Chapter 43 The price of rice and flour

Huaishan whispered to Chen Fan: "One tael of silver can be exchanged for one thousand cents, and you can indeed exchange for a lot of copper coins for this 20000 yuan. The silver saves more places than copper coins, but Daxiang has very few silver mines.

, the silver produced a lot was used by some nobles to make jewelry, and not many people used silver to buy things. There were more gold mines than silver mines, but the people almost didn’t have gold in their hands.”

Chen Fan knew that her behavior did shock everyone.

She looked at Huaishan: "Just just now, you and Miss Shi were attracted to the same jewelry at the same time. I was so worried. Fortunately, you two didn't fight."

Huaishan smiled: "I went to compete for jewelry with the county magistrate's daughter. Am I tired of living?"

"It's not illegal to fight for jewelry? If someone really can't help but fight, what will happen, right?" Chen Fan asked.

"It's not illegal, but there is no need. Letting a piece of jewelry is not a matter of losing dignity or losing interests. Fighting for a piece of jewelry is not a matter of giving face to benefit. It also hurts each other's kindness and is not worth the loss.

There is always a way for officials to find some unhappiness for the people, so why bother offend? There is nothing wrong with showing weakness."

It’s so transparent! Chen Fan looked at Huai Shan. This twelve-year-old girl could think so much. The family style of the Liu family is really good.

"Then Miss Shi is also quite kind," Chen Fan said again.

Huaishan smiled again: "She is a daughter from an official family, and she is competing for jewelry with the daughter of a farmer and merchant family. Does she want face and identity? This whole Yuanfeng County is the highest-ranking county magistrate, and her county magistrate's daughter

He has the highest status, who can she show her? If she can still be domineering in the capital of the state, then she will be brave and capable."

Behind this seemingly harmonious is the huge class gap in reality.

Chen Fan also wanted to hear what Daosui and Xiaohe were thinking, so he asked Daosui: "If two girls from the people's families liked the same piece of jewelry, would they start arguing?"

Daosui thought for a while and said, "That depends on the temper of the two people. If both of them give in, they can't make arguing; if both of them refuse to give in, they will have to make arguing."

"There is also to see who pays the money." Xiaohe continued, "If the two are almost the same, no one will accept each other; if the two have a huge financial gap, they will not argue a few words and just spend money.

.”

So, those who have been entangled and argued are neither side having an overwhelming temper or strength?

Several girls were talking softly, and before they knew it, they walked for a long time and crossed an intersection.

Huaishan didn't specify which store to go to, so Chen Fan asked her where the grain and oil store, cloth store and grocery store were. The rice ear was very strange: "Grain and oil store? We don't buy rice and flour today, so we don't have to buy it."

"I just look at the price of rice and flour." Chen Fan said.

"There are several types of rice and flour, and they often change. Let's see if the prices have fluctuated in the past few days." After Daosui said that, he took the lead and walked forward.

After walking for a while, they saw a grain and oil shop and walked in.

This grain and oil shop has a storefront with a door on the inner wall, which probably leads to the backyard or warehouse.

When the guy saw the four of them entering the store, he greeted with a smile: "What do you girls want to buy? The rice and flour in our store are all the best."

"Let's take a look first, and then tell you after you have a look." Daosui replied.

"Okay." The guy responded readily and went to greet other guests.

Chen Fan looked at the nearest brown rice, five cents a dou; then looked at the fine rice, ten cents a dou. This price is quite consistent with many historical information she has seen. The price of rice in the prosperous Kaiyuan period is five cents a dou.

.

There is no sign of arbitrary price increase in this rice. The disaster in other places did not affect Yuanfeng County. The people in Yuanfeng County did not lack food, so the food prices did not rise rapidly.

She walked around the store: Three cents a dou of rice? Only two cents a dou of rice with a lower taste? The price of grain in the store is only two cents a dou of rice, and the price sold by farmers is even lower.

The grain is low and hurts farmers! How much grain is produced in an ancient acre of land? It doesn’t make a few dollars at all.

White flour is a little more expensive, thirty cents a dou.

The oil price is quite high. A liter of rapeseed oil costs ten cents, but that liter of it costs one hundred cents? You can buy ten pounds of rice. Sesame oil is more expensive, a liter of sesame oil costs thirty cents! Will she want more in the future

Plant some rapeseed and sesame seeds?

Salt and sugar are more expensive, and they are sold by pound. A pound of sugar costs 25 cents, and a pound of salt costs 40 cents!

With the idea of ​​buying some when they come, Chen Fan pointed to a bag of candy. Just as he was about to buy a kilogram of candy, Huaishan spoke up. She asked for a bucket of white flour and a kilogram of candy. The guy was very happy.

I helped Huaishan pack the bag and thoughtfully set an extra bag for the white flour.

If a bucket of white flour is twelve pounds, it will be quite heavy for girls. Daosui held the bag of white flour without saying a word and clamped it under his armpit, looking relaxed.

Xiaohe held the pound of candy in her hand, yes, in her hand. The guy also wrapped the candy in paper and tied the twine. If he posted another piece of red paper, he could give it to someone directly as a gift.

.When the Chinese New Year was in her hometown, the pound of brown sugar was one of the essential gifts for many people to greet the New Year. Later, when the living conditions were improved, I didn’t give much brown sugar.

Chen Fan saw Daosui holding the bag of white flour, and couldn't figure out why Huaishan wanted to buy such heavy white flour. Isn't it easier to buy two kilograms of candy?

There is a cloth shop across the street. The storefront is very grand and can be noticed at a glance in the crowded shops. It is a very conspicuous existence. Huaishan left the store and headed straight to the cloth shop. Chen Fan and the others naturally followed.

past.

As soon as the shop saw Huaishan, he came out: "Miss is here? Come in!" As he said that, he took the bag of white flour from Daosui.

Is this the Liu family’s own store?

The guy looked at Chen Fan at the next moment: "What do you call this girl?"

Huaishan said, "This is my sister." Then he said to Chen Fan, "This is Xiaowu."

Chen Fan and Xiao Wu greeted each other.

Everyone entered the store and a beautiful woman in her twenties greeted her: "Miss is here? I was delayed just now and couldn't go out to greet the girl. I hope the girl will forgive me."

Huaishan smiled and said, "It's okay. How are your father's legs? Are your mother better?"

"Thank you for your concern. My mother is much better. My father's legs will be better after raising them for a while." The woman replied with a smile, looking at Chen Fan again, "Hello Miss Chen."

Huaishan introduced that this was Yingniang, so Chen Fan called Yingniang and said hello.

"I happen to have a kilo of brown sugar here, you will bring it to your mother. The white flour is for your parents." Huaishan said, Daosui and Xiaohe handed the thing forward.

Ying Niang bent down and refused: "Miss, this thing is too expensive, we can't bear it. The boss has already rewarded us with money. How can we accept the girl's things again? We can't do more for the boss.

What."

"You deserve the reward. You are all brave when the refugees are in trouble. These are my wishes. I happened to be here when I went shopping. It is not convenient for me to carry this thing, so you can accept it. If you don't accept it, it won't hurt.

It's me." Huaishan's first half was still a tone of business, and in the second half, she was a little coquettish.

Ying Niang was embarrassed and moved: "You child, really ruined me. If I refuse again, I will let the girl down. Ying Niang thanked the girl on behalf of her parents first, and thanked her when they get better.

.” As he said that, he took the white flour and sugar, put it into the counter, and walked out again.

"What do girls want to see today?"
