Chapter 761: Encountering the Best at the Market (VI)
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the stall owner replied, "All the mushrooms add up to a total of twelve and a half pounds. If you want all of them, I'll give you twelve pounds."
"Uncle, here are two dollars. Please pack all the mushrooms. I want them all." After hearing the weight of the mushrooms, Lu Xiaoxiao took out two dollars from her bag and handed them to the stall owner.
After the stall owner took the money from Lu Xiaoxiao, he put all the mushrooms into the backpack, then handed the backpack to Lu Xiaoxiao and said, "You bought all the mushrooms from my family, so this backpack is for you."
After Lu Xiaoxiao took the backpack handed to her by the stall owner, she thanked him and walked towards the ox cart with her second sister carrying the mushrooms.
"Xiaoxiao, can you finish all these mushrooms you bought?" the second sister asked Lu Xiaoxiao.
"I can't finish them all at once, but I can put them on the kang to dry, so I can eat them slowly."
When the second sister heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words, she looked at her with admiration and said, "Xiaoxiao, you are so smart. Why didn't I think of this method before?"
"Why don't you buy some mushrooms and take them home? When you cook vegetables or porridge in winter, you can put some mushrooms in them. They are just as good as meat."
"Yes, yes, yes. Where can I buy mushrooms?" The second sister spoke immediately when she heard Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"First send the mushrooms I bought to the oxcart, and then I will take you to buy some."
"good."
"What did you buy?" Liu Jianguo asked when he saw Lu Xiaoxiao and Liu Ermei carrying a backpack and walking towards the ox cart.
After hearing what Liu Jianguo said, Lu Xiaoxiao said, "I bought more than ten kilograms of mushrooms. There are not many vegetables in winter, so I bought some mushrooms to eat."
"Aren't you afraid that so many mushrooms will go bad? Mushrooms can't be stored like radishes and cabbages."
"I'll go home and put these mushrooms on the kang to dry, so they won't go bad."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Jianguo nodded and said, "Drying mushrooms will not go bad. You have a solution."
"Hehe...Uncle Liu, I put the mushrooms in the car. Can you please keep an eye on them for me?"
"Are you going to buy something else?" Liu Jianguo asked after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words.
"Well, I'm going to go buy some mushrooms with my second sister. Do you want some, Uncle Liu?"
"How much is one pound?"
"I bought 20 cents a pound, 50 cents a pound."
"If you have any, buy me a dollar."
"good."
Lu Xiaoxiao brought her second sister to a mushroom stall and asked, "Auntie, how much are your mushrooms?"
"Two cents a pound."
"Can it be cheaper if I buy more?"
"How much do you want?"
"If the price of mushrooms can be 50 cents per pound, I will buy them all."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the stall owner thought about it for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
"Auntie, please help me weigh out two six-jin pieces first."
When the stall owner heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, she didn't know what Lu Xiaoxiao meant by doing this, but she still did as Lu Xiaoxiao said.
"I've already weighed it for you. There are six kilograms in one basket, and the two baskets contain twelve kilograms of mushrooms in total. There are three kilograms left. I'll put them in the bag for you."
"Aunt, did you give me these two baskets?"
"Um."
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard what the stall owner said, she took out two dollars and fifty cents from her bag and handed it to the stall owner, then she and her second sister carried the mushrooms and walked towards the ox cart.
"Uncle Liu, I bought some mushrooms for you. There are six pounds in this basket. The basket was given to me by the stall owner."
