Peasant Girl's Jingxiu Pastoral

Chapter 40
Before leaving the private room, Yue Yue said to shopkeeper He: "Uncle He, this black fungus is not available in every season, so it is estimated that there may not be too many stocks."

After a pause for a while, Yue Yue continued: "Bamboo shoots are available in four seasons, but the taste of bamboo shoots in each season may be quite different, but please rest assured that no matter what black fungus you find recently How much, we will handle it, dry it, and then send it to Fumanlou, the same goes for bamboo shoots, as for other ingredients, if we meet, we will definitely send them to you."

Shopkeeper He didn't feel embarrassed when he heard what Yan Yue said. After all, he has managed Fumanlou for many years, so he also knows that some ingredients are divided into seasons.

"Okay, if there are new ingredients in the future, you must send them to my Fumanlou!"

Lu Yue smiled and nodded, "Of course!"

Immediately, a group of four people took their backpacks and cloth bags and bid farewell to Shopkeeper He.

When the four of them left Fumanlou, Yan Yue found an empty corner and asked the Mu brothers and sisters to stand by and watch, while she reached into her cuffs and took out the bag containing silver. I lost my sister Yingyu.

But Yingyu didn't pick it up, but pulled Yunyue and whispered to her: "Yueyue, this is the money you earned, you should take it!"

Seeing her sister's refusal, Yan Yue hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Sister, you see that I am so old, it would be unsafe for me to carry it with me, you should take it, and when you get home, let's give it to parents!"

After saying that, she didn't allow her eldest sister to refuse, she just put the money bag in her hand, and said to her sister: "Sister, put it away quickly, it's not good for others to see it, it will be dangerous!"

When her sister heard about it, she quickly looked around and found no one else, so she stuffed the money bag into her sleeve and hid it!
After her sister hid it, Yan Yue said: "Elder sister, let's go shopping together, see if there is anything to buy, and then buy it and take it back!"

Seeing her sister nodding, Yanyue turned around and looked at the Zixi brothers and sisters who were still watching, and then asked them if they had somewhere to go. The brothers and sisters shook their heads and said no. , then let’s go together and go back together after shopping!”

In this way, the four of them went shopping again. When they passed by a grocery store, Yan Yue took the lead into the store, and then turned around.

The shop owner didn't dislike the four people's clothes, but kept smiling and watching Yan Yue and the others walking around in the shop.

Yue Yue saw that the boss was nice, and then asked about the prices of some commonly used foods. After asking, Yue Yue decided to buy three catties of rapeseed oil and two catties of table salt.

Oil is 35 grains a catty, and lard is 25 grains a catty. Yan Yue didn’t buy it, thinking it’s better to cook the oil at home, which is clean and safe. Continue to take a turn at the grocery store!
Looking at the grocery store in front of her, Yue Yue felt that in ancient times, as long as there were fresh food or other new gadgets or new ingredients, it was very profitable, but relatively, the consumption was also very high. On a good day with enough food and clothing, you have to work harder!

Yingyu and Mu's brothers and sisters have been following Yunyue closely, watching Yunyue pick and choose in the grocery store, when they turned to a corner, Yunyue found that there was still white flour in the store, so she asked the shopkeeper how to sell it , the shopkeeper standing at the counter said 30 grains a catty, so Yan Yue asked him to weigh five catties, which cost 150 grains!
Then he was about to ask the shopkeeper if he had any rice for sale. To be honest, Yue Yue wanted to eat rice all at once, but with the conditions at home, there was only so much rice. Needless to say, his parents would definitely not agree to eating all at once.

Thinking of this, Yue Yue felt that it was time to buy some rice, but after walking around the store for a few times, there was no rice, so she asked the shopkeeper suspiciously!

"Why is there no rice?"

Hearing Yue Yue's question, the shopkeeper came over and said: "Little girl, you don't know this, rice is a product of the south, and it is rare in the north. Even if there is, it is shipped from the south, but Gold is expensive, and only the rich can afford it, the good ones cost 50 grains a catty, and the poor ones cost 25 grains a catty?"

Then he said: "However, if you guys are going to buy it, my little girl, then I still have some poor rice in my store. If you are sure you want to buy it, I will go and take it out!"

Hearing the price that the boss said, Yue Yue was taken aback, not to mention the sister Yingyu who was beside her kept teasing her, for fear that she would buy it, and then she went back to the shopkeeper and said, "It's so expensive, no need, I'll buy it for you." Ask!"

Then I thought, where I am staying now, although the climate is not as warm as in the south, I should be able to grow rice, or where does the rice at home come from? There are relatively few people who plant it!

But this kind of rice can only be done if there are many fields, even if it is planted once a year!

The more Yue Yue thinks about it, the more she feels that she should wait until she has money. When the money is ample, she should buy more land, and then grow more food at home, so that she doesn't have to worry about eating. Besides, if the harvest is good, it can be regarded as An innovation is not, planting good rice must be good!
