Chapter 293 Don’t panic when you have food in hand
"I want two stones of brown rice and one stone of multigrain noodles."
Brown rice cost seven cents per liter and multigrain noodles six cents per liter. They cost two thousand dollars to buy. Baiyun Xi felt heartache, but in order to store food for the winter, she risked her life.
At this time, one stone cost one hundred and twenty-five kilograms, and more than three hundred and seventy kilograms of grain, plus what was stored at home, should be enough to survive the coldest winter.
Bai Anyan was surprised when he heard that my mother bought so much food with just one mouthful. He knew that today he mainly bought food, but he didn't expect that my mother would buy so much at once?
However, before he could ask, his arm was patted by Mr. Li.
Mrs. Li pulled him aside and glared at him.
"What do you want to do? We are here to help. Whatever mom wants to do, just listen and don't interrupt."
Bai Anyan's lips twitched, "Don't you think Mom bought too much food?"
"What's so much? I can buy more at once and save money by running back and forth. Besides, every decision my mother makes is the right one."
Mrs. Li glared at him and said, "Stop chirping."
After listening to his wife's words, Bai Anyan was stunned for a moment, watching the shopkeeper's excited face greeting the waiter to weigh the food, but he still felt very confused in his heart.
Even though it is not advisable to go out in winter, there is still a lot of food in Sanshi, and there are other foods stored at home.
Seeing Mrs. Li's matter-of-fact expression, Bai Anyan twitched the corner of his mouth. While they were talking, the food had been weighed.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at Bai Yunxi with a smile on his face,
"Sister-in-law Bai, please take a look. The scale is definitely high. Seeing how much you bought, I will give you two liters of black flour. Don't worry, these are also new grains this autumn, and they taste good."
Bai Yunxi glanced at the polished rice next to her and suppressed her inner impulse several times. Considering the current situation of her family, eating polished rice was too wasteful.
After handing over the money, Bai Yunxi looked at the two liters of black noodles handed to Li by the waiter and expressed his gratitude softly.
Shopkeeper Wang asked the waiter to put the brown rice into sacks. When Bai Anyan saw it, he quickly ran to help and the two of them carried it to the cart together.
Baiyunxi took the opportunity to inquire with the shopkeeper about the price of pine nuts.
Shopkeeper Wang listened to her inquiry and pointed to the dried fruit shop opposite.
"Sister-in-law Bai really asked the right person. Pine nuts are valuable and expensive, and most people are reluctant to eat them. The fried pine nuts in their store cost 100 cents per catty. How much brown rice does it cost to buy 100 cents, but I can't bear to eat them anyway.
"
Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said,
"Many of the melon seeds, nuts and other stuff in the dried fruit shop are harvested in the countryside. I'm not too sure about the rest of the prices. But for pine nuts, I happened across them once. The price was fifty cents per catty."
"The Chinese New Year is just two months away, so the price of pine nuts should be higher. I have to ask my sister-in-law for the details."
Following Shopkeeper Wang's guidance, Bai Yunxi took a look at the dried fruit shop opposite, and saw that it was quite busy with people going in and out.
"Thank you very much. I'll ask them later if they still want to take it."
If the price is not ideal, she will have to go to the county seat.
The more than 200 kilograms of pine nuts at home cost more than ten guan even if it is conservatively estimated.
After buying grain, Baiyunxi went to buy two kilograms of salt, and then asked the second son and his wife to push the cart back.
When passing by the pork shop, Bai Yunxi looked at the freshly picked bones on the counter, and bought a few more kilograms of pork bones to make soup.
All the way home, Baiyunxi walked in the front door, and someone came to the door behind.
