Jasmine could not help but furrow her brows in disappointment, dropping the handful of paddy back into the barrel.
She did not want to buy barley of such poor quality like this; not only would it be unappetizing to eat, but she also did not know if it would cause any digestive issues for everyone.
Although Jasmine was poor and her budget was extremely limited, she had not yet reached the point where she could not even afford clean, normal food for her people.
She dusted off her hands, ignored that barrel, and went to examine two other oak barrels standing next to it.
Inside these barrels, barley was also stored.
Although one could tell at a glance that this barley was old harvest, because it had been preserved in fairly good dry conditions, the grains were still firm. Smelling it, she did not detect any unpleasant moldy odor; on the contrary, it carried the faint, characteristic fragrance of barley. If the price was cheap, she could consider buying a large quantity.
