After a heavy rain, a full week of sunny days followed.
The grain was basically all sun-dried.
These past few days, Gu Jiaojiao had been running up the mountain every day. She was exceptionally enthusiastic about stockpiling food.
In just one week, she had nearly filled her family's cellar to the brim.
A couple of days ago, Leng Yuan went to the County Town to mail a manuscript, and Gu Jiaojiao had asked him to see if there were any earthenware jars or large vats for sale.
Leng Yuan was quite resourceful. He found a source that didn't require ration tickets, but the prices were incredibly steep.
He bought two large vats, each with a capacity of about two hundred pounds. They were eight yuan each, for a total of sixteen yuan.
He also bought two larger vats that could hold over three hundred pounds, which were ten yuan each, costing twenty yuan.
The four vats cost thirty-six yuan.
