Chapter 29 29 Two Copper Plates Left
"How do you sell sugar and soy sauce?" Gu Nian asked with a small voice.

"White sugar costs 8 copper coins per catty, and soy sauce costs 16 copper coins per liter. How much does the little girl want?"

This price made Gu Nian click his tongue.

No wonder there is only salt in the kitchen at home, and other seasonings are indeed not affordable by ordinary people.

"Then I'll buy a catty of sugar and a liter of soy sauce."

Lin Sanshui gave her 43 copper coins, which killed more than half of them in one fell swoop.

"Okay, little girl, you didn't bring a jar, do you want to buy a jar for soy sauce? It costs two cents each." The younger brother asked with a polite smile.

"Okay." Gu Nian pinched the copper plate in his hand and nodded stiffly.

There are 43 copper plates and copper plates, and there are still seventeen left.

Looking at the little brother who was busy helping her weigh sugar and make soy sauce, Gu Nian asked again, "Brother, do you have any other ingredients for her cooking in your shop? Can you show me?"

"There is also white vinegar and rice wine, do you want some?" the younger brother asked.

Gu Nian shook his head and asked again, "Is there nothing else?"

She wanted to buy white vinegar and rice wine, but unfortunately, the copper coins in her hand were really not enough.

"Little sister, don't buy things that your adults didn't ask you to buy. Don't get spanked when you go back later! Most of the ingredients used for cooking in restaurants in this town are bought at my house. I haven’t heard of any other ingredients!” The little brother smiled, suddenly thought of something, and said: “However, I heard that those good chefs have their own secret recipe sauces, which we outsiders don’t know gone."

Said, the soy sauce has been made, exactly one liter jar, no more, no less, the sugar is also wrapped in oil paper and handed to Gu Nian.

Gu Nian took it, but she almost fell because the jar was too heavy.

Fortunately, the little brother held on tightly, "Be careful, if it is knocked over, everything will be gone, and so are your adults. Why do you let a child as young as you come out to make soy sauce?"

"Thank you, little brother. My brother is waiting for me outside. I can hold it." Gu Nian held it firmly this time. Although it was still a bit heavy, she could hold on.

When he was about to walk to the door, he happened to see peas in the sack next to him. Gu Nian's eyes lit up and he said, "How do you sell the peas?"

"Five cents a catty."

"Then I want to buy three catties, little brother, you can weigh it for me first, and I'll get it later."

Gu Nian ran back and forth twice before taking all the things to Er Hu's side, and when he went back for the last time, Du Hu also came back with the ox cart he had found.

When Dug saw the things on the ground, his eyes widened instantly, "How do you buy these things? Does Dad know?"

"I know, I bought it with the copper coins my father gave me." Gu Nian replied.

Erhu heard the difference and turned to look at Gu Nian.

This younger sister looks like a small one, but she is not timid at all.

Father gave her money, but he didn't let her spend it all at once!

He had just asked, when father left, he gave the younger sister 43 copper coins, and asked her to save them up and spend them slowly, but now there are only two left.

Hearing that Gu Nian said that his father asked him to buy it, Du Hu still felt distressed.

Sugar and soy sauce are not cheap at all, and it costs a lot of money to specify. There is also the pea, which is nothing to eat except cooking porridge. It is delicious, but it is very difficult to cook and costs firewood.

Buying these things, will the future be a thing of the past?
Not long after, Lin Sanshui came back.

After getting on the bullock cart, seeing what Gu Nian bought, and hearing that there were only two copper coins left on her body, her heart throbbed violently.
