Regardless of Pei Shanshan's expression, Jiang Ran put the pot in her basket and went to look at the bowls and chopsticks.
Jiang Ran had already made up her mind. She would sell buns and porridge in the morning, noodles and rice at noon, steamed dumplings, pancakes, scallion pancakes, and rice wine for drinking. She could also add plumeria or poached eggs to the wine.
In this way, there would be business all day long, but it would be a bit tiring.
In the morning, they would have to go to the county before dawn and return home after dark.
But who told them to be poor now!
They were already poor, so if they were still afraid of being tired, they could only stay poor.
Jiang Ran didn't want to stay poor, so she wasn't afraid of being tired.
She definitely couldn't do it by herself, so she needed at least two helpers.
As for who these two helpers would be, she had already thought about it. It was Pei Shanshan and Pei Yang.
Whether or not Pei Shanshan and Pei Yang would disagree, Jiang Ran didn't even consider this possibility.
If they didn't agree, she could only threaten them with force.
But Jiang Ran felt that they wouldn't disagree.
They might have the heart, but they definitely didn't have the guts.
The Pei Family had food, but it was mostly coarse grain. There were only a few fine grains that were occasionally eaten by the original owner and Pei Jing.
If she wanted to use it to do business, not to mention anything else, just the quantity was far from enough.
So after buying the bowls and chopsticks, Jiang Ran went to the grain store.
She needed to buy white rice and white flour. One bag of each was 100 pounds.
After buying these, she went to buy oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, star anise, white sugar, and rice wine.
Meat also needed to be bought. After buying a large piece of fat and lean pork belly, they could go home.
There were too many things to buy. With only Jiang Ran and Pei Shanshan, they couldn't carry it all back.
But there were ox carts going to various villages outside the county. They could spend 50 cents to take the ox cart back.
The ox cart would send them to their door, saving time and effort.
After sitting in the ox cart, Jiang Ran finally let out a sigh of relief.
Previously, he had been holding his breath, and he had been relying on this breath to hold on.
Now that he had exhaled, he couldn't muster up any strength.
Jiang Ran leaned against the bag of rice and slowly closed his eyes.
Although he was very tired, Jiang Ran didn't sleep on someone else's ox-cart. He just closed his eyes and rested.
Jiang Ran closed her eyes, so she didn't know that Pei Shanshan and Pei Jing were staring at her without blinking.
At this time, Pei Shanshan only had one sentence in her mind: Jiang Ran is crazy!
He bought so many things and spent so much money. Wasn't he crazy?
Two iron pots cost 40 RMB, a bag of rice cost 15 RMB, and a bag of white flour cost 15 RMB.
Just these three items added up to a total of 70 yuan.
Together with some bowls, chopsticks, and various condiments, it added up to 20 yuan.
There was also that big piece of fat and lean pork belly. One catty was 4.50 RMB. Ten catties was 4.50 RMB.
In addition to the meal they ate, it was 1.90 RMB. So in total, Jiang Ran spent a total of 96 yuan and 40 RMB in half an afternoon.
