Uncle placed the bamboo basket down and lifted the cotton cloth on top to give her a peek.
There were dried shrimp, kelp, dried oyster meat, dried ribbon fish, and also dried abalone.
Exactly what she wanted, her eyes lit up with joy, "Uncle, how much are these?"
"Shrimp, four dimes, oysters, one dime, ribbon fish, thirty-two cents, abalone, eighty cents, kelp, twenty cents. I'll take coupons, any kind of tickets will do. Also, large yellow croaker, thirty-five cents a pound."
Lu Jingqiu hadn't expected it to be so cheap; at their place, dried shrimp would cost at least fifty cents, and abalone could sell for eighty cents.
"Uncle, I have sugar coupons, hygienic paper coupons, and meat coupons. Do you think that would work?"
"Sure, sure."
"How many pounds do you have of these items?"
"Two pounds of shrimp, three pounds of oysters, six pounds of ribbon fish, three pounds of abalone, and four pounds of kelp."
"I'll take them all."
