Chapter 22: The First Pot of Gold
When the four of them returned home, the three brothers and sisters of the Li family only felt excited, and when they went to the upper room, they talked to Wang and Old Man Li about the affairs of the town.
Zhao Yunlan only felt tired, not because she was tired of selling things, but because she walked back and forth on this rugged country road.
"Hey" Zhao Yunlan sighed, rubbed her calf, finished the account in the room, and went to the room after resting for a while.
"Everyone is here, so I'll talk about today's income and expenses." Zhao Yunlan took Xiaobao and sat on the small desk with Xiaobao in her arms.
"Dad, mother, today we brought sixteen baskets to the town, including two baskets of fungus, two baskets of mushrooms, one basket of spring shoots, and eight eggs. The five baskets containing the mountain goods sold for a total of 100 wen, the eggs for 16 wen, and the remaining eleven baskets for 165 wen. A total of 281 cents were sold today. ”
Li Mingming shouted happily: "I didn't have time to count it today, it turns out that there is so much money." ”
Old man Li also rubbed his hands happily: "Okay, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sell it." ”
Wang's side also showed joy: "Mother knows that you are not mistaken, everyone has worked hard today." ”
Zhao Yunlan continued: "Well, in the town, a few of us bought vegetable buns and steamed buns to eat, and it cost ten yuan, even if I spent this money myself." ”
Li: "You eat it, you eat it, it's considered a public school, and you don't care so much about this little thing." ”
"Okay, then I'll go in, and I bought a pound of pork belly and a pound of fat in the back, which is twenty-seven yuan, ten yuan for seasonings, and half a pound of fine salt, which cost twenty yuan, and a total of sixty-seven yuan today." Zhao Yunlan finished talking about what he bought.
"How can I buy so much meat today, hey, what are you spending that extra money for!" Old man Li was distressed and frowned when he spent so much money.
Zhao Yunlan continued: "I originally wanted to buy plate oil, but when I went there, the plate oil was sold out, so I bought a pound of fat and came back, wanting to boil some oil." Dad, these are all for the body, and it's worth the money. We made the first pot of gold today, and it should be regarded as a reward. ”
Wang took a sip of water, "If you buy it, you will buy it, Lan Niang is measured in everything she does, since Lan Niang is now in charge, we don't interfere too much." This meat is also eaten by a large family. ”
Old man Li lowered his head and drank the water in the bowl and stopped talking.
Zhao Yunlan took a sip of water and continued: "Dad, we have earned two hundred and fourteen Wen in addition to the flowers today, since I dare to spend it, I can earn it back." ”
When Old Man Li heard that he still earned more than 200 Wen, his face relaxed a lot, and he couldn't blame Old Man Li for being so careful, everyone was used to being thrifty on weekdays, except for the eldest in the family, Wang bought medicine, He had spent so much money on food at once.
Zhao Yunlan saw that everyone had no problems, so she put away the account book and went to the kitchen to cook.
I bought the seasoning today, just for that bite of braised pork, Zhao Yunlan thought about it for a long time. Li Mingmei is on the side, and Li Mingmei has learned a lot about cooking with Zhao Yunlan recently. Zhao Yunlan is also satisfied because she can boil a large bowl of oil and save it, which means that the family has oil and does not panic, and slowly let the family have surplus food.
During dinner, Old Man Li had forgotten about buying more meat while eating braised pork, and he was holding the braised pork vigorously, and even almost grabbed the same piece of meat with Li Mingming, if it weren't for Xiaobao giggling next to him, Old Man Li remembered that he was a grandfather, so he let that piece of meat out. It's just that the last soup also entered Old Man Li's stomach with rice. Old man Li patted his stomach and looked forward to the next braised pork.
Zhao Yunlan and the Li family brothers and sisters covered their mouths and snickered beside them.
Before going to bed, Zhao Yunlan instructed Old Man Li not to weave flower baskets in the past few days, Old Man Li was puzzled, Zhao Yunlan explained: "There are not many people in the town who can use flower baskets, and the style of this flower basket is very good to be imitated. Let's go to the town the day after tomorrow to see what is going on. ”
Old man Li's mood this day was up and down, if he had been on a roller coaster, he would definitely be able to describe it, so he had to go back to the room with his head bowed at this time.
