Chapter 383 Purchase New Year Goods

"Fuling Cake, do any pastry shops have it?"

"Yes, sir. Turn right and walk forward. You will see a pastry shop. Our boss often likes to buy Fuling cakes from them."

She nodded: "Thank you, I'll just take a look and call you when I'm done."

"Okay, take your time to read it."

There is a wooden sign on each roasted nut with the price on it.

Li Chunhong said behind her: "I heard that people with coughs can eat Fuling cakes, but they are too expensive and my family can't afford to buy them."

"Aunt Li, Aunt Miao, let's go to the pastry shop later."

"Okay, let's see what to buy first."

There are many varieties and styles of fried chestnuts, fried peanuts, fried almonds, fried broad beans, etc., and the prices vary, some are expensive and some are cheap. Fried broad beans are considered cheap among them, at 42 cents per pound.

"Fried broad beans are so expensive!" Miao Zhaodi whispered, "We can't sell them for much, but it will cost a lot to buy them."

Ji Wenhe replied: "After all, it is fried with fine salt, so the price must be expensive."

I looked up and asked the shop assistant: "Can I try this broad bean?"

He replied: "Yes, if you like any of them, you can try them."

The implication is that if you don’t want to buy it, don’t try it.

Li Chunhong asked: "Wen He, you want to buy it? It's too expensive."

"I want to try it. If it tastes good, I'll weigh some back."

She picked up the one she had taken out from the bowl next to her and took a bite. It was crunchy and tasted good, salty and fragrant. She quite liked the taste.

Pointing at the fried broad beans, he said, "Please weigh half a pound for me."

Next year I’ll see if I can fry it at home.

Turning to look at the two people, "It tastes good. Aunt Miao and Aunt Li, would you like to take some back?"

The two hesitated for a moment, picked up one to taste it, and weighed half a pound to take back.

I also bought some other fried nuts.

I went to the pastry shop and bought Poria cocos cake, rose cake and mung bean cake.

I bought white sugar, brown sugar, black sesame, maltose...

Three people came out of the shop.

Li Chunhong warned: "When you go back later, don't tell anyone that you bought so many things."

"The aunt I know, just like you, bought some fried broad beans and fried peanuts." He carried the basket on his back, "Let's go, let's go outside the town, the others are probably waiting for us."

As they walked out of the town, Ji Wenhe asked, "Why don't we grow peanuts in our village?"

Miao Zhaodi replied: "All the peanuts we planted were eaten by bugs. My family used to plant peanuts, and when we went to dig the peanuts, there were a lot of bugs in the fields."

"Later, people in the village stopped planting peanuts and started planting broad beans. Few people outside the village planted peanuts. Besides, the soil in our village was not good, so the peanuts we planted were too small. No one in the town wanted to buy them."

Although the broad beans grown are also small, they are better than peanuts because there are too many peanut worms.

"What's the matter, do you want to grow peanuts next year?"

"Yes, I have this plan."

But she said that the peanuts had too many worms and were too small, so they were difficult to sell.

Wait for Shen Rongshan to come back and discuss it with him, or we can plant a small plot first to see how it goes.

"I still advise you not to plant peanuts." Li Chunhong glanced at her, "But if you want to plant them, plant a few rows first and water them with more manure. If the peanuts grow big fruits, you can plant them on a large scale."

Ji Wenhe nodded: "Well, let's talk about it next year."

Outside town.

Wang Erfeng and Zhou Xiaoyu finished shopping together and went to where a few people were gathered.

Huang Guihua asked with a smile: "Xiaoyu, Erfeng, what did you buy?"

"I bought a lot of fabric and went back to make a new set of clothes for Shen Liao. I also bought him a pair of shoes for him to wear on his wedding day."

Wait until the marriage is settled before coming to town to buy it.

If you go to Xiong Yaoguang’s butcher shop, the price won’t go up.

Zhou Xiaoyu replied: "I bought some fried peanuts and fried broad beans, two salted eggs, and three taels of meat. I'm going back to make some marinade oil. The oil at home is all used up. I'll buy meat at the end of the year and go to Yuanshan's house to buy it."

She followed him to the town and originally planned to buy some meat to take back. However, Shen Zhanguo asked her to buy some fried peanuts and fried broad beans, but she scolded him.

I don't do any work and don't go to town to make money, but I still want to eat.

Later, her father-in-law couldn't bear it anymore, so he gave her money and asked her to buy some back.

At this time, Zhang Qiu'e and Niu Guilan also came over.

"You came back pretty quickly. It seems you didn't buy anything." Huang Guihua said with a faint smile.

The two nodded.

"My daughter Zhiyan is coming back for gifts before the Chinese New Year. Her father told me not to buy meat, but to buy some stir-fried broad beans. I only bought this one. The other items were too expensive, so I couldn't bear to buy them."

"By the way, I saw your Wang Fei come back a while ago and stayed at home for several days. He looked very unhappy. Did he have a quarrel with his father?"

Zhang Qiu'e sighed, "No, my family is looking for a marriage soon, and we don't have much money, so the child's father asked Zhiyan to help him out a little, because he came back for this matter."

Wang Erfeng secretly rolled her eyes: "Qiu'e, your Zhiyan has a hard time. Her husband's family doesn't have much money. Ask your wife not to ask for too much. They still have to make a living. If you give all to Wangfei, how will they live in the future?"

Niu Guilan knew about this: "Shen Xing asked for three taels, and Zhiyan only gave one tael. Wang Fei has been very kind to his sister since he was young, and he always thinks of her when he has food. As a sister, she should give some money to help."

"That's not right." Zhou Xiaoyu retorted, "If you have money, you can help. If you don't have money, how can you help? Three taels is too much. Zhiyan's betrothal gift was only two taels and eighty cents."

"If his family had money, they wouldn't just give such a small betrothal gift. Now they are asked to take out three taels. Where can they get the money to give to Wang Fei?"

"Qiu'e, one or two ounces is enough. You can't push the child to death. She has a daughter to raise. If you really push the child into a corner and she does something, it will be too late for you to regret it."

Huang Guihua nodded in agreement: "I think one tael is one tael. You have saved a lot of money over the years. Don't you think you can't even take out five taels?"

"What five taels?"

Ji Wenhe and the other two approached and heard them talking about money. Li Chunhong asked curiously.

Wang Erfeng looked at her and said, "We are talking about Zhiyan. Have you bought your things?"

"I've bought it. Yuanshan and Wenshan will be back soon."

As soon as the voice fell, Huang Guihua looked behind them and said, "Here they come."

The two brothers were with Zhu Danian.

When everyone is gathered, get in the car and go back.

When they arrived at the village entrance, Zhu Danian got off the car, and Ji Wenhe followed him out, asking them to go first while she would send them back.

Helping him carry the basket, she walked beside him and asked, "Uncle Da Nian, what did the doctor say?"

"The doctor told me to take good care of myself. You should rest assured now. If I feel uncomfortable anywhere, I will go find a doctor."

"That's good. After seeing the doctor, we are completely relieved."
