"Father will buy you a new set of clothes." Bai Chengzhi looked at her and said: "Your mother said that we can't make it out of cloth that we picked up. You're going to get married in half a month, there's no time."
White Grass was somewhat surprised. So it turned out that her father wasn't completely brainless. He even knew that it was too late to pick up the cloth.
"Fifty?" White Grass stared at him with wide eyes. How could it be so expensive? She didn't know how many clothes she could make with a foot of cloth, but if she had to spend a few hundred dollars on just a single piece of clothes, then she, granny, would not be able to afford it at all.
After the light shone in, the servant walked in and said, "The cloth inside is not bad. It's just that the water has flooded quite a bit a few days ago, so these cloth are useless." Since you guys want it, I'll give it to you guys at a cheaper price. "
White Grass slightly frowned. How could such a strong smell of mold possibly be drowned out?
"Come and see, the cloth is still good." The servant lifted up a grey cloth with two fingers and placed it in front of them. "Look, the quality is still acceptable. Wearing it for three to five years won't be a problem."
The white grass looked at the cloth that was covered with grayish-black marks and gave off a weird smell, and frowned. It was no wonder that the boss didn't want this cloth. Wearing it would probably make him sick.
"I'll count you guys into ten." The shop assistant saw them looking at him and said.
"Ten words!" The white grass was stunned. This cloth that no one would ever want was actually so expensive?
"Of course, of course." Seeing that the waiter was getting impatient, Bai Chengzhi quickly said some good words.
When had Bai He ever seen such a cloth? The germs on it were enough for her, how could she dare to wear it? What if she got sick?
But right now, she had no other choice. She could only temporarily continue like this. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Father, I want to buy some rouge!"
Bai Chengzhi looked at her in surprise and said, "What rouge? These are all useless."
"But when I get married, I'll definitely need rouge." Bai He continued to persevere.
"You are truly stingy. You aren't even willing to buy your daughter Yanzhi." The waiter, who was listening to them, quickly ridiculed them.
Bai He looked at her father silently. She still had not thought of a way to earn money, so this was probably the only way.
People ate like the heavens, how could they earn money? Eating was the best way to eat.
Furthermore, during the time when Bai He was sick, when she had nothing to do, she had learned a lot of delicious food.
"Sigh, take it, take it." Seeing that, Bai Chengzhi took out a hundred gold and gave it to Bai He.
Bai He was startled, she looked at him, that small pinch of salt was worth two hundred gold, what could a hundred gold buy?
"Truly petty." The waiter saw him holding the money and counting it, he quickly said.
Seeing that, Bai He could only accept it.
"Dad, then I'll go first." White Grass took the hundred coins and left.
"Hai." Bai Chengzhi wanted to call out to her, but he didn't have the chance.
Bai He didn't want to keep following her, she had to think of ways to earn money. With Bai Chengzhi following her, there was nothing she could do.
Plus, if he was too bold, he would definitely expose himself.
Holding the money, she began to ponder. What exactly was there that could be used to make fruits in the space?
After walking all the way to the bazaar, the white grass started to observe her surroundings. There were quite a few things here. She looked around while asking about the price.
The most expensive thing here should be the salt, since it belonged to the Shangguan family.
Bai He understood that, but the other things were not expensive, other than those that cared about people.
Like the cloth, and then the rouge.
"How much is this rouge?" Bai He wanted to buy some cheaper deals as he wanted to deduct some money to use as compensation.
"Three hundred coins!" The boss looked at her and said.
Bai He was stupefied when she heard the price she was talking about.
Three hundred coins? This looked like the worst kind.
Could you be any more deceitful?
"I can't afford it, don't look at it if I can't afford it!" Seeing that Bai He was frozen on the spot, the boss immediately grabbed the rouge in her hands and wiped it with his hands as he recited.
Bai He immediately lost the thought of buying rouge.
He had to think of a way to cover his past.
"Steamed Bun, Steamed Bun, 1 gold coin!" The boss of the bun house shouted loudly.
Bai He looked over and asked: "Boss, is this a meat bun or a vegetable bun?"
"Of course it's the dish bag. The meat bag has to be three pieces of paper." The boss of the bun house said.
Bai He nodded and said: "Boss, give me a meat bun."
The boss immediately wrapped a meat bun in a piece of paper and handed it to her.
Bai He counted three copper coins and passed it to the owner, while taking a bite, she almost vomited. This steamed bun did not have any taste, it was even sold for three coins!
Forget it, since I'm already here, I might as well settle things here. These ugly things are actually an opportunity.
Bai He's eyes were about to light up.
Holding the remaining 90 odd coins, Bai He went to the candy store.
"Boss, how much is the sugar sold for?" Bai He looked at the boss and asked.
"One packet of Sugar ten pennies." The boss told her.
Bai He nodded her head, she extended her hand and weighed the sugar bag, the weight was not bad, she took out the ten pennies and gave it to the owner, saying: "Thank you."
The boss thought for a moment before stuffing her with some canister sugar and said, "Try it. Come back and buy more from now on."
Bai He thanked him as she pinched the air a little. This boss sure knew how to do business.
After saying a few words, the white grass picked up the sugar and continued walking.
She had already spent a copper coin, so it was impossible for her to pay. Thinking about it, she could only think of a way to buy some other things and muddle through.
When she thought about how she had only bought these few things to make her dowry, she felt extremely uncomfortable. She really didn't know what to say.
Her granny was too stingy, she had no choice.
Bai He walked forward, thought for a moment, then walked into a shop that sold red paper.
"Boss, let me see this piece of paper." she cried out.
The boss looked at her suspiciously and asked, "Can you write? You still want to buy paper? "
"Don't spout nonsense, my writing is first-rate!" White Grass looked at him and said, "If you don't believe me, bring a brush!" The things that he had learnt during his days of nursing were now of use.
Bai He did not know the words used, but after thinking about it, without stopping, she took the brush from the owner and wrote a large fire character on it!
"How is it?" Bai He's calligraphy was rather pretty, but when she looked at the neat and proper calligraphy, the boss couldn't help but clap her hands, and said: "I didn't know that you're a talented girl."
Bai He laughed and said: "If that's the case, then why don't you give me the words that I write?"
Seeing this, the boss shook his head and said, "This paper is expensive."
"But I've already come to dirty it." Bai He originally had this goal, but now that the boss was unable to sell it, she could bring the piece of paper over.
The boss looked at the dirty red paper and sighed. "Fine. Considering that you're a talented girl, I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, boss." Bai He took the red paper and ran out.
With red paper, she would be able to disguise herself as rouge.
She thought for a moment, then walked to a shop and picked up some small items. In the end, she was going to get married off to someone, so she couldn't possibly treat herself badly.
Her granny should not prepare a dowry for her, she must definitely prepare it well.
Otherwise, she would definitely be ridiculed by others. Thinking of this, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
Make money, make money!
"It's all right," she said, and walked back with her load. Her father would still be waiting for her.
"Xiao He, you're finally back." Seeing Bai He, Bai Chengzhi finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Boss Bai, are you really worried that your daughter will be lost? Look, isn't she already back?" The uncle beside him said to him.
Bai He nodded her head, and said: "Father, I am going to buy some things. Take a look at this, it is the most beautiful piece of jewelry." Bai He took out a rock and showed it to her father.
Bai Chengzhi looked at her and asked: "How much is this?"
"One gold coin for one. I bought ten. When the time comes, they'll be very pretty." Bai He said as she took out a stone that she had picked up from the ground.
Bai Chengzhi's eyes widened as he looked at Bai He and said: "You actually bought ten?"
"Didn't granny say he would buy me a dowry?" Bai He said: "There is no need for these, my daughter will definitely be bullied."
Hearing her words, Bai Chengzhi had no other choice. After all, there was some truth to this matter, a girl without dowry would definitely be bullied by others. Furthermore, Bai He was not a very pretty type of girl.
Seeing that he had already lied to his father, Bai He relaxed and said: "Father, don't worry about it. I will tell granny about it when the time comes."
"I was afraid that you, granny, would get angry." If these five ten pennies bought a bunch of unknown items, the White Sun family would definitely be angry.
Bai He shook her head and said: "granny will not be angry, this stone …" "Cough, cough."
I almost leaked it.
"The boss has said it's jade. It's so pretty. I heard it's shipped from the capital, where it can be sold for one tael of silver." Bai He opened her eyes wide and lied.
Hearing her words, Bai Chengzhi immediately asked: "Really? Did he say that? "
