Jiushu returned through the Da Mo gate, after determining there was no way she could sell her grain here. 

Then she realized, the food in the restaurants around is very pricey, when it does not include the meat.

It was like this. The merchant caravans are licensed to sell in bulk. Thus, they can't unseal the sealed goods, till the set destinations, which include major cities along the way. 

The big merchants could pay for their meals, and the little merchants who only want to sell locally can't afford the bulk quantity of the international trade center. 

Thus, finally, Jiushu had a small opportunity. 

She bought a sack with the remaining copper coins she has. 

She filled a small gourd with rice, walked to the nearest stall.
