Mr. Shen lowered his eyes: "Maybe God wants to give our Shen family a way to survive."
Old Mrs. Shen also put her hands together and bowed in the direction outside: "Our girl is indeed blessed. When my wife gave birth to her, there were magpies on the eaves announcing the good news."
"Whatever you think should be done next, just do it, we all believe in you." Shen Rong said to Shen Yu.
No one else has any opinions. In the Shen family, Shen Rong's words are the most important one besides Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen.
Shen Yuyu feels that the greatest advantage of the Shen family is that they are united.
After gaining the trust of everyone in the Shen family, Shen Yuyu began to arrange tasks for them according to the plan in his heart.
Rather than hurry up, she decided to start preparations early tomorrow morning.
Shen Rong, Dalang and Erlang still went to school in the town as usual. Shen Ming and Shen Yun were arranged by Shen Yuyu to go to a few more places to inquire about food prices and buy food. The remaining people first dug cellars at home to collect food. It would be nice to have a place to put it after you buy it.
Shen Yuyu planned to go to the town to buy some fabrics or ready-made clothes, and prepare some clothes in advance.
In addition, Shen Yuyu also planned to teach them some self-defense skills. She also thought of an excuse and said that the grandfather in the dream taught her self-defense.
Early the next morning, everyone in the Shen family was busy working according to their assigned tasks.
Because Shen Yuyu got up late, she couldn't catch up with the two brothers Shen Ming and Shen Yun to go to town.
It was already noon when the two came back again.
"Brown rice costs fifteen cents per catty? Isn't it usually twelve cents per catty?" Ms. Zhao asked in surprise.
"Not only that, but the prices of yellow rice, millet and flour have also increased. Although the price increase is only a few cents per pound, it will cost a lot more if we store grain. We came back to ask if we couldn't make up our minds. Shen Ming replied with a sad face.
Shen Yue, who had just returned from the mountain, happened to hear what Shen Ming said.
When people in the hospital saw Shen Yuyu coming back, they subconsciously looked at her.
Shen Yuyu thought of what Shen Ming said, and after thinking deeply, he said: "This should be just the beginning. The sudden increase in prices in the grain store shows that the people behind him have got some news, so we have to step up our efforts to stock up on grain. Maybe the price will continue to rise. "
When Shen Ming and the others heard this, they felt it made sense, otherwise they would have suffered even more losses if they waited until the price went up again to buy it.
Shen Ming and Shen Yun immediately planned to go to the town to order the food, fearing that if they went there any later, the price of food would increase again.
Shen Yue also decided to go to town with him, but the three of them still had lunch at home.
…
In Xing'an Town, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky. Because of the hot weather, there are fewer people walking on the streets.
"Girl, let's go to the grain store on West Street to buy some. I took a look today and their grain looks fresher," Shen Yun said.
Shen Yuyu gave him a thumbs up after hearing what he said. She originally asked them to inquire about a few more grain stores just to find more cost-effective grains to buy.
Unexpectedly, the two of them not only inquired about the price, but also found out the quality. Shen Yuyu was amazed in his heart.
But he still shook his head and said: "Let's go to the horse market to buy an ox cart first."
Because Shen Yuyu has a small treasure box that she can take and put in, except for some copper plates, all the money is now on her.
Mrs. Shen said that she would not be afraid of losing it this way, otherwise she would feel uneasy having so much money hidden at home.
Shen Yuyu didn't refuse, but he planned to keep accounts every day, otherwise even the person he was close to would not be able to stop the suspicion in his heart.
At noon, there were very few people in the horse market. The clerks inside were leaning against the door rails and taking a nap.
"Hey, buddy, hey, hey." Shen Yun stepped forward to call, and when there was no movement, he pushed twice.
The waiter was suddenly awakened and apologized hurriedly before opening his eyes: "I'm not lazy, shopkeeper, I'm not lazy."
"Come back to your senses, we need to buy livestock." Shen Yuyu reminded, standing behind Shen Yun.
The cold voice reached the waiter's ears, and he finally came to his senses. It turned out that he was not the shopkeeper, which shocked him.
The waiter smiled awkwardly and asked: "Guests, are you buying cattle or mules?"
There are horses, cattle and mules for sale in the horse market, but most of the people who come to buy carriages are the rich families in the town. The three people in front of them are still wearing patched clothes. They are obviously not among those who can buy horses, so the man That's why you ask them.
And Shen Yuyu didn't even think about buying a horse. Horses were much more expensive than cattle, and they were too conspicuous, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Shen Yun turned to look at Shen Yue and asked her opinion.
"Let's buy cattle. Let's take a look at it."
"Okay, sir, come with me." The waiter took Shen Yuxi and the others to the backyard, where there were many livestock grazing.
Shen Yuyu is not familiar with this one, so Shen Ming and Shen Yun should go up to this one.
Shen Ming touched one and looked at that, and after a while he selected a cow that looked particularly energetic.
Shen Yue also asked him to pick out an ox cart and asked the clerk to help him put it on. In the end, Shen Yun bargained with the clerk and gave him seventeen taels of silver.
Shen Ming knew how to drive the ox cart. After Shen Yue and Shen Yun sat firmly on the edge of the ox cart, Shen Ming drove the ox cart to the grain store.
The grain store Shen Yun mentioned is not far from here, and you can get there in just one cup of tea.
Shen Ming was watching the oxcart outside, while Shen Yue and Shen Yun went in to buy grain.
Shen Yun had already found out the price, and the two of them went in and started buying immediately.
Brown rice, millet, rice and flour each cost 200 kilograms. Shen Yuyu saw that each sack here could hold almost 100 kilograms of grain. They wanted eight bags.
The waiters in the store helped carry the grain to the bullock cart outside.
After buying food, Shen Yuhu and the others went to a clothing store.
There are ready-made clothes and cloth in the shop. Ready-made clothes are relatively expensive. Shen Ming and Shen Yun originally planned to buy fabrics and wait for their families to make the clothes after returning home. Shen Yuyu thought that they were wasting time making clothes, but they still It was so eye-catching that I bought two pairs of ready-made clothes for each person.
In addition, I bought five pieces of cloth and some soft fabrics. I plan to give them to little Zhang after I go back and let her make small clothes for the baby in her belly.
When Shen Yun saw that Shen Yue actually thought about his unborn child, he was moved again.
Chen Yun said in a loud voice: "Girl, my third uncle will definitely treat you as his own daughter from now on!"
Shen Yuyu pushed his handsome face away, looked at Shen Yun and smiled sadly: "Uncle San means that his love for me before was all fake."
"How is that possible? Uncle San's love for you can be seen from the sun and the moon. Girl, you can't misunderstand me, otherwise I will take off a layer of your skin when you go back." Shen Yun explained quickly.
The two of them chatted and laughed while holding their clothes and putting them on the oxcart. The food was placed in the middle and back of the oxcart, and the clothes and cloth were placed in the front. Shen Yue and Shen Yun sat comfortably on it.
After all the shopping, it was getting dark. The big boys and the second boys in the town had already finished school, and all the shops in the town were closed.
Shen Ming drove the ox cart in the direction of Shenjia Village.
