Return to the beginning of fleeing from famine, holding space to counterattack

Chapter 20 Buying Food

Jiang Nanqing poured one of the bowls of noodles into the basin he brought, then put it in front of Sanjin, and said in a low voice.

"Eat it!"

Sanjin rubbed Jiang Nanqing's hand, and then started to eat happily. Seeing Jiang Nanqing's behavior, the owner of the noodle stall couldn't help but said in a cold voice.

"People can't get enough to eat, so they give it to dogs."

Jiang Nanqing didn't speak. Sanjin might be just a dog to others, but it meant a lot to her. If she had enough to eat, she would never starve it.

After eating the noodles, Jiang Nanqing and the others sat down in an empty place, Jiang Shidong said with a sigh.

"The money is being spent more and more carelessly now. I'm afraid we will spend all the money on hand soon."

Wei Haixiu also said with a sad face: "Yes, a bowl of sparse noodles costs two hundred Wen. How can people live like this? No wonder there are so many people begging."

"Let's take a break and start our journey. Get to Duanyang early and feel at ease."

Jiang Nanqing shook his head and said, "Father, let's stay here for a day instead of rushing."

"Huh? Stay here for a day?"

Jiang Shidong didn't understand. Jiang Nanqing said that the war was about to start, and the famine would become more and more serious. It stands to reason that he should be on his way without stopping. Why did he have to rest for a day after leaving so little?

If this is the case, then I don’t know when I will be able to arrive at Duanyang.

Jiang Shidong frowned and said, "Nanqing, let's not rest, bear with it now, and wait until Duanyang."

Jiang Nanqing knew that Jiang Shidong had misunderstood herself, and she didn't want to rest because she was tired.

"Father, don't worry, I have a reason."

Jiang Nanqing looked around, and after confirming that there was no one there, he asked Jiang Shidong and the others to form a circle, and San Jin also came to join in the fun, Jiang Xinliang pushed San Jin and said.

"Sanjin, you don't understand, go watch and show us someone."

Sanjin groaned, and walked aside to watch for Jiang Nanqing and the others.

Jiang Xinliang said, "Sister, tell me!"

Jiang Nanqing said with a serious face: "Father, Xinliang, Aunt Haixiu, you have also seen it just now, the price of food is getting more and more expensive now, and it will continue to rise, one price a day, the price in our hands If you keep this little money in your pocket for a day, you will lose one liter of food.”

Jiang Xinliang suddenly realized: "I know what my sister means. The money in our hands will become less and less valuable, so we have to turn the money into food as soon as possible, so that it is the most cost-effective."

Jiang Nanqing nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I mean. We still don't have enough food from home, so we need to buy some more now."

Jiang Nanqing didn't have any space before, so he could save as much as possible when preparing things, because he couldn't bring too many things, but now he can, so he has to prepare more quickly.

Jiang Shidong said: "Yes, Nanqing is more thoughtful, then let's go buy food now!"

"Father, Aunt Haixiu, you guys go to buy food, and Xin Liang and I go to buy some other things."

"Okay." Jiang Shidong handed half of the money to Jiang Nanqing.

Jiang Nanqing didn't take all of it, after all, the price of grain is the most expensive now.

"Father, the price of food is very expensive. You need to bring more money. We can take this much. We will meet up here in two hours."

Jiang Shidong nodded and said, "Okay, you two pay attention to safety."
