After considering the pros and cons, Su Lide said, "Then let your mother prepare it. There is only one house next to Jiajia’s boyfriend’s third brother. So, just prepare two portions."
"As for the elders, we will prepare after visiting the neighbors and getting more information about them," he added.
"Okay. I’m going to inform my mother now," Su Jian said before he went to the kitchen.
While Su Lide continued to clean the front yard and prepare the soil for planting, Meng Qiaoping and Su Lanying were busy in the kitchen.
Today, their family woke up feeling refreshed. When they saw there was a basket of steamed buns, they steamed some buns for breakfast.
Later, Su Jian went to the foothills to collect firewood. His mother and sister were responsible for checking the food supply while his father went to prepare the yard for planting vegetables.
Just after Su Lanying finished checking the food supply, Su Jian entered the kitchen.
He placed the firewood at the corner of the kitchen and said, "Mother, my Father wants you to prepare two portions of snacks for the neighbors. We will visit them later."
"Brother, there are a lot of snacks in the cabinet. Should we pack mixed nuts or fruit slices?" Su Lanying asked.
After hearing what his sister said, Su Jian asked, "Ah Ying, how much food do we have?"
Although Su Lanying was born frail, she has a strong memory and is good at arithmetic.
After hearing her brother’s question, she said, "The staple food includes 150 kilograms of rice, 200 kilograms of white flour, 200 kilograms of corn flour, 100 kilograms of noodles, 300 kilograms of coarse grains, and 50 kilograms of potatoes."
"Other ingredients include 20 kilograms of vegetables, 10 kilograms of fruits, 5 pieces of salted fish, and 20 kilograms of salted meat."
"As for seasonings, we have five liters of oil, two cans of lard, one can of chili oil, two kilograms of salt, five kilograms of sugar, five kilograms of brown sugar, two bottles of sesame oil, two jars of wild honey, and a bottle of oyster sauce."
"We also have five kilograms of mixed nuts, two kilograms of dried fruit slices, and two bottles of tonic wine," she added.
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Jian was stunned. He knew his cousin was making a lot of money as a black market middleman. But he never expected his cousin had so much money.
Not to mention anything else, the staple food and tonic wine alone already cost a lot of money. He knew prices on the market would keep rising because state-owned supply store’s stocks were running out and they needed to wait until the summer harvest before they could refill their stock.
