Kick out the general as soon as you are reborn

West city

Liu Yanyan was wearing a coarse linen dress and was walking on a small path in the West Market, following Yuzhu and Yuzhen.

Yuzhu frowned and fanned her nose in disgust, "Miss, why are we here?"

Liu Yanyan chuckled and said, "Call me sister, not Miss. You must have something to do here." After that, she led the two of them to the weathered old woman next to her and said, "Auntie, how much are these cabbages?"

The old lady wiped her hands awkwardly and said, "Girl, this cabbage is very fresh. Two pounds for one penny. If you want more, you can have it delivered to your home."

Liu Yanyan was shocked. It seemed that the people in the general's mansion had received a lot of kickbacks before! She nodded and said, "How much is this one?"

The old lady smiled and said, "A bunch of cabbage, two pounds, costs one penny."

Liu Yanyan took out the copper coins she had prepared long ago and handed them to the old lady. She took the cabbage with a smile and put it in Yuzhen's hand. "Sister, take it."

Yuzhen was so nervous that she said, "Xiao, okay, sister."

Liu Yanyan didn't care at all and pulled the two of them to the next stall, where there were some eggs in a basket.

Liu Yanyan looked at the thin man and asked, "How much are these eggs?"

The man coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice, "One penny each, six pennies per pound."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu, who nodded implicitly. Then she said, "One pound will do."

The man nodded, took out a few straw bags, put six eggs in them expertly, and said, "Okay, six cents."

Liu Yanyan's face froze, and she looked at Yuzhu uncertainly, "Sister, this is one cent each, the same as six cents per pound, why are you asking for different prices?"

Yuzhu smiled awkwardly, took the eggs from the man, gave him 6 coins, and replied as she walked away, "If you buy more, you'll get more eggs by the pound. If you buy less, there's no difference."

Liu Yanyan suddenly realized, "Is that so?" Then why did they buy so much in the past and the purchase price was so high? It was because the people below ate it.

Yuzhu looked at the young lady in confusion and said, "Young lady, why do you need to know all this? It's useless to you!"

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "I used to manage the shop, but it really didn't help much. If I pass the exam and become an official, I can't be ignorant and blind."

Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh, "Miss, you think too far, I thought you were just having fun."

Liu Yanyan smiled and said, "It's useful to know more about these things, otherwise you won't even know you've been deceived."

Yuzhu raised her head, looked at the young lady in awe, and said, "Young lady, it's not very useful for you to ask like this. Let me ask and sort it out and give it to you."

Liu Yanyan shook her head and said, "I should ask them one by one. Even if you are very careful, you won't remember everything." If something happens in the future, it will be a big deal.

Liu Yanyan brought Yuzhu and Yuzhen to the grocery store, looked at the price tags, and asked, "Why are the prices of rice and millet still so high?"

The waiter smiled and said, "Girl, it has been snowing heavily since the New Year, and it is just the beginning of spring, so the prices are high. Rice is 10 wen per jin, and millet is 8 wen per jin, which is already the lowest price in the city."

Liu Yanyan nodded, walked in, looked at the prices marked in the shop, memorized them one by one, until the end, when she saw a bag of snow-white rice and said, "What kind of rice is this, 20 cents a pound?"

The waiter said mysteriously, "This is tribute rice! They said it's for your majesty. This is all we have here, 20 coins per pound."

Liu Yanyan smiled and nodded, saying, "I'll buy 10 catties and go back to try it." Touching the rice, it looked exactly like the tribute rice, but wasn't the tribute rice 50 wen per catty? Did I remember it wrong? Or was this waiter just bragging?

The waiter smiled flatteringly, holding a sack and scooping rice with a bamboo tube, saying as he scooped rice, "Girl, you have good taste! Such good rice, take it home and try it, you can brag about it for the rest of your life."

Liu Yanyan chuckled, and waited for the waiter to scoop out the rice. She did not reach out to take it, but Yuzhen next to her took it and carried it on her shoulder. Yuzhen took the initiative to pay 200 coins.

When Liu Yanyan and the others left, the waiter smiled and walked them to the door before turning back, "Waves, waves, waves, waves, I made another fortune."

When Liu Yanyan heard this, she put on a smile as she left. It seemed that the profit was quite a lot. She waved her hand, and Yuzhen handed the rice to the servant who was following them from a distance, and they continued to move forward.

Liu Yanyan stood in front of an old cloth shop and observed for a while before walking in. She saw a plump proprietress leaning on the counter, drowsy, and she didn't wake up even when she approached.

Liu Yanyan coughed twice, and seeing that the boss lady hadn't woken up yet, she raised her hand and knocked on the counter helplessly, "Boss lady, wake up."

The plump proprietress then rubbed her eyes, squinted at the sight and said, "Little girl, if you want anything, feel free to take a look."

Liu Yanyan looked at the lazy proprietress and couldn't help but said, "Would you like to introduce yourself?"

The lady boss said, "We don't have many left. I haven't gotten any more stock yet. These are the ones on the shelf. If you like any of them, I'll give you a discount."

Liu Yanyan looked at the rough floral fabric and asked, "How much is one piece of this dyed floral fabric?"

The lady boss raised her eyebrows. She is an expert at goods! No wonder the delicate skin and tender flesh are so beautiful. "These are only slightly damaged, just in the corners. They are completely enough to make clothes. Besides, look how soft the material is! The ones that are not damaged cost 100 coins per piece. This one is 80 coins per piece."

Liu Yanyan touched it, and the rough touch made her subconsciously shake her head.

The lady boss thought it was still too expensive, so she couldn't help but say, "The lowest price is 78 cents a piece, otherwise please look somewhere else."

Liu Yanyan turned around and saw two maids, Yuzhu and Yuzhen, staring at the floral cloth in a daze. She nodded and said, "I want these two with more flowers and lighter colors."

Yuzhen happily took the cloth, and Yuzhu smiled and gave her 150 coins.

The lady boss counted and wanted to say something, then looked at Yuzhu's shrewd face and nodded, "Okay, 150 wen, that's 150 wen, don't tell anyone about this price! Otherwise, we won't be able to do business."

Liu Yanyan looked at Yuzhu with a smile, and Yuzhu said with a smile, "Okay, I won't tell anyone."

After several people walked out of the cloth shop, Liu Yanyan could still hear the sound of the proprietress happily counting money. She couldn't help laughing and muttered to herself, "So, a little over a hundred coins can make people so happy?"

Yuzhu smiled and said, "Miss, let's go quickly. You need to understand all the prices. There are still many shops to visit!" I don't need to know why you have to come by yourself. It's so tiring! You may not know all the prices even if you walk for a whole day.
