Chapter 150 Chapter 150: Outrageous prices
Ye Li led the two of them towards the steamed stuffed bun stall, and a young couple who set up the stall couldn't help showing a happy expression when they saw them coming, and greeted them warmly, "Miss, young master, come and eat Steamed stuffed bun? Please come in.”

Ye Li looked at the patch upon patch of clothes on her body, she really didn't know how she could tell that they belonged to the young master.

Because he was going to town, Ye Li and his two children didn't dare to dress too well for fear of being missed, so they wore the worst clothes.

Ye Li: "Does your family have anything else besides buns?"

The young woman responded immediately, "There are also wontons and egg soup."

Ye Li lowered his head and asked the two children what do you want to eat?The three discussed for a while, and Ye Li said, "I want four meat buns, a bowl of chaos, and a bowl of egg soup."

When the young couple heard that they ordered so much, their smiles became brighter, and they quickly responded: "Okay, okay, wait a moment, come right away."

Huzi looked around, tugged at Ye Li's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, shall we finish ordering so much?"

"Let's pack it up if we can't finish eating, and we can't eat after we finally come to town." Ye Li replied quite generously.

After hearing Ye Li's words, Hu Zi slowly let go of his heart.

Because the steamed stuffed bun filled their table of guests, the meal was served very quickly.

Ye Li looked at the golden egg soup in front of him, the thin-skinned wontons with a lot of stuffing, and the buns with a lot of meat stuffing, and asked suspiciously: "Ma'am, where did you buy this meat? It's quite fresh." .”

Let alone meat now, they don’t even sell vegetables, so when Ye Li saw that there was so much meat in the wontons, he was not only puzzled, but the young woman smiled: “I’ll tell you the truth, my lady, this meat is from the meat we bought in the east of the town. Head, bought from Old Zhu’s house.”

Ye Li: "There are still meat sellers at this time? It's quite expensive, right?"

The young lady smiled and replied shyly, "It's quite expensive."

Ye Li didn't understand, "This meat is so expensive, how much money can you earn selling this bun?"

The young couple smiled and replied with some embarrassment: "This meat is expensive, and our buns are also expensive." After talking, they remembered something, and said in panic: "Little lady, did I not give you the buns when you asked for them just now?" You said the price?"

Ye Li nodded.

Because the couple were so enthusiastic, she ordered after discussing with the child when she entered the door, and she forgot to ask the price at all.

The couple looked at each other embarrassingly, and then the young woman said embarrassedly: "Our meat buns cost ten yuan each, egg soup eight yuan, and a bowl of chaos fifteen yuan."

After hearing her words, Ye Li choked a mouthful of buns in his throat and began to cough desperately.

When Huzi saw it, he quickly got up and patted Ye Li on the back.

Ye Li coughed for a long time before swallowing the bun, thinking that it would be too late for me to spit it out now.

Seeing Ye Li like this, the young couple felt a little apprehensive, looked at her and asked cautiously: "Little lady, are you alright?"

Ye Li waved his hand weakly, indicating that he was fine.

At this time, the young woman looked at Ye Li and said, "It's also my fault that we didn't make it clear just now, otherwise you can give me less money for a bun!"

Although these two young men were selling buns here, they were not well dressed, and their clothes were covered with patches.

Ye Li smiled softly, saying that he didn't ask clearly, and he would still pay in full after eating.

While Ye Li was eating, Hu Zi had been secretly peeking at Ye Li, Ye Li glanced at the buns in his hand and warned in a low voice: "Eat all, don't waste anything, it's her life In exchange."

Ye Li ate the buns as if they were treasures, and the young couple were not idle either. While pretending to light a fire, they secretly observed Ye Li, for fear that they would run away after eating.

In the end, the buns were not finished, there were two left, but they ate all the egg soup and wontons.

Ye Li asked the young couple to ask for an oiled paper bag to wrap the remaining buns, then took out a copper coin from his sleeve and handed it over.

The two young couples were relieved when they received the copper plate from Ye Li.

Ye Li took Huzi and Xiaomu out of the steamed stuffed bun stand, and couldn't help sighing: It's better not to eat out casually at this time, because if you don't know, you will lose your fortune.

After that, Ye Li didn't dare to take them for a stroll, and went straight to the cloth shop.

It's not that Ye Li never thought about going directly to a tailor shop to buy clothes for them, but the clothes here didn't meet her aesthetics, they were cumbersome and dirty, so Ye Li decided to make them for them by himself, anyway, it's okay to be idle at home.

Because of the lessons learned just now, Ye Lili didn't dare to have the fabrics he liked cut directly, and only dared to buy them after asking the price. Fortunately, the price of the clothes was not so outrageous, and it was still within her tolerance.

After buying clothes, Ye Li wanted to go back, but when he thought about how hard it was to come to the town, he hesitated, and after thinking about it for a while, he led them decisively towards the east of the town.

Huzi pulled her and asked suspiciously: "Auntie, if we don't go back, why don't we go there?"

Ye Li lowered his head and whispered to the two children, "Go buy meat."

During this time, all they ate were the bacon they had saved up before, and they were already hungry.

Huzi and Xiaomu's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they still persuaded them rationally: "You can only buy a little."

Ye Li: "Don't worry! Don't buy too much."

When we arrived in the east of the town, we saw the pork stall they mentioned at first glance. There was only the owner in front of the pork stall, and it was empty.

Ye Li walked over with the two children, the boss looked up at her while cutting the bones, and asked casually, "What do you want?"

Ye Li pointed to the ribs in his hand and asked, "How do you sell this?"

Boss: "Twenty Wen a catty."

Ye Li pointed to the pork belly next to him and asked, "What about this one?"

Boss: "Thirty Wen a catty."

Hearing the asking price, even a child like Huzi knew that the price was so outrageous that it flew up.

Hu Zi tugged at Ye Li's sleeve, and whispered, "Auntie, forget it!"

Ye Li looked at the two children, then at the meat on the stall, and said cruelly, "Give me two catties of pork ribs and two catties of pork belly."

Only then did the boss raise his careless eyes, and asked in disbelief, "You really want so much?"

Ye Li nodded, "That's a lot."

The boss smashed the meat chopping knife on the chopping board, and said viciously: "You better not play tricks on me, or..." Ye Li knew what he meant without his words being clear.

He took out a hundred Wen from his sleeve and put it on the chopping board, and said lightly, "Cut it!"

The boss saw the money, so he cut the meat for her.

After cutting the meat, he tied her up with a rope, watched her put it in the basket, and suddenly the boss threw her a bone without any meat, "This bone is for you. Although there is no meat, it can still make soup .”
