Chapter 8: Knowing the Monkey

"Yes, it's just the last 5 catties, I'll close the stall after I sell it, if you want it, I'll give you all the dollars and pounds!"

"A pound for a dollar?" Shen Xiangbei almost screamed, but he quickly lowered his voice: "Show me, I want all the good words." ”

He asked around, the cheapest white noodles cost two yuan and five pounds, and the expensive three yuan are available, and the two yuan and one pound of white noodles are not particularly white, and the grinding is not meticulous. He thought that as long as this white face was not too bad, he would want it.

As a result, I opened the cloth and looked at it, good guy, this is a rich and strong fan, right? So white, so fine, he earns blood!

Hurriedly paid five yuan, and Shen Xiangbei carried it away.

Shen Ruoqing also hurriedly went out and changed his clothes back. The black coat was so hot that it was almost hot to death. Fortunately, it can be sold back to the system, but after wearing it, the system only charges six yuan for recycling. Eh, we have to hurry up and make money to buy space.

"Ruoqing, where did you go? I just looked around and couldn't find you. ”

"Fourth brother, I'm not in a hurry to urinate, why don't I go find the toilet, I have bought everything?"

"That's not it, your fourth brother is still not at ease when he goes out? Let's go back. ”

Shen Xiangbei and Shen Ruoqing went back.

"Mom, don't say that I'm not filial to be a son, now white noodles, do you know how much a pound is? Three dollars a pound! This is still in short supply, I also bought five catties, which cost me 15 yuan, and my son's savings can be all smashed on it. ”

As soon as he entered the door, Shen Xiangbei complained to Mrs. Ji, and said that his white noodles for one dollar and one pound were three yuan and one pound. Mrs. Ji originally didn't believe it, but after looking at the white face, good guy, it was very white, so she believed the statement of three yuan a catty.

"Mom knows, I didn't raise you in vain." Mrs. Ji casually praised Shen Xiangbei for a few words, picked up the food and left.

"Mom, I'll help you carry the weight of this grain."

A total of 55 pounds and taels, how can this little old lady carry it?

"Yes, you can help us carry it back." Mrs. Ji didn't plan to carry it herself, she was waiting for Shen Xiangbei to open this mouth.

It was already noon when I returned to Shen's house.

"The fourth one should stay for lunch." It's all ordered, and I'm embarrassed not to keep it.

"No, Mom, I'll go back first."

"Why, you don't look down on our nest?"

"How dare you, Mom, don't I think Mom's food here is not enough to eat."

"If you are told to stay, I will stay, I am not polite to you, don't talk so much nonsense."

Shen Xiangbei didn't squeak, Mrs. Ji rarely stayed with him for dinner, but today she left him for lunch, and it seemed that she still benefited from the five catties of white noodles.

"Mom, the fourth brother stays at home for dinner, I'll go change two eggs." Shen Ruoqing's senses in this fourth brother are quite good.

"Look at how good your sister is to you, you have to get eggs for you when you come, my old woman doesn't have this treatment, you have to remember your sister-in-law in the future." As soon as Mrs. Ji seized the opportunity, she began to brainwash Shen Xiangbei, although she felt that it might be her good baby who wanted to eat eggs.

Now a piece of eggs is five pounds, this is the price of the supply and marketing cooperatives, a pound of eggs like this kind of farmer under the soil eggs are small, there are ten, an egg will cost a dime and a half, it is a precious thing that farmers are usually reluctant to eat.

Shen Ruoqing exchanged the grain she had just bought for eggs and exchanged it for five, and she was going to make up for the loss of this bit of food secretly. Now that she has bought more than 50 catties of food, as long as she secretly adds a little, who can find out?

Mrs. Ji felt a little distressed when she saw Shen Ruoqing take five eggs, these grains are all high-priced grains bought from the black market, you can exchange them for two, why do you need to exchange them for five?

"Mom, let's fry it all and eat it."

"What a loser, I just exchanged for such a little food, and all of it was fooled by you." Although she said blaming words, Mrs. Ji followed Shen Ruoqing, "Old man, let's all fry it." This is your sister, I feel sorry for you, I am afraid that you will not have enough to eat, so I deliberately took a few more eggs out. ”

Shen Xiangbei was also a little moved at this time, maybe his mother was right, this sister was really thinking about his brother.

Good guy, these eggs exchanged for public food have all become the credit of Shen Ruoqing alone.

At noon, eat wild vegetable paste and wowotou, plus a leek scrambled egg, which can be said to be very hearty.

Because there are eggs, everyone on the dinner table is rushing quickly, if it weren't for Mrs. Ji giving Shen Ruoqing two chopsticks, Shen Ruoqing wouldn't have been able to eat this egg.

The plate of scrambled eggs with leeks was empty at once.

It seems that there are still fewer eggs, no way, there are many people in the family. Shen Ruoqing thought secretly in his heart.

After eating, Shen Xiangbei said goodbye and left.

Shen Ruoqing touched her stomach, she still has 412.54 yuan left, and it is very fast to go to the black market, but she can't go to the black market all the time, the road is too far and unrealistic. In addition to digging herbs and wild vegetables, is there any other way to get money quickly?

"Sister-in-law, I caught the monkey, and you will burn it and eat it later." Shen Hansong was holding a jar, and there were five or six monkeys in the jar.

The peasant families are hungry for meat, and they are reluctant to buy it, and every summer they know that the day when the monkey is unearthed is their happiest day. Generally, it is boiled and eaten by the monkey, or roasted and eaten over a fire, which is delicious, after all, this is meat, or meat that does not cost money. Shen Hansong heard Mrs. Ji say that Shen Ruoqing needed to make up for it, so he deliberately went to catch it.

Shen Ruoqing knows the monkey, but he hasn't eaten it, this thing is rarely eaten in modern times, it is rare to eat pure natural and pollution-free things, all of them are heavy metals that exceed the standard, but there are many more people who eat it, and this thing is still expensive.

"Drop-Golden cicada detected, seven yuan a catty, is it for sale?"

Shen Ruoqing was shocked, this monkey can also be sold for money?

"Han Song, where did you catch this monkey?"

"I came back and caught it in the woods, it's summer, isn't this thing everywhere?" Shen Hansong touched his head, a little puzzled why his sister-in-law was suddenly so excited.

"Can you help me catch some more of this monkey?"

"This ......" Shen Hansong looked embarrassed, "Sister-in-law, I still have to go to work in the afternoon, or I'll help you catch it when I come back in the evening, there are a lot of words at night." ”

There is no one in the whole family who does not work, except for Shen Ruoqing. Even if it is the Wang family, although he has a big belly and does not go to work, he still has to do housework at home, help cook or something. It's just that Wang's cooking is not as delicious as Han's's cooking, and it is generally made of meat dishes, and Mrs. Ji let Han take over.

Shen Ruoqing said: "Okay, go and catch the monkey at night, you call the three girls together." ”

Shen Xiangbei didn't care too much, he thought it was Shen Ruoqing who was hungry for meat, and hurriedly promised to take the juniors of the Shen family to catch the monkey in the evening.

These five or six monkeys are too few to buy, and the system mall only gives a price of three cents and five. Shen Ruoqing put it away and decided to sell it together after it had accumulated more.

In the afternoon, Shen Ruoqing went to dig up wild vegetables and medicinal herbs as usual, and earned 41 yuan.
