Dress up as a farm girl and make a lot of money with space

Chapter 116: Shopping in the City (Part )

"Then give it to Mr. Xi. No charge." Li Mingxia said with a smile.

The cherry tomatoes were of good quality, so she planned to keep some for seeds. She gave half to Xi Shan, a small half to Yi Shuishui, and took the rest back.

Xi Shan was indeed happier after hearing this, and said with a smile: "It's great that you are willing to give me half. I naturally understand how important these things are to us cooks."

As Xi Shan spoke, he handed Li Mingxia a purse. Needless to say, everyone knew that this was the reward for the half-fruit.

Li Mingxia thought about it and did not refuse. This amount of money was nothing to Xi Shan, and it would be unpleasant if he kept being shy.

Xi Shan chatted for a while longer, and finally got to the point. "Ten months later, if you are free, would you like to come to the capital to have a look?"

As soon as Li Mingxia heard Xi Shan say this, he knew that there would be something exciting happening in the capital in ten months, and it would most likely be related to cooking.

Li Mingxia nodded and said, "Please give me a way to find you, Mr. Xi. I will give you a reply one month in advance."

Xi Shan nodded and said, "Please keep this note. When you go to the prefectural government office, you can hand in this note and someone will receive you."

Li Mingxia quickly took the post and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Xi."

The more Xi Shan looked at Li Mingxia, the more satisfied he became. After talking for a while, he left with half of the Tiannu fruit.

"I heard from Chang'an that you want to go back tomorrow?" County Magistrate Zhu breathed a sigh of relief after Xi Shan left.

Li Mingxia nodded and said, "I have never been to the capital city. I want to take a look around and go back tomorrow."

County Magistrate Zhu had no objection. "There are a lot of things to do in the county office, and I have been out for a long time. I will go back today. How about Changan staying with you?"

"If there is anything, Lord He can go back with you. I will hire a carriage myself tomorrow." Li Mingxia didn't like to trouble others, so he said immediately.

Before County Magistrate Zhu could speak, He Changan said, "You are a woman with three children. How can I let you go back by yourselves?"

Magistrate Zhu also agreed, "That's right, it's settled. I won't push the wine around with you. Be careful on the road tomorrow."

After seeing off County Magistrate Zhu, He Changan accompanied Li Mingxia and the three little kids to go to the street. He originally wanted to give the fairy fruit to Yi Shuishui first, but he didn't expect that Yi Shuishui had asked someone to bring him a message, saying that he had left the city for urgent matters.

"I think it should be a very important matter." Li Mingxia looked at the angel fruit in the box and didn't think too much about it. It would be the same if he gave it to her next time. They would meet again if they were destined.

After everything was taken care of, Li Mingxia began to go shopping with peace of mind. The capital city was dozens of times larger than Tianmu Town. Its prosperity made Li Mingxia, a modern man, feel a little novel. This was just the capital city. I thought the capital city should be even more magnificent. Li Mingxia was looking forward to it.

"Sister, where are we going first?" Li Zhengde looked around and felt that his eyes were not enough. In short, everything he saw was new and new.

"Let me go and see what books you need first. Lord He is here and can help you make a decision." Li Mingxia said to Li Zhengde.

He Changan must be very knowledgeable about the teaching of this dynasty, so it would be best to ask him for help in this matter.

"That's easy. I'll pick some books for you later. As long as you remember them all, you will have no problem passing the entrance exam." He Changan was very pleased that Li Mingxia took the initiative to ask for his help. After entering the bookstore, he began to help find books that suited Li Zhengde's needs.

"This one is fine, this one is also fine. Take a look at this one. The printing is indeed much better than the one in town. I don't know how much more expensive it is." He Changan couldn't help muttering to himself as he flipped through the book in his hand.

Is there any difference in printing in each place? Li Mingxia was a little surprised when he heard what He Changan said.

After flipping through the book in her hand, she found that it was indeed the case. The printing in the provincial capital was much better than that in the county town. The font was neat and clear, without any mistakes or blurs. She had never thought that the quality of books in the county town was low, but now the comparison made her feel the gap.

"Buy these ten books. The first five are suitable for reading now. As long as you understand them thoroughly, I can guarantee that you will have no problem coping with the entrance examination of any school." He Changan picked for a while and gave the ten books to Li Mingxia. Then he began to pick the books he liked. Taking this opportunity, Li Mingxia took Li Zhengde to buy paper and ink, and let him choose a pen he liked.

At first the little guy was reluctant, until Li Mingxia told him to consider it as a gift for him, he happily accepted it.

"Sorry for the long wait. I haven't been to the city for a long time. I saw some books I liked and wanted to take a few back with me." He Changan seemed to be in a good mood. He held two or three thin books in his hands and said with a smile.

Li Mingxia had not paid the bill and was just waiting for him. He took the book from He Changan's hand without saying anything and asked the waiter to pay the bill.

"Sir He, if you still want to be polite to me, you really don't consider me a friend." Li Mingxia deliberately pretended to be extremely serious, which made He Changan couldn't help laughing.

Thinking that Li Mingxia was indeed not short of that little money now, he said, "Okay, thank you very much, Miss Li, for your generosity in giving me the book. I will work like a cow and a horse in my next life to repay your kindness."

Li Mingxia was so amused by his deliberate behavior that he couldn't hold back his smile and burst out laughing.

Those books, pens, ink and paper cost Li Mingxia a total of sixteen taels of silver. This was completely affordable for Li Mingxia now, and it was a necessary investment for his younger brother, so Li Mingxia didn't feel sorry at all.

"Go to the cloth shop and the garment store. They all say that the fabrics in the city are beautiful!" Li Mingxia is, after all, a girl who loves beauty and is still interested in clothes and jewelry.

As a result, the prices of clothes in the garment store made Li Mingxia, who was now quite wealthy, very shocked. He left with his brothers and sisters without looking back.

"Forget it, let's go look at the materials."

Anyway, Zhang's needlework is very good. No matter what kind of clothes he wants, as long as they are not particularly complicated, Zhang can make them almost immediately after hearing his request. Why should he spend several or even dozens of times more money than the cloth to buy a ready-made garment? Anyway, he is not in a hurry to wear it.

Li Mingxia was dazzled by the rows and rows of beautiful fabrics in the cloth shop.
