    Xie Wuji, who was being served by everyone, felt very comfortable. He burped after eating, and then asked: "Did you buy a lot of braised pork and steamed buns again?" This guy is a foodie, and he pays attention to what he eats.  Just a few steamed buns and some braised pork made him miss it.

    "Well, it cost half a tael of silver." Jiang Dashan joked.

    The four of them plus Xiao Lin ate three kilograms of braised pork, two plates of side dishes, more than twenty steamed buns, and drank several pots of decent tea at Fan Boss's place. Before leaving, they packed up thirty steamed buns and  Four pounds of braised pork cost only half a tael of silver.

    "Hey, it's only half a tael of silver. How much can I buy? Have you finished eating?" Xie Wu asked in surprise.

    Half a tael of silver is a very small amount to him. He used to spend one and a half taels on just buying a few packs of snacks on the street.  Although he was born as a slave, he followed Mr. Xie since he was a child, so he was not treated badly in terms of food and clothing.  Because his father is a highly valued steward of the Xie family, and he has a very close relationship with Mr. Xie. He knows that he is delicious, and Mr. Xie often buys it for him with money.  Therefore, he couldn't believe how much half a tael of silver could buy.

    "Also, I haven't finished eating yet. Steamed buns and braised pork are cheap at that small market." Xie Sanbo said.

    "Then why don't you buy more? It's just half a tael of silver, it's too stingy." Xie Wu said.

    Because there is no dough maker, no one in Luwei Village can make steamed buns, and they won¡¯t buy meat to eat when they go out.  It would be nice if everyone could eat a few vegetable pancakes.  Although there is no shortage of food now, the three families in Luwei Village habitually save food because of the inconvenience of going out.

    It¡¯s not easy to have a good meal in normal times, but in the current environment, he can only indulge in braised pork and steamed buns, and he doesn¡¯t even dare to think about anything more advanced.

    "Half a tael of silver is too little. We spent one tael of silver to buy two stones of the thick noodles you drank." Xie Sanbo said.  In fact, he also felt that it was a good deal to get such food for one tael of silver, and it was just a wild boar. In the future, they could get a few more wild boars and exchange them as they wanted.

    They spoke in an understatement, but A Zhi and A Xin were dumbfounded. They were born into poor families. In the past two or three days, they could be said to have lived a luxurious life that they could not even imagine before.  Meat is also added to it, and there are white flour steamed buns to eat, so you will be satisfied every time.

    At first I heard them say one liang, half a liang, but the two of them didn¡¯t feel much.  After all, when they grew up, they had never really seen money, only big money, and even if it was big money, they didn't get much in their hands.  Every penny in the family has to be spent.  But how much do they know about two stones of grain?

    "Two stones of grain can feed their family of four or five for more than half a year, but their family has always only had one meal, which is for the men who work.  Women and children are not qualified to eat dry food. It would be nice to have a bowl of semi-thick vegetable porridge. In winter and during lean times, men have to drink watery vegetable porridge.  Two stones of grain is a big sum in their minds.

    Not to mention that A Zhi and A Xin were very impressed, Xie Wu also shouted in surprise: "One tael of silver, two stones of thick noodles? It's too cheap."

    "No. But when it's done, the price is naturally cheaper. I got these two taels of silver in exchange for a wild boar." Jiang Dashan told him with a smile.

    The half-street market is only that big, and the people coming and going are not just people from several nearby villages. The boss of the food store usually knows the sales volume.  It's just that business has become increasingly difficult during this period, with fewer merchants and caravans coming, which has affected the lives of many people.  With no money in hand, fewer people came to buy food, which caused a backlog of food in his shop.

    In fact, when Jiang Dashan and the others bought it, the boss did give them some discounts because it was rare to see a big customer and he was willing to order so many noodles at one time, and he even gave them some random favors.  Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to buy so many thick noodles at once, and they would definitely buy them with fine grains.

    Most of the thick noodles they bought this time were intended to be eaten by Azhi and his family of four.  Not only do these four people have to rely on everyone to support them now, but they will also have to rely on everyone to support them in the next year or two.  After all, they had no land and no houses, and it was impossible for them to have gold and silver. If they brought them back to Luwei Village, they had to give them something to eat.  So I bought more.

    "Okay, let's get some wild boars another day and bring back more steamed buns and braised pork to eat." Xie Wuda waved his hand, as if the wild boars were waiting for him.  I didn¡¯t care about the two-stone thick noodles at all, I just wanted to eat thin-noodle steamed buns and big chunks of braised pork.  Although wild boar is also delicious, it is not as fat and tender as domestic pork.  If it's really delicious, it's better to raise fattened pigs at home.  Want to eat wild boar?Where's the big lantern?  "

    "That's right. I've seen it too. We're not as discerning as Dalang." Xie Sanbo also said.

    "Hey, it's hard to divide these lanterns when we take them back. There are so many children, but there are only five lanterns." Xie Wu's thoughts were indeed different from everyone else's.

    "That's right, some points are not enough." Jiang Dashan was ashamed, afraid that the children would make a noise.

    Xie Sanbo said: "Just let Dalang divide it. I saw that he got five. I'm afraid he had already thought about it. Amao, Atu, Dabao, Ping'er and small stones are exactly five people. Each person has a lantern."

    "It's okay to divide it this way." Jiang Dashan and Xie Wu said without caring.

    They both coincidentally forgot about Dalang and Xinhu.  In everyone's eyes, Dalang and Xinhu cannot be compared with little kids. Sometimes, everyone even treats them as adults.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
