The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Li Yu hurried towards the town. When he arrived at the town, the market had already dispersed. Occasionally, people walked by in a hurry on the street. The shops on both sides became deserted, unlike the liveliness he saw when he first arrived in the town. They are two completely different scenes.

As Li Yu walked, he looked at the shops on both sides and saw that although the town was small, the types of shops were still very complete. Various styles of Sapporos were hung at the door of the shops.

Li Yu saw a cloth shop and went in to buy thirty kilograms of cotton, one piece of sky blue and one piece of turquoise fine cloth, one piece of earthy white coarse cloth, as well as about ten feet of gauze and more than ten feet of plain white cotton. Two mosquito nets and a handful of needlework cost twenty taels of silver. The landlady happily gave me a handful of thread and a bag of cloth.

Li Yu stored his things at the cloth store and walked to the end of the street to find the blacksmith's shop. The blacksmith leaned on the bamboo chair at the door with his legs crossed and was snoring.

The blacksmith was a middle-aged man, wearing a dark coarse cloth coat, and his face was tanned and red. Li Yu shouted to the blacksmith: Uncle, wake up, I want to buy something.

The blacksmith was suddenly woken up and was startled. When he opened his eyes, he saw a little girl. He patted his heart and said, Oh! I was almost scared to death by you, a little girl.

Li Yu looked at him innocently, Uncle, you can't blame me, I can't just go in and take it!

The blacksmith laughed heartily, That's it, that's it, girl, what do you want to buy?

Li Yu went into the shop and took a look, and asked for two iron pots, a few locks, two hoes, a shovel, a kettle, two sickles, as well as fire tongs and spatulas. Finally, Li Yu saw a dagger and took it. After getting up and playing with it for a while, he looked at the blacksmith and said, Uncle, how did you sell this dagger?

The blacksmith looked at what Li Yu had picked out and said, Little girl, the iron pot is six hundred cents a piece, the spatula is thirty cents,... add up, a total of four thousand nine hundred and ten cents.

Li Yu did the math and said, Uncle, do you think this will work? For four taels and nine cents of silver, can you give me another pair of nails?

The blacksmith nodded cheerfully, Little girl, I'll sell it to you. Can you handle the two big iron pots?

Li Yu thought to himself: It seems that he has to buy a carrying basket to hold so many things.

Uncle, where can I buy back bamboo poles nearby?

The blacksmith pointed to the grocery store diagonally across the street and said, Hey, there's a grocery store diagonally across the street from Zhouji.

Li Yu looked at those things and asked the blacksmith, Uncle, please pick out two better iron pots for me. I will buy a back bamboo basket and come back to get them.

Don't worry, little girl, everything in my house is good. The blacksmith showed off his things and watched Li Yu go to the grocery store opposite.

Li Yu entered the shop and saw that it was indeed a grocery store with everything for food and use. The clerk greeted him attentively and looked at Li Yu with a smile on his face, Girl, let's see what we have to buy? Zhouji’s stuff is good and cheap.”

Li Yu looked at it, pointed at the aniseed, and said to the waiter: Please weigh the fruits, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and peppercorns...in the same way, weigh three taels, and the peppers weigh one catty.

Okay! The clerk quickly weighed the things and put them into oil paper bags. He asked Li Yu with a smile: Girl, what else do you need?

Li Yu pointed to the oil in the jar and asked, What oil is in this?

Vegetarian oil, rapeseed is pressed for thirty-five cents per pound. Do you want some?

Li Yu thought for a moment and said, It'll cost five kilograms! If I buy so much, you can give me a discount later!

The clerk smiled and nodded, Okay, I'll give you a discount after you make your choice.

Li Yu bought another two kilograms of brown sugar, two kilograms each of salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, a wooden steamer, and other things including bowls, chopsticks, pans, and miscellaneous things.

In the end, it was calculated to be a total of 915 Wen. The waiter collected 900 Wen from Li Yu. After Li Yu paid the money, the waiter looked at a lot of things and glanced at Li Yu worriedly, thinking: This small body How could you take so many things away?

Girl, can you take it?

You pack it for me. I'm going to buy some more lard. Where is the meat seller?

The waiter pointed to the street Li Yu walked on when he arrived, You go to the south of the town. There is an alley on the right hand side, and the meat sellers are there.

Thank you. Li Yu went to the blacksmith shop opposite to pay the money and counted the things. The blacksmith helped Li Yu move the things to the grocery store. He looked at a lot of things and persuaded Li Yu, Little girl, how do you take so much? I have to go back, I suggest you hire a car at the entrance of the town!

It's okay. It's troublesome to walk around. I'll hire a car when I get to the town and find a suitable one.

Seeing that Li Yu was unwilling to hire a car, the two of them had no choice but to say, We'll help you pack your things.

The blacksmith waited for the man to put the bowls, chopsticks and other fragile things into the basket, put the pot on top of the basket, then put other things into the pot and fixed them with ropes. The blacksmith looked at the thin man and said to Li Yu, Worriedly, he advised: Little girl, if you can't carry it, don't try too hard, or it may crush your body.

Uncle, don't worry I can carry it.

Li Yu squatted down and easily picked up the bamboo basket. The waiter looked at Li Yu in surprise and hurriedly handed the bamboo basket and broom to Li Yu's hand.

Li Yu held a bamboo basket in one hand and a broom in the other. He smiled and said, Thank you. I will take care of you next time I go shopping.

The two laughed, Okay!

The blacksmith looked at Li Yu's relaxed steps and realized that she was born with great strength. He sighed and walked back, thinking: It's a pity. If he were a man, I would accept him as his apprentice.

Li Yu watched as he walked, walked to the cloth store to pick up the stored items, and walked for a while before reaching the alley the clerk mentioned.

Li Yu looked inside and saw that there was still one meat seller who had not closed the stall. Li Yu walked over and saw a few bones, a pair of pig lungs, a pair of cockscomb oil, and a piece of about three or four pieces on the meat stall. A pound of hind leg meat.

Uncle, do you still sell this meat? Li Yu asked the butcher who was taking a nap on the meat stall.

The fat butcher looked up and saw a little girl carrying a big pot on her back. He was stunned for a moment and smiled kindly, Sell! I came a little late today and all I have left is these. I'm afraid of the gossip at home when I go home. Girl, let me help you first. Put down the raft.

Li Yu waved his hand, No need to bother, just tell me how much you can sell these for per kilogram. If the price is right, I will pay for it, so that you don't have to keep guarding it in the hot weather.

The butcher pointed at the cockscomb oil and the hind leg meat, Both of them together are six cents a pound. I'll charge you two cents a pound for the pig lungs, and I'll give you the bones as a gift!

Li Yu nodded cheerfully, Okay, how much do you weigh me?

The butcher weighed it and found that the total was nine pounds and two taels. After Li Yu paid the money, the butcher looked at the things Li Yu was carrying and said, Girl, I live where your family lives in Xishan Village. If you want to stop by, I'll take you for a ride. .”

Li Yu's eyes lit up, What a coincidence, I also live in Xishan Village.

Yes! What a coincidence that you also live in Xishan Village. It's been almost three years since my family moved to Xishan Village. Why haven't I seen you before?

I used to live in the county, and I just came home today.

So that's it! My surname is He, and I live at the end of the village, right in the house where a section of the courtyard wall collapsed. It's a little past. You can take my bullock cart back!

Thank you, Uncle He. My surname is Li, please call me Xiaoyu! My house is the one whose courtyard wall collapsed. My brother and I just came back today. Uncle He, I didn't expect that we are still neighbors. Butcher He went up to help Li Yu Put down the back bamboo basket.

What a coincidence. Butcher He packed up the tools for setting up the stall, Xiaoyu, please wait for me here while I go get the cow.

Okay. Li Yu agreed and put the meat and bones into the pot and the pig lungs into the basket. Butcher He led the cow over.

After Butcher He asked Li Yu to get on the cart, the two of them walked towards Xishan Village in the bullock cart.

Your house is closer to the ditch below, and there is a well in the yard. I originally wanted to buy your house, and we had already negotiated the price. But then your second uncle said he wouldn't sell it, so I went to the village chief. I bought a new foundation and built it myself.”

Li Yu didn't expect that the Zhang family also wanted to sell the Li family's house. The failure to sell it might be because he went to Xiao Li Yu to get the house deed but didn't get it, so he gave up the idea! I never thought there would be such greedy and shameless people in the world.

Uncle He, I didn't know that my family wanted to sell the house! Besides, the house was left to my brother by my parents and I can't sell it!

Oh! After hearing this, Butcher He thought to himself: There must be something fishy between the little girl's surname Li and the seller's surname Zhang. Fortunately, the purchase was not successful, otherwise it would have been troublesome.
