"Nine pounds and nine taels, and a little red. It's ten pounds. ”

After the strong man finished weighing, he immediately took out the scale hook, put down the fiber bag, and pretended to be very generous.

"How much?" Gu Jihai asked in surprise. He couldn't believe his ears, and thought he had heard it wrong.

"Nine catties and nine taels are a little red, and the less is mine, so add that little bit, ten catties." The strong man repeated again.

"But I weighed twelve pounds before I came?" Gu Jihaiwu couldn't believe his defense, and said, "How can it be ten catties?" It's only a little bit later. ”

"Probably because you went all the way, the chickens didn't eat, but they and peed again, so it's lighter." The strong man smiled lightly, as if he was used to such a scene, and his expression did not change for a moment, and then explained.

Pooping and peeing? Your chickens and pee to lose two pounds!

Gu Jihai rolled his eyes and almost died of anger.

Seeing the other party's skillful appearance, relaxed and relaxed, Gu Jihai came to his senses, and felt that he had met twelve taels, and at home, he was weighed on a fair scale, so twelve catties of field chickens suddenly became ten catties.

Gu Jihai is not very proficient in the doorway of scales, and he is not enough to have some unspoken rules, and he has also heard of it. There are three types of scales in circulation, small scales, fair scales and excessive scales.

The common people use it in their own homes are generally fair scales, weighing things, no more, no less, exactly ten taels per catty. However, some profiteers, especially those who do small business, are accustomed to using small and excessive scales. When the profiteer is a seller, he will use a small portion of the scale to weigh the thing less than two; When profiteers are buyers, they will use excessive scales and weigh things in kilograms. Since people usually buy things, we have more contact with less scales. Among them, the small number of scales on the market is represented by eight taels of scales, and the excess scales are represented by twelve taels of scales.

Gu Jihai, who was extremely angry in his heart, couldn't help but turn his head and look around, looking around, and the idea of finding another buyer had already sprouted in his heart, the goods in front of him were really too pitiful.

It's a full two catties of field chickens. It's not just a minority. It's about the same as seven catties of good pork. And in this day and age, not every household can afford to eat pork regularly. At least, not in his own home.

Soon, he despaired, and looked back again in frustration, where he was triumphant, and his face was determined to eat his strong man.

Since the wildlife catchers who sell the goods usually arrive early, the receiving market closes earlier than the farmers' market. At ten o'clock now, most of the reselling dealers who received the goods had already finished their work, and the only ones left here were the two snake collectors over there, and the strong man in front of him who collected frogs and field chickens.

In fact, from the other party's calm eyes, Gu Jihai also figured it out. A market should only have one specification of scales, which is a custom that will inevitably evolve, and since this strong man uses twelve taels of scales, it is estimated that he will not be able to touch a fair scale when he sells it to anyone, and even because of the mutual protection between the buyers, the more it is weighed, the less it is.

Unless you don't sell in this market!

Although he accepted his fate, Gu Jihai was still very unwilling.

Looking at the strong man in front of him who suddenly became hateful, Gu Jihai's heart was filled with a strong impulse, and he wanted to ask the other party loudly: "You hung so much when you bought Tian Ji, does your family know about it?" ”

Of course, in the end, reason still didn't make him go crazy.

"Okay. Ten catties is ten catties, a total of ninety-nine yuan. Gu Jihai hung his head, like a defeated rooster, and said, "However, you have to add that one dollar and make up a hundred yuan." I've brought so many pheasants that I've got to bring a hundred back. ”

In the time when Gu Jihai hesitated, the strong man calculated that Gu Jihai had no choice, and finally had to choose to admit it, so he counted out ninety-nine yuan from his pocket early, pinched it in his hand and waited.

"Yes, this is easy to say." Probably ruthlessly slandered Gu Jihai's two catties of field chickens, which is really a lot of money, and the strong man is in a particularly good mood, and then people are also very good at talking: "A hundred yuan is a hundred yuan, you wait." ”

While speaking, the strong man has proved his generosity and open-mindedness with his actions.

A few red bills were pulled out of the tight pockets of his jeans pockets, about five or six of them, all of them hundred-dollar bills.

The strong man counted a few hundred-yuan bills, and really wanted to take out one and hand it to Gu Jihai.

"Lao Hu, there are a few good goods here, there is a king cobra in it, I still have money here, you can lend me some first." I'll give you dinner tonight, and I'll give it back to you when the time comes. "This is, suddenly a very discordant voice sounded.

Gu Jihai and the strong man followed the sound and looked, but it turned out that a snake dealer came over to borrow money.

"How much is missing?" Obviously, the two are not only very familiar with each other, but also have a good relationship, and the strong man who was called Lao Hu didn't ask much, and went straight to the topic.

"Six hundred dollars." The strong man surnamed Hu is so open-minded, the snake dealer who came over and asked for money to borrow must have been unkind, he didn't even think about it, and directly handed over the bottom.

"I just have six hundred dollars here." The strong man surnamed Hu pinched the money and handed it to the snake dealer and said.

"Alright, that's enough, give it all to me." The snake dealer took a look, snatched all the six hundred-yuan bills in the hands of the strong man surnamed Hu, and then turned around and left like a gust of wind. is in a hurry, for fear that a big business will be beaten slowly.

"I'm sorry! All I have is the ninety-nine dollars. ”

"Next time, when I do your business again, I remember to give you an extra dollar." The strong man who had borrowed the six hundred-yuan bills in his hand was borrowed by the snake dealer, and Forte took out the ninety-nine yuan that had not moved at all from the pocket of his clothes that had put the ninety-nine yuan in it before, and said apologetically while handing the scattered ninety-nine yuan to Gu Jihai.

After the strong man surnamed Hu stuffed the money to Gu Jihai, he didn't say much, bent over, took all the frogs and pheasants he had acquired today, and went away in a chic manner.

The money is gone, and it's a fart!

Besides, the time is not too early, and it is estimated that there will be no large number of sellers.

The strong man surnamed Hu walked away, leaving Gu Jihai standing there alone, but he was dumbfounded.

I looked down at the ninety-nine yuan in my hand, and it was still one dollar short of the task set by the universal contract!

Damn, you're all so diao, do your family know about it?
