Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 155 Is this a consolation prize?
In just a few words, the waiter not only brought out two chairs, but also brought out a small table.
The waiter held a vegetable plate and two exquisite tea bowls, and the steam was steaming and the aroma of tea overflowed.
"What do you need, Madam, today? The little one will prepare it for you right away."
"No rush, I have something to ask you." Lin Tao scratched the lid of the bowl.
After drinking the sandy water for a long time, the tea in the bowl is particularly sweet.
The waiter was holding a tea tray and standing nearby waiting for questions.
But Lin Tao's heart was lost in the fragrance of tea, but her eyes were fixed on the shop.
This shop has two floors, and it looks like there should be a wing above.
There are quite a few people in the large passage room downstairs.
Judging by the way those people were dressed, they must be businesswomen from wealthy families.
Usually such a woman is dressed in fine cloth, neat and tidy, and has a little girl by her side.
Maybe Lin Tao didn't speak for a long time, so the waiter got a little anxious and started to find something to say: "It's winter now, the situation this year is not good, and all the customers are busy stocking up on food."
"There are quite a lot of people." Lin Tao continued.
The guy immediately started chatting.
"Today is also a coincidence. We all came here at this time."
Lin Tao immediately understood that the number of mothers-in-law here was the same as the number of major families in Qingyuan Town.
I guess by visual inspection, it's only fifty.
Thinking of this, Lin Tao grinned, Qingyuan Town was indeed too small, even the rich families were less than fifty.
She didn't answer the question again, and the word "embarrassment" was almost written on the boy's face.
Next to her, Ms. Zhu lost her temper, touched her hand, and said in a low voice: "Mom, this little brother has been waiting impatiently."
"Why are you panicking? You have a needle in your butt, can't you sit still?" Lin Tao growled.
The waiter next to me became even more embarrassed and quickly answered: "Don't panic, don't panic, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry."
After counting the people clearly and seeing clearly what they had chosen, Lin Tao took out the golden egg and said, "Here, buy all the fine salt. Don't fool me with coarse salt. Once it's installed, ask someone to carry it.
On my bullock cart."
As if the man had received an amnesty, Xue Xue said nothing and sent someone to take the calf to eat grass and water.
As soon as the person next to him walked away, Mrs. Zhu came over.
"Mom? Are you okay?"
Lin Tao sipped her tea and nodded.
Zhu Donghua was so angry that she bit her mouth without daring to say anything.
I thought to myself, should I ask the old lady to go to the medical clinic and have a look.
A normal person wouldn't be able to buy all the salt out of such a large piece of gold!
Lin Tao watched with satisfaction as baskets of salt were loaded into her car, grinning almost to her ears.
The salt that rich people eat is really particular. Just look at the small bamboo basket that contains the salt. It is quite refined.
It can't be compared to the kind of soil salt with sand in it. It's not packed at all. It's pulled in carts and piled on the ground.
If something is really stained, the person who bought it deserves it.
Just because it’s cheap! How can you get good products when they’re cheap?
Official salt is also divided into grades, with local salt being the lowest, costing fifty cents per hu.
This dendrobium is not a pound, it is a government-made container not much larger than a cup.
By visual inspection, one dendrobium is worth at most two taels.
However, it is a tacit agreement that soil, salt, and sand should be mixed together. If you sift out the sand, you will probably only have a little or two of salt left.
In summer, when the mountains are easy to dig for medicinal herbs, the original owner will buy one or two husks of dendrobium and eat them until winter.
The next best thing is coarse salt, which costs sixty cents a bushel.
The more expensive it is, the better it is. At least there will be no sand in the coarse salt.
However, when buying lumps of salt lumps, use dendrobium to weigh them, so you will definitely suffer a loss.
The best, and also the most expensive, is the fine salt she is buying now.
The particles are small and free of impurities, but the price is as high as 70 cents per hu.
At this price, ordinary people simply can't afford it.
In just one cup of tea, there was not much space left on the oxcart, and it was filled with small baskets of salt.
"Old madam, please follow me into the store and settle the bill." The clerk invited her in with a bright smile.
Lin Tao carried the black cloth bag to the counter.
There was an old man inside, holding a pen and writing quickly.
"Shopkeeper, this old lady has bought all the remaining salt in our house. Please do the math."
The old man nodded and said, "Madam, here are five hundred dendrobiums in total. Thirty-five taels in total."
Lin Tao put the golden egg on the counter, and the old man frowned slightly.
After a moment, the old man took out a wooden scale from under the counter.
If Lin Tao hadn't seen it in a book in her previous life, she wouldn't have recognized it.
The old man put the gold beads on one end and the ring on the other end.
She remembered that there were ten rings in a set, generally increasing in multiples, namely one baht, two baht, three baht, six baht, and twelve baht.
The corresponding ones are one liang, two liang, four liang, eight liang and one catty.
Lin Tao himself did not expect that there were actually four taels of these golden eggs.
Forty taels of gold were exchanged for forty taels of silver, and thirty-five taels of salt were spent on it, so I still had to ask her for five taels of silver.
Is this a consolation prize?
After pocketing fifty taels of silver, Lin Tao left the shop with her hands behind her back.
Zhu Donghua had been waiting in the car early, and Lin Tao carefully checked the salt before getting in the car.
"Mom, are you going home?" Mrs. Zhu asked.
"There's no rush. Let's go to Sister Yu's house."
Mrs. Zhu nodded and drove the bullock cart forward.
When Lin Tao set up a stall at Yu He Hua's house, we talked about it in a casual chat.
It's easy to find. Once you go out of the city gate and cross the moat, you can see Sister Yu's fish pond.
Due to the drought, the water level in the fish ponds has dropped by as much as half.
Next to the fish pond, there was a vegetable plot with thin yellow leaves and wilting leaves.
Far away, I saw Sister Yu picking vegetables from the field.
Maybe she heard the sound of the car rumbling, and Sister Yu couldn't wait for the car to pass by, so she rushed over here.
"I said, damn it, why are there still magpies screaming on the roof? Come on, it's the big girl who's coming! Come on, come on, come and sit in the house."
After getting out of the car, Lin Tao followed him into the house.
It’s almost the same as Lao Li’s house.
As soon as we sat down, Sister Yu came over with a bowl of water.
Lin Tao thanked her hurriedly. She drank three bowls of tea in a row before, but now she really wasn't thirsty.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Lin Tao made it clear what he wanted to do.
"I brought some food here, and I want to exchange it for some fish with your family."
"Ouch! See what you said, I'll go fishing for you right away. Why don't you change it? You just take it back and eat it."
Sister Yu is a straight-tempered person.
Lin Tao was so frightened that she hurriedly stopped the person.
"Sister, I'm not here to beg. If you want to do this, I'll leave."
Yu Hehua suddenly turned red.
He pulled her and asked: "Sister, have you been to Fangshi? Did you listen to what they said? I tell you, no matter how miserable my family is, I will keep the fish in this pond alive. You won't
It’s the same, we have a big family of old and young, and we don’t even have a piece of land at home.”
"Although I know you have the ability to walk mountains, when you look at this mountain, there is no green at all. No matter how capable you are, you can't eat it. Why do you still feel pity for me? You have traveled such a long distance to deliver food to me."
Lin Tao was confused when she heard this, where is this going? This chapter has been completed!
