There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 115 The Design Asks Luo Sunshi to Buy Rice (Part [-])
After leaving Caiji Tavern, the three of them found a shady place to rest while drinking tea.

At this time, it was estimated that it was only seven or eight o'clock in the morning.

Calculated according to the time in ancient times, it is more than half of the time.

Chunya didn't eat enough in the morning, she gnawed on half of a pancake, and said with a smile, "Sister Jiao Niang, we went really well today, look, those stalls have just started to open, but we are all sold out."

They sat under the shade of a willow tree, and there were stalls selling fish, eggs, and vegetables on the opposite side.

Some carry burdens, some carry baskets, weigh every catty and half catty to customers, and bargaining and weighing things is very troublesome.

Chunya, who had never done a small business, looked at it and frowned.

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Get rid of the things earlier, let's go home earlier, and then go on to do other work, saving time and trouble."

Mrs. Luo Sun has always looked down on Li Jiaoniang, thinking that this little lady is not capable of doing things because of her delicate skin and tender flesh.

But she never expected that Li Jiaoniang would sell everything in a few words.

It surprised her.

"You guys sit down, I'll walk in front and I'll be back in a while." Mrs. Luo Sun took a sip of water, put on her bamboo hat and stood up.

With money finally in her pocket, she wanted to buy something to reward herself.

With two girls, she will share what she eats, and she is not willing to share.

Chun Ya remembered her mother Zhong's reminder to urge grandma to buy rice.

She said, "Grandma, should we buy some rice and go home?"

Luo Sun was used to taking advantage of it, and scolded, "Why buy rice? It's not that there is no rice at home."

Chunya's words reminded Li Jiaoniang.

The rice at home is really running out.

There are only two people in her family, and four in Luosun's family, why should they all eat from her family?

Before Luo Sun had no money, she didn't care about it. For Luo Cheng's sake, she helped them.

But now, Luosun has money in his pocket, so he can't afford not to buy a catty of rice.

So outrageous!
Ming yelled at Mrs. Luo Sun to buy rice, this woman must be messing around and making a scene.

Might as well, make a subtotal.

Li Jiaoniang stood up, patted the hem of her clothes, and said to Chunya, "Chunya, come with me to the rice line."

Chun Ya let out an "oh", stuffed the last piece of cake into her mouth, and said vaguely, "Sister Jiao Niang, is she going to buy rice?"

"What rice to buy? Bran!" Li Jiaoniang pushed up the empty cart and walked towards the rice shop.

"Why do you buy chaff? There are no pigs at home." Chun Ya asked suspiciously, walking beside her.

People in the village raise pigs and feed them all rice, which is unaffordable, so people mix some bran with the broken rice grains, boil them, add vegetable leaves or pig grass, and mix them for pigs to eat.

"Don't feed the pigs, let's eat." Li Jiaoniang said calmly.

Chunya was startled, thinking she heard it wrong, she asked again, "Shall we eat...eat chaff?"

"That's right, if you don't have rice to eat, what do you eat if you don't eat chaff? Brother Luo Cheng and I got some money from selling the land. The villagers knew about it, and people asked for debts every day. Brother Luo Cheng owed almost two hundred guan, and the twenty guan , It’s not enough to pay back, so I have to save money. In addition, the four of you are here, and the rice is eaten so fast that the tank has bottomed out. I can’t afford rice anymore, so let’s eat bran.”

With guilt on her face, Chun Ya sighed and said, "Sister Jiao Niang, I'm really sorry, when I have money, I will pay you back."

"Hey, let's talk about it later. The important thing for us now is to solve the problem of eating now and go buy chaff." Li Jiaoniang waved her hand generously.

Listening to Li Jiaoniang's words, Luo Sun muttered in her heart, does that little lady really know how to buy bran?
She was not in the mood to buy something to eat, and quietly followed Li Jiaoniang and Chun Ya.

I saw two people pushing an empty wheelbarrow to a rice shop.

After Li Jiaoniang stopped the car, she strode into the shop and shouted loudly, "Dude, weigh five catties of chaff."

"My lady, chaff is worth a penny and a catty. Do you want thick ones or thin ones?" An old man came over with a smile and asked.

There are many large wooden barrels half a person's height in the rice shop, which are filled with various grains, piled up like a sharp hill, with small wooden signs on them, writing the names and prices of the grains.

The two large wooden barrels at the farthest corners are filled with chaff, one kind is thin and the other is thick.

In ancient times, when food was in short supply, many people would mix bran into rice and cook it together.

Although it is difficult to swallow, it can be full.

Li Jiaoniang thought for a while, "Let's ask for thicker ones."

"Okay, let's weigh it right away." The man found a bag and quickly weighed the bran. "Five catties, look, the beam is up. Add the cloth bag, and you can give me six cents."

"Here, Liuwen." Li Jiaoniang took six copper coins from her back pocket, handed them to the clerk, and said, "Please put them in my car."

The man glanced at Li Jiaoniang, and shook his head secretly. He looked like a paper man, and he couldn't lift five catties?
It's not that Li Jiaoniang can't lift it, she is deliberately showing it to Luo Sunshi.

She knew that Mrs. Luo Sun followed her quietly.

She just bought the chaff, it won't scare her to death.

Bran does not weigh on the scale, five catties of bran can keep up with fifty catties of rice.

Putting a large bag of chaff on the cart, Luo Sun who was hiding behind a tree on the side of the door of the Mihang shop was shocked.

She cursed bitterly in her heart: Damn girl, are you really going to eat bran for her?
Ouch, how can I eat that bran, it's for pigs!
After Li Jiaoniang and Chunya left, Luo Sun immediately entered the shop, "Buddy, buy rice."

"Come on, what kind of rice do you want?"

Luo Sun glanced at the price tag, and said, "Why is it so expensive? Five cents a catty? Oh, and eight cents a catty? What kind of rice is that? Made of gold?"

The clerk shook his head and said, "It's May now, when it's not ready for harvesting. The seedlings in the field are only divided into ears, and the cheapest new rice can be eaten after March at the earliest. These are last year's stocks. Some rice shops have no stocks. , Ordinary rice has already sold for six cents a catty. Hey, do you want it? Others are even more expensive than mine!"

"Who said no, I can't ask for the price! Is it too much to be a buddy?" Luo Sun was upset and yelled at the buddy.

The guy raised his eyebrows and stopped talking back. As long as she buys it, let her scold her if she wants to.

Those who love to curse have a bad tongue.

"Rice that weighs twenty catties and five cents a catty.... Forget it, it's still ten catties, ah, let's buy twenty catties, ... twenty catties can't be eaten, so it's still ten catties."

The man became impatient now and asked, "How many people are there in your family? If there are two people, twenty catties can last for a month, and four people can double it. Don't buy too much. If the family eats bran, it will be enough." scold you?"

When it comes to eating bran, Luo Sun is in a bad mood.

If she is the only one to eat, she can eat ten catties of rice for a month, but Zhong's family is also there, and if they don't give them food, they will starve to death. What if the son comes back to trouble her?
Tell them to eat bran, she eats rice, the son knows that he will not let her go.

Luo Sun gritted her teeth, "Weigh forty catties of rice!"
