Chapter 25 Want to buy, buy, buy

"Sanya, you can just buy two sets for replacement. You don't need three sets. The fine cotton set is too expensive. Can we return it?"

When Mei Daya saw that Melo Mei wanted to buy three sets, she immediately pulled her aside and whispered her advice.

"Sister, I earn my own money and spend it myself, please leave me alone."

She just likes cotton. After wearing ragged linen for several years, she has long been tired of it. If conditions didn't allow it, she would still like to wear silk and soft smoke!

I have seen many novels describing the time-travel heroine who has money but does not want to buy a maid. She haha, you are a fool if you don’t enjoy it when you have money!

"You hurry up and choose your own, and I will choose two sets for the second sister."

"Sanya, I..."

"Oh, let me choose for you. It's just a waste of time. I still have a lot of things I haven't bought yet."

Melome pouted unhappily and pointed to several sets of clothes hanging on the wall, "This set, this set, and these two sets, wrap them up for me."

"Okay, okay, I'll wrap it up right away."

The shopkeeper quickly stepped forward, took down some of the clothes that Melome had chosen, wrapped them up, and asked, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"

"Do you have any shoes for sale?"

She didn't find that there were shoes for sale here, she was just asking symbolically.

"Yes, do you want to buy it for yourself or...?" The store manager looked at Mei Daya.

Melome thought for a moment, "I have two pairs for myself, and she has two pairs. There is also a sister at home, so let's get two pairs too!"

"Okay, but you may have to wait a while. I'm going to get it from my sister, do you think?"

Hey, we even provide chain stores with one-stop service!

"Go ahead, go ahead."

The store manager was worried about the two of them, so he asked the store manager next door to help look after the store, measured the size, and then ran to another street to get the shoes.

"Sanya, you will spend all your money very quickly."

In the end, Mei Daya couldn't help but nag her sister while the shop owner was away. She was so ignorant!

"I know, but money is dead and people are alive. After the money is spent, you have to earn it. It will be uncomfortable if you make money and don't spend it." Like her!

The two of them chatted and waited. After a while, the store manager ran back panting, holding six pairs of shoes in his hands.

Melome tried it on and it fit.

Thousands of layers of bottom, solid!

Although the color is still pitch black, there are two small flowers on it, which can be considered a comfort!

"Shopkeeper, please calculate how much it will cost."

"Okay, let me do the math. One set of muslin children's clothes costs 380 cents. Four sets of adult muslin clothes cost 426 cents each. Two sets of linen clothes cost 56 cents each. Six pairs.

Shoes, twenty-eight cents per pair, total..."

The shopkeeper's fingers flew across the abacus, "Two, two, three hundred and sixty-four cents."

She looked at Melome and said with a smile: "Little girl, you bought a lot, and it's your first time coming back to our store. I'll give you a discount, that's twenty or fifty cents."

The shopkeeper exchanged the change and said, "Here's the money for you. Count it."

Merome "..." Two hundred and five?

Melo Mei counted the items and found that they were correct. Then she threw her clothes, shoes, etc. into Mei Daya's back, and left under the smiling eyes of the shopkeeper.

Putting on the new shoes, Melomei felt a little happier and dragged Mei Daya shopping all the way...

How many first flowers should you buy? Well, don’t buy it, it’s too eye-catching! We’ll talk about it after we divide the family.

Buy pastries, hide them at home and eat them secretly...

Fruits, candies, roast chicken, buy...

Oil, salt, rice and meat? Well, I won’t buy it. There is no place to cook it, the target is big, and it is easy to be discovered!

After looking around, I finally found that except for some cooked food that could be hidden, there was nothing else to buy.

We all live under the same roof, so we don't dare to act rashly. It's better to hide it first, otherwise the vest won't be able to cover it when the time comes.

Mei Daya watched Melo Mei go shopping with great interest. She was indifferent from the beginning to the end. When she didn't want to persuade her anymore, she found that her sister suddenly lost interest.

"Sanya, what's wrong with you?"

"I want to separate our family, otherwise I won't dare to buy anything." Merome said aggrievedly, "Sister, you can't understand the pain of me having money but not being able to spend it."

Mei Daya "..."

"Oh, grandma won't agree." She also wants to separate the family!

"Forget it, let's not talk about this topic anymore. Let's go to the bookstore and go home. Go back and see how many mushrooms the second sister collected today."

As soon as the topic of family separation came up, the two sisters felt depressed. Merome directly cut off the topic and walked to the bookstore.

There is only one bookstore in the town, located next to the private school.

The bookstore is not luxurious, it is just a large room with a few tables and a dozen bookshelves.

"Shopkeeper, I want to buy "The Thousand-Character Classic", "Three-Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Surnames", are they available?"

As soon as Melome entered the bookstore, her eyes glanced back and forth on the bookshelf.

The shopkeeper came over, looked at the two of them, and replied: "Yes, this kind of enlightenment books sell best, so we still have a lot of stock in our store."

Go to one of the rows of bookshelves and pick out three books and take them over.

"Look, this is the new one we copied this month."

Melome took the book and flipped through it a few times. She felt that the handwriting was neat but lacked spirit. She frowned and asked, "Are there any other books with better handwriting?"

For beginners, the handwriting should be better. Don’t be misled by the so-called “eyes and ears”. When the time comes, it will be really unsightly to write a chicken symbol like her.

"Yes, please wait a moment."

The shopkeeper took the book back and replaced it with three new ones.

Melome opened it and looked at it. Her handwriting was neat and vigorous, and she nodded with satisfaction.

"How much do these three books cost in total?"

"The little girl has such a good taste. These three books were all copied by Du Xiucai, and they are the best sellers in our store."

Melome: "Just tell me how much it is."

"Oh, a total of one tael of silver and five hundred wen."

Books in ancient times were indeed expensive, and a book without annotations would cost hundreds of words in just a few pages. It’s no wonder that scholars in this era were rare and expensive.

"Okay, I'll look at the others."

Melome walked aside and looked around again, and finally chose a travel journal and a 'history' of this world. She also chose two writing brushes, a piece of ink that was not very good in quality, an inkstone, and a few knives.

Roughly made white paper.

"Two taels of travel notes, twenty taels of Four Kingdoms Series, two forty taels of pig-hair pens, and a piece of lampblack ink..."

The shopkeeper calculated quickly and finally spent twenty-eight taels of silver on Melome.

"Sister, hold it for you, it's a bit heavy."

After the shopkeeper wrapped the book, Melo Mei carried the book outside and asked Mei Daya, who had been standing in the corner outside the door, to help carry it.

"Can we go back?"

Mei Daya put the bundle handed over by Melo Mei into her backpack, and then asked her sister.

She has become numb to Melome's crazy behavior.

"Yeah, okay, let's go and ride the bullock cart quickly. If it's too late, we won't be able to catch up."

When the two hurriedly arrived at the bullock cart management point, they found that other people had just arrived, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them quickly climbed onto the bullock cart and found a relatively spacious corner to sit in.

The young man driving the cart waited until everyone got on the cart, then cracked his whip and shouted, and the cart slowly headed towards Shuanghe Village.

When we arrived at the village, we saw a group of people running towards the river from a distance.

"What's going on?"

Melo Mei and Mei Daya got off the oxcart and looked at the crowds of people running past them quickly, with little confusion.

Is there someone throwing money in front?

"Da Ya, what are you still doing here? Go back quickly, your breasts are getting into a fight with someone!"

Suddenly someone passed by and said to the two people walking slowly on the roadside, and then ran away in a hurry, "I won't tell you anymore, I'll go watch the fun."

The two sisters Melome "..." stared at each other with big eyes.
