Everyone had a full meal, and the uncle couldn't help but praise Li Yan: "I didn't expect our Erya's cooking is so delicious, she can be a chef!"

Wu scolded, "You're always messing around all day long."

Then he said to Mr. Li, "We've finished drying all the grain in our village. I heard the village chief wants to take us to the town to sell the grain tomorrow."

Mr. Li took a puff of his pipe and said, "Our village has had a good harvest this year. I hope we can sell this grain for a good price!"

Nothing happened that night, and the next morning everyone in the Li family got up early.

The sound of gongs outside the door urged everyone to gather at the village chief's place.

Li Dalang and Li Erlang pushed the cart out first and went to the village center to gather.

Arya was waiting at the door for them to pass by her house, and she was also ready to follow them to town.

He watched as rows of carts carrying grain passed by his house, winding their way to the horizon. After about a cup of tea, he finally saw Li Erlang and his companion at the end of the team.

Li Yan picked up the small shoulder bag her mother had sewn for her and was about to jog after them.

The little cousin grabbed her from behind, crying and wailing that he also wanted to go to town. Perhaps because he heard about the mayor's trip last night, the little guy had been paying attention to his cousin's movements, and at this time Li Yan was caught red-handed.

When Mrs. Wu heard the noise, she immediately stepped forward and gently patted the little guy's butt: "Your father and the others are doing their business, and you're just fooling around. Be careful that you get kidnapped by the beggars!"

The little cousin kicked his legs and said, "Second sister is going too! I want to go too!"

Li Yan said helplessly: "Maomao, be obedient, sister will bring you some meat buns to eat."

The little guy stopped crying when he heard that there was food, and raised his little face full of golden beans: "Sister, don't forget!" Li Yan hurriedly agreed.

Wu said angrily, "He's spoiled!" But there was no trace of blame in her tone.

I jogged to catch up with the team. The road was very lively. From time to time, I could see teams of people selling grain, some carrying or pushing grain, just like them. Everyone was heading to the town.

When we arrived at the city gate, the line was already very long.

The vehicles loaded with food were coming in a huge procession, which looked very spectacular. After waiting for about half an hour, the three of them finally entered the city smoothly.

The inner city was also quite crowded today, with pedestrians jostling each other and the constant shouting of street vendors, all demonstrating the city's vitality. The three of them followed the grain transport vehicle to the grain store.

After waiting for a long time, the line didn't move. Li Yan saw a bun stall nearby and walked over to it, ordering six meat buns. While the owner was packing up, she asked, "Boss, what's going on up there? Why hasn't anyone moved for so long?"

The boss deftly lifted the steamer and took out the buns while saying to Li Yan, "Isn't it Zhao Qing's grain shop in the front that's collecting grain? There aren't many people there!"

After packing it, he handed it to Li Yan and whispered, "It seems there's a commotion up ahead! The bailiffs just rushed over, and the price charged by this grain shop is too high! Based on the current price, how many people will starve to death in the winter!" After saying that, he shook his head and sighed.

Li Yan took the buns, thanked him, and returned to Li Dalang. "Uncle, I just heard that the price of grain is very low this year. We should not sell it. The money we have at home should be enough to pay the tax."

Then he handed over the oil paper bag: "I just bought a few buns. We have been walking for a long time, so we need some food to eat."

When Li Dalang heard that the grain price was being suppressed, he was anxious and had no appetite for buns. He waved his hand and said, "Second brother, what should we do?"

Li Erlang comforted his elder brother: "Don't worry, elder brother. I will go to the front and take a look first."
