Chapter 72: Buying on a Spree
When he got closer, Yang Huazhou greeted Luo Fengtang with a smile: "Tang Yanzi is also doing business here?" ”
Luo Fengtang saw clearly that the person who came was Yang Ruoqing's fifth uncle, the smile on the boy's face increased a little, nodded a little stiffly, and called in a low voice: "Fifth Uncle Yang." ”
Yang Huazhou was even more surprised now.
In the past, in the village, in the woods, it was not that I had never met Tang boy.
This kid is rarely called a person.
Today, you still called his fifth uncle here?
"Fifth uncle, you came over just in time, do you have anything to do next day? I'd like to buy some groceries! ”
Yang Ruoqing's voice interrupted Yang Huazhou's thoughts.
"It's okay next day, uncle will accompany you." Yang Huazhou said, his eyes fell on Yang Ruoqing's hands.
"Hey, Qing'er, where's your stuff?"
"It's all sold!"
"What? All sold? Yang Huazhou thought he had heard it wrong.
"Oh, that's wrong, there are still these two baskets left, but it's okay, I'll buy things just enough to carry them."
Yang Ruoqing grinned and picked up the basket, freed up her hand to hold Yang Huazhou's arm, and walked towards the exit of Washi.
She didn't forget to turn her head and say to Luo Fengtang, who was standing behind her: "Tang Yanzi, you keep up your efforts, I'll go first!" ”
"Okay." Luo Fengtang smiled at Yang Ruoqing.
It wasn't until Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhou's figures disappeared that the boy withdrew his gaze.
Fat girl, what a good girl......
……
On the way out of Washi, Yang Ruoqing roughly told Yang Huazhou about the process of selling things, and Yang Huazhou was stunned for a while.
In the end, as if offering a treasure, she took out the four hundred and fifty-five coins and shook it in front of Yang Huazhou's eyes: "Oh, it's all here!" ”
Yang Huazhou grinned even more happily now, "My Qing'er is really capable, hurry up, don't show your wealth, hurry up and put the money away!" ”
"Hmm!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and put the money in her arms.
"Fifth uncle, is your boss okay?" She asked again.
"It's okay, let's go, the fifth uncle will accompany you to buy things and go home again!"
"Okay!"
The two uncles and nephews first entered a rice grain shop.
When the family was separated, the Tan family gave Yang Ruoqing's family of five fifty catties of husked rice, two acres of paddy fields, two acres of dry land, and nothing else.
Later, Aunt Osmanthus and Aunt Dayun sent an old hen and ten catties of rice.
The hen kept the eggs, ten catties of rice, and the rations for the past few days came out of the rice, and half of them had already been eaten.
Yang Ruoqing planned to weigh some rice noodles and go back.
After inquiring about the price, the rice was one tael of silver and one stone.
Yang Ruoqing quickly converted the weight and price in her heart.
One stone is equal to ten buckets, and one bucket is equal to ten liters.
One liter of rice rests on the present, which is about the weight of one catty and two taels and five coins, so one bucket of rice is twelve catties and five taels, and one stone of rice weighs one hundred and twenty-five catties.
One stone of rice costs one tael of silver, which is a thousand yuan.
Converted into modern catties, it is equivalent to the price of eight cents per catty of rice!
Bawen?
I'll go!
Yang Ruoqing smacked her tongue secretly!
In modern times, the high-quality fragrant rice in the supermarket is only more than three yuan a catty, and here, this kind of rice that is not so high-quality is eight yuan a catty!
It's too expensive!
Thinking about it, this is ancient times, there is no reform of grain varieties, and there are no pesticides and fertilizers to remove insects and pests, everything depends on the harvest of heaven.
The yield per mu itself is not high, and there are all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the top of the head, and the price of rice remains high, which is not unusual!
If it is in time for the famine, the merchants maliciously hoard rice and grain to raise the price, and the price will have to be doubled!
There were four hundred and fifty-five yuan in her pocket, Yang Ruoqing gritted her teeth, took out two hundred yuan, and bought two buckets of rice, that is, twenty-five catties of rice.
Twenty-five catties of rice, counting the remaining five catties at home, nearly thirty catties of rice, a family of five with their belts to eat, at most two months!
Yang Ruoqing asked about the price of wheat flour and corn flour and sorghum flour, but fortunately, compared with white rice, these agricultural and sideline products are much cheaper.
She gritted her teeth again, weighed a bucket of wheat flour, half a bucket of sorghum flour and corn flour, and spent a total of 60 wen!
Walking out of the rice grain shop, Yang Huazhou's flat shoulder had more sesame skin bags tied with mouths, which contained tied rice bags and bags of wheat flour, corn flour, and sorghum flour, which were bulging.
But at the same time, the amount of copper coins in Yang Ruoqing's pocket was less than half!
That's one hundred and ninety-five dollars left!
"Qing'er, why don't we buy so many rations in one go? Didn't your grandmother give you fifty catties of rice last time you split up? ”
On the way, Yang Huazhou asked puzzled.
Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "The fifty catties of rice, my father and mother and I have calculated it, and we plan to keep it as a rice seed for the spring next year." ”
This time the family was separated, everything was funded by Aunt Osmanthus and Aunt Dayun for free, and the two of them had a hard time.
Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhong of the Sun family have summed it up, they can't bother other other people's families for everything, and the rice seeds must be kept by themselves!
It's just that in this way, from the moment of separation to the autumn harvest next year, most of the time in between, you have to buy rice to survive!
Before, she saw that Sun's family boiled wild vegetable porridge morning and evening, although she knew that there was not enough rice at home, she didn't have such a deep understanding.
This time she personally felt the price of rice, and she decided that after she went back, she must work harder to make money, buy rice and grain, and feed her family!
"Qing'er, where are we going next?" Yang Huazhou asked again.
"I'll go to the cloth village and pull some cloth!" Yang Ruoqing said.
Seeing that winter was about to begin, Sun's feet were still wearing straw shoes, and there was only a pair of torn cloth shoes back and forth, and the two younger brothers were no better.
I'll have to tear some coarse cloth and go back and make some pairs of shoes for my family!
When I entered a cloth village, the guy who came to greet me was also a discerning person.
After seeing the clothes of the uncle and nephew, he didn't lead them to the silk counter over there, but beckoned them to come to the cotton cabinet here.
"Here are all cotton cloth just shipped from Yicheng Mansion, the two guest officials came by coincidence, and there are many colors to choose from."
Yicheng Mansion?
Where is that? Yang Ruoqing is not clear, this dynasty is not recorded in Chinese history.
And since she crossed over, she has never had the opportunity to contact the books here, except for Changping Village, which is this Qingshui Town, and when she leaves the town, her eyes are black!
Forget it, let's think about those things later, this time the stomach is full first, and the body is warm!
"How did you sell this cloth?"
Yang Ruoqing asked, pointing to a blue-blue cloth with pale white flowers in front of her.
"One hundred and thirty cents a horse." The guy said: "The little girl is really discerning, this pattern is made of tops, regardless of age, but it looks good, adults can make seven tops, and pants can make eight!" ”
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
After a visual inspection, this piece of cloth was spread out, and I am afraid that it must be nearly thirteen meters.
This color, the mother must look good on the body, and she wears it herself, and it's not bad, hehe!
(Dear friends, Merry Christmas, send the second watch of welfare later.) )
