Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

Don't underestimate this 1 penny. The more you ask for, the more you save. After Shen Ping calculated it, it was still a good deal to buy 100 kilograms. This way you can save 100 pennies.

"Okay, bring me 60 kilograms of polished rice and 40 kilograms of polished noodles." Shen Ping said arrogantly.

"Okay...sister-in-law is really happy."

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance. I didn’t expect that this inconspicuous village woman in front of me would order more than 100 kilograms of polished rice and noodles in one go.

The shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear, responded happily, and began to weigh rice and noodles.

Dachun became anxious when he heard this: "Mom, we can just eat black noodles. Let's buy black noodles!"

"You like to eat polished rice, just buy some for you, and we'll eat black noodles, which are cheaper!"

"Yes, mother, although we have some money, we still have to save some money."

Miharu couldn't help but said, "I finally got some money, but my mother is so arrogant again, she is really a spendthrift."

"Okay, if you don't want me to buy polished rice, then I'll gamble with the money." Shen Ping rolled her eyes. He turned around and said to the shopkeeper again.

"Shopkeeper, don't weigh me anymore, I don't want it anymore... After saying that, I was about to turn around and leave.

"Hey, mother... why are you like this! If you go gambling again, how can our whole family survive?" Dachun and Sanchun were anxious.

"I've earned money, but I can't eat well, so why should I use it? I might as well gamble with it, maybe I can win more!"

Dachun was discouraged all of a sudden, so he just said casually, and his mother said that she wanted to gamble. If she wanted to gamble, she might as well buy something and eat it.

"Sister-in-law, do you still want to buy it now?" the shopkeeper asked cautiously. The village woman in front of him was tall and mighty, and she seemed not to be trifled with.

In addition, her current mood didn't look very good, but he didn't want to miss this customer, so he had no choice but to ask.

"How about it! Do you want me to buy it? If you don't let me buy it, I'll gamble with it!" Shen Ping looked at the two cheap sons in front of her calmly.

"Then let's buy it!" Dachun said helplessly. Instead of letting her gamble, it would be better to buy food and eat it.

Hey! Sample... Shen Ping couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and finally thought of what to use to stop your mouths.

The shopkeeper speeded up his movements after hearing this, fearing that if he moved too slowly, they would regret it later.

60 kilograms of polished rice equals 1440 wen, and 40 kilograms of fine flour equals 760 wen, adding up to a total of 2200 wen, which is two taels of silver, plus 200 copper coins.

"Shopkeeper, give me two more pounds of salt!"

"Okay, 4 cents per catty, two catties is 8 cents. The total adds up to two taels of silver plus 208 copper coins." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

It would be great if there were a few more customers like this every day, except for some wealthy families who could afford polished rice and noodles.

Many farmers don't have much money on hand. Even if they want to buy, they mostly buy cheap black noodles.

There isn’t much profit from black noodles, so you still have to sell refined noodles and rice to make a high profit.

"Look, you two, your mother and I are better at running a house. We saved more than 200 yuan by buying this food."

Dachun and Sanchun's faces twitched for a while, and their hearts ached. Mom spent all the money from selling mushrooms.

Seeing Shen Ping's proud look, Dachun and Sanchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why did this mother become like a child now.

But such a mother makes them feel more intimate and more willing to let them get closer.

In the past, my mother was always cold to them, acting like a mother, and always saying what she said. There was no room for them to talk at home!

There were no plastic bags in this era, and rice and noodles were packed in cloth bags. Dachun and the two unloaded their backpacks.

Dachun's basket was filled with rice, Erchun's basket was filled with noodles, and the two kilograms of salt were also placed on top.

Shen Ping has read history. Ancient people controlled salt and most salt was a strategic commodity.

However, the control over salt was not so strict during the Great Zhi Dynasty. Shen Ping had studied it carefully and found that the place she was in belonged to the south.

There are many coastal cities, and this salt is an extract of the sea, which is relatively easy to obtain here.

It's just that the salt was not as fine as it is now. It was all large grains of salt, so you had to use a stone ladle to grind it into fine pieces when you go back.

Moreover, the production process is not that good, and there are still some impurities. However, it can basically meet the needs of human body.

The Laughing Shit Man Mall has modern fine salt, 250 grams, 8 cents a pack, you can buy it there at that time.

The main purpose of buying this coarse salt now is to deceive others and make it easier for them to stay on the bright side.

After buying food, I also had to buy some pork. I ran out of oil at home, so I had to buy some suet and go back to refine it.

There are several butcher shops not far away. Meat is not too expensive these days, but it is not cheap either.

Passing by a grocery store, Shen Ping went in and bought a box of osmanthus cakes and some lard candies.

It's not easy to get out, not to mention I have some money on hand, so I must buy something back to coax the little ones.

Those who can eat meat every day are basically wealthy families, while ordinary farmers cannot eat meat for several meals a year. So the stall was relatively deserted.

"Sister-in-law, the meat is cheap today, cut it up!" The butcher greeted enthusiastically as he saw people coming to the stall.

Looking at the large piece of white quivering suet, Shen Ping's eyes lit up.

I touched it with my hand, um...this is real local pork!

Modern people generally eat feed pigs, which are lean feed pigs with basically not much fat.

Even if there is a little fat, the fat is firm and not trembling. When frying half-fat and lean pork, you have to add oil, otherwise it will stick to the pan.

This pork that has been grown on Gushi water has a different feel to the touch. The big fat meat is full of fat and oily to the touch.

"Sister-in-law, this suet is so good! This whole piece of suet can produce five or six kilograms of oil.

"It's a coincidence that you came here today. Normally, the pork suet would have been sold out long ago! If you want it, I can sell it to you for 8 cents per pound."

The butcher greeted them warmly, and when he saw that the people in front of him were the ones with money in their hands, others didn't know it, but they couldn't hide it from his eyes.

At first glance, there are three people, mother and son. The two sons are definitely carrying grain in the baskets, and this grain is not ordinary brown rice or black flour.

Just by looking at the bags, he knew that the two men were definitely carrying refined rice noodles because the bags were packaged differently.

At first glance, it looked like they bought the grain from the Desheng Rice Shop in front of them, because this was the only rice and noodles they ate at home, and the packaging bags were instantly recognizable.

Nowadays, it is considered good to be able to eat black noodles continuously. I didn't expect that these people in front of me still have money to buy polished rice noodles.

When you see them coming, you have to stand there, so you have to shout hard, otherwise they will go to the side stall and miss it.

"It's too expensive! You can buy a pound of black noodles for 8 cents. Can your suet be cheaper?" After all, you can eat less oil, but you can't eat less food.

The butcher had a sinister look on his face and a dark expression on his face. He was earning very little from this small business.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "There are discounts for large quantities. If you buy more, I will give you a cheaper price."
