"Hey—" The old man shouted to Lu Linlan and Tao Nian, who hadn't gone far yet. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But Lu Linlan and Tao Nian turned a deaf ear, and they didn't feel that someone was shouting at them, and they still walked slowly from stall to stall very calmly.

"Hey-" The old man shouted again, but Lu Tao and the others in the distance still did not react. Then he said, "You see, there are two men over there, and they have been here just now. On the contrary, they want rabbit feet, not bodies. If you join forces with them, you can buy the rabbit. ”

"Haha, the old man laughed," Qiu Shuyi said, "Hindsight, anyone will put it." It's a pity that the people have already left, and they can't unite," he clapped his hands, turned his head to the east and said, "Go!"

Dongfang Yiqiao immediately responded: "Yes!"

The one who called the old man was Qiu Shuyi, and Qiu Shuyi was a woman. Many people swept their eyes and skimmed by, not feeling anything. But what if you change to a man and call him an old man?

In fact, there is the title of the father-in-law first, and then the father-in-law. Old words, no need to explain. The key is Zhang.

Zhang, as we all know, is a unit of measurement. Larger than the zhang unit, there are kilometers, and there are more light years. Don't say that there was no such thing in ancient times, although there were no kilometers in ancient times, there were miles.

The point is that in daily life, you can't use a unit like "li". In daily life, inches and rulers are used the most. There is an idiom used to explain the truth is "the ruler is short, and the inch is long". Say a great man, called Angzang seven-foot man. Only in some scripts, when it comes to individual immortal heroes, will they describe their height.

Therefore, the unit of zhang, in daily life, is a relatively long unit.

Some scholars have recorded the phenomena in their lives. In the "Great Dai Li Ji", it is recorded that "the zhang, the long." ”

As we all know, long characters are polyphonic words. When I record "the ruler, the long also", it is long and should be read as the long of the long short. But when it comes to reading, it's not necessarily the case.

One book, a thousand things to read. It's the same to change the words of a book into a poem or a word into a word. Wang Guowei's three realms of life came about in this way.

As a result, the word "long" in "Zhang, Changye" is interpreted as the meaning of the elderly.

The old man has become an honorific title for the elderly.

Some people may ask, is it specifically referring to male elders? Actually, it wasn't at first. It's just that in those days, the only elders walking outside were men. So in the end, the phenomenon of actually referring to male elders was formed.

Respecting the father-in-law with the father-in-law is naturally an honorific title. However, since "Lao Zhangren" comes from "Lao Zhang", the word "person" needs to be read softly. Long is an adjective, but it is the point, and person is a name, but not the point. If you read the word "person" too much, you will put the cart before the horse.

――

After Dongfang Yiqiao finished speaking, he straightened up and was about to leave.

When the old man saw this, he was anxious: "Don't go, don't go! Why don't you wait here for a while, and I'll chase those two customers back?"

"Oh?" Qiu Shuyi hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and asked Dongfang Yiqiao, "The time for the appointment with Miss Wang is almost up, right?"

Dongfang Yiqiao immediately replied: "Yes, soon, there is still an hour and a quarter of an hour." ”

Everyone knows that an hour is equal to two hours. But it is likely to be overlooked that the ancient quarter of an hour is about the same length as the modern quarter of an hour.

In ancient times, a day and night were divided into a hundred quarters. Twenty-four hours divided by one hundred equals 0.24 hours. Multiply by sixty minutes, convert the units into minutes, and the length of time per quarter of an hour comes out: fourteen and four minutes.

Look, fourteen and four points can be about equal to about fifteen points.

"There is another hour and a quarter of an hour", which is quite a long time. But what Dongfang Yiqiao said earlier was "Yes, it's soon", which was said from the perspective of his entourage and servant.

When Qiu Shuyi heard this, it turned out that there was still such a long time, and her footsteps suddenly stopped. Turned around and said, "Then you go and call!"

The old man immediately shouted to the nearby stall owners on the left and right, asking everyone to help look at their stalls. Then he got up and went to chase Lu Tao and the others.

――

It didn't take long for Lu Linlan and Tao Nian's attitudes to change a lot. It seems that time has passed, and I am no longer interested in the feet of the psychedelic rabbit. The old man stall owner was easy to talk about, and it took a lot of effort to persuade Lu Tao and the others to return to their stalls.

"No, these are the two customers," said the old man as he walked, "and they want the body of a rabbit, including ears, but they don't want four legs." I thought, don't you two just have four feet and no body?"

After saying this, he had already walked back to the stall.

Qiu Shuyi said to Lu Tao and the others: "Who are you two? I am going to buy all these rabbit bodies." Can you buy all the feet?"

"Heh," Lu Linlan said, "you don't care who we are. You're right, we had some difficulties in buying all these rabbit feet. However, with this attitude towards you, we will definitely buy it!"

"This attitude of mine," Qiu Shuyi stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Linlan rather rudely, "You say, what kind of attitude do I have?"

"The girl's nose is good," Lu Linlan suddenly changed the topic, "If you really want to talk about it, the girl's facial features other than the nose are also ordinary." But because of the nose, it plays a role in harmonizing, making the overall facial features vivid all of a sudden, and it really deserves the name of Tianzi and the country. But ......"

"But what?" Before she knew it, Qiu Shuyi's hand was withdrawn.

"However, the most taboo thing is to let others see the nostrils, and even let others see the nose hair in the nostrils. So, the girl's head should be lowered a little. ”

"What is it? dare to ask me to bow my head!" Qiu Shuyi was furious.

"The girl is angry," Lu Linlan said, "and there are many kinds of bowing your head. than winning or losing, the winner holds his head high, and the loser bows his head, I believe that the girl misunderstood that. But what I said is different, you know what, the gentleness you show between bowing your head is like the shyness of the water cabbage. It's just beautiful!"

Qiu Shuyi's eyes rolled and said, "What you say sounds good." But how can there be water cabbage, and what kind of jelly?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, I made a mistake," Lu Linlan said, "it should be like the shyness of the water lotus." ”

"Seeing that you can say that, then I will forgive you," Qiu Shuyi turned her head, "Boss-what about the boss?"

――

"Here, here," just now, the old man saw the two customers arguing, and he was in a hurry. I want to persuade, but I can't interject. At this time, the guests stopped arguing and shouted to themselves, and the old man stood up immediately.

Qiu Shuyi said: "What kind of joint law, boss, you can talk about it." ”

Lu Linlan interjected: "This is very simple. We asked just now, and the boss said that the rabbit was sixty taels of silver per catty. Just think about it, with your identity, and you are still buying the body of a rabbit, how much silver should you give per catty, on the line. ”

"You!" Qiu Shuyi turned her head, "I don't want her to say, I want the boss to say it!"

The old stall owner thought for a moment and said, "That...... Why don't you pay fifty taels per catty, and these two eldest sisters pay ten taels?"

Qiu Shuyi listened and did not refute, but raised his head.

Dongfang Yiqiao, who was behind Qiu Shuyi, immediately stepped forward: "You old man is blind! Seeing that we have a lot of money, let's pay more! Quickly change the price, otherwise be careful that you won't survive today!"

The old man was shocked, this attendant was actually a reckless man! No, it was a reckless woman!

The old man immediately said, "Then, why don't you, girl, forty taels per catty, and two eldest sisters, twenty taels per catty?"

"Impossible," said Lu Linlan, "is the flesh on that body only twice the size of the foot? Let's go!" After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

The old man stall owner hurriedly shouted: "Don't go, don't go, the matter has not been decided yet, there is still something to discuss!"

"Then how much do you say?" asked Lu Linlan.

"Or, fold it, you guys are fifteen taels per catty, and the girl is forty-five taels per catty?"

This time, Lu Linlan didn't say anything and left. And Qiu Shuyi's side did not have a seizure.

It seems that this price is basically acceptable to both parties.

After a pause of more than ten seconds, Tao Nian said: "Then it's decided, we all listen to the boss." Not to mention anything else, the boss is so old, and he still comes out to set up a stall, which is hard enough. It is only natural that we young listen to the old. ”

The old man said in his heart, why don't you say this first, and wait until the dust settles?

――

The price is agreed, and it's time to go through the scales. The old stall owner brought the scales.

A large cloth bag brought by the old man first.

Qiu Shuyi asked: "Boss, you just weigh rabbits, what do you do with your scale pockets?"

The old stall owner said, "This is the gross weight, and I will remove it later." But I didn't go into details. The old stall owner believes that the time to finish is definitely much less than the time to finish.

After weighing the pockets, the old man said directly: "The pocket is half a catty!" That is to say, you have to lose this half catty from the total weight after a while.

However, this made Lu Linlan not know whether the old man's scale was ten taels or sixteen taels.

――

Then, the old man stall owner began to catch rabbits. Every time you grab one, throw it into the bag.

Lu Linlan thought to herself, if she was not an accomplice to Qiu Shuyi on her side, stay for a while, and divide the matter of her body and feet, it seems that this stall owner doesn't want to take care of it.

The old man caught the rabbit, and Lu Linlan was counting here. The cage was covered with a blue cloth, and the corner inside was so dark that it was impossible to see how many rabbits there were.

After counting, there were eight in total.

Eight rabbits, not very heavy. The old man lifted the bag, pulled a pimple, and hung it on the scale hook. One scale, nearly thirteen catties.

"Optimistic, optimistic, nearly thirteen catties!" the old man sang, "The gross weight of the pocket just now is half a catty, minus the gross weight, a total of twelve catties for you!"

None of the four guests objected.

The old man finished weighing and placed the bag containing the rabbit in front of the four of them. I thought, how to divide it, you can discuss it yourself, don't call me the shots.

――

Qiu Shuyi turned to face Lu Linlan: "Say, a total of twelve catties, how many catties are your feet?"

"What do you call our feet, those are clearly rabbit's feet!" Lu Linlan said.

"Okay, you say, how many catties are the rabbit's feet?" Qiu Shuyi asked again.

Lu Linlan said: "I think it's almost the same as two catties." ”

"It's only two pounds? You don't want to take advantage of it, and you don't want to ask who the other party is! I don't think you want to live!"

Lu Linlan asked, "Then how many catties do you say?"

Qiu Shuyi said: "Why do you have four catties?"

"Hey, you mean to say that the body of a rabbit weighs only eight pounds, right? You can also imagine that such a big body, such a small foot, is actually eight pounds to four pounds?"

"Harmony makes money, harmony makes money!" Tao Nian interjected, "You all don't quarrel. In my opinion, it's better to listen to the boss. Regardless of whether the boss says it or not, it is the boss who makes a decision. How?"

Lu Linlan said: "This is very good. I'm afraid that some people won't admit it!"

"Will I admit it?" Joke, you don't inquire!" Qiu Shuyi did not relent.

"Miss, I'll have to go to Miss Wang's appointment later. Dongfang pulled Qiu Shuyi's sleeve with skill.

Qiu Shuyi heard this, and immediately said, "Okay, boss, it's still you who say." Don't worry, no matter how much, it's up to you!"

The old man immediately said, "Then listen to this girl, the body of the rabbit is counted as eight catties, and the feet of the rabbit are counted as four catties." ”

In fact, when they were arguing, the old man stall owner could see it clearly and understand it when he was next to him.

If the status of the two guests is equal, it is nothing more than a matter of one person giving a step. But the two guests don't seem to be equal, so the side with the lower status should not fight anymore.

Therefore, the old man stall owner made a biased arbitration.

――

"Give the silver!" Qiu Shuyi won and shouted confidently.

Dongfang stepped forward by coincidence: "Boss, settle the account!"

The old man began to calculate: "On your side, it's a rabbit body." It weighed eight catties in total, forty-five taels per catty, and a total of three hundred and sixty taels. ”

Tao Nian asked: "Boss, on our side, a total of four catties weigh, fifteen taels per catty, a total of sixty taels, right?"

"Yes, yes!" said the old stall owner, "and the guests settle accounts much faster than I do!"

Lu Linlan said: "Then, sixty taels plus three hundred and sixty taels, a total of four hundred and twenty taels, right?"

"Of course. The old man wondered, and asked, what is this for? What about the two cases where the money of the customers is combined?

Lu Linlan said: "From the front to the present, we haven't negotiated the price, right?"

The old man understood as soon as he heard it: "Oh, customer, do you want a discount?"

"Yes!"

Giving a discount is a common behavior in the market. Just like buying vegetables, after the vegetables are sold, sometimes two green onions will be spared.

At this time, the old man's stall owner couldn't give other discounts, so he said: "Then wipe the odds ......" Speaking of this, the old man suddenly remembered that the four hundred and twenty taels can be made by adding three hundred and sixty taels and sixty taels, how to wipe the fractions?

The old man stall owner was speechless, and said hurriedly: "I mean, I mean, I mean, wipe the fraction of four hundred and twenty taels, and only collect four hundred taels in total." ”

"Don't worry, boss, we mean the same thing. After speaking, Lu Linlan directly took out four hundred taels of silver and gave it to the old man's stall owner.

Lu Linlan said: "Money and goods are lost, and we will meet again if we have a fate!"

"Goodbye, goodbye!" replied the old stall owner.

Next, Tao Nian, Qiu Shuyi, and Dongfang Yiqiao all said goodbye to the boss respectively. The old man and the stall owner answered one by one.

After answering this one by one, I couldn't help but notice, why did these four people go together? Hey, no, why did they give the money together just now?

What kind of scam is this?

"Ahh

At this time, Lu Linlan and the four of them walked twenty or thirty steps away. When he heard the shouting, he stopped. Qiu Shuyi asked loudly, "Uncle, is there something wrong?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just to invite the guests to go all the way, be safe and happy, Wishing you prosperity!" the old man could only say this.

Yes, what can you say if you call them back? If you don't even find any suspicions, what can you say?

――

This laughing business is very head-scratching to do. But it's okay, it's a one-time one, and it's worth the money to sell all the psychedelic rabbits......

The old stall owner suddenly remembered that he had promised to hand over 500 taels after he went back, why did he sell 400 taels himself?

Sixty taels per catty, a total of 12 catties, the total price should be 720 taels! Why is there a difference of more than 300 taels?

But what was wrong just now?

Every time it is divided, it is clear. And, after the fact, it's up to you to decide.

The old stall owner's head is big again.

Forget it, the stall is gone. I will never come out to set up a stall again.
