When she received their looks, she didn't understand. What were they laughing at? There were so many piglets, but if these two were missing, wouldn't there be others?

"Ouch! These twenty-seven and a half kilograms are very prosperous. Since you bought two at once, I will give you two of these half kilograms."

"Then how is this pound calculated?"

"Ouch! Lin Shengniang, do you really want to buy it? These two weigh 27 pounds in total. Do you know how much it will cost?"

"I don't know. How can I sell this, not counting how much money I make?"

These two piglets can't cost more than one tael of silver, right?

"Twenty coppers per pound, sister Yu, don't you think it's expensive and don't want it?"

The old man who was still smiling from ear to ear, after telling the price, he was also a little afraid that Yu Mei would not want it after knowing the price, so he felt a little uneasy at the moment.

"Old man Wang, this Lin Shengniang is not a fool. She might have been joking just now."

"That's right! For ordinary people, buying a piglet is quite stressful. What's more, your two piglets are so big. Only a fool would spend so much money to buy them. You won't buy two piglets. This day is over.”

Everyone thought that Yu Mei would not spend so much money to buy it, and everyone was laughing at her.

"Who says I won't buy it? Twenty-one pounds, right? Then twenty-seven pounds is also five hundred and forty cents, right?"

Her calculation should be correct, right?

When the old man heard what Yu Mei said, he quickly started to calculate. Although he was illiterate, it did not affect their calculation of money.

"That's right, it's five hundred and forty cents. By the way, I heard that you are also planning to buy chickens. I have them at home. Since you bought two piglets from me, I will sell them to you at a cheaper price. Four cents It’s just a piece of money, Sister Yu, do you want to go and have a look?”

The only one selling piglets in the village was Old Man Wang's family, but there were two or three selling chickens. Seeing how generous Yu Mei was, he naturally wanted her to do more of her business.

"Sure, then I'll go take a look. Lin Sheng has taken care of this piglet for me."

"Don't worry, mother, you don't need to look at these two, and no one else will snatch them from you!"

Lin Sheng couldn't laugh or cry and said, after all, these two piglets are not cheap, but not everyone would be so bold as his mother to spend so much money to buy two.

"That's right! Then come with me and choose, I won't choose this chicken either!"

After all, you bought it with money. Don't go back and take it back to death. It would be a real waste of money.

These chickens were just one month old, and their down had not yet faded away. They were so small, and they looked so cute. Yu Mei picked one up and heard their chirping.

Yu Mei is really not very picky about this chicken. Unless she is seriously ill or is about to die, she can tell the difference at a glance. Otherwise, if you expect her to choose, it will all depend on luck. .

"How many do you want, mother?"

"Choose thirty. By the way, since you have chickens at home, do you have any eggs?"

"Yes! You can have as many as you want. Sister Yu, let me tell you, the eggs in my house were all laid in the past half month. They are all good and there are absolutely no bad ones."

Old man Wang never thought that Yu Mei was really generous.

"How to sell eggs?"

"Two cents each. Come and take a look with me first." Old man Wang quickly asked his wife to take out the eggs at home. After all, she didn't look like the kind of person who only bought a few eggs.

After Lin Sheng finally picked the chickens, he found that his mother had gone to look at the eggs again. He felt helpless and wondered if he had made a wrong decision by taking his mother out today.

It's not that he is reluctant to spend money, but he is afraid that his mother will buy too many eggs at once. If she doesn't eat them quickly, the eggs will go bad easily.

Yu Mei saw that the surface of the eggs was quite clean, and there were no black spots on the case. She picked them up one by one and shook them gently. When she noticed the ones inside were shaking slightly, she put them down. If there was no reaction after shaking, she asked.

In just one meal, she took fifty of them every day. If the basket couldn't hold it, she would probably have wanted to fill it up.

Lin Sheng:......

After seeing the basket full of eggs, Lin Sheng really didn't know what to say. Maybe she noticed his gaze, so Yu Mei quickly spoke up to explain.

"These eggs have protein, which is just right for your father to replenish his body. Xiaoyin also has a hard time raising children and needs replenishing, so we also need replenishing at ordinary times."

She didn't think there were many when she first started picking. Who knew that by the end, there was only a basket.

"Mom, just be happy!"

What can he say, anyway, the financial power of the family is in his mother's hands, and as long as it is not wasted, he has no objection.

"Okay, let's do this for now. Let's calculate the total price. Fifty eggs, one hundred cents, thirty chickens, one hundred and twenty cents, plus two piglets, five hundred and forty cents. The total number of articles is seven hundred and sixty."

After calculating the price, Yu Mei opened the cloth she brought with her and handed it to the old man Wang one by one. After he counted each sling, she untied the sling and counted sixty. The copper plate was handed to Old Man Wang.

"Have you counted the money clearly? Then I will go back with these things."

"Let's be clear, the money is compatible. If Sister Yu wants to eat eggs in the future, she can come to my house to buy them. The eggs at my house are delicious and they are all fresh."

After Old Man Wang saw that Yu Mei still had three coins and loose money in her hand, he naturally hoped that Yu Mei would come to buy eggs for him one day.

"Okay! As long as your eggs are delicious, I will consider your family next time, but I seem to have bought a lot of things. Brother, is there anyone in your family who is not busy? Can you help us carry some things?"

If she wasn't afraid that the other party would exchange the things after they returned, she really wanted the other party to send them directly to her home.

"No problem! My grandson happens to have nothing to do at home, so I asked him to drive the pigs for you."

After saying this, Old Man Wang asked his grandson to lead a pig back to Yu Mei.

Along the way, when people in the village saw the two mother and son buying so many things at once, they couldn't help but privately say that Yu Mei was a prodigal.

Yu Mei naturally heard what they said, but she was too lazy to argue with them. After all, she ate these things herself. The reason why the other party said that must be jealousy.

"Mom, why did you buy so many eggs? Can you finish them all at once?"

When Qianyin saw the basket of eggs that her mother-in-law brought back, she was extremely surprised and wondered why her mother-in-law was just buying some.

"Is it a lot? I think it's okay. After all, there are so many people in the family, so it's good to take more nutrition. Besides, don't we often go out to the stall? I'll cook a few more boiled eggs every morning for your dad to prepare. You won’t go hungry at noon.”
