บท 103: Discussion About Returning to the Village

"That's because of the water! Only the water from the village can do that! I already went back and asked around!" Li Gui said hurriedly.

"Then since you said you'll earn money, tell me how you're going to do it." Zhang Qian took a sip of water, waiting to hear what she could say.

"It's like this, I… did go back to see my daughter today, but I found out that the bean sprouts from the supply and marketing cooperative are supplied by their village! They supply it at 20 cents a catty and they can harvest 2,000 catties a day! The supply is collected from every household and each family can produce about 70 to 80 catties." Li Gui stared at Zhang Qian's face, afraid that he would be angered if she said something wrong.

After hearing that, Zhang Qian looked at his mother while he did some mental calculations on how much money could be made from 70 to 80 catties at 20 cents a catty. He concluded that it was quite a fair bit of money per day.
