Chapter 22 Lucky
"Well, it's a fox I hunted in the mountains, and I haven't had time to deal with it yet, but the fur is beautiful." Sun Chen was taken aback by his loud voice.
"Take it out and let us both see."
After Sun Chen took out the fox, even the fat sister-in-law who was weighing the rabbit exclaimed, "Oh, this fox's coat color is really beautiful!" ”
The fox that Sun Chen hit, its fur is reddish-brown with a little orange, this color is very popular with some rich women, although there is still blood stains on it that have not been cleaned up, but it can still make people like it at a glance. The feel to the touch is plump and elastic, and it is particularly smooth, which is definitely a rare top grade.
"Fat sister-in-law, I can't see that you are still quite knowledgeable as a housekeeper!" Uncle Tong joked with her.
"Of course, although we haven't worn this dress made of fox fur, we haven't seen it. On our wife alone, I saw that she had changed several pieces! Look at this color, it is brighter than the color of the mink collar on the shoulder that my wife wore when she came home for the Chinese New Year last year! ”
"Indeed," Uncle Tong touched a few sparse beards on his chin, "Fat sister-in-law, you said that if you let your wife see the color of this fox's coat, you must not give Ah Chen a high price?" ”
"That's a must!" The fat sister-in-law's eyes were almost invisible because of the flesh on her face, and she couldn't see it even more when she smiled, "Didn't she also instruct Steward Qiu to help her keep an eye on her beautiful fur last time when she went back to the house?!" ”
"Then you wait here for a while, and I'll go and ask Steward Qiu."
"That's a good relationship, thank you uncle." Sun Chen thanked happily, "Thank you fat sister-in-law~"
"Thank me, I didn't do anything." The fat sister-in-law waved her hand absently.
Uncle Tong said that he would do it, and immediately turned around and went.
Sun Chen is kind, he has gotten along well with them during this time, and his uncle and fat sister-in-law are willing to help him, not to mention that it is just a matter of a sentence on his lips.
After more than half an hour, Steward Qiu was late. However, Sun Chen had no complaints about this, because he knew that he was the busiest person in this mansion. The old lady in the house likes to ask him to do anything on weekdays, of course, these are all told to him by the fat sister-in-law.
He just came in to sell things, and if it weren't for the fact that this fox fur had to be seen before he could collect it, he wouldn't have come to ask about such a trivial matter as buying things!
"Show me your fox." Steward Qiu had a serious face, and many people who met him for the first time would be jealous of him. But just now, the fat sister-in-law had secretly told Sun Chen that he was cold-faced and warm-hearted, and he had never felt sorry for them.
So Sun Chen wasn't too nervous, carefully took out the fox, and then stood quietly aside for him to check for himself.
After settling the account with the fat sister-in-law just now, Sun Chen had already borrowed a place to scrub his fur simply, and without the cover of those blood stains, the fox fur looked even brighter.
"Well, yes, yes." Steward Qiu nodded while looking at it, "How much do you want to sell?" ”
"I don't know what the price of this thing is, Steward Qiu, just look at it and give it, how much will not make me suffer!" Sun Chen replied to him neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Hearing him say this, Steward Qiu took his eyes off the fox and glanced at Sun Chen, and said with satisfaction, this is still a person who has seen things through.
"I won't bluff you, furs like this will be sold for at least six or seven taels of silver in the county, your fox fur is bright, and the price will probably only be higher. But those are all good skins from the master who is in charge of the nitrate skin, and the salary for the master alone costs one or two silver. Steward Qiu said everything in front, and gave a more fair price after considering it, "I won't hide it from you, if my wife takes a fancy to it here today, the price may be higher than the one I gave you, I can only pay eight taels of silver, and we will go to the master to find the master to sell it, are you still willing to sell it?" ”
"Yes." Sun Chen nodded, he didn't expect the price given by Steward Qiu to be so high, he was very satisfied, he was really lucky today!
"Then leave this fox behind! In the future, if there is other game, even if it is sent to our Qin Mansion, I will ask them to accept what you bring first every time! I didn't expect the young man in front of him to agree so happily, and Steward Qiu thought that he would be arguing with him for a while, so he handed Sun Chen eight taels of silver and promised him.
This fox fur is of the highest quality, and his wife will definitely like it when she sees it, and the price she is willing to give him is at least a dozen taels, but because of the limitations of her authority, she still ruthlessly lowered his price slightly.
"Thank you, Steward Qiu, for taking care of you." Sun Chen bent down slightly towards him, picked up the basket and greeted the uncle and fat sister-in-law who were busy on the side, and then left from the back door of the Qin Mansion.
On this trip up the mountain alone, he actually got eight taels of silver plus one hundred and fifty-six copper plates, not only was the money enough to buy a bow and arrows for Uncle Tie Li, but his family's savings could also reach ten taels or more, so that even if the mountain was closed by heavy snow in winter, he could no longer go hunting, and he would not have to worry about running out of money to spend.
went to the blacksmith shop to buy a bow and arrow, Sun Chen also asked the Lei brothers for a sack, carefully packed the bow and arrow, and carried it to the pork stall.
"Brother Jiang, cut two catties of pork belly for me, and then ask for two pig's trotters and two pork ribs!"
"Hey, good!" Pork Jiang chatted with Sun Chen while cutting the meat, "Ah Chen, you are so willing to eat today, are you rich again?" ”
Modern society is rich in materials, Sun Chen has never suffered in food, he has always bought what he wants, and he has never believed in the saying that any money is saved.
In the past few months, he has some money in his hands, and naturally he will not treat himself and his sister badly, and often come here to buy some meat to eat, and the brother and sister are a lot fatter than before they were separated, coupled with non-stop exercise, they are finally no longer so thin.
"Hehe, where is there any wealth, but I can barely fill my stomach!" Sun Chen smiled, "Brother Jiang, you have to give me the back hooves of this pig's trotters, don't bluff me with the front hooves~"
The meat on the hind hooves is thicker, and it is also chewy and chewy, and Sun Chen and his sister both like it.
"You boy! When didn't I leave it for you? ”
"Hehe~ Brother Jiang is good!"
Pork Jiang strung the pork with hemp rope, and then tied the pig's trotters and pork ribs to Sun Chen, before reaching out to take the thirty copper plates handed by Sun Chen.
"You kid will have a great future at a glance, don't forget to take care of your Brother Jiang's business when the time comes!"
"It must be, Brother Jiang, I'll go first." Sun Chen was playing with him.
Every time Sun Chen came to buy meat, Pork Jiang would definitely say this sentence, which made Erniu discuss it with him in private, and he didn't know where he saw it.
Sun Chen smiled, it was just a compliment that Pork Jiang said when he saw that he bought meat a little more often than others.
