Thinking about it, Shopkeeper Zhang immediately sighed. "Miss, you really are the most amazing woman I've ever met. Today, I'll make you my friend."

After he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Zhang said in a hurry: "Shun Zi, go and fetch two taels of silver."

The shop assistant widened his eyes: "Two...two taels of silver? Shopkeeper, did you say it right?

Shopkeeper Zhang hurriedly answered: "What's wrong? You have been too idle these days that your ears aren't working well, no? Should I give a long vacation, so that you could take a rest?"

Hearing that, the shop assistant immediately shrunk his head and ran.

Lin Xiaoye smiled.

It seems that this shopkeeper is also quite powerful. Alright then, let it be two taels of silver. It's her first time doing business, so she can't press too hard. Perhaps, there will be more business transactions in the future?

Shopkeeper Zhang's voice pulled her from her thoughts.

"I don't know what other good stuff Miss has?"

Lin Xiaoye was taken aback and rubbed her palms together.

Heavens, how could she still have other good stuff? She was just randomly spouting nonsense just now.

"Of course there are good things, but you'll have to wait for a while. You know, good things need to be nurtured in special places. It will definitely take time to transport them, right?"

After saying this, both of them smiled politely.

Shopkeeper Zhang nodded his head. "You are right, young lady. Are you satisfied with our business today? If we can work together in the future, I can assure you that the price will only get better in the future."

"Alright, I like to negotiate business with straightforward people like shopkeeper Zhang!"

If he knew that she had nothing in her hands, he would probably regret it to death.

Lin Xiaoye took the two taels of silver and left the herbal medicine shop.

She didn't know why, but although she was holding the silver in her hand, her heart was filled with an indescribable excitement. This was the first money she earned since arriving in this era, so she had to reward herself well.

While thinking, she raised her head and saw a grain and oil shop. Suddenly, she remembered that there was nothing at home but salt. She immediately walked in.

There were many people inside the grain and oil shop. There were also many stalls of varying sizes. The items sold in each stall were all different.

There were really too many people here. Lin Xiaoye was worried that she wouldn't be able to squeeze out when the time came, so she bought some common seasonings such as pepper, chillies, salt and vinegar from the entrance.

After exiting the grain and oil shop, she suddenly frowned when she saw the items in her hands.

"Eh? Why didn't I see any oil?"

She looked around and realized that there wasn't any place that sold oil.

Don't the people here eat oil?

"Hey, let's go and take a look. A pig was just killed today and is still fresh…"

The sound of hawkers came from nearby and quite a few people hurriedly ran over.

Lin Xiaoye was stunned.

Pig? It would be nice to buy some fat to refine oil.

Having this in mind, Lin Xiaoye immediately ran over happily. At that moment, she felt that there were benefits to having a skinny body, so she managed to get to the front after a short while.

The butcher opened his mouth and said, "How much fresh pork do you want?"

Lin Xiaoye took a look and saw ribs, pork knuckles, pork meat on the chopping board, but she only saw a few pieces of fat.

Should she buy some ribs back to stew?

Just as she was deep in thought, a sarcastic voice sounded from behind her.

"Yo yo yo! Look at how worn out your clothes are. You still want to buy meat to eat?"

"That's right, she pushed her way to the front even though she doesn't have money, aren't she afraid of being laughed at?"

"Do you want to buy or not? Hurry up and leave. There are a lot of people waiting behind us."

"That's right…"

As they were saying these, those aunts gave each other a look, wanting to push Lin Xiaoye out. Lin Xiaoye immediately grabbed onto the chopping board with her hands and let those people pull her, but they couldn't move her at all.

One of the aunts took two deep breaths. "Your body is so small, but you still have so much strength?"

Lin Xiaoye smiled. That's a must.

"Aunts, don't worry. I will definitely buy meat."

Then, Lin Xiaoye looked at the meat on the chopping board.

"Boss, do you have any fat here?"

Hearing this, the surrounding people started to mock her.

"Oh come on, you can't even afford lean meat and you still want to buy fat?"

"That's right…"

Lin Xiaoye was taken aback. What's wrong with buying fat? Isn't fat cheaper than lean meat?

She heard the boss say, "Of course there is. I've already cut off the fat. How much do you want?"

As he spoke, she saw the boss bring up a wooden bucket filled with fat.

"Sure, how much is one catty of fat?"

"Thirty copper coins for one catty."

"Thirty?" Lin Xiaoye was shocked.

It was indeed a little expensive.

Behind her, someone taunted, "Humph, don't buy it if you can't afford it. You're just doing things beyond your abilities."

"That's right. You better ask the boss if he can help you pick some bones to bring back home. Don't even think about eating meat."

"Bones? Huh, I don't think she can even afford to eat bones. Look at her poverty-stricken appearance and that face. What kind of cloth is that?"

"It's probably because she's too ugly and is afraid of scaring everyone!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of ridicule from the surroundings. The anger in Lin Xiaoye's heart was triggered and she clenched her fist.

Humph, you all think she has no money?

As she thought, she pointed at the wooden bucket.

"Boss, give me ten catties of fat."

Everyone was shocked when they heard that. They all stared at her with widened eyes. Even the owner was surprised.

"Miss, are you sure you want ten catties?"

Lin Xiaoye instantly glanced at him: "What? Are you worried that I won't be able to pay?"

After saying that, Lin Xiaoye reached out with her hand and took out one tael of silver.

The owner nodded immediately. "Miss, please wait a moment. I will pack it for you right now. Do you still want anything else?"

Lin Xiaoye glanced at him and said, "Another two catties of lean meat and two catties of ribs. Wrap them up properly for me."

"Alright!" The butcher was instantly overjoyed.

At this moment, the arrogance of the surrounding women had lessened significantly.

"She really is rich enough to actually buy ten catties in one go. I don't even dare to buy that much."

"Yeah, looking at her clothes, I thought she didn't have any money."

As they spoke, the voices of these people became quieter and quieter. They no longer dared to move forward anymore.

Lin Xiaoye raised her chin.

She took the meat and left.

However, once she walked out of the crowd, she immediately looked at the money in her hands with a sullen look.

Impulse is really a devil!

Lin Xiaoye, ah Lin Xiaoye, you just can't control yourself. This is only ten catties of meat, but it cost her half a tael of silver to buy. Will her days be good?

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoye turned around and looked at those people with a sad expression, but she still left with those pieces of meat.

When she passed by the tailor shop, Lin Xiaoye's heart was even more tormented for quite a while. Buying clothes was a woman's nature, especially since she had just been left behind by those people. At first, it was all because she did not have any decent clothes.

However, after considering the amount of money in her possession, she gritted her teeth and quickly walked forward.

Lin Xiaoye, ah Lin Xiaoye, you have to hold it in!
