Chapter 50: Buying Rice Starts Again and Quarrels
Seeing these prices, Mu Li's heart ached again, although she didn't know the meat market here, she also knew that meat was definitely more expensive than these good rice flours.
This rice costs five cents, and her wild boar leg doesn't even cost two cents a pound, thirty-five pounds, and it only sold for sixty cents, and I feel that my heart is dripping blood!
I don't want to think about it, and the more I think about it, the more heartache I feel.
The father and daughter also had a dispute in the process of buying rice, Mu Li wanted to buy three pennies a pound of coarse rice, and Mu Dad thought that coarse rice was more expensive than brown rice, so he wanted to buy all brown rice.
Mu Dad is the pillar of the family, Mu Li is just an eleven-year-old girl, when there is a disagreement, how can Mu Dad listen to her, just like selling pork legs just now, he resolutely bought a big pork leg at the price of 60 cabbage.
Seeing that Mu Dad was about to buy brown rice, Mu Li didn't want to watch him make mistakes.
The pork leg was given to her by someone else, so the money from the sale should be divided between her.
"You haven't married yet, your money belongs to the family." Mu Dad was dissatisfied.
"Yes, it's the family, yes, I don't want to use this for myself, but what this money buys for the family should be up to me." Mu Li said.
The honest man Mu Dad was choked by her words, this is the reason, the pork leg was given to her by Li Chong, although the money from the sale had to be given to the family, but she could talk about what to buy.
was said by his daughter like this, Mu Dad felt faceless.
Mu Li saw his expression, and knew that his tone was too tough and ruined the face of the head of his father's family, so he could only slow down his tone and tell him that eating brown rice all the time would be bad for people's health, and he should buy some coarse rice back.
It's easy to say, and finally convinced Mu Dad half, what is called half, that is, coarse rice is bought, brown rice is also bought, and two kinds of rice are bought for ten catties each.
Ten catties of coarse rice and ten catties of brown rice, a total of fifty wen.
For the remaining ten articles, Mu Li said that this was her reward for bringing such a big income to her family.
Mu Dad didn't want to agree, but seeing that she wanted to buy two catties of flour and two and a half catties of salt, all for the family, he acquiesced.
After buying rice grains, the two went home, Mu Dad carried ten catties of brown rice and coarse rice each, and Mu Li held flour and salt in his hands.
Mu Li went to the town before noon and didn't eat anything at noon.
On the way back, she was hungry and thirsty, and after drinking the spiritual spring water, she was even more hungry, and she couldn't stand it anymore, so she quietly took out the fog lotus from the space to eat it while others were not paying attention.
Cover your mouth and bow your head slightly to eat, one bite at a time, and eat several times to suppress the hunger in your stomach.
By the time they got home, it was late afternoon, and both of them were hungry.
Sun and Mu He have come back, knowing that they may be hungry when they come back, Sun also cooked dinner in advance, a big pot of wild vegetable and meat porridge, and there were no wild mushrooms tonight, because Mu Li cut a pound of pork in the morning.
As soon as they returned, Sun brought them two bowls of porridge to drink.
Mu Li drank it immediately, and there was something hot in her stomach before she felt it.
When Sun asked how it was sold, Mu Dad proudly told her that he had sold sixty wen while drinking porridge.
"How come, such a big pork leg only sold for sixty wen?" Sun didn't believe it.
Such a heavy pork leg, more than 30 catties, sold for 60 Wen, who to deceive? A pound of pork is fifteen wen, and wild boar meat is probably the same price, even if it is lower, it should be ten wen.
Thirty-five catties, there are three hundred and fifty Wen, she knows Mu Dad's temperament, he will probably sell a lot less, but at least there should be two hundred Wen.
It's only sixty Wen?
