Chapter 49: Prices
readx;? It wasn't until he came back to his senses that Yan Zhaoming tightly covered his pocket, quickly put the empty wide-mouthed deep urn into the basket, and immediately hugged Yan Shunhua to the other end, and walked forward without saying a word. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's not that he hasn't seen so much money, but he has never received so many copper plates at one time.
"Little sister, let's go to the third uncle's house first and exchange all the money. ”
Save yourself from carrying a large handful on the road, like a moving cornucopia, which attracts people's attention.
He was worried in his heart, and his steps were the boss, but the faster the copper coins in his pocket, the more frequent they sounded, and he reluctantly lowered his speed, and the sound was weakened, but he always felt that the small pocket was panicked, and the eyes of passers-by beside him were also very eye-catching.
Yan Shunhua was a little helpless, with such a little income, Yan Zhaoming was so uncontrollable, as if she had been a thief, and even the basket was very bumpy, which made her sit very uncomfortable.
"Brother, do you want me to come down and walk by myself?"
She mentioned it twice, but Yan Zhaoming didn't hear it because he was just in a hurry. In the end, he saw a small candy shop, Yan Shunhua shouted to go down to buy candy, and he hesitated to stop.
"You promised me to buy as much as you wanted. Brother, you don't want to break your word, do you?"
Of course Yan Zhaoming didn't want to, so the brother and sister entered this Li Ji sugar cake shop.
What disappointed Yan Shunhua was that in addition to all kinds of good-looking pastries in the shop, almost all the sweets were so-called frosting sugar, starch syrup, and a small part of honey and sweet juice.
The so-called frosted sugar is actually sugar made from sugar cane, because it becomes white after crystallization, like frost, so it gets this name. Later generations called it white sugar.
As for caramel sugar, it is a starch sugar made from grains, which tastes sweet and sticky, and is essentially maltose.
Yan Shunhua is not fond of sweetness, so although he bought a box of all kinds of pastries, he only bought a small packet of candy, twisted one into his mouth, and it was over.
Yan Zhaoming originally wanted to persuade her not to buy so many pastries, many of which Yan Liu's would make, but seeing that she opened her hands, the calf guards generally blocked the twenty boxes of pastries behind her, remembering that it was the first time she came to the market with her, and her mother was pregnant and might not be able to make them for her to eat, so she gritted her teeth and paid.
In just a short period of time, she had already spent three hundred and twenty-six dollars.
The speed of making money is fast enough, and the effort to spend money is also amazing!
Seeing that his heart ached, Yan Shunhua thought of Yan Sifang's situation, and finally felt a little embarrassed.
In the past, although her family was not a wealthy family, it was more than enough to be more than the top, and she never suffered for three meals a day.
Especially later, not to mention that she was able to make money, her parents always put pocket money on her card from time to time.
For a long time, she went here to have fun, went there to sweep goods, and spent money at a speed like flowing water, and never paid attention.
Always thinking that one person can feed the whole family and not be hungry, although after that period of adaptation, she has restrained a lot, and has not fallen into the habit of spending lavishly, eating what should be eaten, drinking what should be drunk, but the money that should not be spent is never spent indiscriminately, the expenses have dropped significantly, and the savings have risen sharply.
But now it seems that not to mention saving money, it would be good if she could not add the additional burden of four rooms.
Even a few illnesses, taking medicine and seeing a doctor cost money, not to mention the fact that it also costs a lot of meat in the family to raise the body, and the production of these livestock should be converted into family income.
The guilt in Yan Shunhua's heart became deeper and deeper.
Three hundred wen, according to Yan Zhaoming, is enough for two or three months of expenses for four rooms. After all, there is no shortage of anything at home, the grain and vegetables are all grown by themselves, and the oil is also squeezed from the tea trees planted on the mountain or peanuts produced in the ground, at most they buy some salt, condiments, cloth, silk thread, tissue paper and some pots and dishes.
You must know that even the tables, stools, barrels and chopsticks at home are all made by Yan Shengguo's father and son!
Thinking of this, her expression froze, and her steps suddenly became a little heavy.
She was so casual that she almost made herself a loser.
Yan Zhaoming probably felt that his words were too heavy, and when he saw her drooping her head, he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he hurriedly comforted her.
But in the end, he was not a person who could speak well, so after a few sentences, he shut up, and took her to Yan Shengding's grocery store without saying a word.
Their third uncle is not there, and it is said that he has gone to buy the goods. Sixteen-year-old Yan Zhaohui was idle all day long, and this time he was also escorted to see the world.
As for the third uncle, Yan Luo, happened to be in another grocery store, so the person who received them was a shopkeeper surnamed Xiao.
This man was on official business, and received two thousand copper plates, and then handed over two taels of silver.
So they didn't drink a cup of hot tea, and the brother and sister went to the crowded street again.
At this time, Yan Shunhua had already come to his senses, and looked at him as usual to buy household necessities. I bought it all the way, and it cost less than 60 yuan in total, and it was all ready. Then when I arrived at Yunxiu Shop, I stopped.
She didn't go in, but stood outside and looked at the basket, which was full of all sorts of things, and at the top was a large bag of neatly arranged pastry boxes, which made her heart choke when she saw it.
"This sachet is good-looking, but it's too expensive, wasn't it only ten cents a piece last time? ”
"But this new batch is much more beautiful than the previous ones. You have six pieces of silver a month, and you can't afford a sachet? ”
"That's it, Sister Lilac, the purse I bought cost a full five cents of silver, it's all about to go bankrupt, don't mumble, and pity my empty purse." ”
A group of teenage girls came out of the shop, talking and laughing.
They are well-proportioned, about the same height, and they are wearing uniform outfits, except for the flowers embroidered on the skirts, the colors and styles are exactly the same, so that at first glance, it is almost impossible to tell who is who.
"Zhuxiang, you sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, I still have my father and mother and younger siblings to raise, how can you be as listless as you?"
The voice was gentle, with a hint of obvious distress in it.
"Yo, it's as if your eldest brother is eating idle food. Didn't you marry his daughter-in-law with the money you sold? Why, you're still going to ask for your sister with a shy face and ask for your hard-earned money? Didn't he pretend not to see you when he saw you on the street before? People clearly dislike you as a slave, and you still want to dig out your heart and lungs for that family? Fool. ”
"Don't say that, it's my home anyway. It's just because I'm poor that I'm like that. The last time I went back, my father and mother were still crying. Originally, I wanted to buy a wipe for my mother, but 200 yuan was too expensive. I still have to save money. If only I embroidered it myself and she liked it, hey, I don't know if I can buy it she likes. ”
Maybe it's because of the lack of confidence, when it comes to the back, Lilac's voice is a little uneasy, and even the distant footsteps are quickly weakened.
"Love or don't wear it, don't wear it and pull it down. Why are you so entangled? Every time I go home, I collect all your monthly money, and I don't necessarily come to see you once. I don't think your parents miss you as much as they say they do. Wake up, don't be stupid, the more you do this, the more they get inch. ”
Yan Shunhua stared intently for a while, until Zhuxiang noticed it, turned her head and glared at her fiercely, and then withdrew her gaze calmly.
It happened that Yan Zhaoming came out, and she greeted her.
"What? What price did they give?"
Yan Zhaoming put away the newly bought fabric and silk thread, and then took her back on the road.
"The sachet is four cents each, the purse is ten cents, and the handkerchief is six cents. The amount of wiping is more expensive, forty wen apiece. I just got 800 Wen. ”
There are ten wipes, and the other three things are twenty, except for the two cloths and silk threads just bought, which were used for 400 and 60 respectively, and the embroidery income is still 340 wen.
Yan Zhaoming reported the prices one by one, and the more Yan Shunhua listened, the darker his face became.
Yunxiu Shop made a huge profit.
Sure enough, there is no treachery!
