Chapter 8: Preparing Supplies

Mr. Shen lowered his eyes: "Maybe God wants to give our Shen family a way out."

Old Mrs. Shen also bowed toward the outside with her hands facing her palms: "Our girl is indeed a blessing. When the old man gave birth to her, there were magpies on the eaves to report good news."

"What do you think you should do next, just do it, we all believe in you." Chen Rong said to Chen Yuyan.

No one else had any objection. Chen Rong in the Shen family said that he was the most important one except Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen.

Chen Yu'an felt that the biggest advantage of the Shen family was that people were united.

After gaining the trust of the Shen family, Chen Yu'an began to arrange tasks for them according to the plan in his heart.

She decided to start preparing early or late, but she decided to start preparing early tomorrow morning.

Chen Rong, Dalang and Erlang still went to the town to attend the school normally, while Shen Ming and Shen Yun were arranged by Chen Yu'an to go to several more places to inquire about the price of grain and buy grain. The remaining people first dig a cellar at home, so there would be a place to put the grain after they bought it.

Chen Yu'an planned to go to the town to buy some fabrics or ready-made clothes and prepare some clothes in advance.

In addition, Chen Yu'an also planned to teach them some self-defense ability. She also thought of an excuse, saying that the old man in the dream taught her self-defense.

The next morning, the Shen family was busy working according to the tasks they assigned.

Because Chen Yu'an got up late, he couldn't catch up with Shen Ming and Chen Yun to go to the town together.

It was already noon when the two came back again.

"Brown rice costs fifteen cents per pound? Isn't it usually twelve cents per pound?" Zhao asked in surprise.

"Not only these, even the prices of yellow rice, millet and flour have increased. Although a pound has only increased a few cents, if we store grain, we will have to spend a lot more. We can't make up our minds and come back and ask." Shen Ming replied with a frown.

Chen Yu'an, who had just returned from the mountain, happened to hear what Shen Ming said.

When the people in the yard saw Chen Yu'an coming back, they subconsciously looked at her.

Chen Yu'an thought of what Shen Ming said, and said after pondering: "This should be just the beginning. The sudden price increase of the grain store shows what news the people behind him have received, so we must speed up the storing of grain, and maybe the price will continue to rise."

When Shen Ming and the others heard this, they thought it made sense, otherwise they would lose even more when the price increased and they bought it.

Shen Ming and Shen Yun immediately planned to go to the town to set the food, fearing that the price of food would increase again when they went to the town soon.

Chen Yu'an also decided to go to the town with him, but the three of them still had lunch at home.

...

In Xing'an Town, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky. Because the weather is hot, fewer people walk on the street.

"Eucao girl, let's go to the grain store on West Street to buy it first. I've seen it today. His grain looks fresher." Chen Yun said.

Chen Yu'an gave him a thumbs up when he heard his words. He originally asked them to inquire about a few more grain stores just to find more cost-effective grain to buy.

Unexpectedly, the two of them not only inquired about the price, but also found out the quality. Chen Yu'an was amazed in his heart.

But he shook his head and said, "Let's go to Horse Market to buy a ox cart first."

Because Chen Yu'an had a small treasure chest that could be taken and placed, except for some copper plates, all the money was on her now.

Old Mrs. Shen said that she would not be afraid of losing it like this, otherwise she would feel uneasy if she had so much money to hide.

Chen Yu'an did not refuse, but planned to keep the accounts every day, otherwise even if he was close to him, he would not be able to stop the suspicion in his heart.

At noon, there were very few people in the Ma Market, and the guys inside leaned on the doorbar and took a nap.

"Hey, man, hey." Chen Yun came forward and called someone, but when he saw that there was no movement, he pushed him two times.

The guy was suddenly awakened and before he opened his eyes, he hurriedly apologized: "I am not lazy, I am not lazy."

"We're coming back to our senses, we want to buy livestock." Chen Yu'an stood behind Shen Yun and reminded.

A cold voice came into the friend's ears, and he finally came to his senses. It turned out that he was not the shopkeeper, which scared him.

The guy smiled awkwardly and asked, "Several guests, are you buying cows or mules?"

There are horses, cows and mules sold in the horse market, but most of the people who come to buy horse carriages are rich families in the town. The clothes they wear in front of them are patched, so they are obviously not in the ranks of those who can buy horses, so the guy asked them this way.

Chen Yu'an didn't think about buying a horse. The price of a horse is much more expensive than that of a cow, and it's too conspicuous, so it's better to be low-key.

Chen Yun turned his head and looked at Chen Yu'an for her opinion.

"Let's buy cows, guys will take us to see."

"Okay, please follow me." The guy took Chen Yu'an and the other two to the backyard, where there were many livestock eating grass.

I am not familiar with this choice of Chen Yu'an. I have to let Shen Ming and Shen Yun go to this.

Shen Ming touched this one and looked at the other, and soon he chose a cow that looked particularly energetic.

Chen Yu'an also asked him to pick up the ox cart and asked the guy to help him get it. Finally, he gave him seventeen taels of silver during the bargaining between Shen Yun and the guy.

Shen Ming can drive ox carts. After Shen Yu'an and Shen Yun sat firmly on the edge of the ox cart, they asked Shen Ming to drive the ox cart to the grain store.

The grain shop that Chen Yun mentioned was not far from here, and it was just a cup of tea.

Shen Ming was watching the ox cart outside, while Chen Yu'an and Shen Yun went in to buy food.

Chen Yun had already found out the price, and the two of them went in and started buying and buying.

Brown rice, millet, rice and flour each cost 200 kilograms. Chen Yu'er saw that a bag of sacks here could hold almost 100 kilograms of grain, and they wanted eight bags.

The shop assistant helped carry the food to the ox cart outside.

After buying the grain, Chen Yu'an and the others went to the ready-to-wear shop again.

There are ready-made clothes and cloth in the shop, which are relatively expensive. Shen Ming and Shen Yun originally planned to buy fabrics and wait until they go back to make clothes. Chen Yu'an thought that not only wasted time on making clothes, but also hurt her eyes, so she directly bought two ready-made clothes for each person.

In addition, I bought five pieces of cloth and some soft fabrics. I planned to make small clothes for Xiao Zhang after I went back.

Chen Yun was moved when he saw that Chen Yu'an actually thought of his unborn child.

Chen Yun said whisperingly: "Girl Eucalyptus, Uncle San will definitely treat you as his own daughter in the future!"

Chen Yu'an pushed away one of his handsome faces, looked at Chen Yun with a gloomy smile and said, "Uncle San means that I used to be falsified."

"How is it possible? Uncle San's love for you is a testament to the sun and the moon. You can't misunderstand me, otherwise your breasts will be peeled off a layer of skin when you go back." Chen Yun quickly explained.

The two of them were talking and laughing and holding their clothes on the ox cart. The food was placed behind the ox cart, and the clothes and cloth were placed in front. Chen Yu'an and Shen Yunshu sat comfortably on it.

After some shopping, it was getting dark. Dalang and Erlang in the town had already passed the school time, and the shops in the town were closed.
