Chapter 20 Purchasing

"Next, it's a matter of purchasing." She was tired of the clear soup and the lack of water, and she didn't want to eat the cheapest inferior rice at home. When she has money, she wants to buy grain, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, everything.

Qiao Xu looked at his sister dotingly, without any objections.

Qiao Mo'er directly asked Qiao Guangfa to lead the way to the grain store, and the owner of the grain store did not look down on a few people because of their clothes, but he was not very enthusiastic.

Qiao Mo'er looked at the grain with a clear price, and waved her hand directly to the boss, "Boss, I want five catties of thick noodles, ten catties of fine noodles, just that white noodles, and ten catties of rice." ”

"This girl, you..."The fine white noodles cost twenty-five yuan a pound, seeing Qiao Mo'er shouting so simply, the boss looked her up and down, a little hesitant.

"Boss, you just have to pretend as my sister said." Qiao Xu said with a smile.

The boss will be suspicious and let the guy pretend.

"A pound of fine white flour is twenty-five wen, and ten catties is two hundred and fifty wen. Ten pounds of rough noodles is a pound, and five pounds is fifty pounds. Twenty pounds of rice is one pound, and ten pounds is two hundred pounds. It's a total of 500 texts. After the installation was completed, the boss counted the accounts.

I was grateful to Uncle Lu for giving me some copper plates just now, Qiao Mo'er took them out of her arms, counted five hundred copper plates, and handed them to the boss.

After putting all the grain into the back basket, Qiao Mo'er, who was about to leave, paused again, turned around and asked, "Boss, do you have vegetables here?" ”

There are only a few kinds of vegetables in the small vegetable garden at home, and she wants to have a variety of them, and then ask her mother to buy some chickens and two piglets, and she can feed them if she can't finish eating.

"Yes." Seeing that Qiao Mo'er paid the money happily just now, the boss's attitude was much better, and he led Qiao Mo'er to the other side of the store and introduced it in detail.

Qiao Mo'er bought some vegetable seeds, and when she stepped out of the door of the grain store and stood on the street, she was still a little puzzled, looking at the grain and vegetables in the grain store, it seemed that there were all kinds of vegetables. In that case, why don't people here know that crabs can be eaten?

If you don't understand, you don't want to, Qiao Mo'er shook her head, thinking about what else to buy.

"Let's cut some meat." When passing by the meat stall, Qiao Mo'er couldn't walk anymore, swallowed her saliva, and rushed up without waiting for Qiao Guangfa and Qiao Xu to answer.

"Boss, I want two catties of fat meat that can be refined into oil, two catties of pure lean meat, and three big bones."

"Hey."

The owner of the butcher stall held a heavy kitchen knife in his hand, cut the meat in a few clicks, wrapped it in oiled paper and handed it to Qiao Mo'er, "It's a total of three hundred and eighty Wen." ”

After paying, Qiao Moer went to the grocery store to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. One back basket couldn't fit it, so she had to buy another back basket to separate things and reduce weight. It's just that on the way home, Qiao Guangfa and Qiao Xu didn't carry it for her, and in the end, in addition to carrying the silver, Qiao Mo'er was empty-handed.

When she was on the road, Qiao Mo'er pulled a lot of grass on the side of the road, covered the things in the basket, and didn't go home until she couldn't see it.

"Mother, we're back." As soon as she entered the courtyard, Qiao Mo'er shouted.

It was Dou'er who came out first, followed by Han's, seeing Qiao Guangfa and Qiao Xu's back baskets, he sighed slightly, pulled Qiao Mo'er to the house, and said as he walked, "It's okay, we keep it for our own food." ”

"Huh?" These words made Qiao Mo'er a little confused.

"Mo'er is not sad, if the big clip can't be sold, we will eat it ourselves, and it is also a bowl of dishes."

Now Qiao Mo'er understood that her mother was worried that she didn't sell the crabs, and she was afraid that she would be sad.

hurriedly said, "Mother, we sold it." ”

"Mo'er doesn't need to comfort her mother, that thing has no one to eat and can't be sold..."Han thought that Qiao Mo'er's words were comforting her, and as she was talking, she saw Qiao Mo'er take out a few ingots of silver from her arms, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, grabbed Qiao Mo'er's hand and said nervously, "Mo'er, even if our family is poor, we have backbone, but we can't do those things like stealing chickens and dogs." ”

"Mother, where do you want to go?" Qiao Mo'er couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly told Han Shi about selling crabs.
