193 Inner Pocket
Zhao Zhan sold him five jars.
Although it was called a jar, Zhao Zhan actually used a dried gourd to empty the inside, washed it, and dried it a few times before putting the soybean paste in.
Otherwise, using ceramic jars that were heavy would just cause a lot of issues. It would be difficult to carry them on the road and they would be easily broken.
It was only when Yue Jiaojiao saw Zhao Zhan return to his room to move his things that she realized he had brought so many things along the way. When he entered the room again, Yue Jiaojiao stuffed a bun into his hand and pretended to be angry. “You didn’t even eat properly. All you care about is earning money.”
As she spoke, she handed over the purse she had with her to Zhao Zhan.
“There’s some silver in here that you gave me, and some that Master Chen gave me.
“I usually put it in my money box. Maybe you didn’t notice, but I took it with me when I left the house since you didn’t take it, Yue Jiaojiao said as she pushed the water bottle in Zhao Zhan’s direction. “Although the water on the boat is precious, I’m not as cheap as you. If we can’t stay on the boat any longer, we can find a place to stay for two days before we set off.
“Didn’t you ask Master Chen to make me a rocking chair? There’s even a sofa set made under the pavilion in the backyard, and the Wardrobe I asked him to make. Master Chen drew these things, and if anyone wants to order it from him, he’ll give me 20% of the silver.”
we’ve accumulated some after such a long time. Count it and see if it’s enough for our journey.
In the beginning, all of Zhao Zhan’s money was given to her for safekeeping. Later on, because she had to buy all day and still have to calculate the amount of money she received, Yue Jiaojiao simply let Zhao Zhan keep all of the money he usually earned for himself. The money in her purse was completely forgotten.
Zhao Zhan, who obediently drank the water, reached out and took the purse.
Master Chen probably knew that she found the piles of silver pieces too heavy, so he waited for the amount to be enough before exchanging them for banknotes. There was a total of 150 silver in banknotes.
He got up and took out a needle and thread from his bundle. Then, he divided the silver notes into several groups and sewed them into the inner part of Yue Jiaojiao’s clothes.
“When did you learn how to sew?”
“Before we set off,” Zhao Zhan lowered his eyes and carefully sewed. The man’s long arms and legs curled up in the narrow cabin, looking inexplicably aggrieved. “I changed the silver at home into banknotes to make it lighter. There are still a few clothes that haven’t sewn in holders.”
Yue Jiaojiao lowered her head to look at her own clothes, and subconsciously wanted to take off her outer shirt to take a look.
“Don’t catch a cold.” Zhao Zhan held her hand down and looked at Yue Jiaojiao with a pampering expression. “I’ll sew it here for you. I was afraid that you’d find it too cold, so I only put one flat piece. The inner pocket was also sewn up with silk.”
He said as he placed his hand on her waist.
Yue Jiaojiao sheepishly smiled. She was wearing thick clothes now, so it was no wonder that she didn’t feel any changes in her clothes along the way.
“Don’t sew them all into my clothes.” Yue Jiaojiao thought about the fighting power of the two of them, and her eyes curved into crescents. “If things really get so bad that we split up, I’ll end up using all the silver. If you don’t bring any silver with you, how will you find me?”
This guy never thought about himself in the slightest when he did things. Yue Jiaojiao took the needle and thread from his hands and put them aside. Then, without any explanation, she got up and stuffed her clothes back into her bag. “Zhao Zhan, you’re tough and aren’t afraid of being attacked. Sew a few more pieces under your clothes too.”
With one of them standing and the other sitting, the ship suddenly shook violently for a moment. Yue Jiaojiao’s body swayed unsteadily, and she was immediately caught in Zhao Zhan’s arms.
