Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 120 Seeing is Evidence

"Oh... Miss An Yue brought it just in time!"

"Zhou is worried about running out of stock. It has been raining for the past two days, and I am afraid you won't be able to deliver it in time. That would be troublesome."

An Yue smiled and responded, "Yes, it has been raining these past two days, and Yue Yue is also very worried. I am afraid it is not enough."

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. As long as it can be delivered, it doesn't matter if it's a little less. Then let's go to the backyard to weigh it now, shall we?"

An Yue nodded with a smile on her face.

Shopkeeper Zhou made a 'please' gesture and said, "Okay, both of you please follow me."

I came to the backyard of the shop and prepared to weigh everything one by one.

Shopkeeper Zhou hung the backpack on the hook of the scale, lifted the rope with one hand, and weighed the plantain first.

Shopkeeper Zhou read out, "Eleven pounds of plantain."

After weighing, he poured the plantain into his large winnowing basket and then weighed the empty backpack.

"The backpack weighs two kilograms."

An Yue said, "Subtract the two kilograms from the backpack, and the plantain is... nine kilograms."

Shopkeeper Zhou recorded the number in the account book and then began to weigh the dandelions.

"Ten pounds of dandelions."

As before, remove the backpack.

"Eight pounds and five ounces of dandelions."

After writing down everything, Shopkeeper Zhou took An Yue to the counter to pay.

An Yue stood in front of the counter, calculating in her mind how much money there was in total.

Shopkeeper Zhou was tapping the abacus skillfully in front of the account book.

Li Wu didn't speak since he entered the door. He stood quietly aside, listening to An Yue talking with the shopkeeper.

——A moment later.

Shopkeeper Zhou said, "Miss An Yue, this plantain is 180 wen, and the dandelion is 255 wen, a total of 435 wen, would you like to see the logarithm?"

She smiled and nodded, and replied: "Uncle Zhou must be right!"

Shopkeeper Zhou began to open the counter drawer, preparing to count the money for An Yue.

After Manager Zhou counted the money, he handed it to An Yue and said, "Here is a total of two taels and thirty-five copper coins. Please keep it, Miss An Yue."

An Yue held out her hands, holding the silver, and thanked him quickly, "Thank you, Uncle Zhou."

Afterwards, Shopkeeper Zhou turned around and opened the rows of medicine drawers one by one to check the herbs inside.

At this time, Li Wu, who was standing aside, saw with his own eyes that An Yue took the silver from Shopkeeper Zhou's hand. His eyes widened bigger than copper bells and he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

An Yue deliberately took the silver and money and waved it in front of Li Wu's eyes. She had a little pride on her face, and then put the silver and money into her pocket.

After checking all the medicine drawers, Shopkeeper Zhou turned to An Yue and said, "Miss An Yue, could you help me pick some Ophiopogon japonicus and send it to me recently?"

After hearing this, An Yue quickly thought in her mind where to find Ophiopogon japonicus in the mountains near her home.

An Yue asked, "How much silver do you plan to pay Yue Yue for each pound of Mai Dong?"

"I see that Miss An Yue is also a straightforward person, so I will not drag my feet."

"I'll give you twenty cents a pound of fresh Ophiopogon japonicus, and eighty cents a pound of dried Ophiopogon japonicus, how about that?"

An Yue scratched his head and replied, "The price is quite reasonable, but we still need to go up the mountain and look for it carefully. I can't say how much we can find!"

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay, Miss An Yue will take her time to find it."

"That's fine. If you say so, Yueyue will feel relieved."

Shopkeeper Zhou quickly said loudly, "Oh! By the way, I forgot to tell you that you can also find some more dandelions and plantains to dry. You can send them to the shop every once in a while."

"Okay, then Uncle Zhou, Yueyue will be back now."

An Yue bowed and said with a smile, then put on her empty backpack and prepared to go shopping in the shops on the street.

As the two walked out of the shop, Li Wu finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

He still couldn't believe that he had just seen it with his own eyes, and asked with a blank expression: "Yueyue, did you really sell this weed like this?"

"Of course. I've got the money, but you still don't believe it, uncle?"

After hearing what An Yue said, Li Wu quickly turned around and untied the cow rope tied to the pillar.

An Yue tilted her head playfully and asked, "Uncle, does the bet between us still count?"

Li Wu stammered, "Of course it counts!!"

An Yue gave Li Wu a thumbs up and said, "Then Yue Yue will not be polite."

An Yue took out five coins from her pocket and handed them to Li Wu, saying, "Thank you for your help, uncle."

Li Wu waved his hands and said, "Yueyue, what are you doing? You can't accept this money. I, Li Wu, accept the loss."

An Yue handed the five coins to Li Wu and said with a smile: "Uncle, take it! Let me make it clear first! This is not the money for the ox cart. This is Yueyue's reward for your help."

Li Wu scratched his head and smiled warmly.

An Yue said while carrying a backpack: "Uncle, Yue Yue will go to the store to buy some things first. Can you wait for Yue Yue at the entrance of the town?"

"Come on, come on, come back soon."

Li Wu drove the ox cart towards the town entrance, but the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.

He turned around and shouted to An Yue, "Xiao Yueyue, you little devil, uncle has been tricked by you!"

An Yue turned her head and looked at Li Wu, who finally reacted and couldn't help but smile.

An Yue thought that the day after tomorrow would be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, her brother Anqing's wedding day, and she didn't know what kind of gift would be appropriate to give her sister-in-law when she came home.

I can’t remember it for the moment, so I’d better go buy a hat and a raincoat first!

An Yue walked towards the grocery store, where she had bought a scale before.

"Hello, boss!" An Yue greeted politely.

The shopkeeper looked at An Yue, his eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking something.

After a moment, he smiled and asked enthusiastically, "Oh! It's you! Little girl, what do you want to buy this time?"

An Yue asked in surprise: "Does the shopkeeper still remember me?"

"But remember! Last time you bought a large scale from me, you exchanged a lot of silver for it."

"There are only two girls as clever as you in a year."

An Yue smiled shyly and said, "The shopkeeper is really good at joking!"

The shopkeeper laughed heartily and said, "Haha... I'm not joking. Everything I said is true."

An Yue turned sideways and saluted, saying, "Thank you for the compliment, shopkeeper!"

Then he said, "I came here today to buy two sets of bamboo hats and straw raincoats."

"Is it for you to use on a daily basis or for the adults in your family?" The shopkeeper took a step forward, ready to find it for An Yue.

"Both sets should be smaller."

"Okay, okay, wait a moment." After the shopkeeper said that, he walked towards the warehouse.

——Half a moment later.

The shopkeeper came out with two sets of bamboo hats and straw raincoats and said, "There are so many things in this shop. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"It's okay, it's fine as long as it's there."

The shopkeeper placed the straw raincoat and bamboo hat on a stool and asked An Yue to take a look. An Yue picked them up and tried them on.

The two sets are the same size. An Yue tried them on and found the length to be just right, so she thinks it will also be suitable for An Nian.

An Yue turned around and asked the shopkeeper:
