Chapter 37: Buying

"Alright, Miss. Take care. I'll give you a discount the next time you come here!"

"Thanks!"

Zhao Yun 'er carried the basket on her back and walked out of the grocery store. She then went to other places to see if there was anything else she wanted to buy.

It was her first time coming to a place like this. She had only seen it on television before. Now that she was here, she felt that it was a novel experience. She glanced left and right.

She had not yet eaten breakfast, walked for a long time, caught a thief, and now carried something on her back. She felt that she was exhausted. When she reached a snack stall, Zhao Yun 'er prepared to buy something to fill her stomach.

"Boss, how much is this bun?" Zhao Yun 'er asked.

The boss chuckled and said, "Miss, this vegetable bun is one copper coin for two, and one meat bun is one copper coin for one."

Zhao Yun 'er nodded. After conversion, it was about the same as the prices in the 21st century.

Thus, she called out to the boss of the bun shop, "Boss, give me two vegetable buns and six meat buns."

"Alright ~" The boss chuckled in response. Then, he took a piece of butter paper and wrapped the buns together before handing it to Zhao Yun 'er. "Miss, these are the buns you wanted. Take them."

When Zhao Yun 'er took them, she handed over seven copper coins.

She only needed to eat two vegetable buns. The meat buns were for Doudou and her two younger brothers.

The ancient era was not like the modern era. There were very few opportunities to eat meat. They might not even be able to eat it once in a few months. For those who were not well-off, they could only eat it during the new year. Therefore, meat buns were definitely considered a luxury in the countryside.

After eating two vegetable buns, Zhao Yun 'er was finally not very hungry.

Then, she went to the market and bought some pork. Pork was fifteen copper coins per catty. Zhao Yun 'er bought one catty and some large bones.

Ancient times were different from modern times. Modern people bought bones to make bone soup to nourish their bodies, but ancient people liked to buy pork. The fatter the pork, the better. This was because ancient people used too little oil when cooking. There was a lot of lard in the fatty meat, so they liked the greasy feeling more.

In this way, there wasn't much oil or meat on the bones, so the price was only three copper coins per catty.

As she was walking back, she passed by a shop. There were all kinds of snacks and pastries in the shop. They looked very exquisite and had a faint fragrance.

Before coming out, Zhao Yun 'er promised to bring some good food for the children to eat. It wouldn't be bad to buy these snacks.

After entering the shop and asking around, Zhao Yun 'er found that the price of these snacks and pastries was much higher than other things in this era.

Under normal circumstances, only the wealthy or well-off families in the city could afford it.

A good box of pastries cost a few taels of silver, and even the worst ones cost a few hundred copper coins.

After walking around, Zhao Yun 'er bought some candies. Children loved to eat candies, so the price of these candies was within her acceptable range. One catty was twenty-five copper coins. Zhao Yun'er asked the shop owner to wrap one catty in butter paper and bring it back.

After buying everything, she returned to Old Man Hu's cart. There were not many people there yet.

Old Man Hu smiled kindly at Zhao Yun'er. "Girl, you sold these things so quickly?"

"Yes!"

"Your basket is full. You must have bought a lot of things!"

"After selling things, exchanging some money, I bought some food."
