When He Yunxi came out of the drug store, he was both happy and aching.
I was happy that I got several kinds of spices, including star anise and peppercorns. But I was sad that the prices were really expensive. If she hadn't had some money today, she would have been reluctant to buy these.
Then she went to the grain store and asked about the price of grain. She instantly understood why Lu Yan and the others had been eating black noodles.
Black flour is not actually black flour, but flour mixed with some coarse grains. It tastes very bad and cannot be soaked. The resulting dough is as hard as a stone.
Rich people would not eat such unpalatable flour. But it is cheap, costing only five cents per pound, or five copper coins, and is the staple food of many poor people.
As for flour, the lowest quality ones cost ten cents per catty, and the better quality ones can cost twenty cents per catty. There is less rice here, and the price is a few cents more expensive.
There are many Lu family members, and one meal requires two or three kilograms, so I can only buy cheap black noodles.
He Yunxi didn't want to eat black noodles anymore, so he bought thirty kilograms of medium-sized flour and thirty kilograms of rice, spending a total of one tael of silver. In addition to the one or two taels of silver he just spent on spices, he went there in a blink of an eye.
Two, two, two.
"Hey, no matter what era you are in, money is never spent!" He Yunxi sighed.
She thought she couldn't carry the sixty kilogram thing, so she wanted to move to the door and wait for Lu Yan to come over, but as soon as she picked it up, she actually picked it up.
Um?
Is she still a strong woman?
She was startled by herself, then searched in her memory and found that the original person did not have such strength.
Is this the so-called time-travel plug-in?
If that's the case, that's great!
If Lu Yan is not willing to do anything to herself and Li Shu in the future, will she perform a chest-breaking act for him?
Hahaha, it makes me happy just thinking about it.
She carried two bags of grain and went to a grocery store not far away to buy some seasonings. She asked about soy sauce and found that the price was 100 cents per catty. The price shocked her. Later she found out that the soy sauce was not Hyundai's.
The soy sauce we eat is made from meat, and the process is very complicated. No wonder it is so expensive.
Thinking of the current environment, she gritted her teeth and bought a pound, and then bought salt. The oil was made from unknown raw materials, it didn't smell as good as rapeseed oil and peanut oil, and it was expensive, so she didn't buy it.
Sugar is also expensive, the price is 20 to 30, and the good-looking ones with less impurities cost almost 40. She bought two kilograms of ordinary ones.
After buying it, more than 300 yuan was gone.
Seasonings are so expensive. No wonder people in this era usually cook their dishes in plain water. No seasonings are added. The water is boiled and boiled. Add some salt to the pot. Some dishes with poor conditions don't even add salt.
If you think about it, you can understand that today's productivity is low, technology is backward, and there are few things that can be produced, so the price is naturally high. In modern times, with the explosion of information, you can find a lot of what you want online.
She was not the kind of person who studied hard, otherwise she would not have followed the old man around when she was young. Back then, in her spare time, she would also do some things. Things that are easy in modern times are secrets in this era.
.
She thought that even without medical skills, she could survive in this era with modern knowledge.
After a while, she met Lu Yan. The prey in his basket had been sold. She politely put the things she bought into his basket.
Lu Yan looked at the things she bought and wanted to say something, but finally shut up.
"These are a bit heavy, can you carry them? How about letting me do it?" He Yunxi asked.
Lu Yan glanced at her and put the basket on his back.
He Yunxi didn't frown when he saw him carrying more than sixty kilograms of things, and suddenly felt that he was not very impressive if he could carry sixty kilograms of things.
"Have you finished shopping?" Lu Yan asked.
"No. There is something else I haven't bought."
A quarter of an hour later, the two stood in front of the meat stall.
"Boss, I want these side oils and two pounds of pork belly." He Yunxi shouted to the boss.
"Okay, I'll cut it for you right away." The butcher stall owner cut two kilograms of meat neatly and weighed the side oil. "The side oil is five kilograms and one liang, and twenty coppers per kilogram, a total of one hundred and two.
Copper plates. Two pounds of pork belly, weighed by Wangwang for you, one pound is twenty-five copper plates, two pounds is fifty. A total of one hundred and fifty-two copper plates."
He Yunxi reached out to touch his money bag and handed over a half-hang of copper coins with one hand.
"Okay, take it." The butcher stall owner handed the meat over, then took the coins and counted them.
He Yunxi didn't expect Lu Yan to move so quickly and said, "I'll give you the money."
"No need." Lu Yan responded calmly and put the meat and fat into the backpack.
"I want to buy this meat, and I should use my money." He Yunxi said.
The reason why she bought so arrogantly was because she wanted to use her own money. If she had known that he wanted to pay, she would not have bought so much.
"No need." Lu Yan refused, "As long as you can cure my mother. And it's time to give the little ones something good to eat."
The little ones in his family have been living in a pitiable state with him for the past two years. Why can't he see that they are malnourished?
But my mother needed to see a doctor. Even if he didn't go to school and spent most of his time hunting in the mountains, the money he earned was just enough to keep them from starving to death.
Yesterday he was lucky and caught a forest musk deer. He originally wanted to sell the money to buy a silver needle, but he didn't expect that the silver needle didn't cost any money, which gave him a little money.
Thinking of the five little ones who were all malnourished and skinny, He Yunxi said to the butcher stall owner: "Boss, give me two more pounds of meat."
Lu Yan paused and said, "It's hot now. If you buy too much, you won't be able to finish it. It will go bad tomorrow."
"No, there are many of us, so we can finish it in one bite." He Yunxi said, "Today we will eat sandwich meat, and tomorrow we will eat fat meat."
"You can't put fat meat either."
"I have an idea. Boss, two pounds of meat."
"Okay." The butcher stall owner was very happy. Usually everyone who comes to buy meat buys two, two, three and a half pounds. Except for wealthy families, this is the first time he has met customers who buy so much.
He Yunxi saw a small bucket placed next to the stall, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Boss, how do you sell this?"
"Those are pig offal. They all have a stinky smell. I take them home and boil them in water to feed the dogs." The butcher stall owner said, "You bought so much meat. If you want this, give me five coppers.
Take it away."
When He Yunxi heard the boss's words, he twitched the corner of his mouth and thought to himself, this person is really sincere. He is not afraid to say that he will not buy it if he feeds it to the dog?
"Boss, can I give you two more copper coins, including the barrel?"
"Okay." The butcher stall owner readily agreed and gave them the old barrel directly.
He Yunxi happily carried the barrel and refused to put it down.
Lu Yan saw her so happy and couldn't understand her happiness.
