Chapter Twenty-Nine: Despised
Su Miao didn't know the price of puffer fish in Yueliang Country, but she knew that puffer fish was a high-quality ingredient at any time, and the toxicity carried by puffer fish itself raised the level of this ingredient. The man in blue was clearly in the restaurant business, and she would never believe that he had bought a puffer fish to take home and raise for fun. He knew that his sister-in-law didn't recognize puffer fish, so he would naturally start with the reserve price when making an offer. Judging from his previous slight surprise to himself, and his willingness to pay a tael of silver without hesitation, the market value of this fish must be higher than a tael.
"Doing business is to treat each other with sincerity, the fish market festival has just begun, although the son was lucky to meet this Qingjiang lungfish, but in addition to the son, there are many people who know the goods and want to buy."
The poisonous barramundi has just become popular in the southeast of Yueliang Kingdom, and the barramundi in freshwater is even rarer, this ingredient that is only popular among the nobles I didn't expect the girl in a small town to know so much.
Man Fang ran back panting with the water cage in his arms, the cold gaze of the man in blue swept over Su Miao's face, directly ignored it, and threw down two ingots of silver with white flowers in front of the hesitant sister-in-law Man, and commanded with a sigh of gold:
"Pack it up."
Sister-in-law Man was so happy that a flower seemed to bloom on her face, and she responded happily, and hurriedly put the puffer fish into the water cage:
"Childe take it!"
"There is really only this one, if there are others, I will cover them all." The man in blue asked again.
"This fish was caught by the child's father when the fog was thick on the river, and this is really the only one."
The man in blue nodded, turned around and left with the water cage, passing by Su Miao, who was a little green because of being ignored, looking ahead, obviously passing by but she was treated as air, and then, just when the two passed by, the man in blue was about to leave, he suddenly lowered his eyes, his scarlet lips hooked slightly, and a light laugh clearly entered her ears!
That's right, he didn't look at her when he passed by her, but he snorted at her, and snorted, this is definitely naked/naked contempt!
The poor Su Miao was ruthlessly despised by a rich man in a ridiculous way!
In an instant, the poor man's pride was shattered into slag, and the sound of laughter echoed in her ears even though the "culprit" had drifted away.
A pretty face turns from red to orange, from orange to yellow, from yellow to green, from green to blue, from blue to purple.
"The second sister's face is green." Su Yan whispered.
"It's like a rainbow." Su Chan said in a flat tone.
Su Miao looked over, and the sisters and brothers immediately raised their necks and looked up at the sky. Sister-in-law Man made a big business, she was very excited, grabbed Su Miao's hands, and said with a smile:
"Sister Miao'er is thanks to you this time, she made an extra silver or two for nothing, if you didn't know how much sister-in-law you would have lost! When the sunspot sends you fish in the evening, the sister-in-law will pick more for you, and the sister-in-law will explain that you don't have to pay for the fish today! ”
"Oh, how did this work!"
"Make the envoy, that fish sister-in-law originally promised you, you don't blame the sister-in-law for helping the sister-in-law negotiate the price, and the sister-in-law thanked you!"
"It's not a big deal, after all, it's Brother Manfu who was lucky to catch such a fish."
"It's also because you're here today, don't worry, I'll tell you Brother Manfu when I go back, and I'll give you one when he catches that kind of fish next time."
Su Miao smiled and thanked her.
Leaving the stall full of sisters-in-law, in order to compensate Su Chan, Su Miao bought three packs of slightly salted dried spicy fish, and the three sisters and brothers sat on the long embankment, with their backs to the Qingjiang River, staring at the crowded crowd in the fish market and eating.
"Chan'er, the second sister has written down today's incident, and when the second sister is rich, she will definitely buy one for you to raise and play."
"Hey, why should I keep it for fun?" Su Chan asked suspiciously, eating dried spicy fish.
"Hey, don't you think the puffer fish can be puffed up and cute, so you want to keep it for fun?"
"I just think that the fish that can be puffed up looks delicious, but I don't want to eat it when I hear that it is poisonous, do you think I look like a person who can raise fish?" Su Chan asked incredulously.
"......" Su Miao turned her head to look at the river, the tails of her eyes kept twitching, she seemed to be completely mistaken.
"Second sister, why do you say that fish is 'pufferfish', but that person says 'lungfish'?"
"Barramundi is the local name."
"Is it really poisonous?"
"People will die."
"Huh?" Su Chan snorted in her nose a thousand times, and said regretfully with a dried fish in her mouth, "It's rare to look so delicious!" ”
"Is it delicious? I think it's scary. Su Yan ate the dried fish and interjected.
"You look at everything and think it's scary." Su Chan responded bluntly.
Su Yan felt that he was despised, flattened his mouth aggrievedly, raised his head, but said "Ahh
"Second sister, it's the person just now!"
Su Miao followed the direction of his finger and looked around, and sure enough, he saw that the blue-clothed boy who had just now was standing in the crowd not far away and looked around for a while, and then walked towards the east. At first, Su Miao didn't care, until a quarter of an hour later, Su Yan suddenly sighed:
"Why did he come back again?"
Su Miao looked over again, only to see the man in blue return to his place, and continued to look around the crowd for a while, this time walking towards the west.
It's not over yet, and after a long time, the man returned to the same place for the third time, and then looked around the crowd, and now Su Chan, who was not even interested in anything, looked over with interest:
"That guy can't be lost, right?"
Su Miao didn't say anything, her willow eyebrows raised slightly, and she looked at the blue-clothed boy walking towards the north with a water cage under his arm.
"Second sister, eat it all!" Su Yan showed her the empty big leaf in his hand.
"Still want to eat?"
Su Yan smiled and nodded, Su Miao took out a few copper plates and handed them to Su Chan:
"You take him, you two have a bag each."
"You don't eat?" Su Chan threw the leaves into the river, stood up and asked.
Su Miao shook her head: "Be careful of crutches, don't hang out, come back after buying." ”
Su Chan responded impatiently and strode in front, and Su Yan ran a few steps and happily followed behind. Su Miao held her cheek with one hand, and watched with a smile as her sister and brother squeezed into the crowd, and her heart was wonderfully calm and peaceful. The blue sky, the clear water, the dusk, the town, the crowd, the peace of the family, this is what she wants. With a smile, his eyes inadvertently fell on the opposite side, but he involuntarily twitched the corners of his mouth.
A bright and elegant blue stood out from the crowd of fishy men, and he was a head taller than many southern men, so that the beautiful head swirled around the heads of many people, looking around in confusion.
It looks like he's lost, but is this man a migratory creature who will eventually return to the same place no matter which direction he goes?
Su Miao shook her head, got up and went down the embankment to the river, her shoes were soaked with dirty water when she was visiting the fish market just now, but fortunately she brought a spare, and planned to wash her feet in the water and change her shoes.
Because she turned around, she naturally didn't notice it, and the man in blue in the crowd suddenly saw her, and then walked straight over.
