Chapter 284 She is also a poor man

There are not many embroidery shops in Yang County, only three. The one that Si Jinbai brought Si Qing is a family that the villagers often come to sell cloths.

According to Si Jinbai's meaning, the price of cloth and silk thread in this store is much cheaper than that of other stores, and the quality is also very good.

Si Qing selected five extremely thin bundles of silk thread here, and it cost a total of 75 cents.

I bought silk thread and went to the meat stall to buy five pounds of pork belly and two pounds of fat meat, which cost 250 cents.

The owner of the meat stall directly regarded Si Qing as a rich man, and was so happy that he was out of sight. He received the money and gave her five sticks for nothing.

After buying meat, Si Qing thought about it and found that she had been eating cornmeal recently. I guess the noodles at home should have been eaten, so she simply went to the grain shop to buy white flour and wheat.

Why do you need to buy ground noodles? Because Si Qing wants to eat big meat buns, but ground flour is really expensive.

One liter costs twenty-five ci, and one liter of wheat costs eight ci. Si Jinbai hurriedly came to Si Qing and whispered:

"Don't have that much noodles for auntie. It's better to buy wheat. If you buy it, you'll grind it for you."

In fact, in Si Jinbai's opinion, it is not cost-effective to buy wheat in this grain shop. One liter of the liter actually costs eight cents. You should know that when the village's grain was just harvested, someone secretly sold grain, and only four cents were sold per pound of wheat.

As a result, the food shop doubled as soon as it entered, which was so dark.

If there was surplus food at home, Si Jinbai would not ask Si Qing to buy it. The problem is that the taxes have been so heavy in recent years, and there is no extra ration at home.

Most of the land rented by my aunt to the villagers' people's farming land is harvested, and there is not much wheat. You can't ask my aunt to only eat coarse grains like them, right?

This is also the reason why Si Qing came to buy grain but Si Jinbai did not stop him.

After listening to Si Jinbai's advice, Si Qing felt that there was no need to buy so much white flour, so he only bought one liter of white flour and ten liters of wheat.

There is no way, who made her a poor man now?

A while ago, I spent about five taels of silver to see a doctor and take medicine. In addition to various small expenses, her small treasury is only one hundred taels left.

After coming out of the grain shop, Si Qing went to buy another 200-yuan sugar...

After walking around, the five taels of silver I brought in the morning were only two taels left.

After buying things, Si Qing realized that the sun had begun to go west.

He hurriedly took Si Jinbai back.

The big bags and small bags that the son Jinbai held in his hand along the way really attracted the attention of many passers-by.

On ordinary days, how can ordinary people buy things like a big bag and a small bag?

When I saw the little girl in front of me, I felt that it was not surprising to passers-by. Maybe it was a petite lady from a wealthy family who took her servants out to play and was fooled by someone to buy something?

On the way back, Si Qing asked Si Jinbai to pull three people who didn't catch up with the ox cart in the village to ride the ox cart, and each of them collected two cents of ox cart money.

Once there are more people riding in the ox cart, the cart will be less cold.

The three people who were riding in the ox cart were pretty good. Looking at the big bags on the ox cart, they also asked Si Jinbai with a smile if there was a happy event at home.

Si Jinbai hurriedly said no, it was just some ordinary life needs.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, the three of them knew that they didn't ask much, and soon started chatting with Si Qing.

Of course, they are mainly talking to Si Qing. Si Qing will say a few words when she is interested, but will ignore them when she is not interested.

The three of them didn't think it was very rude. After all, they were so beautiful and dressed so well. It was obvious that they were some spoiled dolls from a family. It was normal to have a bit of temper.
