Chapter 3966: Careful Thoughts
After a while, she returned to the gate of the courtyard carrying a basket. She placed the basket in front of Liu Yemei and said to her, "Aunt, just pour the vegetables into the basket."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Yemei poured all the vegetables in the basket into the backpack, and then said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I'll bring the vegetables to you at this time tomorrow."
"Auntie, wait a moment. This is the money for today's vegetables." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she handed the fifty cents in her hand to Liu Yemei.
After Liu Yemei glanced at the money that Lu Xiaoxiao handed to her, she reached out to take the money and said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "There's no rush for the money. Just pay me once a month."
"Let's settle it by the day. I used to settle my groceries by the day. It's easier to keep accounts this way."
Seeing that Lu Xiaoxiao said so, Liu Yemei no longer refused. After all, being paid on a daily basis made people feel more at ease than being paid on a monthly basis.
So she said hello to Lu Xiaoxiao and left with the basket.
After Lu Xiaoxiao watched Liu Yemei leave, she carried the basket back to the house to continue eating breakfast. After she finished breakfast, she looked at the time and saw that it was already past nine o'clock, so she picked up the basket and walked towards the river.
When she arrived at the river, she saw Wu Shanhua and the others were already there, so she took the basket off her back and put it on the ground, then said to Xie Lai Di and Wang Jia Mei, "Aunt Lai Di, Aunt Jia Mei, please wash the vegetables while Aunt Shan Hua and I go get the pots and pans."
"Okay, go ahead."
After hearing what Xie Laidi said, Lu Xiaoxiao took Wu Shanhua and walked home.
"Xiaoxiao, I have something to ask you." Seeing that they were almost at Lu Xiaoxiao's house, Wu Shanhua plucked up the courage to say to Lu Xiaoxiao.
"Aunt Shanhua, if you have any questions, just ask."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Wu Shanhua asked Lu Xiaoxiao, "Did you exchange the vegetables in the basket with the villagers?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"No problem. I just want to ask if you want any more vegetables. I have a lot of vegetables at home, even vegetables that are not available in this season, such as leeks."
After listening to Wu Shanhua's words, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart that there really are masters in the world. It is not easy to grow leeks in this season.
So she asked Wu Shanhua, "How many leeks do you have at home?"
"Not much, but it's enough for two or three meals."
"Okay, I'll take all your chives, but don't ask for too high a price, or I won't be able to afford them."
“Don’t worry, I’m not a black-hearted person, but leeks are a rare vegetable in this season, so I definitely can’t sell them too cheaply.
So I plan to sell it for 10 cents per pound. If you think it’s too expensive, forget it. I’ll keep it for myself.”
"One cent a pound is one cent a pound. When you get off work today, you can deliver the leeks to my house."
"This afternoon? Isn't it too early? How about I carry the leeks directly to the river tomorrow morning?"
"Why are you carrying the leeks to the river? Aunt Shanhua, you don't think I bought the leeks for the construction team members to eat, do you?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not. The food for the construction team is regulated and the daily salary is fixed. If I use leeks to cook for them, then they will definitely not have enough food for the day. After all, leeks are not cheap."
"Then why did you buy so many leeks at one time?" Wu Shanhua asked after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
