Niu Tieshan came to Zheng Xiang because he felt that he could not worry about his two children and would not go to the city alone, but he did not expect that the reality was completely different from what he thought.

From the look on Zheng Xiang's face, we knew that he would definitely choose to go to the city, and then his plan would most likely fail.

"Brother Tieshan, to tell you the truth, the food I brought has been eaten up a long time ago. I have been living on those yams for the past few days, and I don't go to the city to buy food.

The two children should be hungry. How can adults endure it? It costs twenty coins to go to the city. Who knows how much the price of food in the city has increased.

I wouldn’t be relieved if I didn’t go there in person. "

Zheng Xiang had already decided to go alone. As for Wei Zehan and Chen Yu, he had already made it clear. Now Niu Tieshan arrived just in time.

"By the way, Brother Tieshan, could you please help my sister-in-law keep an eye on my two children? Don't worry, they won't run around."

Niu Tieshan was shocked by Zheng Xiang's previous sentence. The price of food has increased. Yes, the price of entering the city has increased. Why can't the price of food increase? I just don't know how much it has increased. The world is simply killing people.

"Okay, why not? Dahua and Erhua don't know how much they care about your daughter."

Niu Tieshan immediately agreed to Zheng Xiang's offer to help look after the children. Previously, the Zheng family gave half of the money to his family. It would be unreasonable to say no at this time.

It's just that his face doesn't look very good. He was very heartbroken when he took out an extra ten cents for twenty cents.

Zheng Xiang took his two children and a donkey to the place where Niu Tieshan's family stayed, and prepared to enter the city.

"Master, what's your expression? Are the Zheng brothers disapproving?"

Wang Guihua was counting how many possessions she still had at home. When she saw Niu Tieshan bringing Zheng Xiang's family over with a frown, she thought it was Zheng Xiang who did not agree to her family's proposal.

"Brother Xiang said that he has nothing to eat anymore, so he doesn't worry about letting others buy it. He has to enter this city even if he is alone. By the way, you can help look after the two children. After all, you have a feeling of affection for me."

When Niu Tieshan said this, his brows still did not relax. Wang Guihua gave him a blank look.

"Am I, Wang Guihua, the one who is ignorant? I don't understand the big principles, and I can't understand even a small favor. Brother Zheng family, don't worry, I promise to take good care of your two children."

"Then please, sister-in-law."

Zheng Xiang smiled and waited for others who were about to enter the city. He did not expect that Niu Tieshan's wife was also an interesting person. If he heard correctly, that meant Du Zao.

Niu Tieshan came close to his wife and whispered

"Daughter-in-law, I heard what Brother Xiang said. Even if the city fee goes up, the price of food will probably increase as well. How much food can you buy with the little money at home?"

Wang Guihua was busy organizing her belongings. In this world, if food prices don't rise, there will be trouble. But how much the price rises depends on the conscience of those officials and merchants.

"If it goes up, it will go up. Even if the food goes up, you still have to buy it. We adults can eat it, but our children can't eat it. In this way, you can take half of the money at home and buy as much as you can."

Remember to buy old grains, whole grains, whatever you can eat. "

As Wang Guihua spoke, she handed the five pieces of silver into Niu Tieshan's hands. Niu Tieshan felt his heart bleed as he touched the five pieces of silver. This was money that the banker would need a year to save.

Wang Guihua thought for a while and gave [-] coins to Niu Tieshan.

"Remember, this is the cost of entering the city. Don't let the officials see the five pieces of silver and throw it away just because they don't want to see it."

After a while, people entering the city lined up under the leadership of Niu Tieshi, waiting to enter the city.

Chen Yu and Wei Zehan watched Zheng Xiang move slowly in the team. After he entered the city, they looked at each other and said to Wang Guihua

"Auntie, my brother and I want to go to that mountain to see if we can find some food. Even if we can't find anything to eat, we might as well find some grass for the donkeys."

Wang Guihua did not expect that the two siblings would make this request shortly after Zheng Xiang left. She promised the Zheng brothers to take good care of him.

Chen Yu noticed Wang Guihua's hesitation and pointed at the people in the team.

"Auntie, you see they are all walking up the mountain, probably looking for food. If they arrive late, others will get the food first.

If you are worried about letting Dahua and Erhua go together. "

"Yes, mom, don't worry. Erhua and I will definitely bring Xiaoyu and Xiaoze back safely. Besides, mom said she doesn't know how much food dad can buy. What if there's not enough food?

It's rare that this mountain is not green, maybe you can find something to eat. "

Niu Dahua's words made Wang Guihua, who was already hesitant, make up his mind.

"Okay, remember to come back early."

After hearing Wang Guihua's agreement, Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief and said sorry to the Niu sisters in his heart. They were not looking for food this time, they were looking for a place to hide.

After Zheng Xiang entered the city, he did not leave the team immediately. Instead, he followed the team to the grain store. As he expected, the usual fourteen cents per pound of new rice had become 24 cents, an increase of ten cents. One kilogram, this price directly made everyone in the team gasp.

"Why has it risen so much? It has almost doubled."

"Who says it's not the case? I don't know how many kilograms of food I can buy with the money I bring, hey."

The people in the team were all talking dejectedly. Niu Tieshi squeezed the money in his hand. He did not expect that the price of food would rise so fast.

But as the person in charge of the village, others can retreat, but he cannot.

"Shopkeeper, I don't know how to sell old rice. We don't need to buy new rice, just buy some old rice."

"Of course we have Chen rice, sixteen cents per catty."

Sixteen cents, this price still makes many people frown. It is two cents more expensive than the previous new rice, but the new rice costs 24 cents, how can they afford it.

Thinking of this, Niu Tieshi's spine, which was not very straight in the first place, became quite curved.

"Thank you, shopkeeper. Let's buy some old rice."
