The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble

Although Yun the butcher has been buying food for his family, he has many children and the food is consumed quickly. However, most of the food was bought last year when the price of food was not high. After the price of food has risen this year, the amount of food bought for his family is less than last year. If you calculate it, it doesn't cost much.

This time when they went to the city, Zhang gave Yun the butcher 500 taels of silver. Except for the grain, cotton, and salt that had to be bought, Yun was asked to buy the rest. Zhang was afraid that she would encounter a situation where she didn't have enough silver to buy something she wanted, so she asked Yun the butcher to bring more money. At worst, if they couldn't spend it all, they could just take it back, and there would be no loss. So, Zhang was a good housekeeper and did a good job in managing money.

After Yun Yiyi calculated the money needed, she ran towards Yun the Butcher.

"Dad, the three uncles at the entrance of the alley over there are selling corn, cotton and potatoes. I heard from them that they were also refugees from outside the city. However, they have relatives living in the city. They have a good relationship with their relatives and often visit each other. This time, the second day after they arrived at the city gate, they asked someone to send a message to their relatives. The relatives helped them pay the deposit for entering the city. They also arranged a house for them to live in and prepared a lot of food for them.

However, the old lady of the refugee family was a sensible person. She felt that she had troubled her relatives too much. So she asked her son to bring some food out to sell, thinking that the money could help her son find a job. In this way, they could slowly settle down in the city. After all, the relatives are also a big family, and they can't always be troubled. They still need to be self-reliant. "

Yun Yiyi secretly thought, Dad, please don't be angry, this is also a white lie. Otherwise, there is no reason to take out the food and cotton in the space. Yun Yiyi always cooks for herself, but she feels guilty when she sees Yun the butcher, Zhang, and the three brothers of the Yun family who don't have enough to eat every meal.

"Yiyi, are they really selling grain and cotton over there? Why are they selling it secretly?" Yun the butcher asked in confusion.

"Dad, they didn't want to be discovered by their relatives, so they came out secretly to sell grain." Yun Yiyi explained.

"Is that so? How much do their corn, cotton and potatoes cost per pound?" Yun the butcher asked.

"Dad, the corn they sell is corn kernels, not corn flour. There is a basket of corn kernels, about a little over 100 catties. They said that based on 100 catties, the price is 20 coins per catty, which is 2 taels of silver in total. Dad, I looked at the corn they sell, the quality is very good, it is not stale, it is not moldy, and there is no peculiar smell."

"Dad, the cotton they sell is not the kind you buy in the grocery store. They sell the kind with cotton bolls. I think the cotton is quite white and clean, and it doesn't smell bad. They sell it for 200 coins per catty. It's also filled in a basket. They said that basket is 40 catties, a total of 8 taels of silver. That basket is also 40 catties, no more, no less, so don't worry about us getting hurt."

"There is another basket, and on the top is a hen that is more than one year old but less than two years old. They feed it themselves, and they say it can lay one egg a day. I saw that the hen was very energetic. The hen's feathers looked very bright. The hen was not small. They should feed it well. The young man said that this hen cost one or two taels of silver. I have never bought a hen, so I don't know if the price is high."

"Under the basket where the hens were placed, there was a large basket of potatoes. They said it was also filled with 100 jin, no more, no less, so the weight was calculated based on 100 jin. The price was 25 wen per jin. 100 jin of potatoes was 2.5 liang of silver. Their potatoes were big and fresh, not the kind that had been stored for a long time. I felt they were even fresher than the potatoes we bought at the grocery store before."

"Dad, do you think the prices they quoted are appropriate? Is there anyone who quoted a very high price?" Yun Yiyi asked.

"The price of cotton is not high. Although I have brought cotton bolls, the price they offer is indeed very low. You can go to the middle of the basket and the bottom of the basket and take out a handful of cotton to have a look. If it is as good as the one above, you can buy all of it.

When we go back and rest, we can take the time to pick out the cotton seeds. Then we can fluff the cotton and use it to make clothes and quilts. If you think about it carefully, this price is much more affordable than the clean cotton we bought before. "Yun the butcher said happily.

"The price of that corn is very affordable. When you go back later, check it carefully like you would check cotton. As long as the quality is the same, we will buy all the corn. What's more, the corn kernels are fine. We have bought corn flour this time, and we still have flour at home, which is enough for us to eat for a while. After we finish eating it all, we will find a way to grind the corn kernels. From now on, corn kernels are easier to store than corn flour." Yun the butcher continued.

"It's surprising that there are still people selling hens. But let's buy a hen. Take it home. Keep it in a basket, feed it some cabbage leaves every day, and occasionally feed it some grain, and it will be alive. Hens don't usually crow, but I remember that hens will crow when they lay eggs. If it doesn't work, feed it regularly every day, and tie its mouth with a straw rope after feeding.

This way, it won't be easy for others to find out. " Yun the butcher thought about it and felt that this was a good idea. The hen would lay an egg every day, which would also provide nutrition for the children, which was a good thing.

Yiyi, if the potatoes are really big and fresh, we can buy them all. Potatoes are easy to store, can be used as food, and can be used in cooking. They taste good. In the future, as the weather gets colder, potatoes will not sprout easily. Don't be afraid to buy a lot. The key is that the price they sell is really cheap. Much cheaper than the potatoes we bought before.

I guess they didn't go to the grain store to ask for the price. It's also possible that they quoted a low price so that they could sell it faster. They didn't want their relatives to find out and be embarrassed. "Yun the butcher said to himself.

"Dad, if we buy all the cotton, potatoes, corn, and hens, it will cost a total of thirteen and a half taels of silver. Can you calculate it? Is it correct?" Yun Yiyi asked.

"Cotton is 200 wen per jin, a total of 40 jin, which is 8 liang of silver. Potatoes are 100 jin, 25 wen per jin, a total of 2.5 liang of silver. Corn is 100 jin, 20 wen per jin, a total of 2 liang of silver. Hens are 1 liang each. So, all the things add up to 13.5 liang of silver.

That's right, Yiyi, you calculated correctly. Yiyi, your little head is so smart and useful. This is much faster than your brother's calculations." Yun the butcher praised Yun Yiyi happily.
