Chapter 5 Improving Livelihoods
With a heavy money bag, Li Yujin now doesn't know how to put his hands and feet. I was always worried that someone would come to steal the money, so I had to hold it tightly.
Li Hui saw his nervousness, and it was no wonder that as a peasant child, he had never seen it, let alone taken such a large sum of money, and he still earned it himself. This method may also bring unexpected wealth to the family and solve the family's difficulties.
"Big brother, don't be so nervous, the more nervous you are, the more others will know that you have money in your arms, so it's easier to be stolen, you have to pretend to be casual." Li Yujin let go a little.
"Big brother, since we have earned so much money, why don't we buy something delicious to treat ourselves," Li Hui thought to herself, she had finally earned money, of course she had to eat a good meal. After crossing over, it has been several days since she touched oil and water, and she now feels that she can swallow a cow, all in all, in short, Li Hui wants to eat meat, and she is thinking in her dreams, now that the opportunity has finally come, of course she can't miss it.
Li Yujin also thinks it makes sense, the family has not eaten meat for many days, plus he has earned money this time, and he can earn another one recently, and he will not lose anything if he eats. However, everything in the town is expensive, and the meat buns cost two pennies a piece, so it is better to buy your own meat and make it yourself.
The meat stalls are all at the entrance of the town, and you can buy them when you are about to leave the town.
The meat seller is a middle-aged uncle, with a face full of meat, big shoulders and a round waist, but he speaks very kindly. "Young man, how much do you want, look at it, my meat is fat, sixteen yuan a catty, I can boil oil and satisfy my cravings when I buy it, I definitely don't lose money when I buy it, this is all I just killed in the morning, it's fresh." As he spoke, he flipped over the big piece of fat.
Modern people eat lean meat when they eat meat, while ancient people prefer fatty meat, for the people who do not stick to oil and water all the year round, it is not easy to eat meat once, of course, you have to buy fat, you can satisfy your cravings,
"Uncle, it's cheaper, let's buy more, I have a lot of family." Li Hui said to the uncle who sold meat.
"Little girl, how much can you want, if you want this piece, it will be fifteen cents a catty."
"Fourteen wen a catty, if it works, I'll ask for it all, if it doesn't work, forget it." Li Hui said.
"Whose little doll are you, you know how to bargain at such a young age, okay, fourteen wen is fourteen wen, I will sell it early and close the stall early, I will call you." The uncle who sells meat thinks, there is only this piece left, go home early to rest after selling early, for the sake of pork freshness, start killing pigs before dawn in the morning, if you don't sell it, you will have to wait for a long time.
"It's a total of eight catties and six taels, and I'll charge you one hundred and twenty wen." The uncle who sold the meat weighed it and calculated the money.
"Uncle, how did you sell it in the water?"
"Little sister, don't buy that, it's not delicious, it's not easy to clean up, we bought enough meat." Li Yu became enlightened. The main thing is to buy a lot of meat, he is distressed, after all, ordinary people buy a pound and a half a catty, how can they buy so much at one time.
"If you want to, give two pennies to get it, and I don't want to deal with it when I go home, and it's troublesome to bring it back." The meat seller is quite real, he didn't ask for much, after all, it's not delicious meat.
"Okay, let's ask for it, big brother, give the money!" Li Hui said.
Seeing that the meat seller uncle didn't ask for anything, Li Yujin and Li Yucheng didn't stop him anymore, and after paying the money, they silently carried a basket on their backs.
"Let's go, little sister, everyone can have their full feast today." Li Yujin said.
