Chapter 818: Preparations for Opening (Part II)
The aquatic meat area of the vegetable market is smaller than the vegetable area, but there are at least twenty or thirty butcher stalls of different sizes.
The butcher shop sells a wide range of meats, including lamb, fish, pork, chicken, duck, goose, pigeon, etc., and you can buy all the meat you can call here, except for beef.
There are even a few stalls that even sell shark fin, one of the eight treasures.
"What kind of meat is this? It's like a handful. ”
Liu Dadao followed Zhu Ping'an around, very interested in shark fin, he had seen bear meat and venison, he had never seen this shark fin, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
Liu Dazhui is just as curious.
"This is shark fin, one of the eight treasures." Zhu Ping'an explained to the two, "There is a fish in the sea, called shark, which is as big as a house, and this shark fin is made from its fins. ”
"A fish as big as a house? Childe didn't call us, right? ”
Liu Dadao and Liu Dazhui are the bosses with their mouths open, their faces full of incredulity, and the expressions of me who read less, don't lie to me.
"Really, some sharks are bigger than the house, and some are a little smaller, and I will have a chance to show you in the future." Zhu Ping'an nodded seriously.
"This son is really well-informed, my shark fin here is a famous good shark fin in our capital, do you want to come a few catties and go home to taste it." The owner of the shop stepped forward with a smile, complimented Zhu Ping'an, and then spared no effort to encourage Zhu Ping'an to buy a few catties of shark fin and go home to taste it.
Li Shu's clothes for Zhu Ping'an are all low-key and luxurious, Zhu Ping'an likes low-key, Li Shu likes luxury, so the point that the two agreed on is low-key luxury.
Therefore, if you only look at the goods and look at Zhu Ping'an's clothes, you will think that Zhu Ping'an is the son and young master of a certain family.
The boss who sells shark fin in the vegetable market has naturally developed a pair of discerning eyes, and he can see at a glance that Zhu Ping'an's clothes are made of the most expensive floating Guangya in the capital, and this kind of silk cloth is the famous "soft gold" in the fabric, and a foot of floating Guangling is at least a few taels of silver.
Fuguang Guangling is the selection of high-grade light, with a special Chinese herbal juice impregnated, and then mashed a variety of precious medicinal materials mixed with iron-rich river bottom mineral mud sealed, exposed to the scorching sun in summer for several days, and then immersed in Chinese herbal juice, the cycle repeatedly, it takes several months, after more than 30 processes to make.
Because of the attachment of mineral pond mud, this kind of floating silk cloth feels cool after wearing, dries quickly when exposed to water, and is not easy to wrinkle. At the same time, due to the infiltration of a variety of Chinese herbal medicines, this kind of silk cloth has the effect of clearing heat and removing stasis, as well as multiple effects such as insect removal, mildew prevention, sterilization, deodorization, etc., which can be called the best green fabric.
The people who can wear the floating light and Guangya are all after the official eunuchs and wealthy families with very, very thick backgrounds.
Shark fin is sold to such people.
Most rich people love face, and the shop owner is still very confident in the way of doing business, and I feel that Zhu Ping'an, a person who is not bad for money, under what he says, even if he can't buy a few catties, he has to buy half a catty.
It's a pity, though.
"Forget it, it's too expensive."
Zhu Ping'an raised his head as soon as the shopkeeper's words fell, shook his head with a smile, and a mouthful of white teeth glittered in the sun.
Just kidding, I couldn't afford to buy shark fin before I went bankrupt, let alone now.
Zhu Ping'an's resolute and natural refusal made the shop owner stunned for a while, how could a rich man say such a thing as too expensive so naturally....... Don't you want to lose face......
Zhu Ping'an refused, and Liu Dadao's voice sounded beside him.
"How much is a pound? The young lady asked the steward to send us a monthly money, which is two taels of silver. Liu Dadao asked the boss with a bold face at this time, with a posture that I just paid my salary today, and I am not bad for money.
Zhu Ping'an was deducted from his salary by the emperor for a year or two, and was fined one hundred taels of silver by the emperor, which is no secret in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. Liu Dadao and they often follow Zhu Ping'an, so they are naturally more informed, knowing that Zhu Ping'an has been shy recently, cough cough, and he has to rely on his daughter-in-law to help......
Therefore, Liu Dadao had the intention to buy two catties of shark fin and let Zhu Ping'an take it back to taste it with the young lady, which could be regarded as their intention.
The shopkeeper stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of Liu Dadao.
"Twenty cents a pound? Well, it's a little more expensive than pork, but it's not too expensive, give me a ten-pound one. Liu Dadao thought that the two fingers of the boss were twenty pounds and one pound, so he couldn't help laughing, and boldly asked the boss to weigh him ten pounds and eight pounds.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked at Liu Dadao with an idiot on his face, and then slowly shook his head.
"Oh, that's two hundred wen a catty, well, it's indeed a little expensive, so let's get five catties." Seeing this, Liu Dadao couldn't help but swallow his saliva, the price was beyond his expectations, and his tone was not as bold as just now.
The shopkeeper shook his head again, and replied to Liu Dadao with the same expression and the same look as just now.
"That's two taels of silver a pound?"
Not two hundred pounds?! Liu Dadao took a deep breath, raised his head and asked, looking surprised.
"It's not a pound, it's a penny." The shopkeeper was speechless, and he didn't give Liu Dadao a chance to guess, so he directly quoted the price.
"What? Two taels of silver and one penny? ...... That's not enough to plug your teeth. ”
Liu Dadao's eyes were straight and dumbfounded after hearing this, he couldn't believe his ears, he took a deep breath, and it took a long time before he spit it out!
Well, another vivid case of "poverty limits my imagination...... In fact, when Zhu Ping'an first heard about the price of shark fin, his expression was not much better than Liu Dadao's, and he also looked like he was eating one to two catties.
"Ahem, I only now understand what Childe means by saying that it is too expensive, this is simply too expensive. Forget it, I still have the opportunity to hunt a whale with my own hands in the future, cut its shark fins and then honor the son and the young lady. Liu Dadao coughed and scratched his head a little embarrassed.
"Uh-huh." Liu Dazhui nodded in agreement, he and Liu Dadao combined their monthly money, and they didn't buy a shark fin......
"Well, yes, I can make a note of that. Let's go and see the pork. Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, son, I will definitely hunt a big whale in the future......" Liu Dadao and Liu Dazhui patted their chests while following Zhu Ping'an.
The shopkeeper behind him, with a stupid and bragging expression, watched them leave.
