“Silly kid, why are you standing there? Take it to the house to eat.” Just as Jiang Fubao was in a daze, her cheap father walked in from outside the door and saw him sweating profusely and carrying a food bag on his shoulder.
Jiang Eryong, who was following behind, and Jiang Fubao’s two cousins were also holding things in their hands.
“Uncle, Dad, have you sold the bird eggs?” Jiang Fubao didn’t eat them. She only cares about how much quail eggs cost.
“Sold it, I sold it. TOEFL’s Fu, sold it for a full 180 cents. My uncle used this money to buy brown rice and salt, and also bought coarse noodles. Fubao doesn’t like eating brown rice. In the future, we will eat coarse noodles and let your uncle make noodles for you.” Jiang Dahe took out his money bag and shook it at Jiang Fubao.
The copper plate inside sounded ‘ding’.
But Jiang Fubao was not happy at all when he heard that thirty quail eggs were sold for 180 cents.
If I had known that quail eggs were so valuable, what else would she buy?
It’s so difficult to take out the eggs now.
The quail eggs in the space are gone.
“What? Is it sold so much? How much is left?” Zhang Jinlan, who was watering the private field in the backyard, heard the movement in the front yard and ran over.
I happened to hear Jiang Dahe say that quail eggs were sold for 180 yuan, and she looked at her eldest son with excitement on her face.
“Mom, the price of grain has increased. Brown rice is now sold at 10 yuan per dou. I bought ten yuan. I bought the rough noodles for Fubao. One dou is 12 yuan. Isn’t the salt at home almost gone? I also bought a pound of salt, which cost 40 yuan. Add 5 yuan of meat buns I bought for Fubao. A total of 157 yuan was spent. I planted it in spring. I don’t have the energy to work without eating salt. The five of us earned 40 yuan today, and there are still 63 yuan left. Mom, please count.”
Jiang Dahe counted what he bought and handed the wallet to his mother.
The family’s financial power is controlled by Zhang Jinlan.
As long as there is no separation, everyone has to pay.
Then all of them will spend it together.
“Ten coins per pound? God, the price of this grain is almost up to gold. I remember selling five cents before the New Year! This doubled? There is also rough noodles, isn’t it sold for 6 cents? Salt is fine. It was sold for 38 cents a pound before, but the price of meat buns was even increased. Two cents rose to five cents. I just went to grab the money! Alas, why didn’t the price of grain rise but the wages fell? Five people only had forty cents. I thought it would be at least 60 cents, which is too little!”
Zhang Jinlan’s eyes were wide open.
All food prices doubled.
If you put five cents of meat buns before the New Year, you can buy a bucket of brown rice.
Too scary.
“Mom, it’s okay, my brother and I just carry more food bags, so we won’t have to worry about eatingIf you are not full, pour the brown rice into the jar. My son is exhausted all the way. “Jiang Eryong put down the brown rice bag.
I was so tired that I was breathing heavily.
It took an hour and a half to walk back from the town.
One bucket of brown rice is about 12 kilograms.
Ten buckets are 12 kilograms.
It is divided into two bags and carried by Jiang Eryong and Jiang Siyin. Occasionally, Jiang Yahe will replace them and let them rest.
“Old guys, hurry up and boil the pot of water, don’t make a few children thirsty. Yahe, pour the brown rice into the kitchen rice jar, and put the thick noodles on the stove. I will knead Fubao a few noodles. I will grind some salt for the second family, and put it in a salt jar. “
Accompanied by Zhang Jinlan’s command, the Jiang family became lively.
The sunset outside the house was as it was yesterday.
The sky was covered.
Jiang Fubao stood in the yard with meat buns watching them busy.
“You kid, the buns are getting cold, why don’t you eat them? “Zhang Yanzi, who had just finished washing the food, saw her daughter standing stupidly in a daze, and was very puzzled.
My daughter was the most greedy meat bun in the past. What’s wrong with her now?
“Mom, Fubao wants to eat with her brothers. “Jiang Fubao looked up.
She is too short.
No matter who he talks to, he has to raise his head. He is so tired.
