Era: Start as a buyer

Luo Cheng's food is good, and Zhao Qian's family also improved their food today thanks to her. Although rabbits are not fat, they are not small either. They are still meat after all. I took it back and slaughtered it on the spot, then put a lot of radishes in it and stewed it in a big pot.

The lotus leaf bag she brought back was also seen by her mother. Zhao Qian explained that Luo Cheng gave her the fried peanuts as a snack.

Then her mother said, "If you eat such good things as snacks, that kid Luo Cheng won't be able to live, and you won't be able to live either." Today we have rabbit meat stewed with radish and peanuts, which is obviously a good dish to go with wine. Zhao Qian had no choice but to hand over the peanuts, which couldn't be wrapped in lotus leaves anyway.

Accountant Zhao also came back after five o'clock. The chicken cakes he brought to the town's work units basically gave some leaders a little taste and then disappeared.

Zhao Qian is also sensible and knows that the two brothers and their family shared a lotus leaf bag of the chicken cake that Luo Cheng brought in the morning. Dad took it to the workplace, so naturally his parents didn't taste it, and she also ate one at Luo Cheng's house at noon today. So I took out my bag again, and she just kept one.

At night, Luo Cheng didn't go to bed right away today. There were a lot of insects chirping outside. He felt that he didn't perform well today. He was obviously the destined wife, so he should have been bolder. She was only holding her waist. It was hot and Zhao Qian was wearing thin clothes. Why didn't she put her hands under other people's clothes?

The wind felt comfortable and it was getting darker, so Luo Chengcai went into the house to sleep. There were only a few days left, so Luo Cheng lay on the bed and scratched his crotch for a while, then fell asleep peacefully.

‘Pah~pah. ’

When I woke up again, there was still the sound of rain outside the house.

"This weather is going to be bad."

It was raining in the future here last night. Unexpectedly, it was still raining after one night. Why were workers at this construction site paid on a monthly basis in the past, but their wages were still calculated on a daily basis? Even if they were at the construction site, they might not necessarily have work to do every day. Sometimes the construction site is adjusted and there may be a break. Sometimes the weather is bad and construction cannot be carried out, so it is another break. It happens when it rains for several days in a row and takes a few days off.

I went out and looked at the size of the rain. It was neither too heavy nor too light, but a little heavy. Generally, people will continue working in light rain. There were hundreds of hours in the day, and Luo Cheng felt uncomfortable without any work to do. For the time being, he could only go back to his room to play with his phone and wait for notifications.

Fortunately, I bought a second-hand mobile phone. Playing with it in the dormitory at the construction site is not boring. Soon bad news came. Today is a rainy day off. There will be a few people working on the construction site today, but that is indoor work and does not include steel work.

It's okay when I have work to do. I don't feel bad eating more than 20 box lunches a day. Having no work to do, no money to earn, and still having to spend money makes me feel a little unhappy. In his own time, when Luo Cheng was asked to work and farm the land, he would hide whenever he could, and would rather his land be abandoned than farm it. Mainly because I can’t get enough to eat even after planting, and I’m used to the life of foraging for food in the mountains.

But time and space are different now. I am so ambitious that the money I earn from a day's work is enough to live on for a month or two if I only eat rice. In his time, ordinary families could not afford to eat rice every day, so he was very positive about being able to work.

I lay in the dormitory until nine o'clock. The rain outside eased, but it was still raining. Putting his phone in his pocket, Luo Cheng planned to go out for a walk. He went to the pedestrian street yesterday and didn't do any serious shopping.

I asked a coworker to borrow an umbrella and went out. In fact, Xiao Luocheng was not afraid of getting caught in the rain now, but he was afraid that it would rain heavily again later.

When I came to the pedestrian street this morning, there were obviously more people selling vegetables and stalls on both sides of the street than yesterday afternoon. There are also fish sellers. There is a pot of fish in a plastic basin. I don’t know if it is raised or caught in the river. There are not many fish but there are a few mixed species.

Suddenly, Luo Cheng discovered that there were people selling eels and soft-shelled turtles. These things were earthy and fishy, ​​so they might as well eat fish. I asked about the price of the fish, and it turned out that it was sold not by the pound, but by the piece. The smaller ones cost three for ten yuan, and the larger ones cost five yuan.

"Master, why are you selling this eel?"

"The big one here weighs thirty-one pounds, and the small one weighs twenty-five pounds."

"How many?"

"The older one is thirty, the younger one is twenty-five."

Luo Cheng thought he heard wrongly. How could this thing be so expensive? You must know that in the town of his time, when going to the fields to harvest rice, there would be a lot of it. It was too fishy and no one would catch it and eat it. Most of the people I encountered caught them casually, but almost none went there specifically to catch them.

Rural people rarely cook, they cook because there is little oil. If you have fish, you should never eat eel, because although the fish also has a fishy smell, it is not strong, and the fish is still delicious when stewed in soup.

I checked again and found that it was indeed the price. Damn it, if I had caught a dozen pounds and sold it in my own time, I could have treated it as a day's work on a construction site.

"Master, how do you sell this soft-shelled turtle?"

"The small one is thirty, the big one is forty."

Luo Cheng took a deep breath. This turtle still had a shell, and the size seemed to be about the same. The slightly larger one was ten yuan more expensive. And how much is the price of meat in this time and space? Whether it is eel or soft-shelled turtle, one pound will be worth several pounds of meat.

If the price is calculated based on size, the larger the product, the more expensive it will be. So if you get a turtle the size of a washbasin, how should you deal with it?

Luo Cheng has always been confused about the prices of goods in this time and space. The price of some things is very high, and the price of some things is very low. You say money is useless in this era. If you save money, eat rice and cabbage every day, and cook for yourself, you can live a month with more than 100 yuan. But if you don’t care too much, if you simply eat out or something, it will be gone in a day or two, and you don’t dare to think about higher consumption now.

Not to mention the prices of eels and soft-shell turtles, Luo Cheng couldn't understand even the prices of fish. Small fish are more expensive than big fish, so what kind of meat can this small fish have? In particular, he saw an old man getting some small fish for sale, fish the size of a finger. They even sold it for fifteen yuan a pound, saying it was the last bit.

For such small fish, in Luo Cheng's time, rural people raised ducks. They would fish them out of small river ditches in baskets, and they could catch a bucket of fish in half a day. Of course, this was also the season when there were many miscellaneous fish.

But with such a fish, Luo Cheng just thought about who wants this, something to feed the ducks. But as soon as I had this idea, I saw that the remaining fish had been rounded up.

These are all temporary street stalls set up on the street, and there are also shops here that sell fish and shrimp. The prices in the store are marked, silver carp costs four yuan per catty, and silver carp costs six yuan per catty. A full-sized grass carp is also five yuan.

There are also more expensive fish, eight or ten yuan a pound. But this made Luo Cheng at least feel normal. In this era, a pound of rice cost more than two yuan, and this fish was one or two times more expensive than rice. Luo Cheng felt that it was normal, and these were relatively large fish.
