Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 395 Su He and the others are strolling in Huaxi Town

Su He looked at the people on the street. Young women were dressed in bright clothes. Some young men wore cloth long gowns, while others wore short jackets and long pants. Most of them were clean and tidy, with few patches on their clothes. The elderly and children were all dressed cleanly, and their clothes fit them well.

This shows that the people in the town are not too poor. It may also be because there are fewer wars now, people's lives are stable, and they are gradually living a comfortable life. In fact, if the people can live well for two years, they can be self-sufficient in food and clothing.

Especially in the town, you can do some small business, at least you can earn some pocket money, buy some discounted cloth, and make some clothes. Good ones are wanted, and cheap ones are also bought.

Just like Pinduoduo and Taobao, they target different audiences, but both are popular. You don't have to look down on anyone. Just spend your own money and buy from anywhere, as long as you are happy and satisfied.

They went to the cloth shop and saw that there were more varieties of patterns and colors than in Baima Town, and some more expensive silk fabrics. Su He did not hesitate and bought a few pieces when he saw something he liked. He wanted to make some headwear when he got home, so that he could sell it in the border town next time.

Su He is now a money-grubber. If she doesn't make money, she will feel bad. In her previous life, she could make hair ornaments and hairpins by herself. Now she can make some styles suitable for this place.

As a person with so many memories from her past life, she has seen so many good things. Especially when Chinese style became popular on the Internet, she also learned to make a lot of jewelry. Although it looks complicated, it is not too difficult to break it down and make it.

The silks here are very beautiful, and the skills of the ancients should not be underestimated. Many colors are very well woven. If she didn't need to run back and forth between the manor and the village, she really wanted to dress like a lady from a noble family, with fragrant clothes and silk shoes.

It's beautiful to think about it. Although their family's living standard is not low now, they still need to work harder to live such a life. Otherwise, it is really impossible to guarantee that she will always live like this. She is still young now, and it is estimated that she should be able to achieve freedom of clothing in a few years.

There are also gold, silver and jewelry that she does not own yet. The more Su He thought about it, the more she felt that she was just a small landlord and a local rich man. Apart from a few acres of land, she had nothing else.

Then they went to the silver shop next door. Su He's father was watching the car outside. Looking at the exquisite jewelry inside, Su He and her mother thought about the silver in their hands and still didn't dare to look at the expensive ones. In the end, Su He bought a pair of earrings and Su He's mother bought a pair of silver bracelets. Su He and his family could afford these and didn't feel bad about spending more than ten taels of silver.

As for those gold ornaments, just look at them to feast your eyes. Su He felt that it was a bit wasteful to spend so much money on them. It would be better to buy a farm with this money.

Nowadays, the family's money has to be spent on the most important things, and the initial accumulation of money is still very slow. In the past few years, Su He's family has worked hard and earned a lot of money, which is not bad compared to ordinary families.

But there is still a big gap between us and some wealthy families. Our family’s financial situation is too poor and it will take some time to accumulate the initial capital.

They came to the grain shop, and Su He saw some new seeds, broad beans, buckwheat and black rice. Su He was very happy to see them, because the food at home was very monotonous. These could be used to make different delicacies, so he bought them, even if they were more expensive.

Su He came out of the store and looked at the half bag of seeds in the car. She thought it was a good thing that she came here, otherwise she would have missed these good things. Seeing their daughter so happy, Su He's parents also became happy.

As long as their daughter wanted something, they would fully support her, knowing that she would not spend money recklessly. When they saw their daughter looking at the seeds with sparkling eyes, they knew that they could grow good things.

Su He and his friends finally found the local pawnbroker after asking around. The people in the pawnbroker said that there was a manor not far from the town that was being sold at a low price. Su He and his friends did not hesitate and directly took the pawnbroker over to take a look.

The farm was well managed, with a strong and tall outer wall and a lot of fields. I heard that the family had to sell the farm because there was a rebellious son who was addicted to gambling and owed a lot of money.

The buyer had no other requirements, only that he be kind to the people in the farm. The price was not high, only three hundred taels of silver, which Su He and his friends thought was not expensive, so they immediately decided to buy it.
