Meeting the best in the market (6)

After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the stall owner replied: "All the fungi add up to a total of twelve and a half kilograms. If you want them all, you will be counted as twelve kilograms."

"Uncle, here are two yuan. Please pack up all the mushrooms. I want them all." After hearing the weight of the mushrooms, Lu Xiaoxiao took out two yuan from her bag and handed it to the stall owner.

After the stall owner took the money from Lu Xiaoxiao, he put all the mushrooms into the basket, then handed the basket to Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "You bought all the mushrooms in my house, and this basket is for you."

After Lu Xiaoxiao took the basket handed to her by the stall owner, she thanked the stall owner and walked towards the bullock cart with her second sister carrying the mushrooms.

"Xiaoxiao, can you finish eating all the mushrooms you bought?" The second sister asked Lu Xiaoxiao.

"I won't be able to finish them all at once, but I can dry them on the kang so that I can eat them slowly."

When the second sister heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, she looked at Lu Xiaoxiao with admiration and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are so smart. Why didn't I think of this method before?"

"Why don't you buy some mushrooms and put them in when cooking vegetables or porridge in winter? They are no worse than meat."

"If you want, there are mushrooms for sale somewhere." The second sister said immediately after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.

"First take the mushrooms I bought to the oxcart, and then I will take you to buy them."

"good."

"What did you buy?" Liu Jianguo asked when he saw Lu Xiaoxiao and Liu Ermei carrying a basket on their backs towards the oxcart.

After hearing what Liu Jianguo said, Lu Xiaoxiao said: "I bought more than ten kilograms of mushrooms. There are not many vegetables in this winter, so I will buy some mushrooms to eat."

"Aren't you afraid of spoilage if you buy so many? Mushrooms are not as durable as turnips and cabbages."

"I'll go home and dry the fungi on the kang so they won't go bad."

Liu Jianguo nodded after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and then said: "It is true that the fungi will not be damaged by drying, so you should try your best."

"Haha...Uncle Liu, I put the fungi in the car. Please help me take a look."

"You still want to go shopping?" Liu Jianguo asked after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.

"Well, I will accompany my second sister to buy some mushrooms. Uncle Liu, do you want them?"

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"I bought two cents a pound, fifty-three cents."

"If you have any, you can buy me a dollar back."

"good."

Lu Xiaoxiao took her second sister to a mushroom stall and asked, "Auntie, how do you sell these mushrooms?"

"Two cents a pound."

“Can it be cheaper if I buy more?”

"How much do you want?"

"If the price of mushrooms could be 50 cents per catty, I would take them all."

After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, the stall owner thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

"Auntie, please help me weigh two six pounds."

The stall owner didn't know what Lu Xiaoxiao meant when she heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, but she still did what Lu Xiaoxiao said.

"I've weighed it for you. One basket contains six kilograms. The two baskets contain twelve kilograms of mushrooms in total. There are still three kilograms left. I put them in a bag for you."

"Auntie, did you give these two baskets to me?"

"Um."

When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what the stall owner said, she took out two and a half yuan from her bag and handed it to the stall owner, and then she and her second sister walked towards the bullock cart carrying the mushrooms.

"Uncle Liu, I bought the mushrooms for you. There are six kilograms in this basket. The basket was given by the stall owner."
