"So are you saying it's true? If it doesn't work, let's grab a few pounds and give it a try! ”

Lao Liu suddenly moved, ten catties of locusts for a penny, it sounds extremely cheap, but now the streets are full of locusts, let's just say it, you don't need to catch it deliberately, as long as you open a cloth bag and go to the street so casually, half a bag of locusts can be obtained!

"Don't go, don't bother to try, it must be fake again, how can anyone buy locusts?"

However, the other person waved his hand one after another, and this was a completely fantasy for him.

"That's right!"

Lao Liu nodded, and suddenly lost interest in this matter, but when he turned his head, he saw a few children with pigtails at the end of the street catching locusts on the street and putting them in a cloth bag.

"Hey, little doll over there, what are you doing with these things?" Lao Wang looked at the children on the street and couldn't help laughing, this kind of deceptive trick is only these children will believe it.

"Sell, my father said, now this locust is worth a lot, my father told me, as long as this bag is filled, buy me a rock sugar gourd to eat!"

The pigtail child, who was still pulling half of his nose, said excitedly, turned his head and pouted his ass again and began to catch locusts!

Lao Wang, who sells vegetables, looked at the bag in the hand of the pigtail child, and estimated that this half bag of locusts is five or six catties, and according to this method, I am afraid that it will not take a while to catch ten catties, if it can really be exchanged for money, not an hour, this child can earn a penny, although a penny can buy two or two meters in Datang, but this is a child! The kind that is too cumbersome to work in the fields can now make money by catching locusts! I don't dare to think about it!

After another quarter of an hour, the pigtailed kid grabbed a bag of locusts, and then left happily with a few friends, and the vegetable seller Wang suddenly couldn't sit still: "Anyway, being idle is idle, it's better to catch some locusts, it's good to be able to sell them for two dollars, if you can't sell them, you should get rid of a harm for our Chang'an!" ”

Thinking of this, the vegetable seller Wang immediately stopped hesitating, turned around and took out a big broom and cloth bag, and began to sweep the ground along the door of his house, the locusts on the ground were dense, and there were more than a dozen of them at will, all of which were swept into the cloth bag by the vegetable seller.

"If you sell according to this method, you can make more money than me selling vegetables!" Thinking of this, the speed of the vegetable seller suddenly increased a lot, not in a moment, the cloth bag has been filled with most of the pocket, the old king weighed it, it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty pounds, the whole cloth pocket is densely packed with locusts, and it is extremely disgusting to watch.

"I'm going to see if the court really wants to collect locusts!"

The vegetable seller pinched the cloth bag and put it on his back, turned around and walked towards the Wei Mansion! The rest of them can't believe it, but they still have a trust in Wei Zheng and Wei Chengxiang, as long as Wei Chengxiang says this, then this locust will definitely be collected, and now I don't know whether Wei Chengxiang wants to buy locusts.

…

But when the vegetable seller Wang walked to the door of the Wei Mansion, he was stunned, Chang'an people, they all know that the front of the Wei Mansion is definitely the most quiet place in the entire Chang'an City, because as the first minister of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng Wei Cheng has never liked to make friends, and for the guests who come to visit the Wei Mansion, he has always treated each other with a cold face.

But today's Wei Mansion is like a market in front of the door, and several long queues are lined up in front of the Wei Mansion, which is even more lively than the vegetable market.

The vegetable seller Wang saw the pigtailed child who had just caught half a bag of locusts, and he was already at the forefront of the line at this moment, and several long tables were lined up in front of the Wei Mansion, and there was a big scale on the table, and the child struggled to untie the locust bag on his back, opened it and let the Wei people take a look, and then the Wei people didn't say a word, weighed it, and then directly auctioned two big coins to the pigtailed child.

The pigtailed child received the two big money, and immediately smiled, and waited for a few other friends to sell all the locusts in their hands, and then took the sack and prepared to catch locusts in Chang'an City.

"It's... It can really sell for money! ”

The vegetable seller Wang Dun was a little confused, he just had the idea of coming over to see if it was true or false, but the scene in front of him directly made the vegetable seller Wang confused!

The vegetable seller opened the cloth bag and took a look, this is indeed a locust, yes, why did it turn into a golden lump when he arrived here?

Although the queue is very long, but the speed is very fast, one hand to pay the money and one hand to deliver, although the scale is not very accurate, but no one cares, after all, this is a business without capital, as long as there is a pocket, it is a profitable business!

Soon it was the turn of the vegetable seller, in front of the table was a young man who was about twenty or thirty years old, who looked quite energetic, and the vegetable seller handed over the locust belt on his back, only to see that this young man was weighed, but he just swept his eyes and said: "Twenty-one pounds, give you two big money?" ”

"It's done!" Lao Wang nodded hurriedly, this bag of locusts, it took him less than a quarter of an hour, and he got two big bucks for nothing. is equivalent to half a catty of white rice, isn't the family's food for a day going down today?

The vegetable seller has lived for most of his life, and it is the first time he has seen such a good amount of money.

"Little brother, the old man inquired, does Prime Minister Wei really want to collect locusts?"

After receiving two big coins, the vegetable seller Wang Ren felt like a dream, and the locusts on the street turned out to be a treasure.

"That's still fake, now it's not just Wei Xiang, the entire Chang'an City is buying locusts!"

This servant of the Wei Mansion said with a smile, although he didn't know why, Wei Zheng and Wei Cheng would collect locusts, but he had already heard that now the civil and military officials in the entire Chang'an City, which mansion is not like this!

"That's it, then thank you, little brother!" The vegetable seller Wang finally put his mind at ease, since the entire Chang'an City is buying locusts, it means that there is really a market for this locust, and besides, the vegetables can't be sold now, so just come and catch the locusts directly, if this businessless business is really done, I'm afraid that it will be more profitable than selling vegetables!
