  Su Guan wanted to buy four pairs of shorts and one pair of longs, so she bargained with the boss.
  "Boss, I want four pairs of shorts and one pair of longs. I've done so much business with you at once. Can you give me a discount?"
  After all, it was a business of several taels of silver, so it doesn't matter if it's cheaper. The shopkeeper of the tailor shop looked at Su Guan and started to calculate the bill.
  All the expenses added up, a total of three taels of silver and thirty coins. He finally gave a number:
  "I'll charge you three taels of silver and twenty coins."
  It was only a discount of ten coins, which was too little. Su Guan felt that he could still bargain.
  "Boss, please give me a little less. Now the world has changed. Our whole family has to make clothes. If you give me a little less, we will all come to you to make clothes in the future. Is that okay?"
  Hearing this, the boss looked at the brother and sister. Judging from their clothes, they didn't look like a rich family. They made clothes as a family. Do they have so much money?
  "Who is Su Jing to you?"
  The boss squinted his eyes and suddenly asked such a question.
  "He is my biological brother!"
  Su Guan answered quickly. Since he was asked this question, he must know the eldest brother, otherwise he would not ask.
  "Are you Su Xiucai's sister?"
  When he first reported the name, he did not pay much attention, but remembered it later.
  Su Guan nodded. She looked a bit like Su Jing.
  "Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier? How about I give you another ten cents off? Su Xiucai is a good person, well-educated, and handsome. I am willing to give him face!"
  These days, people with knowledge are respected. He is also a scholar. He is the top of the provincial examination this year. He has a good chance of passing the imperial examination. Who doesn't want to curry favor with him? Well,ten cents is ten cents. Ten cents is enough to buy a pound of meat.
  "Thank you very much!" Su Guan bowed to him slightly.
  The boss smiled and waved his hand:
  "Okay, tell me the shoe size, I will find it for you!"
         Su Guan didn't know the shoe sizes of the five brothers, so he looked at Su Chen.
  Su Chen knew that she wanted to buy shoes for all her brothers, but the shoes at home were still wearable, so it was unnecessary to spend so much money, so he pulled Su Guan aside and muttered:
  "Forget it, Guan Guan, you can buy it for the eldest brother, we don't need it, there is no need to wear new shoes in the countryside!"
  Knowing that he was reluctant to spend money, Su Guan was helpless. The cloth on their shoes was rotten and had holes on the uppers, and the soles were worn out. Why didn't they change them? "Don't feel sorry for the money. The most important thing is to feel comfortable. Money can still be earned."
  "This is all your money. You should keep it for yourself and don't spend it on us!"
  Su Chen was still embarrassed. The idea was hers, and the capital was also earned by her. It had nothing to do with them.
  She had helped to pay off the thirty taels of usury, and it was outrageous to spend her money.
  "Third brother, you don't consider me as a family member, right? Although I came up with the idea, you guys helped me do everything when I was doing it. I just talked a lot. This is the result of our joint efforts. If you divide it into yours and mine, wouldn't it be strange? Could it be that after all this time together, you still can't accept me as your sister?"
  Su Guan's expression was a little hurt, which made Su Chen's heart tighten and a sense of guilt surged up.
  "Without Guan Guan, you know our family conditions. My parents have six children to raise, the children have to go to school, and we have to pay taxes for eight people. We owed a lot of money over the years and didn't save any money at all. If you can make money, you should think more about yourself and leave some money for yourself!"
  Su Chen hurriedly explained, fearing that she would continue to misunderstand.
  Su Guan smiled and sighed:
  "Third brother, I'm still young. Now my eldest brother is going to take the imperial examination. Our family is counting on him to succeed, but I know that my brothers are not mediocre and will never be mediocre all their lives. All these I do for you are also for my own consideration. Don't tell me that you will be successful one day and leave me alone?"
  Su Chen hurriedly shook his head when he heard it:
  "Of course not, you are our biological sister, we will take care of you no matter what!"
  "That's it, so relax, third brother, we are connected by blood, why should we divide it so clearly?
  A family prospers and suffers together, and we share the happiness and difficulties together!"
        She patted the back of his hand to comfort him. At that moment, Su Chen felt that she was shining.

  Finally, he nodded, and imitated his elder brother, touching Su Guan's head.
  "Thank you, Guan Guan!"
  Su Guan didn't do all this simply for the purpose of conquering them, she really longed for family affection, so everything she did was sincere.
  Perhaps this body was connected to their blood, so she couldn't ignore this intimacy.
  Su Chen knew the brothers' shoe sizes, and the boss found a pair for each of them. The long boots were prepared for the eldest brother, and the robe had to be matched like this to look good.
  Put the shoes here for now, and come to get the clothes and take them to the academy.
  In total, I spent almost seven taels of silver, and there were more than sixteen taels left. Many things had to be bought.
  I bought another twenty kilograms of flour, and this time I directly bought twenty kilograms of almond oil, and bought three kilograms of fresh pork belly and three kilograms of spare ribs.
  In the future, almond oil will replace lard. The prices of the two are similar, and almond oil is better than lard.
  I went to buy some dried flowers. There was no source of fresh flowers now. If I wanted to make shampoo soap, it must have a fragrance to sell well. So I simply bought spices, ground them into powder and added them to the soap.
  I also had to buy oil paper for packaging.
  I spent ten taels of silver in one morning. Now I have thirteen taels left. With the original two taels, there are fifteen taels left.
  Su Chen worked as a porter honestly and worked hard without complaint.
  By the way, I promised Jiang Yu to buy a chicken to eat, but where can I buy a chicken?Just when I wanted to ask where to buy a chicken, I heard a little girl calling her from behind.
  "Sister, sister!"
  Su Guan turned around and saw that the little girl who called her looked familiar. After careful recollection, she found that it was the little girl who sold chicks with her grandmother last time.
  "It's you. You are here to sell chicks on the street again today." Su Guan bent over and spoke to her.
  The little girl shook her head:
  "No, the chicks are all sold out. I came here with grandma to get medicine today!"
  "Are you going to Jishan Hall?" Su Guan asked.
  The little girl continued to nod. That would be great. She would also go to Jishan Hall to deliver shoes to her second brother.
  "It just so happens that I am also going to Jishan Hall. We can go together!"
  The old lady couldn't see and was supported by her granddaughter.
  "You are the girl who bought my chicks last time, right?" She recognized Su Guan's voice.
  "Yes, grandma!" Su Guan replied with a bright smile.
  "Thanks to you. If you hadn't started it, I guess they would have continued to lower the price."
  Fortunately, Su Guan started it last time. After they bought it, although they still lowered the price, it was not much.
  "It's okay. It's not easy for everyone. Since it's on the way, let's go together!"
  She also carried things in her hands, and she didn't want to let her third brother pick them all.
