Bringing love across time and space

Chapter 40 Purchase of Substances

At breakfast time, sunlight shines through the window onto the exquisite wooden table, illuminating a table full of delicious food.

These delicacies are made by Lin Qingya. The steamed buns and millet porridge emit an enticing aroma, and the side dishes are also delicious.

These seasonings all come from Lin Qingya's space, making every bite of food full of unique charm.

Everyone sat around the table, wolfing down the delicious breakfast like hungry wolves.

An Xinyang couldn't help but sigh that every time he tasted Lin Qingya's dishes, he felt as if he was in a paradise on earth, which was far better than the delicacies in restaurants.

Even the Third Prince and Yan Xiaoyan praised the food highly. The Third Prince felt that he had spent so many years in the palace in vain.

The imperial chefs in the palace are not as good as Lin Qingya in cooking, and no one knows who Lin Qingya learned this skill from.

It would be great if I could eat it every day. I really envy my uncle.

Shortly after the meal, Liu Shun came over and urged everyone to set off.

Everyone quickly packed their bags and prepared to embark on a new journey.

Although they could buy tools such as carts to reduce their burden when they arrived in Anyu County, Gu Yuchen felt that with Lin Qingya by his side, there was no need for these cumbersome things.

However, it now seems that it is indeed necessary to purchase these tools in order to take care of the elderly Grandma Chao Jiuli, the children of Chao Jiuli's brother, and the children of the Anguo Mansion.

Gu Yuchen explained the situation to Liu Shun, and Liu Shun agreed after a little thought.

He shouted loudly: "If anyone needs to buy daily necessities, please come to me and report. I will take you to buy them in a while."

The reason why Liu Shun agreed so readily was not out of consideration for not tiring everyone out.

It was because when he received this mission, the emperor had privately warned him not to let Prince Chen and his entourage reach their destination too quickly.

The emperor had ulterior motives and intended to eliminate Prince Chen on the road. Therefore, Liu Shun agreed to Gu Yuchen's request.

Each family sent two representatives to purchase items, needless to say Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya.

The An family sent An Xinda and An Xinyang’s eldest son An Yiyu, who is Gu Yuchen’s fourth uncle and eldest cousin.

The Chao family consists of Chao Jiuli's eldest brother Chao Feng and second brother Chao Ning, and the Ruan family consists of Ruan Yangjiang and his eldest son Ruan Quanjian.

The Li family consists of the head of the Li family, Li Da, and his second son, Li Jie.

The Liu family consisted of Liu Tao and his eldest son Liu Qiyu. After everyone had finished packing, they followed the escorts out of the inn.

These families all come from military families, and each of them is proficient in boxing and has achieved high levels of martial arts attainments.

However, among this group of masters, the Ruan family's martial arts were obviously slightly inferior.

Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya were undoubtedly the best among the group, followed closely by Chao Wei's family.

Then there is the Anguo Mansion, and after that are the Li family, the Liu family and the Ruan family.

Lin Qingya and Gu Yuchen walked side by side, chatting and laughing, as if the whole world was in their hands.

An Xinda and An Yiyu remained vigilant at all times, paying close attention to Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya's every move.

They were wary of Lin Qingya, fearing that she would do something bad to Gu Yuchen.

The group came to the most prosperous street in Anyu County. There were shops lined on both sides of the street, and people were coming and going, making it very lively.

Gu Yuchen and his group first stepped into the shop selling carts, but the scene before them was completely different from the past.

There were six families in total, and each family needed two carts, which was a trivial matter in this prosperous place.

However, at this moment, they were sitting in front of the store, arguing fiercely over the price.

In the past, they were generous and eight hundred taels of silver were just a small amount of money in their eyes. They never thought that one day they would haggle over a few taels of silver.

But time flies and things are unpredictable. In just a few days, they experienced the hardships and difficulties of life.

After some fierce bargaining, they finally reached a consensus with the store owner at the price of three taels of silver per car.

Although the price is still high, it is already a rare opportunity for them.

They were in a very low mood, with helplessness and resentment in their eyes.

This experience made them deeply realize the impermanence and difficulty of life, and made them cherish every minute and every second.

They know that the road ahead is still long and they need to be more frugal to get out of this predicament.

They then walked into a grain store where there were already several customers selecting rice.

Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya were not in a hurry and waited patiently in line.

An Xinda and An Yiyu followed closely behind, silently guarding Gu Yuchen.

The rice in the grain store is of high quality and of various types. Gu Yuchen and Lin Qingya carefully select grains suitable for long-distance transportation.

During the selection process, Lin Qingya did not forget to share her insights and experiences with An Xinda and An Yiyu.

For example, rice will be infested with bugs after the summer, but if you put Sichuan peppercorns in it, the rice will not be infested with bugs. She also told them that Sichuan peppercorns bought at the pharmacy are actually Sichuan peppercorns.

This caused some changes in their understanding of her.

After purchasing food, they went to other shops and bought some daily necessities and necessities.

Lin Qingya took Gu Yuchen to the clothing store again and bought several sets of fine cotton clothes for Gu Yuchen and herself, and bought two sets of coarse cotton clothes for each of the servants in the mansion.

An Xinda and An Yiyu also bought several sets of fine cotton clothes for everyone in the mansion.

Because they are all demoted commoners and are still in exile, they cannot wear clothes made of fine materials.

After buying clothes, Lin Qingya took Gu Yuchen to the cloth shop again. Lin Qingya bought some bedding. It was May and it was still a bit cold at night.

An Xinda also bought some bedding. These people just stretched out their hands for clothes and opened their mouths for food, and never worried about these trivial matters.

So An Xinda just buys whatever Lin Qingya buys, without any opinion of his own at all.

Lin Qingya saw many chicken sellers on the street, so she bought a few chickens.

There weren't many people selling pork. I originally wanted to buy some pork intestines and pork stomach, but I didn't have enough time, so I gave up.

Everyone was buying what they needed, and soon all the items they needed were purchased.

After completing their shopping, they returned to the inn and put their purchases in order.

Gu Yuchen looked at the car full of supplies and felt deeply moved.

He didn't know what dangers this exile would bring, but with everyone's support, his confidence increased.

Everyone had lunch in the inn again, and Lin Qingya prepared lunch for everyone.

I made mouth-watering chicken, spicy chicken, Kung Pao chicken, braised pork, stir-fried pork, and a few vegetarian dishes.

The Third Prince originally wanted to steal the master's skills, but Lin Qingya kicked him out of the kitchen. He had to re-plan his plan.

There was no way around it. There were only two pork sellers in this county, but there were many chicken sellers, so I made a few more chicken dishes!
