Chapter 35: Chapter 35 A Reminder

Zhou Ying looked in the direction she was pointing at. Sure enough, the female shopkeeper was serving a woman in her forties who looked very strict.

Two employees were serving a well-dressed mother and daughter.

It just so happened that she didn't want to have too much contact with the Huang mother and daughter, so she simply took the opportunity to say, "Aunt Huang, it seems that they won't be able to finish in a short time. You wait here then. I'll go to the other shop to take a look."

"Don't. There are only two cloth shops in town. The Qiao family owns the other one. If they recognize you, they'll definitely humiliate you." Mrs. Huang quickly stopped her and whispered.

"The Qiao family...?" Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

"Yes, the Qiao family. I heard that the shop they are using now used to belong to the Gu family's shop."

"Thank you for your reminder, Aunt Huang. Please wait here for a while. We'll go and shop around."

"That's fine, but don't take too long. They should be almost done."

"Alright," she said, and she turned around. She walked toward Gu Chengrui, who was guarding the ox cart, and said, "Husband, it's busy inside. Do you have anything else to buy? We'll come back later."

Gu Chengrui lifted his head and tugged at her slightly slanted top. "We don't have much money left, so let's buy a quilt and cotton-padded clothes first."

"You're right." Zhou Ying responded, sat on the ox cart, and talked to him about their following plans. After all, it was not a long-term plan to go into the mountains to dig herbs.

"It's about the same, but it's not as warm and fluffy."

Zhou Ying hesitated for a moment before asking again, "How much for a whole piece of cotton cloth?"

"A 23-foot-long white cloth is 350 copper per batch, and the one with the plaid pattern is 400 copper."

"What about sackcloth?"

"300 copper per batch."

"Then give me 15 pounds of white cotton, a roll of coarse white cloth, and a roll of coarse cloth with checkered patterns."

"Please wait a moment." After the young man finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the back.

"Zhou Ying, if you want to make two quilts and two cotton-padded clothes, I'm afraid 15 pounds of cotton is not enough." Mrs. Huang reminded her at this time.

"There is a heated brick bed at home; coupling this with our old clothes should be enough. If it's not enough, we can add more later."

When Mrs. Huang heard this, she only thought that Zhou Ying didn't have enough money and didn't say anything more.

The shop assistant quickly brought out the two rolls of cloth he had prepared.

Then, he took out a sack of cotton and weighted it in front of her. "White cotton is 80 copper per pound. 15 pounds is 1200 copper. In addition to the 400 copper and 350 copper worth of cloth, the total is 1950 copper."
