Li Han’s Little Farmer’s Wife from the Mountains

Chapter 28 Buy a cylinder

The place where the pine nuts was smashed was in the backyard of the shop, and after passing through the back door of the shop, the backyard was not big and piled up in a mess. Near the root of the west wall, there were seven or eight bulging big bags. , Sister Cuilian walked over and opened one of them. It was filled with pine nuts.

“These pine nuts are all new products that our shop has received this year. One catty of such pine nuts can smash three or four or two. You should be careful when you smash them. Don’t smash them. Many of them are broken. It will be deducted from your wages.”

As he said, he took out a few hammers and a few pieces of rags and gave them to everyone, “It’s best to wrap the pine nuts with cloth and hit them with a hammer, otherwise you will have to jump around when you hit them.”

After completing the basic training, I started to send pine nuts. At the beginning, everyone was inexperienced. No one dared to ask for too much. Some people asked for five catties, some people asked for three catties, and only the thin girl wanted the most. , I asked for ten catties at once, and it seemed that I really wanted to make that ten cents.

Shen Ruolan only needs two catties. She didn’t really come to smash the pine seeds. There will be other things to do in a while.

Shen Ruolan took a small hammer and a piece of rag. According to Sister Cuilian’s instruction, she wrapped the pine nuts in a cloth and smashed them. After smashing it several times, the pine nuts inside will be broken when the pine nuts are heavy. After smashing nearly half a catty of pine nuts, some doorways can be found.

After smashing the two catties of pine nuts, she almost ran out of strength. Look at the pine seeds that came out, it seems that she can withstand the loss of smashing the pine nuts, so she smashed the pine nuts. I packed it up, handed it to Sister Cuilian, and took out two pennies and handed it over, “Sister Cuilian, look at my unbelievable body, I can’t move it until I hit it. I told Ms. Xie before. I said that if I can’t move it, I’ll pay two cents for the carriage and horses. It’s the fare for my stroll around the town. You can accept it.”

“What are you girl doing? My car is not hired. How can I collect your money? Hurry up and put it away.” Sister Cuilian saw the two pennies, as if she had been burned to her hand. Yes, he withdrew his hands all of a sudden, and complained in his mouth.

Qiu Ping’s sister-in-law also said: “My mother made you take the money just for the shameless two of you. I didn’t really want to collect these two yuan from you. It just happened that the two shameless didn’t come, so let’s not make this fake. It’s a fake coo.”

While talking, Sister Cuilian had already taken out two pennies from her purse, stuffed them into Shen Ruolan’s hands, put them together with her original two pennies, and quickly said: “I said that I had already said that, I will drop one. Jin gives one penny, you drop two Jin, these two pennies are your wages.”

Shen Ruolanbai followed by in the car. She didn’t do much work and destroyed so many pine seeds. Why would she be embarrassed to collect her wages? She pushed back and said, “I don’t want it, Sister Cuilian, I just started smashing it. I’ve broken so much at the time, so I’ll pay you these two pennies.”

“Hey, you girl, why are you so awkward?” Sister Cuilian pretended to be angry and said, “Forget that when you were a child, you ran to my door and squatted in tears when you ran out of food? Now that you are old enough to learn how to do outside.

Shen Ruolan wasn’t angry at all when she was so angry that she felt warm in her heart. Such a kind-hearted Dusang was much better than the sweet words of the auntie’s honey-belly sword.

Qiu Ping’s sister-in-law also said: “Lanya, take it to you, Sister Cuilian, she has a better life than you. You can take these two yuan and buy some steamed buns at the store to eat for several days. It.”

They thought that Shen Ruolan was the poor little one who couldn’t eat enough to eat. This was also a change of law to help her.

Shen Ruolan couldn’t bear the kindness of Sister Cuilian and Qiuping’s sister-in-law. Although she did not lack these two pennies, she was still very touched. She wrote down their affection, and she would definitely repay her if she had a chance in the future.

…

She left sister Cuilian’s mountain shop and went to the street to buy tanks, but she found the end of the street from the street, and she couldn’t find a seller of tanks.

There are a few tanks in the grocery store, but they are all large tanks. She wants to pickle more than a dozen sauerkraut trees. She can’t use that big one. Besides, the tank is too big, so picking sauerkraut and taking sauerkraut are inconvenient. Mainly, the big tank is much more expensive than the small tank, and she doesn’t want to spend the wrong money.

I didn’t buy it on the street, so I had to go to the market to try my luck. The market in Songzhen is not big, it is divided into a few pieces, and one piece is for buying vegetables. It is now November, and the vegetables at this time have been out of the garden. , They are selling some winter vegetables, such as cabbage, potatoes, radishes, mustard garda, carrots, green onions, ginger, garlic, etc. which are easy to store.

One is for non-staple food, such as tofu, bean sprouts, and noodles; another is for meat, including pork and lamb, and also for poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese; and the other is for daily necessities, pots and bowls. There are scoops, and there are really some selling jars, but the price is not cheap. A small lingering jar that is less than one meter high will cost one hundred ren.

Shen Ruolan gave Zhang Eryong eight dollars for the two taels of silver before. He spent five hundred and twenty-four wen at the cloth shop, three hundred and twenty wen at the grocery store, and two hundred and thirty wen for those who bought rice and noodles at the market. , It took another 20 cents to buy steamed buns and another five cents of the car fare, plus the two cents that Sister Cuilian gave her. Now she only has 93 cents in her hand, which is not enough to buy this. Mouth cylinder.

“Uncle, can it be cheaper? I want to buy this tank, but I don’t have enough money.” Shy in the pocket, he had to open his mouth to bargain with others.

The uncle who sold the tank looked at Shen Ruolan’s clothes. He didn’t seem to believe that she could afford the tank, so he said without hesitation: “It’s cheaper at most. If you want to buy it, you can pay for it with one hand. Don’t delay my business here.”

Shen Ruolan did the calculations, she now only has ninety-three pennies, and she has to set aside five pennies to go to the county seat the day after tomorrow, so now she can only spend at most eighty-eight pennies.

“Uncle, I only have eighty-eight essays. If you can sell it, I will buy it. If you don’t sell it, I will have to leave.”

When she was talking, she deliberately took the money bag in her hand and squeezed it. The purpose is to let the seller see the heavy copper coins first. The so-called see the money and see the money, naturally he is not willing to throw away the money. The opportunity is here.

really

“Ninety Wen!” The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and gave in.

Shen Ruolan insisted: “I have eighty-eight articles, but I don’t have one more article.”

“No, at least ninety essays, any less will be lost.”

Shen Ruolan smiled and said: “If this is the case, then I have to go and look elsewhere.”

After speaking, he turned and left.

After not taking a few steps, the seller couldn’t hold back: “Hey, girl, you come back, forget it, anyway, it’s not a few pennies, just sell it to you.”

Shen Ruolan smiled, knowing it would be like this.

“Thank you, uncle, but I have to trouble you to help me take the tank to the pine forest at the north end of town, and someone will pick me up there later.”

Songlin is the entrance of the villages to the north of Qisong Town, but it is noon now, and people who come to the town usually return from morning to night. There will be no people there at this time. Even if there are people, there are not many people. There is a chance to pack the tank into the space.

The weight of a small jar was not sinking, and it was not far from the pine forest. The shopkeeper asked his son to carry the jar on his back and followed Shen Ruolan to the pine forest.
