Chapter 27 Shopping Spree

After that, there was the grain and oil store, the snack shop… We swept through until my brother and I had nothing left to eat.

Take my brother for example. Now he only had one little finger free, so I hurried to the fabric store, got the cloth bag, hung it on his little finger, and then went back to the inn.

As for Sister Xue Yu, although she followed her during the shopping process, she did not pay attention to her. After all, she was very busy and there was a time limit for shopping. However, she still suggested buying a pot for the sake of Mr. Xue's face.

After returning to the inn, he immediately delivered the things to the side room, and then went to find Zhangtou with a roasted chicken and a pot of wine.

"Zhang, this roast chicken and wine are a gift to you. Please accept them. Thank you for giving my family this opportunity to go out shopping. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and returned in time."

"You are quite clever. I will give your family a quota for this purchase."

"Thank you, Zhang Tou! Thank you, Zhang Tou!"

After Su Nuoli turned and left, Monkey stepped forward and asked, "Zhangtou, why did you agree to let her go once? Why didn't you use your power a little more?"

"Monkey, although you are older than that little girl, you are not as smart as her. Don't worry, smart people will naturally give you benefits without you having to manipulate them, and they will give you more than you would if you manipulated them. You won't understand if I say too much. Have some wine."

At this time, 13 people gathered in the small room, wearing new cotton-padded clothes, carrying cloth bags and food on their backs.

"Grandpa, you can also carry one. I'll put some snacks and candies in it for you to eat anytime. If you're hungry, you can just eat it."

After resting for a long time, we were woken up at 3 p.m. the next day to set off again. The journey afterwards was quite comfortable. Because there is no shortage of food and clothes.

A month passed like this. During this month, Su Nuoli felt that Xue Yu was becoming more and more strange, and sometimes he would look at Su Nuoli with a very intriguing look.

But Su Nuoli didn't care about her. She could do whatever she wanted. If she dared to come to her and seek death and destroy her peaceful life, she would kill her.

I will arrive in the provincial capital tomorrow. I must ask about the prices. Whether there is a war or not is fully reflected in the prices!

Unexpectedly, when our group wanted to enter the city the next day, they were not even allowed in. They were said to be fugitives, and were only allowed to send five people to the post station in the city to get their stamps, but they were also not allowed to stay in the city for more than an hour.

What else can I say? Even though I didn't go in, I have a general understanding of how things work. Otherwise, why would the city gates be closed? I have to go in and find out the situation myself.

He gave Zhangtou two taels of silver in exchange for the opportunity to enter. After entering, I made an appointment with Zhangtou to meet at the city gate half an hour later.

He ran to the grain store and asked, "Waiter, what's the price of rice today?"

"One liter of refined rice is 30 wen." The waiter replied indifferently. There are many people asking about the price these days, but few are buying.

Su Nuoli had already found out the measurement units here. One dou is equal to 12 grams of rice in today's money, and one dou is equal to one shi; one shi is about 120 grams.

So I told the waiter directly: "I want one stone of fine rice. The price of rice has increased and I'm afraid it will continue to increase. If I don't buy more, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it later and my family will starve to death."

The waiter stood up and said, "You are smart. It's right to buy rice. The price of rice has been rising every few days. I guess we won't be able to afford food in the future."

Su Nuoli suppressed the thoughts that were bursting out in his mind and said, "Little Second Brother, you know so much, even better than me. I wonder if you know why the price of rice has risen. I think the country is peaceful and the people are safe now, so there is nothing to worry about!"

The waiter enjoyed Su Nuoli's flattery so much that he couldn't keep his mouth shut and told everyone he had heard. Su Nuoli broke out in cold sweat after hearing this!
