Xiao Yishan went out for a short while and returned with two bundles of vegetables and about two jin of beef.
Xiao Yuchuan also came back carrying a load of water. As he poured the water into the tub, he asked, "Second brother, where did you get the beef from?"
"I bought two bundles of vegetables from Aunt Zhang's home, paying four cents. Aunt Zhang bought six jin of beef from the town yesterday, intending to eat it herself. I wanted to buy some, so Aunt Zhang sold me two jin at the original price of 13 cents per jin. I wanted to add two cents, since it's quite a distance from the town. Aunt Zhang insisted on taking only the original price, so it was 26 cents for two jin."
"Aunt Zhang has always been a good person. Besides, wife is weak. It's time to nourish her." Xiao Yuchuan nodded, "Let's fry a jin in the morning."
Actually, Xiao Yishan wanted to celebrate his wife's recovery, so he said, "Let's fry all two jin of beef."
