After walking for about fifteen minutes, they arrived at the west of the city. As soon as they entered the west of the city, Lu Qianqian clearly felt the hustle and bustle.

The flow of people here is much greater than that in the south and east of the city. Well, the west of the city is basically full of shops, and everyone who wants to buy something has to come here. It would be strange if there are not many people.

"Second brother, let's go to the rice shop first." Lu Qianqian felt a sore throat when she thought about the brown rice porridge she had eaten these days. She also felt embarrassed that she had to eat the stewed eggs by herself while the other little kids didn't get any.

It's better not to eat alone. Since we are a family, we should enjoy the happiness together. However, Lu Qianqian is not so saintly. She will only classify those who are truly good to her as her family. If there are any ulterior motives, there is no need to do so.

Lu Zhengjun is a quiet country man who does whatever his little sister says.

Soon the cart arrived at the door of a rice shop.

"Little sister, go in and take a look yourself. I'll be watching the oxcart outside the door."

The ox cart was borrowed from the village chief's family. If anything went wrong, the Lu family would have a hard time explaining to the village chief's family, so Lu Zhengjun took the initiative to stay and look after the ox cart.

Lu Qianqian nodded, but did not force Lu Zhengjun to follow her.

As soon as we entered the door, a waiter came up to us and asked, "What does this guest need?"

Lu Qianqian was also thankful. In the Lu family, she was considered the best-dressed person. Although her clothes were not the newest, they were not patched, so people would not look down on her. It was not that she felt ashamed, but clothes make the man, and some things still had to be pretended.

"I want to buy some rice. What kind of rice do you have?"

Lu Qianqian looked around. There were many rice buckets filled with rice in the rice shop, but she really couldn't recognize all the types!

"Brown rice is one cent per pound, corn rice is three cents per pound, old rice is two cents per three pounds, and new rice is eight cents per pound." The waiter patiently introduced to Lu Qianqian.

Lu Qianqian thought about it and decided to buy new rice. She would have at least twenty taels of silver every month in the future, so why bother herself?

"Give me two hundred kilograms of new rice first!"

After calculating the number of people in the family, Lu Qianqian bought 200 kilograms of new rice. She calculated that this amount of rice would be enough for the family to eat for about a month. Anyway, she could buy more if it was not enough.

When the waiter heard that the customer wanted to buy 200 kilograms of new rice, his eyes lit up. He originally thought that the customer would buy some old rice or something, but he didn't expect him to buy new rice directly, and asked for 200 kilograms.

"Okay, sir, I'll have someone move it to you right away. I don't know if we'll deliver it to your door or not?"

When Lu Qianqian heard that there was door-to-door service, she was excited.

"This time, just move it to the ox cart outside. I just don't know if you will deliver it to Xinghua Village if you deliver the goods to the door." Lu Qianqian asked.

Xinghua Village?

Just where?

The waiter was a little stunned for a moment. Could it be that the place the female customer was talking about was out of town?

Lu Qianqian guessed from the waiter's expression that he didn't know the small village called Xinghua Village.

"Okay, let's talk about it later." Lu Qianqian said helplessly.

"I'm so sorry, sir. If you really need delivery in the future, I can talk to the shopkeeper and see if I can deliver it to your door." The clerk said politely, "This time, 200 kilograms of new rice costs a total of 1,600 wen."

Lu Qianqian paid the money readily.

Lu Zhengjun was sitting on the ox cart waiting for Lu Qianqian to come out. After waiting for a while, he saw the rice shop clerk carrying two large bags of rice out and put them directly on the ox cart.

"What is this?" Lu Zhengjun was confused. Could this have been bought by his younger sister?

"Brother, it was me who bought the rice." Lu Qianqian walked out and said.

When Lu Zhengjun heard his younger sister say this, he nodded. His younger sister would definitely come to the rice shop to buy rice. What he didn't know was that Lu Qianqian bought new rice. If he knew that Lu Qianqian bought new rice, he would definitely not be as calm as he is now.

"Little sister, are we going home now?" Lu Zhengjun asked.

"We also need to buy some seasonings and meat. Everyone has not had any good food recently due to the busy farming season. We need to buy some meat to replenish our energy."

After Lu Qianqian finished speaking, Lu Zhengjun looked up at his younger sister in surprise.

I didn't expect my younger sister would say that. If I had so much money in the past, I would have bought myself clothes and headwear long ago and would never have thought about my family.

Lu Zhengjun thought so in his heart but did not say it out loud. Since his younger sister wanted to go, then let her go.

Two hundred kilograms of new rice can be made into two large bags, which can be put on the ox cart.

Lu Zhengjun asked Lu Qianqian to get in the cart and drove the ox cart to the butcher shop and grocery store.

On the way to the butcher shop, Lu Qianqian saw a very special shop, which was very similar to the old Indian style.

"Second brother, where is that?" Lu Qianqian asked, pointing at the strange shop.

Lu Zhengjun looked in the direction Lu Qianqian pointed, "Oh, that's a store opened by someone from Yue Country."

"Moon Country?" Lu Qianqian became even more curious. The original owner's memory mentioned the country of Moon Country, but there was no other information.

"Brother, listen there for a while. I want to go and take a look."

"Okay." Lu Zhengjun responded directly and drove the ox cart over.

When they arrived at the door of the store and saw Lu Zhengjun's ox cart approaching, many women who were entering and leaving the store frowned slightly, and some even had disgust written all over their faces.

"Who is this person? He actually wants to go to Yue Tower." At this time, a female voice with her throat pinched sounded.

Lu Qianqian got off the ox cart and turned her head slightly to look over.

The female voice belonged to a girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a light blue gauze dress and some pearl ornaments on her head. However, even with such luxurious clothes, it could not hide the sarcasm on her face.

However, the woman next to her had a very good temperament.

She was wearing a plain white dress and a lavender hairpin on her head, and she looked very elegant and calm at first glance.

This made Lu Qianqian think of Leng Meiren. The flowers of Leng Meiren were very suitable for this girl.

Lu Qianqian just took a glance and then looked away. She was in no mood to pay any attention to the sarcastic woman. She was just a stranger after all.

"Second brother, go over there and wait for me for a while, I'll be out soon."

Lu Qianqian still wanted to see what kind of place this Yue Tower was where so many female relatives came in and out.

Lu Zhengjun's face turned red because he felt ashamed after hearing what those people said.

"Okay, little sister, you go!" After Lu Zhengjun said that, he drove the ox cart to a special parking place for carriages and horses, which was provided by Yuelou for guests.
