Lady Gu 10,000 Years

Yu Wan was busy with her affairs and knew nothing about the chef from White Jade Restaurant. When the ingredients were sold out, he discovered that the Yu brothers' crucian carp had not been sold. He walked over and asked the two brothers, “Sister, Second Brother, do you want to sell it on my kiosk?” Although their carpets were rather small, they were still wild. They should be able to sell it quickly while he still has customers.
“Not needed.” Yu Song rejected it without thinking. His tone is not very good.
However, Yu Wan did not appear to be angry. He smiled and said, “I'll finish it now. There's nothing more to do. Do you need my help here?
Sold out? The two brothers were stunned. They looked towards Yu Wan's stall and saw that his basket and wooden bucket were completely empty. Compared to those on their side, the two brothers were embarrassed. How could two adult men be inferior to a young woman?
“Please and do what you need to do. Go home early after work.” Yu Feng did not want to stay with him.
“We left Mom at home. We really should be back early.” Yu Wan nodded and said to the two of them, “I'll buy some stuff and come back after I'm done.”
“Ya,” replied Yu Feng indifferently. Someone had come to buy yams, so he left on business and ignored Yu Wan.
Yu Wan seemed to be very used to her cold demeanor. He did not bother her and left with his usual expression.
Yu Feng accepted the money and handed the sweet potato over to the person. He glanced at Yu Wan's back from the corner of his eyes and a complicated look flashed across his eyes.
…
The harvest today is not bad. Fifteen wild goldfish and over twenty kati winter shoots were sold for a total of five hundred eleven copper coins. It's already half a tael of silver. Although it was not comparable to his salary in his previous life, as the world's first golden bucket, Yu Wan was still quite satisfied.
Yu Wan tidied up the cooking utensils, stuffed them into a large basket on his back, and carried Little Bruiser to the market.
There are many things he needs to buy. Most can be bought in the market, such as soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar. The brown sugar here is actually twice as expensive as white sugar. Thinking of Madam Jiang's body, Yu Wan gritted her teeth and bought it. There were still corn noodles at home, so Yu Wan bought five pounds of rice.
Yu Wan wanted to buy meat for her family. He thought lean meat was too expensive and it would be best if they could eat a little fat. However, after asking, he realized that fatty meat was no cheaper than lean meat.
“You bought two pounds of fatty meat, and I will give you lean meat,” the butcher said without hesitation.
Yu Wan : “...” Shouldn't you give me fat meat if I buy lean meat?
In the end, Yu Wan kept buying three pounds of fatty meat, mainly not to satisfy his cravings, but rather to purify the oil.
The only vegetable oil in this era was sesame oil, which was the same as sesame oil from his previous life. It is commonly known as sesame oil. The price of sesame oil was too high, so an ordinary person like him could not afford it. Thinking of it like this, there was a reason why fatty meat was expensive.
Salt is more expensive than oil.
Salt was not sold in the market, so he had to go to the salt shop to buy it.
Yu Wan asked the location of the salt shop. It was located on a street in the Lotus Flower City, and it took him less than five minutes to walk there.
After entering the Lotus Flower City, everything became orderly. There were no more oil shacks or straw huts on either side of the road. There are shops with green bricks and red tiles, smooth roads, and crowded streets. Even the clothes of the pedestrians became classy.
“Wow! Waw! Wow...” Little Bruiser was so shocked that he couldn't even be chatty anymore.
“Kue Osmanthus—a fragrant and sweet osmanthus—” The loud voice of the seller is heard from across.
Little Bruiser had just eaten until he was full, so he did not feel hungry. However, when he smelled the sweet scent, he could not help but gulp down his saliva.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “I'll buy it for you later.”
“I... I... I don't want to eat osmanthus cake!” Little Bruiser said, stomping his feet.
Yu Wan teases, “I didn't say I bought osmanthus cake for you.”
Her little face was red.
“We are here,” Yu Wan said as she looked at the salt shop ahead.
“Then let's quickly enter!” Little Bruiser, who knew that he would soon be able to eat the osmanthus cake, excitedly grabbed his sister's hand and jumped into the store!
This salt shop is an official store. The main hall is very luxurious. Other than salt, there was nothing else.
“Nona Bai has wronged us. We always sell salt from the same place. The salt we send you is all salt of the highest quality. I have never sold lesser salt!”
“Do you think I believe you ?!” The girl in yellow and hooded dress was so angry that she threw a bag of salt at the table.
Dare to be so arrogant in the official shop, the young girl's background was not simple. Yu Wan did not step forward to get into trouble. She held her brother's hand and silently looked at the salt beside him.
The girl sparred with the shopkeeper for a while longer, but she did not bring a bag of salt with her. “I don't care! I don't want this salt! Do as you wish!” With that, the young girl left angrily. When he passed Yu Wan, he stopped in his tracks and reminded with a grumble, “Salt here is very bad. If I were you, I would go to the Capital to buy it!
No one knows who he is talking to.
Yu Wan shook her head. She was a village girl who could not even afford to eat white rice and had no choice but to make a living on her own. Does he care if the salt taste good or not? Even if the girl was making a raft, she shouldn't be looking for someone as unsightly as her. This girl could not remain calm and did not have good judgment.
The old shopkeeper changed his fawning expression in front of the young girl and casually knocked the abacus on the counter. “Middle grade salt is thirty copper coins, first grade salt is sixty copper coins.”
“How much is it?” ask Yu Wan.
The old shopkeeper did not even lift his eyelids as he tapped on the small bowl on the table.
Yu Wan took a quick look. It's not even half a pound. He could finish it in a month, and he had to eat sparingly. And the quality of this salt was indeed as the girl had said. It was so bad that it was outrageous.
However, there was nothing he could do. Salt is in the hands of the government. The most refined salt was naturally sent to high officials and nobles. The salt that was handed over to the commoners had a lower quality but the value was not the same.
After Yu Wan bought two pounds of second-rate salt, he only had the remaining about four hundred copper coins.
Then, Yu Wan bought two pairs of cotton shoes for Little Bruiser and Madame Jiang and spent a hundred copper coins.
Yu Wan planned to use the remaining copper coins to buy some hunting tools. As he passed through the apothecary with Little Bruiser, he heard Yu Feng's voice.
“I only have this much for now. Can you let me take the medicine back first and pay you another day? I'm a regular customer of your store, You don't have to worry about me reneging on my debt.. ”.
The healer roughly said, “That won't work! You guys haven't even paid the debt last time, and you want to credit it again! How could there be such a good thing? It's the end of the year, you have to pay off the bill immediately!”
Yu Feng clenched his fists. “But my father is waiting..”
“You don't have to say anything! I'm not going to give you any more credit!
“My father really...”
The healer interrupted Yu Feng impatiently: “And I really didn't sell!” As soon as he finished speaking, the delicate hand of a young girl reached out and casually poured down a bag of copper coins.
“Is this enough?” He poured it out nonstop.
Yu Feng and Yu Song looked at him simultaneously. Yu Feng's face turned slightly red.
The medicine boy counted the copper coins on the table and clicked his lips. “Medicine today is enough, but credit in advance..”.
“Then prepare the medicine today first. I'll give it to you in three days.
“Aiya, I cannot..”.
“With flowers.”
The physician boy looked at Yu Wan.
Yu Wan measured from head to toe, but she showed no signs of panic. He said calmly, “I'll give you the capital, and I'll also give you the interest. If I don't give you money in three days, I'll go to the authorities with you.”
“You're crazy!” Yu Feng grabbed his arm. “Do you know how much it costs?”
Yu Wan did not answer. Instead, he smiled faintly and asked, “Then, can Uncle's medicine be stopped?”
Yu Feng clenched his fists tightly.
