Medicine Fragrance Pastoral: Nongmen Pretty Lady

Chapter 23 Buying Food
The old man said very seriously, "Mo Xiucai is kind to me, they are Mo Xiucai's children, I will not accept money from them!"

Mo Xiucai?Oh, it's the husband-in-law of the original owner Bai Xuening, but doesn't the old man know that these two children are not Mo Xiucai's at all?That's right, when Bai Xuening asked Mo Ming to enter the Bai family, it was to deceive others and find a father for the two children. It's normal for some people not to know!
Bai Xuening took out a few copper coins from her bosom, "Master, this is ten Wen. Take care of the two children and these things for me first. I'll go buy some food and come back later!"

The old man didn't take ten cents, so he said "Go!"

Seeing that the old man confiscated her money, Bai Xuening handed it to Yuqing, "Give it to grandpa, and I'll go buy some food!"

Yuqing took the money and immediately put it in the old man's hand, "Grandpa, I'll give you the money!"

The old man said with a bit of distress, "Take it, keep it and buy snacks with your sister later, don't give it to that wicked woman to gamble!"

At this time, a middle-aged woman on the bullock cart interjected, "You two children, take it, your mother has ruined your yard, and maybe one day you will sell you two!"

Yuhe squinted her eyes, put her hands on her hips, and looked like she was going to fight the woman, "My mother will not betray us, you are talking nonsense!"

The old man rolled his eyes at the woman, "His second aunt, why are you talking in front of the child?"

Another woman said, "It's better for you not to meddle in their family's affairs, and stop gossiping, because the power behind them is great!"

"What are you afraid of? You have been driven out!" A young woman chimed in to the middle-aged woman just now.

"Her second aunt, I'm not talking about you. The bones are broken and the tendons are still connected. In case someone recognizes her daughter again one day, it's enough for us country people to suffer if you are charged with any crime!"

This man's words successfully shut up a group of gossip women. Bai Xuening's family background is too strong. In the past, ordinary people like them really could not talk about it. Just like today, even if Bai Xuening is in trouble, if she makes a move, it will be for Uncle Bai. 10 Wen as fare.

In principle, you can make an oxcart for two cents, and a penny for children, but sometimes the villagers will bring some goods. If there is a lot of goods, Uncle Bai will charge one cent to five cents for the goods according to the amount of goods. They often fight for a penny more or a penny less.

On the other side, Bai Xuening arranged for the two children and the goods, and appeared at the grain store in a relaxed outfit. She asked the price of each grain.

In the end, I bought ten catties of fine rice, 10 Wen per catty, 100 Wen in total, 7 catties of fine noodles, 70 Wen per catty, 5 Wen in total, 100 catties of stick noodles, 270 Wen per catty, [-] Wen in total, and spent a total of [-] Wen .

After buying the grain, Bai Xuening did some calculations. Before, there were 678 cash left, 75 cash was spent on the meat, and 270 cash was given to the ox cart driver. Now it costs another 300 cash to buy food, leaving only [-] cash. !
The more than 300 Wen is enough for the next few days if it is just for living, but they live in a pigsty, a semi-closed pigsty, without even a door, and the outside is surrounded by a one-meter-high wall. Can't stop it, let alone a thief!

　In the past, there was nothing to steal from their family, so there was nothing to be afraid of, but now that they have bought food, they can't be sure!In the future, she will pick more medicinal materials and sell them for more money. Those who are orphans and widows will inevitably be missed by thieves.
