Chapter 16 16. Daily Items
Seeing so many bags, Xu Lingjun picked them up one by one to have a look.He asked, "How do you calculate the price of the snakeskin bag?"

“20斤的1分钱一个,50斤的3分钱2个,100斤的2分钱一个。”

"Just give me 4 of them."

"Okay, do you want anything else?"

"Is there any rope for sale?"

"Here are straw ropes, plastic ropes, and fishing lines. What do you want?"

"What's the price of grass rope? What's the price of plastic rope?"

"Grass rope costs 1 meters, and plastic rope costs 10 meter. How much do you want?"

Xu Lingjun looked at the so-called straw rope, it turned out to be woven from straw poles, it was not easy to use at first glance, and it was not strong.After thinking about it, I'd better buy a plastic rope. "Sister, bring me two meters of plastic rope."

After speaking, Xu Lingjun took out 2 cents and handed it to the salesperson. "Sister, it's exactly 2 cents."

"Your stuff is here."

"Thank you."

After the salesperson rolled up the snakeskin bag, he tied it with a rope so that Xu Lingjun could be placed directly in the bamboo basket for convenience.Then Xu Lingjun bought some other things.I bought two catties of salt for one and a half cents, vinegar for ten cents per catty, soy sauce for twenty-four cents, flour for 1 cents per catty, and so on.

The remaining 8 cents in my hand were spent before I left. The bamboo basket was already full, and it was difficult to carry it.Walking along the road, I went home, passing a small forest, Xu Lingjun saw no one was there, then walked in, and then put some things into the portable space.Then walked out.

There was no one on the way home, the weather was fine and it was starting to heat up.The one-kilometer road up the mountain in Genshan Village is full of steep slopes. It is difficult for villagers to go up and down the mountain, but it takes a longer distance to walk on the main road.

"Boom, boom, boom." There was a sound of chopping firewood from the mountain beside the path.

Xu Lingjun followed the sound and saw that it was a shrub forest that the original owner was particularly fond of, and there were many small shrubs that could be cut down.Sure enough, there were quite a few people staring at this place. Listening to the sound, there should be no less than 5 hatchets inside.

Carrying things into the village, he met Xia Donghai, carrying two loads of firewood.

"Uncle Hai, you are chopping firewood."

Xia Donghai grew up tall and burly. He has been doing farm work all year round, and his endurance is particularly strong. He carried two loads of firewood without breaking a sweat.Hearing the sound, he looked over and said, "Xiao Xu, I'm going down the mountain to do some shopping."

"That's right, now the cafeteria doesn't care about the food, and everything has to be served. Uncle Hai, I'm going back."

"Yes." Xia Donghai nodded.

After saying hello, Xu Lingjun returned home with his things.The source of these things can be clearly explained, and Xu Lingjun is not afraid. Except for the pork that was put in the safe of the portable space, the others were placed in the kitchen.

The snakeskin bag is placed in the main house, and from today to tomorrow is the day for rice distribution in the village.During the day, I went to the team to get food, and I didn't know if anyone was at the team headquarters.

Xu Lingjun walked to the team headquarters with a 50-jin snakeskin bag.On the road, a villager came from the team headquarters with a bag of rice on his back. Xu Lingjun looked at the man and said with a smile, "Uncle Guo, go get the rice now. Is there anyone in the team headquarters?"

Guo Pianzi said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, hurry up. The uncle is here."

"Thank you."

"fine."

Xu Lingjun quickened his pace, and when he passed the threshing ground, he saw Liu Xing sitting there. "Liu Xing, why don't you have to herd cattle today?"

"Don't let it go, now the team is arguing about how to divide the cattle. There are 5 cattle in total, divided into three groups, and I don't know how to do it? If they are divided like this, they will definitely have a lot of quarrels. Divide them into groups. There is no income from grazing cattle, and it is estimated that we will have to take turns to herd cattle.”

"Then what are your plans now?"

"If you have any plans, follow Biaozi and Panbing to pick up cicada shells and chop firewood, whatever."

"Then you might as well follow me."

"Old Xu, what can you do?"

"Go up the mountain to dig matsutake. I buy it for a penny a catty, and the sun-dried ones cost 5 cents a catty. I want as much as I have. It's much more comfortable than picking up cicada shells."

"Really. Are you willing to want something that no one wants? You won't lose money, right?"

"No, don't worry. If someone likes to eat this, I can sell it."

"That's okay. I have the last shift today. I'll go tomorrow. Can I take Xia Xue and Xia Yu with me?"

"Of course you can, but you must keep it secret. After all, it is taboo to do business now."

"Okay, don't worry. Just the three of us will go, and we won't tell others. If someone asks, I'll just dig it up and feed it to the pigs."

"That's good. Then what, I have to go get the rice quickly. It's late, I'm afraid the uncle is not here."

"Okay, you go now, don't delay the big event."

"Let's go." Xu Lingjun said goodbye to Liu Xing and walked to the team headquarters.It didn't take long to arrive.

The door of the office was open, Xu Lingjun walked to the door, peeped inside, and saw the uncle drinking hot tea.Seemingly sensing someone at the door, he looked over. "Xu Lingjun, are you here to get the food?"

"Yes, sir."

"Okay then, bring the bag over here."

"En." Xu Lingjun nodded, and handed the snakeskin bag to the uncle.

The uncle opened the snakeskin bag and said, "Xu Lingjun, why did you bring a bag?"

"Ah. I think they are all in one bag. Isn't there only 30 catties of rice?"

"For an adult man, 30 catties of rice and 20 catties of sweet potatoes."

"Grandpa, then give me the rice first. I'll go home later and get the bag for the sweet potatoes."

"Okay. Go and come back. It's too late, and I won't wait."

"Don't worry, my lord."

"Okay, let's get the ticket."

"Yeah." Xu Lingjun put his hand into his pocket, actually put it into his pocket from his personal space, took out his ration slip, and put it on the table.

The uncle picked up the ration slip and said, "Xu Lingjun, follow me to the back."

The uncle brought Xu Lingjun to the granary.The door of one of the granaries was opened, and a large scale was placed inside.

The old man took a 10 kg and a 5 kg weight and hung it up, and then took a gourd ladle to scoop rice into the iron plate on the weight.Slowly add it in, so that the wooden pole on which the weight is hanging gradually stabilizes and balances.

Seeing that the wooden pole was stable, the uncle looked up at Xu Lingjun and said, "It's exactly 30 catties."

"Thank you, sir." Xu Lingjun picked up the plate, poured all the rice inside into the snakeskin bag, and tied the mouth of the bag with the plastic rope he bought.Then he threw the rice bag over his shoulder, and planned to leave with the rice on his shoulders. "Master, I'll be right back."

"Well, go and come back quickly."
