My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin
Chapter 50: Space filled with food to sell to villagers
After paying the silver, Lin Qingming drove the donkey cart and left the horse market with his younger brother and sister.
After coming out of the horse market, the three siblings found an empty alley and went in. Thinking that it was still early, the three of them went into the space to work.
"Qingxue, you see, these rice grains are almost dried. Do we want to take them out now?" Lin Qingran touched the rice grains in his hand, took a grain and put it in his mouth to taste it. It was indeed ok.
"Since it's ok, take it out! Otherwise, we have to go into the city again tomorrow. You don't feel bad about giving half a tael of silver per person for the entrance fee?"
Lin Qingming said unhappily. He felt angry when he thought about the one and a half taels of money he had given as the entrance fee to the city.
"Let's go to the grocery store and buy some water jars and sacks first. We can come back to get them after we get out of the city. There's no rush now. Otherwise, how are we going to squeeze through the crowd with so many things?"
Lin Qingxue looked up and stared at Lin Qingming and Lin Qingran. Have these two forgotten how crazy those people outside the city are?
"Yeah, let's go shopping first!" Lin Qingming nodded and touched his head awkwardly, almost forgetting about the refugees outside the city.
Seeing that the two men didn't say anything more, Lin Qingxue pulled them out of the space, leaving Lin Qingran here to guard the donkey cart, while Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingming went to buy things.
"Qingxue, what should we buy? Do you still have any vegetable and grain seeds from your treasure?"
Lin Qingming walked beside Lin Qingxue with a basket on his back, carefully protecting her from being squeezed by others.
"Buy some vegetable seeds and grain seeds, and buy whatever else you like! Brother, let's go to the clinic first. I have two ginseng plants to sell," Lin Qingxue said in a low voice.
Fortunately, the three brothers and sisters had already figured out the terrain of Lingyun City and knew where the clinic was, so they could just go there directly.
After walking for almost half an hour, the brother and sister finally arrived at the clinic. Looking at the people coming and going in the clinic, the brother and sister walked through the crowd and came to the medicine counter.
"Brother Xiao Er, does your clinic accept ginseng?" Lin Qingxue asked the waiter in a low voice, then reached into the basket behind Lin Qingming, took out two ginseng roots wrapped in red cloth, and placed them on the counter.
"Madam, please wait a moment. I'll call the shopkeeper over to identify it." The waiter at the clinic only took a glance at the ginseng wrapped in red cloth and knew that it was a good thing. Naturally, he had to call the shopkeeper out.
Lin Qingxue nodded and placed both hands on the ginseng. After only five or six minutes, the waiter from the clinic came jogging towards them with a middle-aged man.
Seeing Lin Qingxue and his sister, the middle-aged man just nodded slightly and greeted them, then picked up the red envelope and carefully observed the ginseng inside.
"Madam, are you sure you want to sell these two ginsengs?" After looking at the ginsengs, the owner of the clinic looked at Lin Qingxue with a flattering smile on his face.
"As long as the money you offer is right, I will of course sell it," Lin Qingxue smiled, her tone gentle yet firm.
"My dear, these two ginseng plants are both quite old. One is fifty to sixty years old, and the other is about eighty years old. They look good too. How about this! I'll give you three thousand taels for these two plants. What do you think?"
The owner of the clinic looked at Lin Qingxue, then looked at the two ginsengs in his hand. He was really reluctant to let go, so he gritted his teeth and said.
"Okay," Lin Qingxue agreed because the price offered by the clinic owner was not low.
"My lady is so straightforward," the owner of the clinic smiled broadly upon hearing this. He quickly handed three thousand taels of silver to Lin Qingxue, took the silver and put it into the space, then pulled Lin Qingming out of the clinic.
After leaving the clinic, Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingming, brother and sister, went to the grocery store and bought ten water jars, one hundred sacks, six oilcloths, and thirty kilograms of salt.
"Qingxue, wait here for me. I'll ask the third brother to drive the donkey cart over and drag these things away," Lin Qingming wiped the sweat from his head and said in a low voice, looking at the things on the ground.
"Okay, brother, you go! I'll wait for you here," Lin Qingxue nodded. She was so tired that she felt like she was about to collapse.
Lin Qingming put the basket on the ground. It took him half an hour to bring Lin Qingran over. The two brothers worked together to lift the water tank, sack and oilcloth onto the donkey cart.
The brother and sister drove the donkey cart directly to the seed shop, bought ten kilograms of various vegetable seeds and a total of one thousand kilograms of grain seeds, and then went to the grain shop.
When they arrived at the grain shop, Lin Qingxue bought two hundred kilograms of white flour and one thousand kilograms of black flour, paid the silver, and Lin Qingming and Lin Qingran consciously carried the grain onto the donkey cart.
After coming out of the grain store, the three of them went straight to the street to buy some meat buns. The main reason was that they were extremely hungry and would faint from hunger if they didn't eat.
Lin Qingming and Lin Qingran ate six buns, and Lin Qingxue ate three. After they were full, the three siblings found a deserted place and entered the space.
In the space, Lin Qingxue looked at the rice ears on the oilcloth and the water tank and sack that had just been brought in, and whispered, "Let's pack these rice ears now. When we go out later, we have to cover them with oilcloth to prevent them from being snatched away."
"Okay, we got it." Thinking of the countless refugees outside the city, the two brothers dared not say anything and could only work hard.
There were one hundred sacks, Lin Qingming and Lin Qingran filled fifty of them, and Lin Qingxue was responsible for tying the openings of the sacks with hemp ropes. Each sack weighed about two to three hundred pounds. After the rice ears were removed, only the rice grains were left, which weighed about one hundred and fifty pounds.
After filling the sacks, the three siblings worked together to fill four water tanks with water and thirty kilograms of salt. Lin Qingxue planned to give twenty kilograms away and keep ten kilograms for herself.
"Brother, third brother, there is no meat. Do we need to go buy some?" Lin Qingxue wiped the sweat from her head breathlessly. The three meat buns she had eaten before working had been digested, and she was hungry again.
"Is there a pig in your treasure?" Lin Qingming was also breathing heavily, and he was exhausted.
"There are two domestic pigs weighing about 100 pounds," Lin Qingxue thought for a moment. She had bought a pair of piglets to raise before, and they probably haven't grown up yet, so she had to go out and buy some.
"Forget it then. Pork is so expensive, the villagers probably won't be willing to buy it. The chicken and duck eggs in your treasure are also meat. Just take out the eggs and sell them to the villagers."
Lin Qingming shook his head. Pork and grain are very expensive now. People probably won’t be willing to buy meat. With the money to buy meat, it’s better to buy more grain!
"Okay, then we won't buy meat," Lin Qingxue nodded. Although she didn't quite understand, she knew the pain of being penniless.
"Then let's go out first!" Lin Qingming looked at the packed food and water and felt that it was getting late and they should go out.
Lin Qingxue nodded without saying anything. She went out first to make sure that there was no one nearby, and then let Lin Qingming and Lin Qingran out.
