in front of her, and excitedly took them in her hands and touched them.

Is this the Wolf Howl brush? The bristles are smooth, and the materials, Yantai rice paper, and ink sticks are all new to me, but they look similar to what Brother Li uses when he writes.

Taohua saw the four treasures of the study used by Li Shenghui when he registered the acquisition list.

Yang Xiuying didn't know much about the four treasures of the study, but she noticed Taohua's envious look when she saw Li Shenghui registering with pen and ink. From that moment on, she made up her mind to let her daughters learn to read and not let them envy others.

"How is it? Is there any difference between this and ours?"

Many modern things are made of high-tech synthesis. For example, the hair used in the Wolf Howl pen may be made of chemical fiber, and the material of the inkstone may be worthless stone. Synthesis requires high technology and hard work.

The only thing she could confirm was the rice paper, which was not fake.

Taohua stammered, "Mother, I only know that these look the same as the ones we have here, but I can't tell the material or the quality. But I think such fine paper is really rare."

An idea popped into Yang Xiuying's mind, and she knew how to exchange the money in the mall into silver.

Maybe she will be able to build a new house next month.

In ancient times, Xuan paper was a rare commodity that only the rich and the royal family could use. It was not only expensive but also scarce. Even if you had money, you might not be able to buy it.

If you sell brushes and let people buy the ones made of synthetic fibers, you're done for. In this era, all we use are natural materials. As long as you meet an expert, you will easily be exposed as a counterfeiter. The same goes for ink blocks and inkstones.

But paper, one of China's four great inventions, will not be fake. There will only be various kinds of paper, and this is the only one that you can control.

She told her eldest daughter her idea.

"Mother, you are so smart! When we sell angelica, we can ask about rice paper at the same time."

Yang Xiuying nodded and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the city to sell angelica and bring some high-quality rice paper with me. I'll try selling some first."

The weather is getting warmer, and she doesn't want to live in the wooden house anymore. It's cool now, and living in the wooden house is neither cold nor hot. But when the rainy season comes, the thatched roof will leak, and there will be hot summer. She wants to live in a brick house. She wants to build a villa!

"Then bring a hundred sheets of rice paper to the city tomorrow and give it a try."

One hundred sheets of rice paper only cost twelve yuan, the price of two cups of milk tea at Xue Wang’s house.

Seeing that the family had a way to make a living, Taohua was also happy: "If anyone asks, I will say it is my mother's craftsmanship. Mother, don't worry, Shiliu and I will definitely protect you. I will tell my second sister about this when I have time."

Yang Xiuying seemed to have seen the silver money rolling towards her, this was a huge source of wealth!
