The Story of Dafujin Parenting in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 191 Buying Rice 2
He Zhuo signaled Hong Yu and Xiao Zhenbao to speak.

"Boss, where is this new rice? Show me this young master." Hong Yu still had a look.

"Hey, who are we on the board? You can't be the master. This is the boss. I am the shopkeeper. Everyone calls me Zhao Er. You can call me Zhao Er, master." "The shopkeeper is really a wonderful person, and he doesn't feel flattering when he says this, it can be seen that this shopkeeper Zhao has been a shopkeeper for many years, and he has already experienced it.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, is the new rice you just mentioned here?" Hong Yu stepped forward to check.

"Young master, there's not much new rice, I've got someone to bring it for you."

"Look, it's so shiny, it looks like it's top-notch."

Where did Hongyu know what was superior and what was not superior, the two little ones leaned forward to have a look: "How do you sell this rice?"

Shopkeeper Zhao rolled his eyes for a while. The purchase of this wealthy family is a lucrative job. Which one doesn't report more? If you buy goods here for ten yuan, you can report 50 yuan when you go back. There are also 100 texts.This is an unspoken rule, and the shopkeepers all know it.

Which family's young master is this, the family's shopping is probably going to suffer, but it's none of his business, Zhao Er, who made him unlucky.

Shopkeeper Zhao thought about it, and said truthfully: "This new rice costs 30 yuan a catty. Where do you live, young master? Our store can deliver it to your home."

Hong Yu bowed his head: "30 Wen?"

Er Niang said that 1 tael of silver is 1200 Wen, and 30 Wen per catty, how much can one tael of silver buy?
Just as Hong Yu was thinking this way, her sister asked, "How much can one tael of silver buy for 30 Wen a catty?"

Zhao Er didn't need to dial the abacus, he knew everything about it like the palm of his hand: "One tael of silver is 40 catties."

The two little ones looked back at Eniang, and He Zhuo stepped forward to check. The rice was indeed new rice. The new rice around the capital will not be available until October, but the variety is average.
This new rice is shipped from the south, and the price is considered fair.

"Okay, come here for two stones, we came in a carriage, and I will tell your shop assistant to move to the back of the carriage later, it's safe, Zhenbao, let's look at other things, let the shopkeeper introduce you."

Shopkeeper Zhao was delighted to have made a deal: "What do you gentlemen want to see?
We have a full range of varieties here. Take a look at this mung bean. It is the best to cool down and relieve the heat in summer.
This red bean is plump and crispy. Put honey and freeze it for a while. It is a very good dessert. This small soybean is best for making soy milk, and this big soybean stewed pig's trotter is the best. The same, 25 Wen a catty, these are all good varieties. "

Little Zhenbao wanted to eat it when he heard it: "Give me a little of everything."

Shopkeeper Zhao looked at He Zhuo, who was the one who made the decision.

He Zhuo patted his daughter's head: "According to my daughter's wishes, this mung bean is 20 catties, and the rest are 3 catties each."

Hong Yu said, "Master Zhao, you just said that these are all high-grade, and there are also middle-grade and low-grade ones?"

Shopkeeper Zhao made two deals, and he was in the same mood as Hua, answering every question: "Yes, but the taste of this medium-grade rice and low-grade rice is not as sweet as the Jiangnan new rice you bought."

Hong Yu nodded, "Which types are they?"

Shopkeeper Zhao introduced one by one,

In fact, the location of this store is in the city, and the rice it sells is naturally better than the rice shops that open near the common people. He said it was low-grade rice, but it was actually the middle-grade rice in the mouth of the common people. .

Seeing that he had finished his introduction, He Zhuo asked Dong Hui, "Are there any more lilies in the mansion? Go back and burn some mung bean lilies to relieve the heat."

A few people went home after shopping, and the two children were a little sleepy on the way back.

After sleeping all the way, he woke them up in the garden with Zhuo Cai, and returned to his own place. He Zhuo sent the two of them to take a nap, and he slept with his youngest son for a while.

　A liter of rice now weighs 1.25 catties, 10 liters of rice is a bucket, a bucket weighs 12.5 catties, = 6.25 kg, 1 stone is about 62.5 kg, 125 catties.
