Chapter 20: The Loser

"See, my salt is better than that of the supply and marketing cooperative. The seller took his stuff and began to brag.

Now there is no refined salt, it is all large-grain salt, and the only criterion for distinguishing the quality of salt is to see whether the salt grains are white or not, and there are many impurities in it.

Yuan Si won't look at this, she can't tell if it's good or not, but the inside of this salt grain is not very clean, and she doesn't know if the salt grains elsewhere are the same. However, she couldn't let people see it, so she picked up a few grains of salt and looked at them carefully for a while before nodding her head to indicate that it was okay.

"If you change the salt, I'll give you a pound and four taels, how about it?" the merchant made a small calculation again.

Now the salt grains in the supply and marketing cooperatives are one dime and three catties, and one catty and four are one and eight cents and two, he saw that Yuan Si was a child who was only a few years old, and thought that she didn't understand, so he wanted to fool the child.

But Yuan Si is not six years old, of course she can understand, "No, you have to give me a pound and a half." ”

"Oh, you kid, I'll lose a lot of money if you give you a pound and a half, and you can't change it to others. ”

"Needless to say, not to change a word. Yuan Si didn't bother to listen to his ink.

The merchant let her say that there was no electricity, and finally felt that this business was still profitable, and it didn't look like a joke to see the child, so he was not fooling, "Okay, okay, one and a half pounds is one and a half pounds, and I should hand over you as a little friend." If you have anything in the future, you can just come to me to change it. ”

After speaking, he took out the small scale in his burden and weighed one and a half catties and gave it to Yuan Si, "Look, this is high." ”

Yuan Si took a look, what is high, that is, a flat scale.

Later, Yuan Si found good things on his burden, toothpaste and toothbrush. This is something she has wanted to buy for a long time, and she has mentioned it to the old lady. But there has been no movement so far, and it is estimated that it is impossible for the old lady to buy it for her, so she can only figure it out by herself.

After asking the price, Yuan Si felt that she had a long way to go, and it was a long-term thing to buy daily necessities by pinching her braids.

After returning home, Yuan Si didn't keep anything at all, and put a pound and a half of salt grains in a clay pot and soaked it in water.

Salt particles are not good for cooking, and there are impurities in them, so some particular people need to reprocess them when they take them back. It is to use water to dissolve the salt grains, then remove the impurities in the middle, and then take the remaining brine to the sun to dry, and finally you can get fine salt noodles.

When the old lady returned, she saw the salt water in the crockpot and vigorously criticized the little girl's behavior of changing the salt without permission.

"Why do you say you have such an idea, the old money, you say that if you change the salt, you will change the salt?" The old lady said heartbreakingly, this little girl traded with the seller herself, and people were not allowed to bully her because she was a child who gave a lot less, thinking about the old money, her heart hurts.

Yuan Si was also a little dumbfounded, that old money?

"We don't have any salt at home, I don't want to eat fish porridge. Yuan Si said aggrievedly.

These days, although Yuan Si's stomach is full, she is also in dire straits. For the first few days, she ate grilled fish porridge. Because there was no salt, there was a bit of salt in the porridge, so the old lady took it upon herself to cut the grilled fish and throw it into the porridge and cook it again. Later, when the grilled fish was gone, Yuan Si took out several fresh big fish, and the old lady directly made those fish into fish porridge, so she was still struggling with fish porridge these days, and she urgently needed to change the taste.

"You kid, you're used to being indecent, you can do whatever you want, this loser. The old lady chattered around the crockpot, but it was already an established fact, and it was useless for her to chatter, and the salt was soaked in the water.

Three days later, the salt grains in the crockpot finally turned into fine salt noodles, and Yuan Si took advantage of the old lady's time to go to work, and secretly used the spice box in the space to pack a salt noodles and keep them for her own use in the future.

When the old lady came back, she muttered while collecting salt noodles, saying that Yuan Si must have been deceived, otherwise how could she just order a pound and a half of salt. Yuan Si couldn't help but smile and nodded vigorously next to her, she must have been deceived.

In the evening, Yuan Si ignored the old lady's objections and insisted on eating pure grilled fish with more salt noodles. Of course, the barbecue grill can't be taken out, so it is directly on the kitchen floor, lit a pile of firewood and grilled it.

This is the first time that the old lady has seen how good this little girl's idea is, she has to do whatever she says, no one can say that it is not good, in order to stew and grill fish, the little girl glared at her, as if she did not agree, she would be angry. The old lady is so angry, this is not big or small, but since ancient times, my father and mother have never beaten their children, and in the end, the old lady still sulked and watched her daughter happily eat grilled fish.

When the little girl fed the salty and fragrant grilled fish to her mouth, she felt comfortable, and felt that this girl was fine except for her love to eat, but everything else was fine. Hey, the child is so filial, what else do you ask for?

After the old lady built her heart, she looked at her daughter, and then it would be good to look at her daughter.

"Mother, is it delicious?"

The old lady pouted, "Well, of course it's delicious, you don't see how much salt and firewood are wasted." I'm telling you, just this once, next time if you're so wasteful, see how I clean you up. ”

Yuan Si didn't care when she heard it, this old lady still has to be re-educated.

"Mother, you forgot that I have a fairy master, do you think about these things that I will lack in the future, you can eat with this with confidence. I really don't have any money, so I'll ask my master to send more fish, and let's exchange the fish for firewood or salt. This is what she had just recently thought, and fish could also be used as a common currency here.

Not to mention, the old lady is full of losers, and she really forgot about the fairy master of the little girl.

She didn't say anything.

Yuan Si stuffed a grilled fish into the old lady's hand, and then said earnestly: "You don't have to worry about these in the future, follow me and you will wait to eat and drink spicy food." ”

The old lady was amused by her little ghostly appearance, "You can pull it down, you started to brag before three pieces of tofu are high, you haven't learned much, you talk to a set, who do you say you look like?"

"Hehe, mother, didn't you say that I am like you, and I will be a capable person in the future. In order to make the old lady happy, Yuan Si was also shameless.

"Hmph, I don't see it, I see that you have used all your skills to eat. ”

"That's okay, we can eat well now, and it's not much better than others. Yuan Si understood the old lady's heart very well, and was talking about the old lady's sensitive points.

The old lady has been strong all her life, and she loves to compare food and clothing with others, anyway, what people have has to have their own homes, people can't eat enough, and their families can eat enough, which is a great transcendence.

"Well, as far as you say, okay, I see that you are also very capable, and I can't control it, then I don't care about it in the future, I see what you can do, and what you can become. The old lady also understood that this girl was no longer the character she used to be, and she couldn't help it, so it was better to leave it alone and be a happy old lady herself.

"That's right, mother, don't worry, from now on, I will definitely let you eat well. ”
