Chapter 45 Buying Rice
Mu Yichen, too, devoured his food. He ate several bowls in a row. Uncle Dongzi put down his chopsticks after only one bowl of rice, which made Mu Sixi feel embarrassed. It's more than an adult man, hey, but there's no way, who made her hungry.

After eating and paying the bill, it only cost [-] copper coins for a meal. Sure enough, the place brought by Uncle Dongzi can save money and still have a full meal.

He took out the broken silver and handed it to Xiao Er, asking him to exchange the silver. Mu Sixi continued to order another pot of tea, poured a cup for Uncle Dong Zi and Mu Yichen, and Mu Sixi also poured a cup and drank it. .

At this time, Xiao Er also found some money and came back, "Guest officer, this is 9 Wen for you, take it away, and call me again if you need it," Xiao Er said to them politely.

Mu Sixi smiled, "Thank you, little brother, go ahead and call if you need anything."

Xiao Er nodded and went to greet the guests at other tables with a rag.

Mu Sixi took a sip of tea and said to Mu Yichen, "Brother, let's go out and do some shopping, Uncle Dongzi, just drink tea and wait for us here."

Uncle Dongzi nodded in response: "Go, I'll rest here for a while, and just come here to find me when you buy something."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Dongzi."

Thanks to Uncle Dongzi, Mu Sixi and Mu Yichen got up, came to the front, and told the second brother to serve Uncle Dongzi another plate of melon seeds to pass the time, settle the bill, 20 Wen, and asked the second brother Where is the vegetable market, the brother and sister went out of the restaurant together.

Walking in the direction that the second brother said, I came to the largest vegetable market in Liu County "Tongling Street". After crossing the arch bridge, I saw a street with people coming and going. There were sellers of meat, rice, and rouge. There is an endless stream of gouache and yelling.

It was the first time for the brothers and sisters to come to such a bustling and bustling place, so they couldn't help being a little cautious, not knowing which way to go.

Fortunately, Mu Sixi is the soul of the modern age, he let go after a little dazed, and dragged Mu Yichen to wander here and there.

After strolling around for a while, Mu Sixi realized that he came here to do business, so he dragged Mu Yichen to the place where grain and oil were sold.

I saw someone unloading in front of me before. It looked like rice or something, so there should be a grain farm in front of me.

When the brothers and sisters came there, they saw the big characters of Dahe Store on the door plaque, and several workers outside were moving goods back and forth. It seemed that this should be the largest grain farm in Liu County.

When Mu Sixi and Mu Yichen came to the door, the boss inside was explaining which ones to put here and which ones to put there. Mu Sixi said, "Boss, what are the prices of your grain?"

After Mu Sixi finished speaking, the boss turned around, looked Mu Sixi and Mu Yichen up and down, and said directly: "Brown rice is at the door, 8 cents a catty, go out and look, don't block the road, this moving It’s polished rice, you won’t be able to pay for it if you spill it.”

The boss yelled at the brothers and sisters unceremoniously, and Mu Sixi was so angry that he wanted to lose his temper immediately. Mu Yichen quickly grabbed Mu Sixi and said, "Xi'er, let's go out and have a look." After speaking, he pulled Mu Sixi out .

When they came to the door, they saw several bags of brown rice in the corner. Mu Sixi frowned when he saw the rice, and said to Mu Yichen, "How can you eat this?"

But Mu Yichen said: "Xi'er, you forgot, we have been eating this kind of rice all the time. Hey, it's good to have something to eat. Let's go, let the boss weigh it."
