She had to buy more oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and food. She had to be frugal with these eight hundred copper coins.
Zhao Yun 'er went to the market, looked at a few rice shops, and picked one with a relatively good price.
In ancient times, there were different types of rice, brown rice and polished rice, and the prices were different.
Brown rice was cheaper, a catty of corn cost five copper coins, while polished rice cost eight copper coins.
According to the modern market price, food was slightly more expensive. The production of food in ancient times was not as good as in modern times, there were no hybrid rice, and there were no pesticides. The production of food was also much lower.
Zhao Yun 'er bought ten catties of brown rice and polished rice, and also bought five catties of flour. One catty cost seven copper coins, and she spent a total of one hundred and sixty-five copper coins.
The oil tank at home was almost empty, and she bought five catties of grapeseed oil, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and some white sugar, and she spent a total of two hundred copper coins. She spent more than half of the money on a casual purchase.
Although Zhao Yun 'er was a little distressed, she had to buy these things, and they were indispensable. She hoped that she and Doudou could live a more refined life. If the money was gone, she could earn more.
Zhao Yun 'er's basket was gradually filled to the brim. Just as she was about to carry the basket and leave the grocery store, she saw an old man shouting, "Catch that thief, catch that thief! My money bag was stolen."
In front of the old man, a young man in his early twenties was holding a money bag, and he was running forward in a panic. The old man looked anxious, the money in the money bag must be very important to him.
Zhao Yun 'er had been a police officer for so many years, and when she saw a thief, she habitually went to catch him.
She put the basket in the grocery store, and said to the shop owner, "Please help me take care of it, I'll come back to get it later."
After saying that, she dashed out.
Although Zhao Yun 'er's body was a little weak, she was still agile, and her light body shuttled through the crowd, and she was still quite fast.
Soon, she caught the thief.
Zhao Yun 'er grabbed the thief's shoulder, and angrily said to the thief, "You dare to steal money in broad daylight, you must really think you're capable! Hurry up and hand over the money bag, or else I won't be polite to you."
When the thief saw that it was a young lady's apprehending him, he wasn't afraid at all.
He was a man. Could it be that he couldn't beat a woman?
"You stinky woman, why do you care so much? If you don't let me go, I won't be polite to you!" The thief warned. As he spoke, he began to resist and wanted to break free from Zhao Yun 'er.
Zhao Yun 'er had many years of experience in catching thieves, so she was able to easily deal with thieves who wanted to escape from her hands.
Seeing that the thief was about to resist, Zhao Yun'er twisted the thief's arm, and the sound of a pig howling could be heard.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! You stinking woman, let go of me!" The thief shouted.
Zhao Yun 'er's lips curled into a faint smile. "If I want to let you go, it'd be very simple. Hurry up and hand over the money bag."
"I'll hand it over, I'll hand it over, okay?" The thief said.
"Give it to me!" Zhao Yun 'er stretched out a hand in front of the thief, indicating that the thief should hand over the money bag to her.
The thief pretended to hand it over, but he tried to break free.
Zhao Yun 'er unceremoniously kicked the thief's leg, and caused him to start kneeling on the ground, crying out because of the pain.
