Chapter 166 I’ll take care of it all!
Chen Yunyun picked up a piece and put it to her lips, praising it endlessly: "Mmm! Delicious! Smooth and chewy. Sister Lin is really good at cooking and managing the living room!"
Lin Xiaoyue covered her mouth and laughed: "Look at what you said, I'm not that powerful! Okay, I'll go get Dad a bowl."
As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyue walked towards the west wing with the bowl in her hand.
The drunkard smelled the aroma and stretched his neck to look, "Hey, what delicious food are you making for me?"
Lin Xiaoyue put the noodle dumpling soup on the table, helped Jiu Laoguai sit up, and put a thick cushion behind him. "I made noodle dumpling soup. Yunyun said it tasted good. Dad, would you like to try it?"
The old wine freak was a little surprised and said happily: "Okay, I think it must be delicious!"
Lin Xiaoyue picked up the bowl on the table, sat down beside the bed, and prepared to feed the old monster wine.
The drunkard shook his head and said, "Don't feed me. My hands are much better now and I can hold things. I can eat by myself!"
Lin Xiaoyue asked uncertainly, "Dad, don't be so stubborn. The doctor's hand is very important! Just rest for a few more days!"
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue was very insistent, the drunkard had no choice but to agree. He would be living in the valley in two days anyway. He should take care of his health in the next two days, otherwise the girl would be worried and run back and forth when he went to live in the valley, and he would become a burden to her!
"Okay, then let's keep it for two more days!"
When Lin Xiaoyue heard that the drunkard had compromised, she was in a good mood. She scooped a spoonful of noodles and put it to the drunkard's mouth, "Dad, try it!"
The old drunk took a bite, nodded and praised: "It is indeed delicious! With the girl here, I, an old man, will have a good time in the future!"
Lin Xiaoyue was as happy as a child who got candy, "Dad, as long as I have time, I will make you all kinds of delicious food, even better than Jueweilou's!"
The old wine freak said angrily, "You little girl, how can Jueweilou compare with you! You are my little girl, of course your cooking is the best!"
At this time, Chen Yunyun walked in and said with a smile: "Sister Lin, I'm done eating! Let me feed uncle, you go and eat quickly, it will get cold soon!"
The old wine freak didn't expect that Lin Xiaoyue hadn't eaten yet, so he hurriedly urged: "Yunyun is right, go quickly!"
Lin Xiaoyue did not refuse. After breakfast, she still had to buy vegetables and cook a big pot of rice. Today's task was very heavy!
She stood up and handed the bowl to Chen Yunyun, saying, "You sit down, I'll go eat!"
Back in the kitchen, Lin Xiaoyue picked up the bowl and started eating with a "huffing and puffing" sound. She had always preferred to eat light meals in the morning, and this bowl of noodle dumplings was exactly to her liking!
After quickly finishing a bowl of noodles, Lin Xiaoyue cleaned up the kitchen and then went to the study to make a shopping list. This was to prevent her from forgetting it when she went out and having to go out again to buy it.
"Yunyun, I've done it all!" Lin Xiaoyue walked to the west wing and shook the paper in her hand.
Chen Yunyun had just finished feeding him a bowl of noodle soup when she stood up and said, "I'm done too! Sister Lin, what's that in your hand?"
Lin Xiaoyue handed it to Chen Yunyun and said, "This is what I want to buy today. I'll write it down so I don't forget!"
Chen Yunyun took a closer look and saw the words pork, fish, vegetables, chicken, duck...
"Do we need to buy so much? Then we have to carry a bamboo basket with us, otherwise we won't be able to carry it all!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "I definitely have to buy more! I'm planning to raise these chickens and ducks! Let's go and take a look at the street! Dad, you should have a good rest!"
The old wine monster warned worriedly: "Be careful when you go out, let Zhan Ying go with you!"
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it and agreed, but Zhan Ying was sent to the valley by her, so she called Zhan Hu to go out together.
It’s still a bit early to go out now. The street vendors have just set up their stalls and there are not many people buying things.
Lin Xiaoyue looked around and finally chose a pork stall. She asked, "Uncle, how much is this pork?"
The pig seller held up five fingers and said, "Five hundred coins, how much do you want, girl?"
Lin Xiaoyue was a little surprised. Pork was really expensive in ancient times! However, this little money was nothing to her! And from the outside, the pork here looked the freshest!
After looking over the pork on the chopping board, Lin Xiaoyue asked, "Uncle, is all your pork here? If I want it all, what's your lowest price?"
The pork seller was a little surprised. Was he lucky today? Someone actually bought the entire shop right after he opened!
He said excitedly, "Girl, if you want it, I have pigs at home, and these are all I have after they've been slaughtered! Do you really want them all?"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes! What is the lowest amount you can give me?"
The pig seller calculated it in his mind and said, "Four hundred and fifty coins!"
Lin Xiaoyue pinched a handful of fat, held up four fingers and said, "For four hundred coins, I'll buy three pigs from you. You can slaughter them and send them to the Journey to the West Teahouse."
The pig seller was heartbroken when he heard Lin Xiaoyue bargain so hard, but it would take him a long time to sell all three pigs! But now that a big customer had finally come, he had to hold on tight no matter what!
He gritted his teeth and agreed, "Okay! But you have to pay a deposit of 150 taels. When I deliver the pork, you have to pay it all in one lump sum on the same day! Because this is already the lowest price. Recently, not to mention meat, even rice and vegetables are going up in price. If you didn't buy a lot, I wouldn't be willing to pay this price!"
Lin Xiaoyue knew that the reduction in grain production this year had a huge impact. Yangming Town had a good location and was close to the capital, so the situation wouldn't be so tense for the time being. However, it was impossible to get a lower price!
She readily took out 150 taels of silver and gave it to the pork seller. "Okay! This is the deposit! Weigh all the pork on the table, and I'll pay you in cash!"
The pork seller put the silver in his pocket, grinning happily as he said, "Okay! I'll weigh it right away!"
Lin Xiaoyue leaned close to Zhan Hu's ear and said, "Yunyun and I will go buy something else. You just follow this uncle and find out where his house is!"
Zhan Hu understood what Lin Xiaoyue meant. She was afraid that the pork seller would take the money and run away. "Okay, don't worry, Miss Lin!"
At this time, the pork seller weighed all the meat and said, "Here is a total of 100 kilograms of pork. Miss, please give me 40 taels of silver!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded, took out another forty taels of silver and placed it on the table, then put the pork in her and Chen Yunyun's backpacks, and turned to go to the next vegetable stall.
This was a white-haired old woman. Lin Xiaoyue felt sorry for her, as she was still setting up a stall at such an old age. So she asked, "Auntie, how are you selling these vegetables?"
The old woman said in a hoarse voice, "Girl, these vegetables are very fresh. I picked them this morning! Two cents a pound!"
Lin Xiaoyue nodded and said, "Okay, Auntie, please pack them all for me! I want them all!"
