Mom takes her baby to travel through ancient times? Farming and business are both important

As soon as Bai Zhizhi heard the little beggar say that the county magistrate's mother was going to have a birthday, she already had an idea in her mind.

In modern times, when we talk about birthdays, we will definitely think of birthday cakes.

Although there was no such thing in ancient times, it was not completely impossible to make. Bai Zhizhi just thought about the tutorial in her mind, then figured out the general process and decided what to buy.

Making a cake is actually not difficult. Just prepare everything and put in a little effort.

With so many adults at home, heavy work is definitely not a problem.

Bai Zhizhi thought about it and took the two Zhou brothers through twists and turns into a grocery store.

Bai Zhizhi discovered this grocery store by chance. Although the store is small, it has basically everything. It is just right for her to buy everything she wants at once without having to go to other places.

Bai Zhizhi had been here many times before, and the shop owner recognized her immediately and greeted her with a smile, "Mrs. Bai, what would you like to buy today?"

Bai Zhizhi smiled back, "I want to buy some flour, milk, and eggs. Do you have any?"

She remembered that she had seen it before, but she didn't know if it was still for sale.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled again. "If you go to other shops, you might not be able to buy milk, but I do have it here."

His younger brother was a traveling merchant. Some time ago, he got a cow from somewhere. The cow looked strange, but it had a lot of milk. The people in the family couldn't finish it, so he thought of selling it in the shop.

But not many people buy it. I didn’t expect to meet someone who wants it today.

The shopkeeper moved quickly. He first pointed out the location of the flour and eggs to Bai Zhizhi, and then walked behind the counter to pack the milk.

"Take the eggs and flour as you like. I'll pour out the milk for you. How much do you want?"

As the shopkeeper spoke, he pulled out a wooden barrel from under the counter, which actually had a simple lid on it.

As soon as the lid was opened, Bai Zhizhi smelled the fishy smell of milk and couldn't help but take two steps forward.

“Is this milk fresh?”

"It's fresh, freshly squeezed. If we can't sell it, we'll take it back and drink it ourselves. I didn't expect you to want it."

The shopkeeper took out a small spoonful and saw nothing to hold milk, so he poured it directly into the teacup. "Would you like to try it?"

Bai Zhizhi quickly waved her hand to refuse, and asked doubtfully, "You guys don't all drink like this, do you?"

The shopkeeper quickly waved his hand and said, "How can that be? Normally, we boil it and drink it. I just wanted to let you take a look first."

Bai Zhizhi knew that the shopkeeper was a real man, so she pointed directly at the bucket and said, "If possible, please sell this whole bucket to me."

"Ah? You want both?"

The shopkeeper was stunned. Afraid that Bai Zhizhi didn't understand, he quickly said, "It's better to drink this fresh. It can't be kept for too long. You should buy less."

"That's all I need. Calculate how much it costs including the flour and eggs."

Seeing that Bai Zhizhi was not lying, the shopkeeper nodded and started calculating on the abacus skillfully.

"This flour is all refined white flour, so it's more expensive, forty cents a pound. Eggs are three cents for two, and milk is cheaper than ordinary goat milk..."

As the shopkeeper spoke, he clattered the abacus, quickly calculated a number, and then handed the abacus forward.

"Look at this number, is it correct?"

Bai Zhizhi had already figured it out in her mind. Seeing that the result on the abacus was the same as what she had in her mind, she naturally nodded and took out some change from her purse very readily.

The shopkeeper weighed the silver and gave the change promptly.

Bai Zhizhi looked at the bucket of milk and suddenly remembered what they didn't put in it, so she pushed the change back and said, "Boss, please sell me this bucket as well."

The wooden barrel was not worth much money, so the shopkeeper had no reason to disagree.
