Traveling through the famine years, the best old woman, I was gnawed into the richest man by my children and grandchildren Chapter 54 It's time to rectify the atmosphere at home
Chapter 54 It's time to rectify the atmosphere at home
Because the family was poor, there were only a dozen or so bowls, and almost every one of them was chipped due to overuse.
Lin Tao's stall was bustling with people.
I had no choice but to wait without a bowl. I went to Xiao Li Qian and gave him a copper plate, and also played with Xiao Li Qian along the way.
Xiao Li Qian knew that others were joking, but he would give serious answers to everyone who asked. His frank little face captured the hearts of many aunts and grandmothers for a while.
And Xiao Linglan, who has almost no sense of presence, uses her super memory to record the order and taste of each diner.
So, even though the stall was crowded with people, there was no rush at all.
Lin Tao had nothing to do, so she went to visit the market again.
Walking further inside, there are some stalls selling old clothes and linen.
Linen cloth, also commonly known as linen cloth, is a cloth made from ramie fiber and made into linen thread.
Here, linen is used by the poor, and silk is worn by the rich.
At the moment, food is hard to sell, and few people buy these extraneous things.
There are about a dozen stalls, but only two or three women are browsing.
When Lin Tao passed by, the street vendor became more energetic.
"Hey, isn't this Mrs. Lin who sells fairy tofu? Why, should you choose linen or clothes?"
"Ms. Lin, although this dress is old, it is cheap! Right?"
Lin Tao nodded. Compared with the time it would take to buy linen and go home to make the clothes, it would be more practical to buy old clothes.
"How do you sell all the clothes?"
"In previous years, one item would cost more than ten cents. But in the second half of this year, won't the rain be bad? It only costs six cents per item."
There are eleven people in the family, so six cents a piece is not cheap.
"Six documents and two pieces."
Looking at the hawker's expression that could squeeze out tears, Lin Tao also knew that she would have to be a bit harsh in her counteroffer.
"Aunt Lin, your fairy tofu can still be sold for a penny a bowl! With this piece of clothing, I can only buy three bowls?"
"I'm not saying that, right now, this is really the case. Young man, who is willing to spend money to buy clothes now? If it doesn't rain today, in a few days, no one will buy your clothes, right?"
The hawker fell silent for a moment.
These words are like a needle sticking into a fatal hole!
"Forget it if I don't sell it, I suddenly can't bear to part with it."
Lin Tao turned around and was grabbed by someone's hand.
"Chengchengcheng, it's your choice, ma'am."
On this day, every family had to recite sutras that were difficult to recite, and she was also short of money.
Each person in the family chose a set of clothes according to their stature, which cost them thirty-three coins, one-third of what they earned today.
Lin Tao's heart was bleeding as she took out thirty-three coins from the small cloth bag in her arms.
One tael and five hundred and twenty-six cents, leaving only one tael and four hundred and ninety-three cents.
Lin Tao originally wanted to buy a few more bowls, but she gave up.
When I returned, a large pot of fairy tofu was sold out in just over an hour.
Mrs. Zhu went to lead the ox cart over, Mrs. Xu laughed so hard that her eyes almost disappeared.
It's one thing for her business to be good, but it's another thing for her son to make a name for herself and make her believe that life will be more promising as time goes by.
They closed the stall, and Lin Taoda even counted the coins in the basket.
Ninety-six cents, excluding the three cents to spread the money, there are still ninety-three cents. Including the pocket, the total is one tael and five hundred and eighty-six cents.
It's not easy to make money now, and we have to prepare for possible droughts in advance... This script is really tiring!
Even if I don’t give you a gold finger, I’m still planning to create a disaster level! That’s too bad!
"Sister, can you make money in your business today?" Sister Yu looked regretful.
Lin Tao smiled: "Business is business! You have to do it slowly. The main reason is that life is hard right now, Shudu only sells for five cents a liter, and my cent a bowl is not cheap. This fairy tofu can't be sold out that day.
It will only break if left alone.”
"Yes! If the weather continues like this, life will be difficult!" Sister Yu shook her head and sighed.
Because of the lack of water, less food was harvested, and the price became more expensive, and those who had no money could not afford to eat. With all the money spent on food, it became even more difficult to buy and sell snacks.
Furthermore, her fish are no longer easy to sell.
After all, if your stomach is not full, how can you afford to buy fish or meat?
"Sister, I'll buy one too." Lin Tao picked one that was about to turn her stomach.
Sister Yu said sheepishly: "If I change it to another one, this one will die."
"It's not dead yet! Kill it quickly! It can't be sold today, and it won't be sold if it dies."
Sister Yu groaned in response, her eyes slightly red.
After the killing was completed, Lin Tao was only charged ten cents.
"How can this be done? A fish this fat usually costs seventeen or eighty cents a piece!"
"Okay! Sister, if you don't buy it, I can't even earn ten cents. Take it. I know you are kind-hearted, so I bought the fish."
Lin Tao didn't expect that Sister Yu would expose her in person, so she awkwardly said goodbye and got on the bullock cart.
It was earlier than usual today, and we left Qingyuan Town at 2:00 p.m.
Maybe it was because the road was familiar, or maybe it was because Zhu was able to catch up with her, and when she arrived at the door of her house, it was just the time of Youshi.
Entering the yard, four brothers were discussing matters and mending the roof.
Li Si took the credit and said: "Mother is back? Do you think I am satisfied with this mother-in-law?"
Lin Tao walked in and took a look, and found that the previous hollow roof had been filled in.
In the yard, Li Er pulled Xu and asked, "Is the business bad? Why are you back so early?"
"Who can tell? Our business is booming!"
Lin Tao came out of the main room and saw Li Er pestering Xu about setting up a stall like a child.
The three sentences are inseparable from "How much did it sell for."
Lin Tao threw the straw sandal in her hand and hit Li Er's door.
Li Er spat out the dirt in his mouth, with a face like a bitter melon, and he obediently picked up the shoes and brought them back.
"What? I want to know how much it cost. Do you want to split up the family? Can I help you?"
"No, no, mother! I didn't want to separate the family!"
"Then you ask, what does it mean to make money?"
"I, I..." With Li Er's big brain, it's surprising that he can explain himself!
Li Si was dawdling on the roof at first, but since he saw his own ox cart, his movements have become much more agile.
At this moment, looking at Li Er with a big shoe mark on his face, he cursed in his heart: Silly!
Li Yi, who was sitting on the ground tying thatch, tried hard to control his breathing, for fear of harming the fish.
The only thing that remained unchanged was Li San, who only focused on what he was doing and didn't listen to what was said outside the window.
Looking at his sweaty hair and back, you can tell that this kid probably hasn't stopped all day long. Unlike Li Si, although he moves his hands quickly now, his hair is dry and his clothes are not wet with sweat at all.
There are no traces of it.
Lin Tao didn't even need to think about it to know that Li Si was being clever again!
It seems that when I am not at home, the atmosphere at home is not very good!
After cleaning up Li Er, Lin Tao shouted: "Hurry up and start cooking when the fish is stewed."
It's time to rectify this lazy culture. This chapter has been completed!
