Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 79 Soybean is a Treasure

As soon as Mrs. Chen saw Gu Jinli, she immediately rushed up and said, "Xiaoyu, you sold that snake for two or eight hundred dollars? Hey, why are a few broken snakes so valuable?"

Gu Jinli blamed Gu Jinli again: "You don't call your aunt when you go to catch such a valuable thing. If your aunt is here, I will definitely be able to help you catch dozens more."

Chen Shi's flesh was so painful that it would be great if her family could share the money.

Gu Jinli looked at her and said with a smile: "Okay, next time we go to catch snakes, we will definitely call your auntie, but snakes that can be sold for money are highly poisonous, and being bitten is fatal. If something happened, your aunt can't blame me."

Chen Shi was afraid of death, and when he heard this, his face twitched, and he said with a shy smile: "Well, let my aunt think about it again."

While talking, Uncle Tian and his son, Gu Dafu and Gu Dagui also carried their things back to the door of the grain store.

Not long after, the father and son of the Luo family also bought good things and came to the grain shop to meet.

The Luo family bought a lot of things, including enough cotton and cloth, and they were also responsible for ordering water tanks for several families: "One water tank is five hundred dollars, and I ordered five. If it is to be transported to the village, each The water tank has to add another hundred dollars, I didn't let it go, I told the master that I will come and move it tomorrow at midnight."

After midnight tomorrow, the shopkeeper's family will go back to the countryside to celebrate the New Year, and they won't come back until after the new year.

"Okay, let's hurry up and go back after shopping, rest early in the evening, and rush to the town before midnight tomorrow to bring the water tank back." After the third grandfather finished speaking, he brought a few people into the grain store to purchase the most important grain.

In the grain shop, there are large tile jars, which are filled with various grains, mainly rice, noodles, beans, and food.

They also sell seeds, including grain seeds, vegetable seeds, bean seeds, garlic seeds, shallots, etc. There are even dried peppers!

Gu Jinli was really startled when he saw the pepper, pointed at the pepper and asked the shopkeeper, "Uncle, what is this red thing?"

The shopkeeper glanced at her and ignored her, thinking she was stupid and didn't even know Chili.

Qin Sanlang said: "This is spicy. Like dogwood and ginger, they are all spicy things. They were introduced from Guanwai in the previous dynasty."

It turned out to be something from the previous dynasty, and it came from outside the customs, not from the sea.

Gu Jinli was once again amazed at the mix of Da Chu. Seeing that Qin Saburo knew a lot, he asked him, "Do you have potatoes and corn?" In the original owner's memory, there were no such things, only soybeans, sweet potatoes and wild vegetables.

"Potato corn? Never heard of it, what is that?" Qin Saburo asked her with a frown.

Gu Jinli said: "There are two kinds of food that can be eaten. When I was fleeing the famine, I heard from a few old people that it was probably something they produced in the mountains."

She was afraid of Qin Saburo's inquiries, so she picked up a cloth bag and went to pick peppers, garlic, and shallots, each about a pound, and went to see Gu Dashan and the others to choose food.

The most they buy are sweet potatoes and soybeans. These two kinds of things are cheap. They are all three cents a pound. Buying a sack can last a long time.

Rice noodles are expensive, and new rice and new noodles are sold for [-] cents a pound; brown rice with chaff is also sold for [-] cents a pound; millet is [-] cents, and old rice is cheap, only [-] cents a pound, and there is a kind of mildew. Rice is cheaper, as long as five cents a pound.

Her family bought fifty catties of soybeans, fifty catties of sweet potatoes, twenty catties of old rice, ten catties of millet, and five catties of noodles.

The Luo family, the Gu Damu family, and the Gu Dafu family are similar to what they bought.

Qin Saburo did not buy soybeans, but only sweet potatoes, brown rice and millet.

The Tian family only bought soybeans, sweet potatoes, and a pound of old rice.

After paying the money, they did not go back immediately, but left one person in the family to wait in front of the grain store, and the rest went to the butcher shop in the town to buy meat.

Meat is expensive, especially fatty meat. It sells for [-] cents a pound, which is a full ten cents more than pork belly, and lean meat is ten cents cheaper than pork belly.

Gu Jinli's family bought a pound of fat and a pound of lean meat, and everyone else, except the Tian family, bought two pounds of meat.

After buying things, it was already afternoon, and several families stopped staying and hurried back with their things.Because there are so many things, Gu Jinli also has to pick out the sundries such as wooden barrels, pottery pots, and pottery bowls.

They bought some eggs and a few other cheap groceries as they passed by farmers' stalls.

After buying it, I kept going out of the town all the way, hurried all the way, and finally returned to the village in the evening.

When passing by the old earthen house where they stayed the night before, I saw a few villagers outside the courtyard of the old earthy house.

Mr. Mo was so angry that he jumped and cursed: "You hurry up, if you don't, the old man will go to the village chief and sue you!"

San Lei laughed and said, "Sue us? Sue us around the old earthen house in Dafeng Village and tell us about meat and jokes? This is the house in Dafeng Village, not from your Mo family. You live in our Dafeng Village without any money. How dare you sue us, where are you from!”

"If you want to give money or not, you can call out your eldest granddaughter and let us kiss the incense, and we will recognize you as people from Dafeng Village." After speaking, He Sanfeizi and a few villagers laughed wickedly. , Old Master Mo was very angry.

A woman's voice came from the old earth house: "I told you a long time ago that money can't be saved, you have to search, now it's alright!"

The third grandpa and the others did not stop, they quickly walked past this old old house and returned to the rented house at the end of the village.

The third grandmother and the others had been waiting for a long time. When they saw their return, the women and children of several families all ran out of the house.

"You've come back and you've finished buying everything?" asked the third grandmother.

The third grandpa unloaded the burden, rubbed his shoulders and said: "After buying, there are still five water tanks. I will move it tomorrow morning. Are you all okay at home today?"

"Okay, we gave the village money, and Qin Lao and Erlang are guarding, so the bastards in the village dare not approach."

When the children of several families saw that they had bought so many things, they were all happy to carry the burden and not let go.

Several adults were very helpless, and could only carry the burden while letting them pick it up, chattering all the way back to their respective homes.

Gu Jinli's house bought too many things, and it took a whole hour to put everything in place.

Cui looked at the cotton and cotton cloth and said distressedly, "Why did you buy so much cloth? Just buy some burlap, and burlap can also be used for clothes."

"Mother, we will work hard to make money, you don't have to save so much." Gu Jinli said: "It's not good to wear burlap for the New Year."

The burlap is also used to make filial piety clothes. The people who wear filial piety wear them, and their family still has some money. It is not necessary for every piece of clothing to be burlap.

Although the third grandmother was also in pain, she liked children and immediately helped her: "Xiaoyu wants you to dress decently. When we arrive in the village, we have to wear some decent clothes. If we dress too badly, we will be looked down upon by the villagers. ."

After hearing this, Mrs Cui stopped talking, and carefully put away the cotton and the two cotton cloths.

After the family finished tidying up their things, they hurriedly ate dinner and fell asleep.

The next day before dawn, several men rushed to the town to carry the water tank ordered yesterday.

After Gu Jinli got up, he ran to Luojiatian's house and told them that he wanted to use the yard to grind the discs.

Gu Jinli wanted to make tofu, but in the yard of several rented houses, only Luo Jiatian's yard had a dirty old grinding plate.

The two adults naturally agreed.

Gu Jinli picked up a wooden bucket to wash the grinding disc.

Luo Huiniang had a good time with her and came to help: "Xiaoyu, what kind of tofu can soybeans really make?"

While scrubbing the grinding plate, Gu Jinli said, "Yes. Soybeans are a treasure. In addition to tofu, you can also make many foods, such as bean cakes. This can be eaten as a staple food or as a vegetable."
