Chapter 72 Live Streamers Selling Goods on the Street

Watching Jiang Yutang act coquettishly towards the yamen runner, a strange sense of annoyance flashed in his eyes. He abruptly turned his head and muttered under his breath, "Shameless."

But the image of that bouncy figure flashed through my mind.

Jiang Yutang carried a bundle and deliberately chose to go through crowded streets, finally stopping in front of a stall selling unusual trinkets.

She approached with a smile, her tone polite and enthusiastic: "Brother, may I borrow a spot next to you to set up my stall for a while? I'll only be selling a few things, it'll be quick!"

The stall owner, a middle-aged man, glanced at her, then at the bundle on her back. His brows furrowed, his forehead wrinkles tightened, and finally he reluctantly nodded: "Fine, just don't block my business."

"Thank you, brother!" Jiang Yutang immediately put down his bundle, quickly spread out a cloth, and shook out several sun-protective clothes and hats.

She first picked up a light pink sun-protective shirt and put it on, then put the matching hat on her head and shouted loudly at passersby.

Don't miss out! Sun protection clothing and hats are lightweight, breathable, and not stuffy. They're a must-have for summer outings, so you'll never have to worry about getting sunburned again!

A clear, crisp cry rang out on the street, and passersby, seeing her strange clothes, stopped and gathered around.

Someone reached out and touched the fabric of the sun-protective clothing, then looked at the style of her clothes, frowned and said, "This clothing looks quite tight, I'm afraid it won't fit us."

"Yes, I can wear it!"

Jiang Yutang immediately picked up another white sun-protective garment and, in front of everyone, pulled it sharply to both sides. The fabric was stretched very long instantly, but it immediately bounced back to its original shape after she let go.

This amazing elasticity stunned many people on the spot, and a series of "wow" exclamations immediately rang out from the crowd.

"Look closely, everyone! This garment looks form-fitting, but it's actually very stretchy. It can fit both muscular men and curvy women!"

Jiang Yutang continued to hawk his wares, his mouth full of precise selling points, his tone exaggerated yet convincing.

She previously worked as a live-streaming e-commerce host, and her record was selling 3,000 pieces of clothing in one night. Selling these few sun protection items is a piece of cake for her now.

Soon, the onlookers were drawn to her eloquence and novel clothes, and they all asked about the price: "Miss, how much are these clothes and hat?"

Jiang Yutang cleared her throat and began to fabricate the story she had already prepared: "As you all may not know, the fabric of this dress was transported all the way from Persia. It is made from silkworms that the Holy Maiden herself raised with her spiritual power. Only a small amount is produced each year, otherwise how could it have such good elasticity and breathability?"

She deliberately elevated the status of sun-protective clothing and hats to an extremely high level, and only after seeing the audience's expressions of conviction did she change her tone and begin to play the victim.

"These clothes were originally reserved for nobles, and each one cost two hundred taels of silver! But now that our family has been exiled, it's inconvenient to carry these things around. Rather than let them get damaged on the way, we might as well clear them out and sell them off for free!"

As she spoke, she deliberately lifted her trouser leg, revealing the iron chains on her feet, her tone tinged with grievance: "Look, everyone, we are also unfortunate people, just hoping to earn some travel expenses. Today, these clothes and hats are a fixed price, thirty taels each, you won't lose out!"

The onlookers were initially attracted by the novelty and elasticity of the sun-protective clothing, but when they heard the price of "thirty taels a piece", their faces showed distress.

Thirty taels of silver is no small sum; how could an ordinary family afford it? This amount of money would be enough for five or six people to live on in the countryside for two years.

Seeing everyone's hesitant and reluctant expressions, Jiang Yutang was already prepared.

She sighed heavily, looked up at the sky, and said with a hint of understanding, "I know life in town isn't easy, and this price is indeed putting everyone in a difficult position. How about this: those who have silver, we'll go with the price; those who don't have silver, but have valuables on them, like jade pendants or silver ornaments, we can exchange them for the same value. I promise I won't let anyone down!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

A well-dressed woman hesitated for a moment before finally taking out a bronze mirror from her bundle.

The edge of the mirror was inlaid with a few ordinary pearls and small jade pieces, which did not look particularly valuable.

This bronze mirror might only be worth ten taels of silver in an ancient pawnshop, but if it were brought back to modern times, its condition and age alone would be enough to buy a small villa!

Suppressing her excitement, she deliberately frowned and feigned reluctance, handing the bronze mirror back to the woman: "Sister, this mirror is beautiful, but it's not worth thirty taels. I see it's meant for you, so I won't make things difficult for you. Let's exchange it!"

These words ignited a sense of urgency in everyone. They only had a few pieces of clothing, and now they were even willing to negotiate an equal exchange. If they hesitated any longer, they would really have none left!

The crowd instantly became lively, and those who had been observing before stepped forward one after another.

Some people gritted their teeth, took out thirty taels of silver from their pockets, and decisively bought one. Another person who looked like a merchant even wanted to use the land deed as collateral, but Jiang Yutang reluctantly refused.

After all that fuss, Jiang Yutang sold out all the sun-protective clothing and hats he brought, and finally acquired a bronze mirror, a silver hairpin, a pair of jade earrings, and 260 taels of silver.

She first went to the town's silver shop and exchanged the silver for several large-denomination silver notes. Carrying the silver notes was more convenient and safer than carrying loose silver.

As Jiang Yutang left the bank, she felt much more relaxed, and her steps were lighter. She didn't linger and went straight to the old doctor's house.

Next, it's time to buy herbs and other necessities for the journey. We need to hurry, or we'll miss our return time.

When the old doctor saw Jiang Yutang enter, his face was full of surprise. He put down the pestle in his hand and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Doctor, we will be leaving tomorrow."

Jiang Yutang explained with a smile, "I asked the guards at the gate to make an exception so I could come into the city to buy some supplies. I thought I'd come over to say goodbye to you and also buy some medicinal herbs for the journey."

Upon hearing "leaving tomorrow," the old doctor's mood visibly sombered, a hint of reluctance flashing in his eyes, but he still nodded and turned to walk towards the pharmacy.

"Okay, come with me. Tell me what medicine you need, and I'll get it for you."

Upon entering the pharmacy, Jiang Yutang named the medicinal herbs she needed.

I took some medicine for colds, fever, and diarrhea, which would be useful on the road. I also got some extra medicine to help with the pregnancy, for Zhu to take care of her health.

She took out a silver ingot from her bosom and handed it over. Upon seeing this, the old doctor quickly waved his hand and declined, saying, "Miss, this is not appropriate! It's just a few doses of medicine, it's not worth so much silver. Please take it back."

"Please accept this, Doctor." Jiang Yutang stuffed the silver into his hand, her tone sincere.

The two men were pushing and shoving each other in the pharmacy with a silver ingot. The old doctor's wife stood at the door watching them, then wisely shut her mouth and went into the kitchen.

Seeing that the old doctor still refused to accept the money, Jiang Yutang could only speak his mind.
