Chapter 168 Selling wolf skins

If these people are newly recruited soldiers, they will be carried out in an orderly manner on the training ground one by one in accordance with the training drills, dancing knives and guns, riding horses and archery, golden drums and flags, advancing and retreating in battle formations, and so on.

But Ding Servant? Oh, that is, what can the people do?

Building camps, transporting food, equipment, and equipment, digging trenches and filling large pits, building bridges, repairing roads, and burying corpses are all all logistical tasks.

Since Shangguan let him practice, the big guy has to practice.

Then the good training ground was dug by these people. Logging and camping? There were no trees nearby, so I had to tear down the empty barracks and put them back on, dismantle and assemble them dozens of times, and the originally sturdy barracks were completely scattered, so I had to set up tents instead.

As for the blind wandering around the camp with a mule cart pulling half a cart of hay, it only took two laps to toss the whole camp, and the whole camp was dusty and could not treat people, so it had to be urgently stopped.

Looking at the time, the time is almost up, even if today's project is over, standing in front of the soldier table again, a group of people are giggling and having fun before they come back to their senses.

Zhao Ti coughed for a while before everyone stopped.

"You are fortunate in your training, after eating lunch, you will go back to the camp and rest early, you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the camp, and you will be caught with ten military sticks! Alright, let's all disperse! ”

A crowd dispersed.

"It's not noon yet, where are we going?"

A group of people from Tangjia Village hugged the dogs, and the current Tang Xiaoer asked.

"Why don't we go out of the camp and play?" Next to him, Donald Laosan suggested.

The dog was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked him, "Can you get out?" ”

Donald pouted, "Of course you can!" The group of people who fought in the morning ran out as soon as they broke up, and I saw it with my own eyes! ”

The dog looked around, and sure enough, he didn't find the group of people, and thought about it, so he said, "Wait, I'll go and ask!" ”

At that moment, he walked up to the military man who was about to return to the barracks and said, "Brother Zhao! ”

When the military man heard the voice, he turned his head and saw that it was a dog, so he smiled and said, "Little brother, is there something wrong?" ”

The dog arched his hand and said, "We want to go out of the camp for some things, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Jun Han looked at the people from Tangjia Village behind him, frowned, and said, "So many of you go out together?" ”

The dog laughed, "What? Questions? ”

Jun Han said: "What if people go out and run away together?" My brother can't afford it! ”

The dog hurriedly said: "Don't worry brother, these people are all willing to come to serve, and they are all from the family, they will not commit this stupid thing, the kid promises, we can come back one by one!" ”

The soldier frowned and didn't say anything, the dog sighed and took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and handed it to him: "Brother, there is a man in the camp who has broken his arm, we have to carry him out to be treated, in case he dies in the camp, it will be troublesome!" ”

Jun Han took the copper coin pad, looked at the group of people behind him and said softly: "There are too many people, go out in batches after noon, if someone asks me at the door, it is, say okay first, don't cause trouble outside, you must go back to the camp at the end of the time, I will look for the night at night, one less person will ask you!" ”

The dog quickly nodded yes.

A group of people have long been drooling in the dream of this flowery Longzhou City, I heard that if you can go out, you can walk and jump, and a group of three or five discussed going there to play, no one went to eat the gruel at noon, and they were busy washing their faces, gargling, shining shoes, and picking up their hair.

"Where are you going, puppy?" Tang Xiaoer next to him asked.

The dogs did not know where to go, so they asked them, "Where are you going?" ”

Tang Xiaoer grinned and said, "We are going to Yihong ......"

Donald Laosan: "Ahem, cough, cough!" ”

Tang Xiaoer turned his head to look at him, and immediately changed his words: Well, let's go to Yihong Restaurant for wine! ”

The dog looked at Tang Laosan, who was blushing, pouted and said, "Go, go, don't mess with trouble, remember to go back to the camp on time!" ”

Seeing a group of people happily running out of the barracks, the dog sighed, touched his pocket, and brought five taels of silver when he came, which cost more than one or two in two days, and I don't know how many days and miles I can have, so I have to think of ways to earn some silver money to spend.

Bow your head and open the burlap bag containing wolf skin under the bed, pick up a blue-gray wolf skin and take a look, not bad! There is only one arrow hole in the neck.

I found a pair of linen pieces at the four corners, and walked out with my burden, but the skin was still raw, so it was heavy, and my shoulder hurt.

When I left the camp, I registered my name and barracks, and the others waved out without asking too much.

On the way, I asked the old man, and these things had to go to the leather street in the west of the city to be completed, and the dog asked for directions while looking at the scenery.

As if yesterday into the city, the bustling crowd on the street, reflecting the prosperity of hundreds of industries, the pedestrians on the road are also elated, even if there are sad people are just worried about their own troubles, as for the war ahead, after all, it has not yet arrived!

Walk all the way to see, come across something delicious to pay for it, walk for a while to arrive at Xicheng Leather Street, a full 200 meters long street, open a shop stalls together there are fifty or sixty.

Leather business, that is, the more crowded the more lively, the more lively will be more recruiting, men and women, young and old, riding horses and sedan chairs crowded here is not passable.

It was the first time for the dog to sell skins and he didn't know the price, so he was afraid that he would be caught by someone, so he first mixed in the crowd and pretended to see the excitement and quietly explored.

Just as the thin man riding a mule in front of him was asking a vendor with a cart for a price, the dog hurriedly squeezed over to eavesdrop.

The thin man asked, "How much does this black fox skin cost?" ”

The hawker said: "Outside the staff, I have this skin from the cottage is a good color, you see this fur is smooth and shiny, you look at this fox fur, how strong the nitrate is, but some dust only needs to be gently wiped with a burlap cloth dipped in water to be as bright as new."

The thin man took the skin and looked at it, rubbed it and said, "It's okay!" ”

The peddler grinned and said: "That is, although the little old man's stall is not big, but the leather is real, and it will never be like other houses, take some goods to fill the goods, this outsider if you like to buy it, make a leather jacket to wear yourself, or give it to the old lady at home, it is a good reputation!" What do you think? ”

The thin man stroked his beard and nodded: "I bought this leather to wear for the little lady in the family!" ”

The hawker hurriedly said: "That's better, the little lady is young and beautiful, come outside, you look at this again, the red hair of one color is very good-looking, you touch it with your hands, soft and smooth, the little lady at home likes this style the most!" Little Lao'er recommends that you buy this! ”

The thin man stretched out his hand to take the one he recommended, compared the left and right in front of him, thought about it for a long time, and finally chose the red fox skin recommended by the hawker.

"The shopkeeper, just choose this red skin! How much do you say? The thin man looked at him warily.

The peddler smiled and said: "The grandfather is so happy, the little old man is also happy, you have also seen this red skin, it is the last one in my small stall, it is cheaper to sell it to you, how about you look at the consistent two?" ”

"Consistent two!" The thin man glared and said, "No, it's too expensive, you can be cheaper!" ”

The hawker said: "Grandfather, the old man has to find someone to collect the skin in the countryside and it costs a lot of money, and the consistent two is already very cheap, you can go to other houses to ask, such good skins are sold for consistent five!" If you go to that big shop and buy it again, you will have to start at least two dollars! Consistent two is really not expensive! ”

Seeing that the peddler had some truth, the thin man hesitated: "You are fortunate to know, but I still think this price is expensive, you are cheaper, otherwise I will go to another house to buy it!" ”

The peddler said a few more words, and when he saw that the outsider still refused to agree, he gritted his teeth and said: "In this way, grandfather, the little old man will spare another hundred dollars, how about the price?" ”

The thin man's eyes rolled and said, "Why don't you make up a whole number, how about the money?" ”

The peddler shook his head and said, "That's not possible, this price is too much for a little old man!" ”

After finishing speaking, he went to get the red fox skin, and the thin man raised his hand to hide and said: "Little old man, I didn't say I wouldn't buy it, what to take!" ”

The hawker said angrily: "Then how much do you say!" ”

The thin man took out a piece of silver from his arms and said: "I see that you have been standing here for a long time, and you haven't been unable to sell one, I came here to take care of your business, and besides, it's hot and this leather business is going to be difficult to do!" As long as you agree, this tael of silver is yours! ”

The vendor shook his head and said: "No, my skin is already cheap, I can't sell it today, I can sell it tomorrow, I can't sell it when it's hot, so I'll keep it when it's cold and sell it again!" You've always had too little money! ”

Seeing his expression of determination and refusal to give in again, the thin man sighed and said, "Okay, I'll give you another hundred dollars!" ”

The dog saw that the two of them finished their business, walked into the street again, and saw a few more orders of business with their own eyes, and knew the approximate price.

Then he turned back to the hawker and said, "Shopkeeper, the boy inquires about something!" ”

The peddler was arranging the leather again, and when he heard the question, he looked up, and when he saw that it was a little Langjun, he replied: "Little official, what is the matter?" ”

The dog nodded and said, "Boy, there is a raw wolf skin here, I don't know where there is a place on this street to harvest?" ”

The vendors who do business can talk, this and that one talked a lot, and then looked at the wolf skin in the dog's baggage and regretted: "If it is a wolf skin in autumn, the fur on this body will become dark and shiny, and it can definitely be sold for two prices, if the old man is right, you are the wolf you just beat!" ”

The dog immediately replied, "Yes, it's only been a few days since I came back!" ”

The peddler handed the wolf skin to the dog and said, "The wolf skin in spring can't be sold for a big price, and the price of raw skin is only seven or eight yuan!" ”

The dog took the leather and carefully put it into the baggage and said: "The kid doesn't have the time to find someone to make it, as long as the price is about the same, I will sell it!" ”

The peddler sighed and said: "Little official, if you want to make a move on this street, then go to a few big stores, the three fur shops of the Wang family, the Yang family, the Zhang family, the price is fair, and the large goods and small orders are collected, you can go over and have a look!" But don't sell to those small stalls at the door, those people are pushing down the price too much! You're going to lose a lot! ”

The dog thanked the peddler, and went to the three big shops he said with his baggage.
