Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

After selling the items, Xiao Wan felt relieved. As the saying goes, money in hand brings peace of mind.

Next, I took Old Man Xiao with me to go on a shopping spree, and started the shopping mode.

Xiao Wan was born in the north in her previous life and loved noodles, so her first stop was the rice and grain store.

I bought 60 kilograms of fine noodles and 20 kilograms of coarse noodles to mix with each other, 30 kilograms of refined white rice, 10 kilograms of brown rice, a large can of oil, a can of salt, a small can of white sugar, a small bag of brown sugar, and a can each of soy sauce and vinegar.

The owner of the Xide Grocery Store was busy running around.

The total cost was seven taels and eight cents of silver. Father Xiao was also shocked by his daughter's generosity.

Xiao Wan agreed with the boss to temporarily store the items in the shop and ask the shop assistants to help carry them to the edge of town, where the village's donkey carts were used to transport people.

The boss agreed readily.

Next, Xiao Wan took her father to the meat stall.

No matter how delicious the wild vegetable pancakes were, they weren't oily or juicy. My parents worked hard, my brothers and sisters were still young, and even the original owner had a skinny, flat body and had to rely on food to supplement his diet.

Xiao Wan bought five pounds of pork belly. Nowadays, people like to eat fatty meat, but Xiao Wan doesn't like fatty meat, so she bought ten pounds of lean meat and spent half a tael of silver.

Seeing the bones thrown on the meat stall, Xiao Wan negotiated with the boss for ten cents to buy a large pile of them. Turning around, she saw the pig intestines, hearts, lungs, livers and other offal piled on the ground, and her eyes lit up.

The boss said that it was also a large pile of goods that cost ten cents each. Xiao Wan paid the money readily, put the items in temporary storage, and went to buy some elsewhere with her father.

Father Xiao asked hesitantly, "Wan'er, this water is stinky and no one dares to eat it. Why did you buy it? Isn't our family rich?"

"Don't worry, Dad, I can clean it up and make it delicious."

Old Man Xiao looked at his daughter with worry. It seemed that the family was so short of oil and water that his daughter even craved for food.

Xiao Wan had no idea what her father was thinking, but she was thinking about stir-fried pork intestines and spicy stir-fried pork liver.

It was already late in the afternoon, almost two o'clock, and the father and son had not yet had lunch.

She and Old Man Xiao came to a noodle stall where an elderly couple was selling noodles, including plain noodles, egg noodles, and shredded pork noodles.

Old Man Xiao wanted clear soup noodles, but Xiao Wan was not happy about it and ordered two servings of shredded pork noodles for the two of them.

Although they could afford to eat at a restaurant, Old Man Xiao was used to living a hard life and firmly disagreed.

I have to say, the noodles here taste really good. Two bowls cost thirty cents in total, and the two of us were very satisfied.

Xiao Wan went to the cloth shop with her father again and picked out two pieces of coarse cloth and five pieces of fine cotton cloth. They were not particularly good, but they were suitable for wearing when going out or working in the fields.

Xiao Wan found some soft fabric and planned to make some small, fitted clothes for Liu, herself, and her sister. The whole family got new clothes, including two sets for Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao.

I don’t have a decent quilt at home, but the weather is getting warmer, and the one I bought today can’t be carried away anymore. I can only wait until the next time I come to town to buy cotton.

When Xiao Wan went out, she saw a familiar figure pushing a pile of black things in a cart. Xiao Wan looked carefully and found that it was Zhao Mingyuan.

The car was piled with the wild boar that was shot yesterday, a smaller wild boar next to it, and a few pheasants and rabbits.

Xiao Wan and Old Man Xiao hurried forward to ask.

It turned out that Zhao Mingyuan wanted to find a place to sell the wild animals, but after visiting several restaurants, the price they asked was too low, so Zhao Mingyuan was not very willing to sell it.

After listening to this, Xiao Wan said, "Why don't we go to Yunkelai and ask if they want it?"

Zhao Mingyuan wondered how Xiao Wan knew this, but he was a reserved person, so before he could ask, Xiao Wan pulled him towards Yunkelai, and Old Man Xiao hurriedly followed behind to help push the cart.
