After feigning death, the sturdy peasant girl abducted a hunter to give birth to cubs

Chapter 13 Can’t do without salt

Lin Fuyue saw that the banknotes and money were all on her benefactor, so she could only follow him quickly.

If you don't follow him, then you will be penniless, and it's not a good idea to grab him head-on.

After all, he saved her. Without him, she would have entered the belly of the giant python.

"Brother Qian, let's go buy food first."

"Didn't Dongyu and Dongshun already buy rice?"

"What can we do if we only have rice? Don't you have about a hundred people? Let's go buy some flour."

"Yeah." After Lu Shaoqian said that, he walked towards the food store.

Lin Fuyue followed closely behind, and the two of them walked into the grain store and asked about the price of grain.

Immediately, I understood why Dongyu and the others wanted brown rice. The price difference between brown rice and polished rice was eight cents per pound.

The store also sells black noodles, which cost five cents per catty, if you buy one hundred catties of polished rice.

It is equivalent to buying one hundred kilograms of brown rice and one hundred and fifty kilograms of black noodles.

Black flour is actually not black flour, but flour mixed with some coarse grains.

Lin Fuyue had never eaten black noodles, but the original owner had eaten steamed buns made with black noodles for several years and the taste was very bad.

It also cannot be fermented, and the resulting dough is as hard as a rock. Rich people will never eat such unpalatable flour.

But it is cheap, costing only five cents per pound, or five copper coins, and is a staple food for many poor people.

After the original owner got married, he was followed by a large family. He had some money and bought it to honor the evil mother-in-law and white-eyed wolves.

She and her husband had been eating steamed buns made of black flour for three hundred and sixty-five days.

When the husband is out hunting, he might even have a barbecue and eat his fill before returning home.

It's not Lin Fuyue's conspiracy theory, but the scumbag Xianggong's virtue is the bomber among scumbag men.

After you become rich, you can forget about hugging her all day long and leave the original owner as a nanny. You just give her a bite to eat.

He was guilty enough to beat someone to death and even got a slap in the face. This revenge must be avenged.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell white flour? How do you sell medium flour?" Lin Fuyue asked angrily.

Because she just thought of unsightly things and was in a bad mood.

"The lowest quality flour costs ten cents per catty, the better quality flour costs fifteen cents per catty, and the best white flour costs twenty cents per catty."

The shopkeeper's attitude was good. He didn't care about Lin Fuyue's tone, and some poor people came in and asked about the price for a long time.

After hearing the quotation, not only did they not buy it, they even cursed and said it was expensive, and left without looking back.

Is it easy for them to do business?

It's okay to meet upright people, but there are a lot of people who have to talk about trivial things.

"Help me weigh a hundred pounds of flour worth fifteen cents, and a hundred pounds of the best white flour."

Lin Fuyue said grandly, I am considered a rich person now, why should I treat myself badly?

When the shopkeeper heard Lin Fuyue's words, he smiled like the Milo Buddha and Bodhisattva in the temple.

He immediately asked the waiter to weigh out two hundred kilograms of different flours, and he returned to the counter and rattled the abacus.

"Shopkeeper, isn't it only three to two to five hundred cents? Do you need to calculate it with cracklings?"

Lin Fuyue didn't despise the shopkeeper, she just felt that the shopkeeper's actions were too exaggerated.

Or maybe she couldn't understand the excitement of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper didn't believe it at the time and was still making calculations. After a moment, he made a sound of surprise.

"Young lady, you are so powerful. Yes, it is three to two to five hundred yuan. How did you calculate it?"

"Calculating verbally, one hundred catties is one thousand five hundred Wen plus two thousand Wen. The total is three thousand five hundred Wen. Isn't it three to two or five hundred Wen?"

Shopkeeper: "...Yes, that's right, but...I can't figure it out verbally."

Lu Shaoqian: "..."

You are a coward, no, you are a powerful person now, when will you know how to do such a powerful thing as settling accounts?

The powerful person bared his teeth at her: "Hurry up and pay the money, we have to buy other things."

Hehe! You have to pay the bill with a wink when you have money in your pocket. You don’t understand this. You are such a boring person.

After paying the money, she casually carried a bag of flour, oh! One hundred kilograms, how amazing is this sister?

Lu Shaoqian followed closely with a bag in hand, because there was a grocery store not far next door.

Lin Fuyue wanted to buy some seasonings, so she didn't need Lu Shaoqian to lead the way and went straight to the grocery store to ask about soy sauce.

Ninety-nine cents per pound, this price shocked her. Soy sauce is expensive, and people in ancient times consumed less.

Don't buy it, it's so expensive.

Looking back, my sister knows how to make soy sauce when she buys soybeans. The next day she comes out and buys a hundred catties of soybeans to make it herself.

Later, Lin Fuyue realized that this soy sauce was not the soy sauce that we eat in modern times.

It is made from wild animal meat, and the process is very complicated. No wonder it is so expensive.

This soy sauce is basically for the rich. The poor are still eating black steamed buns. What kind of soy sauce do they want?

Thinking of the current environment, she gritted her teeth and bought ten pounds of salt. She could do it without soy sauce, but she couldn't do it without salt!

The oil was made from unknown raw materials. It didn't smell as good as rapeseed oil and peanut oil, and it was expensive. She only bought two kilograms.

After buying it, the ten taels of silver were gone again. In an instant, Lin Fuyue felt that the money was wasted.

Seasonings are so expensive, no wonder people in this era generally eat vegetables cooked in plain water.

Don't put any seasonings, just boil the water inside, put some salt in the pot, some of them are in poor condition and don't even put any salt.

Lin Fuyue has been unwilling to treat herself badly since she was a child. Salt and oil are the basic ingredients for cooking.

Lu Shaoqian followed her without saying anything, just muttering secretly in his heart.

The coward was beaten and turned into a powerful person, and his money was no longer the same as before.

It was so grand that he even felt inferior to it!

He also wanted to visit the pharmacy and buy some medicine for his seriously injured subordinates, Lin Fuyue told him.

"My sister knows herbal medicine. Let's go back and see their injuries before making a decision."

What she didn't say was why waste money, but it was too hurtful to say that.

Lin Fuyue also wanted to buy pork, but Lu Shaoqian said that they could hunt wild boars and there was no need to buy pork.

So the two of them walked back towards the mountains. Although they still had two hundred taels of silver notes, the road ahead was vast and they would save what they could.

When we returned to the cave deep in the mountains, the smell of rice was already wafting inside.

It turned out that Dongyu and Dongshun bought a hundred kilograms of polished rice and went back to lure out all the greedy people in the cave.

Some half-disabled teenagers wanted to grab a handful of rice and put it in their mouths to taste it.

There was no woman in the cave, only an older man in his thirties.

He suggested that he first cook a pot of white porridge for everyone to try. Without Lu Shaoqian, Dongfeng would be the boss.

He directed several people to light a fire to cook porridge, and Dongshun quickly poured about ten kilograms of rice for the uncle who was cooking.

"Uncle, please put more water in it, so that we can have enough food for ten days."
