NovelEnglish276 I’ll Just Take a Look, Not Buying
After Little Ah Yu confirmed her goal, her fighting spirit soared. Coincidentally, it was a rest day, so she immediately went to the grain and oil shop with her hands behind her back.
Tang Yuan hurriedly followed behind her.
“Little Master, where are you going? Let me talk to the Old Madam first!” Tang Yuan held an umbrella in one hand and a handkerchief in the other. She hurriedly followed behind Little Ah Yu and shouted.
“Sister Tang Yuan, I’m going to the shop to take a look. Let’s go together.” Little Ah Yu turned around and held Tang Yuan’s arm, happily walking towards the grain and oil shop.
The grain and oil shop was especially lively today. The shopkeeper was busy greeting everyone.
This was because their shop had recently added a new type of rice. Usually, one dan of husked rice cost nine coins, and if it was the higher quality ones, it would cost one tael.
Most families could not afford it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut now, the newly produced rice was clear and crystalline. One dan only cost one to two to three coins. And this was dehusked rice!
Not to mention that snow-white appearance. One look and one could tell that it was appetizing.
Many people with slightly richer backgrounds gathered in the grain and oil shop to buy it.
“This is rice from the south, right? I’ve never seen it before. It’s really beautiful!”
“It’s a little expensive, but yesterday, I bought a bucket of rice. Half of it was cooked into white rice and the other half was made into porridge. In a short while, they were all eaten up. The few people in our family are all picky about food. It can be seen that this rice is indeed different.”
“Isn’t that so? My paralyzed mother hasn’t been able to eat for the past few days, but she ate two bowls of porridge with this rice!”
“Speaking of which, I think the price is quite fair. Who doesn’t spend some money on rice?”
Everyone discussed loudly as they lined up to buy.
The shopkeeper at the side was already smiling so widely that his eyes could not be seen.
How could he not be happy about the money being thrown onto the counter?
Moreover, this rice came from Wanning City. It was quite cheap to buy.
It came from King Xiaoyao’s residence. Some time ago, they were investigated for secretly planting a crop of private grains. In order to avoid the scrutiny of the higher-ups, King Xiaoyao secretly sold all the rice they planted.
They were selling it for only 500 copper coins a catty! The shopkeeper happened to be in that area, so he bought most of it and transported it all the way to Nanhe Town. As expected, he made a killing.
The shopkeeper smiled and called out to everyone, “Everyone, don’t be anxious. Take your time. Our rice can still sustain sales for another 10 days. After 10 days, we’ll have to wait until next year!”
He did not know why the rice from King Xiaoyao’s Mansion came out so late, nor did he know if it would be sold to them next year.
But this did not stop him from using their words.
[Those rice have an aura unique to the spatial pocket on them. It’s not your spatial pocket.]
Little Ah Yu was a little unhappy. “Is there anyone else?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid the elf leave to work in those spatial pockets?
[What are you thinking? It’s someone else’s spatial pocket. This rice is nourished by the aura of the spatial pocket.]
What Meatball did not tell Little Ah Yu was that the reason why it felt familiar was because this spatial pocket aura had its smell.
It should be the spatial pocket that had been stripped away previously. There was spring water inside, but without Meatball maintaining it, the spring water would only become ordinary water in the end and would no longer have any function.
Moreover, spatial pockets would also collapse. The more water the host consumed, the faster the spatial pocket would collapse.
“Oh.” As soon as she heard that it was not her spatial pocket, Little Ah Yu lost interest.
“Little Master, what do you want to buy?” Tang Yuan asked from the side. “There are too many people here. I’ll help you buy it.”
It would not be good if the crowd pushed Ah Yu over.
Little Ah Yu leaned over to take a look and pouted. “We’ll buy more after these uncles and aunties leave.”
She saw that everyone was fighting to buy the rice. It was not even as good as the rice grown in their village.
She didn’t want to buy it.
And she didn’t have much money.
