Chapter 40: Grain Storage in the County (2/2)



Is it true that all wealthy people nowadays like to dress in rags to tease people like me?

The guy was wondering while quickly finding three sets of books.

After buying the books, Qian Chunhua also bought some pens, ink, paper and inkstone. The pens, ink, paper and inkstone were all of ordinary quality, and the price was cheap.

Anyway, the three of us are beginners, so we won’t feel bad if we waste it by buying cheap ones.

The total cost was ten taels and thirteen coins. The clerk was very enthusiastic and ran to ask the shopkeeper to cancel the change.

After paying the money, Qian Chunhua walked out of the bookstore carrying the books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone.

After turning the corner, Qian Chunhua put the books, writing brushes, paper and inkstone into the backpack, and then, using the backpack as a cover, threw them directly into the space.

Qian Chunhua came to the grocery store again, ready to buy fifty sacks for food. The rice and flour in his own space were all packaged in the past era, which was no longer in line with this era.

Each sack cost ten coins, and the total cost was five hundred coins. When Qian Chunhua took out the money, his heart ached. Fortunately, these sacks could be recycled.

All that needed to be bought had been bought, and all that was not bought was kept in the space. Qian Chunhua left the county town carrying the sack.

Fortunately, Qian Chunhua did not meet any villagers from Huanglingling along the way. He didn't know whether they ignored what Village Chief Wang said or they missed him.

But this is just right, Qian Chunhua doesn't want them to see her.

When they were almost at the entrance of Huangling Village, Qian Chunhua hid in the grove by the roadside again and took out the wheelbarrow from the space box.

She poured more rice into the sack. A sack could hold just 100 kilograms of rice. Qian Chunhua stopped at 200 kilograms of rice. She planned to leave the rice for her mother and younger brother.

Then pour in 200 kilograms of flour. A total of 400 kilograms of grain, enough for four large sacks.

He cut a piece of pork ribs from the space, which weighed about five pounds. Qian Chunhua pushed the wheelbarrow with difficulty and returned to the official road from the grove.

Pushing more than 400 kilograms of grain, Qian Chunhua walked with difficulty, no longer as relaxed as before.

Fortunately, Qian Chunhua had space, he thought, otherwise he would be exhausted to death if he had to push all this food back home from the county town by himself.

When we arrived at the village entrance, Qian's mother was craning her neck to look in the direction we came from.

The moment she saw Qian Chunhua, she immediately trotted over to Qian Chunhua.

"Why did you buy so much?" Qian's mother took the wheelbarrow and insisted on pushing it herself.

Qian Chunhua had no choice but to hold the wheelbarrow on the side and put in some strength. It was much easier for the mother and daughter to push it together than for him alone.

Qian Chunhua answered Qian's mother's question breathlessly, "Mom, the grain store in the county has already limited the purchase of grain. I think this is a rare opportunity, so I bought as much as I could."

Qian's mother nodded. Her daughter's family had just separated from her relatives and there was no food at home.

There is only about 400 kilograms of food. If the mother and her two children eat frugally and get some help from their own family, it will be enough to last them a year.

Qian Chunhua helped Qian's mother push the grain towards Qian's house.

Passing under the old locust tree, Cuihong, who was gossiping, saw the grain on the wheelbarrow and her eyes turned red. Qian Chunhua, the spendthrift woman, was stealing money again.

Qian Chunhua ignored the group of people around Cuihong. Those who were able to get along so well with Cuihong did not believe what Village Chief Wang said. Now they were all laughing at Qian Chunhua and the other cowards who hoarded grain.
