Chapter 18: The Mother Will Work Hard to Make Money
“……”
This is the goodbye of the intimate son and the leaky little padded jacket!
However, Su Wanwan still leaned over and took a bite on the second girl's wild vegetable cake.
Erniu looked at the tooth marks on the wild vegetable cake, lowered her head and grinned, she didn't know what she was happy about.
After eating, the lady set off again.
By the time I arrived in the county, it was already five quarters.
"Mother, I'm so hungry." Sanwa shouted quietly.
Su Wanwan took out a wild vegetable cake and handed it to him: "You fill your stomach first, and after my mother sells the things, we will go to find something to eat." ”
"Okay." Sanwa happily took the wild vegetable cake and nibbled on it.
Thinking of the things in her basket, she walked around the county according to her memory, and finally found the medicine hall with the best reputation in the county.
"Little brother, where is your shopkeeper? I have medicine to sell. ”
"Yes, I'll go to my shopkeeper, little lady, wait a minute."
Su Wanwan nodded and waited with two small ones.
There were people in the medicine hall, and she was finally squeezed into a corner.
"Mother, when are we going to wait?" The third baby touched her shriveled stomach and muttered pitifully.
"Wait a minute, they're busy." Su Wanwan said softly.
The second girl was silent on the side, and her two clear eyes lingered on the faces of the people who came and went.
But the lady didn't wait long, and soon the shopkeeper came out with the guy.
"Shopkeeper, it's the little lady over there who said she wanted to sell medicine."
"Okay, I'll go say hello, you can get busy." The shopkeeper nodded.
Seeing this, Su Wanwan greeted her, "Shopkeeper." ”
"Little lady, I heard that you have medicine to sell, what is it?"
"Deer antlers, deer bones, deer skins, deer tails......" Su Wanwan said as she took out the contents of the back basket.
Except for the venison, which was not taken, everything else was taken out.
The shopkeeper looked at him in shock: "Little lady, are you sure these are all sold?" ”
"Sure, these can be used in medicine, I believe the shopkeeper also knows, I only got this deer, and this is the only one that I sell, the shopkeeper, you liquidate it, let's be happy."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper was stunned at first, and then laughed: "Okay, the little lady is so refreshing, then I will naturally be happy." ”
Then, the shopkeeper muttered as he weighed the plate.
"Wild deer antler velvet is one catty and one tael of silver according to our price, and the deer antler velvet you take now is six catties, that is, six taels of silver, and deer skin ......."
Su Wanwan listened and nodded thoughtfully.
In ancient times, a tael of silver could be used for a long time.
Pork is only 20 yuan a catty, not to mention how cheap the others are.
If you can earn seven or eight taels in this pile of medicinal herbs this time, you can also maintain two meals a day.
By the time she thought about it, the shopkeeper had already counted all the money.
"Little lady, look at it, it's a total of seven taels and twenty dollars." The shopkeeper pushed the abacus over to Su Wanwan to see.
Su Wanwan didn't look at it, and nodded: "It's indeed this number, the shopkeeper's money!" ”
"The little lady can also do mental arithmetic?" The shopkeeper was shocked.
He had heard of some people who could calculate numbers without an abacus, and they all said that this arithmetic method was called 'mental arithmetic'.
"A little." Su Wanwan said modestly.
The shopkeeper glanced appreciatively and began to weigh the silver with a bucket.
Less, one hand to pay and one hand to deliver.
Su Wanwan took the money and left.
Leaving the medicine hall, she first took the child to the porridge shop, asked for three bowls of vegetarian porridge and six meat buns, and spent ten cents.
The two little ones had never eaten meat buns, and this meal directly brought them to tears.
The three babies gulped: Woo woo, the meat buns are delicious.
"Mother, can we still eat meat buns in the future?"
"Yes, my mother will work hard to make money, so that you can eat meat buns when you want to." Su Wanwan reached out and touched Sanwa's head.
The second girl took a bite of the bun in her hand and ate the taste: "What about me?" Bad woman. ”
Su Wanwan knew that Erniu needed to be coaxed, so she said in a soft tone: "When I make money, you can also eat, after all, you are my daughter and my child." ”
Sure enough, her words were very useful, and the second girl's face turned red after hearing it.
"What about the eldest brother, will you buy meat buns for the eldest brother, daddy and third uncle?"
Su Wanwan nodded: "Yes, when we go back, we can buy it for them to take back." ”
Raise these first, and when you leave, you can easily relax, so as not to tear your face and leave resentment.
After eating, she had to go to the tavern first, and she was going to sell the venison.
I went to several houses, but when they saw the blackened meat, they all refused, and she didn't want to explain it.
But in the end, the hard work paid off, and in a not very conspicuous tavern, the shopkeeper was willing to buy her bacon, and the shopkeeper still knew what bacon was.
Rare is expensive, venison is very rare, the shopkeeper gave a pound of fifty wen, and the venison she brought was fifty-two catties, that is, two taels and six hundred wen.
With the remaining seven taels and ten wen just now, she now has nine taels and six hundred and ten wen on her.
After determining the amount of money, she put nine taels of silver into the space to guard, and took out the remaining six hundred and ten wen to use.
"Mother, where are we going now?"
"Go and see the rice, we're going to eat the rice later."
Hearing this, Sanwa's eyes were full of surprise.
At this time, an uncle who sells sugar gourds walked by, and shouted by the way: "Selling sugar gourds, two pennies and a string of ......"
The two little eyes looked at the sugar gourd, and they both subconsciously licked the corners of their mouths.
Su Wanwan happened to see it, so she shouted, "Two strings of sugar gourds." ”
The uncle who was about to cross the lady hurriedly stopped and took two strings of sugar gourds, "Little lady, two strings." ”
After giving the money, she handed the sugar gourd to the two small ones: "Eat it, if you still want to eat it, you can buy it when you get home." ”
The two little ones nodded frantically.
The second girl squinted her eyes happily while licking the syrup: when a bad woman is not bad, it is still very good, and she likes it very much.
Subsequently, Su Wanwan took the two small ones to the rice shop, and she wanted to buy rice as a staple food.
Not to mention the Lu family brothers, these three little ones are either wild vegetables or corn paste on weekdays, so they can't eat enough at all.
When the three little ones have a long body, they still have to eat rice, otherwise the thin strips are particularly pitiful.
Su Wanwan went to the rice shop and asked.
One bucket is equal to six catties, one catty of rice is twelve wen, and one catty of millet is three wen, and the most expensive is rice.
That's why the vast majority of people don't have access to white rice.
One pound of rice is enough for three adult men or five women, and if it is a family of many people, it will eat more than a dozen copper plates in one meal!
"Shopkeeper, weigh five catties of rice, five catties of millet, and five catties of flour......"
Su Wanwan said while pointing in the shop.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he was ecstatic and filled the rice bag with what she wanted.
A moment later.
"Little lady, you ...... Can you carry it? The shopkeeper's eyes widened as she stuffed everything into the basket.
