Chapter 51 Procurement



Wei Yuyan had completely forgotten about the clay pot before, and only remembered the iron pot.

I guess this clay pot is cheaper than an iron pot, and rice cooked in this clay pot tastes much better than rice cooked in an iron pot.

"Madam, this casserole can be used to make soup and cook rice, and it doesn't use up any firewood."

The owner saw the guests arrive and quickly came over to introduce the products.

"They look alright, how much are they?"

Wei Yuyan has decided to buy this.

"This is not expensive, sixty coins."

The boss made a six.

"This isn't expensive? How about fifty coins? Will you sell it or not?"

Wei Yuyan felt that the price was still within her acceptable range, so she took out fifty coins from her pocket and handed them over.

"Well... okay, okay."

The boss gritted his teeth. This was his first sale of the day, and it would be bad luck if it didn't go through. However, he knew that fifty coins was not enough to make him earn much.

If it weren't for the fact that it was the first order, I wouldn't have agreed. After taking the money, I even helped put the casserole into Wei Yuyan's basket.

"Thank you, boss. I see you still sell jars here. I'll buy jars from you next time."

Wei Yuyan saw that there were jars inside, but there wasn't anything suitable for pickling cabbage in the field right now, only radishes. She'd have to wait until next month.

"Okay, okay, take care."

The shop owner wasn't sure if she meant it or not when she said she'd come back to buy next time, but she was quite pleased to hear it and smiled as she saw them out.

"That's good, at least we have two pots now. Sister-in-law, you still need to go buy a lock."

Previously, Wei Yuyan thought it was too expensive and only bought one lock. Now that she has more valuable things in the house, it's better to lock her room.

Wei Yuyan went to the blacksmith shop and chose the same lock as before.

"This is fifty coins."

The blacksmith didn't know if the price increase was real or fake; Wei Yuyan clearly remembered that it cost forty coins last time.

"Boss, I'm a regular customer. Don't you remember me? I just bought the exact same thing for forty coins last month."

Wei Yuyan responded with a smile.

"Oh, in that case, you can give me forty coins."

The blacksmith didn't even look up, continuing to forge his tools.

Wei Yuyan didn't expect the blacksmith to be so good at bluffing; it seemed he was just trying to fool whoever he could.

Fortunately, I was experienced enough to put forty coins on the table and leave with the children.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't know you could buy things this way, and you could save a lot of money!"

Xiaoqian really learned something today.

"Yes, we can bargain when we buy things, but we can't get angry. We have to bargain with a smile. As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face."

Look, we've saved twenty coins today, enough to buy two pounds of pork belly.

As Wei Yuyan walked, she shared her experiences with the two children, who both expressed that they had learned a lot.

"Hair ornament~".

Wei Yuyan was immediately attracted when she saw the stall selling hair accessories; she had wanted to buy some for the children for a long time.

"So beautiful."

Wu Qian couldn't take her eyes off it either.

"Qianqian, let's buy a pair of pink ones and a pair of yellow ones, okay?"

Wei Yuyan picked out two pairs of the prettiest colors, which are also more suitable for younger girls.

"Sister-in-law, just buy a pair."

Wu Qian liked them all, but didn't want to waste money.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law brought enough money today. Boss, how much is a pair?"

Wei Yuyan thought that she had suffered a little when she didn't have money, but now that she had money, there was no need to be too frugal.

"Three coins for a pair, or five coins for two pairs."

The boss explained patiently.

"Okay, here you go."

Wei Yuyan took out five coins and handed them over, then gave the hair ornament to Wu Qian to keep for herself.

As for Wu Lei, he doesn't need to tie his hair up yet. Children like him can just have their hair tied up with a cloth strip. He can wear a crown when he turns fifteen.

"It smells so good~".

Wu Qian was drawn in by the aroma of oil from the side.

"This must be a fried dough stick, it smells so good! Six fried dough sticks and six fried dough sticks, please."

The three of them hadn't had breakfast yet, and they were looking at the freshly made fried dough sticks and fried bread rolls.

Wei Yuyan's mouth was practically watering.

Wei Yuyan bought three fried dough cakes and three fried dough sticks.

"Come on, eat up. If Qianqian can't finish it, give it to your brother."

Wei Yuyan figured that Wu Qian definitely couldn't finish the fried dough sticks and fried pancakes.

"Mmm, it's delicious."

The three of them sat on the steps in front of a closed shop, slowly eating hot fried dough sticks.

Afterwards, Wei Yuyan went to the pastry shop and bought a pound of mung bean cake and a pound of peanut brittle.

The peanut brittle is covered with peanuts, and it tastes crispy and sweet. Wei Yuyan likes it quite a bit, but the children prefer pastries.

"Boss, I'd like two pounds of pig's trotters, could you chop them for me? Four spare ribs, two pounds of pork belly, and do you have any offal?"

Wei Yuyan was prepared for a major hemorrhage today, since everyone was craving meat after all, it had been so many days since she had eaten any.

"Alright, we have offal today, including pig intestines and pig stomach."

The shop owner knew Wei Yuyan, not because she bought a lot of meat, but mainly because she loved to buy pig offal.

He was a little curious but too embarrassed to ask, afraid of upsetting the guest, so he chose to keep quiet.

"Then I want them all."

Wei Yuyan didn't expect there to be pork tripe today; pork tripe is delicious when stir-fried.

"Pig's trotters are twenty-four coins, spare ribs are also twenty-four coins, and pork belly is twenty coins, which is exactly sixty-eight coins. You can give me sixty-five coins."

The butcher's biggest customer today was Wei Yuyan, so he gave her a discount of three coins to leave a good impression.

"I'm really sorry, boss, I've taken advantage of you."

Wei Yuyan hadn't expected the shopkeeper to give her a discount of three coins, so she counted out sixty-five coins and gave them to him.

"Should we chop up the ribs too?"

The shop owner felt that Wei Yuyan always asked him to chop the ribs before.

"Yes, it's about this big."

Wei Yuyan is going to make braised pork ribs tonight.

All the meat they bought was put into a clay pot, and Wu Lei held the pig offal in his hand. Wu Lei's face was a little dark; this stuff really smelled terrible.

"Think about it, is there anything else you want to buy?"

Wei Yuyan also began to think about what else she needed to buy.

"Sister-in-law, you said you wanted to buy red dates last time?"

Wu Lei remembered that last time his sister-in-law was so focused on cooking that white fungus that she couldn't bear to eat the red dates.

"Oh, right, it would be even better if you bought some longan too."

Wei Yuyan nodded and led the children to the general store.

"Madam, please feel free to browse; our shop offers reasonable prices."

The owner was still arranging the spices in front, while Wei Yuyan went to the back, where there were red dates, peanuts, beans, and longan.

"How much are the red dates and longans?"

Wei Yuyan thought that buying one pound of each should be about right.

"Red dates cost eight coins, longans cost twelve coins."

The boss came over.

"Then let's have one pound each of red dates and longan."

It's reasonable that longan is more expensive than red dates.
