Chapter 24 Spending money
Here, Cui Yuankang tied his clothes, the flush on his face because of the dispute had not yet receded, and with the tip of his nose that was red from the cold, it was really pitiful to sob.
Cui Yuankang walked in front of Cui Yuanjian, and his waist was bent to ninety degrees, "Big brother, I was wrong!" β
Cui Yuanjian saw his younger brother like this, and his anger disappeared a lot, considering that it was the street here, he didn't say anything more, "Get up." It's good to know it's wrong. Let's talk about it when we get home.
"Big brother, second brother, let's go shopping quickly! I haven't been to town yet! What's the fun? Cui Xiaoxiao took a person by one hand and walked forward.
The two brothers had an awkward quarrel, and the atmosphere was weird and died. I can't stand the bird, Cui Xiaoxiao only has to go out in person, who let me pretend to be cute and sell well, and I will gag!
"Big brother, what's delicious in town!"
"I don't know."
"Second brother, what's the most fun thing you've ever seen in town?"
"Juggling is good, not now."
Cui Xiaoxiao looked at the eldest brother on the left, and then at the second brother on the right, and lowered his head weakly, this body is too thin, and the lethality of selling cuteness has been reduced!
Forget it, if you don't have the skills, don't force it, let's go shopping!
Walking into the largest grain and oil store on this street, Cui Xiaoxiao had a general understanding of the prices in this world. The price of cornmeal varies from three to five wen according to the thickness of the dΓΉ, and some time ago Cui Xiaoxiao and they should have eaten the cheapest. White flour is ten wen a catty, rice is divided into polished rice and brown rice, brown rice is ten wen per catty, and polished rice is fifteen wen.
If a penny could be equivalent to a yuan in later generations, the price of this grain would be much higher, but considering the current production, it is understandable.
Thinking about the money in the hands of their brothers and sisters, Cui Xiaoxiao bought ten catties of cornmeal and five catties of white flour.
There is no oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home, but this soybean oil costs 20 yuan a pound, and 15 yuan a pound of salt, and these two things consume a lot in a month. I just felt like I had made a lot of money, but now it seems that it is completely insufficient!
"Big brother, do you know where to sell lard boards?" Cui Xiaoxiao remembered that when I used to read novels, I used to eat animal oil in ancient times, and that should be cheaper, this soybean oil is too expensive.
Seeing Cui Xiaoxiao looking at the soybean oil in a little tangled, Cui Yuanjian understood what she meant, "There are pork stalls selling pork in the vegetable market outside that sell lard boards, let's buy that, it's cheaper than this soybean oil, and it's more fragrant." β
Cui Xiaoxiao knows that animal oil can't be eaten more, but this is only an expedient measure, and it seems that he still has to find a way to make money.
Cornmeal and white flour are 100 wen, two catties of salt are 30 wen, soy sauce and vinegar are 10 wen, spinach, beans, eggplant and other vegetable seeds are 15 wen, and it costs 155 wen to enter the grain and oil shop, and nearly one-third of the money earned today is gone, and this money is too much to spend. Woo, this is still something that doesn't have a penny to buy!
When I came to the vegetable market, I had the feeling of a little market, some people got up early to sell vegetables, some people got up early to buy vegetables, people came and went, and it was very lively.
Casually walked to a pork stall, it really deserved to be a pork seller, that person was born with a round face and big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, a beard on the cheeks, a tall horse, a round waist and a wide back, big eyes like copper bells glared slightly, plus raised eyebrows, so scary, I don't know if he is still part-time pig killing.
"Uncle, how do you sell lard boards? Bring me five pounds of lard board. Cui Xiaoxiao trembled and asked for something, and a person with this kind of face will not have a bad temper.
"Okay, seven pennies a pound." The knife fell, picked up the cut lard board and hung it on the scale hook, but it was no more than a point, no less, a good craftsmanship at the end.
Xu noticed a little surprise, and the big man smiled shyly, "I've been doing it for more than ten years, and my knife is accurate, as much as I want, no more, no less." β
Can you imagine the coquettish expression of a kitten on the crocodile's face, it's not cute, it's scary, uncle, please don't laugh!
Cui Xiaoxiao waited for the eldest brother to install the lard board and wanted to leave quickly, but suddenly saw some pig bones in a basket under the stall, and Cui Xiaoxiao couldn't walk.
Thinking about the rich and mellow bone broth, and then thinking about the nutritional value of pig bones, Cui Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at the big man, no matter how terrifying he was, he had to buy pig bones.
"Uncle, how do you sell pig bones?"
"Pig bones! Two pennies a piece, if you want it, I'll pick you a piece with more meat. The big man tried to smile gently, but it was more ugly than crying.
Cui Xiaoxiao looked at the pig bone intently, raised his head, and gave the sweetest smile, "Uncle, I'll buy a few more, can you give me a cheaper!" β
"Okay, you can watch it." Looking at the little girl with a smile on her face, the big man didn't know where to put it, and where he knew what he said.
Cui Xiaoxiao is going to die of laughter in her heart, there are really people who look like tigers, but have a cat-like temperament, a little clumsy, I don't know if anyone knows how to appreciate and cherish such a man.
"Uncle, give me two of your pennies, okay, I will often come to you to buy them in the future."
Cui Yuanjian hurriedly grabbed Cui Xiaoxiao, "Little sister, why are you spending money to buy bones?" There is no meat on it, if you want to eat meat, just buy a pound of fatty meat, the fat is much more fragrant than this. β
"That's right, you still buy meat, this bone is usually not bought by anyone, it's still cost-effective to sell meat, I'll give you one or two more." Dahan also persuaded on the side.
Cui Xiaoxiao, who listened to it, sighed, this ancient people are kind, this has to be put on hold in modern times, which seller doesn't want to let you buy everything that is not easy to sell, how can you be persuaded not to buy it.
"Big brother, it was my father and mother who told me in my dream, it's good to make soup with big pork bones to nourish the body, it's not expensive anyway, let's buy a few and try it." Parents of this body, I'm sorry, then you may have an excuse.
Cui Yuanjian listened to Cui Xiaoxiao's words and did not object again.
"Uncle, I still want two pig bones."
"Okay, okay." The big man really picked out the two sticks with the most meat, and knocked the bones with the back of the knife according to Cui Xiaoxiao's request.
cracked the bones twice with a snap, which is too worthy of the big man's physique and fierce appearance.
"Uncle, do you give me an extra pound of pork?" Cui Xiaoxiao looked at the big man with a smile, I don't know if he will refuse himself?
"Little girl, that's not going to happen!" For a while, the big man scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, and he didn't know what to do, and the people who usually came here to buy meat were afraid of themselves, so they left after buying, how could they dare to bargain like this little girl.
In the end, the big man cried with a sad face, "Little girl, I'll give you one or two more pounds, can you just buy one pound." β
