Escape in the Year of Disaster: She cheated after dressing up as a peasant mother-in-law

Chapter 35 Purchasing ([-])

Mrs. Liu blushed and said, "Mom, the circles represent rice, and the forks represent noodles. My daughter-in-law is illiterate, so, just, just..."

Liang Shuyan felt sad in her heart: these children looked young, not even one of them could read. No, she, the mother, must teach them how to read and count. This was the minimum, at least they would not be plotted or laughed at by others. .

"Forget it, I also know what we lack at home, so your list is of no use!" Liang Shuyan comforted her and got on the donkey cart.

Ms. Liu froze on the spot: "Mom, are you really not going to bring your daughter-in-law with you?"

Erniu and Sanwang were sitting in front of the carriage, driving the donkey, huffing and puffing for a while, passing through the winding mountain road in Daling Village, and after detouring for about half an hour, they finally arrived at Qingfeng Town, where people were coming and going. Yes, they sell everything, including candied haws, yam, and steamed cakes!

There were shouts and shouts, and Liang Shuyan was surprised by the prosperity of this small town. She glanced at the market, pulled Sanwang and said, "Er Niu, you are looking at the donkey carts here. Mom and San Wang go and see what is for sale in front." "

Erniu had never seen such a lively market. He originally wanted to go around, but he didn't expect that his mother would leave him to look at the cars. He sighed in despair: "Hey, just look at the cars!"

Sanwang was as happy as a flying bird: "Mom, what do we want to buy?"

Liang Shuyan wanted to see if there was any small business that could be done in the town. She had just arrived in this place and was growing food. She had to do some business. Only in this way could she feed her family!

"Mom, look at the noodle seller!" Looking in the direction of Sanwang's finger, sure enough, a man was sitting on the ground, placing some noodle sellers very neatly. The man looked about 50 or [-] years old, wearing a Wearing an apron and holding a knife in his hand, he was making small dough figures.

Liang Shuyan was very interested in the person in front of her. She simply walked over, squatted down, picked up a noodle, and looked at it carefully. "Shopkeeper, how much does this thing cost? It looks very exquisite. Does anyone want it?" "

The stall owner raised his head: "I just run a small business, so I'm not a shopkeeper. The little noodles are worthless, they cost a penny each!"

Liang Shuyan looked at the small-faced man in her hand, pondered for a while and said, "Please give me three-faced man!"

But Sanwang pouted and said unhappily: "Mom, you can't eat or drink this thing. What do you want with this thing? It's really a waste of three cents!"

Naturally, Sanwang didn't understand what Liang Shuyan was thinking. How could a person with a face earn only a penny, how could he support his family? Liang Shuyan felt that it was not easy for him. What's more, such an exquisite person with a face only had a penny, even if it was a charity, she Liang Shuyan It can still be taken out.

"Things that are inedible are not good things. Besides, my mother bought these things for Niuniu and her nephews. Why are you angry? Such exquisite noodles only cost a penny each. Do you think the price is too high? Or are you saying that such an exquisite and beautiful face is not worth a penny?"

Sanwang was silent, and Liang Shuyan saw another pancake seller on the road. It was not a pancake, so she poured some oil in an iron pan and cooked it. Despite this, there were really many people sitting around her stall.

Liang Shuyan curiously stepped forward to take a look. The pancakes were two cents each. They were really not small and enough to fill her up. Liang Shuyan bought three more pancakes and gave one to Sanwang: "Take this, I'll give you two of these pancakes." Brother, keep it, this pancake is not bad, but it seems to be missing something!"

While Sanwang was eating heavily, he said: "This is already very good. It can still fill your stomach in this era. Mother, it is already good. If mother has this skill, we will also come out to sell pancakes!"

Liang Shuyan was silent: "This is a good idea, but my pancakes, Liang Shuyan's, are not like this. My pancakes cost five cents each, but my pancakes must have vegetables, meat and ingredients, so that they will want to eat them again!" "Sanwang came to the donkey cart with a pancake and handed the pancake to Erniu: "Second brother, my mother bought this. You can try it. It's delicious."

Erniu still couldn't bear it. He glanced at his mother and said, "Mom, we still have to save some money. We still have a big family at home?"

Liang Shuyan suddenly became angry: "Okay, I'll give you something to eat. Are you still picky?"

Er Niu had a sullen face and did not dare to speak.

"Okay, let's go, go to the rice noodle shop in front and buy some rice noodles first!"

This time, Sanwang pointed at Erniu and said, "Okay, second brother, you go with your mother, and I'll look at the donkey cart!"

Liang Shuyan went in, took a look at the price of rice noodles, and pondered for a moment: "Are the prices of rice noodles in ancient times so high? A bag of noodles, which weighs about 50 kilograms, costs 200 cents? The price of rice is even higher A little, a big bag costs about 230 Wen!”

The shopkeeper saw a woman coming in and looking at the price of rice and noodles, so he ignored her. These days, there are more people who want to see rice and noodles, but fewer and fewer people can afford it.

"Shopkeeper, can this rice noodles be cheaper? I'll get two more bags!"

The shopkeeper put down a book in his hand and spoke slowly: "Woman, are you kidding me, a small business owner? These days, as long as you have food, it's good. How can it be cheap?" Well, to tell you the truth, our food comes from merchants from other places, and the price is not high. Go to other rice and noodle shops and ask who sells noodles that don’t cost more than 200 yuan. They all get the goods from government merchants. !”

Liang Shuyan nodded helplessly: "Okay, take two big bags of rice and noodles and carry them to the donkey cart outside for me!"

Erniu thought to himself: "What happened to my mother? She picked up a big ingot and suddenly became so heroic and bought so much rice and noodles?"

The shopkeeper laughed loudly: "You are a woman, you are still making such a joke with me at this time. Why do you want so much food at once?"

The shopkeeper's intention could not be more obvious. Judging from Liang Shuyan's clothes, she definitely did not have so much money to buy food, so naturally she did not take this matter to heart.

"What's wrong, you don't believe me like this?" Liang Shuyan immediately took out 200 Wen from her purse and handed it to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I'm not joking with you. Are we familiar with you?" Go away and carry all the food to the donkey cart outside!"

The shopkeeper then grinned happily: "I really didn't expect that you, a peasant woman, could have so much money. Now half of the families buy small bags. They can't even afford big bags. No." Thinking of you, so rich!"

Liang Shuyan didn't want to listen to flattery, so she walked out with Er Niu. When she saw the shopkeeper packing the rice noodles, she told Er Niu: "You and San Wang look at the food. I'll buy some bedding in front. The kitchen needs it." There are a lot of things, let’s buy some more!”

"Mom, you bought so much, do you still have money?"
