Fortunately, there are not many fish at this time, and there is not much to eat. Otherwise, when everyone is not full, fish food will also be a serious problem.

In a blink of an eye, it was the market day that Mr. He mentioned. This day happened to be the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month. In a few days, it would be the Little New Year, and the family had not yet purchased much for the New Year.

After getting up early, Yunmei Niang went into the space and took a look. The corns and potatoes planted in the ground had grown a small amount yesterday. This morning, they were already as high as a finger. The seedlings were growing thick and strong.

It looks like it has enough nutrition.

Even though Yunmei Niang didn't know much about crops originally, after receiving the memory of the original owner, she knew that this was abnormal. It seems that the crops in the space can not only shorten the growth period, but also have extraordinary quality.

After looking at the cornstarch and potatoes, she looked at the little fish again. Although she didn't grow up obviously, she was a lot thicker, and she only used a corner of the cornstarch flour pancake that she used to feed the fish.

Raising fish in space is really economical and affordable.

Not long after she came out of the space, Mrs. He knocked on the door. When it was time to set off, Lady Yunmei hurriedly put on a coat and came out of the house.

He and Yunmei Niang each carried a bag of corn grains, totaling about one stone, and planned to sell it in the town for a few pennies.

I heard that the food in the town has been very expensive recently, and corn grains are three times more expensive than in previous years. Even so, most farmers are still unwilling to sell them.

This year has been a drought. Not only has there not been much rain throughout the year, but not a single snowflake has fallen since winter began. Who can guarantee that there will be no drought next year?

No matter how much money you have, you can't manage enough. It's safer to keep food at home.

If Mr. He hadn't wanted to buy a piece of cloth for Mei Niang to make clothes, he wouldn't have been willing to sell the corn.

Fortunately, there is a lot of food left over from previous years. There is also a surplus of potatoes and sweet potatoes planted this year. Even if there is no harvest in another two years, the whole family will not be hungry.

Since the family's cows were taken away by my second uncle's family, it has been a lot of trouble for me to go out. Fortunately, there are still several cows in the same village.

Meiniang's family is usually very popular in the village, and it doesn't matter whose cart they ride on.

On this day, Uncle Cheng's family happened to be going to town to buy new year's goods, so He took Mei Niang to the town in a bullock cart.

The people riding in the car were all Uncle Cheng's family members, including Aunt Cheng, Uncle Cheng's eldest daughter-in-law Yu Yue'e, his daughter Cuiqiao, and his niece Lan Qian. On the way, he also picked up Sister-in-law Li San from the entrance of the village.

Except for Third Aunt Cheng and Mr. He, the others were all about the same age as Mei Niang, and they were chatting and laughing along the way.

It's just that everyone tacitly avoided talking about Mei Niang and the scholar, and treated Mei Niang with caution, which made Mei Niang feel powerless.

Occasionally, if someone accidentally said it, everyone would either remain silent or quickly change the topic.

Yunmei Niang could feel their good intentions, and she wanted to say that it really didn't matter to her, but she knew that no one would believe her even if she told them, so she just tried to speak as little as possible.

Soon, the town arrived, and the oxcart was parked in the backyard of a rice and grain store called Helongji.

In Mei Niang's memory, her uncle was He Longji's counting house. People from the village would come here to go to the market. The owner was also a kind person.

The oxcart was stored, and they agreed to meet here in the future, and everyone went to buy their own things.

Mrs. He took Meiniang to find Uncle Yun and sold the corn grains at the shop in front of Helongji.

Different from previous years when new grain is more expensive than old grain, this year's old grain is more expensive than fresh grain because it has less moisture and is easier to produce.

The two bags of rice that the couple brought happened to be last year's old grain, and two bags cost exactly one stone. In previous years, one stone of corn grains could be sold for up to 150 Wen, but this year they sold for 500 Wen.
