The family owed too many things; from small items like needles, threads, pots, and oil lamps, to large items like tables, chairs, benches, beds, as well as clothes, quilts, rice, and flour. They lacked everything and needed to buy everything.
Qin Yao took a round around the entire Kaiyang County and bought everything they lacked.
Four hundred jin of fine rice, one hundred jin of refined flour, fifty jin of soybeans, and fifty jin of millet, totaling six hundred jin of food, would be enough for her and the four children to eat for four months, ensuring they could survive this winter well.
These fine rice, refined flour, and millet were more than twice as expensive as brown rice and coarse flour, costing four taels and eight maces of silver.
Of course, mainly because Qin Yao had a big appetite; she could eat as much as five people. For other families, six hundred jin of food could last more than half a year if made into porridge.
