The steamed bun shop at the entrance of Qinglu Village is a time-honored brand, and I heard that the owner of the steamed bun shop followed his father to sell steamed buns here when he was a child, and now his grandsons have been born. His buns are a must.

One penny for vegetarian stuffing, one penny for meat filling.

The vegetarian dishes include cucumbers, eggplant vermicelli, zucchini, leeks, shiitake mushrooms, and the meat filling is only pork and green onions.

It is also a bun skin made of white bread, but it can't wrap up the delicate and silky of his house, and the filling, no matter how it is seasoned, can't adjust the delicious taste of his house.

"But we all ate in the morning, don't forget, you also had a back meal." He Mai said with a smile.

Shancao scratched his head embarrassedly, and smiled, "But the bun is so big, how much appetite can it occupy?" Hemai, eat it, it's just you and me!"

Although Lin Hemai knew that the bun was delicious, she was really in no mood to worry about eating at this time, so she had to appease Shancao first and tell her not to worry, she went to the grocery store to buy something first, and if she had any money left, she invited Shancao to eat.

So, the two entered the grocery store one after the other.

It is said to be a grocery store, but after all, this is the place where Xiaoqing Village and Qinglu Village buy goods every day, and this grocery store is set up in a courtyard, from the yard to the two adobe houses, there are daily groceries for people to choose from.

When He Mai entered the shop, he went straight to the seasoning, choosing salt, sugar, sauce, vinegar, tea and other daily things.

The salt is gone, and the omelet in the morning is still fried by the old lady with the sauce fried the day before yesterday and a little in the egg batter, and the omelet is salty and delicious. He wheat was wrapped in oiled paper to support two taels, enough for the grandparents and grandchildren to eat for half a month.

The oil was boiled out of the skin oil on the pork sent by Yang Liulang yesterday, and the oil residue was still on the stove, but the lard was still not enough.

There is a stall selling meat in this grocery store, because the price is much more expensive than when the market is rushed, so no one comes to buy it, but at this moment there are still seven or eight days before the next market, and these days Hemai wants the old lady to eat something good, so he asked the price of the pork.

The owner of the pork stall ignored the answer, and when he saw that it was a little girl who came to ask, he lazily pointed out the price of all kinds of things.

The part that can boil out the lard is called plate oil, this thing is a pound of nine copper coins, and the pork belly is a pound of twelve copper coins, and the fat and meat are intertwined, and it is a good place to satisfy your hunger when you go home and fry the spicy seeds, and this price is naturally more expensive.

He Mai calculated, a pound of plate oil can not be refined into half a pound of lard, so he weighed four pounds of plate oil and a pound of pork belly.

The piece of meat sent by Yang Liulang yesterday was cut in half by Zhao's black heart, and it was fried again this morning, and there was nothing left, He Mai thought about it, and simply added another pound of pork belly, and paid a total of sixty copper coins.

He Mai bought two pairs of wooden chopsticks, these chopsticks are the cheapest category, two pairs of chopsticks for a penny, but they are very cheap, the most expensive one costs fifteen yuan a pair, she doesn't have spare money to buy such expensive chopsticks.

There were still some teacups and bowls and other things in the grocery store, He Mai remembered the stoneware bowls used by his grandparents and grandchildren, some of them had already opened a gap, and he had to be careful not to pull the corners of his mouth when eating, which was really uncomfortable, and after thinking for a long time, he added two stoneware bowls, and then moved away from the daily necessities.

Shancao helped her carry the oil and pork belly she bought, looked left and east, and said, "Hemai, didn't you say that you haven't eaten dumplings for a long time?" Do you want to weigh some white noodles? ”

This white flour was still the goods unloaded by the workers when the two of them first came in, and the fragrant wheat noodles were poured out of the sack, and the shopkeeper was careful not to let the white noodles pick up a little dust, and took care of them.

"The winter wheat is down, this is new wheat, and the girl weighs two catties?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

He Mai also felt greedy when she saw the white noodles, she had only eaten dumplings once on the way back to Xiaoqing Village with Lin Changjun, and she was extremely impressed by the dumplings.

The filling is large and thin, and when you bite it, a pool of oil and water flows out of it......

Despite his greed, Lin Hemai shook his head: "No, don't you want to eat steamed buns for a while?" Don't buy wheat noodles first. ”

The grocery store was much more expensive than the market in town, so she had to endure it and go to the market in a few days to buy more.

It's the white rice, Hemai hasn't tasted rice for a few days, and he can't help the temptation of the crystal clear rice grains, and weighed two catties of white rice, which is counted as sixteen copper coins.

He Mai paid the owner of the grocery store silver, salt, bamboo chopsticks, stoneware bowls, and white rice, and spent a total of 35 copper coins.

She had brought a tael of silver, and after paying for the meat and groceries, there was quite a lot left. But she had something else to ask.

"Boss, how do you sell the stone here?"

The boss accepted the money and was about to turn around and go out, when he saw He Mai asking, with a smile on his face, "Little girl, are you going to build a house or what are you doing?" ”

"I want to fix it simply, the roof leaks, and I'm afraid it won't be able to live in the rainy season. As long as the repair is not leaking. He Mai said.

Seeing her say this, Shancao gently dragged her beside her, and said in a low voice: "Hemai, how expensive it is to buy stones outside!" Hurry up Ming'er and let my brother come, and then find two helpers to put thatch on the thatched hut and make up for it? ”

He Mai hesitated and replied: "But the thatched hut is in disrepair, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to make up for it." I still have to buy stone and repair it. ”

The owner of the grocery store said: "Stone is not only sold, but also what kind of roof is repaired - thatched roof or loess roof or brick roof, different stones plus the wages of workers, are all calculated in this way." ”

"How much silver does that brick roof cost?" He Mai asked.

"How many rooms?"

"Only one."

The boss was stunned and said, "Only one?" There was not much silver, and the roof was paved with blue bricks and tiles, and it was very strong, and the workers could complete it in just one day, and it took five or six taels of silver to suffice. ”

Ho, so much! He Mai couldn't help but be surprised in his heart.

The boss didn't notice the change in her expression, but said understandingly: "Girl, if you want to repair the roof, you have to do it quickly, and the roof will have to be dried for a few days after repairing." After a few days of continuous spring rain, the roof is moldy, but it is very difficult to clean up. “

He Mai nodded and thanked him: "Okay, I know, if you repair the roof, you will bother Uncle Zhang again." ”

Saying goodbye to the couple at the grocery store, Hemai sighed and walked out of the grocery store.

Shancao saw her thoughts and said softly, "What are you worried about? I've just told you how expensive it is! What about five taels of silver, how much do we croppers harvest in a year? You're going to have to worry about getting a worker to fix the roof, and when you get back, I'll tell my brother to come and help. ”
