Chapter 109 Order Cassava Flour
Along the way, Shen Wanning took the initiative to ask about cassava flour.
"By the way, I heard yesterday that you guys still have a lot of tapioca flour at home. I wonder if you'd be willing to sell it?"
The stock at home is only enough for two or three months. If we don’t buy some, it will be gone by autumn.
"Cassava flour? Why are you asking this, young lady? Can't cassava be easily dug up outside? Why do we have to pay for it?" The naive woman from yesterday asked first.
"My elders have bad teeth and love cassava very much. Unfortunately, cassava is difficult to store, so I have to buy some cassava flour and cook it at home for them." Shen Wanning made up an excuse.
An older woman standing nearby praised him, "You're a filial child despite being young. I have some cassava flour at home. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for two cents per pound."
"There was a severe drought a few days ago, and cassava is difficult to dig. It also takes a lot of effort to dry it and make cassava flour. I don't want my sister-in-law to suffer a loss, so I might as well offer her five cents as a discount. If any of her relatives need to sell anything, they can sell it to me as well," Shen Wanning said gently.
"What? Five cents? Brown rice is only five cents per pound, and a pound of cassava flour can be sold for five cents? My daughter, you must not know the prices and are deliberately fooling your sister-in-law!" The old woman opened her eyes wide and then curled her lips.
"Sister-in-law, I am absolutely serious about this. If you are willing to sell it, just send it to Mingyue Tower in Qinghe County. The owner of that store is my relative, and I will go there to help occasionally. I will buy as much as you have!" Shen Wanning promised.
The couple's younger brother was a little excited, twisting and turning on the stool, "Are you serious, young lady? I have at least 50 kilograms at home. Will you take them all?"
"Collect, collect them all!" Shen Wanning responded firmly.
The naive young lady looked at Shen Wanning for a few times and continued to ask, "Do you have so much money? You don't look like a lady from a wealthy family! Where can you get so much money to buy tapioca flour?"
When she asked this question, everyone stared at Shen Wanning, wanting to get an answer.
For convenience, Shen Wanning has been wearing a short shirt and pants since she arrived in ancient times. This is mainly because long skirts in ancient times were inconvenient, so it's understandable that her outfit makes people doubt her strength.
Shen Wanning nodded. "Since I mentioned it that way, of course I do. Although our family isn't wealthy, my brothers and sisters all care deeply about our parents and take pleasure in their happiness."
The woman thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go back after I buy the seeds. I'll tell my family and I'll deliver the cassava flour to Mingyue Tower in Qinghe County soon."
"Mingyue Tower is the most popular shop in Qinghe County recently. I believe this young lady will not lie to us." The old woman's husband nodded and said.
After they agreed, the rest of the group also expressed their opinions. "I'll stay in Fuzhou for two days. After I attend my cousin's wedding, I'll go back. I'll definitely deliver the cassava flour to Mingyue Tower then."
"My home is in Qinghe County. I will be able to deliver the cassava flour there the day after tomorrow."
Shen Wanning nodded. "Okay, I'll keep my word. I'll take whatever cassava flour you have."
Because of this incident, the people in the car were in high spirits and chatted a lot along the way.
When they were about to get off the bus, the old woman actually took Shen Wanning's hand and asked, "Girl, are you engaged? How old are you now?"
Shen Wanning was a little embarrassed and gently withdrew her hand. "My mother has already arranged it for me. Thank you for your kindness, sister-in-law."
The sister-in-law looked regretful. "What a wonderful girl! We have found her! Alas, what a pity..."
As soon as they arrived outside Fuzhou, Shen Wanning paid and quickly got off the carriage. She was most afraid of people asking her about these personal matters. Whenever this happened, she always felt that she could not withstand the enthusiasm of these women.
After getting off the carriage, you can still see many people queuing at the city gate. But this time is different from the previous time when entering Qinghe County. Last time, you had to queue up to pay the entrance fee. This time, you have to take your household registration documents to the city gate guards for inspection before you can enter. This is done to prevent refugees from pouring into Fuzhou.
Looking at the household registration documents put away in the express station, she couldn't help but sigh that it was fortunate that County Magistrate He helped her solve the household registration problem, otherwise she would not be able to enter Fuzhou City now.
Shen Wanning lined up at the back and slowly entered Fuzhou City. Fuzhou was indeed different from Qinghe County. Even the city walls were much higher than Qinghe County.
Entering the city, there are constant pedestrians on the streets. Some are carrying loads on their shoulders, some are delivering goods in ox carts, some are pulling goods in donkey carts, and some are stopping to admire the scenery... There are houses lined up on both sides of the street, including teahouses, wineries, butcher shops, temples, etc., which is a prosperous scene.
Walking on the street, Shen Wanning looked around. Although she had lived in ancient times for a while, she was still amazed when she saw such a prosperous scene!
Like Shen Wanning, the netizens in the livestream room looked around curiously. Although they had seen ancient scenes on TV, they could never compare to the real ancient times.
Many farmers were selling wild fruits on the street, including sea buckthorn, jackfruit, wax gourd, etc. Shen Wanning bought some of each and threw them directly into the express station for netizens to draw.
The further we walked, the more we saw. After walking for a while, we saw some stalls selling beetroot and pumpkin seeds. Every stall selling seeds was crowded with people.
She can buy it from netizens in the live broadcast room at any time, so there is no need for her to compete with those people.
On the way, she stopped a friendly-looking old woman. "Grandma, do you know where I can buy tea saplings?"
Grandma turned and pointed behind her, "Go straight ahead on this road until you reach a clothing store called Linglong Pavilion. You'll see a wide alley. Exit the alley and you'll see a vendor selling tea saplings."
"Okay, thank you, mother-in-law, thank you for your trouble." Shen Wanning bowed her head to thank her and walked along the path her mother-in-law said.
After only a few steps, she smelled a fragrant aroma. The smell rushed straight into her head, making her stop in her tracks. She looked over and saw that it was a roast duck restaurant, serving roast duck.
Such delicious food, of course, must be shared with netizens. She walked to the stall and said, "Boss, I want ten roast ducks."
The boss looked up with eyes wide open. "Ten? Can you finish them all, little girl? The weather is not good for storing them now. Why don't you buy one first and eat it later!"
Shen Wanning smiled and shook her head. "I want ten. I have a lot of relatives at home, so I'll buy some and share them with everyone."
"Then please wait a moment, little girl. I only have six roast ducks here. We have to wait for the next batch to be finished." The stall owner responded and turned the roast duck over.
"Okay, how much is one? I'll pay first and come back later to pick it up, okay?"
"Yes, of course. A roast duck is thirty wen, so three hundred wen in total."
