Capítulo 19: Prices Are Starting to Increase

Editor: Atlas Studios

She happily took the money and left.

"Manager, why did you offer 80 copper coins for this snake meat? Hasn't it always been 60 copper coins?" Xiao Si asked after he saw An Jiuyue leave.

"What do you know?"

Manager Lin rolled his eyes at him.

"This snake has been handled well. It doesn't have any skin or intestines left. Besides, even if the snake was not handled as well, we have to take care of Old Tu's daughter on account of him, right?"

He had reaped many benefits from Old Tu in the past. Now that Old Tu was gone, it was only right to show consideration for his daughter.

She was a woman with two sons, and it must be difficult for her. Hence, he decided to help her out a little now as if accumulating merit for himself!

After An Jiuyue left the restaurant, she went straight to the provision store. She also had to go to the grain store afterwards to spend all the money she had earned.

Her cute children said that there wasn't much salt left in the house, so she had to buy some. She couldn't be stingy with it.

An Jiuyue went all-out and bought two and a half kilograms of salt, spending 250 copper coins in one go. It left the shop assistant stunned.

He had never seen anyone purchase two and a half kilograms of salt at once. Other than the wealthy families in town, the other commoners would only purchase half a kilogram of salt each time—and they would always still be reluctant to do so.

He had really never seen anyone purchase two and a half kilograms of salt at once.

On the other hand, An Jiuyue also muttered to herself. This salt is really expensive! Half a kilogram is enough to buy five kilograms of white rice. No wonder there isn't pickled vegetables here. You need salt to pickle vegetables. Who will be willing to waste such expensive salt?

An Jiuyue left the provision store and went to an empty place to put the salt into her space. Then, she headed for the pork stall.

Similarly, she bought ten kilograms of pork fat, which cost ten copper coins per half a kilogram, and spent 200 copper coins. The stall owner looked at her as if she was a monster, but he also looked like he was about to present incense and offerings to her as if she was his ancestor.

"Miss, is there anything else you would like? I'll cut it for you."

The stall owner asked enthusiastically when he saw that An Jiuyue was still surveying his stall.

"Uncle, do you sell pig blood and pig offal?"

An Jiuyue thought about it and realized that she did not have enough money. Instead of purchasing pork, she had decided on something cheaper.

"These things are cheap. If you want them, I'll sell the pig offal to you for five copper coins per set. We have three sets here. Do you want all of them? As for the pig blood, I'll scoop as much as you want. I won't charge you for it," the stall owner said.

The pig offal was usually sold at restaurants for five copper coins per set, while the pig blood was usually sold with the pork anyway.

An Jiuyue took out 15 copper coins from her purse and handed them to the stall owner. After the stall owner packed the pig offal and placed it in her bamboo basket, she left.

She spent a total of 465 copper coins at the two stores within one trip.

"Why do I feel that this silver is not worth spending?"

She sighed and shook her head, making her way to the grain store.

She was worried that there might be a flood. Since the food stored in her space would not spoil, she splurged once again when she arrived at the grain store.

However, as there had been speculations of an incoming flood, the prices of grain in town had already started to increase.

She purchased 60 kilograms of brown rice for four copper coins per half a kilogram and another 60 kilograms of white rice for six copper coins per half a kilogram.

She also purchased 60 kilograms of flour for five copper coins per half a kilogram, 15 kilograms of soybean for five copper coins per half a kilogram, and 20 kilograms of cornmeal for three copper coins per half a kilogram.

Not only did she spend all the money she had just earned on this trip, but she also had to fork out over a hundred copper coins extra.

"Miss… Miss, you've bought so much food. How are you going to bring them home?" The shop assistant in the grain store stared at An Jiuyue, a young lady who had just purchased 215 kilograms of food. He was dumbfounded.

Although he was happy to sell so much food in a single purchase, he was uncertain if a weak young lady like her could carry so much food.

Moreover, it was still pouring.

"It's fine. Help me to place it outside the door first. My family will come and get it soon," An Jiuyue said to the shop assistant.

She had noticed a tucked-away spot outside the grain store before she entered. That spot was also dry enough to place the grain there for a while.

She could wait for the people around her to be distracted, before putting the grain into her space and leaving quickly.

The shop assistant believed her and packed all the rice and flour she bought into individual bags. The brown rice and white rice were packed into 30-kilogram bags, and there were four bags in total. The flour was packed into 15-kilogram bags, and there were also four bags. The soybeans were loaded into a bag, while the cornmeal was separated into two.

All the bags were carried to the place An Jiuyue specified. The shop assistant even placed a few sacks underneath the bags as he was concerned about the moisture.

An Jiuyue watched the shop assistant leave, and after confirming that there was no one around a few moments later, she placed the items into her space and headed home.

After some time, the owner of the grain store emerged from the back, and the shop assistant told him about what happened.

"Don't you find it strange though, boss? I've never seen anyone buy so much grain. Is she storing up for the new year? But it's only the beginning of spring!"

"What do you know?"

The boss rolled his eyes at him.

"It's been raining for so many days. Who knows how much longer this darn rain will continue? We don't even know if the Cascade River will burst its banks one day.

"Things may not be too bad for us here, but the villages in the west rely on the Cascade River to earn a living. If anything happens to the river, they'll be finished.

"How will they survive if they don't stock up more food now? Our grain prices have increased after all."

"But it doesn't make sense to store that much anyway," muttered the shop assistant.

Besides, what's the point of storing so much grain? They'll go bad if they are soaked from the rain, and all the money will go to waste.

However, he was not the one wasting money, so he was not too bothered.

After An Jiuyue hurried back from town, she did not return home directly. She headed for the village, where her household was registered, and knocked on the door of the Chief's house.

"Oh, aren't you Jiuyue from Old Tu's family? What are you doing here in this heavy rain?"

The Chief's wife had braved the rain to open the door. She was extremely displeased to see An Jiuyue at the door. She asked scornfully as she ran her snobbish eyes over An Jiuyue.

An Jiuyue had two sons and was a widow.

But she had a face so beautiful it could charm any man. Many young men in the village were eager to marry her and become the stepfather to her sons!
