Bai Shi took the jade hairpin and did not put it down. He directly asked for the price and handed it over to the owner.

Hearing his words, Bai He didn't know how to react. She thought for a bit, then said: "Actually, we really didn't have to pay such a price before."

As Bai He held onto the jade hairpin, she was at a loss as to what to do. Bai Shi's attitude was a little strange, did he really treat him as her wife? No, it definitely could not be like this.

Bai He curled her lips. She did not know what the hell he was thinking, but she still said actively: "Mn, let's go find Fifth Lord Zhou."

Bai Shi nodded.

Bai He walked in front and followed the news she got from the owner. After walking through a few streets, she finally arrived at a small courtyard that looked old.

The small courtyard didn't have any signboard, so Bai He was a little unsure. Seeing that there were people coming and going, he asked around, and confirmed that this small courtyard that seemed to be extremely shabby actually really did belong to that so called "Fifth Lord Zhou" who did not lack money.

"Snap." She knocked on the door and prayed that the Fifth Lord Zhou was still there and would not let her come here for nothing.

After waiting for a while, there was the sound of the door opening and closing suddenly. Bai He heaved a sigh of relief, looks like this Fifth Lord Zhou was at home.

He looked to be about fifty years old, and seemed to be more like a man who was farming in the countryside. He looked dark and thin, and there was no way he could guess that this person was here to collect rent.

After all, he seemed to be the one in charge of all the shops on the street.

"Hello, are you Fifth Lord Zhou?" Bai He asked politely.

The man nodded, his tone flat and indifferent. "Is there something you need?"

Upon hearing that he had revealed his identity, Bai He relaxed and revealed his reason for coming here: "Hello, I'm here to look for you. I want to buy a stall."

"You?" Fifth Lord Zhou looked up and down at Bai He.

Bai He nodded her head, and said: "Yes, I previously sold some food at a small place, but now I want to find a fixed place." Right now, she really couldn't afford a better one. She could only develop it step by step.

First, he had to find a stall.

Fifth Lord Zhou opened the door and stood out, saying, "Alright, you can rent it. How long do you want to rent it for?"

Bai He did not expect him to be so easy-going, and said: "We should be renting it for half a year, so can't you make it cheaper?"

Fifth Lord Zhou looked at her and said, "Rents are 100 gold coins per month. If you want to rent it for half a year, you need to pay 500 gold coins. The stalls on the street are very popular. "

Bai He's calculations made the five ten pennies cheap, but she could still take it out. She nodded and said: "Alright, fifty coins is fifty coins."

The Fifth Lord Zhou saw that she was straightforward, and said: "That booth was previously a lantern seller, it's business was not good, and some things were even left behind when you left. If you were to go over, and see if there is anything that you need, you can use it."

Bai He thanked him, looked towards the Fifth Lord Zhou, thought for a while, and said: "I wonder if we can put down a contract?" There was no contract here, but it was quite necessary.

Fifth Lord Zhou looked at her and said, "Alright."

After he finished speaking, he brought Bai He and Bai Shi in.

The interior of the house was as shabby as this small courtyard. It did not look like the house owner had said it was free of money.

Bai He was a little surprised, but he did not ask further. Seeing that Fifth Lord Zhou had taken out a piece of paper, he said: "I hope you can write down the time when I rented this booth, when I paid for it, and so on."

Fifth Lord Zhou looked at Bai He in shock, and then his eyes fell on Bai Shi, as though he was wondering why Bai He was the one in charge of this whole thing.

Bai He saw that he was not writing, and immediately urged him: "Fifth Lord Zhou, hurry up, we still need to go home later."

When the Fifth Lord Zhou heard her, he nodded and said, "Alright."

While the Fifth Lord Zhou was writing, Bai He was reading on the side. It wasn't difficult to recognize the words here, they were basically words similar to traditional Chinese characters, so to Bai He, it wasn't as though she had become illiterate.

Bai He smiled, but suddenly remembered that she did not have a very good background. If she was discovered, it would be bad, so she said: "Ah, it's because my mother learnt a few words and taught me how to read them, that's why I know her."

Fifth Lord Zhou was not surprised, but said: "So that's how it is, I really couldn't tell." Bai He's coarse clothes had already been washed to the point where they turned white. It could be seen that she was definitely from a poor family, yet, looking at her knowledgeable appearance, it was natural that she did not expect this.

However, he also thought that perhaps it was because of the decline of some family that they suffered in such a manner. This was not certain.

Then he understood.

Bai He didn't know what he was guessing, she repeatedly looked at the documents, then carefully pointed out some loopholes and got the Fifth Lord Zhou to sign it. And she had given her own name.

As for Bai Shi, who was watching from the side, he felt that it was a little strange, he could actually recognize all these words!

"Fifth Lord Zhou, then I will move to that stall tomorrow. Is there a problem?" Bai He asked again.

Fifth Lord Zhou nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will be there tomorrow. When they see me, they'll know that I let the stall to you. "

With Fifth Lord Zhou's guarantee, Bai He relaxed, thanked him, and then left with Bai Shi.

Walking out of the door, Bai He saw Bai Shi, who had his head lowered thinking about something, and asked: "Bai Shi, what's wrong? Why aren't you leaving? "

Bai Shi looked at her and said: "Bai He, I know these words."

Bai He was startled for a moment, but after thinking for a moment, she replied: "Of course you can read. Back then, when the village chief picked you up, she said that the clothes you were wearing were not bad."

Many people knew about this. The village chief picked Bai Shi up from a ravine and he was dressed in silk clothing, which made him look like he was worth a lot. At that time, the village chief was still reading out loud. This man will definitely repay this debt of gratitude when he wakes up.

In the end, Bai Shi completely lost his memory, he didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know what his name was.

In the end, there was no other way around it. Thus, the Village Chief left him in the forest.

Thinking about it, he should have come from a rich family.

Bai He guessed, but it did not affect her, she had wanted to use Bai Shi to leave the Bai Clan anyways, and they would be parting ways in the future. At worst, if she had the ability, she would just help Bai Shi find his family.

"Oh." Bai Shi didn't know why, but he actually felt that he didn't care about it anymore.

Bai He saw that he had regained her senses, and said: "Oh right, let's go to the market again. Now that we have a stall, we need to buy a few more things to sell."

However, he would have to delay a lot of time.

Bai He was a little depressed when she thought of this. She wondered if she really could make it back in time.

Forget it, she still needed to figure out how she could improve her efficiency.

"I have to buy a few knives first." Bai He said as he looked at Bai Shi.

Bai Shi looked at her suspiciously and said: "I have a blade there."

Bai He nodded her head. He did have a blade there, but every blade was pretty heavy, especially when it was used to cut meat. That weight, how did it make her feel?

Therefore, she still felt that the most important thing was to buy a good knife.

"I know you have it, but I feel like it's still lacking something. Later, we'll go find a blacksmith and find a few knives." How could cooking lack knives? Especially since the dishes she cooked were all about looking good, she was sure that she had high expectations for the knife. Otherwise, no one would want to buy something that was full of holes.

Bai Shi didn't understand why she wanted to buy it, but he followed her anyway.

Bai He found someone to find the blacksmith's location and followed him.

The blacksmith was covered in fierce meat, making Bai He jump in fright.

"Miss, what do you want to buy?" The blacksmith did not hold back and said loudly.

Bai He's ears hurt from his concussion, she finally regained her senses with great difficulty, and said: "I want to buy a few blades."

"What kind of knife?" I have plenty here. " The blacksmith quickly brought her to where his knife was and said, "Look, these knives are all not bad."

He picked up a long, sharp, and frightening knife and introduced it, "This is the Pig Slaughtering Knife, do you want it?"

Bai He saw the flash, and immediately shook her head, and said: "No, I will buy a few kitchen knives. But I want the lighter ones. After all, such a heavy blade is too hard for me. "

She looked at her little arms and legs and felt it was very strenuous.

"So it's like that. I don't have a knife with me, but you can wait for a while. I'll help you." The blacksmith introduced him enthusiastically.

Hearing that, Bai He immediately nodded his head, and said: "Alright, I want three blades. Take a look."

Bai He looked around, picked up a piece of charcoal and started to draw on the ground, it was roughly like this.
