Chapter 15 Take it when you see it
The carving insect skills made Yang Xiuxiu invincible in the casino, and she won a lot for a while. But she is not an insatiable person, and she knows what it means to accept what it means to see good.
Today's events are purely opportunistic, and they have made a small fortune by relying on a little cleverness. But Yang Xiuxiu also knows that being lucky is definitely not the way to make a fortune, and if she is so careful, if she is like this, she will definitely be discovered. Moreover, the casino is the source of all evil after all, and to help her tide over the difficulties today, she must not use all her thoughts on this, otherwise she will only fall deeper and deeper.
Yang Xiuxiu's hand clenched when she touched the money bag, and returned to the rice shop she was optimistic about before without looking back. "Boss, weigh me forty pounds of cornmeal and ten pounds of rice, no,... Fifteen pounds. ”
"Okay, guest officer, wait a minute, I'll give you a full name in a while, and our store assures you that there will be no shortage of catties or two." When the boss saw the business coming to the door, he was overjoyed, and he had a lot of words, but the movements in his hands did not stop, and he soon weighed the cornmeal and rice that Yang Xiuxiu needed.
Yang Xiuxiu took the basket that was stored in the rice shop before, and after putting forty catties of cornmeal into it, she pointed to the rice and said to the boss, "Boss, can you please give me another rice bag and divide the fifteen catties of rice into three catties." ”
"Yes, I'll help you get three catties." The boss readily agreed.
Actually, these three catties of Yang Xiuxiu are intended to be used to repay Nancy's milk. originally wanted to give five catties directly, but Yang Xiuxiu thought about it, it was already unprecedented for her to be able to return rice, and it was really not in line with Yang Xiuxiu's original temperament to give more.
In fact, even if you don't give much, according to Yang Xiuxiu's previous style, it is already an unprecedented thing to be able to pay it back, and Yang Xiuxiu naturally knows it. It's just that the things were taken from her that day, and she doesn't care how her predecessor treated people before, if she takes someone else's things and doesn't return them, she really can't do it.
"Boss, how much do you think?" Yang Xiuxiu asked this, but in her heart, she had already quickly calculated the bill, three and a half, that is, three thousand five hundred copper plates.
"Three, two, five hundred. Girl, look at the forty catties of cornmeal for two taels of silver, and the fifteen catties of rice for one or two or five hundred yuan, doesn't this add up to exactly three taels or five hundred dollars? The owner of the rice shop was obviously worried about Yang Xiuxiu's peasant background, and was afraid that she would not be able to calculate the account, so he counted it to her one by one.
It's expensive! More than 3,000 coppers went to her at once. Yang Xiuxiu heard that the silver money that had just arrived was about to go for more than half of it, and her heart still felt painful. It's really true that no matter what era it is, this money can't help but be spent. At first, it looked like a lot, but it was gone.
In the end, Yang Xiuxiu still counted 3,500 copper plates to pay the bill. Next, she had to find a butcher shop to buy a few catties of meat and go back, still silently thinking about whether to buy a fish.
In the butcher shop, Yang Xiuxiu spent a total of 40 yuan to buy a piece of meat. After all, there are only three people in the family, and it is not new to buy so many and keep them at home for a long time.
Yang Xiuxiu pondered, if you don't buy fish, then buy some eggs and go back. At home, Nancy and Su Li all need nutrition, one can grow taller, and the other can get better quickly.
Six eggs, and another thirty cents. In the end, Yang Xiuxiu only had two taels of silver and two hundred and ten copper plates left in her pocket, but fortunately, there were still a lot left.
The cornmeal and rice are so expensive that it's no wonder that the croppers can't afford to eat them on weekdays. In fact, there are reasons for this, and the most direct reasons are nothing more than two, one is that grain has to pay taxes, and the other is that grain production in this era is already low. There is no hybrid rice, and it cannot be sown in spring and autumn.
Although this rice grows in the fields of the croppers, it is a pity that the croppers are busy surviving all year round but cannot eat a few meals.
If Yang Xiuxiu knew in the future, she would be alone in the town now and would be obsessed with hundreds of dollars, and she would definitely laugh at her for being unproductive. Of course, that's another story.
If Yang Xiuxiu's heart was dripping blood when she paid the money, then the way home was simply a death to Yang Xiuxiu. Carrying fifty or sixty pounds of things on his back, he didn't feel heavy at first, but as soon as he got out of town, his weak shoulders were overwhelmed.
"Oops,..." Yang Xiuxiu also thought about taking things directly to the space, and the burden of unloading her body was naturally not heavy. But she didn't dare to act rashly, there are still some people coming and going in this place, if someone accidentally finds out, then what's the matter? sighed all the way and walked a long way.
In the end, Yang Xiuxiu really couldn't move forward. On weekdays, Yang Xiuxiu is lazy to eat, and she doesn't exercise much at all. Not to mention working in the field, even the work inside and outside the house is waiting for Su Li to do, even if it is within her ability, there is Nancy, a little guy for her to do.
It's such a lazy method, can the body not be delicate?
Yang Xiuxiu found a stone and sat down, looking left and right to hide behind a big tree. With a flash of thought, Yang Xiuxiu entered the space, quickly removed the back basket, and came out of the space again.
Yang Xiuxiu happily touched the hairpin between her hair, this is really a magic weapon. Although she also disliked it at the beginning, she felt that there was nothing in the space, what could she do in an open space? Now I think that although there is only endless wasteland in the space, it is still quite good to use it as a storage space.
If you really let her reclaim some wasteland, please, don't mess with her.
