After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy
Chapter 25: Su Manman is too opinionated
After figuring it out, I realized that one dou of rice in this era is about four jin in modern times.
So she directly bought ten dou of refined rice and five dou of white flour.
As for vegetable oil, which is soybean oil, it is expensive, costing one hundred coins per pound.
Because the weather was getting colder, she was afraid that Baili Zheng would not be able to get used to the food cooked with animal oil, so she endured the pain and bought half a pound.
After that, I left my address and asked the store to deliver it, and then went to Caishi Street.
The so-called vegetable market in Lanxia County is similar to a modern farmers' market.
The place is clearly divided into sections, selling vegetables, meat, chickens and ducks, dogs and cows, etc.
Each area is clearly divided.
Among them, those selling vegetables and meat are at the front.
Su Rongrong arrived late, so there weren't many dishes left, and they weren't as fresh as they were in the morning.
The meat is what's left after people have selected the good ones.
Fortunately, people nowadays like to eat fatty meat.
Therefore, what is left is mostly lean meat and meat with bones.
Among this pile of meat with bones, there are ribs, which cost only a quarter of the fat, only five cents.
Seeing this, Su Rongrong's eyes lit up.
After she was sure that they were ribs and spines, she bought them all.
She had plums, steamed pork with rice flour and potatoes in her space, so she decided to make them in two batches.
Have pork ribs with preserved plums for lunch and steamed pork ribs with rice flour for dinner.
The front ribs are suitable for making the preserved plum spareribs, while the back ribs are suitable for making the steamed spareribs.
It just so happens that all of these are in the pile just now.
As for food for Jinhong, she planned to let him drink more chicken soup.
But her body also needed nourishment, so she boiled the remaining spine and radish together.
Thinking of this, Su Rongrong has made up her mind to try again after returning to the village.
When the time comes, I will buy more and put them in the space, and then I will give them to myself and my two younger brothers and sisters for supplementing.
In Sujia Village, Su Manman had lunch at Taoya's house.
After dinner, she asked Chen Dazhuang: "Uncle Dazhuang, I am planning to take back my land. Do you want to rent it?"
Chen Dazhuang's family was stunned. After hearing this, they looked at each other and replied, "Let's wait until your eldest sister comes back before we discuss this."
Su Manman shook her head and said with a firm look, "No need to ask my elder sister! This land is mine, I can make the decision and rent it to whoever I want.
After the clan returns my family’s land, my eldest sister will have the final say.
Uncle Dazhuang, if you want to rent it, I will rent it to you. As for the rent, what is the market price in our village? I will lower it by 10%."
Taoya didn't expect that she, a ten-year-old girl, would be so opinionated.
He immediately said, "Your eldest sister's land will also be leased to my family next year, and the rent will be 50%."
Su Manman now admires her sister a little, especially after seeing her beating the people from Suda's family until they cried out in pain.
When he heard Tao Ya say that her sister also rented the land to her family, he immediately made the decision.
"Okay, I'll rent it to you for 50%. Anyway, I'm small and don't eat much. The crops from the land alone are enough to feed me every year.
When I get married, I will have two acres of land as a dowry, and my husband’s family won’t dare to look down on me.”
Tao Ya reached out and tapped her forehead: "You are only ten years old, and you are already talking about getting married.
Also, you said that what you have in the field is enough for you to eat and drink. So you mean, you don't care about anything else?
What about your residence, clothes and so on? You don’t have to spend money on these?
Or, should I let your elder sister support you when the time comes?"
Su Manman tried to straighten her back and said, "Sister Taoya, I'm already grown up, you can't poke my forehead, it will make me ugly.
I take care of myself and don't care about other things. What's wrong with that? I live in my own house and don't have to spend any money.
As for clothes, that's easy. My eldest sister always has to make new clothes, and I can just pick up her old clothes and alter them.
Besides, I can make money myself, I can find things to sell in the mountains.
Although it's not much, but if I save up enough, I can buy myself a new set of clothes by the end of the year.
If it’s not enough, I’ll sell some of my uneaten rice and flour, and that’ll make up the difference.”
The more Tao Ya listened, the more outrageous it seemed to her, and she finally pulled her back to her room.
After the door was closed, she pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed and said seriously, "Manman, your idea is wrong.
Since you are going home, you and your eldest sister are one family.
From now on, the person in charge of your family is your eldest sister.
She is the head of the family. No matter whether it is the output from your land or Jinhong's, you have to obey her arrangements.
You can't just think about yourself and ignore everything else.
In that case, what are you going to do when you return? Can't you just live alone?"
Su Manman didn't quite understand what Tao Ya said, so she said, "Sister Tao Ya, you're so weird.
My going home doesn't bother anyone, and I'm not denying that my eldest sister is not the head of the family.
As for everything at home, it's a good idea to follow her arrangements.
But I have to solve my own problems myself.
Since she doesn't have to worry about me, she doesn't have to arrange anything else for me, which means I don't have to worry about anything, right?
I'm just sharing her burden and letting her not worry about me. What's wrong with that?
As for food, I will give her food every month..."
Tao Ya couldn't help but frown and quickly interrupted her: "Man Man, if you divide it like this, it will be meaningless.
According to what you said, you can cook your own meals and wash your own clothes. If you get sick one day, you can go to the doctor by yourself.
If you can't find a doctor, just bear it yourself. There's no need to go find your eldest sister."
Manman was a little puzzled: "I am taking good care of myself, so you don't have to worry about me, big sister, why is it boring?
Sister Taoya, you are so weird. I have already given you the food rations, why do you want to do it by yourself?
I can wash my clothes myself, but I'm sick, why doesn't my elder sister call a doctor for me?"
Taoya felt very tired talking to a child who was only ten years old but very opinionated.
But for the sake of her good sister, she patiently said, "Let me ask you this, Rongrong and your second brother provide food every month, then will you cook for them?"
In Su Manman's opinion, after she returns home, she only needs to provide food every month and she doesn't have to worry about anything else.
Hearing this, he hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
"Yes! But I am not very good at cooking. If my eldest sister and second brother don't mind, I can cook."
Tao Ya was relieved to hear that she was willing to pay, and continued to ask: "But eating, it's impossible to just eat rice, right? There must be meat and vegetables.
So where does this vegetable come from, and where does the meat come from?"
Su Manman was silent. She thought that after returning home, she would keep all the grain produced from the fields in her own hands and would not give it away.
If you want to eat meat, you can't do it without spending a penny.
We don’t eat meat every day, so it’s okay to buy it occasionally for a few cents. But if we eat vegetables every day, we must grow them ourselves.
If you don't grow vegetables, you can't always ask other people for food.
Since we are growing vegetables, the vegetable garden needs someone to take care of it.
And since we are cooking, we need firewood, so someone has to chop the wood.
