For example, there are fewer bed curtains around the bunk bed, there are no green plants in the room, and there are no dressing tables, jewelry boxes, wardrobes, etc.

Speaking of wardrobes, all those tattered, patched and mended clothes in Su Yin's bag were no longer worth keeping.

Now, apart from the relatively decent set of clothes she was wearing, she was left with only one set of washable, unmended clothes.

The bedding they had brought with them was good, but there was only one bed, which was totally insufficient.

It is still autumn now and the weather is not the coldest yet. When winter comes, the entire Shangjing City will be covered with snow.

I was thinking about the things I needed to buy, and when I counted them up, I realized I had to buy quite a few things.

Su Yin found her mother to discuss purchasing items.

"Yinyin, what do you need over there?"

"We are short of everything. The most important things are bedding and other things."

Mother Su nodded, "We only brought one quilt. It was hot on the road before, so we didn't need a quilt. Now that the weather is getting cooler, we don't have enough quilts at home, so we have to hurry and buy more."

"Mom, in addition to buying some bedding, we also need to buy some thick winter clothes. It will be very cold in the winter in the capital."

Clothes, bedding, bed curtains, wardrobe, firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc. were all purchased one by one.

"Let's go buy some bedding before the store closes. We need someone to prepare a place to sleep tonight."

"Mom, my aunt and I will go buy it, you just stay at home."

Su's mother disagreed, "How can that be possible? You two little girls don't know how to spend money prudently."

Su Baozhu blinked at Su Yin with an expression that said, 'You'll see, it won't work.'

Finally, Su Xiaozhong drove the three of them to the cloth shop, picked out some ready-made bedding, and bought some cloth to make their own clothes. In Su's mother's words, it was both cost-effective and more fitted.

The fabrics we choose to buy are cotton and ramie.

The best silk cotton cloth is used for inner clothes, the inferior one is used for bedding and the like. As for the fabrics for clothes, there are two types: cotton and linen and ramie. The former is comfortable to wear, while the latter is durable and breathable.

As for brocade and other things, Su's mother would definitely not buy them. In her words, mountains of gold and silver could not afford such expenses.

After all, they had just arrived in Shangjing City, had no means of making a living, and had daily expenses.

Su Xiaozhong didn't care, and neither did Su Yin. As for Su Baozhu, she completely agreed with her sister-in-law's decision and felt that what she said was absolutely right.

After arriving at the grocery store, Su Yin asked about cotton and learned that the owner had some, so she asked her mother to buy some more. It was necessary to have a thick cotton quilt in winter.

"Mom, buy some more cotton. One for you, one for me and one for my aunt. If my younger brothers find it, they will definitely want some too."

After hearing what Su Yin said, he finally asked the store for 70 kilograms of cotton. After paying the deposit, he asked the store to deliver it directly to his home and then paid the remaining money.

Next to the grocery store is the rice shop. The price of food in the capital is very expensive.

A dou of ordinary millet costs 400 wen, which is quite a high price.

The most expensive rice is as high as 550 wen per dou.

Such high grain prices are also affected by Yunzhou and other places. If the news of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River spreads here, I am afraid the impact will be even greater.

Su Xiaozhong and Su Yin were aware of this. According to calculations, floods had already begun in the Jiangnan area.

The damage to grain in Jiangnan will inevitably affect the grain prices in the capital.

"Husband, how much should I buy?" Su's mother was a little undecided when she saw the price was so high.

Su Xiaozhong said to the waiter, "Two dan of rice, ten dou of millet and sorghum each, and five dou of flour."

When Su's mother heard this number, her eyes widened in surprise.

Su Baozhu on the side swallowed silently.

Ordinary people would buy one or two dou at a time, and then come back to buy more after they had finished eating.

Those who buy so much at once are all wealthy families. There are many people in their family, so naturally they have to buy more.

While the two were still shocked by the number, Su Yin said directly, "Dad, isn't it too little? Add ten dou of rice and five dou of flour."

Su Yin was not used to eating millet and sorghum, and she still preferred to eat rice.

In the past, rice was expensive and we didn’t have money to buy it.

It’s different now. She has money in her pocket, and her father has money in his pocket too, so they can naturally afford to eat rice.

The waiter smiled even more when he heard this. Seeing Su's mother's disapproving expression, he immediately chimed in, "The price of grain is cheap now, but it may go up in a few days. It's worthwhile to buy more."

Su Xiaozhong said to his wife, "I think what this guy said makes sense. Let's just follow the number my daughter said."

Now that the head of the family had spoken, Su's mother no longer objected.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

The quantity was decided and Su Xiaozhong paid the money.

Su Xiaozhong directly gave the shopkeeper a fifty-liang silver note. The shopkeeper was about to change the silver, but he said, "Don't change it. Use the remaining ten liang to buy rice."

Knowing that his daughter likes to eat rice, the father naturally wants to satisfy her.

The extra 13 taels and 200 coins of silver could probably increase the amount of grain by more than one dan.

"Sir, where should I send you to?"

"Bluestone Lane, the third room."

"Okay, I'll send it to you later."

After leaving the grain shop, go directly to the oil shop diagonally opposite.

In the Dayong Dynasty, there were many varieties of oil. In addition to animal oils, there were also many plant oils, such as sesame oil, soybean oil, tea oil, rapeseed oil, etc.

Oil was very expensive in the Yong Dynasty, especially vegetable oil. The production was low and the demand was high. Only the powerful and wealthy businessmen could afford it. Ordinary people might not be able to eat it all year round. It is no exaggeration to say that some poor people might not even eat these vegetable oils until they died.

Su's mother was already shocked enough in the grain shop just now, but she didn't expect that the father and daughter would not be so careless when they arrived at the oil shop. They directly filled a pot with all kinds of oil in the shop.

Su's mother and Su Baozhu watched the silver flowing out like water, and they felt very distressed.

But the father and daughter didn't feel anything at all, and there was a sense of resentment that if you were not here, we would buy more.

"You two..."

Just as Su's mother started talking, she heard the father and daughter speaking at the same time.

"Dad, take it easy and don't buy it."

"Girl, take it easy and don't buy it."

Su's mother and Su Baozhu: "..."

The two men were completely speechless about those two guys.

On the way back, Su Xiaozhong said, "They all listen to you. Tell your uncles tomorrow to store more food. The news of the flood in Jiangnan will probably reach Shangjing in the next few days. By then, the price of food will rise steadily."

Seeing this opportunity, these businessmen will inevitably hoard food and drive up food prices in order to maximize their profits.

"I will go and inform them tomorrow morning."

I've been busy all day today, moving, buying things, and tidying up the house. I'm so tired, even more tired than if I'd been walking all day.
