The Transmigrated Farm Girl's Journey to Wealth

A bolt of cotton cloth cost 500 wen, and a set of clothes for an adult would be about 12 feet long. Fang Xiaoning quickly selected several colors: one for her maternal family, one for her aunt's family, and one for her own family, to be distributed when they returned home. Li Shi also bought half a bolt of coarse cloth to make new clothes for her family.

"Boss, could you weigh out two more pounds of cotton for me? Leave it here for now, we can come back for it later, okay?"

When it gets warmer and the season is over, I'll buy more cotton and make more quilts and mattresses.

Fang Xiaoning didn't buy much fabric, so the shop owner was naturally happy with such a large transaction. "Alright, alright, just leave it here. If it's inconvenient, where are you? I can have my waiter deliver it to you later."

"No need, we'll come back later in a mule cart to pick it up."

Afterwards, she went to a dried goods store and bought melon seeds, sugar, peanuts, and pastries. She didn't buy any, as she planned to make them herself because the ones sold in the store were really too expensive.

"Sister, do you want to buy Spring Festival couplets, antithetical couplets, and firecrackers?"

"Oh right, I almost forgot. Remind me when you see this. What else do you want to buy?"

After thinking for a moment, Su said, "I want to buy some joss paper to visit Fengzi's father during the New Year."

"Okay, let's go visit Dad together during the New Year, and buy more joss paper."

"Yes, yes!" Madam Su was overjoyed. Her husband had been poor down there for so many years, and finally he could receive money and live a good life like her.

After thinking for a moment, Song Xiaogu said, "I want to go buy some rice and flour."

Where is Auntie?

"We'll go to the market later and see if we need anything. I can't think of anything right now." Li had just heard that there was a big market in the county town that had everything, and she was quite tempted.

Fang Youcai opened his mouth, about to speak, when Zhao glared at him. He felt wronged; these women were just strolling around while they kept nagging him. What time was it now? He was starving.

"Okay, let's eat first and then go."

She had eaten early in the morning and was already hungry.

"Honey, what shall we eat?"

Looking at the small stall ahead, Li thought, "Why don't I just buy two dark-colored steamed buns and eat them on the go?"

Fang Youcai wouldn't stand for it. He'd come all this way, only to be served two coarse flour buns. Was Li Shi really that stingy?

"Daughter..."

"Mom, what would you like to eat?"

"Anything is fine with me. It's my first time here, and I don't know what's good to eat."

Fang Xiaoning looked around. "Brother Feng, what shall we eat?"

Song Feng glanced around. "How about we go get some noodles? That stall makes really chewy noodles. Xiao Ning, we ate there last time, remember?"

"Okay, let's go get some noodles. It's cold, we should eat something warm. Come on, let's go get some noodles!"

Fang Youcai, who had assumed they would go out to eat, walked silently at the back, his face long, as if someone owed him money.

"Boss, one bowl of shredded pork noodles per person, with an egg poached in it."

"Come on!"

"Brother Feng, go buy some donkey meat sandwiches. One bowl of noodles isn't enough for everyone."

Song Feng got up to buy a donkey meat sandwich. He had never seen one sold in town; it was only available in the county seat. It must be delicious.

A baked bun costs 10 coins, one for each person. He bought 12. Passing by a steamed bun stall, he bought 15 large meat buns. There would definitely be enough for the children. But how could these men possibly be full with just one baked bun?

"Why did you buy so much? We can't finish it all!" Li Shi felt a headache coming on when she saw Song Feng spending money. These two kids seem to be so stingy. She had to talk to the head of the household about it when they got back, and give him a good talking-to when she had some free time. Money is meant to be saved, not wasted like this.

Seeing the steamed buns in Song Feng's arms, Song Chunni shared the same thought as the village chief's wife. She needed to talk to her sister-in-law; she couldn't always go along with them. Even if she earned a lot, she had to be frugal. There was still a long road ahead, and many more places to spend money!

"I wonder what the roasted meat tastes like? Let's try them all."

Fang Youcai took it, took a bite, and his mouth was full of donkey meat. "It's delicious! The flatbread is crispy and there's a lot of meat inside. It's really good!" It's just a little small; there's only one. But it's okay; there are also meat buns, which smell delicious.

The noodles arrived one after another. A bowl of noodles was quite a lot. After finishing their noodles, Song An and the children from Song Xiaogu's family couldn't eat any more baked buns, but they really wanted to try them. They had never eaten them before, and they found them very novel.

Fang Xiaoning knew their appetites very well. "Brother Feng, Shunzi, Dad, there's too much noodles in the kids' bowl. Can you help them eat some?"

"You can't finish this bowl of noodles?" Song Shunzi was stunned. It would only take him a few bites.

"They have small appetites, and once they finish eating, there's nowhere to burn the food."

Fine, they don't have enough to eat anyway. The group of people were quite perceptive and only took a portion of the noodles, leaving the shredded meat and eggs untouched.
