Because of the grain at home, most of it was lent to the Zhao family.
Xiuhua and Tiedan subconsciously made a much thinner breakfast the next day.
Ning Jing looked at them, smiled, patted their heads, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law will go to the county town to buy grain later."
After saying that, Ning Jing prepared to take the eggs that her family had saved up over this period of time to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell for money, and then use the money to buy grain.
"Sister-in-law, shall I go with you?"
Xiuhua couldn't help but say to Ning Jing.
Ning Jing thought for a moment, then shook her head.
“It’s snowing outside now, and the roads are slippery and difficult to walk on. Sister-in-law, you’ll be right back.”
Although the family managed to get some cotton to make clothes, Fu Hongxing only managed to get a small amount of cotton, and she could only secretly mix in a limited amount.
A mattress, a quilt, and a cotton-padded coat; there were definitely no cotton-padded shoes, only thin cloth shoes.
On a snowy day like this, if you go outside wearing these clothes, you'll get soaked very quickly.
Therefore, Ning Jing has kept her children at home during this period.
Although Xiuhua was somewhat disappointed when her sister-in-law said that, she still nodded in agreement.
I've accumulated several hundred eggs over this period, after accounting for the ones I eat every day.
Ning Jing used a basket, lined the bottom with straw, put all the eggs in, and then covered them with straw.
Only then did he stumble and tread towards the county town.
Fu Hongxing went to work early in the morning; otherwise, he would definitely have done this job.
However, if Fu Hongxing were to sell eggs to buy grain, he would definitely buy coarse grains.
After all, whole grains are filling and inexpensive.
Ning Jing had thought it through. After selling the eggs, she would buy some coarse grains and rice, and then take the wheat she bought from the mall to the mill to grind some flour.
When the snow falls even heavier, we can make dough balls with flour and add some dried vegetables to eat. It's convenient and delicious.
The rice was then processed into rice flour at home for the twins to eat.
Ideally, you could also buy some bones to make bone broth for the children to supplement their calcium intake.
However, Ning Jing's plan was quite good.
After she sold the eggs, she used the money to buy grain.
There's hardly any rice, let alone coarse grains.
The line of people was incredibly long. Ning Jing waited in line for a long time, but it still wasn't her turn. With a huge crowd ahead of her, the grain vendor put up a sign that said "Sold Out Today."
Upon seeing this sign, those who had not bought any grain immediately let out a wail of despair, and complaints arose everywhere.
Ning Jing was a little confused, so she turned to a dejected middle-aged woman and whispered, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
The middle-aged woman replied impatiently, "You come to queue every day, but you still can't buy any food. Don't you know that?"
"Can't buy food?"
Ning Jing was startled by these words and looked around.
Many people looked listless, and some were so thin they looked unrecognizable.
Subconsciously, her original idea of going to the mill to grind flour also vanished completely.
People can't even afford coarse grains; if she were to go to the mill to grind flour, she might be targeted.
But the wheat I bought in the mall is unhulled. How am I supposed to eat it?
(The host can spend gold coins to buy a processing machine.)
Fu Qiang suddenly spoke in Ning Jing's mind with a sly smile.
Ning Jing paused for a moment after hearing this.
"Don't you want to save up gold coins to level up?"
Fuqiang was puzzled when he heard this.
(Of course I want to! The host can upgrade and buy processing machines at the same time!)
Hearing Fuqiang's matter-of-fact and self-righteous answer, Ning Jing fell silent again.
