Chapter 506 I Really Don’t Understand Anything
Wang An licked his lips, sucked his teeth, then nodded and stood up.
No wonder there is no one watching this stall. What kind of family can afford mushrooms at 20 cents per pound?
Although Wang An is not short of money, he is not an idiot!
Seeing Wang An was about to leave, the man couldn't stand it anymore and said quickly:
"Brother, how about 1 cents a pound?"
Wang An paused, then walked away leading the horse without looking back.
After walking more than ten meters, Wang An found the person selling winter mushrooms again. It has to be said that it is the same in any industry. As long as there is money to be made, there will definitely not be only one person doing it.
This time, the person selling winter mushrooms was an old lady, and there was a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old next to her.
Although the weather was warm, the little girl was shivering with cold.
It was because the cotton jacket and cotton pants the little girl wore had many patches and looked very thin, but most importantly, they were very small, exposing her wrists and ankles.
Many people may not understand what it means to expose the wrists and ankles. In fact, it means exposing them without any cover.
Because most people of this generation don’t have underwear, and autumn clothes and long trousers don’t exist.
In other words, many people are naked and wear cotton jackets and trousers without any coats!
It has to be said that Wang An had always dressed like that before he entered junior high school.
Although cotton-padded jackets and trousers can keep you warm, if you don't have any underwear to complement them, the feeling of the cold wind blowing into your body through your ankles and wrists is really uncomfortable!
Wang An stopped Daer Ma again and walked forward to ask:
"Grandma, how much do you sell these winter mushrooms for?"
After Wang An finished speaking, the old lady just smiled at Wang An without saying anything. She only heard the little girl answer:
"Brother, my grandma can't speak and can't hear. These mushrooms are 4 cents a pound."
Wang An was stunned when he heard what the little girl said. It was not because of the price of winter mushrooms, but because he didn't expect that this old lady who looked so good was actually a deaf-mute.
But this is not something Wang An should care about, so Wang An was stunned for a moment and then said:
"How many kilograms of winter mushrooms are there in these two baskets? I want them all."
This time it was the little girl's turn to be stunned. She said in surprise:
"Both, I want both. Then, I'll go borrow a scale."
Wang An nodded and said, "Yes, go ahead."
After Wang An finished speaking, the little girl ran out.
But soon, the little girl came back with a hook scale.
The fresh winter mushrooms were packed in a backpack. Because they were very fluffy, they were not very heavy. After weighing them, the total weight including the backpack was less than 60 kilograms, to be exact, a little over 58 kilograms.
The little girl said, "Brother, take something and let's see how heavy these two baskets are."
Wang An thought for a moment, took out a big unity note, handed it over, and said:
"I don't have much here, so sell me these two baskets, and you can go over there and buy two more."
The girl knew how to count. She handed the money to Wang An and said:
"Brother, every time I take this backpack, each one weighs a little over four and a half pounds. How about you just give me two dollars? I don't have any change."
Looking at the girl's proficiency and speed in calculating accounts, Wang An suddenly felt that this girl would definitely be a good business person in the future.
The price of two backpacks is 6 cents, and 48 pounds of winter mushrooms is about 1.94 yuan, which basically amounts to two yuan. It can be said that no one suffers a loss.
I have to say, this calculation is absolutely reasonable.
Wang An smiled and did not take the money. Instead, he loaded the two baskets onto the carriage and said:
"Then don't look for it, just hurry up and calculate it."
After Wang An finished speaking, he led the carriage away. The little girl might have never experienced such a thing, so she was startled at first, and then hurriedly shouted:
"Brother, where can I find you then?"
Wang An waved his hand without turning his head, and continued to walk forward leading the horse.
The little girl held the money and looked at Wang An's back, not knowing what was going on in her mind.
Wang An discovered that he had been changing since his rebirth. Sometimes Wang An even felt that he was no longer himself.
Because sometimes, some good thoughts will pop up for no reason, and you want to help others from the bottom of your heart.
To be honest, this is an incredible and terrifying thing.
Why is this happening?
Immediately afterwards, Wang An bought a lot of pork, not wild boar meat, but domestic pork. To be precise, it was pork bones, including ribs, spine and leg bones.
The main thing is that the meat has been sold out, leaving only the bones which no one will pay for in this day and age.
In fact, in Wang An's opinion, gnawing bones is much more enjoyable than eating meat.
After buying the bones and 40 buns, Wang An drove the carriage directly to Fang Xiu'e's house.
After opening the gate and driving the carriage directly into the yard and feeding the two horses with hay, Wang An went into the house to cook.
When Wang An had stewed the bones in the pot and was washing the winter mushrooms, Fang Xiu'e came back on a bicycle.
As soon as Fang Xiu'e entered the room, she said:
"Xiao An, are you stewing meat? Why does it smell so good?"
Wang An suddenly realized that he might not be able to eat the bones at noon, because bones could not be cooked in a short time.
So Wang An said with a very obscene smile:
"Yes, it's stewed bones, but this is for you to eat at night. Let's have steamed buns for lunch, and then we can get down to work after that."
To be honest, it might be because he had been drinking deer blood and taking the medicine prescribed by Fang Xiu'e these days. Even though Wang An went to Shen Wei every day in the past two days, he still felt suffocated, very suffocated!
So at this time, Wang An was really getting angry and urgently needed to relieve the heat.
Just when Wang An was thinking about whether to do his work first or eat first.
Fang Xiu'e took out a white coat for work from a cloth pocket and said as she put it on:
"I don't know what's in your head. Does this look good on me?"
Wang An was instantly stunned by Fang Xiu'e's actions.
It does look good, but the point is that you haven't taken off your clothes yet, so why put on the white coat?
Only then did Wang An realize that Fang Xiu'e had misunderstood his meaning before and she didn't understand what he wanted at all!
Therefore, Wang An quickly stopped him and said:
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, why are you wearing it now? Take it off quickly, let's eat first."
Fang Xiu'e blinked when she heard that, her face full of confusion, but she obediently took off her white coat again.
You don’t need to eat vegetables when eating buns, so after the two of them finished their buns, they went into the house without caring about anything else.
When both of them were naked, Wang An pointed at Fang Xiu'e in the white coat and said:
"Now put it on."
Fang Xiu'e was confused again and asked subconsciously:
"Are you crazy? It's so annoying to wear it!"
Wang An patted Fang Xiu'e's snow and said helplessly:
"You really don't understand anything, just do as I say."
