four and a half year old farm family pet

Chapter 20 Xu Liudi went up the mountain and didn’t come back
Jin Zhong and the five brothers of the Jin family brought back a total of [-] kilograms of rice, which was all old rice from last year.

In addition, I also brought some vinegar, a jar of oil, and a jar of ridiculously expensive salt.

Jin Zhong handed the money left over from buying grain and oil to Miao for safekeeping.

Mrs. Miao counted the remaining money and couldn't help but ask: "How come there are still more than two taels left? Isn't the rice price sixty cents per dou?"

According to the calculation of sixty cents per dou of rice, six hundred kilograms of rice should be paid three to six cents, and the remaining money should be one to two or four cents.

But the total amount of money Jin Zhong handed her was twenty-six cents. After all, a bushel of rice only cost forty cents?
Miao spent a long time hammering before arriving at this price, which was a bit unbelievable. Isn't this exactly the price of rice before the famine?

Jin Zhong smoked a few water pipes to relieve the pressure, "We met a kind person who provided food for disaster relief, which stabilized the market price. Other rice and grain shops sell old rice for [-] or even [-] yuan a bucket, but here the kind person and Before the famine year, the price was still [-] cents per dou, but each person was limited to [-] kilograms."

So the six of them, father and son, bought six hundred kilograms of grain, and spent a total of twenty-four cents, or twenty-four hundred cents.

Miao couldn't believe that her family had such good luck, "Rice that cost forty cents per catty was sold for forty cents per catty? It's incredible."

Jin Zhong looked at her and said, "Have you heard of Pei's Trading Company?"

No matter how ignorant Miao was as a village woman, it was impossible that she had never heard of the name of Pei's Trading Company.

That was the Pei family, who was awarded the title of "the best businessman in the world" by the emperor.

If the Pei family opened a warehouse to sell grain to stabilize prices, it would indeed be possible to pay [-] cents per pound.

Mrs. Miao clasped her hands together: "God has really blessed our Jin family and allowed us to buy [-] kilograms of grain, which will last until spring."

When spring comes, all the wild vegetables and other things in the mountains will definitely grow. By then, even digging wild vegetables will be able to feed the whole family.

"Yes, God will help my Jin family to tide over the difficulties. Let's eat quickly. When we finish eating, our family will get together to figure out what to do next."

Jin Zhong gave the order, and everyone in the Jin family, including Yuanbao, sat on the table. They all looked at the large pottery basin with a lid on the table. Only Yuanbao's eyes were not on the table, but on a He glanced outside the door vigorously.

"What is this?" Jin Zhong saw that the food at home was rare and rich, including stir-fried wild vegetables, pickled pancakes, and bowls of sticky multigrain porridge. He couldn't help but become curious about the large pottery pot with a lid on the table.

As the hostess, Miao was the first to distribute the food and said with a smile: "Brother Zhong, it's fish soup."

"Fish soup??" Jin Zhong said in shock: "It's such a cold day, how can there be fish at home? Did the fifth daughter-in-law bring it back from her parents' house?" "How can that be possible? The fastest way is for the fifth daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' house to borrow food. We have to go back tomorrow. This fish was caught by Yuan Bao and Lai Bao, brothers and sisters, working together in the river! They didn't even use earthworms."

Miao happily remembered Yuan Bao's achievements and emphasized that Yuan Bao caught the fish without using earthworms.

Jin Si exclaimed with excitement, "Oh, my mother! My daughter is so awesome!"

After saying that, he pulled the Yuanbao to his side and took a big sip.

Yuan Bao was a little shy, "Grandpa, dad, it's not Yuan Bao's fault, it's the brothers who were so strong that they caught the fish."

"Everyone has the credit, both!" Jin Si and Miao said cheerfully. The other adults in the family, including Bao Juhua, also had a somewhat satisfied smile on their faces. No matter whose credit it was, there was fish soup at home. Drinking is a good thing.

Jin Zhong couldn't help but take a second look at Yuan Bao. This little granddaughter, even though she was starving and skinny, still looked like a New Year doll.

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't bear to associate such a doll with the broom star. Looking at the fish on the table, he inevitably had a bold guess in his mind.

Jin Zhong put away his thoughts about Yuan Bao and waited for Miao to finish serving the fish soup before he raised his hand and said, "Let's eat."

The head of the family spoke, and the big guys eagerly picked up their rice bowls and took a swig of fish soup.

The men of the Jin family couldn't help but say something rude in their hearts: It tastes so damn delicious, how long have you been eating meat?
After drinking such a delicious bowl of fish soup sprinkled with chopped green onion, they would be willing to die now.

The children even drank more and more and even licked the bottom of the bowl clean.

Only Yuanbao didn't move and kept looking out the door.

Her strangeness quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Jin Zhong asked: "Yuanbao, why don't you drink the soup? Drink it quickly. The fish soup will taste fishy when it gets cold."

Yuan Bao pursed his lips, "Grandpa, it's getting dark, and my mother hasn't come back from going up the mountain yet. Yuan Bao has to wait for her to come back and eat together..."
