Chapter 45: Inquiry

Liu Jixiang asked, and Liu Jixiang also had a general understanding of the prices in this place, such as rice and white noodles. The price is basically four or five pounds, and the quality is not too good, but it is worthy of that price!

There are better rice and white noodles, but the price is so expensive, basically the same price as pork, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it!

In addition to rice and white noodles, there are also oil, salt, sauce and vinegar or something, these things are really expensive, no wonder I have been here for so long, except for seeing them put salt, I have never seen them put other seasonings, it is really expensive.

Especially salt, Liu Jixiang really doesn't know what to say, how good modern salt is, white and fine, and very cheap, you can buy a pound for two yuan, but here, you can buy a pound for ten yuan, and the salt particles here are so big, there are some impurities from time to time or something, refined salt is also there, fifty or sixty wen, better and more expensive, nearly hundreds of wen, I really can't afford it.

As for the fresh vegetables, because it is still early spring, the vegetables are all radishes, cabbage and potatoes, which are very monotonous, Liu Jixiang also saw onions or something, but they are too small, and those are onion seeds......

Liu Jixiang inquired a lot, and also knew a lot of things, seeing that the time was not early, he understood that he couldn't hang out anymore, so he walked in the direction of the city gate, and when he passed by the street stalls, he smelled the bursts of aroma from the stalls, and stopped, to do them early in the morning, except for the flatbread, but nothing to eat!

Liu Jixiang looked at Liu Ruyi on the side, and took out two pennies from the back basket, because she remembered that the lady said that one penny could buy a steamed bun, and she spent two pennies to buy two steamed buns, one for her and one for herself!

The steamed buns are very fragrant, sweet in the mouth, with a fragrant wheat flavor, very delicious, but the only bad thing is that it is a little choking!

The two of them ate while walking, and when the steamed buns were finished, the people also arrived at the city gate, Uncle Liu sat on the ox cart, and there were several aunts sitting on the side, and when they saw them coming back, they didn't lift their eyelids.

Liu Jixiang didn't want to pay attention to them, stepped forward, took out two pennies from his arms, and handed them over, "Uncle, this is my brother and me's fare today, you can collect it!"

Looking at the two pennies, Uncle Liu didn't take it in a hurry, but said with concern: "Child, the two of you don't have a lot of money, especially now that you are still living with your uncle, it will be even more miserable, so I won't accept this money, you can keep it for yourselves!"

Liu Jixiang shook her head, she didn't like what she owed others, "Uncle, I know that you are caring about our sister and brother, and I think that the two of us are living in difficulty, so I don't charge the two of us for the car, I thank you here, but uncle, no one is rich in the family, I didn't give you money in your car this morning because I really don't have money, but now it's different, my brother and I have earned some money, and we are rich in hand, so this fare must be given to you, otherwise my brother and I will have to become this skinless and faceless character, Our consciences are not at ease!"

When Uncle Liu heard this, he sighed, knowing that these two children were good-hearted and didn't like to take advantage of others, so he took the money and said: "Okay, I took this money, but although you have made money, you must remember to save, don't be extravagant, and ······ I won't say anything from your uncle, I hope you two can understand what I mean, be careful and be careful! “

Of course, Liu Jixiang knew what the old man meant, and nodded, indicating that he remembered it!

Here, several ladies sat on the ox cart, and when they heard Liu Jixiang's words, their eyes lit up, turned around, looked at Liu Jixiang, looked up and down, and asked tentatively: "Jixiang, I just heard that you made money...... You see, we are all from the same village, as the saying goes, fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the eldest lady is not rich in hand, so you tell the eldest mother, how did you make money, and the eldest mother can give you a guarantee, and never tell others!"

Liu Jixiang originally wanted to make some money from wild vegetables, how could he tell others to cut off his own financial route, and he was not familiar with these people, so why should he tell them how to make money!

"Auntie, you look average, why do you think so beautiful!" Liu Jixiang said mockingly.

The eldest lady's face changed, and she immediately stood up, stuck her waist, and scolded, "Okay, you cheap hoof, I just asked you something, but you don't know how to sarcastically mock me, are you a bully when you are a mother?" Apologize to me quickly, or don't blame me for being rude! “

Liu Jixiang didn't feel scared because of the eldest mother's anger, slowly put his hand into the bamboo basket, took out the sickle that went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables today, and waved it up and down!

"Auntie, I am really sarcastic about you, because you are so shameless!

And I'm not going to apologize, so what are you going to do with me, alas, people are really scared......"

The eldest lady still wanted to say something, but looking at the bright sickle, she was so frightened that she couldn't spit out a word for a long time, and her face was blue and black!

Uncle Liu hurriedly came out to play the round, "Okay, it's time, everyone hurry up and sit down, we should go back!"

When the aunt heard this, she could only sit down unwillingly, as for the others, when they saw the bright sickle, everyone didn't dare to speak, but the small movements didn't stop, and they kept peeking at Liu Jixiang with their eyes!

Liu Jixiang doesn't care, as for whether these people will talk about themselves behind their backs, then she doesn't care, because no matter what they say, they won't be short of meat!

The speed of going back was quite fast, about twenty minutes later, they returned to the village, Liu Jixiang carried a bamboo basket on his back, and got out of the carriage first!

The ladies were relieved to see that the plague god was gone, patted their chests, and said fearfully: 'Is this little slut crazy?' He still has a knife in his hand, is he trying to kill someone? It's horrible!"

The other ladies nodded in agreement and agreed, "No wonder I was driven back by my in-laws, I am really a mourning star, just provoking bad luck for others, I am really afraid of death!" “

"That's right!" One of the eldest ladies said vigorously: "It's just to ask something, just over there and not forgive, it's really stingy, and it won't let him lose a piece of meat!" “

"But ······" One of the ladies pondered, "How did that little make money?" If we know how to make money, then ......"
