Changing Charcoal

Liu Xing's offer was incredibly enticing. The weather had turned cold this year, and there was an insufficient supply of charcoal. Currently, everyone was scrambling to buy cotton, causing the price of cotton to rise by an extra cent per half a kilos.

Back then, a cent was significant. One quilt required at least five kilos of cotton, meaning that making a quilt now cost an extra coin!

A coin could buy a pair of cotton shoes.

Had Jiang Xia been a mere child, she would've been dazzled by such an offer and would've instantly agreed. However, Jiang Xia was sharp-minded. What she was after wasn't just the cotton but the continuous supply of charcoal in Liu Xing's home.

Compared to cotton, the real need now was the daily-used charcoal!
