Chapter 37 Purchase
"Okay, girl, then you can walk slowly. Come to my place next time, I'll give you a discount!"
"it is good."
Zhao Yuner carried the basket on her back, went out of the grocery store, and went to other places to look around to see if there was anything else she wanted to buy.
This is the first time I have been to such a place, and I have only seen it on TV before, but now that I am there, it feels very novel. Look east, look west.
I didn't eat breakfast, plus I walked a lot, caught a thief, and now I'm carrying something on my back, I feel like I'm exhausted. Arriving in front of a snack stand, Zhao Yuner was going to buy something to fill her stomach.
"Boss, how do you sell this bun?" Zhao Yuner asked.
The boss smiled and said, "Girl, this dish is two buns per penny, and the meat buns are one penny."
Zhao Yuner nodded. Converting it, it's almost the same as what it sold in the 21st century.
So he greeted the owner of the steamed buns shop, "Boss, please bring me two vegetable buns and six buns."
"Okay~" The boss replied with a smile, then took a piece of butter paper to wrap several buns together, and handed them to Zhao Yuner. "Girl, this is the bun you want, take it."
When Zhao Yuner took it over, she handed over seven coins by the way.
She can eat two vegetable buns by herself, and the meat buns are bought for Doudou and her two younger brothers.
In ancient times, the opportunity to eat meat is very rare, and it may not be possible to eat meat once in a few months. For those with poor family conditions, it is basically only eaten during the Chinese New Year. So meat buns, in the countryside, are definitely a luxury.
After eating the two vegetable buns, Zhao Yuner was finally not very hungry.
Then went to the market and bought some pork. The pork was fifteen cents a pound, and Zhao Yuner asked for a pound, plus some big bones.
The ancient and modern times are different. Modern people buy big bones and boil big bone soup to nourish their bodies, but ancient people like to buy pork. There is a lot of lard in it, and they prefer the greasy feeling.
In this way, there is neither oil or water on the big bones nor much meat, and the price is only three cents per pound.
When I was walking back, I passed by a shop with various snacks and pastries looking very delicate and beautiful, with a faint fragrance.
Before she came out, Zhao Yuner promised to bring some good food to the children, so it would be good to buy these snacks back home.
After entering the store and asking about it, Zhao Yuner found out that the price of these snacks and cakes in this era is much higher than the price of other things.
Under normal circumstances, only the big or well-off families in the city can afford it.
A good box of cakes costs a few taels of silver, and almost a few hundred dollars.
After walking around, Zhao Yuner bought some candy. Children like to eat candy, and the price of this candy is within her acceptable range. For twenty-five cents a pound, Zhao Yuner asked the store to wrap a pound in butter paper and take it home.
Everything was bought, and when I returned to Father Hu, few people came.
Father Hu smiled kindly at Zhao Yuner, "Girl, are you selling this stuff so fast?"
"yes!"
"You have a bag full of you, but you bought a lot of things!"
"Selled things, exchanged some money, and bought some food to go back."
