The two of them then went to a grocery store next to them, and the salt cost ten cents a catty, and both of them bought salt, and Tao Sixi also beat two catties of rapeseed oil by the way, and bought a bamboo paper for Daping to practice calligraphy, plus a brand-new brush.

I bought a needle and thread for my stepmother, straw paper for the toilet at home, and three large pu fans made of banana leaves.

Every night when I go to bed, the eldest sister yells that it is hot, and it is much more comfortable to sleep at night with a big pu fan.

Just as she was about to leave the grocery store, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye.

He turned around and returned to the place where he had bought bamboo paper for Daping before, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, show me that thing." ”

This trip cost nearly two hundred dollars.

Looking at the remaining three hundred yuan in his hand, Tao Sixi asked Gu Nanxing, who was pushing a wheelbarrow, to wait at the entrance of Washi, entered Washi by himself, and went straight to the stall selling meat.

"Uncle, what's the meat going on?" She asked, scanning the lined up meat on the meat case.

"Eighteen wen a pound of pork belly, fifteen small chops and big rows, ten wen of bobbin bones, and eight wen a pound of pigs in the water......"

Tao Sixi pondered.

Pork belly is the most expensive because the fat in the pork belly can be used to refine oil.

The refined lard is placed in the jar and sealed, and it can be eaten for a long time, and the oil shuttle can also be eaten as a vegetable, which can be used for multiple purposes in one fell swoop.

Weighing the money in her hand, she said to the butcher: "Uncle, ten catties of pork belly and two catties of bones." ”

"Okay!"

The butcher picked up a sharp machete, chopped the bones, and cut ten catties of pork, Tao Sixi asked him to cut the pork into three parts at a ratio of three catties, three catties and four catties, and tied them with ropes made of straw.

When he received the 200 yuan handed over by Tao Sixi, the butcher was very happy to make this big deal, and cut half a catty of pork liver and stuffed it over, which was a gift.

Tao Sixi was very happy, thanked him a few words, picked up his things and turned around and left.

Behind another pork stall not far behind, a butcher in his fifties with broad shoulders and a round waist was looking at Tao Sixi, his face full of suspicion.

"What do you see, boss?"

A mother-in-law about his age asked.

The butcher said: "The little girl did a lot of business in Lao Liu's before, why are I a little familiar with my facial features?" It seems to be the four girls in the big house of our in-laws in Tang Village? ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she was also a little surprised, and stood on tiptoe to look over there.

Today is the day of the market, there are many people in Washi, and I didn't see the four girls that the butcher said at all.

"Xu is dazzling, just the old lady of our in-laws' nose is too salty to use as salt, how can you be willing to send the girl at home to buy so much meat?"

"Even if you want to open meat, it is to send our son-in-law Chunsheng to the town for a trip, Chunsheng must be doing our family's business, and the person in charge must be you looking away!"

At this time, they hadn't heard about the old Tao family's separation. So Zhu Butcher nodded, "Well, maybe I'm looking away!" ”

Let's say that Tao Sixi bought pork and bones, and walked in front of the stall selling vegetables again, bought potatoes, eggplants, beans, and gourds, and when she came out of the tile market, the two taels of silver that had been dissolved before had been spent.

There are still two taels of silver left in the pocket, and there are also her dividends in the hospital during this period of time in the pocket on the other side, and there are also more than 200 yuan.

More than 200 yuan is reserved for the daily expenses of the family, and she resolutely does not move the two taels of silver, which is the dowry money saved for the eldest sister.

Originally, I planned to save four taels of silver together, but after thinking about it, the six members of the family have to live, so I will save half of the dowry money first, and then think of another half.
