Chapter 199: If you don't have a family, you don't know how difficult it is
The three of them were temporarily divided into two ways, Gu Beichen went to Shufangzhai to read, and Gu Nanxing accompanied Tao Sixi to Washi together.
"Sister Sixi, what are you going to buy? Rice grain wheat flour is not? Gu Nanxing asked.
Tao Sixi nodded: "Well, you have to weigh some rice grain and wheat flour back." ”
The family now has half an acre of paddy field, and the first season of early rice is about to be harvested, and my father has also paid the most for the paddy field of the old Tao family, but it is estimated that he will not get a grain of rice when he harvests.
Therefore, all the rice and grain at home have to be bought.
Gu Nanxing said: "I know that there is a rice grain shop on the edge of Wa City, the weighing is fair, not like elsewhere to deduct two catties, the rice grain is not bad, there are aged rice grains, it is rare to see the yellow and moldy mixed inside, every year when the green and yellow are not received, I also weigh it in their house, it is conscience and authentic." ”
Tao Sixi smiled and nodded: "Okay, then bother Brother Gu to take me over." ”
The two soon arrived at the rice grain shop that Gu Nanxing said, Gu Nanxing parked the wheelbarrow at the door, and went straight in to ask the shopkeeper inside about the type and price of rice grain.
Tao Sixi stood aside and pricked up his ears to listen, and his eyes swept over the rice in the big basin in front of him with the introduction of the shopkeeper.
There is a wooden sign inserted in the rice pile, which actually has the name and price of the rice written on it.
“…… Indica rice is 30 wen a catty, japonica rice is 40 wen a catty, glutinous rice is 50 wen ......"
Wheat flour is also classified, from coarse to medium to fine, and the price in between is also like a ladder.
As for other materials, such as buckwheat flour, sorghum flour, corn flour, sweet potato flour, etc., they are also classified and clearly priced.
If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, Tao Sixi suddenly felt that she had really lived in vain in her previous life.
Before meeting Chu Yunfei, she was a vassal of the old Tao family, and what she thought about the most every day was how to fly high branches to get rid of poverty and live a better life.
After meeting Chu Yunfei, she became a canary raised by him, even if she ran around with him for a few years in the middle, she was better than a horse when she was killed, and she never worried about her livelihood.
At this moment, seeing the price marked on this piece of wood, I secretly tightened a few taels of silver on my body, and I felt that it was really not an easy task to support the portal to live!
But no matter how difficult it is, she has to grit her teeth and hold on, because this is her own choice!
"Sister Sixi, did you understand it just now? What can you think of? Gu Nanxing walked over and asked her.
Tao Sixi thought for a while and said: "I heard from the shopkeeper that indica rice cooks a lot, but our Zhuang family usually boils more porridge, how can we have the conditions to eat white rice three times a day?" ”
"I think about it, let's weigh ten catties of indica rice, twenty catties of japonica rice, ten catties of coarse wheat flour, and ten catties of medium wheat flour."
Hearing Tao Sixi report so much in one breath, Gu Nanxing was shocked.
"Sister Sixi, if you count so much, I'm afraid it will cost more than one or two silver!" He said in a low voice, for fear that she would not understand the market and not have enough money at that time.
Tao Sixi nodded lightly: "Fifteen hundred yuan, converted into one tael of silver and five hundred wen, Brother Gu, don't worry, I have it." ”
Gu Nanxing was relieved at this time, and turned around to talk to the shopkeeper.
There was no need for Tao Sixi to do it himself, Gu Nanxing helped weigh it, check the quality of the rice grain, and after weighing, he loaded the tied bags into the wheelbarrow at the door.
And Tao Sixi took out two taels of silver to pay the bill, found 500 yuan, and asked the shopkeeper to take it, before he came out of the rice grain shop.
