If you have any doubts, you can ask them after everyone has eaten and drunk their fill!
Huang Dani, who had followed along and was outside the door preparing to help unload things, rushed into the yard upon hearing this.
"Little Fish, Second Sister-in-law, go do it. You talk to Brother Chen Kai."
After saying that, she turned to Shen Kai and said, "Brother Shen Kai, with so many people, if you want to eat noodles, you might have to wait."
How about this, I'll just make you noodle dumplings?
"We have vegetables and eggs at home, so making noodles will be quicker."
Shen Kai didn't care what he ate, as long as it was hot and filling.
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Second Sister-in-law!"
Seeing that he agreed, Huang Dani hurriedly went into the kitchen.
Chi Yu then addressed her elder brother and sister-in-law, as well as her nephew, who were walking out of the main house behind her:
"Sister-in-law, please help me carry Zhuangzhuang. Brother, you and Akang, come with me out and unload the things from the carriage."
After saying that, she asked Shen Kai, "Kai, did Amu send over a list of items this time?"
Shen Kai nodded and took out a register that looked just like an account book from his pocket.
"Brother Mu wrote down everything clearly, including what it was, how much there was, the price at the time of purchase, and the price in the county town."
Chi Yu reached out and took it, then casually flipped through it before putting it back in the room. She then went out with Chi Dahu and the others to unload the things.
She noticed that there was significantly more stuff being delivered this time than during the Lunar New Year.
Of course, the main surplus was in grain.
It can be said that grain accounted for half of the ten carts.
Secondly, various packaged medicinal herbs filled the entire cart.
The medicinal herbs were neatly sorted into baskets according to their type.
For example, one basket for preventing and treating colds, one basket for treating sprains and bruises, and half a basket for calming the nerves and relieving fright.
There are also other remedies, such as those for treating dysentery, headaches, and heatstroke.
They are all common illnesses.
Aside from these, the remaining four carts contained oil, salt, wine, vinegar, and various types of kudzu and hemp cloth that could be used in spring, summer, and autumn.
It contained a few bolts of brightly colored fine cotton.
Chi Yu knew at a glance that those were for her.
Of course, pastries, needles and thread are still available.
After everyone had unloaded everything, Huang Dani's voice called for dinner came from the kitchen.
Chi Yu asked her older brother and Chi Kang to accompany Shen Kai and the others to eat, while she took out the roster and began to check the quantities.
After checking it once, he lowered his voice and said to Chi Qiao beside him, "Sister, the price of these grains has gone up."
Although it's not much, coarse noodles and brown rice used to cost about three to five coins per pound, but now they're all the same price, eight coins.
As for wheat flour and rice, needless to say, they cost twenty coins per pound.
I wonder if the villagers will be willing to pay this price.
After all, they probably don't have much money left.
"There's nothing I'm unwilling to do! This price is really not much; it's all at cost price, we won't make a single penny off them."
Based on the novels we read—no, let's not even talk about novels anymore.
In modern times, even with fathers having macro-level control, with continuous natural disasters like we are now, it's already a blessing if you can afford to buy anything.
Do you remember back in the day, a head of cabbage that used to cost 1.8 yuan per kilogram could sell for tens of yuan?
Compared to that, a few coins' increase per pound is really insignificant.
Little Fish, you should know that these were all transported from outside, and not even from the surrounding cities.
At times like these, transportation costs can be quite high.
Even if businesses don't make money from doing charity, they still need to factor in transportation costs to avoid losing money themselves.
