Chapter 14: Two Sweet Potatoes

"Damn! So expensive?! ”

Miao Miaomiao originally wanted to go into the theater to listen to the play to relieve her boredom, and by the way, she asked about something, but when she asked the ticket price, she almost scared her soul.

A position in the last row actually costs two hundred and fifty taels of silver!

Obediently, which famous actor is this?

"Is that too expensive?" The scalper brother pursed his lips and shook her with a ticket, "I'm afraid you haven't seen the scene of our first golden voice singing in Mi County, that is why thousands of people are empty, full of seats, and it is difficult to find a ticket!" Don't say it's two hundred and fifty taels of silver~ Even if it's two hundred and fifty taels of gold, someone will rob it! ”

Feelings, this is just a small role's field, and the price is so big~

It seems that those who want to listen to the drama here are either rich or expensive.

Otherwise, who can afford to pay for it?

Thinking of this, Miao Miaomiao didn't plan to go into the theater to listen to the play, so she spent five dollars on the side of the road to buy two roasted sweet potatoes, and gave one to the scalper.

The old brother was stunned and had sweet potatoes: "What are you doing?" ”

"On such a cold day, isn't it cold to stand in the wind? Give you a sweet potato to warm your hands. ”

As soon as Miao Miaomiao finished speaking, the scalper's tears instantly swirled in his eyes, and he sniffed: "Except for my mother, you are the first silver ...... to be so good to me."

Miao Miaomiao listened, good guy, a sweet potato moved people's hometown accents.

She asked where he was from, and it didn't seem to be a Mijun accent.

The scalper wiped his face and wiped all the carbon ash on the roasted sweet potatoes.

It turned out that he had come from a small rural village in the north.

Since I was a child, I heard that Mi County is richer than Jiangnan, and the money is easy to earn, and several of their fellow villagers who came to Mi County to earn money have made a fortune, and they have also brought their families over to enjoy the happiness.

So he was also tempted, as the eldest son of the family, he naturally wanted to pick up the burden of the family, so he followed his fellow villagers here.

"It's been more than three years since I came here...... I never went home once...... Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, I'm afraid I won't have a chance again this year......"

Looking at him like this, Miao Miaomiao was also strange: "You should have saved a lot of money in the past three years, why don't you take the time to go home and have a look?" ”

He can resell two hundred and fifty taels of a ticket, and she doesn't believe that there are not a few points of profit in the middle.

How can you resell tickets for three years and make enough money to build a house in your hometown, right?

The scalper shook his head bitterly: "Little boy, you shouldn't be a local, right?" I advise you, while you are still clean, and leave by boat as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow...... This place is not for people to stay in! ”

Miao Miaomiao was confused.

The price of goods in this rice county is indeed ridiculously expensive, but she also found that the income of people here is not low, and there is a month's income for the same job in other places every day.

How could such a place seem to be another world in the mouths of the master and the scalper?

"Huang Da! How can you eat sweet potatoes so leisurely and elegantly? How many tickets have been sold? ”

An opportune voice rang out.

Miao Miaomiao obviously felt the body of the man next to her tremble.

She looked up and saw three people standing in front of her.

A gorgeously dressed young man with two mustaches was followed by two thugs.

"Bai, Baiye!" The scalper brother immediately stood up, took out three tickets from his arms, and respectfully handed them over, "The position in the front row, specially left for you ......"

After one of the thugs took the ticket, the mustachioed man tapped the scalper brother on the shoulder with the fan, which was worth a lot of money at first glance: "Today's interest is waived." ”

The scalper seemed to be relieved, and immediately thanked him with gratitude.

Miao Miaomiao looked at the clouds: "Your three VIP tickets are worth one day's interest?" How much do you owe? ”

Her tickets in the last row are 250 taels, and how can three VIP tickets be 1,000 taels?!

The interest will cost more than 1,000 taels a day, this old brother is really bullish!

The scalper sighed helplessly, saying that he didn't understand anything when he first came to Mijun three years ago, and was deceived by someone, so he borrowed a lot of silver from the Bai family, and the high interest pressure made him have to work hard.

But in the past three years, the interest has been increasing, and there is no end in sight.

After eating the sweet potato, Miao Miaomiao clapped her hands and prepared to leave, but the scalper stopped her and gave her a ticket.

"Little boy, I have a good relationship with you, you invite me to eat sweet potatoes, I invite you to watch the play!"
