Chapter 65 Buying Potatoes

"Don't worry, Auntie. Also, these are superfluous. Try something new and let Haizi try my handicraft."

There are also many Liu family members, but they are separated. Liu Changsheng and Liu Changgen are two brothers. Liu Changsheng is the second child. A few years ago, the eldest went to the town to do business. There is a fight to break up.

Old Liu had no choice but to separate the family. Although it was divided, the Liu family had a big house and the family still lived together, but they didn't live together.

Haizi is Aunt Haiying's child, Liu Hai, Aunt Haiying thought, so many things, the son eats some, and he still has to send some to the upper room later, this is filial piety, otherwise he will be chewed by others when he goes out.

Seeing that they accepted it, Xu Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Auntie, I have something else to do here, just to ask if there are any potatoes at home?"

"Potatoes, there are." Aunt Haiying said with a smile, "There are still two sacks in the cellar, and they will not be harvested in a few months this year, so much is enough to eat, if you want to eat, I will send you some past."

I thought potatoes were nothing rare, every household in the countryside had them, so I didn't send potatoes when I gave them things before, but I didn't think that Ruyue wanted to eat them.

Xu Ruyue smiled and said, "No need to give it away, I'm here to buy it, Auntie, I checked it out in the town, most of the potatoes are two cents a catty, I'll buy them, I'll buy them for two cents a catty, anyway I can't have everything from my aunt's house, and now I have some money."

Changsheng smiled and said, "Ruyue, your potatoes worth two cents a catty must be as big as sweet potatoes, how can potatoes be so expensive?"

In the countryside, potatoes and sweet potatoes are the most worthless, and no one sells them in the town. They eat them at home. If they can’t finish them, they cook them and feed them to the pigs. But people in the towns don’t have land, so they will buy them, but they are definitely not so expensive. That's it.

Potatoes can't afford the price of green vegetables.

Xu Ruyue smiled, "I think it's two cents a catty."

Aunt Haiying smiled, "That's someone else's. It's beautiful. My soil is not good. The potatoes are small and don't look good. They are crooked. They think it's expensive for a penny and a catty. What do you want? Just take as much as you want, not much money."

"Auntie, please show me."

"Okay, come with me." Aunt Haiying took Xu Ruyue to the cellar.

Two large sacks of potatoes were spread out on the ground, estimated to weigh more than 200 catties, and sweet potatoes were piled on the other side, and there were more. These can be fed to pigs. Now the potatoes are still reserved for eating, and new ones will come out in a few days. I'm about to start feeding the pigs with the sweet potato.

Xu Ruyue looked at them, and found that those potatoes were relatively small, and the slightly larger ones would be crooked, but she didn't sell them as snacks, so these were fine.

"Sure, I think it looks good. If you think it's too expensive for two pennies a catty, I'll buy it for a penny a catty. You'll have to pay around silver. If you don't accept it, I won't take it. Go buy it elsewhere."

The Changsheng couple couldn't laugh or cry, Aunt Haiying smiled and said, "Then how much do you want? I'll depend on you."

"Give me fifteen catties." Xu Ruyue originally wanted to buy five catties, so the Song family gave fifteen Wen for the ten Wen she brought with her. Now since it costs one penny per catty, I can buy more. I can't buy five Wen. money?

"Okay then, Mr. Xiang, go get a pannier and put it on Ruyue."
