Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

An Yue turned around and glanced at the woman standing by the door, then smiled and said loudly, "Of course! She is the shopkeeper's wife, with good skills and good eyesight! She has walked more bridges than those people have walked!"

The woman standing at the door heard this, although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to say anything. She could only bite her lower lip and lower her head while picking at her fingernails.

"What a joke the little girl is! How dare an old woman brag about herself?"

After the shopkeeper had packed everything, he personally carried the packed clothes and sent the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to the door before he respectfully handed the package in his hand to An Yue.

He smiled and said again: "Miss, if you want to buy new clothes in the future, just come to my shop and find me."

An Yue smiled and nodded at the shopkeeper, and then the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren took their things and walked on the street one after another.

There are obviously fewer pedestrians on the street at this time.

At this time, my uncle and An Yue's stomachs rumbled at the same time.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai pointed at his stomach with an embarrassed and helpless look on his face, and said with a smile: "Oh! This..."

Grandfather pointed ahead and said, "Let's go! Let's go over there and buy some food to fill our stomachs."

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren turned back and came to a crossroads. An Yue was standing in the middle of the crossroads carrying a backpack.

Looking around the alleys, she saw rice shops, pawn shops, teahouses, grocery stores, and post stations. She memorized all kinds of shops on the street.

Right next to the intersection, there is a dry food shop.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai walked over, handed over a copper coin and called out, "Boss, give me three sorghum cakes."

"Okay! Sir, please wait a moment!"

After taking the sorghum cakes, the three of them ate them while walking towards the main road, while An Yue turned around and looked around.

An Yue still has some memories of this town in her mind, for example, the relatively conspicuous and iconic buildings look somewhat familiar.

But this familiarity is limited to remembering the general direction of the main road, and I have no idea about other streets and alleys.

Uncle Jiang Chenghai chewed sorghum cakes and said, "I wonder how the mountain products sold by Kaizi and his wife are doing?"

Grandfather said, "They should be at the left front turn."

"Dad, how about we go check on them?"

The mountain products were sold out very early, and seeing his granddaughter An Yue earn so much money all of a sudden, grandfather Jiang Wuwen was in a very good mood. He nodded in agreement.

After turning the corner, Jiang Chenghai saw Zhang Kai and his wife from afar. He walked towards them quickly, taking two steps at a time.

At this time, An Yue said, "Grandfather, you and uncle go find Uncle Kai first and wait there for a while. Yueyue wants to go somewhere else."

Grandfather Jiang Wuwen smiled dotingly and reminded: "Little clever boy, you have many tricks up your sleeve. Go! Go! Remember to be careful!"

Afterwards, An Yue carried the backpack and walked in another direction.

Zhang Kai looked at Jiang Chenghai walking towards him and asked in surprise: "Ah Hai? Have you sold out?"

Jiang Chenghai nodded proudly and said, "Yes! You two, a man and a woman, work together without getting tired. How are the sales today?"

Li looked a little discouraged. She wiped the knife with a rough cloth and said, "You are the only one who talks too much! Here... there are still some left that haven't been sold!"

Jiang Chenghai said with a wicked smile: "Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful, if you just stand there and call out tenderly, the goods might be sold out long ago."

"Come here, kid! Your sister-in-law wants you to see something." Li gestured with the knife in her hand and said with a wicked smile.

Zhang Kai raised his foot and pretended to kick Jiang Chenghai, and said with a smile: "You bad guy! You are making fun of your sister-in-law again."

Jiang Chenghai stepped back with a smile and said, "Brother...! Brother...! I was wrong. I won't do it again! I won't do it again!"

Zhang Kai smiled and turned around, returning to his original position. Jiang Chenghai also turned around and rushed forward, raising his hand to Zhang Kai's shoulder and asked, "Brother, when are you two going to come back?"

Zhang Kai frowned and replied, "There is still so much meat. We can't store it if we take it home. It's still early now. Let's wait and see. We'll sell as much as we can."

An Yue walked alone and came to a big shop called "Shijing Zaofang".

After entering the shop, An Yue turned around and looked around. There were all kinds of pottery jars on display, large and small, including four large jars.

A clerk dressed in dark coarse cloth was walking towards An Yue with a smile on his face, and asked, "What would you like to buy, young lady?"

"Hey, sir, do we have salt and vinegar in our shop?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Please follow me, girl. This way..."

An Yue and the waiter walked to a large jar and asked, "How much is salt and vinegar per pound?"

The waiter pointed to the price on the jar and said, "Salt is thirty cents a pound, and vinegar is twenty cents a pound. How much do you want to buy, young lady?"

An Yue thought that she could buy more salt and store it, as it wouldn’t go bad anyway. She could skip oil for a meal, but definitely not salt.

"Then give me five pounds of salt and two pounds of vinegar."

"Okay! Did the girl bring the can?"

An Yue was very surprised. It turned out that in this era, one had to bring one's own utensils to buy salt and vinegar.

She shook her head and said, "No, no... no."

"The big jar is six cents, the small jar is four cents, would you like to buy it, young lady?"

An Yue nodded and then walked towards the checkout counter.

The waiter quickly put the salt and vinegar into jars and walked towards the counter with a jar in each hand.

"Calculate the total amount."

The accountant tapped on his abacus: "Five catties of salt cost one hundred and fifty coins, two catties of vinegar cost forty coins, and two jars cost ten coins in total."

"Miss, the total is two hundred coins."

An Yue took out two hundred coins from her bosom and handed them to the accountant, while the clerk helped An Yue put the two jars gently into her backpack.

An Yue carried the backpack on her back, walked out of the wine shop, and prepared to meet her grandfather and uncle.

She counted as she walked. She earned more than thirty taels of silver today. She spent sixty-six coins on buying a coat for An Nian, and another one tael of silver on buying the salt and vinegar.

If I hadn't sold the secret recipe for stewed fish, the little money I had would not have been enough to spend just by selling fish, wild vegetables and garlic.

As I was walking, I happened to pass by the tailor shop where I had just bought clothes.

An Yue thought about it, now that her mother and father were no longer alive, fortunately she had her grandparents and uncle to take her in during these most difficult days.

Normally, my grandparents are reluctant to buy clothes for themselves, but since it’s almost the end of the year, I might as well buy each of them a new set of clothes.

Anyway, when my grandfather and uncle came back, the basket was empty.

So, An Yue came to [Li's Tailor Shop] again.

The shopkeeper's wife saw An Yue enter the shop, thinking that she was looking for her to change clothes: "Miss, what is this...?"

An Yue smiled and explained, "Madam Shopkeeper, I'm not here to change clothes with you this time. I'm thinking of buying a few more sets of clothes."
