Chapter 21
"See, my salt is better than the supply and marketing cooperative's." The salesman took his own things and started to brag.

Now there is no refined salt, only large-grained salt. The only criterion for distinguishing good salt is whether the salt grains are white or not, and whether there are many impurities in it.

Yuansi doesn't know how to look at this, she can't tell if it's good or bad, but the inside of the salt is not very clean, she doesn't know if the salt in other places is the same.However, she couldn't be seen by others, so she took a few grains of salt and observed carefully for a long time before nodding to indicate that it was okay.

"If you want to exchange salt, I'll give you a catty forty ounces, how about it?" The shopkeeper started thinking again.

Now the price of salt in the supply and marketing cooperative is [-] cents a catty, and [-] cents is [-] cents. He saw that Yuansi was only a few years old, and thought she didn't understand, so he wanted to fool the child.

But Yuansi is not six years old, of course she can understand, "No, you have to give me a catty and a half."

"Oh, you child, if I give you a catty and a half, I will lose money, and you won't be able to exchange it for others."

"Don't talk about that, can you change a word." Yuansi was too lazy to listen to his ink.

The shopkeeper told her that the battery was out, and in the end he felt that the business was still profitable, and he didn’t seem to be joking with the children, so he stopped fooling around, “OK, okay, a catty and a half is a catty and a half, I’ll give it to you It’s kid. If you have something in the future, you can come to me to change it.”

After finishing speaking, he took out the small scale in the burden and weighed a catty and a half to Yuansi, "Look, this is tall."

Yuansi glanced at it, it was tall, it was a flat scale.

Later, Yuansi found something good on his burden, toothpaste and toothbrush.This is what she wanted to buy a long time ago, and she also mentioned it to the old lady.But there has been no movement so far. It is estimated that it is impossible for the old lady to buy it for her, so she can only find a way by herself.

After asking the price, Yuansi felt that she had a long way to go, and it would be a long-term thing to buy all the daily necessities by pinching her braids.

After returning home, Yuansi didn't keep any of it. She put a catty and a half of salt into an earthen pot and soaked it in water.

Salt particles are not good for cooking, and there are impurities in it, so some people who are particular about it need to process it after taking it back.It is to dissolve the salt grains with water, then remove the impurities in the middle, and then take the remaining brine to dry in the sun, and finally you can get fine salt noodles.

When the old lady came back, she saw the salt water in the crock, and strongly criticized the little girl's behavior of changing the salt without permission.

"Why do you think you have such an idea? For the old money, you can change it for salt?" Little, thinking about the old money, her heart hurts.

Yuansi was also a little dumbfounded, how about some money?Isn't it two cents, that's old money?

"Our family has no salt, I don't want to eat fish porridge." Yuansi said aggrievedly.

These days, although Yuansi's stomach can be full, but these days are also in dire straits.For the first few days, she ate grilled fish porridge.Because there is no salt, the porridge has a somewhat salty taste, so the old lady decided to chop the grilled fish and throw it into the porridge to cook again.Later, the grilled fish was gone, and Yuansi took out several fresh big fish. The old lady even made those fish into fish porridge, so she is still struggling with fish porridge these days, and she urgently needs For a change.

"You child, you're so used to it, you can do whatever you want, you prodigal." The old lady chanted endlessly around the crock, but this is already an established fact, and it's useless for her to babble , The salt is also soaked in the water.

Three days later, the salt grains in the crock finally turned into fine salt noodles. Yuansi took advantage of the time when the old lady was going to work, and secretly used the seasoning box in the space to pack the salt noodles for a while, and kept them for her later. use it yourself.

When the old lady came back, she muttered while she was collecting the salt noodles, saying that Yuansi must have been cheated, otherwise how could there be so much salt for a catty and a half.Yuan Si suppressed a smile and kept nodding beside her, she must have been deceived.

In the evening, Yuansi ignored the old lady's objection and insisted on eating pure grilled fish, the kind that sprinkled more salt noodles.Of course, the grill can't be taken out, it's directly on the floor of the kitchen, lit a pile of firewood and started grilling.

This is the first time for the old lady to see how righteous this little girl is. She insists on doing whatever she says, and it doesn’t work for anyone. In order to stew the grilled fish, the little girl stares at her, as if she If she doesn't agree, she will be angry.The old lady is so angry, it's not too big or small, but since ancient times, the parents have never beaten their children, and in the end the old lady was still sullen and watched her daughter happily eat the grilled fish.

When the little girl fed the salty and fragrant grilled fish into her mouth, she felt at ease. She felt that apart from her favorite food, everything else was fine. Look, she didn't eat it herself, so she kept her mouth full. Also give her the first bite, this mother.Hey, it's enough for a child to be so filial, what more can I ask for.

After the old lady has built up her mind, she can look at her daughter again, and it will be fine.

"Mom, is it delicious?"

The old lady said, "Well, of course it's delicious. You didn't see how much salt and firewood was wasted. Let me tell you, just this time, if you waste like this next time, let me see how I can clean you up."

Yuansi didn't take it seriously, this old lady needs to be educated again.

"Mom, you forgot that I have a fairy master. Think about whether I will be short of these things in the future. I will eat with peace of mind if you follow this. If I really have no money, I will ask my master to send more fish. , let’s exchange fish for firewood or salt.” This is what she just thought of recently, and fish can also be used as a common currency here.

Not to mention, the old lady is full of prodigal things, and she really forgot about the fairy master of the little girl.

She pouted her mouth but didn't say anything.

Yuansi stuffed a grilled fish into the old lady's hand, and then said earnestly, "You don't have to worry about these things in the future, just follow me and wait for the popular ones and spicy ones."

The old lady was amused by her little devil's appearance, "You can push it down, you started bragging when you were not as tall as three yuan of tofu, you didn't learn much, and you talked in a different way, who do you think you look like? "

"Hey, mother, didn't you say that I look like you, and I will always be a capable person in the future." Yuan Si was also shameless in order to make the old lady happy.

"Hmph, I didn't see it, I think you have used all your skills to eat."

"That's fine. We can eat well now, not much better than others." Yuansi understood the old lady's heart very well, and she was talking about the sensitive point of the old lady.

The old lady has been stronger all her life, and she loves to compare food and clothing with others. Anyway, what others have, they must have their own. If others can't eat enough, their family can eat enough, which is a big surpass.

"Well, you will say, okay, I think you are too capable, I can't control it anymore, then I don't care about it in the future, I see what you can do and what you can do." The old lady also looked I understand, this girl is no longer the temperament she used to be, and I can't resist it, so I might as well just leave it alone and be a happy old lady for a while.

"That's right, mother, don't worry, from now on, I will definitely let you eat well."
