The shopkeeper looked at the big customer, smiled so hard that his teeth couldn't see his eyes, and followed Yan Shu step by step to wait on him.

"What else do you want, girl?"

Yan Shu's eyes fell on a crescent-white t-shirt hanging on the wall. Jiang Ci had a dignified and dignified temperament, and the white color matched him very well.

"How do you sell that dress?"

"Girl, you have good taste. This is a very popular style recently. The material is made of high-quality fine cotton. You have bought so much cloth from us. This dress is a little cheaper for you. How about one or two dollars?"

One or two cents?

"Shopkeeper, you can buy two pieces of cotton for this piece of clothing."

"Hey, the material of these clothes is different. The fine cotton is naturally more expensive, but it is much more comfortable to wear than linen."

"Give me the lowest price."

The shopkeeper pondered for a moment.

"The minimum is one tael of silver. This depends on the face of the fact that you have bought so much cloth. If you buy just this piece of clothing, the minimum price cannot be less than one tael of silver."

Yan Shu nodded: "Wrap it up."

The shopkeeper calculated it and found that six pieces of cloth and one piece of clothing cost a total of eighty-two-six yuan.

After Yan Shu paid the money, he asked the shopkeeper to send someone to Xianfengju.

She went to the largest distillery in town.

There were not many people in the brewery at this time, so Yan Shu walked straight in.

"What do you want to buy, girl?" The waiter in the shop came forward and asked enthusiastically.

"I want to buy some fine salt, what's the price?"

"Two hundred coins per catty of fine salt. Each person can only buy ten catties of salt within a year. How much do you want?"

"So expensive?" Yan Shu was really surprised.

At present, food prices are skyrocketing. A pound of rice only costs 22 Wen, and a pound of salt costs [-] Wen. How can ordinary people afford it?

"Young lady, you don't know. The situation is not good right now. The price of everything has increased dramatically. If you don't buy it now, if you come back in two days, the price will rise to [-] Wen per pound."

Yan Shu felt that what Xiao Er said was reasonable. When the Rong Di Army came over, daily necessities such as food and salt would become the most precious items at the moment.

"Weigh me ten pounds."

In ancient times, salt was strictly controlled by the imperial court. In order to prevent the sale of illegal salt, the amount of salt consumed by each person in a year could not exceed ten kilograms at most.

It seems that Jiang Ci and her mother's family will have to take turns buying salt in the next few days.

-

It was almost evening when Yan Shu hurried back to his residence.

Jiang Ci and Qi Tianyi have been waiting in the lobby.

"Miss Yan, thank you for your hard work. Come sit down and have a cup of tea." Qi Tianyi got up first and poured a cup of tea for Yan Shu.

"Thank you, Brother Qi. The food you asked for has been bought. We will go there together later."

Qi Tianyi thanked him gratefully again.

"Miss Yan has helped me a lot this time. If the girl needs any help from me in the future, I, Qi Tianyi, will do my best to help the girl."

Yan Shu was very satisfied, this was what she wanted.

Pulling Qi Tianyi into her camp was tantamount to breaking the right and left arms of the hero and heroine, and of course she was happy to see it happen.

"Brother Qi, you're welcome. It's fate that we met each other."

Qi Tianyi's cheeks were slightly red, and he lowered his head shyly and said "hmm".

Yesterday, among so many people, she chose to talk to him. Today, when he was bullied by Lai Xiaoliu, she was the only one willing to help him.

He will definitely cherish this hard-won fate.

Jiang Ci said in a deep voice: "Sister-in-law, it's getting late. After we get the food, we have to send Brother Qi back to Beihai Village first."

Yan Shu nodded: "Okay, let's leave now."

Yan Shu put all the salt, cloth, and spices he bought on the oxcart. Jiang Ci drove the cart, and she and Qi Tianyi sat on the cart.

Arriving at the back door of Daoxiang Grain Shop, Yan Shu jumped off the bullock cart and knocked on the door.

After a while, a boy ran to open the door.

After seeing Yan Shu, the young man invited him in enthusiastically.

Jiang Ci and Qi Tianyi followed behind.

Butler Fang noticed Qi Tianyi at a glance.

"Miss Yan, how do you know this guy?"

"He is my friend. Don't worry, shopkeeper. I bought the food from you and it has nothing to do with Brother Qi."

Shopkeeper Fang sighed.

"It's okay for Miss Yan to make the decision. I just pretend to know nothing."

Yan Shu thanked him, and shopkeeper Fang asked the boys in the store to help carry the food.

After loading all the grain into the cart, the cart was already full.

Qi Tianyi said: "Miss Yan, my cart is parked at the nearby City God's Temple. I'll ask you and Mr. Jiang to send me there later, and I'll just go back with the food myself."

"It's getting dark. It's not safe for you to bring so much food home by yourself. Beihai Village is not far from our sake village. I'll take you to pull the cart first, and we'll keep you company back."

Jiang Ci glanced at Yan Shu silently.

She is so considerate and considerate of others.

The three of them came all the way to the dilapidated City God's Temple that Qi Tianyi mentioned.

Qi Tianyi walked to the back of the hall, cleared away a pile of weeds, and pushed the cart out of the weeds.

"Miss Yan, you sit in my car and I push you."

Before Yan Shu could speak, an unhappy voice sounded from behind him.

"No need, sister-in-law, please sit here with me."

Yan Shu originally wanted to refuse. After all, people were pulling the cart, and she always felt that it would add a burden to Qi Tianyi.

"Brother Qi, there is still room next to my uncle. You can just pull the car and follow us."

Qi Tianyi glanced at Jiang Ci and smiled at Yan Shu.

"it is good."

Yan Shu walked to the oxcart and Jiang Ci stretched out a hand and handed it to her.

Yan Shu didn't hesitate, held his hand and used his strength to sit in front of the carriage.

"The road is unstable, sister-in-law, move closer."

Yan Shu glanced between herself and Jiang Ci. There was only half a foot away. If she moved closer, the two of them would be right next to each other.

While she was hesitating, Lao Niu suddenly moved and the carriage bumped.

"what!"

Yan Shu exclaimed and fell down.

Jiang Ci quickly wrapped his arms around her slim waist and pulled her back hard.

She instinctively grabbed Jiang Ci's sleeves, patted her racing heart, and automatically moved to Jiang Ci's side.

"It was so dangerous, I almost fell."

Jiang Ci raised the corners of his lips slightly: "The road ahead is even more difficult, sister-in-law, please hold on tight to me."

Life was still at stake, Yan Shu nodded honestly.

It got dark quickly and there were no pedestrians on the road.

After walking along the path for about half an hour, we finally arrived at Beihai Village.

Qi Tianyi moved very quickly and followed closely behind them.

"Mr. Jiang, my house is just ahead."

Qi Tianyi pointed to a dilapidated farmyard in front of him.

A dark figure stood vaguely at the door of the small courtyard. Seeing them approaching, the dark figure walked over quickly.

"Is it the third child?"

"Mom, it's me!" Qi Tianyi pulled the cart and ran quickly towards the old woman.
