24. 024 Food is expensive
Fortunately, there are not many fish at this time, and there is not much to eat, otherwise fish food is also a serious problem when people are not full.
In a blink of an eye, it is the market day that He said, this day happens to be the twentieth day of the lunar month, and in a few days it will be the New Year, and the family's New Year's goods have not been purchased much.
Get up early, Yun Mei Niang advanced to the space to take a look, the buds and potatoes planted in the ground grew a small section yesterday, and this morning I saw that there were fingers high, and the small seedlings grew thick and strong, and they looked at the nutrients sufficiently.
Even if Yun Mei Niang didn't know about crops, after receiving the memory of the original owner, she also knew that this was very abnormal, and it seemed that the crops in the space could not only shorten the growth period, but also the quality was not ordinary.
After reading the buds and potatoes, and then at the small fish, although they did not grow too obviously, they were much thicker, and the bud rice flour flatbread she ate as a fish only used a corner.
Raising fish and farming in the space is really economical and affordable.
Not long after coming out of the space, He came to knock on the door, and when it was time to leave, Yun Meiniang hurriedly put on a coat and came out of the house.
He and Yun Meiniang carried a bag of budding rice grains, a total of about one stone, and were ready to sell it in the town for a few pennies.
I heard that the grain in the town has been very expensive recently, and the buds and rice grains are three times more expensive than in previous years, and even so, most farmers are still reluctant to sell them.
This year's drought, not only did there not be much rain in a year, but after winter, not a single snowflake had fallen, who would dare to guarantee that there would be no drought in the coming year?
No matter how good the money is, you can't take care of it, and it's safer to keep the food at home.
If He hadn't thought about buying a piece of cloth for Mei Niang to make clothes, he wouldn't have been willing to sell the bud rice.
Fortunately, there is a lot of grain left over from previous years, and there is also a surplus of potatoes and sweet potatoes planted this year, and even if it is not produced in another two years, the whole family will not be hungry.
Since the family's cattle were taken away by the second uncle's family, it has been a lot of trouble to go out, but fortunately, there are still a few families with cattle in the same village.
On weekdays, Meiniang's family is not bad in the village, and it is not a problem to take anyone's ox cart.
On this day, it happened that Uncle Cheng's family was also going to the town to buy New Year's goods, so He took Mei Niang to the town in an ox cart.
The people sitting in the same car were all Cheng San's family, including Cheng San's aunt, Cheng San'e's eldest daughter-in-law Yu Yue, daughter Cuiqiao, and a niece Lan Qian, and Li San's sister-in-law who was brought to the entrance of the village on the road.
Except for Aunt Cheng and He's, the rest are not a few years old with Mei Niang, and they also talk and laugh along the way.
It's just that everyone tacitly avoids talking about Meiniang and Xiucai, and Meiniang is also cautious, which makes Meiniang a little weak.
Occasionally, if someone accidentally says it, the crowd either falls silent or quickly changes the subject.
Yun Mei Niang could feel their kindness, and wanted to say that she really didn't matter, but she knew that no one would believe her even if she said it, so she simply tried to say as little as possible.
Soon, the town arrived, and the ox carts were stored in the backyard of a rice store called Wo Long Kee.
In Meiniang's memory, the uncle is the account room of Helongji, and the people in the village will come here to catch the market, and the owner is also a kind person.
The ox carts were put away, and they made an appointment to meet here at the beginning of the day, and everyone went to buy their own things.
He took Mei Niang to find Uncle Yun and sold the bud rice grains in front of Helongji.
Different from previous years, when new grain was more expensive than old grain, this year's old grain is a little higher than the price of new grain that has just been harvested because of its low moisture and easy to eat.
The two bags of rice brought by the mother were just last year's old grain, and the two bags were just one stone, and in previous years, one stone bud rice grain could be sold for up to 150 Wen, but this year it was sold for 500 Wen.
Although there is an uncle's favor, it can also be seen that this year's food is expensive.
