The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 440 Old Books
Five yuan in this era can buy several kilograms of pork, which is enough for Granny Liang and her grandson to improve for a few days. She put the money into her pocket with satisfaction, walked to the kitchen and cooked a large bowl of brown sugar stewed eggs for Bai Mei. Xi sent it over.

This is an excellent treatment. In this era where everything depends on votes, brown sugar and eggs are luxuries. Especially for an old lady who is frugal in everything, it is not easy to come up with such things.

"Grandma Liang, please leave these things for your grandson. I'm not hungry." Bai Meixi was embarrassed to accept such a big gift. She put the bowl of brown sugar water on the small table and wanted to leave it for Granny Liang. grandson.

"You're welcome. Why is a boy drinking brown sugar water? You're standing outside on such a cold day. Drink some brown sugar water to keep warm." Granny Liang was very insistent and insisted that Bai Meixi eat the eggs. Bai Meixi had no choice but to comply. , this bowl of brown sugar water made her body extra warm, and her strength became a little stronger than before.

She pushed the trolley to Granny Liang's door and started to move the papers onto the trolley. The ink on these papers had already dried, and the paper was thin and brittle, perfect for igniting. Aunt Liu would definitely like it. .

"Girl, it's not easy for you to be so capable at such a young age. Can you carry so many things? Why don't you wait for my grandson to give them to you when he comes back?"

Granny Liang kept praising Bai Meixi. Her grandson was growing up and it was always inconvenient to live in the same room with her. Now that the study room was freed up, a small bed could be placed for him to live alone. , you can also live here if you get married in the future.

"It's okay, I can carry it." Bai Meixi tied the rice paper to the cart. This cart had some special designs. Master Chen specially welded several iron rings and hooks on the flat plate to facilitate her tying. Things will not fall over no matter how high they are stacked.

The rice papers were tied up quickly. Bai Meixi planned to push the cart away and find a hidden corner to hide in the space. Now these things weighed several hundred kilograms, and it was really hard for her to push them alone.

"Girl, just wait."

Granny Liang looked at her house and then at Bai Meixi thoughtfully. She waved to her and called Bai Meixi back to the yard.

"Grandma Liang, do you have anything else?" Bai Meixi ran back quickly. Granny Liang and Aunt Hong are both very old. If they need help with any work, she will be happy to help.

"Girl, I also want to sell these books. The old man is gone and no one will read these books. Why not give them to people in need."

Granny Liang looked at the bookshelves in the room. The room was only 10 square meters in total. It was no problem to fit a single bed in the current space. But if she wanted to put down the wardrobe and make a wedding room for her grandson, it was really too small and she had to put it down. Get rid of these books to free up space and turn the bookshelf into a wardrobe.

"Of course I will accept these books." Bai Meixi saw those books when she was just carrying rice paper. This was her main purpose of purchasing scraps this time, but Granny Liang's books were well preserved, and she really didn't dare to ask her Do you want to sell them as scraps? Now that she took the initiative to mention this, she naturally nodded hurriedly. She had not read the content of those books, but she could tell from the appearance that they were good things.

"These books are very good. If you treat them as scraps, paying 1 cent per catty is too uneconomical. The old man spent a lot of money on these books. If you want them, you have to give them a new price."

Granny Liang opened the bookcase and asked Bai Meixi to look at the books inside. The quality of these books was even better than what Teacher Zeng had. Many of them were thread-bound. They looked old and were well preserved without any stains. , it can be seen that the grandfather really loved these books when he was alive, and each one was kept intact.Bai Meixi randomly took out a book and looked through it. These books were at least from the Republic of China or the late Qing Dynasty. Some of the texts were in traditional Chinese, especially some of the calligraphy. She didn't know how to bid for such a good thing. .

"Grandma Liang, do you really want to sell these books? Why don't you discuss it with your grandson?" Bai Meixi was afraid that the family would regret it, and wanted to wait until Grandma Liang's grandson came back. Anyway, she would come over in the afternoon. The decision came in time.

"My grandson dislikes these books the most. He finds them boring. We had several quarrels when the old man was here. He wished he could sell them as soon as possible." Granny Liang insisted on selling all the books to give her grandson a decent home. s room.

Bai Meixi had never seen anything like this before and could only give a rough price.Thread-bound books cost 1 cent each, and other books cost 1 cents each. This price is much more expensive than selling scraps, but it is definitely not as good as the purchase price of these books.

"Grandma Liang, do you think this price is okay?"

Bai Meixi left some room for bargaining. Bai Meixi didn't know the current value of these books, but they would definitely be worth a lot of money in the future, definitely higher than the cost she paid today.

"Okay, okay, this price is okay." Granny Liang agreed wholeheartedly. She opened the bookshelf and let Bai Meixi take it as she pleased. The old man left so many books, and this time he finally found a good place.

"I'll send these waste papers back first and pick them up later." Bai Meixi looked at the books. There were hundreds of them. She couldn't drag them on the cart no matter what. .

Bai Meixi said goodbye politely to Granny Liang and Aunt Hong, and when the people around her were not paying attention, she moved the rice paper on the cart into the space in batches. The remaining part only weighed about three to four hundred kilograms, and she could push it easily. In a secluded corner, she threw the entire cart in and placed the rice paper and discarded books into categories in an empty warehouse.

This warehouse was newly built by Liu Mazi. Bai Meixi had not yet thought about what to put in it, but now it happened to be used as a transfer station for these waste products, so that she could sort the waste paper.

She calculated the time, and after about an hour, she pushed the empty cart back to Granny Liang's residence.

Kind-hearted Granny Liang had already prepared hot tea to quench Bai Meixi's thirst.

Bai Meixi didn't drink tea. She started counting the books in the room as soon as she entered the house. There were 164 thread-bound books and 631 paperback books in Granny Liang's house. The total cost was 29 yuan and 2 cents. Bai Meixi took out 30 yuan was given to Granny Liang, and the rest was a bowl of brown sugar water as a thank you for her warm hospitality.

"It's great. I didn't expect these books to be sold at such a good price." Granny Liang is very satisfied with the price. 30 yuan is equivalent to a month's salary for an adult. She usually does not have a job and only earns money from the streets. The 30 yuan is very important to her.
