A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

After finishing the land deed, we just arrived at Sishizheng.

Chen Changsheng briefly told how he met Bai Xiao, and then said lightly, "Uncle Li Zheng, it's still early, I'm going to buy some things."

She suddenly remembered something and took out twenty copper coins from her sleeve, "This is for you, uncle."

"What are you doing?" Monk Li Zhengzhang was confused.

"I just saw you at the gate of the county government office, giving the poor brother more than ten yuan. This is for you. You helped me get the land deed. You must not let me put in the money yourself." Chen Changsheng observed. careful.

Li Zheng refused and explained, "No, the ten cents came from your land purchase money, not my old man's personal payment."

"No matter what, Uncle Li Zheng, you have done me such a big favor today, you must accept the money."

Seeing Chen Changsheng's firm tone, Li Zheng smiled and accepted the money, "Okay, old man, I haven't been to the city for a long time. I want to buy some food for my mother-in-law and grandson at home, so that the family can be happy as well. Then let's go our separate ways. Let’s go, meet at the city gate later.”

Chen Changsheng arrived at the grain store he often went to. The shopkeeper was lying on the counter and didn't know what he was writing. A young boy came up to meet her. Seeing that she was not too shabby, he smiled and asked, "Our store has rice, noodles, grains, oils, beans, etc." We have them all, there are many varieties, what do you want to buy, sister-in-law?"

Chen Changsheng only smiled and did not say anything.

She walked around the shop and found that white rice still costs twelve cents per catty, white flour costs fifteen cents per catty, brown rice costs seven cents per catty, and rough flour costs ten cents per catty. The prices have not changed yet.

The clerk saw the woman in front of him shopping around but not buying anything, and especially looked at the price board. He thought the woman thought the price was too high, so he couldn't help but kindly reminded her, "Sister-in-law, if you want to buy food, you can take advantage of today." Buy it early.”

"Why is this?" Chen Changsheng was puzzled.

The young man looked back at the shopkeeper who was lying on the counter, and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, I only tell you because of your kindness, the prices of these things in our shop will increase tomorrow. "

He pointed at his shopkeeper and continued, "My shopkeeper is rewriting the price board right now. After tomorrow night, all the food will have increased by more than three cents."

Three pennies, a lot.

Chen Changsheng smiled gratefully, "Thank you for your kind reminder, little brother. But it's not a disaster now. Why did the price of rice and noodles suddenly rise, and why did it rise so much?"

The little guy looked enigmatic and couldn't help but share his fresh melons with others.

"I heard that there was a locust plague in the north, and a large area of ​​farmland was damaged. It is estimated that grain production will drop sharply this year. The grain harvested by our boss is not only small, but also expensive, so when it comes to our southern land, the selling price will naturally increase. ”

Chen Changsheng had a look of surprise on his face, "Locust plague in the north? I didn't even listen to the official notification about such a big thing. Brother, please don't open your mouth and talk nonsense!"

Seeing that the other party did not believe what he said, the young man was a little annoyed, "Why am I talking nonsense? Our boss also knows a lot of people in the north, so he will naturally get the information faster than the government."

It seems that what Erlu said is true, and there is really a locust plague in the north.

"Brother, don't be angry. As a woman, I was naturally frightened when I heard about the locust plague, so I couldn't help but say a few words. I didn't want to go to your employer's connections." Chen Changsheng said with a smile, "Brother, please help me. Take fifty kilograms each of white rice, white flour, brown rice, and brown flour, and two hundred kilograms of soybeans."

Just for the amount of tofu nao, my family will consume twenty kilograms of soybeans every day. Two hundred kilograms will only be enough for ten days, and some rice and noodles will be sent to the old house. Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng suddenly felt that even this little bit was not enough.

The boy's eyes widened when he heard that Chen Changsheng had bought so much, "Sister-in-law, do you want to buy so much grain? Can you carry it alone?"

He glanced towards the door. There was only his own delivery carriage parked outside the shop. No other vehicles were seen. How could he transport hundreds of kilograms of grain back?

"Why are you so blind? Go and prepare what this lady wants now." The shopkeeper's voice came over.

The owner explained that the price of grain had increased by three cents each. He was busy writing the price board. As soon as he finished writing, he heard the quantity that the female customer in the shop wanted to buy, but his waiter looked naive.

The shopkeeper complained in his heart: [I have only heard of people who are worried about customers buying too little, but I have never heard of people who are worried about customers buying too much. What happened to my guy today? I must give him a good lesson later. 】

He put down his pen, moved his fat body out of the counter sideways, and said to Chen Changsheng with a smile, "This store can provide door-to-door delivery service. The quantity purchased by my wife has reached the standard of our store's free delivery. If it is convenient, If so, madam, you can leave your address and I will ask the guy to deliver the things to your house later."

The woman in front of me was not dressed luxuriously, but she was not shabby either. She had bought so many things at once, so she might be a mother-in-law or a shopping lady from some house.

Delivery?

Wow!

Since it can be delivered to your door, why not just buy more. With four children at home, and they are all growing up, a lot of food needs to be consumed in one meal.

"That's great. I want to buy more. Shopkeeper, I just ordered fifty kilograms each of white rice, white flour, brown rice, and brown flour. If you want more soybeans, let's get four hundred kilograms."

Afraid that the grain store would be substandard, Chen Changsheng specifically told me, "You must give me the new rice and fresh soybeans harvested this year. I don't want the old rice or soybeans with insect eyes. I will come back tomorrow and still want these. Can you help me, the shopkeeper?" I’ll prepare it in advance.”

"Don't worry, our store will never dare to fool the madam." I don't know which madam in the city, so I can't offend him.

Chen Changsheng paid six taels of silver, and the shopkeeper issued a receipt. When the time comes to pick up the goods, he can use this receipt to verify that it is correct.

"Madam, please leave your home address, and I will ask my clerk to deliver it to you later."

"Just take it to the city gate. I'll wait there after noon."

After Chen Changsheng came out of the grain store, he went to buy brown sugar and chopped hawthorn. Fortunately, these two items were usually not cheap, and there were relatively few people buying them, so there was no intention to increase the price for the time being.

When everything was in order, she remembered the piece of paper in her purse, the letter of introduction that Bai Xiao had written to her.

Chen Changsheng took out the note and opened it. There were beautiful handwriting on it. After reading the letter of introduction, she took a shortcut into the market and prepared to go to the place where the letter was written.

"Sister-in-law!" A familiar voice came from behind.

Chen Changsheng looked back and saw that it was the noodle stall owner.
