"Pork offal is inexpensive, only 3 coins per pound."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanwan's eyes lit up. Sure enough, pig offal was cheap in ancient times. The time traveler was right!
A pig's stomach weighs about 3 jin (1.5 catties) and can be bought for only 9 wen (0.9 yuan).
If this were in modern times, it would cost sixty or seventy yuan each. Moreover, even if you had the money, it would be difficult to buy; you would have to pre-order it.
There are also pork kidneys. In modern times, two pork kidneys would cost around thirty yuan, but here, you can buy two for less than three coins.
That's incredibly cheap!
It's like giving her the feeling that she'd be missing out if she didn't buy during a modern annual online bargain-hunting festival.
"Boss, I'll take the whole pig's stomach and kidneys," Jiang Wanwan said boldly, waving her hand.
The butcher was an honest man, and he told her the truth, "Girl, you should be careful when you buy this. Only chefs in restaurants know how to process this stuff, and the offal they cook tastes alright."
"We ordinary people can't handle this. It has a weird taste, I'm afraid you won't like it."
Jiang Jialin also advised, "Wanwan, the boss is right. The offal really doesn't taste good. Why don't we buy something else?"
Jiang Wanwan said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry, I guarantee the offal will taste delicious!"
Jiang Jialin dotes on his daughter, so since she says it's okay, then it's okay.
Even if the cooked offal smells like pig manure, he can just close his eyes and eat it.
The butcher stopped trying to persuade her and efficiently weighed and packed up the meat Jiang Wanwan needed. "Young lady, you're very generous. Here's some extra large intestine for you. That'll make a total of 762 coins."
Jiang Jialin had already counted out the money, and when the butcher announced the amount, he handed it over first.
Jiang Wanwan couldn't help but shower Jiang Jialin with compliments, making the doting father secretly delighted and exclaim that he would earn more money for his daughter in the future.
After buying the meat, Jiang Wanwan asked her adoptive father to take her to buy a rough pottery bowl.
It wasn't that Jiang Wanwan was being fussy, but the bowls at home were all chipped and cracked, so she had to be careful when eating, for fear that the sharp edges of the rough pottery bowls would cut her mouth.
She couldn't afford ceramic bowls and plates, but she could afford coarse earthenware bowls and plates. A large coarse earthenware bowl cost only 2 coins, and a plate cost 3 coins. Jiang Wanwan spent less than 50 coins to buy more than a dozen coarse earthenware bowls and several plates.
The sun was high in the sky; it was already noon.
Before they knew it, the father and daughter had spent the whole morning shopping.
By this time, both of them were carrying large bags and small packages, and they were both hungry and tired, wishing they could sit down and rest right there. They hit it off immediately and found a noodle stall on the street.
"Boss, how much are the noodles?" Jiang Wanwan asked.
The owner said cheerfully, "Noodles without sauce are 5 coins a bowl, and noodles with minced meat sauce are 8 coins a bowl. Which would you like, young lady?"
"Two bowls of minced meat noodles, please!" Jiang Wanwan said readily.
Having been given a second chance at life, and with the risk of being killed by Su Wan'er, I naturally do whatever makes me happy and can't neglect my stomach in the slightest.
After spending half a day shopping with Jiang Wanwan, Jiang Jialin had come to accept the speed at which his daughter spent money.
What could his daughter have done wrong? It's just that he, as her father, is incapable of earning enough money for her to spend.
Soon, the stall owner brought the two of them noodles with minced meat sauce.
Jiang Wanwan was starving, and hurriedly picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, it's so delicious. The noodles are smooth and chewy, much better than the porridge at home! Daddy, you should try some."
Jiang Jialin shook his head and chuckled, "Of course it's delicious."
Seeing his daughter happily eating noodles, he made a vow in his heart once again.
Even if it meant hanging his head from the rafters and pricking his thigh with an awl, even if it meant losing all his hair and becoming bald, he would still study hard and pass the imperial examinations!
