The Reborn Wife is Farming

Chapter 8 Food Prices

Chang Butcher's knife was very accurate, with one cut, there was no more and no less than a pound of pork belly. He took the ribs, threaded them with a rope and handed them to Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling looked up at his father, Mu Shi looked at her with a smile, and Mu Yangling smiled and took out a copper plate from his arms to give to Butcher Chang.

Butcher Chang smiled and said: "Okay, now the little lady can be in charge of the house, and Lao Mu gave birth to a good girl."

Mu Shi and You Rongyan straightened their chests, waved to Chang Tuhu and went to the grain shop.

The price of food has risen again. Mu Shi frowned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said to the boss, "I want twenty catties of millet, two stones of rice, sixty catties of white flour and sixty catties of black flour."

The boss frowned slightly, and looked at Mu Shi in surprise.

Mu Shi rubbed his head embarrassedly and smiled, "My family doesn't grow food, and it all depends on buying it from outside. If I make some money today, I will buy more and eat more."

Seeing Mu Shi's simple and honest appearance, the boss nodded and said to the child, "Go get a bag and put it on Master Mu."

A stone of rice weighs 120 catties. Except for millet, rice plus flour is only 360 catties. Mu Shi and Mu Yangling have a large appetite, and this amount of food is enough for their family not to go hungry for three months.

But these costs are quite a lot, even though Mu Shi has chosen rice and white noodles with moderate prices

Medium-sized rice costs one or two or three renminbi per stone, but before it was only one or two renminbi, you must know that it is now the autumn harvest, and it was only one or two renminbi when it was green and yellow, but now it has increased by one renminbi. Think more.

Medium-sized white noodles cost twelve Wen a catty, black noodles cost nine Wen a catty, and millet is the most expensive at eighteen Wen a catty, all of which have increased in price.

Mu Yangling usually pays attention to grain prices, but now he can't help but calm down, knowing that something is wrong.

The waiter at the grain shop packed things for them, and the boss made some calculations, and Mu Yangling had already figured it out in his mind.

"A total of four, two, twenty cents." The owner of the grain shop and Mu Yangling said in unison.

The owner of the grain shop looked at Mu Yangling in surprise. At this time, there are very few people who can calculate accounts, and even fewer people can do mental calculations so quickly.

Mu Shi took out silver to pay, but the two coins and twenty coins were copper coins from Mu Yangling. In this way, the money he earned today would only be four or two hundred and eighty-three coins left. Going to the fifty cash tax paid in the market today, there are only four taels and thirty-three cash left.

Not to mention Mu Yangling, even Mu Shi couldn't help being a little frustrated. Besides, Mu Shi still wanted to buy more food just in case.

Mu Shi didn't let his daughter carry the food out, he was very careful not to let her show her strength among people other than the villagers.

After putting all the things he bought on the trolley and tying them up, Mu Shi said to his silent daughter, "Get in the trolley quickly, Dad will push you back."

Mu Yangling hurriedly climbed onto the trolley, turned his back to his father, and said in a loud voice: "Father, I'm ready, let's go."

"Okay, let's go now." The trolley started steadily.

Mu Yangling tilted his head to look at the stalls on both sides, with some worry in his eyes. This is a border gate, and food is not only affected by natural disasters and seasons, but also affected by wars.

She doesn't know about other places, but according to the old people in the village, this year's grain harvest can be regarded as a bumper harvest. The wheat and rice in the field are gradually ripening, and the village is slowly starting to harvest. It is said that the grain price at this time should be slow It's a slow decline, but at this time the price of food is rising.

Mu Yangling was in a bad mood, but she didn't want to affect Mu Shi, so she could only turn her back to him, trying to pretend that she was happy and relaxed.

Mu Shi was not as worried as Mu Yangling. After all, he had experienced a lot. Although he was worried, he looked away after a while, and the boat went straight to the bridge.

Shu Wanniang stood in front of the door waiting for them to come back, while Xiao Bowen squatted aside and played by himself. When he saw his father pushing his sister back, he immediately threw away the stone in his hand and ran over.

Mu Shi stopped the trolley, and Mu Yangling jumped down, picked up his younger brother and put him on the trolley, smiling, "Sit back for you."

Xiao Bowen was a little out of breath when he ran all the way down, and he didn't resist when he was carried by his sister to the cart with one hand. Instead, he grabbed the grain bag with great interest, and shouted with sparkling eyes: "Go on, go on."

Seeing that his son was happy and happy in his heart, Mu Shi quickened his pace, Xiao Bowen yelled "Oh, oh", and the family arrived at the door after a while.

Shu Wanniang looked at them with crooked eyebrows, and waved to Xiao Bowen, "Come down quickly, don't tire your father."

Mu Yangling lifted his younger brother down, turned around and said with a smile: "Don't worry, mother, it only weighs a few hundred catties, so father will definitely not be tired."

Mu Shi nodded again and again, "It's okay to add a few hundred catties."

Shu Wanniang wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said softly: "I know you are strong, but it's a hot day, walking on the road empty-handed is suffering, why don't you wait for the sun to go down before coming back?"

Mu Shi smiled innocently and said, "Aren't I worried that you and your son are at home?" Mu Shi looked at Shu Wanniang's stomach, "It's been seven months, so be careful."

Shu Wanniang pursed her lips and smiled, "Don't worry, I only walk around the house and don't do heavy work, so what can happen?"

Seeing his parents showing affection there, Mu Yangling walked into the house with a bag of rice in one hand. Xiao Bowen looked at his sister who was almost submerged in the grain bag, and then at his mother who was still wiping his father's sweat, and walked quickly. The short legs followed her sister.

Mu Yangling put the rice on the ground. When he saw his younger brother, he took out a piece of candy from his pocket and stuffed it in his hand. "This is what my sister bought for you. Eat it quickly."

Little Bowen's eyes sparkled, "Where's my sister's?"

Mu Yangling wrinkled his nose and said, "I don't like candy, so you should eat it."

But Xiao Bowen felt that there is no one in this world who doesn't like candy. If my sister doesn't eat it, I must give it to him, so Xiao Bowen unwrapped the candy wrapper very friendly, took a sip, and put it to my sister's mouth, saying: "Sister , you eat quickly, you take a bite, and I take a bite."

Mu Yangling looked at the saliva in the small blog post above, but couldn't stop, shook his head and waved his hands and said, "I don't eat sugar. I heard that eating too much sugar will damage my teeth, so I don't eat it. You can eat it."

Xiao Bowen nodded clearly and said: "By the way, my sister's teeth fell out, is it because I ate too much sugar?" Xiao Bowen hesitated, "Then if I eat sugar, will I lose my teeth like my sister? "

"..." Mu Yangling reiterated solemnly, "I didn't lose my teeth because I ate candy, but because I grew up. When you grow up, you will lose your teeth too."

Little Bowen looked at his sister in horror.

Mu Yangling turned around and went out to continue carrying the remaining grain.

Facing the candy in his hand alone, Xiao Bowen said to himself: "Since I will lose my teeth when I grow up, I should eat more. Anyway, my teeth will fall out..."

Mu Yangling, who had already walked out of the room, just heard: "..."

Mu Yangling moved all the things back to the room. Shu Wanniang had already gone into the kitchen to prepare food for their father and daughter. Mu Shi stood outside the kitchen and said, "Let me do it, your stomach is getting bigger and bigger."

Shu Wanniang laughed and said, "My seven-month-old stomach is still on the ground. I just went into the kitchen. You can go into the main room and sit down. I'll be fine soon."

Mu Yangling and Xiao Bowen nodded again and again, "Yes, Dad, you go into the house quickly, and let mother cook."

Mu Shi patted them on the head, "Don't you just dislike the bad food made by your father? It's good to eat some, and your father and I are not bad at cooking."

It's not bad, but compared with my mother's, it's a sky and a ground.

Mu Yangling and Xiao Bowen slandered.
