Reborn 99 Days Later, Becoming a Landlady and Getting into Tsinghua and Peking Universities

You look at me, I look at you.

"Will peas be going to go down in price?"

"Judging from the look, it's probably pretty close."

Hua An Yan noticed this, and under the villagers' expectant gazes, he cautiously said:

"Pears and peas are indeed 11 cents... how about we lower the price a bit?"

Even a penny will do!

"If all else fails, nine points will do."

Hua Lichu smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just one cent."

She had already discussed this issue with her grandfather and sister.

To be honest, the recipe for jelly noodles hasn't been figured out yet, which is quite unexpected for her.

As expected, once the recipe for jelly is figured out, people will start buying up large quantities of peas, and even maliciously inflate the price.

At that time, let alone 8 cents, there will probably be plenty of people willing to pay 12 cents to buy peas.

The purchase price of 11 cents per kilogram was a price she set after careful consideration.

If they eat meat, the villagers must at least have some meat broth, right?

This business can only last if everyone can make money.

Because of this incident, the villagers will be more considerate of her grandfather.

Otherwise, once the two girls go to school in the city, Grandpa will be quite worried about being alone in the village.

Hua Heqiu, who had already been persuaded by Hua Yuansheng, rolled his eyes twice upon hearing this.

Li Liangping instantly understood and was already calculating in his mind how many peas his family had harvested last year.

Hua Lichu's words relieved the villagers.

After letting out a long sigh of relief, everyone took the initiative to speak:

"Here are three extra pounds of pears, please accept them."

“I weighed it at home, and it's 52 jin in total. Just calculate it as 50 jin for me.”

Before Hua Lichu could refuse, Hua Heqiu readily agreed.

Seeing the two sisters staring at her, Hua and Qiu touched their faces and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"

Before the two sisters could speak, Hua and Qiu went straight to the villager at the front.

In what he thought was the quietest voice, he asked, "How many cents did you pay for these peas?"

"What? Nine cents? You're losing out! You can get it for eight cents! You're not good enough!"

Every man is afraid of being told he can't do it!

The man got anxious: "People from several surrounding villages know we're buying peas. I'm buying too few, so I can't lower the price."

"Didn't you know to partner with someone? What a loss! 30 jin, you only make 2 cents per jin, and you only made 6 cents today! My God, this can be traded, it can be traded..."

Hua and Qiu counted on their fingers: "One times eight is eight, two times eight is sixteen..."

The Li Xiangwen brothers, who had somehow squeezed in, tugged at Hua and Qiu's clothes.

"Mom, we can exchange this for more than seven eggs!"

Then, Hua and Qiu's family, all five of them, stood there.

Almost as soon as the Hua'an peaches were weighed, the five people quickly reached out and started counting on their fingers.

"One times eight is eight, two times eight is sixteen... more than fifteen eggs! You've struck it rich, your family has struck it rich, you earned fifteen eggs in just half an afternoon!"

Li Xiangxue, whose arithmetic skills were clearly not as good as others and who was always a step behind in calculating, was sweating profusely with anxiety.

The Li brothers tallied up all the eggs everyone had earned, their eyes gleaming with excitement: "7 + 9 + ... + 15 + ... = more than one hundred and fifty eggs!"

Hua Antao: (=w=；)

Hua Lichu: I can tell from their eyes that this family uses eggs as their unit of measurement.

After harvesting the peas, Hua Antao quickly cooked a meal.

Looking at her aunt's family, whose heads were big and bodies were small, she silently took out some chilled meat from the well, intending to make braised pork.

I also stir-fried loofah with eggs, made cucumber salad, and made glass noodle soup.

While the vegetables were being cooked, the adults outside helped Hua Lichu prepare the freshly harvested peas.

The youngest, Li Xiangxue, sneaked in.

Without saying a word, he puffed out his cheeks and helped watch the fire, occasionally making a slurping sound.

Hua Antao felt a pang of sadness.

As soon as the braised pork was cooked, she scooped out three pieces with a bowl and waved to her little cousin: "Can I ask you for a favor?"

"What?" Li Xiangxue asked in a soft, insincere voice.

"My sister would like you to taste it for her, is that alright?"

Help? Isn't it because he likes good food?

Li Xiangxue puffed out his chest, patted it, and solemnly declared, "I can do it!"

Seeing that there were three pieces of meat in the bowl, the little guy didn't eat them all by himself.

"Sister, can my brothers try it too?"

"Of course!"

This was the first time the three brothers had eaten braised pork.

Just as the three of them were completely absorbed in the taste of braised pork, Hua and Qiu saw it.

Afraid of being scolded by their mother, the three brothers quickly said, "It's not that we like it, it's that our eldest cousin asked us to help out so we could try it."

Hua and Qiu peeked out and, wow, the bowl was as clean as if it had been washed.

"You ate so cleanly? What's our family tradition?" she said irritably.

"We share happiness and difficulties together!"

The three brothers lowered their heads in shame.

"You three young masters can have a piece later!"

"Good~"

You three worthless bastards!

Hua Lichu, who witnessed this scene: o((⊙﹏⊙))o

So, that's what her aunt was like.

As soon as the dishes were served, Hua and Qiu saw that there was meat and eggs on the table, and they gasped for breath, clutching their chests.

"We're eating too well! We should just eat coarse grain buns. Why are we eating so well?"

Hua Yuansheng felt a pang of unease when he saw Li Liangping and his three sons nodding in unison, their expressions of approval clearly conveying their approval.

Hua Lichu smiled and said, "After we finish eating, we're going to set up our stall in the county town. We also have to stay up late tonight making cold noodles. We can't stay up without eating well!"

"Then you should eat better."

Then, Hua and Qiu stretched out their clean chopsticks and quickly put a piece of braised pork on everyone's plate except for the three Li Xiangwen brothers.

"What are you looking at? We share the good times and the bad. We don't do that old-fashioned thing where the older ones give way to the younger ones in our family! You three just ate a piece, and now we're going to have another piece. Any objections?"

"No~"

Hua Yuansheng covered his eyes in exasperation at this.

Yes, that awful feeling is back again!

Never mind, children and grandchildren have their own blessings; out of sight, out of mind.

"Oh my god, this meat is so delicious! This must cost several cents, right? I can trade it, I can trade it, eighteen..."

"Shut up!"

Hua Yuansheng, who had just comforted himself by saying "out of sight, out of mind," could no longer bear it and said.

Hua Antao and Hua Lichu exchanged a glance and burst into laughter.

At the same time, my doubts deepened.

My aunt and my grandfather had a good relationship, so why did she marry someone from so far away?

Also, judging from her aunt's personality, which is completely devoid of gentleness, she doesn't seem to be mistreated by her in-laws. How come she's so thin?
