“Is there something wrong?” The bailiff asked.

“I will return it all!”

He Tongsheng stamped his feet!

Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, “I want to ask Mr.Officer, how to get to Jinji.”

  ……

Su Xiaoxiao seized 5 taels of silver from He Tongsheng, and wrote an IOU for the remaining 15 taels, which would be repaid within three days.

Then Su Xiaoxiao went to the clothing shop.

Buying clothes was not in the original plan. After all, 200 wén was not much.

Now that she had money, she thought about changing some clothes for Wei Ting and the three little cuties into the countryside’s clothes.

“Brought it for your husband and children?” The lady boss was very enthusiastic.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled.

After she came out from the clothing shop, there were still 4 taels of silver in her hand.

Then she went to the grain store, and bought 20 pounds of corn flour, 10 pounds of white flour, and 10 pounds of rice.

By the time she went to buy meat, the stall was almost closed.

“How much is the bacon?” She asked.

The butcher was a young man, he said, “50 wén for a pound, they are good meat!”

“So expensive.”

“I’m already the cheapest here! You can go to another stall and ask, at least 60 wén!”

“Where’s the fresh meat?” Su Xiaoxiao continued asking.

The butcher said, “I’m going to close the stall. If you want it, I’ll give you 10 wén for a pound.”

In ancient times, salt was expensive, so was the cost of bacon. So the price was naturally high.

Su Xiaoxiao decided to buy fresh ribs and pork belly, and went back to make them herself.

When the butcher saw that she had bought dozens of pounds at a time, he smiled and asked, “Miss, there is still a pair of pig offal here. If you don’t dislike it, you can take it. Anyway, I’m going to close the stall.”

Pig offal was a good thing in her previous life, but it was not so popular in ancient times. Mainly because people could not cook it.

Of course, it was not exaggerated to the point that it would be thrown away because no one bought it. After all, for the poor people who couldn’t eat much meat a year, at least the pig offal was a little meaty.

“Thank you.”

To make bacon, salt and spices were indispensable.

When Su Xiaoxiao finished shopping, it was almost afternoon.

With so many things, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t bring them back by herself.

It was also her luck that she ran into Old Li Tou who was driving an ox cart at the gate of the market.

Old Li Tou had just sold two old hens, he bought two pounds of brown sugar for his grandson and his pregnant daughter-in-law. He also helped the villagers to buy some New Year’s goods.

“Uncle Li.” Su Xiaoxiao greeted him.

Old Li Tou pulled the ox cart and wanted to run away!

Su Xiaoxiao blocked his way.

“Uncle Li, I’m going back to the village. Please give me a ride.”

In the past, Su Pangya was not so polite. She would just shout at Old Li Tou, without greeting him, and just sat down directly.

If he was lucky, Su Pangya would not give money for the ride.

If he was unlucky, Su Pangya would steal some money from Old Li Tou.

Old Li Tou secretly scolded himself for being unlucky. He had just been robbed yesterday, but he met her again today!

He wouldn’t think that Su ‘Fat’ ya was going to be generous just because she was polite to him.

Old Li Tou was about to cry, but what else could he do?

If this little bully became unhappy. There were still two bullies who had tougher fists in the Su family!

With a sullen face, Old Li Tou asked Su Xiaoxiao to bring the goods into the ox cart.

Halfway through the road back to the village, the ox cart was stopped by someone.

They were the three rogues in the town. The leader was Dao ge1, who was a few years younger than Su Cheng. He had just been released from the court not long ago.

1ge (哥) : older brother, to call someone (man) who was older.

He turned the knife in his hand, glanced at Su Xiaoxiao, and smiled unexpectedly: “Yo? Isn’t this Brother Su’s daughter? It’s such a coincidence.”

Old Li Tou’s face changed.

It was over, it was a group. All of the items in his ox cart wouldn’t be able to keep!

Unless Su Pangya helped him——

But it would be impossible for Su Pangya to help him!

It was impossible……
