The family's food was all accounted for, and Cheng Jinzhou didn't want to leave the food purchase to the people, so he went out of the second door and walked out.

Shimo and Shiyan were both following behind. When they were about to go out, Cheng Jinzhou stopped and waved, "Come here."

Shimo was also the newly changed book boy after Cheng Jinzhou recovered from his illness. He was only fourteen or five years old, but he was extremely sensible. He took two steps at a time and trotted over and said, "San brother, it's cool outside."

Cheng Jinzhou ignored him and said, "Go out to buy something, you can go and prepare the car."

According to the education of this era, it is the right way to be young and mature, and Dr. Cheng's actual age is not obvious - he has never left school and has never grown up completely.

Shimo colored the book boy next to him, turned around and ran out.

While walking towards the door, Cheng Jinzhou asked by the way: "Shiyan, do you know how much grain you can make in one acre of land?"

"On ordinary slopes, it's like five stones."

Farming and Swallows are the foundation. Even if a servant who works in the mansion saves money and gets rewards, the first thing he does is to buy land. However, the legitimate sons of aristocratic families like Cheng Jinzhou rarely really care about specific farming and Swallows.

There are two types per year, and only 150 kilograms of grain per acre of land is produced. Even if it is paddy fields, it is at most three or four times the gap. The gap with modern agriculture is huge, which is the standard between the Tang and Song dynasties. The charlatans need 720 kilograms of grain at a time, which is almost enough for a family of three to chew for a year.

Cheng Jinzhou nodded and said nothing. He had never really lacked money in his past or present life, and he had no guilt at all for spending money and food.

...

Shaonan is not a big city, and the Cheng family is located in the center of the entire city, next to it is the prefect's yamen and the temple of the prefecture.

Of course, shops, workshops, etc. are still inevitably separated by several streets. Although the entire Daxia Dynasty did not assign business to a lowly business, discrimination was certain.

Cheng Jinzhou was sitting in a creaking two-wheeled carriage and quietly came out of the back door. The two book boys Shimo and Shiyan followed behind the carriage, with a scent of stealing bells.

Going eastward, the carriages were traveling very quickly. When pedestrians, chariots and horses saw the word "Cheng" on the carriage, most of them hid away like police cars. In the entire southeast, the Cheng family might be considered a wealthy family, but in Shaonan City, the Cheng family could be said to be a cover of the sky. It is not an exaggeration to say that Shaonan City is the Cheng family. The prefect of this prefect is Cheng Jinzhou's father. The Privy Council commands military commanders with civil servants, and the chief minister has to appoint the Cheng family. Even the archbishop of the temple and the uncle of Cheng Jinzhou, not to mention countless middle and low-level officials.

Because of this background, the Cheng family does not do business, and one-third of the industries in the city also belong to the Cheng family. The Cheng family does not work in farming, and one-third of the manors outside the city still have the word "Cheng" in front of them.

Cheng Jinzhou enjoyed this privilege quite a lot, opened the window and looked outside. With the creaking of the second-wheeled carriage, there were two book children's breathing and footsteps of varying degrees.

The Cheng family is very strict. No matter where there is a place in the car, there is no reason why the master and servant share the same car - the other world is so bad.

"Stay." The coachman gently pulled the reins and the carriage slowly stopped in front of a grain store with the "Huo" flag. Since he wanted to buy grain, he naturally could not go to the Cheng family's shop.

Cheng Jinzhou jumped down, his famous body was weak, and his two book children were so shocked that their faces turned pale, and they said repeatedly like twins: "Third brother, you can't do it."

"You won't change something new, you can't do it every day..." Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand, raised his head and opened the curtain and walked in.

The shopkeeper of the grain store was originally sitting high in the inner room. He saw Cheng Jinzhou's clothing in a blink of an eye. He jumped off his high chair and quickly stepped forward and said, "This is my master. Our Huo Family Grain Store specializes in rice, flour, grain and oil. What do you want to order?"

According to the standard, only clergy, astral warlock, gentry with title or fame, and their families, as well as various officials in the church are qualified to wear silk. The so-called silk is 14 products including silk, silk, silk, satin, spinning, crepe, yarn, etc. Among them, silk is the most strictly controlled. No matter how rich the family wealth is, ordinary wealth only dares to wear it at home. Those who can be worn on children are all lord families.

Cheng Jinzhou was used to the service of "customers are God" and indifferently "surveyed" around and said, "What kind of food is the best sold here?"

On weekdays, ordinary customers come to the store, and the shopkeeper will definitely not be able to sit down. At this moment, I will be careful and said: "It is the best selling white noodles. Our famous fine white noodles in the Huo family is very comfortable to put in the palm of your hand. Cooked food, noodles, soup cakes, and cold noodles are all sold well."

"Is the white flour ground from wheat?" Cheng Jinzhou confirmed that many things in the Daxia Dynasty were similar to the original one, but not exactly the same, such as the traditional Chinese characters that were equally beautiful and complex but difficult to identify.

"Yes." The shopkeeper answered honestly, not daring to laugh at Cheng Jinzhou's ignorance. In fact, there is nothing funny. It is the most normal thing for children from aristocratic families to be inseparable from grains.

Cheng Jinzhou was also indifferent. He wanted to chase and ask about the price, but then he thought, "Shopkeeper, please open a list for me and write down all the various grains and prices in your store clearly. Let's do it now."

He suddenly realized that there were too many varieties of grain stores in this era. Just one type of grain, the samples were all placed so long as the wall. Even if he asked, he would probably not remember them.

Rather than trying hard on your own, it is better to let others suffer trouble.

The shopkeeper enjoyed Cheng Jinzhou's "trouble" very much, and immediately responded, and wrote the order obediently, without worrying about the price being leaked. The price of the grain store is the most reasonable, but it is the market with different days. In contrast, he cares more about Cheng Jinzhou's identity.

Unfortunately, Dr. Cheng didn't stay for long. After reading the list, he called the guy over and said, "Prepare 20 shi for me each of brown rice and wheat. In addition, the cheaper sorghum can also make 20 shi."

The price of sorghum is nearly half cheaper, and it is the best if the animals in the Covenant are willing to.

20 stone brown rice costs 4 taels of silver, and wheat is cheaper, not too much. In addition, sorghum, a ingot of silver was spent. The Shimo Shiyan behind him was secretly shocked. They were given second-class wages, only one tael of silver a month. Before following Cheng Jinzhou, they didn't even see much silver.

The shopkeeper didn't expect that he didn't return to Jinzhou for a while.

In any era, food is strategic materials, and this is even more so in this era of astrology.

Because in order to withstand a stronger star array, astral warriors need a stronger body - for many poor talented astral warriors, increasing their body surface area is a perfect way to cheat. For a country, the more money the country is, the stronger the country's strength is.

To some extent, the government needs more food to feed more strong fat people.

Cheng Jinzhou didn't understand, but the book boy behind him knew very well. Before the shopkeeper could speak, he said first: "San brother, the court rules, the food transactions exceed 50 shi, and you must report to the yamen to know."

"So troublesome?" Cheng Jinzhou was stunned.

The shopkeeper still smiled and said, "The court has the rules of the court. I don't know what this young master calls me. Let's give you 40 stones of rice flour and 5 stones of sorghum noodles. It's almost the end of the month. If you don't rush to use it, we will send another batch next month."

With just one sentence, the shopkeeper said everything he wanted to say, and he also wanted to sell twice as much.

Cheng Jinzhou actually doesn't care about reporting to the yamen. Shaonan's biggest yamen is his father, but there is no need to let a shopkeeper know about this, so he ordered: "Don't grind the noodles, the rice is brown rice, and wheat and sorghum should be whole. Then let's do it. The things are delivered to the Cheng Mansion in Baila Lane in the west of the city. Can they be delivered before dinner?" God knows what aliens want food, so he doesn't do thankless things.

"Don't worry." The shopkeeper himself felt relieved. Baihuan Lane in the west of the city, the entire street is a villa in Chengfu. In the past, when there were big banquets for guests, it was used to entertain guests.

Those who work in grain businesses are not afraid of filing in the yamen. They are only afraid of unidentified buyers. But in Shaonan, who has a more prominent identity than the Cheng family?

As for why the Cheng family didn't pick up goods in the Cheng family's own shop, the shopkeeper didn't want to explore the story in the mansion.

After walking out of the Huo family's store, Cheng Jinzhou threw a ingot of silver to Shimo and said, "Go to another family to buy some wheat and rice and send it to you. I'll wait for you in another courtyard. If you want to register, leave it to the store to do it."

Shimo hesitated for a moment and ran away.

90 stones are about 45 stars, which is only 22,500 words for buying books. With the random probability, Cheng Jinzhou is not optimistic about the final result.

Fortunately, I was born in the wealthy Chengfu. If I change to a poor family, I might have to pawn the rings on my hand, let alone the food that I had eaten for several years.
