Chapter 17: Returning Home
In ancient times, salt was still very expensive, and it was monopolized by the imperial court, and ordinary people could not sell salt privately, or it was a capital crime.
There is only one salt seller in the town, called Yipin Grocery Store, which also sells all kinds of condiments, and everyone usually comes here to buy them.
Hu Shi is rich this time, and he is not stingy in seasoning, the salt costs more than a dozen pounds, and he can top a pound of pork, and he usually uses salt to save money, not to mention condiments such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, Hu Shi weighed five catties of salt very heroically, played a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of vinegar, and weighed a few catties of white noodles, ready to go home to make dumplings, and the family ate a meal of white flour dumplings, so strong and hard to work.
Li Hui and Hu Shi picked out a few other things, "Shopkeeper, check out!" ”
"Okay, this eldest sister, I'll help you calculate, a total of one hundred and fifty-two wen, count it as a whole number, give one hundred and fifty wen." The shopkeeper crackled and quickly quoted the price.
"Okay, shopkeeper, give, just right." Hu knew that this grocery store was complete and the price was fair, so he paid happily.
Hu led Li Hui out of the grocery store and went straight to Zhenkou, which happened to sell pork, and Hu planned to buy some more meat.
It's still the uncle who sold meat last time, and I still have a little impression when I see Li Hui, after all, it's still rare for a few children to buy so much meat. So I was more impressed.
Seeing Li Hui hurriedly greeting warmly: "Little girl." I'm here with your family, how much will it cost this time? "After all, these big customers are rare.
"Boss, weigh me ten pounds! How much is a pound? Hu said.
"Don't worry, eldest sister, I won't let you lose money, and according to the price last time, twelve cents a catty, do you think it?" The meat seller said loudly with a smile on his face. I thought to myself, this is a big customer, I must catch it, and I will buy it here next time.
"Okay, then you can call it, and you want this piece." Hu also knew the price, knew that it was already very cheap, and he didn't make the price, so he pointed to a piece of fat and asked the boss to say.
"Okay, you are optimistic, a total of eleven catties and one tael, count you eleven catties, a total of one hundred and thirty-two wen, do you think it?" The boss happily wiped the odds.
"Okay, you can put the pig into the water and the bones for me. How much do you see? Hu thought that the pork intestine was delicious last time, so he thought about buying some more, after all, it was very cheap, and it was still meat. The bones can also be stewed and drunk, and it is still delicious when stewed, and one person has a big bowl, not to mention how refreshing it is.
"Eldest sister, you can give three yuan, a total of one hundred and thirty-five yuan."
"Okay, give the money." Hu still uses the change from selling medicinal herbs.
"Hey. It's just right, take the meat, walk slowly, and come back next time! The owner sent the two away warmly.
At the entrance of the town, Li Anfu had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Hu and Li Hui coming over with big bags and small bags, he hurriedly stepped forward to take them.
"Why don't you let me get it if you buy so much."
"It's not much, it's not early, let's hurry back."
Li Anfu helped Hu Shi carry things into the car, and packed a lot of bits and pieces, and a piece of cloth was the most eye-catching.
Li Anfu drove the ox cart and walked home.
