Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Li Changle walked along the street leading into the city gate carrying a bamboo basket.

There are many people like her who come to the city to sell things, and they rush here from various villages before dawn.

The merchants living in the county have already started their day's work. The shouts of hawkers are heard one after another.

That's why it is said that the magistrate of Li County is a man of practical actions. Although the drought in other places has eased for only half a year, the city of Li County has gradually regained its former bustling scene.

After walking a short distance along the street leading into the city gate, Li Changle followed the crowd entering the city and turned into another street on the left.

This street is very lively, with shops on both sides, tea houses, wine shops, foot shops, grocery stores, pawn shops, pork stalls, grain and oil shops, etc.

As we walked further in, we saw more and more vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the street.

She browsed through them one by one and even went into a grocery store. She saw eggs for sale and asked the price.

2 cents an egg.

She looked along the way and knew that she could buy a coarse flour steamed bun for 1 cent and a white flour steamed bun for 2 cents.

An egg is equivalent to a steamed bun.

You know, the steamed buns at this time are very solid and plump. If she eats one and drinks a bowl of tea, it can be equivalent to a meal!

The price of eggs is also reasonable. Although one egg cannot fill a steamed bun, it can be fried, stir-fried, or made into soup. It tastes good and has nutritional value.

So, she can sell this basket of eggs for 60 cents!

With an idea in mind, Li Changle walked out of the grocery store, squatted down next to a stall farther away from the store, opened the coarse cloth covering the bamboo basket, and inside were 30 eggs nestled in a pile of hay.

Next to her was a lady selling straw sandals, with a dozen pairs of woven straw sandals placed on the ground.

She gave the old lady a friendly smile and then looked at her stall obediently.

Apart from the grocery store, she is the only one selling eggs on this street.

After waiting for a long time, no one bought anything except for some people who stopped to take a look.

Li Changle's eyes gradually turned from full of confidence to confusion. Is there no one in the county who likes to eat eggs?

The lady next to her had sold three pairs of straw sandals, but she hadn't sold a single egg.

The old lady couldn't bear to see this, so she told her, "Although this is the city, the rich families have plenty of eggs to eat, but the farmers are reluctant to spend the two cents to buy them. After all, two cents can buy a white flour bun. My girl, if you sell this basket of eggs for a few more days, you will still be able to sell them, but you will have to make more trips."

Li Changle listened and thought that it made sense. If she were in his shoes, she probably wouldn't spend 2 cents to buy eggs. She could buy a few more ounces of pork or a pound of coarse noodles with a few more cents.

She thanked the old lady for the reminder and decided not to waste time here. She carried the bamboo basket and went into the grocery store.

The grocery store does sell eggs, but the price is cheaper, 2 cents for 3 eggs.

When Li Changle walked out of the grocery store again, he had 45 more coins in his pocket.

She was planning how to spend the 45 cents.

"Madam, do you think I am satisfied with the pattern I have embroidered this time?"

"Well, it's all right this time, and the patterns are OK. I'll take these handkerchiefs. They're 15 cents each, but the price has increased by 2 cents from last time."

"Thank you, Madam Shopkeeper."

"Okay, okay. Let's not talk about how fast you can embroider. We all know that slow work produces fine work. Go back and think about it. I'll give you a higher salary then."

Huh?

Li Changle had sharp ears. She turned around and looked at a shop called Jinxiu Buyifang which was diagonally opposite the grocery store.

Handkerchief...

She remembered that there were still 43 contribution points in the system.

Handkerchiefs shouldn't be expensive in the mall...

Li Changle quickly opened the system's mall and searched for ancient style handkerchiefs.

Slowly, joy filled her eyes.

A cotton handkerchief costs 4 yuan, and if you buy three, you get 2 yuan off, which means three handkerchiefs cost 10 yuan.

Don't be fooled by its cheap price, the embroidery is real, although it is not hand-made.

Each handkerchief has embroidery only in one corner, and the floral patterns are all different, in the style of lotus flowers in clear water.

She feels comfortable selling this handkerchief for 20 cents per piece.

These thoughts flashed through her mind in a flash. She looked at the product details page, directly added 12 handkerchiefs of different colors or embroidery patterns to her shopping cart, and clicked to pay.

The handkerchief was taken out and dropped directly into the bamboo basket, still covered with coarse cloth.

After paying, there are only 3 contribution points left...

She straightened her expression and stepped into Jinxiu Buyi Workshop.

The shopkeeper's wife was sweeping the counter with a feather duster and didn't seem to care much when she saw Li Changle.

"Madam, would you like to buy some fabric?"

It's no wonder the shopkeeper asked this question. Those who buy ready-made clothes nowadays are those who have some savings at home, or those who are wealthy and come to buy clothes to see the styles. Most people still buy cloth and make their own clothes at home.

Li Changle: "Hello, Madam Shopkeeper! I would like to ask if you accept handkerchiefs here."

"Of course I will, but I have to see how the handkerchiefs are. If they are not good, I won't accept them, for fear that I won't be able to sell them."

The shopkeeper stopped what she was doing and stood by the counter. She noticed the bamboo basket in Li Changle's hand and asked, "Madam, why don't you take it out so I can have a look?"

Of course, she had to inspect the goods before receiving them. Li Changle took out a beige cotton handkerchief embroidered with a few peach blossoms from the bamboo basket and handed it to her.

The shopkeeper who took the handkerchief could tell at a glance that the embroidery was done with superb craftsmanship. Although the fabric was cotton, not silk, the craftsmanship of the embroidery could cover up this shortcoming.

With a delighted look on her face, she hurriedly asked Li Changle, "How many handkerchiefs like this do you have? Are they all made by the same person?"

Li Changle choked. The shopkeeper thought it was her who embroidered it!

But the same person’s craftsmanship?

They are all machine embroidered, so they are made by the same person, right?

She looked carefully at the handkerchief in the shopkeeper's hand and thought it looked much better than when she saw it on the details page.

"Host, the eggs you bought, no matter if they were artificial eggs or stupid eggs before, the moment they are taken out of the system, they are the native eggs of the Great Yan Dynasty!"

Li Changle: "..." What a big surprise!

"Now these handkerchiefs, whether they are machine embroidery or rust, are all real hand-embroidery when they are taken out."

"I've said that there is no gray area where the system could be detected."

Li Changle didn't have time to chat with the system now. Knowing that the embroidery on her handkerchief was truly handmade, it would be easier for her to give a price to the shopkeeper.

"Madam Shopkeeper, do you like this handkerchief?" Li Changle asked with a smile.

"Come in, madam, and rest for a while." The plump and fair-skinned shopkeeper's wife held the handkerchief in her hand, turned out from the counter, and took her into the inner room separated by a screen.

There was a set of dark red wooden tables and chairs inside, and a kettle was sitting on a clay stove next to the table. At this moment, the water was boiling, and steam was coming out of the kettle's spout.

The shopkeeper's wife pressed Li Changle onto a chair, poured some water and handed it to her, "Madam, drink some hot water first."

Li Changle thanked him and took the tea bowl. The water was too hot, so she put the bowl aside and took out the remaining 11 handkerchiefs under the watchful eyes of the shopkeeper.

"It's all here, take a look and see if it's ok."

Without her saying a word, the other party had already picked up a stack of handkerchiefs and examined them carefully one by one.

There are several base colors for handkerchiefs, including snow-white, beige, light yellow, and pink, all of which belong to the light color system. The floral patterns are also clear and light.

They all look very stylish.

It feels soft to the touch, which is really different from the rough and sloppy looking fabric in the pictures on the webpage.

The shopkeeper's wife was very happy, as these handkerchiefs were truly the finest among handkerchiefs.

No one in the county could embroider such elegant handkerchiefs. At least her shop had been open for more than ten years, and many people came here to sell handkerchiefs, but she had never received such good quality cotton handkerchiefs.

Those who have this skill don't sell it to her, and are directly hired by wealthy families to work as embroiderers.

Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Li Changle, "Madam, you...you name a price!"

Li Changle: "..."

She kept calling her "wife". Fortunately, she was a female shopkeeper, otherwise, she would be distracted in any moment.
