Chapter 870: Spring (IV)
After Lu Xiaoxiao opened the gate, she stepped aside to let Liu Erdan and the others enter the yard. Then, after she closed the gate, she asked Liu Biao, "What did you do to see me these days?"
"It's nothing serious. I just want to sell you the woven frame."
After hearing what Liu Biao said, Lu Xiaoxiao slapped her forehead. How could she have forgotten about this matter?
"Have you had anything to eat these days?"
"Yes, Li Li gave me ten dollars before, and I used it to buy some food on the black market."
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded after hearing what Liu Biao said, and then she said, "Go and bring the basket to my house now."
"There's no rush for the basket. Can you tell us what you were doing the past few days? Liu Erdan and I pounded on the door so loudly that you didn't even hear us."
"I was out a few days ago and just came back today, so I couldn't hear it even if you took the door down."
"So that's how it is. We thought Chen Qingqing came back to take revenge on you. It seems we were worried for nothing."
"Thank you." Lu Xiaoxiao said after hearing Liu Biao's words.
"You don't have to thank us. If we have to thank you, we should be the ones to say it. Without your guidance, we might be in the same miserable situation as Li Li."
"Then don't say thank you to anyone. Go home and get the basket now."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Biao nodded to Lu Xiaoxiao, then left with Liu Erdan and the others.
After Liu Biao and the others left, Lu Xiaoxiao closed the door and windows of the house, then went into the house to check the food in the cabinets and wooden barrels.
When she saw that there was not much food left, she took out 50 kilograms of corn grits, 50 kilograms of black flour, 20 kilograms of millet, and 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes from the space. These should be enough for Liu Biao and others to exchange.
"Uncle Xiao, we're back." Liu Biao walked into the yard carrying ten large baskets and shouted to Lu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing Liu Biao's voice, Lu Xiaoxiao walked into the yard. She looked at the baskets brought by Liu Biao and others and found that the baskets they wove were quite evenly distributed, ten large baskets, ten medium-sized baskets, ten medium-sized baskets, and ten small baskets.
"Liu Biao, what is the current market price of a basket?"
"The purchase station charges eight cents for a large basket, while the black market charges twenty cents for a large basket.
After hearing what Liu Biao said, Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it for a while, and then she said to Liu Biao, "I charge 10 cents for each basket, no matter how big or small it is. Do you have any objections?"
Liu Biao and the others shook their heads in surprise when they heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said. The price offered by Lu Xiaoxiao was already taking care of them. If they still didn't know what was good for them, then they would really be ungrateful.
Seeing that Liu Biao and the others had no objection to the price she set, Lu Xiaoxiao said to them, "Since you have no objection to the price I set, please follow me into the house to get the food."
After Liu Biao and his three companions, as well as Lu Xiaoxiao, entered the house, they were shocked by the food placed on the ground. They did not expect that Lu Xiaoxiao had so much food by herself.
"What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and choose what kind of food you want so I can convert it into weight for you." Seeing Liu Biao and the others standing there in a daze after entering the house, Lu Xiaoxiao spoke to them.
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Biao looked at Liu Erdan and the other two. When he saw Liu Erdan and the others nod at him, he said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "We want to use all the money to buy sweet potatoes."
