MTL - The Reborn Lady is Farming-Chapter 8 food price
Chang's butcher's knife was very accurate. With a single knife, a pound of pork belly was neither too much nor too much. He took the spare ribs and put them on with a rope and handed them over to Mu Yangling.
Mu Yangling looked up at his father, Mu Shi looked at her with a smile, Mu Yangling smiled and took out a copper plate from his arms and gave it to Butcher Chang.
Chang Butcher smiled and said, "Okay, now the little lady can be in charge, and Lao Mu has given birth to a good girl."
Mu Shi and the proud one stood up with their chests up, and Hechang Butcher waved his hand and went to the grain shop.
The price of food has risen again. Mu Shi frowned and felt a little uneasy. After thinking about it, he said to the boss: "I want 20 catties of millet, two stone rice, 60 catties of white noodles and 60 catties of black noodles."
The boss raised his brows slightly and looked at Mu Shi in surprise.
Mu Shi touched his head and smiled embarrassedly, "My family doesn't grow food, so I buy it all from outside. It just so happens that if I make some money today, I will buy more and eat more."
The boss looked at Mu Shi's simple and honest appearance, nodded, and said to the child, "Go get a bag and put it on Mr. Mu."
One stone of rice is 120 catties. Besides millet, rice and flour are only 360 catties. Mu Shi and Mu Yangling have a lot of food, and this amount of food is enough to keep their family hungry for three months.
But these cost a lot, even though Mu Shi has chosen medium-priced rice and white noodles
Medium-sized rice is one or two or three cents per stone, but before, it was only one or two or two cents. You must know that it is already in the autumn harvest. It was only one or two cents when it was green and yellow, but now it has risen by one cent. Think more.
The medium white flour is 12 cents a pound, the black noodles are 9 cents a pound, and millet is the most expensive at 18 cents a pound, all of which have gone up in price.
Mu Yangling also pays attention to food prices at ordinary times, but at this time, he could not help but calm down, knowing that something was wrong.
The second of the grain shop packed them with things, the boss made an abacus, and Mu Yangling has already figured it out.
"A total of 422 coins and 20 wen." The grain shop owner and Mu Yangling said in unison.
The owner of the grain shop glanced at Mu Yangling in amazement. At this time, there were very few people who could settle accounts, and even fewer people could do such a quick mental calculation.
Mu Shi took out the money to pay, but the two coins and 20 coins were copper plates from Mu Yangling's side. In this way, the money earned today would only be 42,283 coins, and then reduce the amount. The 50 cents in taxes paid for entering the market today are only 422 cents and 33 cents left.
Not to mention Mu Yangling, even Mu Shi couldn’t help but feel a little frustrated. Besides, Mu Shi wanted to buy more food just in case.
Mu Shi didn't let his daughter carry the food out, and he always took great care not to let her daughter show her strength to people other than the villagers.
Putting all the things he bought on the cart and tying it up, Mu Shi said to his silent daughter, "Get on the cart, Dad will push you back."
Mu Yangling hurriedly climbed onto the trolley, turned his back to his father, and said in a high voice, "Father, I'm seated, let's go."
"Okay, let's go now." The trolley walked steadily.
Mu Yangling tilted his head to look at the stalls on both sides, with some worry in his eyes, this is the border gate, and food is not only affected by natural disasters and seasons, but also by war.
She doesn't know about other places, but according to the old people in the village, this year's grain can be considered a bumper harvest. The wheat and rice in the fields are gradually ripening, and the village is slowly starting to harvest. It is said that the price of grain at this time should be slow. Slowly to decline is, at this time the price of food is rising.
Mu Yangling was in a bad mood, but she didn't want to affect Mu Shi, so she could only turn her back to him and try to pretend she was happy and relaxed.
Mu Shi was not as worried as Mu Yangling. After all, he had experienced a lot. Although he was worried, he looked away after a while, and the boat went straight to the bridge.
Shu Wanniang stood in front of the door and waited for them to come back. Xiao Bowen squatted aside and played by himself. When he saw his father pushing his sister back, he immediately threw away the stone in his hand and ran over.
Mu Shi stopped the trolley, Mu Yangling jumped down and picked up his brother and put it on the trolley, smiling: "Sit back for you."
Xiao Bowen ran all the way down and was out of breath. He didn't resist when he was carried by his sister to the trolley with one hand. Instead, he grabbed the grain bag with great interest, and shouted with bright eyes: "Go forward, go forward."
Mu Shi saw that his son was happy and rejoiced in his heart, so he quickened his pace, and Xiao Bowen shouted "Oh, oh", and the family arrived at the door in a short time.
Niang Shu Wan looked at them with frowning eyes and waved to Xiao Bowen, "Come down quickly, don't tire your father."
Mu Yangling took his younger brother down, turned around and said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, it only weighs a few hundred pounds, so Dad definitely won't be tired."
Mu Shi nodded again and again, "It's no problem to add a few hundred more kilograms."
Shu Wanniang wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said softly, "I know you are strong, but on this hot day, walking on the road empty-handed is a disaster. Why don't you wait for the sun to go down before returning?"
Mu Shi smiled and said, "I'm not worried that you and your son are at home?" Mu Shi looked at Shu Wanniang's belly, "It's been seven months, so be careful."
Shu Wanniang pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I only walk around the house and don't do heavy work, what can I do?"
Seeing that her parents were showing their affection over there, Mu Yangling walked into the house with a bag of rice in one hand. Xiao Bowen looked at her sister, who was almost submerged in the grain bag, and then at her mother, who was still wiping the sweat of her father. Small short legs to keep up with my sister.
Mu Yangling put the rice on the ground, and when he saw his brother, he took out a piece of candy from his pocket and put it in his hand, "This is what my sister bought for you, eat it."
Xiao Bowen's eyes were sparkling, "Where's my sister's?"
Mu Yangling wrinkled his nose and said, "I don't like candy, so you should eat it."
However, Xiao Bowen felt that there would be no one in this world who didn't like candy, and my sister would definitely give it to him if she didn't eat it, so Xiao Bowen amicably opened the candy wrapper, licked it, and put it to her sister's mouth, saying: "Sister , eat quickly, you take a bite, I'll take a bite."
Mu Yangling looked at the saliva of the little blog post above, but couldn't take a sip. He shook his head and waved his hand and said, "I don't eat candy. I heard that eating too much candy will damage my teeth, so I won't eat it, you can eat it."
Xiao Bowen nodded clearly and said: "By the way, my sister's teeth fell out, is it because she ate too much sugar?" Xiao Bowen hesitated, "Then if I eat sugar, will I lose my teeth like my sister? "
"..." Mu Yangling reiterated solemnly, "I don't lose my teeth because I eat candy, but because I grew up, and you will lose your teeth when you grow up."
Xiao Bowen looked at her sister in horror.
Mu Yangling turned around and went out to carry the rest of the food.
Xiao Bowen faced the candy in his hand alone, and said to himself: "Since you will lose your teeth when you grow up, then I will eat more. Anyway, the teeth will fall out..."
has already walked out of the room, but just heard Mu Yangling: "..."
Mu Yangling moved everything back to the room. Shu Wanniang had already entered the kitchen to get food for their father and daughter. Mu Shi stood outside the kitchen and said, "I'll do it. Your belly is getting bigger and bigger."
Shu Wanniang smiled and said, "My seven-month-old belly is still on the ground. I just went into the kitchen. Come in and sit in the hall, I'll be fine soon."
Mu Yangling and Xiao Bowen nodded again and again, "Yes, Dad, go into the house and let your mother cook."
Mu Shi patted their heads, "Don't you dislike what my father makes is not delicious? Some food is good, and your father's craftsmanship is not bad."
is not bad, but compared with my mother, it is one heaven and one underground.
Mu Yangling and Xiao Bowen slandered.
