The young man looked over and saw the happy atmosphere over there. He finally nodded and took the things Lin Chuyi gave him.

He didn't care whether Lin Chuyi's medicine was poisonous or not. He poured out two pills and swallowed them. Then he started eating the buns in big mouthfuls.

Suddenly, he noticed two taels of silver sandwiched between a few buns. His eyes flashed, but he said nothing and continued to wolf down the buns.

After he finished the last bite of the bun and everyone else looked away, the young man quietly hid the silver.

Lin Chuyi waited for them to say goodbye before leading them out of the temple and heading towards the county town.

Jinbao only realized that her buns were missing after she left the temple.

"Where's Baozi?" Jinbao looked at Yinbao with empty hands in disbelief.

Yin Bao pointed at Lin Chuyi and said, "She took it away."

Jin Bao looked towards Lin Chuyi.

Lin Chuyi spread his hands and said, "Your Grandpa Yu is about to die. I used the remaining buns to have someone arrange your Grandpa Yu's funeral. If you are not satisfied, you can go back and ask that person to return the buns. Maybe you can get one or two back."

Jin Bao's eyes turned red when she heard this. She wasn't crying for a few buns, she just didn't expect that Grandpa Yu, who had just recovered some spirit, was about to die.

He was clearly talking to them just now, how could he suddenly die? Yinbao sensed that Jinbao was in a bad mood, so she walked up to her, patted her on the back, and stood beside her in silence.

Lin Chuyi's mind-reading ability sensed the two children's psychological activities at this moment and he nodded in his heart.

Jinbao and Yinbao have completely different personalities, but they both truly treat each other as family, which means that they are each other's weaknesses. As long as they are managed properly, these two people may be able to take on big responsibilities.

Lin Chuyi thought so in her heart, and when the two of them recovered, she led the people towards the county town.

During this period, Lin Chuyi would bring people back to the house from time to time.

The people brought back by Lin Chuyi, no matter whether they were male or female, old or young, all looked frail, with dishevelled hair and ragged clothes.

Jin Manlou saw that those people were all of similar size, so he simply bought a batch of clothes of similar sizes just in case.

However, the people Lin Chuyi has brought back so far are all over thirteen years old, which is enough to be considered adults in ordinary families.

Lin Chuyi had never considered children as young as Jinbao and Yinbao before, but this time he made an exception.

That is why there were no suitable clothes for them in the house.

This place belongs to Qingshui County, and is some distance away from Qingping County where Lin Chuyi's house is located.

With the addition of Jinbao and Yinbao, Lin Chuyi's small goal of twenty people in the first phase of his talent introduction plan has been achieved, so Lin Chuyi is no longer in a hurry to travel.

She planned to take them to the county's garment store to buy clothes first, let them wash them thoroughly, rest for a day, and then set off back to Qingping County tomorrow.

Lin Chuyi brought Jinbao and Yinbao to the main street of Qingshui County and walked into a shop called Hongji Cloth Shop.

Jinbao and Yinbao followed Lin Chuyi into the store. They were not rejected or driven away by the store clerks, but they inevitably received the attention of the store clerks.

While the clerk enthusiastically invited Lin Chuyi to go and look at the fabrics, he kept keeping an eye on Jin Bao and Yin Bao out of the corner of his eye, as if he was afraid that they would touch the fabrics in the store carelessly and dirty them.

It was the first time for Jinbao and Yinbao to enter a clothing store since they were little. They were already feeling a little nervous, and they felt even more uncomfortable when being stared at by the clerk.

Suddenly, a five-liang silver ingot appeared in front of the waiter's eyes, and the waiter's eyes were forcibly shifted away from the two children.

"Take me to see ready-made clothes, the kind that will suit both of them."

Lin Chuyi knew that the two were very uncomfortable here and didn't want to waste any more time here, so he planned to end the battle quickly.

"Okay, please come this way."

Although the guy didn't understand what the relationship between the girl in front of him and the two beggars was, rich people are the boss, and she has the final say.

The clerk quickly led them to the ready-made clothing area. These days, ordinary families were reluctant to buy ready-made clothes for their children. They would buy fabrics and make them themselves. The ready-made clothes that could be displayed in the cloth shop were all supplied to the wealthy merchants, so the prices were naturally not cheap.

Lin Chuyi bought two sets of clothes for each of them, as well as some shoes and socks to wear inside, which cost her a total of one or two taels of silver.

Jinbao didn't care much about money, she just thought the new clothes looked nice, but Yinbao was always paying attention to Lin Chuyi's actions.

When Yinbao heard the clerk tell Lin Chuyi that these things would cost a total of one or two taels of silver, he opened his mouth and wanted to refuse out loud, but in the end he just lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The two of them were dirty, and Lin Chuyi didn't intend to ask them to change into new clothes on the spot.

Lin Chu quickly slapped away Jin Bao's eager hand.

"Don't move now. Wear it after it's clean."

"Oh……"

Lin Chuyi glanced at the depressed Jinbao, paid the money, picked up the packaged new clothes, and led the two of them out of Hongji Cloth Shop.

"Come on, I'll take you to buy buns."

Jinbao became excited upon hearing this, and pulled Yinbao to follow Lin Chuyi closely.

Lin Chuyi in front slightly curled the corners of his mouth and said, "Little guy, I can't control you."

Soon several people arrived at the bun stall.

"What would you like to order, sir?" the stall owner greeted the customer warmly.

"Give me four meat buns and four vegetarian buns."

"Okay." The stall owner deftly opened the steamer, quickly picked up eight large buns from the steaming steamer, packed the two types of buns separately in two oil paper bags, and handed them to Lin Chuyi.

"Thank you for your patronage. Twelve coppers in total."

Lin Chu handed the counted copper coins to the stall owner and took the paper bag from him.

The stall owner took the money and said cheerfully: "Take care, I'll come back next time."

Lin Chuyi nodded to the shopkeeper, turned around and handed the paper bag to Jinbao and Yinbao.

"Take it and eat it."

Jin Bao took the oil paper bag and smiled at Lin Chuyi with his teeth showing.

Yinbao didn't expect that she would also get a share of the buns. She was silent for a moment, then reached out to take another oil-paper bag.

When Lin Chu saw them take the oil paper bags, he shifted his gaze away from them and began to look at the surrounding shops.

At this time, Monkey Three, who was hiding from the sun at the corner of the street, poked the fat man who was resting with his eyes closed beside him.

Although the fat man is called fat man, he is thinner than Monkey Three. He came out early in the morning and hasn't earned a penny yet. Now he is hungry and hot. Thinking that he won't be hungry after falling asleep, he leans against the wall and takes a nap.

The fat man had finally managed to feel a little sleepy, but after being knocked around by Monkey Three, all his sleepiness disappeared. He was already in a bad mood, and now he became even more irritable.
