Chapter 34 - Guan Chibei Enters The City And Makes Big Purchases

Yesterday, it was pork trotter soup. Today, it was crucian carp soup. Ye Lulu drank all sorts of soup suitable for pregnant women. Her body was well-nourished and her spirits were much better. The effects of pork trotter and crucian carp soup were also realized.

The past few days, Ye Lulu had been feeding the babies with plenty of milk. The babies had been well fed.

However, the Guan family was still too poor.

The men went to the city every day to do manual labor, but they basically only bought rice and grains. There wasn't much money left. All the nutritional food Ye Lulu had was from Guan Chibei's daily hunting trips. Other than that, there was nothing else..

Eldest Brother Guan and the rest were considerate towards Ye Lulu and the three babies. They kept buying her white rice, but that was all.

Mother Rong was also telling him that she had made too many dishes in the past few days. The seasonings at home were gone very quickly and the oil bottles were almost empty. Even if there was meat, they could not eat it anymore…

That day, Guan Chibei hunted a bunch of prey on the mountain. Three pheasants, five wild hares, a lively roe deer, and a musk deer!

That was why roe deers were known to be silly. Most living creatures would feel the yin energy on Guan Chibei's body and their life force would be sucked away, causing them to slow down. It was also because of the yin energy on Guan Chibei that they were afraid to move.

However, this silly roe deer wasn't afraid of Guan Chibei even though it was half angry. Instead, it continued kicking its legs in his hands!

As a result, when Guan Chibei came down from the mountain, he had a bunch of prey in his hands. Every villager who saw him was stunned on the spot. Their eyes widened, and they were shocked speechless.

So… so many preys?!

Guan Chibei went to the city.

First, he had to go down the mountain. Then, he had to take an ox cart. This ox cart was used by people from the nearby villages when they wanted to go to the city. Each trip cost one copper coin. On the ox cart, many villagers saw the prey in Guan Chibei's hands. Their eyes widened as they watched the entire process.

After entering the city, these people couldn't help but pay attention to what Guan Chibei would do next.

The closest city to Yunwu Village was Yuan City. Father Guan and the rest went to Yuan City every day to do manual labor. However, unlike Guan Chibei, they didn't earn enough money every day. They were reluctant to travel via an ox cart, so they walked for about two hours every day.

'Guan Chibei' had been working in the city for more than half a year and was very familiar with the city. He went straight to a restaurant he was familiar with and sold a bunch of prey.

Then, he took the money and bought brown sugar, sesame seeds, red dates, peanuts, and so on in the city. What was even more eye-catching was that he even went to the big pharmacy in the city to buy very expensive medicinal herbs such as astragalus, angelica sinensis, and so on to nourish bodies. After that, he even went to buy two live black chickens and went into the condiment shop.

The Shang dynasty already had a very rich amount of seasonings, so there were shops specializing in seasonings in every city and town. However, the price of oil and salt was still very high.

Ordinary commoners did not use much at home.

Guan Chibei went into the shop and bought all the daily seasonings needed at home.

Following that, some villagers saw Guan Chibei standing on the street. After counting the copper coins in his hand, he went to the rice flour shop and bought five catties of pure white flour!

Everyone thought that this was over. However, Guan Chibei went into the cloth shop and bought a row of soft cotton cloth and a row of silk cloth!

A row of cloth could be used to make clothes for the three children and Ye Lulu. As it was the same type of cloth, it could be said that this was the 'mother and child' clothing of the ancient times.
