"Hey girl, today you're the one sending the mushrooms." After seeing off Wen Xuan, Liang Tian Tian directly went to Old Man Han's mountain goods store.
"Busy at home, didn't go out." Liang Tian Tian liked this down-to-earth old man and smiled.
"Probably busy picking mushrooms and didn't leave." Mr. Han stroked his beard with a smile. These days, the children from that family almost came over every day to deliver mushrooms, he had long heard about their circumstances, so he took good care of them. He was even more impressed by the resilience of these little kids. Not every 7 or 8 year old child can be self-sufficient like this.
Liáng Tián didn't say anything either. He just smiled.
Mushrooms are still hazelnuts, recently they have been picking this, but they haven't picked less.
The young shopkeeper warmly welcomed him and immediately shouted "Seven catties eight taels."
Mr. Han gave the silver to Liang Tiantian, "Girl, this silver is almost enough for you to spend the winter, don't be too frugal, it's getting cold soon, and you should also prepare some clothes, shoes and socks." Mr. Han noticed Liang Tiantian's broken shoes and kindly reminded her.
"Thank you, Old Man Han. I know now." For the time being, there's no need to worry about these things, the weather hasn't gotten cold enough to be unbearable yet, but Liang Tian Tian felt that it was time for their family to stock up on rice, flour and oil.
It just so happened that she came out today and went to several stalls separately, purchasing some rice, flour, oil and other items, and secretly stuffed them into the space when no one was around.
Thinking that making cotton-padded clothes is not a one-day thing, Liang Tian Tian gritted her teeth and bought more cotton and fabric to make a set of cotton-padded clothes for each of the children at home.
However, Liang Tiantian can't do things like embroidery or making clothes, so she's still going to bother Aunt Huahua.
Chrysanthemum aunt also wants to make a living and earn money, can't just let others work for nothing.
Liáng Tián tián thought for a moment and then pulled out another piece of cotton cloth to give to Aunt Chrysanthemum. It could be made into clothes or socks, anything would do.
After buying these things, Liang Tian's silver suddenly decreased. More than one or two taels of silver, except for the one tael of silver given to Wen Xuan, she spent six taels of silver today. The remaining silver in her hand was not even half a tael.
Money is not enough, it seems like I still have to think of a way.
Alas.
Liáng Tián tiào qì, kōng jiān lǐ de chǎn chū tài màn le, rú guǒ néng gòu xiē jiù hǎo le.
English Translation:
Liang Tian sighed, the output in space is too slow, it would be better if it could be faster.
Although the money is not much, Liang Tian also did not plan to save money in his mouth.
She had just sent off Wenxuan, that jinx, and Liang Tiantian was planning not to go into town for a while. So she went to the butcher's shop again and bought ten kilograms of pork in one go, which made the boss stare at her unblinkingly.
"Little girl, it's not me saying this, but don't look at the cheap price of the pork butt, the most delicious one is still the waist meat." The waist meat has more fat and is more expensive. Generally, ordinary families can't afford to buy meat, and even if they do, they will definitely choose the fattier ones, which makes the stew more flavorful.
Liáng Tián didn't think that way, she knew that the lean meat was precious. Every time she bought such cheap lean meat, she had a feeling of getting a good deal. Of course, she wasn't buying it just because it was cheap.
"Uncle, our family members all love to eat lean meat, so just give us the leaner cuts. The less fatty meat the better."
The butcher uncle shook his head and sighed, saying she didn't know how to live her life.
"Uncle, how much are these big bones?" Liang Tian Tian pointed at those pig bones again. This stew is not only delicious but also rich in calcium, where can you find such natural and big bones?
"This is cheap, two cents a catty." The big bones have little meat, and few people buy this. The butcher uncle was very enthusiastic, "Little girl, you bought so much meat, I'll give you a few pieces to take back and eat."
Liáng Tián tián smiled, "Then thank you, uncle. But I want to buy a few more pieces, uncle, look at these big bones, I've already packaged them, can't they be cheaper?" Liáng Tián tián saw that there were still six or seven pieces left and wanted to buy them all back.
The butcher uncle sighed that Liang Tian Tian didn't know how to live a good life, but since business was at his doorstep, he had no reason to refuse.
"Alright, three cents for two catties, I'll weigh it out for you?" Few people buy big bones, and the butcher usually gives them away as change to customers. The meat on top has already been scraped off, so there's nothing left to eat.
Liáng Tián tián made a difficult expression, "Uncle, this big bone is still so expensive, there's hardly any meat on it. How about you sell it to me for one cent per catty?" The butcher uncle was very embarrassed, Liáng Tián tián quickly said "Uncle, look, I've already bought so much meat from you, in the future I'll come to your house to buy meat, just consider it as bringing in a regular customer."
The little girl's mouth was sweet and pitiful, so the butcher uncle thought that he hadn't lost out and agreed.
He weighed the bones for her and said, "That little girl has made a deal with me. From now on, come to my place to buy meat."
Li Ang nodded hastily and said "That's right, Uncle, you can rest assured, with a good person like you, business will definitely be booming." Who doesn't know how to flatter?
When I finally paid the money, it was a total of one hundred and eighty-four cents. The butcher uncle voluntarily wiped out those four cents.
Li Ang was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
She politely declined the butcher's kind intention of sending her to find someone, and left with the meat packed in a bamboo basket.
Walking on the way home, Liang Tian Tian wanted to cry but had no tears.
Good fellow, the little money I had left only three coins. Fortunately, she has prepared enough food for winter, and even bought a lot of pork at once.
The food stored in the space won't go bad, Liang Tian Tian didn't prepare and took everything out at once, lest those people on the upper floor have ill intentions and take them away again.
Back in the village, Liang Tian Tian first went to pick up Qiu Qiu, then handed over the cotton cloth and cotton wool she had bought to Aunt Chrysanthemum, apologetically saying "Auntie, I don't know how to make clothes, and at home there's no elderly person, so my siblings' and my clothes can only trouble you. This piece of cotton cloth is for thanking you, Auntie."
The aunt was still smiling just a moment ago, but when she saw that piece of cotton cloth, she became unhappy.
"Tiantian, you're treating your aunt like an outsider." Chrysanthemum Aunt sighed and said, "Aunt knows that you guys have made a lot of money from picking mushrooms, but that silver didn't come out of thin air. There's only so many mushrooms, and you should be frugal with your spending. Your aunt made these clothes for you, hurry up and take this cotton fabric back."
Old Mrs. Chen also said "These days I haven't eaten less of your food, helping you make two pieces of clothing is also what should be done." She refused to accept no matter what.
The things sent out, Liang Tian didn't think of taking them back.
"Auntie, don't be polite, if you don't accept it, I won't dare to trouble you next time. The ready-made clothes in the town are expensive, Auntie, if you don't accept it, that's forcing me to go and have my clothes made elsewhere."
Liáng Tián tián said pitifully, but in the end, he still let Chrysanthemum Aunt take the things.
Li Liang and Tian Tian took the balls and left.
Old Mrs. Chen said to Chrysanthemum Aunt, "Don't look at this child's young age, but she is a strong-willed one. Like her mother, she is gentle outside and firm inside. These four children of the Liang family, I think they won't go wrong."
"Mother, you are really blind in the eyes but not in the heart, like a clear mirror." Chrysanthemum Aunt patted the old man's hand. "Mother, I'll also do more chores and earn more money to cure your eyes soon."
"Alas, what's the use of all this? We're already at an old age." Grandma Chen's eyes were red from crying for her son, she had long given up hope.
