“Blind eyes.” Su Qingyue threw a glare at the grain shop owner and went to another shop across the street—Sun’s Rice Shop.

As the shopkeeper of Sun’s Rice Shop was counting at the counter, he saw her, was surprised by her appearance, but still greeted, “Girl, feel free to look around.”

Su Qingyue entered the shop, which had a large area. In the middle, there were several large barrels filled with almost full rice. There were three types of rice that people usually ate: one was the brown rice her family had always been eating, one was like the rice in modern times, ordinary rice, and the other one had particularly plump grains.

At this point, the owner of the rice shop also walked over, “Do you want to buy rice? Brown rice is five cents, refined rice seven cents.”

Qingyue pointed to the one with the fullest grains, “How much per jin for this one?”

“This is the best rice that only wealthy families can afford to eat, at more than ten cents per jin.”

“It is too expensive.”

Knowing she was poor by the way she was dressed, the shop owner greeted the customer politely, “The brown rice is very economical.”

Su Qingyue also asked the price of the flour, seven cents per jin. She asked about oil and salt, and they were all the same price as other shops. “I want six hundred jin of refined rice, one hundred jin of flour, and I’ve run out of oil and salt for home use. I’ll buy fifty jin of oil and thirty jin of salt.” She caught a glimpse of the bowls displayed for sale in the corner of the shop, “I’ll also buy twenty bowls.”

The rice shop owner was stunned, “So much?” This was a big customer! Fortunately, he came over to greet her, otherwise, if she had gone to another shop, it would have become someone else’s business.

Su Qingyue smiled and asked, “You have enough stock, right?”

The owner became more enthusiastic, “Yes, there is plenty.”

“Since I’m buying so much, give me a better price.” She wasn’t a big spender, so if she could buy things cheaper, she would buy them cheaper.

“Let me calculate how much I can discount for you.” The shop owner went back to the counter and quickly calculated on the abacus, “The total is five thousand three hundred and thirty cents, you can just give five thousand two hundred cents.”

“I live in Wushan Village, and with so much stuff, I can’t carry it back. Can you ask your waiter to help me deliver it?” Even if she hired a cow’s car, it might not fit.

“Wushan Village is quite far.” The shop owner considered for a moment, “Well, I’ve already discounted one hundred and thirty cents, I can only give you a discount of ninety cents at most, and I can deliver the goods for you.”

“No problem.”

The shop owner apologetically said, “Girl, all the waiters in my shop have gone to other villages to deliver goods, and the delivery carriage has not returned. Can you wait for tomorrow for the delivery?”

“That’s fine. But, I also bought some quilt covers and padding. Can you ask your waiter to bring them for me tomorrow as well? I’ll ask the cloth shop owner to send the goods here before tomorrow.”

“Sure, it’s a trivial matter. Just send them over.” The rice shop owner was very polite.

Converting it into silver taels would be just over six taels. Su Qingyue readily took out another ten-tael silver ingot.

The shop owner gave change.

The rice shop owner across the street saw the ‘beggar’ pay so much money and must have bought a lot of things, a big customer!

Originally, this big customer had entered his shop, but he shouldn’t have underestimated people with his dog’s eyes. He regretted it so much that his intestines turned green!

After leaving her name and address and getting a receipt for the goods and payment, the owner of Sun’s Rice Shop politely escorted her out of the store, “Girl, next time you need something, come to my shop to buy.”

Before returning to the village, Su Qingyue went to talk to Lady Li freewe𝑏(n)ovel.co(m) for the b𝘦st novel reading experience
