Chapter 020: Procurement Continues

While walking out of the city, Liu An looked at the shops on both sides of the street.

Later, I bought 4 yรกns for cooking, a large ceramic water tank, and 20 pairs of chopsticks at a grocery store, which cost a total of 730 yuan.

After buying so many things, the time has come to the time, and Liu An still has 21,065 money left in his pocket, including 1 gold cake, 7 silver cakes, and 565 copper coins.

The car was already full, and there was no way to put any more things, so Liu An could only go home first, put down his things, and then come back to buy food.

It's just that when he walked to the city gate, Liu An saw a person carrying firewood and selling firewood, but he still couldn't hold back, bought 3 bundles of wood for 30 yuan, and put them in a large water tank.

Fortunately, the water tank is big enough, otherwise it really wouldn't have fitted.

At this moment, the strong cattle that had just been extracted from the system finally couldn't hold on, and the speed of pulling the cart slowed down.

In desperation, Liu An could only get out of the car, holding the ox rope in one hand and the blood spirit in the other, and walked slowly towards home.

Under the eager and fearful eyes of the victims, Liu An smoothly passed through the team of victims, and after walking a short time, he entered Liujia Village.

At this time, it was almost noon, and Zhuo County had not yet begun to plant crops on a large scale, so it was just going to the fields to turn over the ground and clean up the dead grass.

Therefore, many villagers are at home during noon, and villagers who have nothing to do will gather in groups on the street to chat about their daily routines and tell interesting stories.

Seeing Liu An coming back with an ox cart loaded with a lot of things, they all pointed curiously.

There were also a few middle-aged men who had a better relationship with Liu An and asked Liu An what he was going to do, but Liu An only told them that he had bought some wasteland to be reclaimed, and then said no more.

Seeing that they couldn't find any more news, the villagers went back and told the others what they had heard from Liu An.

Among them, there is naturally no shortage of nonsense, such as Liu An wasted money to buy these things, it is better to save the money to buy fertile land, and so on.

There were also some who pointed at the ploughing ox and the big dog, and talked about it, either in amazement or in horror.

Liu An is noncommittal, who doesn't know how to gossip, and when he makes achievements, the rumors are self-defeating.

Walking into the house with the ox cart, Liu An saw that Cui's was tidying up the housework.

She poured out a few sacks from her home, took out the coarse grains from the clay pot and put them into the sacks, and then poured the husked rice and flour that Liu An bought yesterday into the two clay pots for preservation.

Seeing that Liu An bought another car of things and came back, he was puzzled:

"Why did my son buy so many utensils? There are only two of you and me at home, how can you use so many utensils? โ€

"My son has his own use, mother should go and cook something, my son is hungry."

At this time, most of the poor people had two meals a day, and after eating breakfast in the morning, they would not eat the second meal until the time of the application.

Liu Anke was hungry at that time, he was only sixteen years old, and it was the time to grow his body, and he ate more and digested faster.

"Hey." Cui Shi answered, but didn't go to cook, but stared at the blood spirit who followed Liu An back and asked, "My son...... ...... this big dog? โ€

"Oh, I forgot to introduce it." Liu An patted his head, pointed to the blood spirit and said to his mother: "This is the blood spirit, I met it outside the city today, and when I saw it wandering around, it should be ownerless, and I was very close to my son, so I was ready to adopt it and named it the blood spirit." โ€

After speaking, Liu An patted the blood spirit again, bent down and pointed at his mother and said softly to the blood spirit:

"Blood Spirit, that's my mother, we are a family, and I will ask you to protect me in the future~~"

"Whew~~" The blood spirit opened its mouth and roared, then pulled the rope and wagged its tail and was about to run to Cui's, but was pulled by the rope.

Liu An saw that the blood spirit's eyes were gentle and even a little flattering, so he knew that it had no intention of hurting his mother, so he loosened the rope.

At this time, the blood spirit ran to Cui's side like a wild horse that had lost its reins, wagging its tail and circling around Cui's.

At first, when he saw the blood spirit running over, Cui Shi was startled, but after a while, he realized that it had no intention of harming himself, and Cui Shi was relieved.

Seeing the blood spirit rubbing his head against his leg, Cui Shi boldly reached out and touched its head, and the blood spirit suddenly showed a look of enjoyment.

"What a psychic boy!"

Liu An was relieved when he saw this and continued to carry the goods.

Cui Shi didn't continue to tease the blood spirit, went to the house to get rice and went to cook.

In the past, there was a shortage of food at home, and she would help her son do it when he was hungry, not to mention that there is no shortage of food at home now.

It's just that she has developed a saving habit over the years, and she will still only do her son's share, at most she will have two leftovers for her son.

Liu An naturally knew what his mother was thinking, and he didn't say much, he had to go to the city after putting his things away, and then he would buy some food in the city and come back.

While unloading things in the yard, Liu An said to Cui Shi slightly out of breath: "I have to go out after putting things out, and I will eat when I come back." โ€

"Don't work too hard, let's take a break." Cui Shi was worried about Liu An's health, afraid that he would be tired.

"It's fine." Liu An responded, "But I still have to go to the city after a short rest, and it will take some time to cook anyway." โ€

When Cui saw Liu An like this, he didn't say anything anymore.

Moving the things to the yard one by one, Liu An rested for a while, fed some food and water to the ploughing cow, and secretly cut a piece of raw pork from his mother's room and quietly fed it to the blood spirit.

Then Liu An drove the ox cart out again.

paid 10 yuan for entering the city, and this time the city guards let him go much more simply, and even joked with Liu An with a smile.

Liu An also took it with a smile, and less than a quarter of an hour later, Liu An came to the store where he bought the quilt yesterday.

The little guy was still at the door, lazily leaning against the door frame and casually looking at the pedestrians.

Seeing Liu An walking towards him, the little guy knew that business was coming, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Lang Jun is here, what are you going to see today?"

"Do you have a quilt mat that someone else has replaced? Cheaper. โ€

"Yes, I'm worried that I don't know what to do!" The little guy was immediately happy when he heard it, "This rich man won't use other people's leftovers, and those who don't have money can't even afford other people's leftovers. Lang Jun will wait a while, I will go and get it with Lang Jun. โ€

"Hurry up." Liu An listened to the little girl's complaints, and waved his hand helplessly to urge.

He had to rush home for dinner, it was noon, and he was already hungry.

After a while, the little maid came back with a futon and a straw mat.

Liu An saw that the quilt in the hand of the little servant had a sense of familiarity, this is not similar to the tattered quilt on his body when he first came yesterday.

The mattress is the same, there are holes in some places, and even the poplar catkins inside can be seen.

The straw mat is a little better, only the corners are slightly damaged, which does not affect the use.

"How much does it cost?" Liu An asked with a little disgust, if it was too expensive, he didn't plan to buy it.

"The shopkeeper said, if you want to buy this futon, you have to buy a set, you can't just buy a quilt without buying a mattress, a set is sold at the lowest price of 200 yuan, and I hope Lang Jun will not negotiate. Straw mats can be bought separately for 80 yuan a piece. โ€

"Oh?"

A set costs only 200 yuan?

It's acceptable, Liu Anxin thought, but the counteroffer still has to be repaid.

"If I buy all the bedding and straw mats, and I want 20 sets at a time, can it be cheaper?"
