Mozun boss is working as an aunt in farming

Chapter 284 She is also a poor ghost
There are not many embroidery shops in Yangxian County, only three. The one that Si Jinbai brought Si Qing to is the one that the villagers often come to when selling cloth.

According to Si Jinbai, the price of cloth and silk thread in this store is much cheaper than other stores, and the quality is also very good.

Here, Si Qing selected five bundles of extremely thin silk threads, and spent a total of 75 Wen.

I bought silk thread, went to a butcher stall and bought five catties of pork belly and two catties of fat meat, which cost a total of 250 Wen.

The meat stall owner directly regarded Si Qing as a rich man, and was so happy that he couldn't see it. He took the money and gave her five stick bones for nothing.

After buying the meat, Si Qing thought about it. He seemed to have been eating corn flour recently. He must have run out of flour at home, so he went to the grain store to buy white flour and wheat.

Why buy ground noodles, because Si Qing wants to eat big meat buns, but ground flour is really expensive.

A liter costs 25 Wen, and a liter of wheat costs [-] Wen. Si Jinbai hurriedly approached Si Qing and whispered:

"Grandma's noodles don't need so much, it's better to buy wheat, and we'll grind it for you when you buy it back."

In fact, from Si Jinbai's point of view, buying wheat at this grain store is not a good deal, and it costs eight cents a liter. One must know that when the grain was just harvested in the village, some people secretly sold grain, and a catty of wheat sold for four cents.

As a result, it doubled as soon as it entered the grain store, and it was almost black.

If the family had surplus food, Si Jinbai would not let Si Qing buy it no matter what. The problem is that the tax has been so heavy in recent years, and the family has no surplus food rations at all.

As for the land that my aunt's family leased to the villagers to plant, most of the harvest is coarse grains, and there is not much wheat. I can't tell my aunt to eat only coarse grains like them, right?

That's why Si Jinbai didn't stop Si Qing from buying grain.

After listening to Si Jinbai's suggestion, Si Qing felt that there was really no need to buy so much white flour, so he only bought one liter of white flour and ten liters of wheat.

No way, who made her a poor ghost now?
A while ago, seeing a doctor and taking medicine cost her almost five taels of silver, plus all kinds of miscellaneous small expenses, now there are only 100 taels left in her small coffers.

Coming out of the grain store, Si Qing went to buy another two hundred Wen of sugar...

Turning around, only two taels of the five taels of silver that I brought in the morning were left.

After shopping, Si Qing realized that the sun had begun to set towards the west.

Hastily led Si Jinbai back.

Along the way, the big and small bags carried by the boss Jinbai really attracted the attention of many passers-by.

On ordinary days, how can ordinary people buy things like New Year's goods with such big bags?
Looking at the little girl's clothes in front of her again, passers-by didn't think it was unusual again. Maybe Miss Jiao from a rich family took her servants out to play and was fooled into buying something?
On the way back, Si Qing asked Si Jinbai to take three people who missed the village's ox cart to ride in the ox cart, and each of them charged two renminbi for the ox cart.

When there are more people in the bullock cart, it will not be so cold on the cart.

The three people in the bullock cart were all pretty good-natured. Looking at the big and small bags on the bullock cart, they asked Si Jinbai with a smile if there was any happy event at home.

Si Jinbai hastily said no, it was just some ordinary necessities of life.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, the three of them were very sensible and didn't ask any more questions, and soon chatted with Si Qing.

Of course, the main thing is that they chat with Si Qing. Si Qing will say a few words when he is interested, and ignore them at all when he is not interested.

The three of them didn't think Si Qing was being rude, after all, they were so pretty and well dressed, they looked like spoiled dolls from some family, and it was only normal to have a little temper.
