In her previous life, it was not easy for her to make money. She often worked overtime until eleven or twelve o'clock, and most of the money she earned was given to her family. She had no time to spend it herself, and she was reluctant to spend it.
She likes the feeling of watching the money in her hands slowly increase.
She feels safe only when she has money in her hands.
Chen Xinli was still immersed in her own world.
Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Shen Fuyou whispering something to the waiter, and thought his second uncle felt pity for the waiter because of his age, so he didn't take it seriously.
After buying the cloth, the uncle and nephew went to the grain store again.
Because rice is rarely grown in the north, the rice in the grain store is sold for ten cents per pound. Although Chen Xinli has no idea about the price, she still thinks it is a bit expensive.
After all, in comparison, brown rice only costs five cents and white flour only costs eight cents.
Since crossing over, Chen Xinli has not eaten rice yet, and she suddenly felt very sad.
The main reason is that she is from the south and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't eat rice for two days. No matter whether it was rice or rice porridge, she had to eat something made with rice.
I don’t know if other time travelers have this feeling, but Chen Xinli feels that if she doesn’t eat some rice, she will be worried and anxious!
I spent a huge amount of money to buy 30 kilograms of rice, 20 kilograms of white flour, and 20 kilograms of brown rice, totaling 560 coins, which was all the money I earned from selling eggs today.
I originally wanted to stock up a little more, but I didn’t have enough money. Chen Xinli once again lamented how difficult it is to make money.
Chen Xinli did not use the remaining money from her father's weaving of bamboo fans, and gave it all to her second uncle. She had already decided that it would be better to take the money home and distribute it.
Right now, she wanted to eat some meat. Although there was chicken in the space, it was not easy to take it out and eat it directly. She needed a reason.
Seeing his niece's eyes drifting towards the butcher shop, Shen Fuyou, who had just hidden a package, immediately understood.
I bought a pound of pork belly with alternating fat and lean meat, a pound of pork ribs, and the store also gave me a large bone without meat. The total cost was 46 cents.
The price of meat is too expensive now, it has reached 23 cents per pound, and Shen Fuyou is reluctant to buy too much.
Finally, they bought some coarse salt and the uncle and nephew hurried home.
As dusk fell, Chen Xinli was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.
Although she sat on her uncle's bamboo basket again, she still felt like she was going to faint from hunger.
Taking advantage of the darkness when no one was around, Chen Xinli quietly entered the space. Seeing that the peaches were already showing signs of ripening, she carefully climbed up the tree and picked a huge peach.
Without even bothering to wash it, he just rubbed it with his hands and ate it directly on the tree.
The peach was still a little hard, but Chen Xinli liked to eat hard things. After chewing it for a while, she felt a little better.
I ate another big mango and finally felt my soul return to its place.
Then he came out and handed a peach to his second uncle and eldest brother, and asked them to eat it.
Considering that the rice, flour and other things she bought were a bit heavy, Chen Xinli put them all into the small room in the space.
On the way back, I saw a lot of madder that could be used for dyeing in the grass near the roadside, so I picked some and put them in a bamboo basket. After all, I didn’t have much dye at home.
As soon as I reached the village entrance, I heard someone say:
"Hey, Jinshan, you guys are back from the market, why are you so late?"
"What good stuff did they sell? They used it for a day and made a lot of money!"
"Let me see what's in this bamboo basket."
On ordinary days, the villagers would not greet the Shen family.
This family is always unlucky, and the villagers are afraid that they will be affected by bad luck just because they are close to the Shen family.
But today, the scene of the uncle and nephew selling things in the town was seen by Sun Yu, who was from the same village and was selling eggs. Sun Fuxiang's family was the only large chicken farmer in the village besides Qian Dayou's.
The Sun family has four old hens that can lay two to three eggs every day. Aunt Sun goes to the town every two weeks.
Her family's eggs had been chosen four or five times by the woman in charge of purchasing for Mr. Li's family, and she received several cents in reward every time.
This time, the eggs from her own garden were carefully selected and would definitely be chosen, so Aunt Sun was secretly proud of herself.
Considering that the woman in charge of shopping did not go to the market so early, she did not go to town so early either.
So when she just arrived, she saw the shopping woman leading a group of people away, which naturally included the three uncles and nephews of the Shen family.
Hearing the people around her talking, Aunt Sun's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
After finally selling all the eggs under the scorching sun, I returned home, feeling so angry that I wanted to burst out immediately.
Of course, she didn't believe how many eggs the Shen family could sell, and thought that the people at the market were deliberately exaggerating. But she was also unhappy that the Shen family's things were favored by the women who came to buy them.
So, when they returned to the village, they spread the news: Uncle and nephew of the Shen family made a lot of money in town today!
Sure enough, in the afternoon, many people were spying outside the Shen family courtyard, trying to find out some information so that they could quickly imitate them.
Seeing Shen Fugui chopping bamboo strips with a bamboo knife as usual, while looking at the newcomers quietly, several people were frightened.
I also saw Zhang from Shen Laoer's family helping her sister-in-law with something. Shen Zhang is the kind of person who scolds everyone she sees, so it's better not to provoke her.
Several people suddenly didn't dare to continue watching.
The nosy woman was waiting at the entrance of the village, hoping to intercept the uncle and nephew, but she waited until dark before the three men came back slowly.
The eldest son of the Shen family usually doesn't talk much. He just works and waters the fields. He doesn't say a word even when he meets this group of women.
Therefore, the woman asked Shen Jinshan first.
Shen Jinshan evaded the main point and said, "Yes, I came back a little late!"
"I was asking you what you were selling that brought you back so late. You're such a fool, how come you don't understand what I'm saying? You're so stupid, you'll never get a wife in the future!"
