Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 71

When they got close, Yang Huazhou greeted Luo Fengtang with a smile: "Tang Yazi is also doing business here?"

Luo Fengtang saw clearly that the person who came was Yang Ruoqing's fifth uncle, the smile on the boy's face narrowed a little, he nodded cautiously, and whispered, "Yang fifth uncle."

Yang Huazhou was even more surprised this time.

Before in the village, in the woods, it was not that he had never met with boy Tang.

This kid rarely calls anyone.

Today, he still called his fifth uncle?

"Uncle Fifth, you came just in time. Do you have anything else to do this afternoon? I want to buy some daily necessities!"

Yang Ruoqing's voice interrupted Yang Huazhou's thoughts.

"It's all right tomorrow, Uncle will accompany you." Yang Huazhou said, his eyes fell on Yang Ruoqing's hands.

"Hey, Qing'er, where's your stuff?"

"It's all sold!"

"What? All sold?" Yang Huazhou thought he had heard it wrong.

"Oh, I'm wrong, there are still two baskets left, but it's alright. I'll buy something later and just use it for my pocket."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and picked up the basket, freed up one hand to hold Yang Huazhou's arm, and walked towards the exit of Washi.

She still didn't forget to turn her head to Luo Fengtang who was standing behind her and said, "Tangyazi, keep trying, I'll go first!"

"Okay." Luo Fengtang smiled slightly at Yang Ruoqing.

It was not until the figures of Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huazhou disappeared that the boy looked back.

Fat girl, what a good girl...

……

On the way out of the tile market, Yang Ruoqing told Yang Huazhou about the process of selling things, and Yang Huazhou was stunned.

In the end, as if offering a treasure, she took out the 450 five Wen coins and waved them in front of Yang Huazhou's eyes: "Here, it's all here!"

Yang Huazhou grinned even more happily now, "My family Qing'er is really capable, hurry up, hurry up, the money is not in vain, hurry up and collect the money!"

"Ok!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and put the money into her arms.

"Uncle Fifth, is your boss okay?" she asked again.

"It's alright, let's go, Uncle Five will accompany you to buy things, and then go home!"

"okay!"

The two uncles and nephews first entered a rice grain shop.

When the family split, the Tan family gave Yang Ruoqing's family five [-] kilograms of rice with husks, two acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land, and nothing else.

Later, Aunt Osmanthus and Aunt Dayun brought an old hen and ten catties of rice.

The hens kept laying eggs and ten kilograms of rice. The rations these days were all from the rice, and they had eaten half of it.

Yang Ruoqing plans to weigh some rice and noodles back.

After inquiring about the price, rice is one tael and one stone.

Yang Ruoqing quickly converted the weight and price in her heart.

One stone is equal to ten buckets, and one bucket is equal to ten liters.

A liter of rice weighs about 120 jin per catty, so a bucket of rice weighs [-] jin. [-] liang, and a stone of rice weighs [-] jin.

One stone of rice sells for one tael of silver, which is one thousand pennies.

Converted to modern catties, it is equivalent to the price of eight cents per catty of rice!

Eight texts?

I go!

Yang Ruoqing clicked her tongue secretly!

In modern times, the high-quality fragrant rice in the supermarket is only more than three yuan per pound. Here, this kind of high-quality rice is actually eight yuan per pound!

too expensive!

On second thought, this is ancient times. There is no reform of food varieties, let alone pesticides and fertilizers to eliminate pests and pests. Everything depends on the harvest.

The yield per mu itself is not high, and there are various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the top of the head. It is not uncommon for the price of rice to remain high!

If it catches up with the famine, the merchants maliciously hoard rice grains to raise the price, and the price will double!

With only 450 five Wen in her pocket, Yang Ruoqing gritted her teeth, took out two hundred Wen, and bought two buckets of rice, which was 25 catties of rice.

25 catties of rice, plus the remaining [-] catties of the family, nearly [-] catties of rice, a family of five eating with their belts stretched, can last for at most two months!

Yang Ruoqing asked about the prices of wheat flour and corn flour and sorghum flour. Fortunately, these agricultural and sideline products are much cheaper than white rice.

She gritted her teeth again and weighed a bucket of wheat flour, half a bucket of sorghum flour and corn flour, which cost another sixty cents!

Walking out of the rice grain store, Yang Huazhou's pole was full of hemp leather bags with tied mouths, which contained tied rice bags and bags of wheat flour, corn flour, and sorghum flour, bulging.

But at the same time, the amount of copper coins in Yang Ruoqing's pocket was less than half!

Only 190 five cents left!

"Qing'er, why don't we buy so many rations in one go? Didn't your milk give you [-] catties of rice last time?"

On the way, Yang Huazhou asked inexplicably.

However, Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "The fifty kilograms of rice, my parents and I have calculated, and plan to keep it as rice seeds for the spring of next year."

This time, Aunt Osmanthus and Aunt Dayun sponsored everything for free, and the two of them had a hard time.

Yang Ruoqing and Sun's Yang Huazhong have discussed it together, you can't bother other people with everything, the rice seeds must be kept by yourself!

It's just that, from the moment the family split up to the next autumn harvest, for half a year, you have to buy rice to get by!

Before she saw that the Sun family made wild vegetable porridge in the morning and evening, although she knew that there was not enough rice at home, she had not experienced it so deeply.

At this moment, she felt the price of rice herself, and she decided that after going back, she must work harder to make money, buy rice and food, and support her family!

"Qing'er, where are we going next?" Yang Huazhou asked again.

"I'll go to the cloth village to pull some cloth!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Seeing that it was almost winter, Sun's feet were still wearing straw shoes, and he only had a pair of cloth shoes with holes in the back and forth, and the two younger brothers were not much better.

Gotta get some sackcloth and go back and make some shoes for the family!

Entering a cloth shop, the shop assistant who came to say hello was also a discerning person.

Looking at the clothes of the uncle and nephew, they did not lead them to the silk gauze counter over there, but greeted the cotton closet over here.

"These are all cotton cloths that have just been shipped from Yicheng House. The two guest officers came by coincidence, and there are many colors, so you can choose as much as you want."

Yicheng Prefecture?

where is that?Yang Ruoqing did not know that this dynasty was not recorded in Chinese history.

And since she came across, she has never had a chance to touch the books here, except for Changping Village, it is Qingshui Town, and when she leaves the town, her eyes are smeared!

Forget it, let's think about those things later, at this moment, fill your stomach first, and wear warm clothes is what matters!

"How do you sell this cloth?"

Yang Ruoqing asked, pointing to a piece of blue-blue cloth with faint white flowers in front of her.

"130 Wen a piece." The clerk said: "Young lady is really discerning. You can make coats of this design and color, regardless of age. They look good. Adults can make seven coats and eight pairs of trousers!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded.

After visual inspection, this piece of cloth is probably nearly 13 meters long.

This color, my mother must look good when wearing it, and wearing it myself is not bad, hee hee!

(Dears, Merry Christmas, we will send you the second update later.)
