Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

Yun Duo saw the grain shop and said, "Uncle, please stop the car in front of the grain shop."

After the mule cart stopped, Yun Duo got off and went into the grain shop. There was only one shopkeeper in the shop. When he saw that it was a young girl, he greeted her immediately and said, "Young lady, please come in. What kind of grain would you like to buy?"

Yun Duo entered the shop and saw several wooden rice troughs filled with various kinds of rice and flour.

Yun Duo walked over to the refined rice and fine flour section and asked the waiter, "How much are these refined rice and white flour?"

When the shopkeeper saw that the little girl was wearing a blue cotton dress with small flowers and had a delicate face, like a fairy from heaven, he thought she was a maid sent by a wealthy family to do some shopping, so he became even more attentive to her.

He hurriedly introduced: "Miss, this refined rice and fine white flour are full and white, and the flour is finely ground. One pound is only 15 wen; and one pound of brown rice and brown flour is only 5 wen; these two kinds of rice are also good and don't get stuck in the throat. You can take one pound away for 8 wen. Miss, do you want to buy this refined rice and flour?"

Yun Duo thought, although this refined rice and white flour did not look very white, but in this dynasty, the rice pounding technology was limited, and there were no modern machines for grinding rice and flour. It all relied on manual operation, and it was quite difficult to achieve this.

"Boss, I want to buy 100 kilograms of rice and 100 kilograms of flour. Can you give me a discount?"

Yun Duo knows that it’s not much cheaper, but she just feels that buying things without bargaining is a bit fun as she feels short of money.

"My dear girl, our shop has a small profit margin and there is not much profit. If you buy 100 catties of refined rice and white flour, I will give you two catties of refined rice and two catties of white flour. In addition, I see that you don't have a cloth bag, so I will give it to you for free. Do you think it's feasible?"

"Okay, boss, can you give me two more bags? I can put 200 kilograms of grain into four bags?"

The shopkeeper thought about it and realized that these linen bags cost 2 cents each and two would only cost 4 cents, so he nodded and agreed.

The shopkeeper weighed the rice and flour and put them in bags. Yun Duo paid the shopkeeper some money and asked him to help move the food onto the mule cart.

Yun Duo went to the grocery store across the street again and bought a ten-pound ceramic jar filled with five pounds of rapeseed oil, some brown sugar and rock sugar, and a few sheets of oil paper.

Yun Duo returned to the mule cart. Yun Hai and Yun Qing Shan were waiting there. Yun Duo took out a tael of silver and gave it to Yun Qing Shan. "Uncle, I need to check the things that the rice shop and the grocery store will deliver to me soon. Please go to the cake shop and buy me two boxes of osmanthus cake and two boxes of mung bean cake."

Yun Qingshan took the silver and went to buy cakes. At this time, the shopkeepers of the rice shop and the grocery store also asked the delivery guys to deliver the goods that Yun Duo bought to the car. After receiving the goods, Yun Duo quietly used the materials in the space to fill the rice bags and oil cans. She also unpacked the candies in the space, carefully wrapped two bags with oil paper, and quietly put them in the backpack.

When Yun Qingshan came back with the cakes, Yun Duo had already packed them. Looking at the four full bags of food, as well as oil, salt, sugar, vinegar and other condiments, Yun Qingshan thought to himself: Duo'er is really good at spending money! So many things must cost a lot of money, right?

Yun Qingshan gave the remaining silver to Yun Duo and asked Yun Hai: "Uncle, where are we going next?" Yun Duo used her consciousness to check the wall clock in the space. It was almost twelve o'clock. It was close to noon and Yun Duo was a little hungry, so she suggested: "Grandpa, let's go to the restaurant for dinner?"

However, Yunhai did not agree this time. It was not that he was reluctant to spend money, but he felt a little uneasy, and his eyelids kept twitching. He was worried that something would happen, so he said to Yunduo: "Duo'er, grandpa's eyelids keep twitching, and I always feel that something is going to happen. Let's buy some steamed buns to eat on the way home earlier."

Yun Duo smiled and nodded, then moved to the roadside bun shop and bought thirty fragrant meat buns and thirty soft white flour buns.

She also asked the lady boss of the steamed bun shop to bring three bowls of hot water and put them into the bamboo tubes they brought with them.

You can buy two steamed buns for one cent, and a baozi for two cents. Yun Duo asked the boss to put four baozi and four steamed buns into two oil paper bags, and then bought two clean cloth bags from the boss's wife.

She took out two steamed buns, put the remaining steamed buns into cloth bags, and put them into the backpack she brought. Seeing that Yun Duo bought so many steamed buns and buns, the proprietress charged two cents less for the cloth bags and said, "Little girl, I'm giving you two cloth bags. Next time you buy steamed buns and buns, come to me! I'll give you a discount." Yun Duo thanked her and carried the backpack to the cart. Yun Qingshan called Yun Duo back and prepared to drive the mule cart home.

Yun Duo handed two paper packages containing meat buns and two white flour buns to Yun Qingshan and Yun Hai, and she took the buns in her hand and ate them. These ancient buns were really big, the meat filling was very full, and the taste was pretty good.

Yun Qingshan took the steamed buns and dumplings. He didn't know that there was a basket full of steamed buns and dumplings in his backpack. He thought he only bought the ones in his hand. He said reluctantly: "Kid, why are you buying these white flour meat buns and dumplings for your uncle? Your uncle can just eat some whole grains steamed buns to fill his stomach." After saying that, he wanted to exchange the steamed buns and dumplings for those made of whole grains.

Seeing this, Yunhai hurriedly stopped him and said, "Qingshan, your niece bought it for you, so eat it quickly! I, your uncle, made some money today, so we can still afford a few white bread and steamed buns. If my eyelids weren't twitching, I would have taken you and Duo'er to a restaurant for a big meal!"

Hearing his uncle say that, Yun Qingshan stopped being polite, picked up the meat bun, took a bite and said incoherently, "Uncle, the meat bun is really delicious, you should try it too." It was the first time for him to eat meat buns in the county. In the past, when he went to the city in time for lunch, he would just buy two mixed flour steamed buns to fill his stomach.

Yun Duo was afraid that Yun Qingshan would be reluctant to eat, so she said to him, "Uncle, please don't be reluctant to eat. I have a basket full of steamed buns. If it's not enough, I have more."

Yun Qingshan saw a basket full of steamed buns and said with some pity, "How much money did you spend to buy so many of them, kid?

Yun Duo said with a smile: "Let's buy some big meat buns from the city and bring them back for everyone in the family to try. It only cost a few dollars. If grandpa treats us to a restaurant, this little money won't be enough! If we buy some big meat buns, I guarantee that my brothers and sisters will drool at their mouths."

Yun Qingshan was deeply moved. Duoer was such a sensible child. He was so kind to his younger brothers and sisters and did not let them down. He had lived up to the care and protection that those children had given him in the past.
