Surprisingly, the Ha clan aunt actually understood Chinese and nodded at Lin Mumu: "Little girl, do you want to eat an apple? It's not ripe yet. Only the Begonia fruit is a little sour. "
"Auntie, I just want to buy some Begonia to eat. My puppy went to pick two of them just now. I'll calculate the price for you later. Can you sell me a few catties more? "Lin Mumu politely asked.
The auntie shook her head. "One kilogram at most."
Xijiang Province did not like to sell things in catties, they liked to sell things in kilograms. One kilogram was at least two catties.
One kilogram was one kilogram. Even if the Crabapple Fruit was small, there would still be quite a few.
Lin Mumu followed her aunt to pick some fruits. The aunt seemed to like Lin Mumu very much, and on the way, she even picked two tomatoes for her to eat.
Aren't tomatoes used for cooking? Lin Mumu had never eaten it raw.
However, she was a little hungry now and felt that everything was delicious. She wiped the tomato with her clothes and took a bite.
"Wow, so sweet! I've never eaten such a sweet tomato before. "Lin Mumu suddenly felt that tomatoes were much more delicious than crabapple fruits!
Yun Ting also dispelled Lin Mumu's doubts: "The Xijiang province has abundant sunshine and a large temperature difference between day and night, so the fruits here are particularly sweet. For example, the honeydew melons and grapes here are much sweeter than those produced in the mainland.
Tomatoes are in between a vegetable and a fruit. They can also accumulate sugars, so they will be sweeter than the ones you ate before. "
"Do you want it? I'll pick a few more for you. "When the aunt saw that Lin Mumu liked to eat, she quickly went to pick a few more for her.
Lin Mumu was embarrassed and insisted on paying: "Auntie, please sell these to me. I'm traveling with my husband, we can eat on the road."
"This isn't worth much. They are here to collect it. A basket is only 8 RMB. If you really want to pay, just give me 3 RMB for this." The Haru aunt's Mandarin wasn't perfect. She had an ethnic accent, but it was very clear.
"Three yuan?" Lin Mumu was dumbfounded for a moment. In the market, a catty of cigars cost three yuan, and she already had five catties, right?
Fortunately, Yun Ting reacted quickly and didn't let Lin Mumu speak much, and already paid the money to the aunt.
Although the big aunt was very enthusiastic, she was also happy to sell some things, so she took Lin Mumu to see the crabapple fruit.
"My Begonia Fruit is a bit expensive, but I don't dare to sell too much. I will weigh one kilogram for you, and it will cost 10 yuan. I'll try my best to help you pick a sweeter one. "The aunt said to Lin Mumu with embarrassment:
"It's mainly because the Village Chief's wife likes to eat my fruit. She has already decided on it and won't let me sell it.
Did you find it yourself? I'll sell some to you secretly. Anyway, there's so much, she can't finish it. "
"Thank you very much, Auntie." Lin Mumu smiled, her eyes were curved, and she was especially likable.
Ten yuan per kilogram was indeed a bit expensive. However, the aunty explained that spring in Xijiang province came later than in the mainland, and the fruits came later as well. Her crabapple fruits were picked early, so it was rare.
Moreover, selling Begonia fruits to Lin Mumu was also a bit risky. If the village head's wife found out that she secretly sold them, she wouldn't let her manage the entire orchard.
"Oh, then how much did you pay your village chief's family for one kilogram?" Lin Mumu curiously asked.
The aunt turned her head in astonishment and looked at Lin Mumu as if she was looking at a monster. He smiled and explained to Lin Mumu:
"Just by looking at your attire, I can tell you're from the mainland. You don't know the life of ordinary people like us. Don't you Han people have a saying that the county magistrate is not as good as the person in charge? We're giving Begonia Fruits to the village chief, how can we ask for money? "
