Chapter 18： buy

Chapter 18 Purchase

The Wei family heard people say that this shop is the best grain shop in the county. Although the price has risen, they still decided to buy a stone of rice.

Yin Miao only knew the quantity of a stone of rice when the shop assistant packed a bag of rice and tied it up.

One stone of rice converted into kilograms in later generations is about 60 kilograms, which is much more than Yin Miao imagined.

Seeing that the people who came to buy rice were all women and children, the shopkeeper recommended their delivery service. As long as you pay another 2 cents, the food can be delivered to any location in Changling County.

"We need delivery." Yin Miao took out another two cents and put it on the table.

"Okay, I promise to help you deliver it to the city gate on time." Although the shopkeeper wondered why this little girl was in charge of the money, he heard the little girl ask, "How do you sell wheat?"

"One bucket of wheat is 300 wen." The shopkeeper's answer surprised Yin Miao slightly, ten buckets is one stone, which means that one stone of wheat costs three taels of silver? !

Is wheat so much more expensive than rice? !

And this is unmilled wheat.

But Yin Miao still bought a bucket and added two buckets of the cheapest sorghum rice. Just because these are the crops in her space.

"It turns out that buying things is so expensive." Wei Shi said, they have spent a full two taels of silver now, and there are still some things that have not been bought.

"We're overspending."

Mrs Zhen said with a smile, they originally only had one tael of silver plus 30 pennies, but now they spend all the "ill-gotten wealth" that Yin Miao looted from the bandits.

"Mother, auntie, you can buy it with confidence, I still have a lot here." Yin Miao did not feel bad about spending other people's money.

So in the next hour, the family filled the entire bamboo basket to the brim, and Brother Han couldn't move for a long time and let Wei hold it.

"Why don't we find a restaurant to eat first?"

Yin Miao was already hungry with her chest on her back. They only ate some lettuce and mushroom soup in the morning before departure. There is still more than half an hour before their gathering time.

"Okay, okay, I think that one is pretty good." Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up, and she followed Miao'er to eat meat!

Mrs. Zhang was referring to a restaurant opposite, and she could already smell the scent of the lion's head floating there.

"Three aunts have the most effective nose, this is the one."

Yin Miao smiled.

There were not many guests in the restaurant, so Yin Miao chose a spacious place in the corner, and then asked Mrs. Zhang to order the dishes.

"Everyone, please wait a moment, Xiao Er will go to inform the kitchen."

The shop assistant with white cotton cloth hanging on his shoulders was sleepy at first, but he didn't expect that the customers at this table, who seemed to be dressed in ordinary clothes, would order so many dishes, and he immediately came to his senses.

"Will it be a bit too much?" Mrs. Zhang asked embarrassedly, she just ordered twelve dishes, and she didn't know how much money it would cost.

"What more? We can take it back with us." Wei Shi smiled.

"Mother, you guys wait here first, I want to go ahead and buy some seeds to plant in the yard to try."

Yin Miao had long been eyeing a stall selling seeds when she came here.

"I'm going with Sister Miao." Yin He said immediately.

"No need, I'll come when I go." Yin Miao refused to accompany her cousin, because she still had some things she wanted to buy.

The old lady who sold the seeds saw the little girl with red lips and white teeth looking at her seeds for the first time.

"Little girl, what I sell here is seeds, not delicious." The old lady said with a smile.

"Do you sell any herbal seeds here?" Yin Miao did not explain, she was worried that her family would be in a hurry, so she asked directly.

Are you really here to buy seeds?

"I have herb seeds here, but there are not many kinds. Tell me which one do you want?"

"I want everything, and some vegetable seeds as well." Yin Miao said immediately when she heard that there were still herb seeds.

"Everything? I have more than a dozen here..." The old lady was surprised, no one had ever bought seeds like this before.

"I can't remember the names of the seeds that my grandfather said, why don't you just buy some of each."

Yin Miao smiled innocently, and then took out a tael of silver and some copper plates from the cloth bag behind her, indicating that she really wanted to buy it.

"Okay, but I can agree that the seeds I sell here cannot be returned, even if your grandfather comes."

said the old lady.

Yin Miao nodded her head in a hurry. She quickly got a bunch of various seeds packaged in paper bags, and then she casually put some of the seeds from the cloth bag into the space.

On the way back to the restaurant, she saw a side of the road selling chicks and cubs. After an idea came to her, she went forward and bought twelve cubs.

If only poultry could be raised in the space, Yin Miao thought to herself.

When we returned to the restaurant, the dishes were all ready, but the Wei family were still waiting for Yin Miao and did not move their chopsticks.

"Miao'er is back!" Mrs. Zhang shouted happily, and it was finally time for dinner!

"It's so fragrant." Yin Miao looked at the dishes on the table full of flavors and aromas, and immediately devoured her family with her index finger.

Wei Shi and they were hungry for a month, but she was hungry for two lifetimes.

There are no such meals in the last days.

She never thought that ancient food could be so delicious, and the fragrant meatballs were even better than any meatballs she had eaten before the end of the world.

Mr. Zhang finally got his favorite fish fillet as he wished: "It's worth getting kicked."

She stopped the bandit for Yin Miao and was kicked mercilessly by the other party. Now that she has food to eat, she felt that the minor injury was not worth mentioning at all.

"Brother and sister, thank you today." Mrs. Wei was still very grateful to Mrs. Zhang. She didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to go all out to protect Miao'er.

"No thanks, no thanks, if it weren't for Miao'er, I would have starved to death, but Miao'er is so powerful."

Mrs. Zhang said while eating, in fact, she didn't help much at all.

"Sister Miao, can you teach me kung fu?" Yin He asked suddenly.

"I want to learn to fight too!" Brother Han shouted with the drumstick in his hand.

"Do you want to learn kung fu?" Seeing the two nodding, Yin Miao thought for a moment and felt that this was also a good idea.

"I can't teach people kung fu, I can only give pointers to you, but it may be difficult at first. Brother Han is still too young, so he may not be able to persevere."

Yin Miao said that she had never learned kung fu before, and all those moves and moves were learned while fighting zombies.

"I will persevere. Daddy said that I will protect my sister in the future!"

Brother Han unexpectedly insisted, and even put down the chicken leg in his hand.

Wei Shi's nose was sour, and he touched Brother Han's face and said, "Han'er wants to learn, let him learn. In this world, a man should have his own skills."

Yin Miao no longer refused, and immediately agreed.

The well-fed family also packed some sauced beef for the three people who stayed at home, and then walked to the place where they gathered - the gate of the county town.

Luo Dazhi and Luo Xiaobao had come back and were sitting on the mule cart waiting for a few people. At the same time, the third wife was carrying a bamboo basket covered with a cloth bag, which seemed to be very heavy.

"You bought so many things?" Luo Dazhi asked in surprise.
