Chapter 172 - 172 Preparing for the Worst



“Alright, I’ll stay here and look after the ox-cart. Come back quickly after you’re done,” Aunt Wang said.

“Okay.”

Lin Xiaoyue then took the basket from the ox-cart and went to the market to buy vegetables.

There were five people in their family. She and Li Xiao had a big appetite, and so did her mother. As for the two children, they were still growing and could eat quite a lot.

She had to make sure they ate well.

Lin Xiaoyue bought the ingredients for tomorrow’s breakfast and lunch before returning to the ox cart.

Then, she rode the ox-cart in the direction of the grocery store.

On the way, she passed by a grain store and went with Aunt Wang to buy 30 catties of brown rice and 20 catties of coarse flour.

The owner of the grain store knew Lin Xiaoyue, and because of that, he gave Aunt Wang a discount of 3 wen by rounding down.

After buying the rice and noodles, Aunt Wang’s face was full of smiles.

“Girl, you’re very popular!” She said to Lin Xiaoyue.

The price of this grain store was reasonable. Her husband used to buy grain from this store, and the store owner never rounded down.

Hence, she was surprised.

“Hehe, it’s not that, it’s just that I use a lot of refined rice to make the cold cakes. The profit of refined rice was much higher than that of brown rice. I’ve talked to Mr. Qian about long-term cooperation, so I’ll be buying from him in the future,” Lin Xiaoyue laughed.

Of course, it wasn’t just because of the cold cake business. After all, she had just started the business.

Instead, ever since she had the money, she had been secretly storing grain.

She would do it every five days, storing 50 catties of rice each time.

After experiencing the apocalypse, she was afraid.

Now that she was in ancient times, had the knowledge of the 21st century and special abilities, it seemed that life would not be hard.

But what if something unexpected happened?

What if there was a natural disaster?

There had been a drought in this era last year, which led to people, including those from the nearby Qingshi Village, going into the mountains to forage for wild vegetables.

If the situation was worse, some people might starve to death or even become refugees.

In short, when she was in school in her previous life, she learnt that the life of farmers in ancient times depended on nature.

When faced with a major disaster, the situation was not much better than the apocalypse.

Therefore, it was still necessary to prepare for the worst.

“That’s true. Your cold cake business is getting bigger and bigger, and you’re indeed using a lot of refined rice,” Aunt Wang said.

As they talked, the two of them arrived at the grocery store.

Mr. Jin saw Lin Xiaoyue and immediately came forward to greet her.

“Miss Lin, are the goods all sold out?” Mr. Jin glanced at the ox-cart parked outside the shop and asked Lin Xiaoyue with a smile.

It’s still early, so she wouldn’t have left so quickly.

“Thanks to you, they’ve all been sold out. There aren’t many bowls left from the ones I bought from you yesterday, so I’m here to get some more,” Lin Xiaoyue said cheerfully.

Mr. Jin’s face lit up.

“How many do you need?” Her business was very good!

Lin Xiaoyue pondered for a moment and said, “15 small bowls, 25 medium bowls and 10 medium-large bowls.”

Based on the amount sold today, most people ordered less than 4 bowls of cold cakes to go, so she could prepare more small and medium bowls.

Mr. Jin’s eyes flashed.

“Deal! I’ll get someone to get them for you and send them to the cart!”
