Chapter 224 - 224 Preparation



After leaving Polaris, the family of three got onto the horse carriage.

The look on Qiao Changshun’s was of pure agony. A mere meal cost them over forty taels of silver, oh my god!

Even selling off his tofu recipe didn’t justify such extravagance!

Qiao Xiaomai, who didn’t have a clue about the cost of the meal, had been the one to order; and seeing how unwell she looked, Changshun didn’t bother asking the details.

If he knew it was going to be this expensive, he would’ve stopped her for sure!

Just as his heart was bleeding over the expense, Qiao Xiaomai suddenly spoke, “Let’s go to Daughter’s Pavilion.”

“Huh?” Qiao Changshun was taken aback, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

“I said, let’s go to Daughter’s Pavilion,” Qiao Xiaomai repeated.

“All, okay.” Qiao Changshun snapped back to reality, flicked the reins, and steered the donkey cart towards Daughter’s Pavilion.

Daughter’s Pavilion was a store in Bailu Town that specialized in makeup and jewelry. Zhuang Luhe and Qiao Xiaomai had almost never used these things, hence his initial surprise.

“Buy a lot, you’re also a young woman now,” Qiao Changshun soon got over his pain and began encouraging Xiaomai to spend more silver.

He was still planning on catching the wild card that was Tong Sanlang.

Xiaomai, being quite attractive, would no doubt garner more attention after a bit of a makeover!

Upon hearing this, Xiaomai just hummed noncommittally.

At Daughter’s Pavilion, she randomly bought a box of rouge and then started picking jewelry.

After seriously considering for a while, she bought a wooden hairpin.

The hairpin was fairly common, with its entire body being black. The head of the hairpin was cloud-shaped and had a red silk flower inlaid on it, below which hung a red pearl.

Red and black, a classic combination.

But that wasn’t why Xiaomai chose it. The reason Xiaomai chose it was because it was: cheap.

She was more interested in a tassel made of white jade, but that cost an outrageous ten taels of silver, so she held back.

With no other options, she had to settle for the wooden hairpin: eight hundred coins.

At such a low price, the red “pearl” was obviously fake, but that didn’t matter as long as it looked nice.

After paying, they left Daughter’s Pavilion and Xiaomai moved on to Xiangji Fabric Shop.

She chose a piece of fabric and gave a slew of instructions to the Embroidery Lady at the shop, and by the time they left, she was ten taels lighter.

Qiao Changshun watched with bottled-up protest. Spending ten taels on a piece of clothing like that could’ve bought many more pots of rouge and cheaper fabric.

“Okay, let’s go home,” Xiaomai said, having finished her errands and ready to head back home.

“Xiaomai… about your spending…” unable to hold it back any longer, Qiao Changshun decided to explain the principle behind it to Xiaomai.

Qiao Xiaomai interrupted him, “In three days, I’m going to take part in a cooking competition. With so many people watching, 1 need to look my best.” “A cooking competition? With whom?” Qiao Changshun asked, startled.

“Another girl who is quite good at cooking. There’s a cash prize for the winner,” Xiaomai said, keeping the details to a minimum.

If she were to disclose the full story, Qiao Changshun would hardly sleep these few days.

“There’s a cash prize? Then you should do your best.” Qiao Changshun’s attitude instantly changed.

She must be expecting big money from the competition to spend so much on clothes!

Thinking along those lines, he quickly asked, “Do you want to buy some ingredients for practice?”

“No need, let’s go home first,” she replied.

Of course she would prepare something, but she didn’t need to buy anything; she had everything in her space.

Bai Zhi, ha, looking down upon her as if she was the dirt under her feet.

She would use her actions to slap Bai Zhi’s arrogant face, making it swell like a steamed bun.

Waiting for that was amusing indeed..
