Fifteen cents a pound of pork, plate oil costs ten cents a pound. Every household has lard, but the progress of eating lard is different. There is no major event, or it is not gluttonous, and lard is generally not used.

Vegetable oil is usually used, and peanut oil is very rare. Peanut oil is a bit more expensive than lard.

When I went home, I met an old man who sold dustpans and baskets at the entrance of the field, and asked about it, the price was not expensive, Erlang stood and bargained, and finally bought two baskets of two dustpans and nail rakes and other things on the stall, and finally asked the old man to send a broom.

Coming and going, the newly bought mule cart was full.

Erlang drove the mule cart, and there was still some joy in his heart. Although it is not as good as an ox cart, a mule cart is also a cart. If you can meet someone who sells cattle, it will be the same if you sell the mule cart when the time comes.

With a perfect calculation in his heart, Erlang went home happily, and when he arrived at the entrance of the village, the villagers working in the fields pointed and pointed one by one.

"Oh, what a fortune. When I went to the county seat a few days ago, I heard that Mo Dalang and San Lang's children were given a silver bracelet. That's a lot of money. ”

"Oops, I've heard that too. I'm so big that I don't even have a piece of silver jewelry. There is only one wooden hairpin. ”

"Watermelons can't spend money like that. It's really a young man, and if you have money, you don't know what your last name is. Mo Erlang spends so much money, and his daughter-in-law doesn't talk about him. I really don't know how to be a housekeeper. ”

"If you want me to say, if you give the money, you will give it. Don't give that much. One is a female baby, the other is a male baby of the Huang family, and he is a mallet to give such valuable things. Look at the mule cart I bought again, I'm afraid that the money from selling watermelons has been almost spent. ”

"Probably not. I went to Lan Niang to borrow money a few days ago, didn't I have a lot of money in my hands a few days ago. Thinking that everyone is a relative, let's go to visit Uncle Nine together for the New Year. Their family eats well, dresses well, and spends lavishly. I borrowed fifty yuan, but Lan Niang didn't borrow it, saying that Mo Lao Er was in charge of the accounts at home, and I would talk about it when Mo Lao Er came back. "And then there was no follow-up. Simply don't borrow money.

Everyone muttered for a while, and when Mo Erlang's mule cart arrived, they all began to congratulate.

"Erlang bought a car. How much does this mule cart cost? Also bought so many things. What a fortune. ”

Erlang smiled and said, "Yes, I made the money from selling watermelons." It's all gone. The money was in his hand, and he panicked. It's all gone, and it's all over again. ”

Everyone: "......" really can't live!

Jiro went home humming a little song, leaving everyone behind.

Lan Niang saw what Erlang bought, and said happily: "After buying so many things, do you still have any money on you?" ”

Jiro rummaged through his pockets, and it was really cleaner than his face. There is still dust on the face that comes all the way back.

Lan Niang took out a piece of silver and pressed it for Erlang.

Erlang's heart blossomed, patting his chest and saying, "The autumn harvest is hard for you, I still have to go into the mountain with them." When you cook at that time, I will discuss with the board and the stones, and hire short-term workers together to harvest in the autumn. We have little land, almost only cook for one day, and when the people come, you women will arrange it yourself. ”

"We don't need it at home, we have watermelons and tea trees in the fields. There is only a little paddy field that grows rice, and I can do it alone. Be careful when you go into the mountains. Some time ago, I heard that there were tigers in the mountains, and wild boars came down the mountain to trample on many fields. It is not safe during this time, so be ye vigilant. Lan Niang instructed.
