Chapter 17 Shopping

Mrs. Chen was abducted by those two local snakes at the door of the grocery store. When Shen Yao and Mrs. Chen appeared in the grocery store again, the owner of the grocery store looked at them sympathetically.

Although some people feel disdainful about such things that have nothing to do with themselves, she is still very happy if she can get some benefits from this.

Therefore, when the owner of the grocery store asked if the two of them were okay, Shen Yao rolled her eyes and immediately raised her sleeves and began to wipe away her tears.

"Hey, our mother and I managed to earn some money, and before we warmed it up, we were snatched away by those bastards. Wuwu, it's in broad daylight, why..."

Shhh!
Before Shen Yao could finish speaking, the owner of the grocery store hastily stopped her, looked around carefully, and said sadly: "Girl, I can't say this anymore, they are amazing! Don't mess with them, don't mess with them!" ah!"

As for how powerful these people are, the owner of the grocery store didn't mention a word.

"Boss, our mothers didn't have much money at first, but now they have been cheated by those bastards. It's not enough to buy some sauce and vinegar. You can see that you are a kind-hearted person. No, it’s cheaper with our mothers? I beg you, boss.”

While talking, Shen Yao wiped her tears with her sleeves, and when the boss couldn't see, she used her fingers to wipe the saliva on the corners of her eyes.

There were not only Shen Yao and other guests in the grocery store, but also some other customers, and even a few who came early also saw that Mrs. Chen was taken away halfway, so they also pleaded for Shen Yao.

So many people pleaded for Shen Yao, the owner of the grocery store couldn't hold back his face, so he nodded and agreed to sell all the goods to Shen Yao and Shen Yao at [-]% off the original price.

With a [-]% discount, that would save a lot of money in total.

Mrs. Chen was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly.

The grocery store has a complete range of things, including oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, but it is different from the things Shen Yao has seen in her previous life. The things here are all placed in big jars, and she can carry her own if she needs anything. Come buy a small jar.

Until today, Shen Yao finally understood what making soy sauce is.

Chen's family was poor, not to mention oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, and they didn't even have jars to hold these things. The two of them had no choice but to spend another five copper coins in the grocery store to buy four small jars.

Although the discount was given, it still cost a lot of money after buying everything.

The copper plate that had been half-packed suddenly shrunk a lot, which made Shen Yao very distressed.

After buying soy sauce and vinegar at the grocery store, the two went to the side street to buy oil.

The people who set up stalls on this street are all rural people who have come to the city. The vegetables and fruits grown at home are sold for money.

There are also some planted with peanuts and rapeseeds, and the oil is squeezed and sold.

Although the oil here is not as transparent as the oil in the grocery store, it tastes pure and cheap, so it is the most suitable place to buy oil.

The two walked around half a street, compared the oils of several companies, and finally settled on the rapeseed oil of an old woman's house.

Rapeseed oil is relatively cheap, but it just tastes a bit unpleasant.

Shen Yao originally didn't plan to use rapeseed oil for cooking, but because of the tight money now, she had to be wronged for a while.

I bought a big can of rapeseed oil, and some green onions, ginger, and garlic, and the copper coins in the cloth pocket have bottomed out.

Glancing at the few copper coins in the cloth pocket, Mrs. Chen sighed: "I spent a lot of money today, come back another day!"

When Chen Shi said this, Shen Yao was drooling while staring at the noodles sold at the roadside stall.

The two of them came out early in the morning and walked more than ten miles of dirt roads, crying about being poor and fighting. By this time, she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.

To be honest, Mrs. Chen was also hungry.

It's just that the two of them have limited money and can't afford noodles.

Taking out the steamed buns given by the big-eyed girl from her pocket, Mrs. Chen thought for a while and then tore off the remaining chicken leg and handed it to Shen Yao.

"Give!"

After fighting with the bad guys, Shen Yao even forgot that they still have roast chicken and steamed buns.

After happily eating a steamed bun and several mouthfuls of chicken legs, Shen Yao finally felt that her stomach was no longer bulging.

only……

"Why do you only eat steamed buns? Isn't there roast chicken?"

Chen Shi, who was chewing steamed buns dryly, rolled his eyes at her: "You gnawed on that chicken, and it's full of your saliva, it's dirty!"

dirty?
Shen Yao blew up, you are dirty!Your whole family is dirty!
Before she could curse out loud, Shen Yao suddenly closed her mouth and smiled.

Think she is dirty?Isn't that just right?Turns out the whole chicken is her own!
Shen Yao really deserves to be a big fat man of nearly two hundred catties, one chicken leg and two steamed buns are only seventy percent full.

The big-eyed girl only brought a roast chicken and four steamed buns, three of which were eaten by Shen Yao.

Looking at her anxious little eyes, Chen suddenly remembered the way her son looked at her when she was alive, her heart softened, and she gave her half of the steamed bun in his hand.

Mrs. Chen thinks she is dirty and won't eat chicken, but she still thinks Mrs. Chen is dirty!

I don't want to eat half a steamed bun!
Shen Yao smashed her mouth, took the half steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, she didn't care about whether it was dirty or not.

After eating something, the two headed towards Xingfu Village with the spoils of war.

When I came, I came empty-handed, and when I left, there were several bottles and cans. If I walked back, I would have to go until dark.

Shen Yao glanced at the oil tank in her bosom, and asked vaguely: "Is there a carriage back to Xingfu Village in the city?"

Mrs. Chen walked ahead carrying four pots: "No, only the bullock cart."

The people in Xingfu Village are not happy at all, they are all very poor, how can they afford a carriage?
However, bullock carts are also considered carts!
Shen Yao's eyes lit up: "How much is a ride? Is it expensive?"

Their money was not easy to come by, and the five taels of silver that the young lady donated could not be moved, and the two of them only had a few copper coins.

"One person, one copper plate!"

Mrs. Chen has never been in a bullock cart, and she used to walk in the city before, but she heard from Wang Cuihua that it was like a copper coin.

Shen Yao cheered up, it's only a copper plate, not expensive at all!

"Let's go back in the car!"

For fear that Mrs. Chen would disagree, Shen Yao added on purpose: "Look, the two of us carry so many bottles and cans, it would be a bad thing if we bumped into them along the way. These things cost a lot of money. , if it is spilled, I will really feel distressed!"

There was a bit of a discussion tone in the speech, even Shen Yao didn't notice it.

The word "No" was about to be uttered subconsciously, Chen looked at Shen Yao panting and holding the oil jar, and immediately swallowed those two words back.

"Go to the gate of the city and have a look. If the car is not full, go back by car."
