Preparation before Chapter 217

The next day.

After lunch, Fat Miaoer, Compass and Liu Yeer came to the town to buy what they needed for Dragon Boat Festival.

"Boss Du, business is booming!"

The three of them came to the grain store, and the compass greeted the grain store owner.

"Oh! You are here." Boss Du said enthusiastically.

"What do you want to buy today?" Boss Du asked.

"Buy jiangmi!" Fat Miao'er replied.

Buy glutinous rice?

Boss Du was stunned, then reacted and asked, "Are you planning to make rice dumplings?"

"right!"

Fat Miao'er nodded.

Upon hearing this, Boss Du said embarrassedly: "We don't have jiangmi at home."

"No?"

The compass exclaimed.

Boss Du lowered his head and said in shame: "Glass rice is relatively expensive, and no one buys it normally. Only the Dragon Boat Festival can be sold, so my family..."

Nothing!

Fat Miaoer and others realized that the grain store was not large in size and was doing business from neighbors. It was normal not to sell glutinous rice.

"Does Boss Du know where to sell glutinous rice?" Fat Miaoer asked.

"The Wang family's grain store should be sold, and then the county's grain store." Boss Du thought for a while and replied.

"Thank you, Boss Du!" Fat Miao'er thanked him, and took Liu Ye'er's hand to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Boss Du called out to the three of them.

"Hmm?" Fat Miaoer and the other two turned their heads in surprise.

"How many kilograms do you want to buy? I just want to buy some for holidays. I can bring them back for you. The price is cheaper than what you buy." Boss Du explained.

"We want thirty kilograms."

The compass' eyes lit up when he heard this and quickly said the amount they wanted.

"so much?"

Boss Du looked puzzled. He thought that Pang Miaoer and the others only cost four or five pounds. After all, a pound of glutinous rice can make ten rice dumplings, and forty or fifty rice dumplings are enough for a family of food.

"We are going to give it to friends, so we have more packages."

Fat Miaoer explained that she did not say that they wanted to sell rice dumplings.

Boss Du said after pondering for a moment: "A pound is about twenty cents, and you will come to pick it up tomorrow."

"good!"

Fat Miaoer agreed without thinking about it. A pound of rice costs 30 cents, and 20 cents of glutinous rice is not expensive.

After leaving the grain shop, the four of them came to the embroidered clothes workshop, bought some cloth heads and colorful threads, and then went to Huichuntang, buying some cinnamon and star anise.

"Fat Miaoer, what are you buying these?"

Compass looked at the medicinal bag in Pang Miao'er's hand and asked curiously.

"secret!"

Fat Miao'er smiled mysteriously at him and put the medicinal bag into the backpack.

Fat Miao'er didn't want to say anything, and the compass was not asking. The three of them headed to the market to buy some colorful paper, dates, rice dumpling leaves and horse lotus grass.

"Fat Meow, let's catch some chicks and go back to raise them!"

After the three of them bought things, Liu Yeer looked at a stall selling chickens at the market and said.

"sure."

Fat Miaoer responded happily and thought to herself: The chicken coop in the new house is still empty. If it weren't for Liu Ye'er's reminder, she would have almost forgotten. She happened to meet her today and bought it back by the way.

"Then how many of them will we catch?"

The compass holding things in both hands asked, asking.

"The chicken coop in our new house is very big. I'm going to catch ten of them and raise them until winter to kill them to Grandpa Su and the others." Liu Ye'er replied.

After hearing this, Fat Miaoer and Fu Pan nodded and agreed to her suggestion.

...

the next day.

When Fat Miaoer got home from school, she saw Chunniang and Fang Zhu sitting on the kang.

"Aunt Fang, Aunt Wu, are you here?"

Fat Miaoer hung up her little schoolbag and greeted them with a smile.

Yesterday, after the three of them bought the goods, they sent a letter to Fang Zhu and asked her to come here today to help the staff. After all, she has been in a wealthy family in the city and knows a lot.

As for Chunniang, it was called by Fang Zhu when she came this morning. Anyway, she was bored at home alone, so she happened to come to visit her.

"Are you back?" Fang Zhu smiled and looked at Fat Miao'er and asked.

"Yes!" Fat Miao'er nodded and responded.

"Are you happy to learn from the dealer?" Chunniang, who was embroidered with a sachet in her hand, raised her head and asked.

Everyone in Dashi Village knows that Fat Miaoer goes to school, and Chunniang is no exception.

"Happy, Mr. Zhuang is very knowledgeable." Fat Miao'er raised her head with a proud look on her face.

Thanks to those old stubborn people who refused to accept her, she met Mr. Zhuang.

Through contact with Pang Miaoer these days, he found that no matter what strange questions she asked, Zhuang Zhe could answer them smoothly, which shows how profound his knowledge was.

“This colorful rope looks so good!”

Fat Miao'er walked to the side of the kang and was surprised to see a special colorful rope on the kang.

"This is made by Aunt Fang. I am learning it, but it's too complicated and I haven't learned it yet."

Liu Yeer lowered her head and said, looking at the colorful rope that was half-woven in her hand.

"It's okay, take your time, Ye'er has learned it very quickly."

Fang Zhu encouraged Liu Yeer.

"Aunt Fang, did you learn these in the Fucheng?"

Fat Miaoer picked up the woven colorful rope and looked at it carefully.

I saw that this colorful rope had a small ball at every distance. Each ball had a color, just five colors, and it echoed with the five-colored rope. It looked very beautiful, and its tail was not tied, but could be buckled together on both sides.

"Yes, these are very ordinary in the capital city, and many people will make up."

Fang Zhu said modestly.

Fat Miaoer brought the colorful rope in her hand and looked at Fang Zhu excitedly and said, "Aunt Fang, I want to learn too."

"good!"

Fang Zhu rubbed Fat Miao'er's head with a doting look on her face.

He continued: "Actually, this is nothing. It's very ordinary in the city. The colorful rope worn by the ladies from wealthy families is even more beautiful. They also have silver bells on it. When they raise their arms, they ring, which sounds very nice."

The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, and the fat Miao'er's eyes lit up.

They can also add silver bells to the colorful ropes. Although the cost is high, the price can be sold at a high price!

When racing dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival, the high-ranking officials and nobles in Yulin County will come, and those ladies from wealthy families will not care about this little money.

What is the most profitable thing to sell in modern times is of course a luxury product.

Wearing an ordinary colorful rope can earn a penny, and you can make a penny with a silver bell, which may make a hundred penny.

This is the packaging. The silver bells increase the grade and value of the colorful ropes, which is the same as modern gift boxes.

"Aunt Fang, can you weave those colorful ropes with silver bells?"

Fat Meower asked.

"Of course, it's not difficult, it's simpler than this." Fang Zhu said.

After hearing this, Fat Miaoer took off the colorful rope and placed it on the kang, turned around and left the house.

"Hey! Fat Miao'er has eaten in a while, you..."

This action made Liu Yeer unable to do so, so he spoke and told him to tell Fat Meower.

"I won't leave, go to the study."

Fat Miaoer said without looking back.

Fang Zhu and Chun Niang looked at each other and smiled at each other, and they all understood what Fat Meower meant.
