158.Chapter 158
Mu Lingluo can be regarded as having figured out Wang Yan's thoughts, since she is greedy for money this time, she will definitely not obey the arrangement. And with Song Yan's temperament, he will definitely be fooled.
Therefore, in the three lists that Mu Lingluo gave to Song Yan, Feng Xiang's daughter-in-law's share was all inconsequential snacks, and the purse was full of copper plates, which was more than 200 yuan, which was not a heavy bag.
The share given to Wang Yan was a small piece of silver plus some copper plates, but the silver was too broken, and when Wang Yan weighed it, he only felt that the weight of the coins in it was not much, so he thought that the silver in it was too small, but he didn't know that the most money was her own share, but she was partial to Feng Xiang's daughter-in-law.
Mu Lingluo didn't pin his hopes on Wang Yan and Song Yan, but gave all his trust to Feng Xiang's daughter-in-law.
Feng Xiang's daughter-in-law is also reliable, she is grateful because Mu Lingluo treated her for a woman's illness last time, where will she not do her best.
Feng Xiang's daughter-in-law took out another list, carefully checked it clearly, and then began to buy things seriously.
Song Yan is a person who doesn't know how to bargain, and she has soft ears, and she is extremely easy to be moved, so Mu Lingluo didn't dare to give her too valuable work, but fortunately, the list given by Mu Lingluo was probably written clearly, so she didn't suffer.
Wang Yan counted the money in her purse for the first time, and when she saw that there were more than 200 yuan, she was extremely excited. She secretly calculated that what Mu Lingluo asked her to buy was not dry goods for cooking, but dry goods for snacks, such as fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, etc.
But the price of fried melon seeds and fried peanuts is not too high, and Mu Lingluo asks for a lot of money, if she wants to make a lot of money, it is not very possible to achieve it.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan secretly scolded Mu Lingluo's cautious eyes in his heart, and the money he gave was so small.
She simply walked around the market, and when she met a store, she came to ask about the price of dry goods, but each of them was no less than two pennies from the market price given by Mu Lingluo.
She secretly said that Mu Lingluo now has a lot of eyes and good calculations, and she even thought about simply swallowing all the money, but she also knew that it was impossible, now was not the time to offend people, she still wanted to extract more benefits from Mu Lingluo's family!
In the end, she really found a cheap dry goods store in a remote alley.
Seeing that the shopkeeper put out the salt-fried peanuts and salt-fried melon seeds, Wang Yan was overjoyed, "The shopkeeper, these are really only five cents a catty?" ”
The market price is generally seven or eight yuan a catty, if she buys it for five yuan, she can earn three yuan for a pound, Mu Lingluo also buys a lot, and she can't be greedy for nearly seventy or eighty yuan, which is a huge amount of money.
Thinking of this, Wang Yan was excited in her heart, only rubbing her palms and grinning.
The shopkeeper glanced at Wang Yan, his eyes rolled, and he smiled busily: "Isn't it?" My shop is located in a remote area, and there are not many customers on weekdays, so the price is lower than others. You see, these peanuts and melon seeds are all full and round, if you don't believe it, Madame can taste them. ”
Wang Yan peeled the shell and tried to eat a peanut, although the taste was a little weird and not crispy enough, but she didn't expect too much, and only immersed in the excitement that she could be greedy for a large sum of money.
She slapped the list and hurriedly said, "Give me a copy according to the list." Shopkeeper, you also saw that I bought a lot here, should you give me more? ”
It was rare for the shopkeeper to receive such a large amount of business, so he quietly glanced at Wang Yan's coarse clothes and said with a smile: "Okay." But this lady, we are all small business, where is the good capital to give more? What is the purpose of the lady buying so many things, isn't it a banquet? ”
Wang Yan peeled a peanut again and opened her mouth to eat, "Yes, my second brother's family is going to hold a housewarming banquet, isn't it just to buy some fruits to entertain the people in the village?" ”
The shopkeeper beckoned the young man to help weigh the peanuts, and said with a smile: "Isn't Madame's family in a nearby village?" I looked at this big deal, and I thought that your second brother was a noble person in this county? After all, only noble families will buy so many melons and fruits to entertain guests! ”
"Phew, she's still a nobleman!" Wang Yan spat, "It's just showmanship, after all, they are all from the same village, they have split up, and now they have set up a stall to earn a few stinky money, so why don't they start showing off and let the family know that they are doing well." ”
Ever since Wang Yan heard that Mu Lingluo's family had actually saved twenty taels of silver and refused to lend it to her, she was extremely unhappy.
The shopkeeper's eyes were sharp-eyed, but in just a few words, Wang Yan's words were set, and he smiled, "In the end, they are all relatives, your second brother is living a good life, where is there any reason not to carry you." All right, ma'am, it's all weighed, a total of one hundred and fifty-five cents. The shopkeeper asked the man to put a big bag of dry goods on the cabinet.
Wang Yan wiped her mouth, pulled out a sufficient number of copper coins from her purse and piled them up, and counted the remaining ninety coins, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, and only picked up the big bag of peanuts and walked out.
"Madame, walk slowly." The shopkeeper shouted loudly to send Wang Yan away, touched the one hundred and fifty-five yuan, and couldn't help but laugh lowly, "Oh, finally let me sell it, idiot." ”
In the village, the banquet will use the fruit plate before the feast, which contains the fruits of the season, or some dried fruits as snacks, unless it is a particularly poor family, the general family will put it out, so as not to make people look down on the inferior. After all, they are all from the same village, and it is inevitable that they will be taken out and pointed at after tea and dinner.
There were no dry goods at home, and the village received some dry goods and snacks, but it was still not enough, so Mu Lingluo asked him to buy more than 30 catties of dry goods and snacks.
But as for the fruits, they are nothing more than pastries or fried fruits and the like, and Mu Lingluo doesn't want to waste money to buy them.
She saw that there were still a lot of sweet potatoes at home, and the last time she bought a hundred catties of sweet potatoes, now it will come in handy.
Mu Lingluo will make some sweet potatoes and fruits with Mu Chanjuan and Aunt Lei, and when the time comes, they will have a feast.
"Auntie, are the sweet potatoes ripe?" Mu Lingluo reconciled all the flour and asked Aunt Lei, who steamed sweet potatoes.
There were not enough tools for making banquets at home, and thanks to these good neighbors, they all lent her money. The cauldron that Aunt Lei now uses to steam sweet potatoes was borrowed by Mu Lingluo.
Aunt Lei poked it with chopsticks, and when she saw that the sweet potato was soft, she hurriedly said, "Okay, Chanjuan, you can bring over the big wooden basin, and I'll get it out." ”
Mu Chanjuan responded with a big wooden basin and asked Aunt Lei to put those sweet potatoes into the wooden basin one by one.
At this moment, I heard a male voice outside: "May I ask if this is Miss Mu's house?" ”
