V1.Chapter 9

Yu Wan was busy doing business and didn't know anything about the history of the Baiyulou cook. When the ingredients were sold out, she found that the Yu family's brothers' crucian carp had not yet opened. She walked over and asked the two brothers, "Big brother, second brother, what do you want? Don't take it to me to sell it?"

Although their crucian carp is a little smaller, it is still wild, and they should be able to sell it quickly while there are still customers on her side.

"No need." Yu Song refused without thinking, his tone was not very good.

However, Yu Wan didn't seem annoyed. She smiled and said, "I'm about to call it a day. There's nothing else to do. Do you need my help here?"

sold out?

The two brothers were stunned for a moment. They looked at Yu Wan's stall and saw that she really had no baskets and wooden barrels left. Comparing them with their own, the two brothers' faces were embarrassed.

How come two big men are not as good as a little girl?

"You're busy with your work, go back early when you're done." Yu Feng didn't want to stay with her.

"There is still a mother at home, so you should go back sooner." Yu Wan nodded and said to the two, "I'll buy something, and I'll go back when I'm done."

"Yeah." Yu Feng responded lightly. Someone came to buy sweet potatoes. He went to greet the business and stopped paying attention to Yu Wan.

Yu Wan seemed very accustomed to his indifference, so she didn't bother him and left as usual.

Yu Feng took the money and handed the sweet potato to the person who came. Yu Guang glanced at Yu Wan's back, and there was a trace of complexity in his eyes.

...

Today's harvest is good. Fifteen wild crucian carp and more than 20 catties of winter bamboo shoots were sold for a total of 511 cents, which is half a tael of silver. Although it is not worth mentioning compared with the salary of the previous life, it is a different world. Yu Wan was quite satisfied with the first pot of gold.

Yu Wan tidy up the cooking utensils, put them in the big basket behind her, and walked around the market with the little iron eggs.

She needs to buy a lot of things, most of which can be bought at the market, such as soy sauce, vinegar, sugar.

The brown sugar here is twice as expensive as the white sugar. Thinking of Jiang's body, Yu Wan gritted her teeth and bought it anyway.

There was still some cornmeal at home, so Yu Wan bought five catties of rice.

Yu Wan also wanted to buy some meat for her family, thinking that lean meat is too expensive, it would be good to eat some fatty meat, but after asking, she realized that fat meat is not even cheaper than lean meat.

"You buy two kilograms of fat, and I'll make you a little thinner." The butcher said happily.

Yu Wan: "..."

Shouldn't be to buy thin, can you give me some fat?

Yu Wan finally bought three catties of fat, mainly not to satisfy her cravings, but to refine oil.

The only plain oil in this era is sesame oil, which is the sesame oil from the previous life, commonly known as sesame oil. The price of sesame oil is too high, and ordinary people like her can’t afford it.

Thinking about it this way, the reason why fat is expensive is not entirely unreasonable.

More expensive than oil is salt.

There is no sale in the salt market, so you have to go to a special salt shop to buy it.

Yu Wan inquired about the location of the salt shop. It was on a street in Lianhua Town, and it took only half a cup of tea to walk there.

After entering Lianhua Town, everything became orderly, and there were no longer sheds built with tarpaulins or earthen houses covered with thatch, shops of green bricks and red tiles, smooth and smooth roads, streets full of traffic...even pedestrians. The clothes have become bright and upscale.

"Wow! Wow! Wow..." Little Tie Dan was stunned, he couldn't even do a good job of being a small talker.

"Osmanthus Cake - Fragrant and Sweet Osmanthus Cake -"

The hawker shouted loudly from the opposite side.

Little Tie Dan had just eaten his stomach, so he didn't feel hungry at the moment, but when he asked about the sweet aroma, he still swallowed his saliva.

Yu Wan smiled and said, "I'll buy it for you later."

"I...I...I didn't want to eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake!" Little Tie Dan stomped his feet.

Yu Wan jokingly said, "I didn't say I was buying osmanthus cakes for you."

The little face who didn't make a fool of herself, her face turned red all of a sudden.

"It's here." Yu Wan said, looking at the salt shop in front of her.

"Then let's go in quickly!" The little iron egg, who knew that the sweet-scented sweet-scented osmanthus cake would be eaten immediately, excitedly took Sister A's hand and jumped into the shop!

This salt shop is an official shop, and the lobby is very lavish, except for salt, you can't see any other goods.

"What did you guys do? The salt you bring in is not as good as once. What do you want our guests in Baiyulou to eat with such low-quality salt?"

"Miss Bai has wronged us. We have been selling salt from the same place, and the salt we send to you is all carefully selected fine salt. I haven't taken out any bad salt!"

"You believe me!" The girl in the goose-yellow skirt and veil was so angry that she smashed a bag of salt on the counter.

Dare to be so arrogant in the official shop, the girl's background is not small.

Yu Wan didn't step forward to touch the bad head, took her brother's hand, and quietly looked at Yanba beside her.

The girl argued with the shopkeeper for a few more words, but she didn't take the bag of salt away: "I don't care! I don't want this salt! You can decide for yourself!"

After saying that, the girl left angrily, and when she passed Yu Wan, she paused and reminded angrily, "The salt here is terrible, if I were you, I would go to the capital to buy it!"

I don't know who to tell this.

Yu Wan shook her head. She was a village girl who couldn't even afford white rice and had to show her face to make a living. Would she care whether the taste of salt was good or bad?

Being a raft shouldn't be so rude to her. This girl can't hold her breath and has no eyesight.

The old shopkeeper changed the flattering look in front of the girl, and he casually tapped the abacus on the counter: "Second-grade salt is thirty copper coins, and first-grade salt is sixty coins."

"How much?" Yu Wan asked.

The old shopkeeper didn't lift his eyelids, and ordered the small bowl on the counter.

Yu Wan took a brief look and found that it was less than a pound at all. It could be eaten in a month, and it had to be eaten sparingly.

And the quality of this salt is indeed as the girl said, and the quality is a bit outrageous.

But she can't do anything about it. Who will let the salt transport all be firmly in the hands of the government? The most delicate salt is naturally sent to the dignitaries, and the ordinary people are left with inferior but not cheap "parity salt". .

After Yu Wan bought two catties of second-class salt, there were only about four hundred copper plates left on her body.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Wan bought two pairs of cotton shoes for each of Xiao Tie Dan and Jiang Shi, and spent a hundred coins.

Yu Wan planned to use the remaining copper coins to buy some hunting tools. Just as she was passing by a pharmacy with the little iron egg, she inadvertently heard Yu Feng's voice.

"I only have so much in my hand for now. Can you let me take the medicine back and bring it to you another day? You see that I am also a frequent visitor to your family, so you don't have to worry about my default..."

The medicine boy said unceremoniously: "That's not good! You haven't paid off your debts last time, and you want to take credit! How can there be such a good thing? It's the end of the year, you should quickly settle the accounts!"

Yu Feng clenched his fists: "But my father is waiting..."

"Don't say anything! I won't give you any more medicines on credit!"

"My dad really..."

The drug boy interrupted Yu Feng impatiently: "I am also true!"

As soon as the voice fell, a girl's slender hand reached over and poured out a bag of copper plates in a leisurely manner.

"Are these enough?"

She poured out one by one.

Yu Feng and Yu Song on the side looked at her shyly.

Yu Feng's face turned red.

The medicine boy counted the copper plates on the table, smacking his lips and saying, "Today's medicine money is enough, but the previous credit..."

"Then grab today's medicine first, and I'll give it to you in three days on credit."

"Oh no..."

"With profit."

Only then did the medicine boy look straight at Yu Wan.

Yu Wan was scrutinized from top to bottom. She didn't seem flustered at all, and said calmly, "The capital will be given, and the interest will also be given. If I don't give it after three days, I will go to the government with you."

"You're crazy!" Yu Feng grabbed her arm, "Do you know how much it was?"

Yu Wan didn't answer his words, but smiled lightly and asked, "Can the uncle's medicine be stopped?"

Yu Feng's fingers clenched tightly.
