The price of rice had risen? Should I ask my parents to buy it? They should know about it too! Should he go back and report?
"We might not be able to eat 200 catties for many days. What's the price of the noodles now?”Liu's eldest uncle asked again.
"Fine white flour is 15 coins per 500 grams, normal white flour is 12 coins, and black flour is 10 coins.”Uncle Liu said.
"Noodle is already 10 coins? "Noodle is the lowest quality flour for black noodles." Sister Liu said in surprise.
"It's normal for the price of food to rise in the war outside. The longer the war goes on, the higher the price will rise.”Liu family's eldest uncle said.
"Right, right. Let's buy more while the price hasn't risen too much. The grain won't go bad for a while. Boss, see if you can buy enough money?”The old man from Liu Clan spoke.
"Father, I was thinking that we should buy 200 catties of rice first and then 100 catties of noodles? I have the money, but I don't know how much we should buy!”Uncle Liu said hesitantly.
"This…!" Yes, how much should I buy! There were so many people eating, and the price of grain was still so high. If they bought too much, the war would not be tense, and the price of grain would fall. If they bought too little, what if the price rose again in the future?
"Father, let me see how much food we have at home!”At this moment, my aunt spoke.
"Yes, go and see how many there are so that you can know!”the old man said.
"In-law, how much food do you want to buy? We'll pay half of it!”At this moment, the father-in-law of the Liu Family's eldest sister spoke.
"Yeah, we'll pay half." Brother-in-law Liu said.
The eldest sister of the Liu family did not say anything. After all, her family had a large population, and she had brought her in-laws and nephew over.
"Don't just stand there. Brother-in-law just bought some fruits. Everyone, eat the fruits first. There's no hurry!”My uncle came out to let everyone rest and eat some fruits before studying!
"Okay, this fruit looks good. There aren't many people selling fruit on the streets now. When we go out to buy vegetables, we only see three to five portions!”Uncle Liu said as he picked up a pear and ate it. The others also took one and ate it.
"Dad, I still have less than 50 catties of rice, 100 catties of noodles, and half a bag of bean noodles.”his aunt said as she came out of the kitchen.
There were so many people who could only eat these things for a few days!
"Then let's buy 200 catties of rice and 100 catties of noodles first! Don't buy those exquisite ones and buy cheap ones. We're here to avoid war, not to enjoy ourselves!”the old man said.
"Alright, it's settled then. Second Sister, see if there's anything you're lacking in oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar. We'll buy it together!”Liu family's eldest uncle said.
"Buy some! Is there a need to ask?" Granny Liu said.
"Sigh, then we'll go after everyone takes a break!”Uncle Liu returned.
"Brother, take these two taels of silver.”My aunt took out two pieces of silver from her purse.
"No need, I have it here. How can I let you take the money!”Liu's eldest uncle did not accept it.
"Aren't you afraid that it won't be enough? Take it first and give it to me if you don't need it!”My aunt insisted.
"No need, no need. Brother-in-law has some. Besides, didn't we agree that my family would pay half of it? It's enough." Brother-in-law Liu said.
They were going to buy food in a while! I have to go back and ask my mother. Otherwise, I won't be at ease.
"Uncle, I'm going back!" I whispered to my uncle who was not far away from me.
"Go back? Then bring some fruits back for your grandma and the others!”As he spoke, he went to take a small wooden basin and put some into it. I can't carry it even if it's not much!
I trotted back to the main courtyard with the fruit and rushed straight into the hall." Grandma, Grandma, I'm back. Mother, come out quickly!”
She placed the fruits on the table and quickly looked for my mother.
"What's wrong?" Grandma came out first.
"My mother? Something big happened!"
"What big matter? You're so anxious!" My mother followed Grandma out.
"Mother, let's buy some food! I heard from my uncle that the price of food has risen a lot. Should we buy some too?”I told my mother.
"Aiyo! Our Little Jia knows about the housekeeper now. She will definitely be a housekeeper in the future! Hahaha!" Grandpa's voice sounded!
"Grandpa? You're back!" It's really rare. These days, Grandpa and my father have been out doing things and won't come back until three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Today, he's back before lunchtime.
"Yes, I'm back. The matter is settled.”She told me that she was back, and she told my mother and grandmother that she was done.
Is this my father's job?
"Grandpa, grandpa, let's go buy food too! Uncle said that the price of grain had risen a lot now, and it would continue to rise in the future!”I told Grandpa.
"Little Jia, who told you that the grain price has risen?”Grandpa asked me.
"I heard it from my uncle's Liu family's First Uncle and First Uncle Liu! They had just returned from buying vegetables and some rice. They said that the price had almost doubled. They still had to buy that later! I thought that I had to come back quickly and tell Mom and Grandma that we should buy some too!”I said with my eyes wide open. (Pretending to be cute)*^_^*
"Father, shall we buy some?" My mother asked!
"The price of grain has risen now, and I heard that if the war is still so tense, there will be a restriction on the number of catties purchased! I saw someone buying food on the way back! He was also thinking of buying some. I came back to see how much stock there was at home.”Grandpa said.
"Then go to the backyard and take a look! Do you have the key?" Grandma said.
"It's with me. I'm going to take a look. Little Jia and Grandpa are going to take a look at the good stuff!”Grandpa said to me with a smile.
"Good!" I happily followed Grandpa out!
She followed her grandfather to the backyard. The backyard was very big, more than 500 square meters. The backyard was the main courtyard and the backyard of the left and right courtyards. However, her grandfather did not leave a door for the left and right courtyards to enter the backyard. If she wanted to enter the backyard, she had to come from the main courtyard.
There were many flowers planted in the backyard, mainly jasmine flowers. As soon as they entered the courtyard, the fragrance of jasmine flowers assailed their nostrils. Other than jasmine, there were also some rose flowers and thorny plum flowers. The thorny plum flowers were all planted on the edge of the wound! There were also a few houses in the northwest corner. It seemed to be the greenhouse that Grandpa had mentioned before. To the east, there was a kitchen, a firewood room, a utility room, a clean room, and so on. There were a few guest rooms to the south of the main room, a study room, and a workshop-like room for Grandpa. There was also a corridor in the backyard. There was a circle of corridors along the house that would not let any rain in during rainy days. It was also cool. The design was beautiful and practical.
Grandpa took me to his workshop. There were many wooden planks, iron pliers, iron sticks, carbon, and a small stove. It looked like a place for carpentry.
Grandpa walked to the corner and pulled open a cellar door. There was another cellar in the house!! The house was at the edge of the garden. It was perfect to have a cellar here.
Grandpa fixed the door, lit an oil lamp on the table, and pulled me down. It was very dark when he first entered. His eyes adapted to it for a while before he saw what was inside with the light of the oil lamp.
