Zhou Zhi glanced at the old man, and saw that his black jacket was very fresh, and concluded that it should be a person like a housekeeper of a rich family. Most of the people who just bought those vegetables are middle-class and upper-class families in Gaochang Town, and there are very few rich families like housekeepers. Zhou Zhi's mind moved, and he made up his mind.

Fan Jin just saw the whole process of Zhou Zhi's selling vegetables, the higher the price, but people were scrambling to buy it, and at this time Fan Jin gradually understood the truth. Yes, Zhou Zhi's green leafy vegetables are unique in the harsh winter.

But in such a season, there are many people who want to eat fresh vegetables, so isn't the right to set prices all over to Zhou Zhi?

Fan Jin knew that Zhou Zhi's family was poor, so he naturally hoped that Zhou Zhi could earn more money. He knew the old man in front of him and knew that he was a big customer, but he couldn't clearly say that he wanted to ask for a price that was thoughtful and ruthless.

Fan Jin couldn't help but feel anxious, so he said aloud to the old man, "Oh, isn't this the great butler Cheng?" Why do you have to go shopping today? ”

"Huh! What is Fan Xiucai doing here? Don't you want to buy some fresh vegetables? The great butler Cheng bowed his hand slightly towards Fan Jin.

Don't look at Fan Jin as a showman with a high status, he is just a housekeeper, but he doesn't respect Fan Jin so much.

Fan Jin didn't care, and said with a smile, "This is a little brother I know, he came to the town to sell vegetables, so I came over to help take care of it." ”

After speaking, he introduced to Zhou Zhi, "Brother Zhou Zhixian, this is the Cheng steward of the Cheng family in Gaochang Town, hehe!" He and I have known each other for a long time, but I can't sell vegetables to him. ”

Fan Jin said as he secretly glanced at Zhou. The meaning is obvious, it is to slaughter him carefully.

I heard that it was Cheng Daju's housekeeper, and Zhou Zhi secretly increased the price several times.

Speaking of which, Zhou Zhi and Cheng Ke Cheng Daju don't know each other, but Li Zhenzhen, the only daughter of the tavern proprietor's family, that Zhang Yong fell in love with, was taken away by Cheng Ke's third son, and Zhou Zhi didn't have a good impression of Cheng Daju. What Zhou Zhi thought to himself was that the person who made Zhang Yongge suffer and was deflated was not an enemy but also an enemy.

Zhou Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Since this old man and Brother Fan are familiar with each other, naturally the price can't be high, just two hundred dollars a catty!" ”

When Fan Jin heard this, his heart almost jumped out, ruthless! Brother Zhi is really ruthless this week, I signaled to you to raise the price, but you made a sky-high price, how can this be sold?

Steward Cheng was also taken aback, his face turned red, and he said, "The old man asked the person who bought the vegetables just now, isn't it one hundred and fifty Wen and two catties?" How can I sell it to the old man now for two hundred yuan a catty? ”

Zhou Zhi's face was as usual, and he said, "Don't you know this old man, the kid did sell one hundred and fifty two bundles just now, but didn't someone decide to buy all these vegetables just now?" The boy sees that he always doesn't come, so he wants to sell it to the old man, if it is the same price, why don't the boy wait for the man to come?

This grocery shopping also has to be a first-come, first-served basis, right? If the kid sells it at a slightly higher price, I think it's the guy who found the kid just now, doesn't the kid have something to say? ”

Although the explanation is far-fetched, it can be justified in the end. But this price increase is an exponential increase, how can people bear it.

Steward Cheng hesitated for a moment.

Zhou Zhi smiled, "Uncle, it's okay, if you don't buy the kid, just wait for that person to come back." ”

"This ...... Could this be cheaper? Steward Cheng asked.

"I can't do that." Zhou Zhi gave him an apologetic smile and said.

Steward Cheng hesitated again, and finally asked, "How much do you have now?" ”

Zhou Zhi slowly lifted the quilt, counted them, and said, "It's not much, there are seven bundles of spinach, and there are only six bundles of celery left?" ”

"It's not enough, the old man still thinks you still have a lot of miles, too little, too little." Steward Cheng shook his hand, stunned.

"What? Uncle, how much did you buy? Zhou Zhi's eyes lit up and asked.

"Of course, there are too many things, and there are two more days at home to do a happy event, and there are a lot of vegetables like this needed for a banquet." Steward Cheng was obviously in no mood at this time, and he was about to leave as he spoke.

As soon as he remembered that Cheng Sangongzi was going to marry Li Zhenzhen, the girl that Brother Zhang Yongge had a crush on, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel a little blocked. glanced at Steward Cheng and said, "If the old man wants more, there will be more in the kid's field." But......" Zhou Zhi looked at Steward Cheng, observed his face, and stopped talking.

"But what?"

"But the price is going to be higher, three hundred wen a catty."

"Why is the price going up again?" Steward Cheng was obviously angry and asked loudly.

"The old man is angry, this vegetable is not planted much, if the old man wants more, the kid's vegetable field will be gone. The kid also planned to leave it a few years ago and sell it for a good price, but it was more expensive than the three hundred wen a catty. Zhou Zhi frowned and said reluctantly.

Steward Cheng also saw that this week's price was sky-high, but there was no way, who let him be the only one to have this kind of fresh vegetables, besides, in this cold winter, entertaining guests and friends with such fresh vegetables can show that the Cheng family is different. Knowing that he was slaughtered, he had to be next to him.

But he is a housekeeper after all, although he was ordered by the head of the family to buy these two vegetables just now, but he bought vegetables at such a sky-high price, and he was really worried about being scolded by the Cheng family, so he stood there for a while, unable to make up his mind.

But at this time, the pen appeared. Cheng Ke, Cheng Cheng's third son, Cheng Dingye, swayed his two little short legs, and got out of nowhere.

This guy has pockmarked pits all over his face, his hair is still a little yellow, and his body is short, three inches more than the three-inch nails.

He walked up to Steward Cheng, raised his neck, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Cheng Lao Wu, how can I buy a vegetable and spend all this effort?" The day after tomorrow is the big day of this young master, and there are many things waiting for you to arrange at home. ”

Steward Cheng Lao Wu saw him, immediately lowered his body, and said, "Third Young Master, isn't this a bargain to buy vegetables?" The price of the vegetables he sells is too high. ”

"High? What kind of high law? Cheng Dingye asked.

"Celery and spinach are three hundred dollars a pound." Cheng Lao Wu said busily.

Cheng Dingye's short and stubby neck said, "Is three hundred Wen too much?" This son's plan for a happy event is fresh, and entertaining guests and friends with such vegetables in the harsh winter shows the nobility of my Cheng family. Cheng Lao Wu, don't you even understand this?

Can't my huge Cheng family even afford to buy vegetables? Hum! My father is Cheng Ke, the only person in Gaochang Town, and the Cheng family has nothing else, just a lot of silver. Hey, I said Cheng Lao Wu, could it be that you feel that his dish is expensive, and you are thinking about not getting benefits from it, right? ”

"What's the matter? What's the matter? Cheng Laowu's face blushed and explained busily.

Zhou Zhi and Fan Jin watched this scene, and the two couldn't help but laugh secretly in their hearts. Especially Fan Jin, the heart said, how can there be such a person as Cheng Dingye in the world! 纨绔, authentic 纨绔. You don't want to think about how much pork costs a pound, this dish is ten times more expensive than pork.

Yes, at this time, pork can only buy a pound for a dozen yuan.

But Zhou Zhi was remorseful at this time, miscalculated, and knew that he would encounter a bad pen like Cheng Dingye, how could it be more expensive.
