Chapter 142 Can you afford it?
"Twenty pounds." Gu Yundong repeated it, not knowing what they were trying to do with this expression.
The shopkeeper's brows furrowed, "Girl, are you here to make trouble, twenty pounds? Do you know how much money it costs?"
"How many?"
"Twenty-five cents for a tael of sugar!!" The shopkeeper sneered, "Can you afford it? Twenty pounds for a mouth."
Gu Yundong knew that white sugar and brown sugar were quite expensive, but she bought caramel candies on the street as snacks for two children, and the caramel was a little cheaper.
Before in Xuanhe Fufucheng, when she went to the grocery store to buy oil, salt and rice noodles, she forgot to buy sugar.
I remembered when I went back to Aunt Ke's house to count things. I wanted to buy it at that time. Aunt Ke said that sugar was expensive, and I didn't need much anyway. I had it at home, so let her use the one at home.
Gu Yundong didn't refuse, but the white sugar that Cousin Ke took out wasn't actually pure white sugar, it was just brighter than brown sugar. But she only used it as a condiment when cooking, and it was just a braised pork, and the others were rarely used.
Later, when she arrived at Yongfu Village, she never thought of buying candy, mainly because it was inconvenient. I forgot to go to the town and county a few times, so when I used sugar, I could only take it from the space when Dong was not paying attention.
Fortunately, Mrs. Dong did not know what she had brought with her when she came from Fucheng, and she was not as keen as Aunt Ke.
I came here specially to buy it today. I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to buy 20 pounds of white sugar.
And...so expensive.
But after hearing what the shopkeeper said, Gu Yundong wasn't happy anymore, "You don't care if I can afford it, do you have any in your grocery store? I can't go elsewhere to buy it."
The shopkeeper snorted coldly and asked the man to go to the warehouse at the back to get it, and he walked to the counter and played the abacus, "One tael and twenty-five cents, twenty pounds costs eight taels of silver, girl, you have enough money. Yet?"
"enough."
Gu Yundong didn't want to say more, but the other customers who were in the shop watched her and started talking quietly.
"This girl has a big voice. She actually wants to buy 20 catties of white sugar, which is really worth it."
"Don't be pretentious, you look at the clothes on her body, it looks like she is from the country, and it is not bad to have eight pennies on her body, and eight taels of silver."
"Let's see what you say later."
So the few people who had bought the good things didn't leave, they just looked at Gu Yundong.
Shao Qingyuan stood at the door and didn't go in, not knowing what was going on inside. Just to see that Gu Yundong hadn't come out for a long time, he turned his head to look inside, and when she saw that she was all right, she turned around again.
The guy over there quickly brought out a big bag of white sugar and put it in front of Gu Yundong, with an arrogant attitude, "Here, we're all here, do you want to put it on a scale?"
Gu Yundong opened the bag and glanced down, his expression suddenly complicated.
This... is also considered white sugar?
"The shopkeeper, what I want is the very white white sugar, like Baiyun, is this too dark?"
The shopkeeper abruptly came out from behind the counter, put the bag together and put it behind him, "What are you talking about, you need very white sugar, tell you, this is our best. What the **** are you doing? Buy it or not? Give it to me if you don't buy it."
His spit is about to spit out, "You see that our shop is doing well, and you are sincere to make trouble. I will say it, you are so poor and you want to buy 20 catties of white sugar without seeing the world. If you have the ability, you can find white sugar like Baiyun for me, and if you find it, I will buy it back at ten times the price."
After ?? finished speaking, he came to push Gu Yundong, Shao Qingyuan stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and looked at him coldly.
Gu Yundong was also annoyed, "You haven't seen the world, so I'll make one for you to see, then don't forget what you said."
Liu Wei heard her last words as soon as she came.
