20demayo Chapter 16 Buying Grain
Chapter 16 Buying Grain
"I want to buy 100 kilograms of grain." Song Cenyue replied. If he told her that he wanted to buy 300 kilograms of grain, she would definitely be shocked and think she was bragging.
Even very strong adult men can rarely lift 300 kilograms, let alone a delicate-looking little girl like herself.
Her current body is so delicate and frail that if she is told to lift 100 kilograms, others will probably doubt whether she can do it.
She thought of buying 100 kilograms first, putting them in the space, then buying another 100 kilograms, and then another 100 kilograms, and buying 300 kilograms in three times.
It was troublesome to think about it. In fact, after drinking the spiritual spring water, she became very strong, as strong as an ox. It was no problem for her to lift 300 kilograms at a time...
"You want to buy 100 kilograms of grain? Little girl, can you carry it? You can't lift it with your hands and your shoulders can't carry it. I'm afraid you will have a hard time carrying 20 kilograms!" The aunt in front of me really showed a doubtful expression.
"Auntie, don't underestimate me. Although I look weak, I am actually very strong. I can lift a hundred kilograms without any problem." Song Cenyue smiled.
"...It's true that you can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't measure the depth of the sea by its depth." The aunt in front was still suspicious. After looking at her, she still felt that she didn't seem like she could lift a hundred kilograms, but she also felt that there was no need for her to lie to herself, so she curled her lips and smiled.
"Auntie, how much is a pound of grain now? Has the price increased?" Song Cenyue asked about the price of grain.
I remember that the interest rate for a pound of rice was 1.45 cents. I wonder if it has increased.
Food prices are not fixed; sometimes they go up, sometimes they go down.
However, it rarely falls, but often rises. However, at that time, people were poor and prices were low, so the increase was only one or half a cent.
"It didn't go up, it even went down a bit. This month's rice is 1.39 cents per pound. I really want to buy more. This pound is a few pounds less than before. Although it's not much less, the more I buy, the more I get..." The aunt shook her head and sighed, "It's a pity that our family can only buy 150 pounds a month."
I didn't expect the price of rice to drop. Although it didn't drop much, I could save more than 40 yuan by buying 300 kilograms, which is pretty good, Song Cenyue thought to herself.
Song Cenyue chatted with the aunt for a few more words, and before she knew it, it was the aunt's turn. After the aunt bought the food and left, it was Song Cenyue's turn.
Song Cenyue took out her own grain purchase book, as well as the grain purchase book of her scumbag father, wicked stepmother and their entire family, and placed them in front of the staff selling grain in the store.
"There are four people listed in these two grain purchase books, and each person has purchased 25 kilograms."
She thought of using the grain purchase books for the four of them to buy 100 kilograms first, and then using the grain coupons to buy 200 kilograms.
The staff member looked up at Song Cenyue, and a look of amazement flashed in his eyes. She was really beautiful. Then a look of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "You look so fragile, can you lift a hundred kilograms?"
"I can lift it. I just look weak, but I'm actually in good health and very strong." Song Cenyue replied.
The staff member didn't say anything else. He took a pen and ticked the two grain purchase books handed over by Song Cenyue. He ticked the blank spaces for this month behind the names of Song Cenyue, her scumbag father, evil stepmother, and evil stepsister, indicating that the grain for the four of them this month had been purchased.
After checking the box, the staff member said, "Rice is now 13.9 yuan per pound, so 100 pounds of rice is 13.9 yuan."
Song Cenyue immediately took out a handful of money, counted out a big unity bill, counted out three one-yuan bills, and then counted out nine one-cent bills and handed them to the staff.
The staff counted the money and found that there was no problem with it. Then they called to the person in charge of weighing the grain, "Weigh one hundred kilograms."
"Bring the things that hold the grain to weigh." The person in charge of weighing the grain called out to Song Cenyue.
Song Cenyue hurriedly took the things containing the grain to the person who was weighing the grain, and the person quickly weighed out 100 kilograms of rice for her.
"Thank you." Song Cenyue thanked politely and left with the food.
Song Cenyue walked away, found a deserted place and entered the space. Suddenly she felt a little thirsty, so she went to the spiritual spring and put down the food. When she put it down, she accidentally dropped two grains of rice and they fell to the ground.
She thought that there were only two grains of rice, so she didn't pick them up. She reached out to drink the spiritual spring water. Because she was using her hands to drink it, there were gaps between her fingers, and the spiritual spring water leaked out from the gaps and dripped onto the rice grains that had just fallen on the ground. A magical thing happened...
