Chapter 547: Owing a favor (monthly ticket plus 35 updates)
In this era when there are very few entertainment projects, this is one of the few entertainments that Sumulan has.
Su Mulan was very interested. She looked through some newly arrived newspeak books recommended by the store clerk. When she saw the ones she was interested in, she picked them out first.
"You like reading these so much?" Bai Shitang watched Su Mulan pick out four or five books in a short time, and laughed, "When shopkeeper Liao goes to Fucheng to transport goods next time, I will help you bring a few books."
“Okay.” Su Mulan nodded hurriedly.
There are only a limited number of scholars in the county. Both those who write storybooks and those who read them are in the minority. Naturally, the number of storybooks here is also small.
In Fucheng, there are probably more types of scripts and the quality of the scripts will be better.
Su Mulan is very happy at the thought of seeing more exciting storylines.
After Su Mulan finished answering, he saw Bai Shitang holding a book in his hand and reading.
But that book is more like a picture album than a book. The paper is several times larger than an ordinary book, and the paper looks much yellower than an ordinary book, and the edges are already slightly curled.
“What are you looking at?” Su Mulan asked.
"It should be a map." Bai Shitang tilted the picture album in his hand towards Su Mulan's direction.
Su Mulan took a look.
It is indeed a map, but the map is a bit rough and only some outlines can be seen vaguely.
It can be seen that there is land and sea above, and there are also a few islands vaguely above.
But based on these, it is not clear that it belongs to the seaside area.
“Where is this?” Su Mulan was a little curious.
"The painting I'm talking about is Qiong Yang, but it doesn't look much like it." Baishi said, "It looks a bit like the one over the East China Sea."
"Oh? Have you been to the East China Sea?" "When I was working at the Chamber of Commerce, I often escorted goods, which can be considered as traveling all over the country. I have been to the East China Sea and stayed for a while, but I am not used to it." Bai Shitang smiled. road.
“People who have lived inland for a long time will certainly not be used to it when they go to the seaside, but the fish, shrimp and shellfish there taste pretty good.”
Su Mulan couldn't help but smacked her lips when talking about seafood, but when she saw Bai Shitang's surprised look, she hurriedly said, "But I've only heard about it, and I haven't tasted it after all."
"It's not difficult to get this," Bai Shitang said, "When I go shopping next time, I'll see if there are any dried fish, dried shrimps or the like for sale."
When the cloth from Songjiang was transported here, most of it was transported by river.
On this river, there are all kinds of goods going north and south, and the special food on the seaside is no exception.
“Sure.” Su Mulan nodded again.
But then I felt that it seemed a little too much trouble for Bai Shitang.
I asked him to bring a storybook, and I asked him to bring fish and shrimps. I felt a little bit embarrassed no matter what...
Su Mulan doesn't like to owe favors to others, and now he starts to think about what he should do to repay Baishitang.
Um…
Since I bought so much cloth today, let’s wait until we get back and make other things besides making some sheets and quilt covers.
Just...clothes and shoes.
The needlework that you are not good at and don’t like to do will become more sincere after you finish it.
And in front of outsiders, when they see Bai Shitang wearing the clothes and shoes she made, they won't make random guesses about her relationship with Bai Shitang like the children did before.
