It's hard for my elder sister. I rely on the mountains to farm and pay off my debts.

The shopkeeper at this time was also worried about this matter recently.

What Song Zhi said hit the other person's heart directly.

But the shopkeeper is an old hand after all. Although what Song Zhi said is true, if the wheat inventory is not disposed of as soon as possible, the price will definitely be affected when the new wheat comes on the market.

But people won’t admit it right away.

The shopkeeper waved his hand calmly, "No, no, if you lower the price by two cents, I'll be at a huge loss!"

But the other party really wanted a lot, and the shopkeeper was unwilling to give up this big deal.

Now the people in the city all know that the new wheat is about to be harvested, and they no longer buy up old grain in large quantities.

It is obviously impossible to sell all the old grain in the shop before the new grain comes on the market by relying solely on sporadic sales.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I give you half a cent per pound?"

"It seems the shopkeeper is not sincere in doing this business."

Song Zhi stopped bargaining with the shopkeeper and immediately changed her strategy, "Brother, let's go to other shops to ask about the price!" After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

The shopkeeper stamped his feet when he saw her leaving, and rushed forward to stop her with a cry of "Aiya!" "Sir, let's talk it over. I'll make a concession, a concession. How about six coins per pound?"

Normally, she could have bargained with the shopkeeper to lower the price, but since she was in a hurry to go back, she decided to quit while she was ahead.

She pretended to hesitate for a moment before saying, "All right, six coins a pound is fine, but we sisters are going out today and didn't take a carriage. I wonder if the shopkeeper could send someone to help deliver this grain to Xiaohezi Village?"

The shopkeeper was very happy to see that the deal was done, and immediately said that it was no problem, saying that donkey carts were definitely indispensable for grain trading.

Later he would let his son drive Song Zhi and the others for a trip.

The shopkeeper weighed the wheat in front of several people. After loading it onto the truck, Song Zhi paid most of the money first, and agreed to pay the remaining one or two taels of silver after it was delivered home.

In this way, the sisters took a ride back home on the delivery vehicle.

The donkey cart drove all the way to the Song family's door and stopped. The two little ones jumped off first, picked up the rabbit cage and ran home.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who were busy preparing food in the kitchen, heard the noise outside the house and hurried out to check. They saw a donkey cart parked in front of the house.

The grandson was carrying bags of things into the yard.

Seeing so many things, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried over to greet them. Mrs. Wu was the first to ask, "What did you buy? Why are there so many?"

After Song Zhi paid the remaining amount, she turned around and said to the two of them, "There are a lot of people helping out at home now, so I bought some extra food as a backup."

"Oh, kid, you don't have enough time to chew all this! The new wheat will be harvested in a few days..."

Song Zhi explained with a smile, "It's because the new wheat is about to be put on the market, and the old wheat in the shop is cheaper, so I bought a little more. Anyway, the family doesn't have enough food, so I just save it for eating. It's not much."

"Grandma, let's not talk about this for now. I bought a piece of meat and will cut it into shreds and stir-fry it with leeks and cabbage later." After saying that, she handed the meat in her hand to Wu.

Mrs. Wu took the meat and saw her granddaughter holding a pig's head. She asked curiously, "Where is the pig's head in your hand?"

"I won't cook the pig's head today. I'll soak it in clean water later. I'll braise it with seasoning in the evening and make it for dinner tomorrow."

Seeing that her granddaughter had arranged everything, Mrs. Wu didn't ask any more questions and went to the kitchen with the meat.

At this time, Song Cheng and Song Kang were very excited about the little rabbit in Song Huan's hand.

Several little ones gathered in a circle, poking the little rabbit's head and touching its ears. They were very fond of such a cute little animal.

As Song Zhi followed her grandmother to the kitchen, carrying the pig's head, she saw the little ones gathered together and chattering happily, and she couldn't help but smile.

As soon as Song Zhi stepped into the kitchen, she smelled a rich aroma of meat.

She leaned over to the kitchen and couldn't help asking, "Grandma, what are we having for lunch today?"

"Just stewed chicken with soybeans, two stir-fried dishes, and corn porridge on the clay stove!"

When Song Zhi heard there were only three dishes, she subconsciously asked: "Isn't this too little? Isn't it enough to eat?"

Wu Shi, however, said as if it was normal: "Our family's meals already have three meat dishes, which is not bad!"

"In the past, when people in the village helped build houses, they only had one meat dish. Some families only had a few steamed buns and a bowl of sugar water for lunch, but this was also a rare meal."

"You also know that too much is as bad as too little. If our family overdoes it, and exceeds the level of the village banquet, then will everyone follow our example in the future? Sometimes being too prominent is not a good thing!"

Song Zhi suddenly had an epiphany. She prided herself on being cautious. When she entertained the villagers, she only wanted them to come to her house to help her build a house, so she didn't want to be too stingy with the food.

Although her heart was good, she was also inadvertently showing off her wealth.

Song Zhi accepted it humbly and nodded, "Grandma, I know my limits!"
