Chapter 30: Selling Bamboo Rats

"This little brother, do you collect game in your restaurant?" Huang Li smiled and asked the young man.

"I'm just a kitchen helper, whether I collect game, it depends on the meaning of the shopkeeper, but on weekdays, there are also people who buy and sell game to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper will also collect it, I will ask the shopkeeper to see if he collects it." The young man scratched his head.

Then he closed the back door again, leaving Huang Yiyun's ancestors and grandchildren outside.

Huang Yiyun's ancestors and grandchildren looked at each other.

But the back door opened again, and the young man said a little embarrassed, "That ....., I'm sorry, I forgot that you haven't come in yet, come in, I'll call the shopkeeper." ”

The man's face was slightly red, and he was embarrassed to beckon Huang Yiyun and his grandson to come in.

"They are the ones who are in charge." After a while, the man in the back kitchen came with a middle-aged man in his thirty-five five, white-faced beard, and pointed to Huang Yiyun's ancestors and grandchildren.

"The contemptible person's surname is Zhang, you can call me Zhang's shopkeeper, you want to sell game. What kind of game is it? The shopkeeper looked at the pair of grandchildren seriously, and saw that the two of them were black and thin, with a thick layer of cocoons on their exposed palms, although the clothes on their bodies were shabby, with patches on top of each other, but the clothes were washed very cleanly, and it seemed that the family's situation at home was not very good.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, my husband's surname is Huang, this is my granddaughter, do you accept bamboo rats from the shopkeeper? The shopkeeper took a look, this bamboo rat was caught yesterday, fat and energetic. Huang Li took down the bamboo rat packed into the burlap bag, handed it to the shopkeeper, and shook the burlap bag, and the bamboo rat inside was startled and made a 'squeak' sound.

"Well, yes, it's very spiritual, and it's fat, but this bamboo rat is according to the market price, fifteen copper plates to eighteen copper plates a catty, if you sell the bamboo rat directly to our restaurant, the price is lower than the market price, just according to thirteen copper plates a catty, how about it? If it works, it's over-weighed now. After the shopkeeper looked at it, he showed a satisfied look on his face and said to Huang Li.

"It's ........" Huang Li glanced at Huang Yiyun and saw the eldest sister nodding.

"Done."

"Tangshan, you've been there." Tang Shan, who was next to Zhang, shouted.

"Okay, shopkeeper."

After a while, Tang Shan came back empty-handed and said, "The shopkeeper weighs a total of twenty-one pounds." ”

"Well, twenty-one catties, two hundred and seventy-three copper plates together." I don't know how to do it, Shopkeeper Zhang took out an abacus, fiddled with it a few times, and said to Huang Li after calculating the price.

"It's ......." Huang Li didn't read a book, only some simple arithmetic, too deep will not be, she calculated for a while, the result of the calculation will be one hundred and seventy copper plates, one will be three hundred and twelve copper plates, and suddenly Huang Li is a little anxious.

"Well, Grandma is this number, two hundred and seventy-three copper plates." After Huang Yiyun saw Huang Li's appearance, he shook Huang Li's hand in his heart.

"Miss Huang can do arithmetic." Shopkeeper Zhang asked after seeing that Huang Yiyun was not in a hurry on his face.

"Well, twenty-one catties, one catty and thirteen copper plates, I will calculate them separately, first according to one catty and ten copper plates, and then the remaining three copper plates will be counted again by one catty.

Twenty-one catties multiplied by ten is two hundred and ten copper plates, three copper plates multiplied by twenty catties is sixty copper plates, and there are three copper plates left, two hundred and ten copper plates plus sixty copper plates are two hundred and seventy copper plates, and three copper plates are two hundred and seventy-three copper plates. Huang Yiyun pursed his lips and replied with a smile.

After Huang Li and Shopkeeper Zhang heard Huang Yiyun's algorithm, they both lit up.

"This is two hundred and seventy-three copper plates, put it away, you can send it next time there is game, the price is easy to say." The shopkeeper Zhang took out two hangs of money and seventy-three copper plates and handed them to Huang Li Dao.

"Cheng, thank you for the shopkeeper." Huang Li took the two hundred and seventy-three copper plates and said with some excitement.

The eldest sister and the second sister went up the mountain in the morning, and they earned more than two hangs of money by pulling a few bamboo rats, so much money, but not in the prefecture and county where there is no grain to sell, in Wenfu City, you should be able to buy a lot of grain.

It's no wonder that Qingshan Village is quite wealthy, and you can make a lot of money by pulling something from the mountains and going home.

When Huang Li came out of the back kitchen of the big bowl of dishes, his expression was still a little dazed.

"Grandma, it's time to come back to your senses, why don't we go to the grain store to buy some rice and noodles and go back to eat."

"Yes, yes, yes." After Huang Li came back to his senses, he nodded again and again.

After the two ancestors and grandchildren of the Huang and Li families rushed to the grain store, they saw that the grain white flour in the grain store cost 15 copper plates a catty, corn flour cost 9 copper plates a catty, sweet potato noodles cost 6 copper plates a catty, black noodles cost 4 copper plates a catty, and bran costs 2 copper plates a catty

As for refined rice, it is more expensive, requiring 15 copper plates a catty, fine rice 10 copper plates a catty, and brown rice 8 copper plates a catty.

Huang Li gritted his teeth and bought ten catties of black noodles, five catties of brown rice, and one catty of salt.

Eighty-five copper plates were spent together.

After that, I went to a shop selling pork and bought five catties of plate oil, and one catty of pork costs fifteen copper plates and one catty, which refers to the pork belly where the fat meets each other, and the lean meat is cheaper, but it also costs thirteen copper plates.

The lard is used to squeeze oil and fry vegetables, but it is cheaper than pork belly, and it costs fourteen copper plates a catty, and it costs sixty copper plates.

"Boss, how much do these pigs go into the water?" Huang Yiyun pointed to a pair of pig intestines and pig lungs, and asked the owner of the pork stall.

"Three copper plates for pig lungs and five copper plates for pig intestines."

"Nacheng, buy a pair of pig intestines and pig lungs, boss, can you send us a bone." Huang Yiyun pointed to a shaved and clean, meatless tube.

"This becomes". The pork boss put it up happily.

"Big sister, this pig is old and fishy in the water, and it is not delicious, what are you buying it for, it is a bit wasteful?" Huang Li frowned slightly.

"The eldest sister wants to try it, can I get rid of this smell and make it more delicious."

"It's done! If you buy it, you buy it, and when you don't eat it, you will eat everything, not to mention, it's still meat? ”

After that, Huang Li went to the cloth shop again, and Huang Li bought ten blank handkerchiefs for three yuan.

This was also Huang Jiang's idea.

said that if he sold the bamboo rat and won money, he could change a few blank handkerchiefs and go back to embroider patterns for her, and then sell them to the cloth shop, so that he could earn some difference and fill in some household use.

Of course, the cloth shop will naturally accept these embroidered handkerchiefs, and if the embroidery is good, you can buy seven or eight copper plates, and if you are poor, you can also sell five copper plates.

After that, I bought ten chicks with three copper plates and one chick, and spent another thirty copper plates.

Sell two hundred and seventy-three copper plates for bamboo rats. It took one hundred and eighty-three copper plates to come and go, and only sixty copper plates remained.

This money comes quickly, and there are more places to spend it.
