"Exactly! Raw pork is already 40 cents a pound, I might as well just buy the cooked pork!"
Wan Shu didn't make a lot of offal and crayfish yesterday. There were only 20 jin of offal, but in no time, the wooden buckets of offal and crayfish were sold out.
Twenty catties of pig offal, forty coins per catty, and they earned a total of 800 coins today.
The five little boys stared at the full basket of copper coins, hardly believing their eyes.
"We made so much money in such a short time??"
"Did this money just grow legs and fly in?"
"Earning 800 coins a day, that's 8,000 coins in ten days, and 8,000 coins is 8 taels of silver! Earning 8 taels in ten days, we're on the path to riches!"
Wan Shu chuckled and poked their heads: "Why do you only look at the profits and not the costs? Today's offal is from our own wild boar, and the crayfish were given to us by the uncles and aunts in the village, so the cost is low. After deducting the cost of seasonings and oil, the net profit is about 600 wen."
