"Eldest sister, my third sister and I are not tired, but it costs money to rent an ox cart? It's not worth the money." When Liu Yisa heard this, he quickly shook his head and refused.

"Later, our family will buy hundreds of catties of rice and noodles, so we will rely on a few of us to carry them back, and I don't know how many trips we have to carry on our backs? What's more, the weather is hot now, in case of heat stroke, this can't be done, renting an ox cart is only a matter of a dozen copper plates, this money, the eldest sister is willing to spend, you and the eldest sister go to the Li Ji grain shop first, let's buy rice and noodles, and then rent an ox cart to go back." Liu Yiyu also ignored the opposition of the second sister and others, and made a decision.

"This girl is here again today, what do you want to buy today?" After Liu Yiyu took his younger siblings to Li Ji Grain Shop, the guy from Li Ji Grain Store greeted him with a smile and said to Liu Yiyu.

"This little brother is good, my family wants to buy a few hundred catties of rice noodles, is the price less?" Liu Yiyu asked directly.

"This ......, I can't be the master of this, let me ask our shopkeeper." When the guy heard that Liu Yiyu wanted to buy a few hundred catties of rice noodles, he was directly stunned.

This guy has some impression of Liu Yiyu, he is the old customer of Li Ji Grain Shop, and the food he bought at Li Ji Grain Shop next time is also thirty or forty catties, and then he looks at the patches on his clothes, and he knows that he is not a wealthy family, and now he hears that Liu Yiyu wants to buy hundreds of catties of rice and noodles and other food, if it is someone else, it is nothing, these words came out of Liu Yiyu's mouth, this guy was a little frightened, hundreds of catties of rice and flour grain, not to mention the price of a few taels of silver? .

"Shopkeeper, this guest said that he wanted to buy hundreds of catties of rice and flour grain, and there was no discount on the price."

The shopkeeper of Li Kee's grain shop was counting the accounts of this month, and after hearing the guy in the store, he raised his eyes and said, "Is it you, the girl?" Now that you have made a fortune, ....... you have the foresight and courage of this girl? I'll tell you the truth, this brand hanging on the price of rice noodles will be replaced in the afternoon, and each catty of rice will rise to three copper plates and a catty, and as for the noodles, it will rise to two copper plates and a catty. ”。 Shopkeeper Li didn't know what he was thinking, he glanced at Liu Yiyu with appreciation, and explained a few words by the way.

"Three hundred and sixty catties of brown rice, seven hundred and twenty catties of black flour, and ten catties of salt." After Liu Yiyu heard the words of Shopkeeper Li, he did not hesitate, and directly bought enough food for his family to eat for eight months.

"Buy so much". At that time, Shopkeeper Li was a little surprised when he heard that Liu Yiyu was going to buy thousands of catties of rice noodles.

Shopkeeper Li thought that if this girl wanted to buy rice and noodles, it would be about two or three hundred catties at most, but he didn't expect that this girl would be thousands of catties when she bought it.

"Isn't there such a thing here in Shopkeeper Li?" Liu Yiyu heard Shopkeeper Li's surprised words, and thought that Shopkeeper Li didn't have much stock here, and suddenly, Liu Yiyu frowned.

"That's not it, Xiao Zhang, you go to the back warehouse to pack the rice and noodles and bring them to the front."

"Okay, shopkeeper".

"Eight copper plates for brown rice and one catty, three hundred and sixty pounds of brown rice for two taels of silver and eight hundred and eighty wen, four copper plates for black noodles and one catty, seven hundred and twenty catties of black noodles, also two taels of silver and eight hundred and eighty wen, fifteen copper plates for salt, one hundred and fifty copper plates for one arch, and the three things add up together, five taels of silver and nine hundred and ten copper plates, erase the odds, and give five taels of silver and nine hanging money." Shopkeeper Li's fingers snapped quickly on the abacus, calculating the price.

Liu Yiyu reluctantly took out five taels of silver and nine hanging money, originally saved six taels of silver and two hanging money, plus just sold wild things and embroidery samples, one or two silver and two hanging money in the account, bought cotton cloth spent eight hanging money, the remaining four hanging money, plus the previous six taels of silver and two hanging money, there are six taels of silver and six hanging money, this time it took five taels of silver and nine hanging money to buy rice and flour and other grains, and the Liu family returned to the pre-liberation period, and the whole net worth was only seven hanging money.

"Shopkeeper Li, such rice and noodles, we can't carry so many babies back, can you hire us an ox cart and send us home, and the money will be paid by us." Liu Yiyu said.

"It's not necessary, there is an ox cart at the back of Li Kee's grain shop, which is convenient for some old customers to buy a lot of grain at once, and it is inconvenient to get it home, so provide an ox cart for the old customers to deliver to their homes."

"This relationship is good, thank you to the shopkeeper Li."

It was almost noon, and the Liu family sisters and brothers returned to their own bamboo house.

If it weren't for the sake of going around a big circle and avoiding entering the village from the front of the ravine village, now the war and the drought, their own family is wandering to the ravine village, and they used to live a good life, not to say it themselves, and the villagers of the ravine village also knew, otherwise, their grandfather and uncle would not have starved to death last winter, and this year, how could the villagers of the ravine village see that they have bought so much food, I am afraid that the villagers of the ravine village will also panic, and they will come to the door from time to time to inquire if they have made any windfalls, and the Liu family sisters and brothers will not go home at noon.

After Liu Yiyu asked the ox cart from the Li Ji Grain Shop to be delivered to the foot of the mountain, he asked the man from the Li Ji Grain Shop to put the rice and noodles on the ox cart on the ground and let him carry it back to the bamboo house cave.

Before leaving, Liu Yiyu gave five copper plates as a reward, and then Liu Yiyu's sisters and brothers carried and carried them, and it took a lot of effort to carry thousands of catties of rice and noodles back to the cave of the bamboo house.

The cave in the bamboo house was not big originally, and thousands of catties of rice noodles were piled up, and the small corners occupied the place, and there was no place to put your feet, for fear that these rice noodles would be placed on the ground, and the moisture on the ground would pass to the rice noodles, so don't spoil the rice noodles when the time comes.

Liu Yiyu thought of a way, used a few thick ropes, bolted the back basket, put rice noodles in the back basket, and then hung on the top of the cave, so that it would not take up space, nor would it be afraid that the rice noodles would be damaged.

"Eldest sister, how did you buy such rice noodles, it cost a lot of money!". After placing these rice noodles, Liu Li was both happy and a little distressed about those silver money.

"Mother, fortunately, our family went to buy these rice noodles today? In the evening, the black noodles will rise to six copper plates a catty, and the brown rice will rise to three copper plates a catty, the eldest sister bought so many rice noodles, although it cost a lot of money, but this time the eldest sister bought early, but not suddenly the eldest sister made a few taels of silver? ”。 The fifth brother, Liu Yihao, explained.

Liu Yiyu, who heard Liu Yihao's words, glanced at Liu Yihao with a hint of housework in his eyes, but he didn't expect his fifth brother to react very quickly and have the mind to do business.
