Just six toothbrushes and three cans of bamboo salt cost two taels of silver, but she knew very well that rare things would naturally have high prices, which was the law of the market.

Taking advantage of the purchasing momentum, Su Yu bought various daily necessities one by one. In the process, she gradually discovered that many necessities that she thought only existed in modern society actually existed in this era in a more primitive and simple way.

There are no industrially produced shampoos, but there are shampoo creams made from slow-cooked natural herbs; there are no modern chemically synthesized shower gels, but there are bath beans that can produce rich foam and nourish the skin; there are no expensive hair care essential oils, but there are hair oils extracted from various flower essences, exuding a natural fragrance.

All of this reflects the ancients' wisdom and attention to life.

Although the prices of these natural traditional products are often prohibitive for ordinary people and they are exclusive to the powerful and wealthy, in Su Yu's eyes, they carry the charm of nature and history and are priceless treasures that deserve to be cherished.

But before making a decision, she still carefully observed every detail of the store - the clean and tidy store, the rice and flour stacked in an orderly manner, exuding an indescribable simplicity and reliability.

The air is filled with a faint fragrance of grains, which makes people feel soothed.

Su Yu secretly praised in his heart that the atmosphere here was completely different from other grain shops, as if the customer experience was put first.

When the waiter saw Su Yu nodding in agreement, he looked even more proud. He took down several exquisite sample boxes from the shelf and showed them to Su Yu one by one: "These are our most popular types of rice and flour, from the soft glutinous rice from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River to the chewy wheat from the cold border in the north. Each type is carefully selected and of high quality."

Su Yu took the box, gently stroked the fine rice grains and soft flour with his fingertips, and had made a decision in his heart.

She raised her head, her eyes determined. “Let’s choose this Northeast long-grain fragrant rice and stone-ground whole wheat flour. Ten kilograms of each.”

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper personally stepped forward with a smile and said, "Miss, you have good taste. These two products are indeed the signature products of our store. Don't worry, our Xia Family Grain Store always sells genuine goods at fair prices, and never adulterates. Since this is your first visit, I will also give you a bag of selected grains. I wish you a happy life and good health."

Su Yu felt warm at these words and felt respected and cared for like never before.

When she was paying, the shopkeeper packed the items for her personally with great skill, and each item was carefully placed to ensure that they would not be damaged on the way.

Carrying a heavy bag of grain and walking out of the Xia family grain store, Su Yu's heart was filled with satisfaction and joy.

This shopping experience not only allowed her to obtain high-quality and low-priced daily necessities, but more importantly, she felt the warmth brought by sincerity and trust.

In the busy and indifferent urban life, such simple warmth is particularly precious.

Walking on the way home, the setting sun shone obliquely, and the afterglow sprinkled on her shoulders. Su Yu's steps were relaxed and happy. She knew that this little luxury in simple life was the best reward for her efforts.

In the future, no matter what the weather, she will continue to move forward with this persistence and optimism, and find her own happiness and satisfaction in every detail of life.

Inside the grain shop, the shelves are arranged closely and all kinds of goods are displayed in between, ranging from crystal clear glutinous rice to fragrant whole wheat flour, to various plump and round beans.

The condiment area is even more colorful, with fiery red chili powder, tempting spicy aroma of Sichuan peppercorns, and bottles and jars arranged in an orderly manner, like a carefully arranged painting.

Just as Su Yu was immersed in the dazzling array of goods, a tender and adorable little kid came into his sight. He was holding an ancient pottery jar carefully in his hands, with anticipation gleaming in his eyes. He was obviously waiting for the store owner to fill his empty pottery jar with golden and transparent cooking oil.

This unexpected discovery made Su Yu very happy. He originally thought that in this era he could only rely on making lard at home, but he didn't expect that the ancients already had the exquisite skills to extract edible oil.

Without hesitation, she said to herself "buy, buy, buy", and decided to buy these necessities.

The family's granary was still well stocked, but the rice stock was dwindling. Other items such as grains, condiments and daily necessities all fell into her shopping basket after careful selection.

After a while, the purchased items had piled up like a small mountain, but when he paid the bill, he only spent eight taels of silver. This affordable price made Su Yu quite satisfied.

Looking at the mountain of items in front of him, Su Yu couldn't help but feel a headache. How to transport them back home became a problem.

At this time, the shopkeeper seemed to see through her troubles and kindly suggested: "If you don't mind, our shop provides horse-drawn carriage delivery service. Just tell us your address and you can enjoy door-to-door service."

When Su Yu heard this, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he quickly replied, "Liushu Village is located in Qingshui Town."

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper's expression changed slightly and he explained apologetically that their service scope was limited to the urban area and they were unable to serve remote areas like Liushu Village.

Although Su Yu felt a little disappointed, he still accepted the reality with a "OK".

Recalling that the sundries in the house were scattered all over the floor due to Zhou Yao's mess, especially the lost bamboo basket, which contained not only the small toys prepared for Xier, but also the old clothes borrowed from Xie Xinghua.

Although the clothes were old, it was her responsibility that they were lost, so she planned to buy Xie Xinghua a new set of clothes as compensation.

Thinking of Xier and Jiang Ziling's clothes that had been washed so much that they turned white, and the scene of them taking turns sleeping on the bed, Su Yu felt sad, and decided not only to buy new clothes for each of them, but also to add some bedding so that Jiang Ziling could have a warm bed on the floor.

As a result, a few more items were quietly added to the shopping list.

Faced with Su Yu's ever-growing shopping list, the shopkeeper kindly suggested that she could store the goods in the store first and pick them up later when she found a suitable method of transportation.

Su Yu agreed with this suggestion, thinking that the shopkeeper was honest and reliable, and completely different from those vendors who defrauded customers, so she continued her shopping trip with peace of mind.

In a cloth shop, Su Yu carefully selected several pieces of cloth with delicate texture and warm color. Although her needlework skills were not outstanding, she believed that it was always good to have these cloths.

At the same time, she also did not forget to select suitable fabrics and customize new clothes for Xier, Jiang Ziling and herself.

In order to make up for Xie Xinghua's loss, Su Yu specially picked out a set of simple yet elegant clothes for her as compensation, and neither party owed her anything.

Just as she was thinking about buying a few pairs of shoes, Xier's shoe size was easy to determine, but Jiang Ziling's size made her hesitant.

In the end, considering the current actual situation, Su Yu decided to buy necessities for Xier and himself first. As for Jiang Ziling's part, he had to leave it for later.
