Father Liu nodded in agreement. Since Zhang Hu was still listening, he didn't say anything else: "Yes, it will be difficult for us at the beginning. Let's take it slow.

Besides, we just want everyone to live a stable life. We don’t demand to be the richest man or anything like that.”

After listening to what Liu's father said, Zhang Hu couldn't tell what big business they were doing. At most, they were just small business owners.

But it's okay to have such an idea, because only with an idea will you take action.

He must have hoped that his life wouldn't be too bad following them.

"Uncle Liu, if you have the capital, you can go to the city to do some small business. In fact, before the drought, the entire court's policies were relatively good for merchants and farmers.

Although our emperor has not expanded the territory in this generation, he is not a incompetent person who neglects state affairs.

The water transport business had developed very well before.

We even had trade with other countries on the sea before. But the drought in the past two years has caused the entire Dayuan Kingdom to be in decline."

Father Liu also knows that natural disasters and man-made disasters are sometimes unavoidable, but such situations are both challenges and opportunities for them.

Some lower-middle class merchants or ordinary people must be having a hard time, and they are on the same starting line as these people.

Faced with such a situation, the country's subsequent policies will definitely be good policies that benefit the country and the people. As long as we seize the opportunity and lay a solid foundation, we will develop slowly.

"Yes, as long as we work hard, I believe next year's policy will definitely be beneficial to us. It will be no problem to support our family.

All right, let's go and meet them. Let's go into the city early and find an inn to stay in, and discuss which people will go there first by boat."

"Let's go..."

After Liu Caixia and her group separated from Liu's father, they walked along the market towards where the carriages were parked.

There are a lot of things sold in the market, including a lot of dry food, steamed buns and steamed buns shops, pancake shops, dim sum shops, and a few restaurants.

Liu Caixia bought a lot of dry food along the street. The dry food at the dock should be cheaper than in the city. She would have to eat it later anyway, and the weather was turning cooler now.

Liu Caixia didn't know what her father's plan was. She was thinking of entering the city and leaving through another gate early the next morning. She never thought about taking a boat to Shanqing County.

However, there is no need to worry if you buy dry food. If you really can’t find it, you can put it in the space.

On the way, we also visited three shops that looked like warehouses. It was not wrong to call them warehouses. The shops were very big. After entering, they were divided into two areas, with some samples placed in the front. There were shops selling various coarse and fine grains, as well as many shops selling cloth and daily necessities.

There is another shop that probably sells sunset items, as well as rare items such as sugar and salt. This shop should belong to the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce. Salt was a controlled item in ancient times, and ordinary people could not do this business. It might also be a government-owned shop.

Sea salt is still the main source of salt at present.

I don’t know if there were any salt lakes in the inland during this era.

The salt-making technology here is not very good, and most people eat coarse salt.

Liu Caixia also knows how to make fine salt.

But she also knew that it would be difficult for them to do this business, so they could only watch.

These shops can do both retail and wholesale, and they serve as both warehouses and shops.

The retail price and wholesale price are definitely different. Liu Caixia didn't think too much about it. She bought some of the things she liked, including salt, sugar and oil.

These can all be used. What they had eaten before were all animal oils. There was actually still a lot of salt left, and the sugar was not used along the way. Liu Caixia just wanted to know more about the price and quality.

Buy more salt to use for the two women to rinse their mouths. They would secretly use the collected toothpaste and toothbrushes to brush their teeth.

People in this era all rinse their mouths. If conditions permit, they rinse their mouths with salt water and then sweep their mouths and teeth with willow branches. If conditions do not permit, they just sweep their mouths and teeth with willow branches and then rinse their mouths with clean water.

You definitely can't let them use toothpaste and toothbrushes, but it's okay to give them some salt.

This is how women shop. They think they haven't bought anything, but find themselves carrying a lot of bags in their hands.

Fortunately, there were quite a few people in the group, and some of them were doing the hard labor.

However, most of the items purchased were food. Liu Caixia also bought a lot of seeds in a store.

They had collected almost no seeds before, only some yams, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, potatoes and the like that could barely be used for planting.

Other wheat and rice seeds are not collected. In modern society, these are sold in special places.

There are fewer of them sold in the city.

Although Liu Caixia didn't understand much, she had grown up with her father Liu and was not completely unfamiliar with some grains.

So, when she saw the broad beans and peas, she picked them up and looked at them.

It was a normal thing, but it caught the attention of the waiter. Seeing that she was interested, the waiter took the initiative to greet her:

"Madam, do you know these two seeds? They can be eaten. Our boss asked the cook to make them once. Although the taste is average, it can definitely fill your stomach. But no one knows how to plant them? What are their growth habits?"

Liu Caixia understood instantly that these two things were just passed down. If they could be planted, there would definitely be a big harvest in the future. Although she didn't know the specific planting method, Liu's father definitely knew.
