Shen Su'e pulled the mule cart and walked to the vicinity of the bun stall, and saw the boss loading steamed buns for people, the hot steamed buns were very large, and the other party gave four cents.

"A steamed bun costs four cents?" An onlooker said, "It's too expensive, a steamed bun in a state-owned store is only a penny." ”

"Why don't you say that people in state-owned stores charge one or two food stamps for a steamed bun? I don't have food stamps here, of course it's more expensive! The stall owner shouted, "Don't gather around here if you don't buy it, it will affect others to buy it." ”

The person who was scolded by him blushed, and deliberately raised the bar with him: "Hey! I just love to look around here, you care about me, the road is so big, and you are not alone. ”

"What do you mean? You're here on purpose, aren't you? ”

"I'm just looking for something on purpose, what's wrong? Your price is too high, I can't say yet? You sell it so expensive, do the people in the state-run store agree? Did you say yes? I see, you're a speculator, and you're going to jail!"

The boss of the bun stall turned pale, and said excitedly: "What do I want to do, this flour is milled by my own family, and the pig is also raised by myself, originally the pig I wanted to sell to the purchase station last year, but the weight was not up to standard, and the purchase station didn't want it, so I could only use it to make meat buns and sell them......"

Before he finished speaking, the person who deliberately found fault before shouted loudly: "Everyone comes to evaluate the theory, his steamed buns sell for four cents a piece, and the buns sell for a dime and two cents, is it speculation?" ”

"It's really too expensive, a dime and two buns, this is trying to rob it!" Everyone didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and there were many discussions, "I think this is speculation!" If everyone is like him, isn't the market chaotic? Isn't that right? ”

"If you think the buns are expensive, if you don't buy them, why do you say that others are speculative? Isn't this trying to kill people? ”

"Yes, it's not easy for fellow villagers to make some money." For a while, there were different opinions, everyone gathered around the booth, and there were people who had anything to say.

Xiao Lingbao, who was sitting on the cart, was confused when she heard this, and asked her mother suspiciously: "Mother, what does speculation mean?" ”

"It's to buy people's things at a low price, and then sell them at a high price, making a difference in the middle, just because of these speculative people, the originally cheap things have become expensive."

Lingbao was puzzled: "But doesn't this uncle sell buns using his own flour and pork?" I didn't buy it with anyone else. ”

Her mother nodded, "Yes, I also don't think this is speculation, I guess everyone wants to eat meat buns, but I think the things he sells are too expensive, so I deliberately said this." ”

When the mother and daughter spoke, the stall owner didn't want to provoke the public's anger, so he had to lower the price, "Forget it, just let me be unlucky today, Baozi...... Five cents, five cents, right? I can't say I'm speculating. ”

"What about steamed buns? How much does it cost? The first person to stir up trouble said, "If it's a penny, I'll buy five steamed buns!" ”

The stall owner who sold steamed buns hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I don't sell a penny, I still need food stamps to buy white noodles in the grain store, I don't collect food stamps, if it is sold so cheaply, then I would rather keep it and go home and eat it myself." ”

"Then two cents, two cents at most, state-run stores sell for one penny, you sell two cents here, it's already twice as expensive as others, everyone says yes?"

"Yes, yes," said the man who wanted to take advantage, "two cents no more, that's pretty much the real price." ”

The stall owner sighed helplessly, "Hey, okay, two points is two points, and I'll go home early when it's sold out." ”

His words fell, and everyone squeezed to buy steamed buns.

Compared with meat buns, steamed buns are more affordable, although meat buns are delicious and have pork filling, but five cents is still quite expensive for many people.

"Grandma, I want to eat steamed buns." Tugen said.

"You're sitting in the car, I'm going to buy you buns." After Shen Su'e finished speaking, she was worried that it would be difficult to take the money if people were crowded later, so she first took out a dime or two from her pocket, held it tightly in her hand, and squeezed into the crowd.

When it was her turn, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there a lot of meat in this meat bag?" Don't be all skin, buns are three cents more expensive than steamed buns. ”

"Don't worry, you see that the oil of this meat filling is about to seep out, ouch, tell me how expensive pork is now? Seven cents and twenty-one pounds, and I still need meat tickets, I can't afford to sell this bun, such a big bun is only five cents. ”

Listening to him complain for a while, the people around him said impatiently: "It's not for sale, it's really!" Hurry up. ”

"Okay, good ......" hurriedly responded a few times, and the stall owner asked Shen Su'e, "Do you want buns?" ”

"Give me two buns and a steamed bun."

"Two buns and one steamed bun, right? A dime and a half. After the boss accepted the money, he sandwiched the steamed buns and buns into an oiled paper bag and handed them out.

Shen Su'e took the steamed buns she had just bought, ran back to the mule cart quickly, handed the two steamed buns to her daughter and grandson respectively, and ate the rest of the steamed buns by herself.

It had been more than three hours since he finished eating the egg cake, and Tugen was already a little hungry at this time, and after he got the bun, he took a big bite, and the oil in the pork filling splashed out, and his mouth was full of oil.

"Yo! Yes, there is indeed a lot of pork filling, and it seems that the stall owner is a real person who did not cut corners. ”

After speaking, seeing that Lingbao didn't eat a bite, Shen Su'e hurriedly said: "Lingbao, you eat quickly, look at Tugen, the bun in Tugen's hand is almost finished." ”

Lingbao asked: "Mother, why are your buns different from Lingbao's?" Mine is round, yours is square. ”

"Huh? I'm not a bun, it's a steamed bun, and my mother loves to eat steamed buns. ”

"Mother deceives people, no one doesn't like to eat pork...... " said this, the little milk baby guessed, "Did you buy ducks and mules just now, and spent a lot of money, so my mother is reluctant to spend money?" ”

"Hey, although this mule only cost eight yuan, which is more than half cheaper than the market price, but eight yuan is also expensive, plus the money to buy the duck, more than ten yuan is gone, this money is really to save a little money."

Looking at his mother's worries about money, Lingbao thought that it would be good if the money in the space could be used in reality, but Wuyun said no......

How can you make money in reality? The milk doll looked at the bun stall not far away, and suddenly had an idea, "Mother, can we also make buns to sell in the market?" In this way, there is no need to worry about running out of money. ”

"This ...... It's a good idea, but we don't have meat. ”

As soon as the words fell, Shen Su'e said to herself: "But it doesn't matter if you don't have meat, we just need to sell steamed buns, I think there are more people who buy steamed buns." ”

"Buns don't have to be pork buns, you can make some sauerkraut buns, just like dumplings with different fillings." Lingbao proposed.

"That's a good idea! The main thing is that we have mule carts now, and it is convenient to sell things," Shen Su'e said with a smile, "Then we have to buy a steamer later, and then come to the market tomorrow to sell steamed buns and sauerkraut buns." ”
