"There are so many rich people in town, huh? Isn't chestnut rice delicious? ”

Chai Shuiqing asked suspiciously, thinking about when to go to the town to have a look.

Li Xiufeng shook her head and said innocently: "White rice is delicious, the second brother said that it is soft and fragrant." I heard that the steward of Hefu in the town buys white rice every month! ”

"I don't know if there are many nobles in the town, but Qingfuxiang only sells 100 catties of white rice every month, and there are not many people who can buy it."

Li Xiufeng said, pouting and saying: "That white rice is expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to eat it." ”

"I heard from the second brother, a pound of white rice and white noodles is sold for twenty copper pounds!"

These are also the news that I heard from the mouth of the second brother, Li Xiufeng was very shocked when she heard it, and she was unconsciously envious of those who could eat white rice and white noodles, and she was also greedy for how delicious the taste of white rice and white noodles was.

Chai Shuiqing understood that twenty copper plates and one pound of grain were indeed expensive.

In Chai Dani's memory, her father Chai Shouxiao and her mother Lin couldn't get much in a month's salary. This place is remote, and the male workers generally pay one or two silver a month, and the female workers only have three hundred copper plates.

And the wages of a husband and wife can't buy much white rice and white noodles.

It can be seen how high the price of white rice noodles is. Also, there is a terrible scarcity in the town.

If it is replaced with ordinary chestnut rice or beans, the price is two or three cents a catty. As for the 70 catties of millet that Chai Shouxiao exchanged for more than 30 copper plates for Chai Shuiqing, it can be seen how low its price is.

Chai Shuiqing already had a plan in his heart, and then asked about the price of goods in this place.

From Li Xiufeng's mouth, I learned that the vegetarian oil in the town is generally soybean oil or peanut oil, and the price of vegetarian oil is not low, and it costs 40 wen per catty.

The price of pork is twenty wen, which is cheap, Li Xiufeng is talking about the price at which his pigs are sold. Chai Shuiqing thought that if he bought it in the town, it would probably only be high.

There are also the usual eggs and duck eggs, which cost two pennies each.

As for other prices, Li Xiufeng is not very clear, she only went there two years ago, and she did not go again during the period. Moreover, more things were told to her by her second brother, so Li Xiufeng didn't know the specifics.

"Are your pigs and eggs going to town for money?"

In Chai Shuiqing's memory, it seems that there is no grocery store in the village.

Li Xiufeng shook her head, remembering that every year during the Chinese New Year, or every other month or two, someone would come to the village to collect mountain goods.

"Every year, people from the town come to collect the pigs in my family, and they pull the pigs away if they give them money." Pig slaughter is not carried out in the village.

"My grandmother and my mother save up eggs every time and exchange them for money when someone comes to collect the mountain goods."

Every time the collector comes, there will be a seller who comes with a burden, and there is everything in it, but it's good.

In those days, the children in the village have grown insightful, and some people have exchanged a lot of mountain goods at home, so they also took out a copper to buy a piece of candy or something for the child.

However, there are very few such people, and ordinary people are reluctant to buy them.

Li Xiufeng can eat candy every time, sometimes her father secretly stuffed her with a copper, and sometimes her second brother brought it back from the town.

Chai Shuiqing understood it, and said that there should be traffic jams here.

In this way, it seems that we will have to wait a little longer.

The two of them quickly sorted out the wild vegetables and cleaned them together, and when they went back again, the hour had already passed, and many people had already gone to the ground.

On the way back, Chai Shuiqing heard the curses of Chai Laozi from afar.
