Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted

Today is the day of the big market held in the town every seven days. The town is bustling with people coming and going. Various vendors selling food are promoting their own products, and the shouts are one after another. Lu Yi got off the donkey cart, but did not rush to buy things that were in short supply at home. Instead, he slowly chose a noodle stall that seemed to be doing good business to fill his stomach first.

"Young sir, what would you like to eat? We have everything here." The proprietress was sharp-eyed and noticed that there was someone standing in front of the stall. She immediately raised her face and smiled, greeting Lu Yi enthusiastically.

Lu Yi happened to see the soy milk on the table next to them. The father and son ordered half of the table's food. The little boy was eating so much that sweat broke out on his forehead. His hands were constantly moving, and he was chewing with mouthfuls of noodles and sips of soy milk, his mouth full. She also felt greedy when she saw it.

Swallowing his saliva quietly, Lu Yi opened his mouth to order: "Give me a bowl of soy milk and a bowl of shredded pork noodles."

Lu Yi took out the silver and handed it over, then took the change from the boss and put it away properly. She went to a table that had just been cleaned by the proprietress and sat down. Not long after, the proprietress came over with a bowl of steaming noodles.

After taking a few bites, the soy milk was brought over.

Although there was not much shredded pork, the noodles were quite filling, so Lu Yi left feeling very full.

But I don’t know if it was a psychological factor, but I felt like my stomach was full of food, but when Lu Yi walked to the bun shop, he suddenly wanted to eat some more.

Lu Yi rubbed his stomach. The aroma of the white flour of the buns mixed with the smell of meat went straight into his nose. The plump white buns stayed in the steamer, as if saying, come and eat me!

Lu Yi was amused by the scene she imagined. She helplessly counted out forty cents and handed them to the vendor, bought ten steaming hot meat buns, took out a meat bun and ate it while walking, and put the rest in an oil paper bag pretending to put them in a bamboo basket, but actually put them away in the space.

Lu Yi didn't save a cent on this trip to the market.

There was a stall selling earthenware bowls at the market, and Lu Yi picked out two. Actually, there was nothing much to choose from, as the bowls on the stall didn't have any special patterns or colors, and they all looked basically the same. But sometimes when buying something, you just pick based on your feeling, so Lu Yi picked out the two that looked the most pleasing to the eye and put them in the basket.

After a round of shopping, Lu Yi had a bunch of candied haws in her hand. She hadn't planned to buy so many, but the man selling them said he had been making them for thirty years and that they were absolutely delicious. Buying more would definitely be worth it, and he even offered to give her a few cents less. Lu Yi was so tempted that she generously bought all nine of the remaining candied haws in his hand.

With the help of these candied haws, Lu Yi attracted the attention of many children as he walked along. They all looked at him enviously and ate the candied haws one by one happily.

Finding an inconspicuous corner, Lu Yi threw away the thin wooden stick that he had eaten, and put the remaining candied haws into the space.

When I looked up again, I found that I had arrived at a grain store.

This grain store is the largest one in town. It is a real century-old store and the prices are fair to everyone. Lu Yi walked in with confidence.

The waiter who was sitting inside doing nothing saw a customer coming in and was about to greet him, but when he looked closely he found that it was a child. He raised his butt halfway and sat back on the chair, with no intention of getting up to greet him.

Lu Yi didn't say anything. She was not used to having a salesperson accompanying her.

Lu Yi looked at them one by one. Brown rice was five cents a dou, polished rice was thirty cents a dou, coarse flour was eight cents a dou, and fine flour was thirty-five cents a dou.

There were many grains that Lu Yi had never seen before displayed at the back, which looked quite tempting, but Lu Yi still decided to buy all refined rice.

After all, you get what you pay for! Under the current circumstances, she didn't want to let her belly down. Although she didn't have much money now and was about to spend it all, it didn't matter. She could still earn more!

"Weigh some of this refined rice for me."

"Hey, how much do you want?" the waiter took out a small bag and asked casually.

"With this tael of silver, how much can you put in? Just fill it all up for me." Lu Yi couldn't tell the difference between a dou and a shi, so he simply took out the budgeted silver.

"Hey, you're out here buying food for your family, right? This is fine rice at thirty wen a dou. If you buy the wrong thing, we won't refund you!"

The waiter kindly reminded.

It's not his fault for being nosy. These days, except for the landlords who are dressed in silk, who can eat refined rice for every meal? This one or two taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to live for most of half a year. How can they possibly buy all refined rice?

Maybe the child's mother asked him to buy a dou or half a dou, and the child might have remembered it wrongly.

Lu Yi shook his head and said, "Just pretend to be me. Don't worry, I won't back down."

If you don't make money when you have it, you're a bastard! It was rare that a lot of refined rice was sold at once. The waiter shut up, took the silver, and weighed it on a small scale. Hmm, it was a full ounce.

So he neatly packed the corresponding amount of fine rice for Lu Yi without saying anything else.

Lu Yi found a secluded corner and stored the refined rice in his space, leaving only about 20 kilograms in a bamboo basket. He also bought some coarse salt and soy sauce.

After visiting the market, Lu Yi only had two cents left, which she had suddenly thought of saving for the donkey cart. That's right, the donkey cart charged per trip and didn't offer credit.

When we arrived at the agreed location, a donkey was snorting out of boredom. Several people who had finished shopping were already on the bus. Those who had not returned would probably have to wait for the next bus. The things they brought to the market would not sell out that quickly.

Lu Yi climbed onto the car holding a heavy bamboo basket that he had prepared in advance. As soon as he sat down in his old seat, he saw the heads of Lu Yuanshan and Fang Youtian emerging little by little in the distance.

Lu Yuanshan held Fang Youtian in his arms, sweating profusely and panting from exhaustion.

There are some things that you really don't know the results of unless you try. It's no problem for him to walk back and forth normally, and carrying a child as old as Fang Youtian for a whole morning is even more of a piece of cake. He didn't expect that adding these two things together and walking to the town with the child in his arms would really make him exhausted.

Lu Yuanshan was too tired to speak, and Fang Youtian was unable to open his eyes due to the scorching sun. His whole body was filled with the stench of men's sweat. He was in a bad mood and was listless and refused to speak.

When they got closer and saw Lu Yi, the two of them snorted at the same time, turned their heads and walked past the donkey cart in a noble manner without even glancing at Lu Yi. At the same time, they automatically imagined the scene of Lu Yi with tears in his eyes and full of self-blame and regret.

In fact, Lu Yi looked at them like idiots and was glad that he had saved two cents so that he could ride on the donkey cart. Otherwise, with his current physical strength, his legs would definitely not be able to support him back to the village.

After returning home, Lu Yi first put down the bamboo basket, sat down on a chair to rest, took out a cup of iced mung bean soup from the space, and drank it in big gulps. The icy taste mixed with the aroma of mung beans, Lu Yi drank it happily, and he felt refreshed.
