Chapter 292 Buying Food

When the fried pine nuts are cooked, the whole yard is filled with a burning smell, which attracts people passing by to look into the yard frequently.

"Auntie, what are you cooking? It's so fragrant."

"It's nothing. I got some pine nuts in the mountains. I fried them up as snacks when I had free time. They just came out of the pot. You're welcome, grab a handful and try them?"

There were pine nuts to eat, and the man immediately beamed.

"Then I'll take advantage of it." He reached out and grabbed a handful, "Oh, it's still warm." "

The two said a few words at the door, and then the man left with a smile. Baiyunxi turned around and sat under the eaves, peeling pine nuts to eat while looking up at the gloomy sky.

The weather has changed, and the air is getting colder. I guess it will snow in a few days.

Baiyunxi was worried and checked all the food again.

After this period of hard work, we have indeed harvested a lot, including sweet potatoes from a semi-cellar, as well as sun-dried cassava flour and arrowroot flour.

Coupled with the recovered chestnuts and rhizomes, these alone are enough to support him for a while.

When they turn around, they will go to the town to buy a few buckets of brown rice and store it. They try to prepare enough food. No matter it is windy, rainy or snowy, they will not panic if they have food at home.

Just do it. The next day, Baiyunxi had breakfast and started making arrangements.

"An Yan, Mrs. Li, you two will go to town with me today, and we will buy some food and store it back.

When Mrs. Du heard about buying food, she quickly said,

"Mom, there are still three bushels of brown rice at home." In addition to the coarse grains sent by my grandfather's family, there are also things from the mountains and forests to supplement the food, so the food consumption is slow.

Baiyunxi nodded,

"I know this. Seeing that the weather is getting colder, if it snows and it is inconvenient to go to the town, I have stored the food in advance so that I don't have to run if it snows."

When she went to town this time, she planned to inquire about the price of pine nuts. If it was suitable, it would be more practical to exchange the collected pine nuts for money.

When Bai Anyan heard this, she said, "Mom is right, you really need to take precautions in advance. If it snows, the road will be difficult, and sometimes the price of food will increase."

Especially when the door is closed due to heavy snow, even if you want to go out, you can't.

Storing food for winter has become a habit among villagers.

"Mom, do you need my help?" Bai Anyi raised his head and looked at Baiyun Xi.

"You stay at home in case someone comes to cause trouble. Your sister-in-law can't handle it alone."

She is still worried about the second uncle's family.

When Bai Anyi heard this, he clenched his fists and said, "Mom, just go and leave the house to me. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I will break her legs."

The three of them pushed the cart and carried the baskets, and went to the town together.

With two laborers, Bai Anyan and Li, Bai Yunxi didn't have to walk. He just sat on the cart and let the couple push him.

When they arrived in the town, they walked along the street and went directly to the grain store.

Seeing Baiyunxi, the shopkeeper came out with a smile.

"Sister-in-law Bai, I haven't seen you in town for a while. This year's autumn grain has already arrived, but what else do I need?"

"Shopkeeper Wang really guessed it right. The family consumes a lot of food. I will take the children here to buy some brown rice and cereals."

Baiyunxi said, pointing to the sky, "It's getting cold, and I'm afraid it'll snow and I won't be able to go out. I'll buy more this time, so I won't have to run back and forth."

"Is it this reason, or is it that Sister-in-law Bai has the foresight."

Shopkeeper Wang agreed with his face. It was better for people in the town to go out, but it was really not easy for people to go out in the countryside below.
