Chapter 1222 Buying Grain

She can still wait, but it is impossible for this city to be imprisoned like this forever. It can be done in a short time, but in a long time, people's livelihood will complain. There is no country in this world that only enters and does not let it out. It was King Fenglun who was willing to keep the gates of the city closed all his life, but he was also the emperor who asked Cang Tao.

And once it really scared her, her clothes were almost soaked, and now even the wind blows can make her whole body tremble.

All she wanted now was Shuanghe Village, a pure land in the village, which was also a peaceful place, where she would be safe, and as long as she got there, no one would think of him.

As soon as possible, she found a grain and oil store. There were a lot of people going in and out of this store. She saw that Uncle Wu had been here, and that Uncle Wu could buy it here, which meant that the rice noodles here should not be too expensive. It will also be relatively fair.

She stepped forward and grabbed a handful of grains in the bag. The grains were all very clean, even the rice noodles were clean.

To be an honest businessman.

"Ahh..."

She stretched out her hand, also pointing at the rice.

The shopkeeper came over and knew what Shen Qingci's ah ah sound meant, it was dumb.

But no matter how dumb they are, they are all guests, so he also introduced to her, "polished rice costs a hundred cents a catty," and after he finished speaking, he also looked at Shen Qingci's clothes, and he knew that he was an ordinary person Since she came here, he also introduced to her the rice around him.

"Brown rice can be cheaper, about 20 cents a catty. Although it is not as delicious as polished rice, the brown rice in their rice shop is better than ordinary rice shops."

"The taste is almost as good as other people's polished rice."

"How about it..." The shopkeeper thought for a while, "The new food is coming soon."

"I'll count you 80 yuan a catty for polished rice, and 15 yuan a catty for brown rice. What do you think?"

Shen Qingci now has 800 taels of silver in his hands. The 800 taels of silver is not to say, but it is not much. The same is true. When there is no rice, they can buy it by themselves.

Even this polished rice is a little expensive, and one tael of silver can only buy about ten catties. She only has eight or two hundred silver, and she still has to leave the money to go out of the city.

It is said that they bought a lot, but they couldn't afford to eat and drink for the past three years, especially because Uncle Wu's family had no land to grow, so it was not as good as those villagers. Come to eat, so these 800 taels seem to be a lot, but in fact, if you buy thousands of catties of grain, you can't eat much.

She touched the brown rice again. She had eaten it at Uncle Wu's house. It tasted not as soft and delicious as polished rice, but it was not too bad. They all eat this kind of rice.

Therefore, Shen Qingci decided to use most of the money to buy brown rice and rough noodles, and then to buy some polished rice noodles for storage. Although these grains are heavy grains, they will not go bad in two or three years.

She touched it for a while, then took out some silver bills, then took out two hundred taels of silver bills, put them at the shopkeeper, and then pointed to the rough surface.

She took out another three hundred taels and pointed to the brown rice.

Another one hundred taels, which refers to polished rice and fine noodles.

The shopkeeper held a few hundred taels of silver bills in his hand, and his eyes widened.

"Little lady, are you sure you want to buy these?"

Shen Qingci nodded, she was not used to talking, so she just bought these, and the rest of the banknotes were her travel expenses, and she couldn't spend them.

After shopping, she went to the inn, and after paying some money, she pulled the carriage over.

It's just that the carriage is too small, and there are only people in the carriage and nothing can be placed in it, and it is impossible for Shen Qingci to dismantle the shed of the carriage, so now she is worried about how to take these back.

"Little lady, this is a lot, or I'll send someone to send it back to you, no money will be charged."

deliver? Shen Qingci frowned, she didn't want people to know where the food was going to be sent, if there was a famine in the future, it would not be a good thing for the shopkeeper to think about it.

People say that money touches people's hearts, but don't forget that sometimes no amount of money can buy food, it can buy the next life.

Shen Qingci's purpose was to save Uncle Wu's family, but not to cause trouble for Uncle Wu's family, or even to kill their family. But when she thought about it again, she didn't think about buying so much when she came. Because these rice noodles are really cheap, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to see my fifth uncle and my fifth aunt again in the future.

And she thought about it, is there any place to put grain here? It is inconspicuous to let her go there every day to carry the grain. I'm afraid, what if he is caught by King Fenglun?

She couldn't take such a risk, and she couldn't afford to take such a risk either.

It's just that she doesn't know where to put these things?

The shopkeeper might also have seen Shen Qingci's embarrassment.

"Or, is that so?"

The shopkeeper suggested, "I know an unoccupied house, we put all the food there, how about you go there and get it?"

Shen Qingci didn't understand, why did he say that?

"Heh..." the shopkeeper laughed.

"Young lady may not know. When some people buy grain, they don't want others to know about it, so sometimes they put it in our house with excuses, and then take it away on their own."

"Don't worry, little lady." The shopkeeper stopped smiling now, and his tone could no longer be serious, "Everyone has something hidden in his heart, we are not those troublesome people, you can rest assured, after the food is put away , we will no longer be in the past, and how to use the food at that time will be determined by you."

Shen Qingci thought for a while, and finally nodded lightly. In fact, she was still afraid of being cheated, but she also had an inexplicable feeling that this shopkeeper was not cheating. Such a big shop has been open for a long time, and its reputation is very high. More importantly, this shopkeeper is also very generous, and his family background should be not bad. It is impossible to cheat her with such a few hundred taels of silver. She is also a businessman, and she will never do such a thing like killing a chicken to get its eggs.

So she believed in the shopkeeper, and asked the shopkeeper to help find that place to put the food away. She wanted to leave, but in the end, she bumped into a jar on the ground.

She pointed to the altar again, and asked the shopkeeper silently what is this?

"This one?"

The shopkeeper came over, "These are some pickled vegetables. When there is nothing to eat in winter, you can take them out and eat them."
