116 You want to buy them? (2/2)

” Cotton cloth.. I want huge rolls of cotton cloth.” The shop assistant was immediately taken back as soon as he listened to the request, because an entire roll of cotton was indeed quite costly. After the initial shock passed, he kindly reminded them, ” Young master, each roll costs about five gold coins. Well, how many rolls do you want.”

Xia Lian paused for a moment before replying, ” I want about 100 rolls.”

The shop assistants jaw dropped to the floor as he stuttered, ” Young master the entire store only possesses only 40 rolls at the moment.”

” Then pack all of them and tell me where to pay the bill.” The little girl spoke while taking the money pouch from her robes. Another young boy led her to the payment counter and everyone watched in awe while this tiny and plain kid easily paid about 200 gold coins.

” Young master, we can deliver them to your address.” the shop owner was extremely polite to them after receiving such a huge business deal. Xia Lian didn't refuse his gesture of goodwill,” Then many thanks to you kind sir. We are searching for a new house. We will come back later to give the address to you.”

The shopkeeper nodded in understanding and promised to keep their purchases safe.

” Well, what are we going to buy next, master?” He simply could not comprehend as to why his master went on such a large shopping trip.

” We need to buy some pails, gourds and raw cotton.”

Now it slowly dawned upon him! His master was buying all this equipment for the slaves she acquired today. Sigh! Using cotton silk to dress 100 outcasts. Anyone else on this continent would simply declare her as insane!

” By the way, get these herbs as quickly as possible and make sure to buy all the herbs available.” Xia Lian handed over a list to him.

” You get these herbs and I will get the other things. I need to something and I will be late. Anyways, you go back and don't wait for me.”

Bao Su accepted unwillingly, because he simply couldn't disobey her. In the end, he just sighed, ” Then, be careful master.”

Xia Lian nodded and both of them parted ways to complete their respective tasks.
