BXBX NOVEL Chapter 421: 421 wrong judgment 1
Wang Qi hurriedly said, “Our prices at Sun’s Rice Shop are the most fair, brown rice is five cents, and refined rice is seven cents. Miss Su bought refined rice.”
“What!” Madam Qian Zhang was greatly surprised, “The wife of the Xiao Family bought refined rice?”
“Yes.” Wang Qi nodded.
“How many jin of refined rice did she buy?” Mrs. Qian Zhang looked at the two carts, “The rest are brown rice, right?”
Wang Qi was a bit annoyed by this sour and shrew-like woman, “She didn’t buy any brown rice. She bought six hundred jin of refined rice, one hundred jin of flour, fifty jin of oil, and thirty jin of salt.”
Liu Yuan added, “And twenty bowls.”
The dozen or so villagers who came to watch were stunned.
You should know that even the poorest families in the village have some fields, but the Xiao family doesn’t.
The Xiao family, who were already the poorest in the village, suddenly had money to buy so many things, which would make anyone jealous.
Aunt Wang Qi spoke with envy, “The wife of the Xiao Family has really made progress, buying so many things all at once. And she only bought refined rice. It’s a pity the Old Lady of the Zhu family didn’t come, she would have been really upset.”
Liu Yuan opened the bag of rice, ‘Miss Su, please check the quality of the rice.”
Su Qingyue glanced at the white rice, touched it with her hand, and gave a slight nod, indicating her approval of the quality. It was just the most common rice that modern people eat.
It has nothing to do with being refined.
However, brown rice is broken and has husks, this rice is considered very good at the current time.
Meat only costs eleven cents per jin, but refined rice costs seven cents. Compared to the price of meat, it’s quite expensive. Because at this time, the yield of rice is very low.
She also knows that some families in the village only eat brown rice. Families like Aunt Zhang’s, who are in better conditions, would eat refined rice.
However, if they have their own fields, poor families would also eat refined rice they grow for a while, and then mix it with brown rice after the refined rice runs out.
Although Sun’s Rice Shop looks very big, Su Qingyue doesn’t mind the trouble and checks every bag of grain she bought. Anyvvay, she has plenty of time, money is hard to earn, in case they mix refined rice with brown rice, or the goods don’t match, it would be a trouble.
It’s better to be careful.
“This is really good rice.” Aunt Wang Qi from the village praised, “The rice my family produces is not that fine, it has a lot of husks mixed in, there is a difference in purchasing from the town…”
Liu Yuan is an experienced waiter; he knows how to do business, “Aunt, if you want to buy rice in the future, just come to Sun’s Rice Shop, our shopkeeper’s
price is very reasonable.”
“No money, no money…” Wang Qi shook her hands, “Our family’s food is just enough to eat. What should we buy?”
Liu Yuan just smiled, “It’s okay not to buy.”
Aunt Wang Qi looked at the young Liu Yuan and asked, “Young man, are you from the town? Have you gotten married yet?”
“I’m married. My child is already several years old,” he replied. “What a pity.” Wang Qi said, “I have a daughter who is still unmarried.”
He pointed to the other waiter, “Wang Qi is not married yet.”
Aunt Qi also looked at the other waiter, “What did you say his name was?”
Wang Qi took the initiative to say, “Aunt, my name is Wang Qi.” This aunt looks about forty or fifty years old, and her daughter can get married. After all, she wouldn’t need to be called Miss now, right?
Aunt Wang Qi slapped her thigh, “How coincidental, villagers all call me Aunt Wang Qi, and you’re also called Wang Qi.”
“We’re poor. We have many siblings in my family, and I’m the seventh. So, I’m called Wang Qi.” He said with a smile.
Aunt Qi initially wanted to consider him for her daughter, but as soon as she heard the word ‘poor’, she lost interest completely..
