Chapter 8 008: Shopping
This town is small and long from east to west. Once you enter it, you can see hawkers shouting. There are quite a few people on the street. Presumably, they are here for the morning market. It is bustling with people. It is similar to the modern ancient town, but the atmosphere is more intense.

Ye Li followed several women with a big backpack on his back, and walked to the market together. She was new here and didn't dare to buy things casually.

After walking for a while, several women stopped, one of them found a place to lift the cloth on the basket, and mixed in with the vendors.

Ye Li pretended to pass by and glanced at the things in their baskets, and found that what they brought were eggs and side dishes, presumably they were saved at home and brought to the town for some pocket money.

However, there are a few women who are different. They entered an embroidery shop, which should be selling embroidery products. Ye Li sighed helplessly. This way of making money is probably not suitable for her. Every duck is struggling.

Walking along the bazaar, inquiring about the prices of vegetables while walking, at the end of the day, he knew almost everything. The bazaar is full of snacks and vegetables, but not food. Ye Li can only turn around and walk back. go.

This time I came here to buy food, and I can put other things away later, "Boss, how do you sell this white flour?" When I entered the shop, I saw the white flour at the bottom.

The boss looked up at her and saw that she was still dressed, so he replied slowly: "Five cents a catty."

Ye Li thought for a while that the money in his hand was only enough to buy three catties, even if he lived frugally, he would not be able to eat for a few days, so he pointed to the white noodles next to him and asked, "Boss, where is the one next to it?"

The boss glanced up, saw that it was the last white face, and his face was a little impatient, "Three pennies per catty."

Ye Li: "How much is the cornmeal next to it per catty?"

The boss heard her asking endlessly, and became impatient in his heart, "Two pennies per catty, do you want to buy it?"

Ye Lili had an idea, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Buy, buy." There is no way that someone who runs a grain shop must be powerful and powerful. She still has self-knowledge and can't afford to mess with it.

"I want three catties of noodles and two catties of cornmeal."

Seeing that she wanted so little, the boss felt contemptuous for a while, but didn't move, and shouted at Xiao Er, who was arranging the shelves next to her, "Xiao Li, get her some noodles."

After buying the noodles, Ye Li only had two copper plates and a silver ingot left. The silver ingot was reluctant to spend, it was the same as having nothing.

Ye Li was walking on the way home with a face full of pain. When he passed the meat stall, his footsteps paused, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Didn’t the time-traveling articles say that pigs are cheap?Then she might as well ask in the past.

"Boss, how do you sell this meat?"

"Fat meat is five cents a catty, lean meat is three cents a catty, and fat and thin are four cents a catty." The boss replied while chopping meat.

Well, she can't afford these things. Seeing the pigs thrown aside into the water, Ye Li casually asked, "Boss, how do you sell these things?"

The boss glanced at Zhu Xiashui, and replied casually: "One penny is one catty." Afraid that Ye Li would ask again, he added, "If you want those two bones, give me two pennies."

Ye Li glanced at the bones thrown beside him. The surface of the bones had been picked clean, only some meat remained in the gaps. Presumably it was a little sweetness given by the boss in order to attract poor people like them to buy.

Ye Li replied without thinking, "Boss, wrap up these two bones for me!" As he spoke, he took out two coins from his pocket and put them on the chopping board.

The pig bones can be chopped and used to make soup. It is too troublesome to deal with pig offal, and if it is not done well, it will taste bad. It is better for her to be safe.

After shopping, there was no change in his pocket, and Ye Li didn't stay any longer, and walked back with big strides.

Fortunately, the village where they lived was not too far from the town. She arrived there in less than half an hour, took out the key from her pocket, opened the gate, and strode in. It was heavy to carry so much food.

There has always been a lock in their house, but because the door is not strong enough, it has not been used. After repairing it yesterday, Lin Xiao found the lock and gave her a key.

Putting down the basket, Ye Li picked up the cold water and drank it in big gulps, drinking a whole bowl before he recovered.

After sitting for a while, I went to pack my things. The bowls and jars I pinched yesterday were almost dry, and Ye Li brought them in from outside, just in time to fill them.

Separate the white flour and cornmeal and pour them into jars, and throw the bones into the basin to soak. Seeing that everything is almost packed, I plan to go up the mountain to have a look.

There are no vegetables at home except food, so she has to go up the mountain to dig some wild vegetables and come back.

By the time she reached the mountain with a basket on her back, many people had already arrived at the foot of the mountain, most of them women and children.

Seeing what little remains at the foot of the mountain that had been dug up, Ye Li planned to walk inside to see if he could find something else.

I don't know how the relationship with the original owner came about. She walked up the mountain all the way, and passed by many people, but no one greeted her, but Ye Li was also happy, and when everyone ignored her, she ignored them.

I don't know if it's because this path is traveled by a lot of people, but there are not many edible things on the roadside. Ye Li only picked a few wild mushrooms along the way. Ye Li planned to find another way.

She found a relatively safe path, and plunged into it without looking back.

A woman following her saw where she was going, her face turned pale with fright, and she opened her mouth to call her.

A woman who was with her told her to remind Ye Li, so she quickly pulled her away, and said in a bitter tone, "Why are you calling her!"

"Then...that road can't be taken."

"It's none of our business if she wants to go." After speaking, she glanced back.

I saw the village chief's wife standing behind them, looking at them with a smile on her face. They all knew that the village chief's daughter liked Lin Xiao, and wished that Ye Li would die quickly so that her daughter could move a place.

The kind woman reacted immediately, and hurriedly pulled the people around her away.

After Ye Li plunged into this small path, he gained a lot in an instant.

All kinds of mushrooms, not to mention wild vegetables, also allowed her to find a lot of condiments, just peppers and green onions made her happy for a long time.

The first time she went up the mountain, Ye Li didn't dare to go deeper, she found what she wanted and planned to go back, but she heard a slight sound when someone moved.

Ye Li followed the source of the sound, and saw a gray pheasant lying on the grass, looking at her warily.

Ye Li was overjoyed, and quietly slowed down and was about to touch it. As soon as he was about to reach it, the pheasant suddenly flew up, leaving Ye Li with an ugly butt.
