Quick wear: She has turned over the big guys from all walks of life

Cheng Yuanxi's eyes paused slightly, then asked: "Is the price of food so high?"

"There's nothing we can do. There's a drought in Suizhou, and our food is transported from far away." The boss still had a smile on his face, but he was more careful, "What do the guests need?"

Suizhou is the capital of the state they just passed by, and the Shuzhou here has not been affected by the drought, so there is food.

"Grain and millet will cost one tael each, and rice and flour will cost three taels." After Cheng Yuanxi quoted the price, the boss responded crisply, "Okay, please wait a moment."

The boss called his son and his family, who were busy behind the scenes, to weigh them together.

Rice and millet cost thirty cents per catty, and each weighed 33 and a half catties. This half a catty was given as a gift by the boss because he bought more, otherwise it would only be 33 catties or one or two taels.

The rice and white flour are fifty cents per catty, and each weighs thirty catties, which is exactly three taels of silver.

The total weight is 120 seven pounds, which seems like a lot, but it only takes up a corner of the unicycle.

"Thank you boss, give me another fifty pounds of rice and flour."

"Are they fifty pounds each?" the boss asked.

Cheng Yuanxi nodded, "Yes, fifty pounds each."

"Okay, guests, sit down for a moment."

The boss took the family members to weigh it, and Cheng Yuanxi helped to make sure the weight was correct. The grains were all loaded onto the wheelbarrow, and Mingyi cleverly used the new clothes they bought and the old clothes they replaced to spread them on top of the next batch of rice flour. .

Cheng Yuanxi simply handed over the money and left.

There were 220 seven kilograms of grain in the wheelbarrow, but it was too heavy for Cheng Yuanxi to push alone. Mingyi jumped down and followed. They then went to buy what Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan needed, and then hurriedly pushed the cart out of the city.

When buying salt, Cheng Yuanxi bought three cans of salt. The price of salt is more expensive; one pound costs two taels of silver. This is true at present. If the drought affects Shuzhou Prefecture, the price will increase.

"Yuan Xi is coming out, Yuan Xi is coming out."

One of the people from the Cheng family who was guarding the city gate saw Cheng Yuanxi coming out and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Yuanxi, is there any food in the city?"

Cheng Yuanxi glanced at the other person, not knowing whether to call him smart or stupid.

"We'll talk about it later. I'll go see the clan leader and village chief first."

"No need to go, we are here." The patriarch supported the village chief, and the two came in a hurry, asking eagerly: "Yuanxi, is there food in the city?"

Cheng Yuanxi nodded, "There is food, but not much. If the clan wants to buy food, they must make a decision as soon as possible. After all, there are so many refugees here, and the food matter will soon spread."

After speaking, Cheng Yuanxi took out a tael of silver and handed it to the clan leader.

"You gave this to me before entering the city."

The clan leader hurriedly refused, "This is your entrance fee. Where can you get it back?"

"Head of the clan, I went to buy food for my family, not for the clan. You keep the money and send people to buy it immediately. You can still buy it. I heard that the food in Shuzhou Prefecture is also very tight, and the owner of the food shop is also As I said, their food is transported from far away.”

"With so many refugees coming, and several more refugees entering the city today, people in the city soon realized that it was not certain whether they could buy food."

If no refugees entered the city, the people in the city would not be in a hurry; but if they did, it would mean that food would be consumed hugely, and they would have to save food if they wanted not to go hungry. "I understand, I understand, thank you Yuan Xi; we will gather people into the city right now."

The clan leader and village chief hurried back to gather people to bring carts into the city to buy grain; Cheng Yuanxi took the grain to Cheng Dazhu, reported the purchased grain and the accounts, unloaded the 220 seven kilograms of grain, and left the rest One hundred kilograms of grain was brought back to their small home.

Cheng Dazhu glanced at the cart but didn't ask any more questions; he knew very well that whether it was food or not, it was the third room's business.The third bedroom has some small savings, and if the second bedroom is willing, they can use their money to buy food.

Tacitly, Cheng Dazhu didn't ask, and Cheng Yuanxi didn't say anything. When Cheng Yuanxi brought the things he bought for the two families, Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan didn't notice anything unusual at all.

"Daughter-in-law, Mingli come and eat." Cheng Yuanxi took out the meat buns generously and stuffed one into each hand.

When Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuanxi saw this, they would not ask for it even if they were greedy.

Cheng Yuanxi gave another one to Cheng Dazhu and Luo Cuihua, "Mom and Dad, I bought meat buns in the city. Eat them while they are hot."

"Keep it for the children to eat. We are both old and it would be a waste to eat it." Cheng Dazhu refused to accept it.

Luo Cuihua took her over, but turned around and gave it to Cheng Mingyue, who was in the first house. Cheng Dazhu frowned when he saw it, but he didn't say anything wrong about his old wife in front of his son.

"Third child, if you have something to eat in the future, please take care of your children first. Your family is the youngest of two. It's the time when your body is growing, so it's better to take more food. There is no need to give food to us, the old couple."

"Dad, what you said is that the children need to replenish their health, and you and your mother should also be filial." Cheng Yuanxi stuffed another one for the old man, "You eat it while it's hot, don't give it to your mother."''

After Cheng Yuanxi finished speaking, without waiting for Cheng Dazhu to speak again, he returned home with the remaining meat buns; the oil paper containing the meat buns was handed to Chen Daya.

"The remaining buns are reserved for the children to eat. There are pancakes next to the two bags. If you are hungry, take the pancakes."

Chen Daya nodded and smiled, "I know, why did you think of buying meat buns?"

"It's not that I want to buy it, it's Yiyi who wants to eat it; she is a greedy person, so in order to prevent her from being stuck in the city, I can only buy it for her." Cheng Yuanxi joked, looking at his daughter teasingly.

Mingyi gave her father a blank look.

Sorry, she is a complete scapegoat.

Look how her father smeared her.

"What nonsense are you talking about? My Yiyi is the most sensible person. You must want to eat it." Chen Daya glanced at him, went to his daughter and stuffed the meat buns to her, "Yiyi takes it, and when you are hungry, go with your brother." eat."

Mingyi nodded lightly, put the oiled paper bag into the backpack containing clothes, glanced at her biological father provocatively, and leaned against her mother to act coquettishly.

"My mother is the best to me, but my father is really bad."

"You." Chen Daya narrowed his eyes with a smile, poked his daughter's forehead, and said with a smile: "Let's see if you want to go to the city with your father."

Mingyi's eyes moved slightly, flashing with a cunning light, "The next place must be to go to the city with dad. There are delicious food in the city; if not for the lack of time, dad and I would like to stay in the restaurant and have a good meal Woolen cloth."

"Nonsense, where did our family get the money to go to the restaurant?" She gently pushed her daughter away, made some jokes, and ate meat again. Chen Daya was in a good mood.

As soon as Chen Daya left, Cheng Mingli climbed onto the unicycle and sat next to his sister, "Yiyi, is the city fun? Is it as good as our county seat?"

Mingyi only briefly recalled the county town in the original owner's memory, and then said: "The Fucheng is more prosperous than the county town, and there are more delicious food."
