The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

In the afternoon, Jiang Qingyi didn't want to take a nap, and the three Jiang Dahai brothers were also very excited because they were about to do something.

When they heard that Jiang Qingyi was planning to go to the East District, the three of them said in unison, "I'm going too!"

Jiang Qingyi looked at the expectant eyes of several people and couldn't say no. She originally planned to take Jiang Dahai alone, but it seemed that there would be no problem with taking two more people, so that they could go out and see more.

Through the unremitting efforts of Grandma Jiang and several daughters-in-law, the clothes of the Jiang family were all changed to cotton clothes. Although the quality improved, it was still not warm enough because there was not enough cotton.

Thinking about the rewards she received today, Jiang Qingyi decided to go out and spend some money. The most important thing was to buy enough cotton, otherwise when the coldest time came, the Jiang family might only be able to stay in bed every day.

Jiang Qingyi felt that this was not feasible as it would delay things too much.

The three brothers Jiang Dahai all carried backpacks, but Jiang Qingyi only carried a small cloth bag, which she had specially asked Zhao to sew for her. It was just right for putting some small things in it.

It takes about an hour to get from home to the East District, and it doesn’t feel that cold when you’re moving around.

When they arrived at the East District, Jiang Dahai and his brothers could not help but look around and experience the prosperity of the capital city firsthand.

Jiang Qingyi felt that if she went to buy small items with a pile of silver, she might be kicked out by the store owner. In order to get change, the first place she went to was a pastry shop.

There were other customers in the shop at this time. Jiang Qingyi stood in front of the counter and took a look. The cakes sold in this shop were very limited. There were only five kinds: mung bean cake, red bean cake, peach cake, peanut cake, and almond cake.

Moreover, the price of each type is not cheap. The first two types are 500 wen per catty, and the last three types are 800 wen per catty.

Jiang Qingyi had no interest in these pastries, but she could buy some for her family to try.

After the guests left, Jiang Qingyi said to the waiter next to her, "Please give me one pound of each kind of cake."

Seeing that there was no adult around Jiang Qingyi, the waiter asked in a good-tempered manner, "Little girl, how about asking your parents to come and take a look?"

Jiang Qingyi knew that the waiter didn't want to cause trouble, so she shouted outside, "Dad, come here."

Jiang Dahai heard the voice and walked in directly, "Girl, what's wrong?"

"It's okay, just stand here." She said to the waiter, "Now it's ok, give me one pound of each cake."

The waiter looked at Jiang Dahai hesitantly, and after getting Jiang Dahai's consent, he began to weigh the pastries, wrapping each one in oil paper.

"Sir, take it. It's three ounces and four cents of silver."

Jiang Qingyi directly took out a pile of silver ingots and handed them over.

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then put away the silver ingots and started to give change.

Jiang Qingyi stuffed all the change she got back into her small bag, and the pastries she bought were also put into Jiang Dahai's backpack.

After coming out of the snack shop, Jiang Dahai couldn't help but say a few words, "Yiyi, you spent more than three taels of silver, which is enough for our family to buy food for a long time."

Jiang Qingyi looked at Jiang Dahai and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I know what's going on."

When Jiang Dahai saw Jiang Qingyi's expression, he knew that what she said was true, so he said no more.

After coming out of the dim sum shop, Jiang Qingyi strolled on the street with a few adults. Her attention was on the shops on both sides. She knew what was sold in those shops at a glance.

Although there are many things here, there is no such thing as braised food. Even if people buy food, they are all simply processed items.

A few people staggered to the herbal medicine shop, and Jiang Qingyi told the medicine boy who was dispensing the medicine what herbs (spices) she needed. In order not to disclose the recipe, Jiang Qingyi also bought some extra things that she would not use.

She bought more than twenty kinds of medicinal herbs, each in a large bag. The quantity was large but not heavy. However, the herbs themselves were very expensive, so she spent almost ten taels of silver.

Jiang Dahai's mouth twitched as he watched Jiang Qingyi spend money without blinking an eye, but seeing that his third brother looked calm, he didn't say anything.

After coming out of the drugstore, Jiang Qingyi strolled to the cloth shop. She could find the cotton she wanted to buy here. In addition, she also needed some less expensive cloth.

After coming out of the cloth shop, Jiang Dahai and his companions' backpacks were already full, and they each held a few pieces of cloth in their hands.

At this point, Jiang Qingyi had bought almost everything she needed, and they headed back home.

Jiang Qingyi also wanted to go around and take a look at the shops run by these people here, so she took a detour and went back through another street.

Perhaps the people here have not yet discovered the magical effects of spices, so Jiang Qingyi did not smell any particularly attractive scents on her way back.

This also made her more determined to cook, after all, no one can resist the temptation of delicious food.

When they were about to leave the East District, Jiang Qingyi saw someone selling candied haws. She bought a string for each of her children, but didn't buy any for herself because they didn't like sour things.

Jiang Dahe's eyes twitched when he saw the bunch of candied haws in Jiang Qingyi's hand. "Xiaowu, why did you buy so many candied haws? Are you planning to start this business?"

Jiang Qingyi couldn't help but quietly rolled her eyes, then said, "I bought it for my sister and the others."

Jiang Dahe laughed awkwardly twice, touched his head and stopped talking.

In fact, it’s not that there are no shops in the Southeast District. You can buy daily food, side dishes, pork, etc., but if you want to buy cloth, cotton, gold and silver jewelry, you can only go to the East District.

On the way back, Jiang Qingyi and her companions were targeted by a group of thugs. A group of people followed them to a place where there were not many people and then surrounded them.

Jiang Qingyi had known for a long time that someone was following her. She was still wondering when this group of people would take action, but it turned out that they were waiting until this moment.

Jiang Dashan looked at the eight or nine gangsters surrounding him with a vigilant look, and said seriously, "What do you want to do? This is the capital city!"

The leader of the gangsters said mockingly, "So what if it's the capital? You don't think our emperor would care about these things! Hahahaha..."

After he finished speaking, the hooligans who followed him also started laughing and moved closer to Jiang Qingyi and the others.

Jiang Dahe and Jiang Dahai were not too worried. They clearly remembered that Jiang Qingyi broke the legs of many criminals with a stick when she was fleeing from famine. Compared with those criminals, these gangsters in front of them seemed to have no killing power at all.

Jiang Qingyi was too lazy to talk nonsense with these thugs. She started to act without saying anything. The first person to be beaten up was the thug leader who spoke.

"Ouch... ah... don't... don't hit me..."

When the other hooligans saw their boss getting beaten, they all rushed over.

They thought that with so many people dealing with a little girl there would be no suspense at all, but they didn't expect that a beating was waiting for them.

Within ten minutes, eight or nine thugs were all lying on the ground, screaming in pain.
