After fleeing the wasteland and farming, he made a rebellion

Chapter 26 Purchase all the supplies, but the escape must continue immediately

The so-called old cloth is actually some old clothes, but it is more dilapidated, and even sewing and mending can't make a piece of clothing, so it can only be sold as rags.

Sun Fuxi wanted to buy it, but Sun Wangui didn't object, and bought a lot for five cents.Sun Fuxi asked Sun Wangui to buy needles and thread for five Wen. As far as the pile they bought back, there was not enough thread for Zhang Yunniang to mend.

Seeing the hemp rope, Sun Fuxi felt that this must be useful.Not to mention anything else, even a shed made of straw mats is indispensable, so Sun Wangui was asked to buy five cents.

Calculated in this way, it took a total of [-] renminbi to get the family and Ji Xingze's autumn clothes, which is quite a bargain.

The next step is the main event - buying food.

This time they went to three grain stores in total, and the price of grain in each store was the same, eight or nine out of ten were the result of a negotiation between several stores.Needless to say, that is a high price, which is two or three times more expensive than in previous years.

The cheapest millet noodles cost eight cents a liter. Wheat flour, or white flour, and brown rice cost twelve cents a liter, and polished rice cost twenty cents a liter.In this regard, people's attitude is whether to buy or not, and the price may increase in two days.

Sun Wangui touched Caifeng's purse, and suddenly felt that it was stretched.

Sun Fu likes Xin'er to inquire about Xiao Er, and here one liter is equivalent to one and a half catties.She had checked on the Internet in modern times before, and one catty in ancient times was equivalent to 16 taels in modern times, which means that one liter was equivalent to two catties and four taels in modern times.

Sun Wangui became cruel, and finally bought 160 liters of millet noodles for 120 renminbi, and [-] liters for [-] liters of white flour. Brown rice was the most bought, and a total of [-] liters cost [-] renminbi.As for the polished rice... forget it, if Sun Fuxi hadn't glanced at the white flour several times, he wouldn't have bought it at all.

This time, the purchase of food alone cost 880 renminbi in total, and his money bag was suddenly emptied, and Sun Wangui felt pain in his heart and heart.

"Father," Sun Fuxi tugged at Sun Wangui's sleeve to remind him when he saw Sun Wangui's reluctance, "We still have a lot of herbs and wild vegetables to sell tomorrow."

"You're right." Only then did Sun Wangui feel confident, "Tomorrow we can still have money in the account."

Ji Xingze then bought the same amount of grain as ordered, and bought two more cans of sesame oil.A can of oil costs two catties, twenty Wen a can, and it cost him forty Wen.

After going out, I found a place where no one was around and gave them all to Sun Fuxi, saying that they were bought with Sun Wangui and put together, it was his food money.

"Cousin, this is too much." Although she was the one who came up with the idea, Sun Fuxi still felt a little blush, "Why don't you store the extra part with me?" Sun Wangui also meant the same.

"Cousin, cousin," Ji Xingze said, "Since I eat and live with you, it doesn't matter what is yours and mine. I will keep the rest of the money myself." He will form an independent household in the future , can't have no money at all.

"Father, do you see?" Sun Fuxi looked up at Sun Wangui.

Sun Wangui smiled, "Since your cousin said so, let's keep it, and the family should not be too estranged."

"Okay, I'll keep it." Sun Fuxi then asked Sun Wangui, "Father, where is the salt? Where do we buy salt?" People will have no strength if they don't eat salt. Now she seriously suspects that they were all weak before, not only It is the cause of insufficiency and weakness, and it is likely to be related to insufficient salt supplementation.Because every meal, Zhang Yunniang only puts a little salt, which is very bland.

"Salt?" Ji Xingze answered for Sun Wangui, "Salt should be bought at the salt shop opened by the yamen."

"Father, let's buy some more salt?" Although the family had little money left, they had to be strong on the way to escape from famine.

"Silly girl," Sun Wangui patted her head, "It's not that we don't want to buy more, but that salt is too expensive. Sometimes each household has a limited amount."

"So that's how it is." Sun Fuxi had learned about iron and salt before, but he didn't expect it to be so.No wonder the few knives for digging wild vegetables at home are only a small one, which is very difficult to use, and they are all rusty.

When they went to the salt shop and asked about the price, it was indeed as Sun Wangui said, expensive, not ordinary expensive.A catty of salt has also risen from the previous thirty or forty Wen to one hundred Wen.

Sun Fuxi somewhat understands why the local people, like the government, don't like disaster victims like them.It is really because of their arrival that the local prices have soared, and the lives of the local people have also been greatly affected.

Because the money left was only enough to buy a catty of salt, Sun Wangui only bought one catty.Counting the money he brought with him in his purse, there is less than a hundred cash in total, which is all their family's possessions so far.

Ji Xingze then bought two catties of salt, and bought a catty of sugar for fifty renminbi and gave them to Sun Fuxi. Now, he didn't have much left.

This is not the final cost. Sun Wangui thought that he wanted to buy steamed buns for the Chen family and wanted to make the children happy when he went back, so he decided to buy another forty steamed buns.

After Sun Fuxi knew that he was so generous, he asked: "Father, pork is less than a catty? Didn't we just buy white noodles? Or, let's buy some meat and let Mother and Aunt Chen make buns?" Not to mention saving a lot, maybe I can pack some more to eat on the road.Anyway, there is a storage bag in hand, so the buns are not afraid of spoilage, and they can also keep them warm.

"I also thought about buying meat and making buns by myself, but we don't have noodles?" Afraid that Sun Fuxi wouldn't understand, he explained, "It's something for dough, otherwise the dough won't rise, and the steamed buns won't be fluffy. soft.

"You can buy it!" She remembered that in modern times, not to mention noodles, even ready-made noodles were sold.

"Stupid girl," Sun Wangui laughed dumbfounded, "She relies on that to do business, who would sell it to us!"

"This father, just watch it."

She asked Sun Wangui for five cents, so that he and Ji Xingze didn't have to show up, and went straight to a steamed bun shop.

"Little girl, do you want to buy steamed buns?" Seeing her staring at the freshly baked steamed buns for a long time, the proprietress, who seemed to be only in her early thirties, asked her with a smile.

"Pretty lady boss, I don't buy steamed buns." In modern times, you can call her pretty sister, but in ancient times, few people could accept such a title.Even if your original intention is to praise the other party for being young, seniority is important here. The other party is probably not a few years younger than her mother, so you can't call her that.

"Haha, what's beautiful?" Obviously, this new name of hers delighted the other party, "Are you hungry and want to eat? I can give you a broken skin." The broken skin she said It means that the appearance is not very good, and it does not affect the taste.

"Thank you for the beautiful lady boss, but I can't ask for it."

"If there is anything you can't ask for, it's not stolen or robbed, I'll give it to you, and you take it." The proprietress said that she was going to wrap a broken steamed bun for her.

"No, no, I really don't want it. I just want to buy a face-to-face introduction with the pretty proprietress, and let my mother steam it for me when I go back." Only then did she reveal her real purpose.

"Do you want to buy a face primer?" The proprietress was very surprised, this was the first time she encountered it since she was in business.

"It's like this..." Sun Fuxi brought his family here after fleeing the famine. He hadn't eaten steamed buns for a long time, and wanted to save some money by steaming steamed buns at home, but told the proprietress half-truths and half-truths about not having noodles.

"Hey, it's not a big deal, I'll just give you some introductions." The proprietress was still very generous.

"Pretty lady boss, white flour is very expensive, I can't ask for it for nothing." Speaking of this, she handed the five Wen that she had just asked for from Sun Wangui to the boss, "I only have five Wen, you can just give some as you see fit."

"Then just wait, I'll give you an introduction."

In the end, Sun Fuxi got quite a few face-to-face introductions. She thanked the other party well and said some auspicious words before running back to find Sun Wangui who didn't show up.

In this way, there is only pork left to buy, and wild vegetables are naturally used for cooking.

To be honest, the price of pork was somewhat beyond Sun Fuxi's expectations.She thought that the price of rice, noodles, oil and salt is so expensive, and pork should not be lower.But after inquiring, I found out that although the pork has also increased a lot, it is only twenty yuan a catty.

In the end, Sun Wangui bought a piece of pork weighing more than three catties, and brought Sun Fuxi and Ji Xingze back to make an ox cart.In order to deceive others, Sun Wangui only took out some rice noodles and some old clothes to pretend.But even so, there are still people who are envious for a long time after seeing it.

What Sun Wangui and the three of them did not expect was that when they returned, they learned that the officers and soldiers had just left, and they were ordered to leave before sunset tomorrow.This completely disrupted the Sun family's original plan, and the escape was about to continue.
