Farming with Taobao - C14
CHAPTER XIV Luck Is Not a Disaster (3)
When Li Yannian was selling the eggs, she realized that she had made a huge mistake! She had forgotten that the system had a trading limit. Previously, she had sold forage leaf and eggs for a total of 178 yuan, leaving her with only 822 yuan in monthly transactions. She could not help but smile bitterly as she looked at the few baskets of eggs at home. Fortunately, they were still in the middle of winter and would not be bad in a few more days, so she could only hope that after the seller’s credit rose to two stars, the transaction value would increase from one thousand to a little more.
In the end, Li Yannian only sold 288 eggs, 12 for a dozen, and a dozen for 34. She sold them for 816 yuan.
Looking at the three digits that jumped out of the account, that sense of frustration Li Yannian had instantly disappeared without a trace.
Black Bean had told her before, that the previous time they went to Bookstore, the shopkeeper had preferred the four-foot-four paper grade, and said that the size was just right for the paper that the teacher in the school had reserved for him to do her homework. Furthermore, because the paper they had provided was of good quality, the shopkeeper had even asked if there was a four-foot-one grade, and if there was, the price could be agreed upon.
So once Li Yannian sold the egg, she immediately opened the system’s search Xuan paper. There wasn’t enough time to compare the prices, and there wasn’t enough time to see if there were any historical orders available, so she clicked on the link to the sixth grade Xuan paper at the very front, adding 10 blades 4 feet into the shopping cart.
After the fourth order purchase rights were exercised, the limit of this month’s transaction was considered to have been exhausted. Li Yannian sighed, a one star merchant was truly bitter. It seemed that they would have to continue with their porridge and wild vegetables for some time. She turned her head and her gaze fell upon the baskets of eggs piled in the corner. Well, the only thing she didn’t have to worry about this time was not having eggs to eat.
With a “pa ji” sound, the air suddenly exploded and a large package appeared out of nowhere on the ground. Li Yannian was already used to this scene. Familiar with it, she lifted up her robes, squatted, and began to unpack.
Just with Li Yannian’s small physique, it took a bit of effort for her to finish checking the number of goods she had bought. She was pleased to find that the seller had generously given her an additional four feet cut, and also given her a few handwritten books, two brushes, and a small bottle of ink.
On the other hand, the brush and ink could be kept for Black Bean to use. Thinking like this, Li Yannian left the Xuan paper that the seller gifted him, and the ink and the written word brush in the basket. She was prepared to tell the two brothers about this after they returned home. Although they couldn’t go to the private school, they could still learn by themselves with a letter in hand.
Just as he was thinking about this, Mao Dou’s cheerful knocking voice came from outside the door. “Big sis, we’re back. Hurry and open the door. Big brother will buy it for you …”
Li Yannian guessed that Black Bean was definitely covering his mouth to prevent him from speaking. Opening the door to take a look, it turned out to be true, Black Bean’s large palm was tightly covering her brother’s mouth, when he saw the door open, Mao Dou looked at her with a pitiful expression, and then rolled his eyes at Black Bean who was the elder brother.
Puchi … Li Yannian could not hold back and laughed: “Brother, let him go quickly. Look at his face, how stifled is he?”
Black Bean laughed and pushed people in, and only after entering the door did he let go of his brother. Once Mao Dou was free, he immediately forgot how he was beaten up by Black Bean just now.
“Sis, we just met the young man, and I already bought some osmanthus oil for you. Get your bro to take it out quickly, that oil smells really good.”
Black Bean’s face reddened, and he glared at his brother: You’re the one who’s talking too much.
He then took out two items from his bosom and handed them over to Li Yannian: “In a few years, you will be a big girl. Although mother is no longer around, and brother is here, other girls have them, you should have them too.”
The osmanthus oil was emitting a cheap fragrance, the hair string was not too long off, its essence was not simple, it was gorgeous, and from head to toe, it emitted an aesthetics that could kill people, but it was the best gift Li Yannian had ever received. Being cared for and protected by a child who was actually a dozen years younger than her, she couldn’t describe the feeling in her heart. She was moved and said, “Brother, this rope is so beautiful. I’ll go and put it away first.”
Black Bean nodded his head, and then casually pushed her into the house. He saw that there were obviously a few baskets of eggs missing, and when he looked at the Xuan paper in the middle of the house, he immediately understood.
“Is this a new piece of paper?”
As Black Bean spoke, he reached out his hand to touch it, and Mao Dou also had a face full of curiosity, but as he was afraid that he might touch something broken, he endured the pain and did not move, sticking to his brother’s side, opening his eyes to take a closer look.
“The paper this time seems to be better than the last one. I can’t say for sure, but it feels thinner and more even when I touch it …”
Li Yannian thought for a while. Last time, she bought less than 14 yuan, but this time, it was worth 16.8 yuan. In the past, she had also conveniently placed an order on behalf of the big sister units that she couldn’t buy online, so she really didn’t know the difference between them. Now that she heard Black Bean’s words, she was actually happy in her heart. It seemed that the old saying of splitting the goods with a single point was reasonable.
Black Bean shook his head: “You don’t have to worry about this, I really didn’t hide it from you, the shopkeeper liked it the last time I gave him paper, he didn’t even ask about anything, and directly offered a price, and if there’s still more, I’ll just directly bring it to his house, the price is fine anyways.”
Li Yannian kept feeling that this matter was going too smoothly, and she was unsure of what to do.
Black Bean saw through her concerns and comforted her: “Don’t worry, brother knows what to do. This time, I will send a paper back to their home. On the other hand, why are there so many eggs left at home? ”
Li Yannian’s face immediately flushed red, feeling extremely embarrassed. At that time, she was still telling Black Bean how she would take as much as she could, but in the end, she had already put in half of the money she had on hand. In the end, she had completely forgotten the rules set by the system.
“This… Eh, I’ll have to wait a few more days. I’ll have to wait until next month to be transferred out. When we cook lunch, brother, let’s fry some eggs and vegetables. Oh yes, how can we send these papers to the Bookstore? “It’s not light …”
Li Yannian tried to change the topic, but as soon as she asked, she was immediately distracted.
“On this matter, we still have to go to the Uncle Li’s house next door. In the entire village, only his family is willing to help us, and his mouth is firm, what do you think? ”
Fifty yuan plus a day’s worth of beans really wasn’t a cheap price. Originally, he had wanted to let the Uncle Li drive the carriage to the Du Jia Village with him, but it was true that the less people knew about this matter, the better.
Black Bean immediately nodded his head in agreement: “Alright, I’ll do as you say. I’ll go ask after lunch.”
Mao Dou, who had been silent all this time, blinked his bright eyes. “Big bro, can you bring me along?”
Li Yannian and Black Bean turned to look at him at the same time. One of them smiled while the other spoke in unison with an ashen face: “Of course, no!”
Mao Dou immediately withered like a dead bean.
“Hmph, if you don’t want to go, then don’t! Who cares!”
Li Yannian was so angry by his small appearance that she started laughing. When she thought of the words written on the brush that she put away previously, she immediately took it out as if she was offering treasures as she removed the transparent membrane that sealed it, and opened it for the two brothers to see.
“That’s because Dou Dou will be studying hard at home in the future. In the future, she will be a top scholar and she will be a senior official protecting her brother and sister. Of course, she can’t play around like before. Don’t you think so, Dou Dou?”
Black Bean touched the letter excitedly and shockingly, the words on it were even better than what the teacher had written, but Mao Dou was so excited that he hugged his brush while laughing and jumping, “Bro, it’s really a brush! I can also learn how to read in the future. Sis, I won’t play with big brother anymore, I want to stay home and practice. ”
Black Bean looked at his sister excitedly. Under her gaze, Li Yannian smiled and nodded: “Brother, after we’ve been busy all this time, we’ll earn the money to fix the house. You should stay home and learn how to write.”
At this moment, countless questions flashed past Black Bean’s mind. Where did all these things come from, and how did he get hold of them? But it was the same as before, he had deliberately ignored the changes after his sister’s illness had awoken. Perhaps subconsciously, he wanted to grasp the happiness in front of him tightly and not change anything …
“Mm, I’ll listen to you.”
He nodded heavily, and met Li Yannian’s gaze with a grin on her face.
