I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 293: Don’t panic when you have food in hand

“I want two stones of brown rice and one stone of multi-grain flour.”

Brown rice costs seven cents per liter, and multigrain noodles cost six cents per liter. It cost a full two guan to buy them. Baiyunxi was in terrible pain, but she risked her life in order to store food for the winter.

At this time, one stone cost one hundred and twenty-five kilograms, and more than three hundred and seventy kilograms of grain, plus what was stored at home, should be enough to survive the coldest winter.

Bai Anyan was surprised when he heard that my mother bought so much food in one mouthful. He knew that today he mainly bought food, but he didn't expect that my mother would buy so much at once?

However, before he could ask, his arm was patted by Mr. Li.

Ms. Li pulled him aside and glared at him.

"What do you want to do? We are here to help. Whatever mom wants to do, just listen and don't interrupt."

Bai Anyan's lips twitched, "Don't you think Mom bought too much food?"

“What’s so much? I just buy more at once and save the money. Besides, my mother always makes the right decision.”

Li Shi glared at him and said, "Stop chirping."

Hearing what his wife said, Bai Anyan was stunned for a moment. He watched the shopkeeper excitedly greet the waiter to weigh the grain, but he still felt very confused in his heart.

Even though it is not suitable to go out in winter, Sanshi still has a lot of food, and there are other foods stored at home.

Looking at Mr. Li's normal expression, Bai Anyan twitched the corner of his mouth. While the two of them were talking, the food had been weighed.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at Baiyunxi with a smile on his face.

"Sister-in-law Bai, please take a look. The scale is definitely high. Seeing how much you buy, I will give you two liters of black noodles. Don't worry, these are also new grains this autumn, and they taste good."

Bai Yunxi glanced at the polished rice next to her and suppressed her inner impulse several times. Given her family's current situation, eating polished rice was too wasteful.

Handing over the money, Bai Yunxi looked at the two liters of black noodles handed to Li by the waiter and expressed his gratitude softly.

Shopkeeper Wang asked the waiter to put the brown rice into sacks. When Bai Anyan saw it, he quickly ran to help, and the two of them carried it to the cart together.

Baiyunxi took the opportunity to inquire with the shopkeeper about the price of pine nuts.

Shopkeeper Wang listened to her inquiry and pointed to the dried fruit shop opposite.

"Sister-in-law Bai really asked the right person. Pine nuts are valuable and expensive, and most people are reluctant to eat them. The fried pine nuts in their store cost 100 cents per catty, and how much brown rice does it cost to buy 100 cents, but I can't bear to eat them anyway. "

Shopkeeper Wang laughed and said,

“Many of the melon seeds, nuts and other stuff in the dried fruit shop are harvested in the countryside. I’m not too sure about the rest of the prices. But I happened across pine nuts once, and the price was fifty cents per catty.”

“It seems that the Chinese New Year will be here in two months, so the price of pine nuts should be higher. I have to ask my sister-in-law in person for details.”

Following Shopkeeper Wang's guidance, Bai Yunxi took a look at the dried fruit shop opposite. It was quite busy going in and out.

"Thank you very much. I'll ask them later if they still want to take it."

 If the price is not ideal, she will have to go to the county town.

More than 200 kilograms of pine nuts at home, even a conservative estimate would cost more than ten guan.

After buying grain, Baiyunxi went to buy two kilograms of salt, and then asked the second son and his wife to push the cart back.

When passing by the pork shop, Bai Yunxi looked at the freshly picked bones on the counter, and bought a few more kilograms of pork bones to make soup.

All the way back home, Baiyunxi walked in the front door, and someone came to the back door.
