Chapter 1399: Using Sugarcane as Carrying Pole

In the end, what happened was that by the time Muir finished buying his clothes, Parker wasn’t done shopping yet.
He visited nearly the entire street. He had looked at a lot but bought only a few pieces. It could be said that by the end of it, most men didn’t understand fas.h.i.+on elements as much as him.
As it was nearing twelve, Bai Qingqing was starving. She eagerly stared at Parker, who was still feeling conflicted about which piece of clothing to buy.
Curtis glanced at Bai Qingqing and dragged her out. “Let’s leave first.”
“Hey, wait a minute.” Parker hurriedly called after them. He said to the salesperson, “I want these few pieces. Quickly wrap them up.”
By now, Parker had gotten incredibly familiar with the shopping terminology.
Bai Qingqing quickly grabbed Curtis and said, “I’ll swipe my card.”
Parker bought a lot of clothes, 20 to 30 pieces of them. Among these pieces were s.h.i.+rts, pants, shoes, and also scarves, belts, brooches, watches, caps, leather gloves, and earrings (which were already being worn), etc. To a beastman like Parker who could endure hards.h.i.+ps, he expressed that this little bit of pain was considered nothing. Also, he felt that he looked very handsome wearing them.
However, the combined cost wasn’t even half of Winston’s four sets. They were mostly cheap goods, and only the watch cost a bit more.
After buying these pieces, Parker couldn’t move with so many shopping bags. There were simply too many bags; even if he was a beastman, it was still too much for him to carry.
“Wait here. We’ll go and buy clothes for Curtis,” said Bai Qingqing.
Parker’s expression turned bitter. Actually, he had felt that these weren’t enough, but he hadn’t expected that added together, these lightweight items were actually pretty heavy.
Curtis immediately said, “Have you forgotten that I have a lot of clothes?”
“But everyone bought some.” Even Bai Qingqing bought two dresses and a pair of shoes when she chanced upon pieces that caught her eye.
Curtis shook his head. “No need.”
Seems like Muir was really earning a lot of money. Snow had no sense of crisis regarding a lack of money and could even spend it just to be fair.
It was inevitable that he felt a bit imbalanced. Today, he realized the importance of earning money.
Now that the emergency was over, it was time to consider a long-term method of earning money.
Bai Qingqing glanced at her spouses who were laden with shopping bags and decided that they should indeed stop shopping and nodded.
“Alright.” Bai Qingqing was a tad reluctant.
Curtis stroked her head and said, “You didn’t eat much for breakfast. You must be hungry. Let’s look for something to eat.”
Bai Qingqing licked the corners of her lips and said, “Wait a while. Parker has difficulty moving around like that. I’ll see if they’re selling sugarcane outside. Let’s get one to carry the stuff.”
“What sugarcane?” Parker rubbed his healing ears and walked out from the pile of bags. “I’ll go and buy it.”
Bai Qingqing gestured and said, “It’s the stall at the entrance of the street. It’s filled with slim and long bamboo-like plants. Some have purple skin and some have green skin. Buy the ones with purple skin. I like that one.”
“Sure,” Parker responded, then dashed out.
As he was stronger and more agile than humans, he weaved through the crowd like a fish and very quickly arrived at the entrance of the street.
Seeing that the sugarcane wasn’t very firm, Parker bought two and raised them above his head. Shortly after, he was back.
Bai Qingqing weaved everyone’s shopping bags through the sugarcane. These two sugarcanes were nearly not long enough, and it was only by putting the shopping bags close together that they fit on them.
Parker cast a suggestive glance at Winston and Muir and said, “Your heights are the most similar. You two should carry it.”
Bai Qingqing wanted to roll her eyes when she heard that. Hey, half of the bags are yours! Aren’t you embarra.s.sed to say that?
Muir and Winston, however, were fine with it. They instantly worked together to lift the bags.
