Chapter 21 Taking Down the Toy Crossbow
Jiang Jinning couldn't bear to eat the big rice bun. She smelled the aroma and ate two steamed buns. She couldn't resist any longer and finally waited for Liang Cheng.
Liang Cheng was also surprised to see her. She didn't expect Jiang Jinning to have prepared the spider lily so quickly. It had only been two days.
Finally, one has to admire Jiang Jinning's speed.
Xiao Yinzi is currently in Shanghai and won't be able to fly back for another two days, but Liang Cheng still paid the remaining balance to Jiang Jinning first.
Jiang Jinning had wanted to receive the money in advance, but Liang Cheng had given it to her so readily, and she felt really embarrassed.
Liang Cheng waved her hand dismissively, smiled, and patted her head, like a caring older sister.
"It's nothing. I should thank you for maintaining my old clients. You know, Xiaoyinzi is a big blogger with millions of followers. The traffic she brings is incredible."
Fans? Blogger?
Jiang Jinning didn't quite understand, but she seemed to grasp one thing: this big blogger could bring in even more money!
She smiled broadly, envying Xiao Yinzi and thinking she was very capable.
"Oh, right," Liang Cheng brought up the stall again, "I've got your eye on that stall for you. If you can't set up a stall long-term, it's charged by the day, fifty-one yuan a day, plus a ten-yuan sanitation fee. If you set up a fixed time, it's eight hundred yuan a month. The stall is a little smaller than mine, two meters, but the location is much better, with a lot of foot traffic. However, you need to put down a month's rent as a deposit."
"In my opinion, monthly rent is definitely more cost-effective, but you can try daily rent first to see how it goes, and then think about it. Anyway, you still have time; the previous tenant's lease expires in a few days. You're lucky that the transfer fee was waived!"
Jiang Jinning only half understood what she heard, and thought she would discuss it with the young general and her mother again when she got back.
When she came over, she not only finished making the small silver hairpins, but also made several other hairpins with Zhao.
There are lotus hairpins, which are the most fashionable at this time of year. The lotus flowers are lifelike, and the petals are dyed by crushing bright red flowers from the roadside. The color is more natural than some of the dyes here.
She also made a small, unnamed flower, which she saw by chance while traveling and copied.
Liang Cheng fell in love with it at first sight. If there weren't so many of these heads to wear, she would have liked to collect them all.
"The entwined flowers are so beautiful. Compared to them, my glass treasure is utterly inferior."
Not at all.
"Sister Liang's glass hairpin is so beautiful."
Jiang Jinning's tone was sincere, without any flowery language, yet her praise made people feel comfortable.
After exchanging a few more words, the crowd grew larger, and Liang Cheng no longer had time to talk to Jiang Jinning. She settled the remaining payment for the spider lily in advance and also gave her the money for the lotus hairpin and other hairpins ahead of time. This time, she took a cut, but only collected ten yuan per hairpin as a token amount.
Jiang Jinning was grateful, but felt at a loss for words regarding Liang Cheng's repeated care and didn't know how to thank him.
"Okay, okay, stop making me feel bad. To be honest, my family isn't short of money. Selling hairpins is just a hobby of mine. I'm not trying to take care of you; I do the same for everyone. But I really do have a special fondness for you. Who can blame me when you're so adorable?"
Jiang Jinning, with red eyes and sniffling, still bowed deeply, which made Liang Cheng a little flustered, and she hurriedly went to help her up.
Liang Cheng was busy, so Jiang Jinning didn't bother her. She took the money she had and bought some more steamed buns, water, and sugar-coated sesame cakes.
With a little money left, she bought more materials, this time choosing rayon.
Rayon was indeed more expensive; she bought about ten bundles and spent forty-five yuan.
This artificial silk is not available in Dali. It is a silk thread that imitates silkworm silk and is cheaper than silkworm silk. Jiang Jinning knows that even in the fairyland, silkworm silk is a precious item. She has seen the silkworm silk here, but it doesn't seem to be as good as the silkworm silk in Dali.
Putting aside silk, can you even bring back this rayon?
Jiang Jinning was a little uneasy, but she had a strange feeling that she could bring back things that Da Li didn't have before.
Don't worry about these things now, just buy it first!
She also bought some hairpin bodies, including sandalwood hairpins and U-shaped hairpins. In addition, thinking that there were some children shopping, she bought some hair clips. These hair clips were not available in Dali, but they were easier to clip onto the hair bun than hairpins.
I bought some more glass beads, glass butterflies and flowers, and she also chose beads that were 8mm in size. I also bought some smooth and round Hetian jade beads, thinking of stringing them together to make a bracelet for my mother and sister!
I didn't realize it when I was buying it, but when I checked out, I found that I had almost spent all the money without even noticing. I can't spend the rest of the money, I still need to buy a crossbow for the little general!
Clutching the money, she skipped and hopped to the crossbow vendor's stall.
The owner recognized Jiang Jinning at a glance and warmly invited her to eat watermelon.
Da Li has no watermelons.
A huge melon, cut in half, reveals its bright red and juicy flesh; one bite and its sweetness fills the heart.
Jiang Jinning ate with a smile that made her eyes crinkle.
This watermelon is delicious. When she earns money, she will definitely buy one for the little general. It will be sweet and make her feel better.
Watermelon is delicious, but Jiang Jinning dares not eat too much; such a precious food must be very expensive.
She took out the crumpled money she had been clutching, feeling boundless satisfaction and a sweet smile on her face.
"Uncle, I've saved enough money! I can buy a crossbow now!"
Jiang Jinning has excellent features and is undoubtedly beautiful, but what is most touching about her is her pair of bright and radiant eyes, which are always full of beauty. When she smiles, her eyes curve into crescents, making people feel comfortable just by looking at them.
"Look how happy the child is! Alright, we're the most capable when it comes to earning our own money to buy things. Here, take your crossbow. This one is absolutely top-notch; Uncle personally oversaw its polishing, and it's so it won't hurt your hands!"
Jiang Jinning took the toy crossbow handed to her by the boss.
The crossbow, slightly larger than her palm, could be worn on her wrist. With a gentle press of the mechanism, specially designed arrows could be fired.
The arrows were made of wood and were not sharpened, so they could not hurt people. Jiang Jinning had also tried them. The range was very short. Even if they hit someone at short distances, they would not feel any pain because it was forbidden to make weapons here. This was at most a toy.
But Jiang Jinning was still very satisfied. Even if it was a useless toy, the little general would be very happy to see it, right?
Having bought the crossbow, Jiang Jinning was in a good mood. She still had a few coins left, so she thought for a moment and bought a small extendable knife for self-defense.
She skillfully walked into the alley, packed all her belongings into a large package, and prayed to every god and Buddha she could think of, hoping to bring back rayon.
With a change of heart, Jiang Jinning returned to Dali. Unlike her usual greeting to Song Qingyan, she couldn't wait to open the package and check the rayon inside.
Upon discovering it lying quietly in the corner, Jiang Jinning's smile gradually widened.
"We really can bring it back!"
Then we can bring back lots of good things for the little general to see.
Jiang Jinning was unsure why the change had occurred; perhaps the transaction amount was larger?
"Is everything going smoothly?" Song Qingyan's deep, worried voice rang in my ears.
"It went smoothly, very smoothly, young general! I brought you a gift!"
Before the other party could react, Jiang Jinning eagerly took out the crossbow from her package and presented it to Song Qingyan like a treasure.
Her face beamed with an unprecedented smile, as happy as a child.
"Young general, I've given you a crossbow, don't be upset."
