Chapter 159: Grocery Store
Fee Chapter (12 points)
After Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi bought it, they came out of Qingyang Town, followed the official road, and walked back to the thirty-mile camp. This official road in Qingyang Town passes through the camp of thirty miles, and then goes south, about half a mile away from the foot of Nanshan Mountain, and forms a T-shaped intersection with another official road that runs through.
The official road enters the thirty-mile camp from Qingyang Town, and there is a place that is relatively open, and it is also a place where many people in the village usually like to gather. On the east side of the road, there is a land temple, which was built by the people in the village. This temple is not big, but it is not small. One side of the temple gate is the open hall, and the other side is three gatehouses, and when you enter the temple gate, the first entrance is the main hall. There are left and right wings, and Buddha statues are also enshrined. Walking further in, the second entrance is the monk's meditation room, and there is a vegetable field behind the meditation room.
On the west side of the official road, there is a grocery store, and it is also the only grocery store in Thirty Miles. Although the shop is not big, although the sparrows are small, they have all kinds of organs, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, needles and threads, etc., which are commonly used at home.
Lian Man'er remembered in her heart that she wanted to buy soy sauce for the Zhou family, so when she entered the village, she went to the grocery store first.
There was a tall horse tethered to the door of the grocery store, and Lian Man'er looked at it curiously. This kind of horse is also uncommon here, and it is said that horses are controlled goods, and only those who are powerful and powerful have them. The horse-drawn carriages often mentioned here are actually mostly drawn by mules.
Push open the door of the grocery store, facing the high counter, behind the counter is the shelf, on which all kinds of goods are neatly placed, in the open space in front of the counter, there are three or two benches, from winter to summer, there are always three or five idlers sitting on the stool chatting.
This is still the case today, but people who usually talk about each other are only looking at a man at the counter.
That man is not a local. He bought a large jar of wine, spiced peanuts and snacks, and finally took a piece of silver to settle the bill.
Lian Man'er heard the gasping sound of the people in the room.
Jiang San Chapter 159 The shopkeeper took the silver a little tremblingly and bit it with his teeth.
"Well, you're afraid that the uncle will give you fake silver?" The man said in a rough voice.
Jiang San hurriedly bent down to laugh, asked him to weigh the silver, and found the man a few copper coins. The man took the copper coin and walked out, and Lian Man'er hurriedly pulled Xiao Qi to the side and let go.
The man strode out of the door, put him on the horse's back, and then got on the horse, and with a shout, he beat the horse away.
The people in the grocery store slowly withdrew their gaze.
"This is a rich man." A man smashed his mouth and said.
When people in the village come to the grocery store, most of them drink in twos and twos, and at most they are only one or two catties. The same is true for buying other things, so grocery stores are mostly bought and sold for a few pennies a day, and few people will pay for silver.
"Those who came from a big place went to Daqian Mountain again." Another person said, it seems that such a guest is not the first.
"Hit two taels of soy sauce." Lian Man'er walked to the counter and said with her head tilted. The counter was a bit high, and her head was just level with the counter, and she had to stand on tiptoe a little to put the copper coins and soy sauce jars in her hand on the counter.
"Isn't this the man'er and Shichiro of the Lian family?" Jiang San greeted with a smile, accepted the copper coin, opened a wooden board on the counter, and walked out of the counter.
The soy sauce tank is too large to fit inside the counter, so it is placed outside the grocery store counter against the corner.
Jiang San took the soy sauce jar from the counter, walked to the soy sauce jar, opened the wooden lid, took a funnel from a shelf next to it, inserted it into the mouth of the jar, and took a wooden spoon from the side.
This wooden spoon has a small bucket at one end, and the handle of the spoon is about half an arm long, and each spoon is one or two. There is also a larger wooden spoon next to it, which is half a catty.
"Your soy sauce is finished so quickly, it was Shichiro who came two days ago, and he beat half a catty."
Jiang San and Lian Man'er sisters and brothers scooped soy sauce from the soy sauce tank and poured it into the funnel.
"This is soy sauce for my grandfather and my grandmother." Lian Man'er explained.
"Even a few children of the fourth family can help the family work, and they are all filial." Someone said.
"Your sauerkraut workshop can earn a lot of money a day." A good person asked in a loud voice.
"It's all my father and my mother, and I don't make money or anything. I heard my father tell my mother that whether or not to earn money is a trivial matter, so that the neighbors can earn a few handicraft money and subsidize the family, it is not a waste of work. Lian Man'er said.
"The fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law of the Lian family are kind people, I didn't see it before, but now I look at it, I still have great skills." There was humanity, and he smiled at Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi. Lian Man'er saw that he was familiar, and it seemed that someone in his family was working in the sauerkraut workshop, and he smiled back.
"Third aunt, that person just now is not from our village, right? There are not many words," Lian Man'er asked Jiang San.
"No, there are no people like that in our village. In the past two days, the proprietress has sent it, and such a customer will usually sell goods for two or three days. Without waiting for Jiang San, one person said with a smile.
"It's so evil." Jiang San glanced at the man, put the funnel and the wooden spoon away, and handed the soy sauce jar to Lian Man'er.
"Take it well, don't scatter it on the road."
Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi came out of the grocery store, walked two streets, and arrived home.
"Hurry up and send the soy sauce to our milk, I just urged it." Lian Zhi'er was standing at the door of the West Wing, and when she saw Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi, she said.
"Hey." Lian Man'er wanted to enter the house and put down the basket first.
Lian Zhi'er took the basket and glanced at the upper room, before lowering his voice and whispering in Lian Man'er's ear.
"Send the soy sauce first, don't go into the house, save more milk."
"Two taels of soy sauce, can we still steal her?" Lian Man'er cut it, and if he really didn't even enter the threshold, he hugged the soy sauce jar and went up to the room.
"What's the matter, I'm waiting for you, the daylilies are cold." Zhou said with a straight face.
"The child ran errands for you, why didn't you have a good word." Old Man Lian sat on the kang, glared at Zhou, and waved at Lian Man'er with a smile, "Man'er, it's cold outside, go to the kang to warm up for a while." ”
Zhou took the soy sauce bottle, opened the lid again, and examined it carefully, before handing the soy sauce bottle to Zhao next to him.
"Add a spoonful to the dish." Zhou instructed Zhao, "Don't add too much, it's not enough to see good." ”
Zhao lowered his eyebrows and agreed, and went out to cook with a soy sauce bottle.
"Master, it's not cold outside. I'll help my mother cook first, and I'll come back to you later. Lian Man'er said to Old Man Lian.
"Good boy, go ahead." Even the old man smiled.
Lian Man'er returned to the West Wing, and the family was listening to Xiao Qi while watching what they bought.
"This minced meat is all chopped, but it saves trouble." Zhang saw the minced meat first.
"Uncle Zhang is idle, so let's stomp the stuffing." Lian Man'er said.
"Why did you buy roast chicken?" Lian Shouxin looked at the oil paper bag that Lian Zhi'er took out and asked.
"Dad didn't say that Cai Ji's roast chicken in the town was delicious. I brought enough money, so I bought it. Lian Man'er replied with a grin.
"Xiao Qi's birthday, let's big guy follow the tooth sacrifice." Gorou laughed.
"You're going to spend money." Although Zhang said this, he did not mean to blame. Speaking of which, in some ways, Zhang and Lian Shouxin are still very favored children.
Lian Zhi'er scooped half a basin of warm water, asked Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi to wash their hands, and let them sit on the kang.
"Man'er, use half of this bone to boil the soup first, and then make noodles later." Zhang discussed with Lian Man'er, "How about the remaining half, how about boiling radish soup and eating dumplings at night?" ”
"Okay." Lian Man'er smiled and nodded. Another advantage of Zhang and Lian Shouxin is that they do not make decisions about everything because they are parents, on the contrary, they prefer to consult their children. For example, things like meal arrangements are also negotiable. The reason why Lian Man'er can integrate into this family so well has a lot to do with the advantages of their husband and wife.
Lian Man'er sat on the kang, and he met Wu Yugui again in the town, and Xiao Shentun said that he was going to build a temple.
"That's a good thing."
Even Shouxin said this, but he didn't say anything more, obviously because he didn't care about this matter and their lives, so he didn't care.
"In a few days, the sauerkraut of every household should come down, and the contract we made with the shopkeeper Wu should also expire, and this sauerkraut workshop will have to stop." Zhang said while making a face.
"No, it's enough to make money these days." Even keep the word.
Zhang seemed to be a little reluctant, but he also nodded. The couple also has one thing in common, that is, they are not greedy and are easy to satisfy.
"The money we earn these days is enough for us to survive until this time next year. In previous years, when there was no separation, a large family, not counting the eldest brother, could not spend this money. "Even keep the word.
"Me." Zhang said, "I just want to be idle when the time comes, I'm afraid we won't get used to it." ”
"Mother, otherwise, let's send bean sprouts and sell them." Lian Man'er said.
"Bean sprouts?" Zhang thought for a while, "Our sauerkraut is in short supply, bean sprouts are not short, and they are sold every day in the town." ”
"Mother, you said no, but there are still people who buy bean sprouts." Lian Man'er said, "In our village, hundreds of families also sell ten catties every day." ”
"That's right." Zhang agreed.
On the way from the town, even Man'er had already calculated the cost and profit of sprouts in his heart.
Bean sprouts are three dollars a catty, and the price of soybeans in the market is nine dollars a catty. A pound of good soybeans can produce five to eight pounds of bean sprouts, of course, this is related to the technology and number of days to sprout. In general, it takes six to seven days for the sprouts to grow.
"Mother, the craftsmanship of your bean sprouts is so good, let's count it as seven catties. One pound of soybeans, we can earn 12 yuan. ”
