The young couple from the farm fights back

After coming out of the herbal medicine shop, Jiang Li and Zhou Chunfeng went to the pastry shop first. After all, there was no reason to go empty-handed when asking someone to do something for you.

The three little guys looked at the fragrant cakes in the steamer with eager eyes and drooling.

Jiang Li looked back at Anger who was sucking his fingers and drooling, then looked at Hengger and Jingger's eager eyes and smiled.

"The first house on the corner is the village chief's. Ask around to make sure you don't make a mistake."

"Okay." Zhou Chunfeng took the pastries packed by the waiter.

"I'll wait for you here with the children."

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

"Ah."

Since we are in the city, we must take the children to see the world. Jiang Li made some money from selling yams today, so he was very generous and ordered a basket of red date cakes for each of the three children.

Seeing Heng'er and Jing'er eating contentedly, Jiang Li felt a warm feeling in her heart. Although they were not her biological children, she found that her ability to accept was really strong.

Perhaps she accepted the world in the book, became a character in the book, and took on the responsibilities of the character in the book.

Two tiny rice-grain teeth appeared in little Ang'er's gums, and he laughed happily while eating rice cakes.

Thinking that Zhou Chunfeng would need time to do his job, Jiang Li asked the waiter for another portion of red date cake to be packed so that she could wait a little longer in the shop.

About half an hour later, Zhou Chunfeng finally came back. He reached out and hugged the little son in Jiang Li's arms.

"done?"

"Well, let's go."

Seeing him holding An Ge'er, Jiang Li turned around and picked up Jing Ge'er.

Zhou Chunfeng paused when he saw this and said, "You carry An'er on your back, and I'll hold Jing'er."

Jing Ge'er: ...

I want my mother, woooooo~.

I have to say that Zhou Chunfeng is a man who knows how to judge the situation. He knows that without Jiang Li in this world, he would be like a blind man, so he has to curry favor with her.

Jing Ge'er was crying inside. Although his father was not mean to him now, he was still afraid.

The young couple, along with their three children, went to a tile shop to order tiles and paid the deposit. They would then pay the balance when the tiles were delivered to the village.

Then they went to the fabric shop and bought the material for two sets of clothes for each of the five members of the family. They also bought a few pairs of knitted soles and coarse cloth for making shoes.

Although Jiang Li couldn't make clothes, let alone shoes, she had Jiang's memories, and knew that this kind of work would become easier with practice. She didn't want her whole family to dress like beggars anymore.

The tiles and materials cost a total of five taels of silver. Before the second income came in, Jiang Li almost counted on his fingers to spend the money. He had to have some extra money in his hands so that he wouldn't feel anxious.

Zhou Chunfeng held Jing Ge'er in his arms and looked quietly at his wife whose expression changed. He probably guessed that she was nervous about money, so he couldn't help but suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.

He never thought that Jiang Li was a person who would count his fingers to live his life. In terms of adaptability, Zhou Chunfeng knew that he could not compare with Jiang Li.

Finally, at the grain store, Jiang Li asked for the prices of millet, polished rice, brown rice, and white flour, comparing them and quickly calculating the costs in his mind. Millet cost 15 cents per liter, brown rice cost 5 cents per liter, polished rice cost 20 cents per liter, and white flour cost 100 cents per pound. Even unground ears of grain cost 15 cents per liter.

Jiang Li didn't want to let her stomach suffer, and she also felt sorry for the three hungry children at home, so she gritted her teeth and bought five liters of millet, ten dou of brown rice, and ten kilograms of white flour.

Then I thought that in a few days, the villagers who were off work during the farming season would come to my house to help build the house, and the villagers would help each other just to have one or two full meals.

So Jiang Li weighed another fifty catties of flour, with one catty costing fifty coins. Just buying these grains cost him a total of four taels.

Jiang Li felt a pang of pain in her chest and wanted to refuse to pay the debt. Would the shopkeeper agree?

In addition, Jiang Li also bought some seasonings, such as soy sauce, white vinegar, white sugar, brown sugar, salt, etc., and side dishes, star anise, fennel, red dates, dried chilies, etc., which made up for another one or two taels of silver.

After paying the silver, I only had the last five taels left. I was so panicked!

"Selling Feng characters~~"

"A bountiful harvest, a full granary, abundant harvest every year, selling the word 'Feng' on a big red background~, the price is fair~~"

Jiang Li and Zhou Chunfeng stood outside the grain store with their children, waiting for the shop assistant to carry the grain they bought onto the ox cart.

Because they bought a lot of food, the shopkeeper knew that they lived in Shilitun next door, so he was kind enough to ask the store's laborers to drive the delivery cart to deliver the food for free and take their family home on the way.

A merchant carrying a load on his shoulder was shouting as he walked. At first, the young couple didn’t understand what the word "Selling Feng" meant, until -

The owner of the grain shop was busy settling accounts with the customers in the store. Upon hearing this, he sent a clerk to intercept the merchant who was selling the Feng character outside.

"Hey hey hey, here, here~" The shop assistant ran to the door and waved to stop the merchant.

The peddler was a young man, smiling and carrying a load on his shoulder. "Brother, our shop needs the word 'Feng'. The 'Feng' characters I sell are the most neat and complete. I guarantee that there will be surplus every year, a good harvest every year, a booming business, and a constant flow of customers."

"Okay, okay, okay." The shop assistant was tired of hearing people flattering him, but he couldn't stand the flattery of merchants.

"How much do you sell your Feng character for?"

The traveling merchant quickly put down his carrying pole and picked up the bamboo winnowing basket covering the basket. Jiang Li leaned over to take a look.

【couplet?】

"Look, young man! The characters for 'Feng' I'm selling are guaranteed to be the best you've ever seen. They were written by a scholar from our village. A large 'Feng' costs three cents, a medium one costs two cents, and a small one cent. The prices are fair, and I'm honest."

The shop assistants each took one and said, "Please wait here. I'll ask the boss."

"Okay, okay." The merchant nodded with a smile on his face.

【It turns out you can make money by writing! 】

Jiang Li's eyes lit up and she looked up at the man beside her.

Zhou Chunfeng, who had the same thought in mind, lowered his eyes slightly, and their eyes met cunningly. Without much words, they could understand each other's thoughts with just one glance.

Jiang Li remembered that Zhou Chunfeng had excellent calligraphy skills. He had been seen showing off at the company's annual meeting.

As Zhou Chunfeng watched, he felt that Jiang Li seemed to dislike him.

Then, Jiang Li kindly asked the young merchant, "Young man, can I buy a small one?"

"Of course!" A penny is still money, who would mind if the money is a burden?

The traveling merchant picked up the "Feng" character on Xiao Zhang's bag with a smile, rolled it up and tied it with thin straw, and handed it forward with both hands.

"Brother and sister-in-law, our Feng character is well written. Why don't you buy a couple more? Look, the autumn harvest is coming soon. If you buy a Feng character and stick it on the rice jar, it will bring good luck and meaning throughout the year, right?"

Jiang Li smiled. "One is enough. We are a small family and don't have the space to store extra food. But I heard you say that it's harvest season soon. There must be many people buying the word 'Feng'. Unlike us, we can only give you a small piece."

"Oh~, no way, if my sister-in-law can help me with a penny, it's also a business deal, no matter how big or small the deal is." The young businessman said with a smile. This sentence made Jiang Li look at the young man in front of him differently, thinking that he was a good salesman.

The traveling merchant continued, "Selling characters for abundance is only this month all year round. Whether it's people in the city or in the countryside, everyone hopes for a good harvest. But I earn my money through hard work. I can only sell a few hundred a day if I run myself ragged."

Hundreds of them?

Jiang Li took a deep breath and looked back at Zhou Chunfeng.

The corners of Zhou Chunfeng's mouth twitched secretly, and his fingers felt sore in advance.
