Reincarnation and Rebirth
Chapter 35 The feeling of spending money
Since ancient times, women have loved beauty and shopping. However, modern women don't shop on the streets, but rather on various shopping apps on their phones. Su Wan'er is no exception; she wants to buy whatever she can get her hands on.
Looking at the sky, it had been about 45 minutes since Chen left, so I had to hurry up and buy something.
Avoiding the street where Chen's shop was located, Su Wan'er went to another general store and bought seasonings such as oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar. She also bought some bowls and chopsticks, two earthenware pots, and a clay pot. Since she still had rice and flour left from her future exchanges, Su Wan'er decided not to buy any more and went directly to the carpenter's shop. In this era, stone mills were used to husk rice and wheat, which Su Wan'er found extremely time-consuming and laborious. She planned to have two rice buckets and a rice huller made at the carpenter's shop, and of course, a stone mill would also be necessary.
The carpenter in the shop frowned as he looked at the blueprints Su Wan'er handed him and said, "Miss, I've never seen this before. What is it? It's very strange."
"I came up with this myself. See if you can do it." Seeing that Su Wan'er didn't want to say more, the man stopped asking. After looking at her for a while, he said, "It can be done, but it will take a bit of time."
"about how long?"
The master held out one palm. "About five days."
"Alright, how much silver?"
"This looks simple, but you have too many small items. Uh, two taels of silver in total, is that alright?"
Su Wan'er felt a little sorry for him, but she also knew how hard it was for craftsmen. "Okay, I'll come and pick it up in five days. Do you have a stone mill in your shop?"
“Young lady, you need to buy a stone mill at an iron shop; we don’t have any here.”
Su Wan'er turned around and went to the ironware shop. She not only bought the largest stone mill in the shop, but also some farm tools such as shovels and hoes. When she left, she also took two large iron pots and three small iron pots with her. The total cost was five taels and three qian. There was no way around it. Ironware was a luxury item in ancient times and was controlled by the imperial court. If there was a war later, these things would be even more expensive.
Of course, Su Wan'er couldn't buy too much, otherwise she would have to register it with the government, which would be too troublesome.
As usual, I found a secluded spot to pack everything up before returning the car to the pharmacy.
On her way back to the market, Su Wan'er passed by an embroidery shop. She looked at her tattered clothes and thought that if winter really came, she would probably freeze to death even if she didn't starve. So she went in and bought a bunch of cotton and cotton cloth. Then she went to the clothing shop next door and bought a set of fine cotton clothes. Su Wan'er also prepared clothes and shoes for her younger brother and sister-in-law. It felt so good to spend money.
After putting everything away, it was already high in the sky. Su Wan'er secretly prayed that Madam Chen wouldn't go back so soon.
Her pleas were ultimately not heard by God. When Su Wan'er arrived, she saw Chen Shi with a joyful expression.
However, when Chen saw Su Wan'er appear again, the smile on her face froze, as if she had seen a ghost. "You, what are you doing here?"
Su Wan'er blinked. "Auntie, what are you talking about? I've already sold all my eggs. Look, the market's closed. When I saw that you hadn't come back, I thought I'd go look for you, but I got lost and had to come back here to wait for you."
Fortunately, I was quick-witted; the market had indeed almost completely closed, and there was no one left near the spot where I had been selling eggs.
"Where's the egg? You... where's the egg?"
"Sold out." Su Wan'er smiled gently.
"Where's the money?" Chen's face turned completely dark. Could it be that Gou Chengcai still didn't like Su Wan'er? There was no reason for that. The red marks on the girl's face had faded, and even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that the girl was very pretty.
Su Wan'er chuckled to herself, "A total of forty eggs, sold for 60 copper coins, they're all here." Su Wan'er handed over the copper coins she had prepared earlier.
Mrs. Chen counted the eggs with a dark face. Seeing that the number was correct, she was so angry that her teeth itched. This girl was really capable. Usually, when she came out to sell eggs, she could only sell a dozen or so a day at most. There was no way around it; there were too many country people selling eggs on this street, which made it difficult to sell eggs. Sometimes, even eggs priced at three copper coins for two were considered too expensive.
But the villagers themselves were reluctant to eat it. In the end, when they really couldn't bear to leave it, even if they sold it at a low price, they wouldn't eat it all.
The main problem is that this brat sold them all. How can I keep any for myself? Usually, when she goes home, she'll say she accidentally broke one or two, and the old lady will scold her a few times and that's it. But now, not a single one is left. This girl knows she received sixty coins, so she'll say that she can't get a single one back. She's furious.
Not knowing what was going on with the Gou family, and seeing that it was getting late, they realized they would miss lunch if they didn't go back soon. Helpless, they had no choice but to angrily take Su Wan'er back to Suhe Village.
When Grandma Su learned that all the eggs had been sold, she held sixty coins and smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared.
"Oh, it's true what they say, a vixen makes things easier. She just casually sold them all out." Su Hehua leaned against the door frame and said sarcastically.
Su Wan'er wasn't going to tolerate it, "Has your aunt ever sold anything?"
Before Su Hehua could react, Xiang Shi, who was watching the commotion at the fourth house's door, chuckled.
"You filthy slut, you little whore, what are you saying?"
"I was just repeating what my aunt said, so what's wrong with that?"
Su Youfu suddenly came out of the room. "Ms. Chen, why are you so late?"
Seeing that her words had been interrupted by her elder brother, Su Hehua glared angrily at Su Wan'er, then swayed her plump hips as she went back to her room. Just you wait, you brat, let's see how long you can keep up your arrogance.
Chen glanced at her husband and gave him a look, and the two of them went back to their room to discuss it.
It was nothing more than scheming against oneself, and Su Wan'er had no interest in knowing. She hadn't seen the three children all morning and wondered if they had been bullied.
Strange, why am I taking this kid seriously after only three days? It must be because of the original owner's influence, yes, that must be it.
Madam Wang was cooking in the kitchen, Xiang'er was tending the fire, and Zhao'er was still taking care of Su Ming. Nothing had changed in this family. Previously, Su Wan'er had always helped in the kitchen, but since the time travel, she had become lazy and idle. Madam Wang was somewhat afraid of her eldest daughter, so Su Xiang'er had taken over her older sister's duties.
The other members of the Su family don't care who cooks or does the chores, as long as it's not them doing it.
"Zhao'er, Ming'er, your eldest sister is back."
"Miss..."
"Sister, hehe, sister..." Su Ming smiled and stretched out his hands to Su Wan'er. The two words he had said most often these past two days were "sister" and "eat." This was probably related to his long-term interaction with his sisters, but it was better to say something than nothing.
"Oh, was Ming'er a good boy today?" Su Wan'er picked up the little guy, gently rubbed his neck, and made him giggle.
"Zhao'er, no one bullied you today, right?"
Su Zhao'er shook her head, "My eldest sister told us to try not to go out. Today I just played with Ming'er in the room. Grandma told me to go out and cut pig feed, but my second sister went instead."
"Okay, go close the door."
Su Zhao'er's eyes lit up, and she obediently ran over to close the door.
Turning around, I saw that the older sister had magically produced a chicken leg and two eggs.
"Big sister, where did you come from?" Su Zhao'er asked excitedly in a low voice.
"The eggs were wild eggs I picked up last time. I managed to cook them. This roasted chicken leg is what I got by exchanging the remaining wild eggs for silver."
Children are easily fooled; even though Su Wan'er's words were full of holes, they still believed her.
"Shall we wait for Second Sister?"
"No need, I saved some for my second sister. You can have this." Su Wan'er didn't dare let them eat too much, otherwise they might give themselves away at the dinner table.
"Has the eldest sister eaten?"
"I've already eaten, hurry up, don't let them find out."
Fortunately, their location is close to the kitchen and woodshed, so the Su family usually doesn't go near this area. Otherwise, the chicken legs would smell so good that it would be easy for them to detect the aroma.
Su Wan'er tore off a small piece of chicken leg meat and carefully fed it to Su Ming, while Zhao'er ate the rest. After finishing the chicken leg, Su Wan'er ate the egg, then took out a small handful of wild grass, crushed it, and smeared it on the wall of the room.
Su Zhao'er pinched her nose, "What is that, big sister? It stinks."
Little Su Ming imitated his third sister, saying, "Stinky, stinky."
