Traveling through the 1940s, the whole village was massacred at the beginning
Chapter 103 Why is old flour whiter than new flour?
Yan Xuyang then remembered about buying food. He picked up Jiang Jiyun and ran out without wanting to watch the fun.
It's getting late now. If they buy some food and some other things, it will probably be dark by the time they get home.
The brother and sister went to find a place to sell food. They asked several people, but either they couldn't understand what they said, or they couldn't understand what the other person said.
The two of them finally found a place to buy food. Jiang Jiyun turned to Yan Xuyang and said, "Brother, you have to drive the ox cart over here, otherwise how are we going to move the food?"
"Then I'll drive the ox cart over here, and you don't go anywhere here!" Yan Xuyang ran away after giving the instructions.
Jiang Jiyun entered the store and bargained with the shopkeeper before buying three bags of coarse grains, a small bag of refined rice, a small bag of white flour, and two large bags of black flour.
"Uncle shopkeeper, could you please help me move to the alley next door? My brother will be here soon."
When the shopkeeper saw that the child bought a lot of things, he asked his assistant to help deliver the things to the entrance of the alley.
Yan Xuyang looked at all the things on the ground and only paid forty-two dollars. You couldn't buy so many things based on the current grain prices!
Seeing his puzzled expression, Jiang Jiyun explained, "Brother, most of the grain I bought was old, so the price was a little cheaper. I also pestered the shopkeeper to give me some chili powder, a handful of salt, and a small pot of oil."
Yan Xuyang looked at the gifts without saying anything, then came over and loaded all the things into the car.
The brother and sister drove the ox cart to the door of the cloth shop.
"Brother, please drive the bullock cart out and wait for me! I will go and check out the fabric."
Yan Xuyang was worried, "I'd better stay and accompany you!"
"Brother, you'd better leave quickly. I see the shopkeeper's face is turning green. A cow has shit in front of someone's store." Jiang Jiyun said when he saw the cloth shop owner's twitching face.
Yan Xuyang looked down, apologized to the shopkeeper, and said to Jiang Jiyun, "Then I'll wait for you at that intersection!"
Jiang Jiyun walked into the shop and bargained with the female shopkeeper again and bought two pieces of dark-colored cloth for his grandfather and his family to make cotton-padded clothes, red cloth with small flowers for his sister-in-law, Wanting and himself, and a piece of pure cotton, which was also the most expensive, to make underwear for his own family.
When she saw cotton, she bought dozens of kilograms of it. She really didn't have this thing in her space. There were only various silk quilts, silk quilts, down quilts and other things in her space. She didn't seem to have seen a cotton quilt.
"My pretty shopkeeper sister, I've bought so much from you, can you give me some scraps of cloth to make shoes at home? There are so many people in my family who don't have cotton shoes!"
When the shopkeeper heard the little girl's sweet talk, she laughed and said, "I was wondering how your parents could let a little kid like you go out to buy things. It turns out that you look so young but are so smart. Well, since you are so sweet, there are three bags of this year's rags over there. Take them back!"
"Thank you, beautiful sister. You will definitely make a fortune this year!" Jiang Jiyun went to drag the bags.
Seeing that she was not even as tall as the bag, the female shopkeeper said to the clerk next to her, "Please help her carry the things to her ox cart. She is not even as tall as the bag and she will not be able to move the things before dark."
"Sister, if you ask someone for help, just help. How can you make personal attacks?" Jiang Jiyun looked at the female shopkeeper with resentment.
"Ginseng? Rooster? You are a really good eater, but a rooster won't work, so you have to use an old hen."
Jiang Jiyun nodded with a twitch in his mouth. "Well, it's better to use an old hen, hehe..."
After saying goodbye to the female shopkeeper, Jiang Jiyun followed the waiter and left. Yan Xuyang saw the things in Jiang Jiyun's hand and ran over to help take them.
"Brother, go to the store and bring the cloth back. I have a cotton bag in my hand and it's not that heavy."
Jiang Jiyun sat on the ox cart, gasping for breath, and felt the pain in his chest again from exerting force.
"I told you I was here but you didn't listen to my advice. You must be feeling uncomfortable! Just lie down on the bag and sleep. We'll go back directly." Yan Xuyang stood on the ox cart, spread a piece of cloth on the bag and carried Jiang Jiyun onto it.
They were allowed to leave only after their ox carts were inspected by the Imperial Army at the city gate. The county town was blockaded shortly after they left.
It was getting darker and darker. Three people were standing at the entrance of Caijiagou village, looking into the distance.
"Wenmin! Why haven't they come back yet? Did something happen?" Mr. Jiang Liu's eyes were full of worry.
Jiang Wenming carried Xiaobao on his back and said, "They are just going to buy things, nothing should happen."
Ma Chao hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything, but he was thinking in his heart that the little girl seemed to be the nemesis of the Japanese. Wherever she went, the Japanese would be in trouble. He hoped to have more children like this.
"There's light! I see light over there. They must be back." Jiang Wenming pointed to the tiny fire in the distance.
"I hope they really come back safely!" Mr. Jiang Liu still looked at them worriedly.
Ten minutes later, they saw their cows coming back. Uncle Jiang Liu was leaning on a stick and looking at a pile of things behind Yan Xuyang.
"Why did you buy so many things?" Mr. Jiang Liu looked at bag after bag of things.
"Most of what we bought was old grain. Grain is too expensive now, and this much grain cost more than 40 dollars. My sister even said that the whole village raised money to buy it for her. Grain is too expensive now, and we really can't afford it." Yan Xuyang sighed.
"Is she asleep? Has she eaten?" Jiang Wenming looked at the person who was snoring on the bag. She was covered with cloth and clothes.
"I bought some wild vegetable cakes, and she ate them and went to sleep." Yan Xuyang jumped down from the ox cart and stood beside it, taking out a paper bag from under the bag.
"Leave it there and eat it when we get back. Help them onto the ox cart and we'll walk back." Jiang Wenming helped Ma Chao onto the carriage.
Yan Xuyang ran to the other side and helped Grandpa Jiang Liu up, while Ma Chao drove the ox cart back first.
When Xiaobao saw that his sister left without saying a word, he got so anxious that he grabbed Jiang Wenming's hair.
"Ouch! My ancestors, let's go back with you now. I shouldn't have tied you so high." Jiang Wenming reached out to pull his hand down.
"Hehehe..." Yan Xuyang came over, untied Xiaobao and hugged him.
"Ahhhhh..."
Xiaobao ran towards the ox cart in a hurry, and Yan Xuyang held Xiaobao and jogged behind it.
"Giggle..."
Xiaobao thought they were playing a game with him and laughed. Jiang Wenming followed them with the torch handed to him by Yan Xuyang.
Jiang Jiyuan opened the gate of the courtyard and Ma Chao drove the ox cart into the yard.
Du Wanqing came over and looked at her sister-in-law who was snoring and drooling, then gently carried her to the room and made her sleep next to Jiang Wanting.
Jiang Jiyuan and the others helped to move things into the house. Master Jiang Liu opened the bag and looked at the old rice and noodles under the candlelight. He was worried that the children had been cheated.
