Chapter 808: Prepare for winter and stock up on food
After releasing Qin Lang, Lu Qingqing looked at the thick cotton jacket on him.
What came to mind was the muscles just now.
His eyes unconsciously shifted away, and his ears, hidden under the thick hat, also turned red.
Qin Lang didn't know that someone had seen him working.
At this moment, I am still thinking that I should cherish the opportunity to be alone with Qingqing and cultivate our relationship.
He pushed Lu Qingqing back into the carriage and sat on the shaft to drive the carriage.
But the opportunity to cultivate feelings cannot be missed, so he tilted his head and talked to Qingqing in the carriage.
But he talked a lot, but Qingqing didn't respond at all.
I thought she wasn't interested, so I changed the subject.
But even after changing the topic several times, she only responded indifferently.
Feeling disappointed, someone sighed and sat quietly in the car.
Fortunately, the carriage returned to Toyama Town not long after.
According to their previous plan, the two went to the grocery store first.
They saw that the shopkeeper had already packed out the things they had asked for.
When the two men arrived at the door, they warmly welcomed them in.
I told them what the two of them wanted and how much stock they had of each.
Among them, there were a few items that were in low stock and the quantity was not enough for them.
Lu Qingqing took the paper covered with words from the shopkeeper and read it through.
She had basically everything she wanted, and even the few things she was missing, she had plenty in her space.
He immediately took out his wallet and paid.
After receiving the money, the grocery store owner called his family out and started loading the goods onto the carriage.
Among them, Qin Lang and the grocery store owner's sons were the main force in moving goods.
They worked hard to load the things up, and the carriage was almost half full.
The two men said goodbye to the grocery store owner and his family, and turned to go to a grain store not far away.
At this moment, the door of the grain shop was half-open.
After Lu Qingqing entered, she met the younger brother of the shopkeeper Qian Shao.
She had seen this person before, but she couldn't remember which one he was.
Fortunately, before she could speak, the man smiled and said to her:
"Brother Lu, you're looking for my eldest brother, right? I'll go call him!"
Then he ran to the stairs and shouted upstairs:
"Brother, Brother Lu is coming, come down quickly!"
After shouting only twice, I heard the sound of someone coming down the stairs.
Shopkeeper Qian went down halfway, bent down to take a look, and seeing that it was really Lu Qingqing, he smiled and said:
"Brother Lu, why are you here in such a cold weather?"
As he spoke, he seemed to think of something and said:
"Are you here to ask about the firewood?
I asked many households, and they said firewood is really not available for purchase right now.
Even if there are people willing to sell, there won’t be much left at home.
That little bit of firewood is not enough to make a fuss!"
Before he finished speaking, the man had already come down to the lobby and greeted:
"Brother Lu, Brother Qin, come, sit down quickly!"
Lu Qingqing pulled Qin Lang to the table and sat down, then said:
“Shopkeeper Qian, firewood is hard to find, so forget it.
I came here today to buy some more food."
Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Qian was a little surprised.
They had just arrived in Fushan Town a few days ago and bought a lot of food.
Now, I want to buy it again, although I don’t know why.
But his family runs a grain store, so there is naturally no reason for him not to sell it.
This time he didn't ask any more questions, but instead introduced the types and prices of food in the store again.
Lu Qingqing picked out the better ones and bought another 800 kilograms.
Of course, these 800 kilograms were bought for Old Man Zhuang and Sun Yue.
As for the food for her and Qin Lang, when they come to load the food, they can just put it directly from the space into the carriage.
After ordering the food, she paid directly and agreed to come and pick up the food in a quarter of an hour.
Shopkeeper Qian Shao collected the weighed silver and money and sent the two away with a smile.
Behind them, the third brother watched the two walk away and asked in confusion:
"Brother, why are they buying so much food?
What we bought last time was enough for them to eat for several months.
I bought so much this time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish it in a year! ”
Shopkeeper Qian shook his head.
"You still don't see enough people.
This little brother Lu is a very insightful person.
He must have had a reason for buying food.
In this way, you can call the second and fourth brothers and prepare the food he wants first.
In addition, our family had previously saved some food for ourselves.
It seems that it is not enough.
Call our dad and let’s go to the granary to take a look.
If not, then leave another 1,000 jin."
When the third brother heard about a thousand pounds, he was surprised:
“One thousand pounds?
Brother, why do we keep so much food?
The price of food this year is not cheap!
These days, people in the town continue to come to buy food.
We earn money for every copy we sell!
Dad said that we can’t push this business away!
If you give away this thousand kilograms of grain, don't let the rest be insufficient to sell!"
Shopkeeper Qian Shao closed the door, moved closer and whispered:
"What are you yelling about? Are you afraid that no one can hear you? What's going on?
I tell you, this year might be even harder than the previous two years.
Then these foods can save our family’s lives!
Okay, stop standing there and call the second, fourth, and fifth brothers to work."
After Manager Qian finished making the arrangements, he went upstairs to discuss it with his father.
Their grain shop is too conspicuous, if things really get chaotic.
Their grain shop was the first one to have an accident!
No, we have to find another place to hide the food.
If things really get chaotic, the whole family can go there and hide.
By the way, there is also the coal. It will be fine for Brother Lu to use it.
He would also find time to go to the brick kiln and ask the manager to buy some individually.
He bought the goods from the manager without even asking for the purchase price.
All the money paid will be the private account of the manager.
After thinking it over, I decided to make another trip this afternoon.
Take advantage of the few people at night and pull it back yourself.
Lu Qingqing didn't know that her stockpiling of food had made the shopkeeper Qian Shao think a lot.
When she and Qin Lang returned to the courtyard, the stable was still under construction.
