Pomelo itself has more skin and less flesh, is difficult to peel, and has a bitter taste, so people of this generation don't like to eat it.
Even the original owner didn't even look at him when he saw grapefruit hanging on the tree on the mountain side of the Song family.
But Song Xi knew that it was because people of this generation didn't know that there were so many ways to eat grapefruit. Even if they knew, they wouldn't be willing to do it because it requires a lot of ingredients and it's not worth it.
"Uncle, how do you sell this grapefruit?" Song Xi squatted down, reached out and took a grapefruit from the bamboo basket, brought it to his nose and smelled it. It was indeed very fragrant.
I just don’t know if there is meat in it, so it’s really risky to buy this.
"A dime a pound." The old man stretched out his hand and made a sign, almost all his teeth fell out.
Seeing the old man like this, Song Xi felt quite sad, but what can be done? Everyone is like this in this era. It's not like modern times, where they have meat and wine every day, and can change into several new sets of clothes a day.
"Okay, then I'll take all of them. We don't need to weigh them. Let's just count them as one and a half kilograms each!"
Song Xi saw that the old man did not have a scale in front of him. It must be quite troublesome to weigh one, and he would have to borrow it from someone else.
So she directly used this method, and after all, the old man didn't lose at all.
"Okay." The old man agreed without thinking. He also knew that it was difficult to sell grapefruits because of their thick skin and low flesh, so if someone wanted them, he wouldn't say anything.
Song Xi counted and found a total of twenty-five grapefruits.
Then the total weight should be thirty-seven and a half kilograms, which is three yuan and seventy-five cents. Song Xi directly gave him three yuan and eighty cents.
She put the grapefruits into her backpack and sneaked them to the supermarket quietly as she walked. Soon the basket became empty.
Song Xi didn't encounter a mountain dove this time, but he did encounter a pheasant. He took down a pheasant for two yuan.
Because it was a female, Song Xi kept it because she wanted it to lay eggs. If she wanted to reproduce, it would be impossible.
Unless you encounter male pheasants in the future, this will allow them to breed.
Seeing someone selling handmade cloth shoes made by herself, Song Xi bought five pairs for Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi never wears good clothes or shoes bought from supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores when going out. He only wears his own old ones, which is very low-key.
The handmade cloth shoes are very ordinary, and Zhou Yi must be willing to wear them.
"Auntie, what is this?" Song Xi asked curiously when she saw an aunt selling water chestnuts.
Because the names of water chestnuts vary from place to place, she wanted to ask first.
"This is a water chestnut. You can peel it and eat it directly. It tastes sweet and can also be eaten in stir-fries." The aunt explained with a smile on her face. Someone finally came over to ask her what she was selling. Could she be unhappy?
"Then what is this small, bean-like thing next to it?" Song Xi's supermarket has water chestnuts, so she can recognize it, but she really doesn't recognize the small one next to it. Even small potatoes don't look like this.
small.
"Those are wild water chestnuts. They taste almost the same, but peeling them is a little troublesome because they are too small." The aunt was a little embarrassed, but in order to sell them for more money, she took out all the wild ones, otherwise she would keep them at home.
My children are satisfied.
"How much does it cost per pound for big and small ones?" Some things need a provenance, so Song Xi decided to buy these water chestnuts so that she would have a reasonable provenance when buying them from the supermarket.
"The big ones cost a dime per catty, and the small ones cost five cents a catty," the aunt said.
"Okay, then please weigh me, ma'am!"
Finally, I weighed it and found that water chestnuts cost twenty-seven pounds, two yuan and seventy cents, and wild water chestnuts, fifteen pounds, cost seventy-five cents.
Most people are really reluctant to buy this thing because it has no taste and is troublesome to eat, but Song Xi has her uses.
After that, Song Xi bought another 300 kilograms of potatoes, 700 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and 1,200 kilograms of corn. Other scattered items included 15 kilograms of soybeans, 17 kilograms of broad beans, two kilograms of peanuts, and half a kilogram of mung beans.
She asked the stall owner to help her pick out the overweight items in the woods, and then delivered them to the supermarket.
There are so many edible animals raised on the rooftop of the supermarket, so you must buy whole grains.
She didn't see any other good things today, so Song Xi had no interest in continuing to wander around.
Carrying the bones, pig heads and cloth shoes she had bought before, she went to find Aunt Li and the others. As she walked, she saw a gay man with a low brim of his hat, playing with a string of red beads in his hand. Song Xi
As a Hanfu designer, I naturally know something about this kind of thing.
The red beads in a man's hand are a string of red coral necklaces. Red coral necklaces on the market are usually divided into ordinary, mid-range, mid-to-high-end, and high-end grades.
The price of an ordinary red coral necklace is about 2,000 to 8,000 yuan, the price of a mid-range red coral necklace is about 8,000 to 20,000 yuan, the mid-to-high-end one is about 20,000 to 80,000 yuan, and the high-end one is about 80,000 to 20,000 yuan.
About 100,000 yuan.
The price of the collection level is even higher.
So no matter what grade the red coral necklace in the man's hand was, as long as she bought it, she would definitely not lose money. Thinking of this, Song Xi quickly left the man.
She wants this red coral necklace, but she won't buy it as herself, because during special periods, there are big-character posters and reports everywhere. What if this man reports her in order to get the thing back?
Isn’t that worth the loss?
So Song Xi found a place and went into the supermarket to put on makeup and dress up like another man. She changed all her clothes and even her backpack was replaced with a bamboo basket.
Song Xi came to the man's stall, changed her voice, and asked curiously, "Comrade, what are you here to sell? Why is there nothing in your stall?"
"Comrade, I have something good here, do you want it?" Seeing that someone finally asked him, the man approached Song Xi and asked in a low voice.
Song Xi looked at the gay man. She didn't show any special expectation, "What good thing are you talking about? I have to see it first before I know if I want it."
After hearing Song Xi's words, the man looked around, then he carefully took out a string of red beads from his pocket and showed it to Song Xi.
Song Xi saw the red beads that the man took out, and her heart trembled. She was too far away before to see clearly, but now she can see clearly. This is a high-end red coral necklace. If it were preserved in modern times, the price should be around 80,000 yuan.
to between two hundred thousand.
Although this money is nothing in modern times, this thing is beautiful!
Song Xichao said to the man, "How much do you plan to sell this string of beads?"
"Fifty yuan." The man gestured with his fingers.
"Okay, fifty yuan, just fifty yuan!" After Song Xi finished speaking, he quickly took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to the man in front of him, "If you encounter such a good thing again in the future, remember to pay it back.
When you come here, it must be genuine, I won’t even look at fakes.”
