After dinner, Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan went to Lu Dagang's home and bought eight winter melons, weighing two hundred and sixty catties, and also seven catties of dried bamboo shoots, purchasing them at sixty cents per catty, and bean paste at ten cents per catty, taking a total of ten catties.
The total cost was six yuan and fifty cents.
This time, Shen Mianmian paid one yuan and fifty cents, with the remaining five yuan to be delivered tomorrow.
Lu Dagang and Zhang Changchun didn't hesitate at all, they agreed immediately, and were overjoyed to sell for over six yuan, their mouths couldn't close with delight.
The bean paste was made with their own beans, so there was no cost for materials, and the winter melons didn't cost anything to grow; the seeds were from the year before last, and the dried bamboo shoots were made from wild shoots. The cost of these items didn't even amount to fifty cents, yet they sold for six yuan and fifty cents—it was like a pie falling from the sky.
