Seeing her granddaughter staring at the ribs with greed, how could Mrs. Hua refuse, even if she thought it was not cost-effective to buy ribs, not to mention there was no oil or water and there were still so many bones attached.
"Here are some more ribs from the shopkeeper." He looked at the large clean bones beside him and asked for them too. These things are not worth much.
"Okay." The shopkeeper was happy to buy so much at once, and cut the meat quickly with his hands and feet.
"Five kilograms of fat, three kilograms of fat and thin. If the old sister-in-law buys more, it will be counted as one hundred and thirteen cents. Five kilograms of ribs will be counted as forty-nine cents. These big bones that the old sister-in-law bought will be given to you for five cents. .”
The shopkeeper was also a good businessman, so the last bones were half sold and half given away.
Mrs. Hua calculated it in her mind and found that it was indeed not expensive. She immediately smiled on her face and said, "Oh, thank you so much, shopkeeper."
"No thank you, sister-in-law, I'll just come back and buy a few more times in the future," the shopkeeper said with a broad smile.
"It goes without saying that from now on I will look for the meat on the shopkeeper's stall," Mrs. Hua said with a grin.
“Come again next time”
"Yeah"
Luckily, I brought an extra basket, otherwise there would be no place to put so much meat. After covering it, the three of them left the butcher shop.
Then he took Hua Jin to the grocery store not far away. Now that he was here, he had to buy all the things he needed to buy at home.
This was Hua Jin's first time entering a grocery store. There were all kinds of things in the store, and she looked at them with gusto.
I saw that my mother first asked for a pound of coarse salt, but when she saw that there were dots of green and black in the coarse salt, Hua Jin couldn't help but frown.
Although I don’t know much about this aspect, I can still see that the chemical content of coarse salt is obviously too high, and eating it will be harmful to the body.
A pound of coarse salt like this costs 30 yuan, which is much more expensive than meat. No wonder everyone is reluctant to buy it. It is too expensive. If a family has difficulty buying a pound and a half, they may be able to eat it for a year. .
Hua Jin glanced at the fine salt next to the coarse salt jar, and then fell silent.
It is said that fine salt is compared to coarse salt. Compared with the two, it is indeed much finer, but it is only relative. Although the color is not black, it is still very yellow. The color still looks not good. It is obviously filtered during salt production. not enough.
Looking at the coarse salt that his mother carefully put away, Huajian controlled his hand that was about to move.
Not discovering it doesn't count. Since she discovered it, it is impossible for her family to eat such salt for a long time.
It seems that she has to think about how to convince her grandma and mother to let her cause trouble... er, not to filter the coarse salt she bought.
Hua Jin's eyes kept scanning the grocery store, but she was a little disappointed. She didn't see the welfare of those who traveled through time in the novel, and found a special seed or something.
Thinking about it, giving her a space benefit is outrageous. She thinks too much.
Then my mother made some vinegar, soy sauce and two ounces of sesame oil. She hesitated and took another bag of pastries. It cost her nearly fifty yuan before she left the shop with her body hurting.
I didn’t buy any food. The family just sold the food and exchanged it for a lot of coarse grains. There was no shortage of food in the house in a short period of time.
Just when Hua Jin thought she was going back to the stall, her mother and grandma took her into a fabric shop again.
Compared with the embroidery workshop, the fabrics here are more friendly to the people. Most of them are linen fabrics. There is no cotton fabric, and there is no embroidery room. Jinxiu is almost sure that there should be no cotton in the place where she is. I want to buy cotton. There may be dangers too.
Although most of them are more friendly to the people, there are still good materials, but they account for a very small part. They are some expensive-looking silk materials, which most people have been addicted to.
Mr. Qi wouldn't even look at this kind of material, but that doesn't mean he could definitely buy it if he couldn't afford it. The most important thing is that it's not practical. Who works in the fields and still wears silk clothes.
"Mom, I don't want it," Hua Jin said quickly as she watched her mother and Nai keep looking at the brightly colored fabrics.
No need to guess that you definitely want to buy it for her.
She really has clothes, and she just made new autumn clothes not long ago.
well! There is nothing you can do about being too pampered!
Hua Jin sighed.
Mrs. Qi did have this intention, but after hearing her daughter's voice and thinking that her daughter's winter coat was made just last year and that it would be fine to wear it for two or three years, she hesitated and stopped thinking.
It was originally because of excitement. After all, my daughter earned more than one tael of silver, and she thought that whatever she earned would be spent on her children. Since Jin'er didn't want it herself, then forget it.
However, the two eldest sons have not bought new clothes for two years. They have grown so much in the past two years that they can no longer buy them. Now they are just suitable for winter wear.
My parents-in-law haven’t added any fabric for several years, and their winter clothes have been mended and replenished again and again.
All in all, it was a lot of money, but fortunately, I made good money today. Although Mrs. Qi felt sorry for the money, she didn't show any reluctance to part with it.
Finally, I bought a piece of green linen to make winter clothes for my two sons. Despite my mother-in-law's repeated refusals, I bought half a piece of soap color and half a piece of brown linen for the two elders. Fine linen is more expensive than burlap. Six hundred and thirty articles.
Seeing that they bought many, the shopkeeper gave them some pieces of cloth, some rags, they said they were rags but they were not really rags, some were full feet of material, enough to make shoes.
Looking at the broken silver and flower brocade that my mother took out, I knew that it was not my mother's impromptu idea. It seemed that it had been prepared when she came.
"Xiu Niang said that your father and I can still wear our winter coats for another year, so why are you spending this wasted money?"
Even after they came out, the old lady was still twitching with distress. She didn't even blink when buying fabrics for her children, but when it was her turn, tens of thousands of them were reluctant to part with them.
"Mother..." Ms. Qi looked at her mother-in-law helplessly, "Your winter coat is already worn out and can no longer be repaired, and the catkins are almost gone. It's not warm at all. Mother can't just worry about what's going on right now." Money, if you and your father get sick from cold, this is not what you will spend."
"But... this is too expensive. The children at home have a lot of money to spend. How could your father and I, two old guys... on a winter day..."
"Mother," Mrs. Qi interrupted her mother-in-law. Even if she didn't say it, she knew what her mother-in-law wanted to say, but that's not what she said. The juniors were all wearing warm clothes, but the elders were not allowed to suffer from the cold. A poke in the spine?
Besides, since she married into the Hua family, her father-in-law and mother-in-law have treated her like their own daughter. The daughter-in-law has also seen it in her eyes. She has already treated her parents-in-law as her parents, so how could she let her parents-in-law suffer the cold?
"Mom, don't worry about money. My husband and I will make it back. Besides, we have a good harvest this year, so we still have enough money to buy clothes for you and dad."
Old Mrs. Hua still felt distressed, but seeing such a filial daughter-in-law felt warm and faint at the same time. She thought about taking more time to do some embroidery work in the future to supplement the family income. After all, the money had already been spent.
"Mom, don't we have any cotton here?" Hua Jin interrupted and changed the subject.
"Cotton?" Mrs. Qi looked at her mother-in-law, and they both shook their heads at the same time.
"Jin'er, are you talking about cotton as a kind of flower? Jin'er wants to buy silk flowers." Qi Shi naturally wrote the word "flower" on the flower.
As he said this, he couldn't help but look at the surrounding stalls. My daughter definitely wanted to buy it. She spent so much money and didn't care about a single silk flower.
Hua Jin quickly shook her head, fearing that Yi Niang would buy it at night.
