One cut of cooked rice paper contains twenty-five sheets, so Lin Chuyi directly bought eight cuts, which is a total of two hundred sheets of rice paper.

Next came the ink stick and the writing brush. For the ink stick, Lin Chuyi bought the best pine soot ink in the store, and for the writing brush, he bought a mid-priced wolf-hair brush.

After selecting the four treasures of the study, Lin Chuyi picked out many enlightenment books for them, such as "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Classic" and so on.

In addition, Lin Chuyi also bought a lot of must-read books for the imperial examinations as well as various literary works that have been passed down over the past few hundred years.

At present, Lin Cheng and the others are definitely not able to read such a profound book, but Lin Chuyi’s original intention was not to let them read it now, but to use it to enrich the bookshelf.

The bookshelves in the study are empty. Can a study without books be called a study? It must be filled with books.

The clerk followed Lin Chuyi's instructions and took books from various bookshelves. The more he took, the more unsure he felt.

At first, when he saw her choosing the four treasures of the study so confidently, he thought that a big customer had come today. But the more he watched, the more he suspected that Lin Chuyi was playing a trick on him.

He had been a clerk for so long, but he had never seen anyone buy books in this way. These things added up to more than one hundred taels of silver. He felt that Lin Chuyi simply could not afford so much money.

When the waiter's suspicious eyes glanced at him for the third time, Lin Chuyi finally stopped, took out the banknote and handed it to the waiter to pay the bill.

When the clerk saw the money, his expression changed immediately. He respectfully took the banknote with both hands and went to the shopkeeper for settlement, then helped Lin Chuyi tie up the books with a thin rope.

Seeing that she had nothing in her hands, the shopkeeper specifically asked his servant to go to the backyard to get a backpack and give it to Lin Chuyi.

After putting all the things he bought in the bookstore into a backpack, Lin Chuyi thanked the shop owner and left the bookstore carrying the basket.

Remembering that Lin Jinxiu asked her to bring cloth, Lin Chuyi went to a cloth shop next, where she picked out a few suitable pieces of cloth. After paying the bill, she threw them all into the backpack.

The next step was to buy food, but Lin Chuyi just wandered around the vegetable and meat stalls, learned about the current vegetable and meat prices, and then left.

She has all the ingredients for the house-warming banquet in her space, and they are fresher than those on the market. Lin Chuyi plans to catch a pig directly from the space and slaughter it tomorrow to use as the main dish.

As for vegetables, you can buy them from nearby neighbors, pick them and cook them right away. This can also promote neighborhood relations, killing two birds with one stone.

That was why she didn't buy meat and vegetables at the market.

Lin Chuyi was strolling in the market when her eyes were suddenly attracted by a vendor selling dried goods.

Through the species detection eye, Lin Chuyi saw that many of the things sold by the stall owner were varieties that did not exist in the space.

Lin Chuyi took a closer look and found that the stall owner was selling some seafood, including dried shrimp, dried clams, dried oysters, dried razor clams, dried conchs, scallops, dried squid, dried abalone, dried whitebait, as well as seaweed and kelp.

Lin Chuyi's eyes lit up when she saw these seafoods, most of which were her favorites.

After she buys these seafoods and sends them into the space, and has the laboratory analyze them and put them on the space mall, she will then save up enough gold coins to unlock the sea area. Wouldn't she have countless fresh seafood to eat?

The more Lin Chuyi thought about it, the happier she felt. But she still had to pretend. As a local, it was impossible for her to know these seafood products.

This is an inland area with only rivers but no sea. What people come into contact with on a daily basis are fresh river fish. It is almost impossible to eat fresh seafood.

Because the transportation process is so long, fresh seafood will die soon after leaving the ocean, unless it is dried and preserved like these bags of dry goods.

The stall owner probably thought that seafood is not valuable in coastal areas, but is a rare commodity that is hard to find in inland areas, so he wanted to buy low and sell high to make a profit from the difference.

However, in fact, no one has been interested in his stall, and Lin Chuyi has found the reason from the pungent fishy smell.

Seafood has a strong fishy smell to begin with, and when so many kinds of seafood are piled together, the smells are intertwined, increasing the power exponentially.

The pedestrians around here all grew up inland, so they naturally didn't recognize these things. People are always very wary of unknown things, not to mention that these things emit such a horrible smell.

No matter how hard the stall owner tried to persuade her, no one believed that this thing could be cooked and eaten, and that it would taste good.

Lin Chuyi pinched his nose, walked a few steps to the stall owner, and looked at the goods.

"What are these?" Lin Chuyi asked the stall owner with pretended curiosity.

The owner of the seafood stall became excited when he saw that there was finally a customer asking about his seafood today.

But when he saw clearly that the person standing opposite him was just a little girl in simple clothes, his boiling heart instantly cooled down.

A child this young, is he just asking for fun? Even if he can buy it, how much can he buy?

The stall owner quickly thought of his current situation and sighed silently in his heart. No matter how small a fly is, it is still meat. Why should he be picky in his current situation? He will just sell it for as much as he can.

These thoughts only flashed through the stall owner's mind for a moment. He decided to treat this discerning customer well and greeted Lin Chuyi with a smile.

"Little girl, these are all good things. I brought them all the way from the coastal areas. They are all local specialties. Look at this. This is called dried shrimp. Don't underestimate its small size. It tastes so delicious when added to the soup."

As the stall owner spoke, he grabbed a handful of dried shrimps from his open pocket and handed them to Lin Chuyi to show her.

Lin Chu subconsciously took a step back. The stall owner withdrew his hand awkwardly and pointed at the scallops and said to Lin Chuyi.

"This is scallop. You can only get one scallop from a scallop. It's a great tonic if you use it to make soup!"

Lin Chu nodded slightly. She understood that what the stall owner said was the truth. When the stall owner saw her nod, he became more excited. Just as he was about to continue introducing other seafood, he was interrupted by the stall owner selling vegetables next door.

"Little girl, don't listen to his lies. He has been setting up a stall here for three days and hasn't made any business. He is a black-hearted person who specializes in defrauding people."

The vegetable stall owner has been setting up his stall here for more than three years. He knows almost all the vendors around here. He has always been kind to others and his business has always been good.

Until a man selling seafood came next door. The smell of his stuff was so strong that it could be smelled from a long distance away.

Smelling this smell all day long, his appetite has decreased a lot, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that having such a person around him has a special impact on his business.

Passersby all walked around him, and he was also affected. His business became worse and worse. He could only watch as customers went to other vegetable vendors' stalls, feeling anxious but unable to do anything.
