The cabbage and radishes from Aunt Zhao's family were delivered after dinner. They even brought along the radishes that Aunt Zhao had helped buy from other families.
Gu Jiaojiao had already paid Aunt Zhao for the vegetables in advance, at market price.
Right now, napa cabbage and radishes were two cents a catty. A total of four hundred catties came to eight yuan. Carrots were five cents a catty, so one hundred catties cost five yuan.
The total came to thirteen yuan.
It might not sound like much, but an intern's salary was only fifteen yuan back then. For Gu Jiaojiao to spend so much at once was a huge expenditure.
Take Chen Jiefang's family, for instance. With more than a dozen mouths to feed, their annual share was 810 yuan. That worked out to less than eighty yuan per person for the entire year.
If the villagers found out about this, it would definitely cause an uproar.
