nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nLi Mie muttered to himself.

n“The bamboo sticks are easy to make. Even people who are not trained can make them…”

n“How about this, 100 pieces for 15 wen. I can ask my wife and sister-in-law to help. This way, they can earn some money.”

nHe processed the bamboo and cut them. Finally, he asked his wife and sister-in-law to get a knife and sharpen the sticks.

nLin Xiaoyue thought for a moment. A hundred of them cost 10 wen. It was probably cheaper than hiring someone to do it at home.

n“Alright, then please do that. When it’s done, tie them up into a bundle of 100. I’ll order 100 bundles for now.” As Lin Xiaoyue spoke, she took out another 5 taels of silver from her pocket.

n“This is the deposit. After they are done, I will pay the rest.”

nLi Mie didn’t take the money this time.

n“There’s no need for a deposit for the bamboo sticks. From tomorrow onwards, I’ll arrange for them to start making them. When it’s done, I’ll get them to send it directly to your house. You just need to pay them 15 wen per bundle!”

nLin Xiaoyue smiled and nodded.

n“Deal! Then let’s do it!”

nAfter chatting with Li Mie for a while, Lin Xiaoyue returned home.

nWhile walking, Lin Xiaoyue was thinking that she had to get someone to prepare charcoal when the two children went to school

nThere was no firewood at the eatery, so they needed to prepare a lot of charcoal.

nIt was good to use charcoal. While heating the food, it could also keep the shop warm.

nThe scholars of the academy would definitely be willing to stay in the shop.

nIn the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month.

nOn this day, Li Xiao got off work early.

nHe went to Liu Shi’s Eatery and went home with Lin Xiaoyue.

nOn the ox-cart.

nLin Xiaoyue was talking to Li Xiao, but Li Xiao was a little absent-minded.

nLin Xiaoyue was feeling a little annoyed when she saw Li Xiao suddenly look at her.

nThen, he took out a red cloth.

n“This is for you,” he said with a red face.

nLin Xiaoyue was puzzled.

n“What is it?”

nSensing that there was an object inside, Lin Xiaoyue suddenly had a guess, and a hint of light flashed across her eyes.

n“Take a look. Do you like it?” Li Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

nLin Xiaoyue smiled.

nShe unwrapped the red cloth.

nWhat was wrapped inside was actually a beautiful golden hairpin.

nThe hairpin was exquisitely carved, and the body of the hairpin was beautiful.

nIt was obvious that it was expensive.

nLin Xiaoyue liked it and picked it up to admire it for a while.

nShe suddenly thought of something and looked at Li Xiao.

n“It’s not cheap, right?”

n“It’s alright.” Seeing that his wife was satisfied, Li Xiao was in a good mood.

nThen, he looked at the wooden hairpin on Lin Xiaoyue’s head.

nHe was ready to take it off Lin Xiaoyue’s head and replace it with the new golden hairpin.

nGuessing Li Xiao’s move, Lin Xiaoyue quickly stopped him.

n“What are you doing? The new hairpin is too eye-catching! Besides, if I wear it out, I’m afraid I’ll lose it!”

nThis golden hairpin weighed nearly three taels.

nIncluding the craftsmanship, it was probably worth 4.0 to 50 silver taels.

nIf she lost it, she would cry.

nEh, no! He was barely working at the dock for one month, did he earn so much?

nLi Xiao thought about it and agreed with what she said.

n“Then I’ll buy you another silver one tomorrow!”
