Chapter 295: Brother 2 You are awesome and you know how to buy cheap stuff. I thought you only knew
After leaving Caiyunhui, Yun Duo went to the grocery store, which was not far from the inn where they parked the carriage. Yun Duo said to the four Yunwei: "The four of you should send the things in your hands to the carriage first, and then drive the carriage over. We will go to the dock later. My mother and I will wait for you at the grocery store in front."
"Master, I am worried about you and your wife being here. Please come with us to the inn first!"
"This place is so close to the restaurant, don't worry, it's okay. I still need to go to the grocery store to buy some things, you guys just go and come back quickly."
"Yes," the four of them quickened their pace and walked towards the inn.
Yun Duo entered the grocery store and picked up some items. Then, she told the busy clerk in the store: "Please help me deliver these things to the small door next to your store where the carriage can be parked." The clerk nodded enthusiastically and accepted the task.
After a short while, the waiter delivered Yun Duo's purchase to the designated location and turned back to the grocery store.
At this time, Yun Teng and the others drove over. As the carriage approached, Yun Duo calmly took out some items from her space and skillfully mixed them into the pile of goods she had just purchased.
Due to the wide variety of items originally purchased, others had no way of knowing how much Yun Duo had bought, let alone noticing that there were items taken out from the space mixed in.
Yun Teng and his companions drove the carriage to the grocery store: "You guys load all these items into the carriage. Mom, you get in the carriage and wait for me. I'm going to the bookstore to find my father and second brother. After you've loaded the things, wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
Before they finished loading the car, Yun Duo came back: "Master, why didn't the master and the second young master come with you?" Yun Teng asked suspiciously.
"They went to the dock. The clerk in the bookstore brought word that my father asked us to go to the dock to find them. Jean was driving a horse-drawn carriage. It seemed that he met the owner of a ship in the bookstore and learned about the seeds we needed. They went ahead to check out the goods." Yun Duo explained deliberately.
They drove the carriage to the dock, where there was a special parking area where each car could be parked for half an hour for two copper coins.
After depositing the carriage, they headed towards the pier. As soon as they entered the pier, they saw Yun Qingsong and his son drinking tea at a tea stall.
"Mom, my dad and second brother are there, let's go over there."
Hearing Yun Duo's voice, Yun Chenxi looked over and said, "Mom, you're here, sister. Have you had your drink? Come and have a cup of tea."
Uncle Yang saw that the young boy always had a sullen face and thought that he just had a cold personality, but he didn't expect that he looked so good when he smiled.
"Ma'am, come over here and have a cup of tea and rest your feet."
Yun Duo took Li Xiuxiu's arm and sat at the table of Yun Qingsong and Yun Chenxi, and asked Yun Teng and the other three to sit at the table next to them and drink tea. Yun Duo took a sip of the tea. The tea leaves were not very good, but fortunately they quenched her thirst. "Dad, second brother, is everything done?"
Yun Qingsong nodded: "It has been done. Your second brother also bought a hundred rolls of soaked cotton cloth."
"Second brother, you are so awesome. You even know how to buy cheap stuff. I thought you only knew how to study." Yun Duo giggled and teased Yun Chenxi.
"Sister, second brother thought you were praising me. I heard from mother that a piece of cotton cloth would cost at least 500 coins. I saw that the cloth was soaked in water but it was soft. The boss sold it to me at the cost price of 300 coins. It will be more comfortable than linen after washing and making clothes." Yun Chenxi smiled. He knew that Yun Duo was teasing her and was not angry.
Hehehe...
"Brother, I am indeed praising you. Let's go and take a look."
When they arrived at the warehouse door, Yun Duo said to Yun Teng and the other three, "Go and drive the carriage over here."
Just as Yun Teng and the other four went to get the carriage, Yun Duo stepped into the warehouse. She used her mind to take out the watermelons, sweet potatoes, and potatoes that had been taken out earlier and then put into sacks and put into the space, and placed them in the warehouse. In addition, there were several sacks of fertilizers piled aside.
It really took her a lot of effort to get these items. There was very little of this kind of stuff in the space, and she struggled for a long time to get so many out, and she was so tired that she almost collapsed.
At this time, outside the warehouse, carriages were constantly coming and going. Since goods were frequently coming in and out, no one would pay special attention to which warehouse was loading or unloading goods. Therefore, even if a car came to load goods, it would not attract the attention of others.
After everything was arranged, Yun Duo walked out of the warehouse, and Yun Teng and the other three also drove over in a carriage. She spoke solemnly with a serious expression: "Yun Teng, Yun Yu, Yun Shuang, Yun Lu, the items stored in this warehouse were bought with great difficulty by my father and my second brother. They are extremely important to our Xiangyun Village! In order to prevent these seeds from leaking out, I'll have to trouble you four to load the goods."
Hearing this, the four of them looked at each other, but soon revealed a resolute look. You know, as the personal guards of the future Crown Princess, the tasks they usually perform are mostly related to protecting the safety of their master. How could they have done such rough work as loading and unloading? However, at this moment, not only did they not complain at all, but they willingly agreed to it.
When they heard their master mention "our Xiangyun Village", they knew that their master had already treated them as his own family. They had no complaints even if they were tired and exhausted, as they had such trust from their master.
Yun Qingsong and Yun Chenxi were helping load the truck in the warehouse.
Yun Duo took Li Xiuxiu's arm and came to the pier. It was bustling with people coming and going.
They came to the market at the pier. On both sides of the market were rows of small shops.
Going further in, there is a spacious open-air market. There are small vendors who set up stalls all year round, and ordinary people also sell vegetables, fruits, eggs and other items brought from home.
There are also some stalls selling cheap jewelry, hair ornaments, combs and other small items.
The market was filled with various hawking sounds, and the most attractive ones were the food stalls.
"Hey, hey, hey, freshly baked sesame cakes, hot and crispy, only one penny each!"
The owner of the sesame cake stall was flipping the sesame cakes skillfully while shouting out his wares. The aroma of the sesame cakes wafted away with the hot steam, attracting passers-by to stop and look. Several people were queuing up there waiting for the pot to be cooked quickly.
Steaming hot buns, fragrant grilled skewers, sweet candied haws... the stall owners were shouting enthusiastically, with their voices rising one after another.
"Freshly picked peaches, juicy and sweet. If they're not sweet, I'll give you the money! Cherries, cherries, sweet cherries!"
An old farmer shouted at the top of his voice, and the clouds were attracted by the sound.
When she walked up to the old farmer, she saw a basket of peaches on the ground. They were not very big, and their pink color looked very appetizing. There was also a small basket of cherries. Unlike the big cherries we have today, these cherries were very small, only the size of a fingernail, and were bright red little fruits.
Seeing this wild cherry, Yun Duo thought: "The cherries of this era may not have been improved. Since this wild cherry can be planted, I don't know if the cherry seeds in the space can grow cherry trees. She can try to plant it in grandpa's small garden to see if it can sprout. If it grows, it can be transplanted. Then Xiangyun Village will have an extra income."
"Uncle, how much are these peaches and cherries?"
"They are all three cents a pound. How much do you want to buy, young lady?"
"Uncle, I want ten kilograms of peaches and five kilograms of cherries."
"Little girl, I have some sacks and wicker baskets here. The sacks are three cents each and the wicker baskets are five cents each. Do you need them? They can be used to hold peaches and cherries?"
