After hearing what the stall owner said, Old Man Wu and Butcher Yun were silent for a moment. It was indeed a drought, so the types and quantities of vegetables that could be grown were limited.
Therefore, if they finally come across a store selling fresh vegetables, Yun the butcher and his friends will definitely buy them. When the weather gets colder, fresh vegetables will probably be harder to find and more expensive.
"Are these the only cabbages and radishes you have?" asked Old Man Wu.
"I have a basket of radishes behind me." said the stall owner hurriedly.
"Brother Wu, how about we buy all the vegetables and divide them when we get back?" Butcher Yun asked tentatively.
"Sure. Anyway, I don't think there are many dishes. After we go back, there won't be much left for the two families."
"We want all your cabbages and radishes. Could you please count the cabbages and weigh the radishes?" Yun the butcher said politely.
"Do you really want them all? You're not kidding me, are you? There are a lot of vegetables. Let me make it clear, I won't give you a refund after I sell them to you." The stall owner asked with a look of doubt on his face.
"Haha, don't worry. We say we want them all, and we mean it. We're not kidding." Old man Wu laughed.
The stall owner looked at Yun the Butcher again.
"Don't worry, we really want them all. Please count and weigh them quickly!" Yun the butcher urged.
After hearing what Yun the butcher said, the stall owner finally believed that they were not joking. So, she quickly counted the cabbages. Then, she borrowed the scale from the stall next door and weighed all the carrots.
"I just counted them and there are 62 cabbages in total. The carrots weigh 105 kilograms. However, the carrots were weighed with a basket. So I'll calculate it as 100 kilograms."
"You guys were very straightforward and didn't bargain. It also saved me the time of setting up the stall, so I'll charge you 60 cabbages."
"In this case, the total cost of the cabbage and carrots is eight hundred coins." The stall owner gave the bill clearly.
"Yes, your calculation is correct. Of course, thank you for your care." Yun the Butcher said happily.
"Would you like to sell your basket? If you can, please sell it to us. We have nothing to hold the food." Old Man Wu said embarrassedly.
"Oh, the basket is not valuable, so I'll give it to you. Do you need me to load the vegetables into the car for you?" the stall owner said readily.
"Brother Wu, you pay. I'll put the vegetables on the mule cart."
"Okay. Put it on my mule cart first. There's nothing in my mule cart, so it's convenient for putting vegetables."
"it is good."
After Yun the butcher finished speaking, he picked up a basket in each hand and walked towards Old Man Wu's mule cart.
"Dad, have you finished buying vegetables so soon?" Yun Yiyi asked in surprise.
"Yes, your Grandpa Wu is paying. I'll load the vegetables first." Butcher Yun was putting vegetables on the cart while talking to Yun Yiyi.
"Dad, you guys are really fast at buying groceries."
"It's just buying some vegetables, how long can you waste time?"
Butcher Yun ran back and forth twice and loaded all the vegetables into the mule cart.
"Yiyi, you're back. Let's set off." Xie Zirui shouted loudly.
"Here I come, Brother Zirui."
After Yun Yiyi climbed onto the mule cart, Yun the Butcher drove the mule cart and continued shopping.
"Dad, do we have to go to the grain store?"
"You don't have to go to the grain shop, right? Your Uncle Zhang and Uncle Li should have gone to the grain shop to buy grain." Butcher Yun turned his head and looked at Yun Yiyi in surprise.
"Yiyi, is there any food you want to buy?" Xie Zirui asked in confusion.
"Not really, Dad."
"Then let's go forward and take a walk." Yun the Butcher said loudly.
In order to see clearly what was displayed on the stalls, Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui both sat outside the carriage.
"Brother Zirui, I smell the sweet scent of peaches." Yun Yiyi said happily.
"Is there? I don't smell it?" Xie Zirui looked carefully at the stalls on both sides of the street.
"Haha, Yiyi's little nose is really useful. The stall in front is really selling peaches." Yun the butcher said in surprise.
Yun Yiyi smiled at Xie Zirui, then raised her chin proudly. "You still don't believe me. If I say it's for sale, then it must be for sale."
Xie Zirui looked at Yun Yiyi's arrogant little appearance, turned his head and snickered.
"Brother Wu, we have peaches for sale. Do you want to buy some?" Butcher Yun stopped the mule cart and shouted to Old Man Wu.
"Are there any peaches? I want to buy some too. Wait for me to drive the mule cart over there." Old Man Wu said as he drove the mule cart next to the Yun family's mule cart.
"Grandpa Wu, I'll help you watch the mule cart, you go look at the peaches." Xie Zirui said obediently.
"Good boy, wait for me to buy peaches for you to eat." Old Man Wu jumped off the mule cart and strode towards Yun the butcher.
Yun the butcher is looking at the peaches in the basket. They are not very big and are covered with fine peach hairs. You can tell they are late peaches. They are delicious, but they are a bit hard and need to be left for a while before they taste better.
"Uncle, how much do you sell your peaches? Are they sweet?" Yun Yiyi asked loudly.
"These are peaches from the two peach trees in my yard. In previous years, they were bigger than this. Since the drought began last year, the size of the peaches has become much smaller."
"But even though the peaches are smaller, they are sweeter and more delicious. They are also more durable."
“If it wasn’t for the money I earned from selling them to buy food, I would have kept them for my children at home,” the stall owner said helplessly.
"Peaches are 25 cents a pound. As for the taste, don't worry, it's absolutely delicious." The stall owner said enthusiastically.
"Hey, did I hear a child's voice just now? Then why didn't I see the child?" The stall owner looked around.
"Uncle, I'm here. Your basket is too high." Yun Yiyi took down the upper basket and put it on the ground. It turned out that the stall owner had stacked two layers of baskets, and the height of the stack blocked Yun Yiyi.
"So you are here. It was my basket that blocked you. I thought I heard it wrong." The stall owner looked as if he had suddenly realized something.
After hearing what the stall owner said, Yun the Butcher and Old Man Wu both burst into laughter.
Yun Yiyi curled her lips in dissatisfaction.
"Uncle, how many pounds do these two baskets of peaches weigh in total?"
"These two baskets weigh about 60 kilograms. However, if you want all of them, I have to weigh them again." The stall owner said good-temperedly.
"Dad, Grandpa Wu, what do you say?" Yun Yiyi turned and looked at them.
"Brother Wu, is it the same as buying vegetables before?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But I haven't eaten peaches for a long time. If I buy some, the kids at home will be very happy." Old man Wu said happily.
"Grandpa Wu, I can answer you now. I am so happy to have peaches to eat." Yun Yiyi said happily.
