Chapter 17: The First Pot of Gold
In the lively bazaar, Chen Xi stood in the crowd and shouted loudly.
"Don't miss it when you pass by, here is the exclusive secret braised meat, as long as it is twenty-five Wen, you can't buy it at a loss and you can't buy it......"
The voice is loud and halfway through, but he forgets what the next sentence is.
It doesn't matter, though.
Chen Xi said what he had just said again.
The fresh word quickly caught the attention of many people.
But when they hear the price, many people turn away.
A middle-aged woman came up to her and said, "Girl, what are you made of?" It's so expensive! ”
"Auntie, I'm a pheasant on the mountain, braised meat, the price of the pheasant is not cheap, plus so many materials, twenty wen is not expensive at all, otherwise you can buy some and try it!"
"No, it's too expensive, I can't afford it, it's better to buy some meat and make it yourself!"
The eldest lady waved her hand again and again, and walked to the side, how could Chen Xi let him leave, she directly pulled his arm and said, "If the eldest lady is not at ease, you can taste it first!" ”
She took out a piece of meat and handed it over with a smile on her face.
The eldest lady saw Chen Xi put the meat in her mouth so sincerely, and finally her eyes flashed with surprise.
"Your girl is so good, not only is the meat not hard, this taste is simply unique, although it is expensive, but also give me a catty!"
"Okay, let's take a look, my meat is the only one, I can't buy it, I can't buy it, I can't buy it......"
Chen Xi helped the eldest lady pack meat, and his mouth was not idle.
Novelty words cause many people to stop, and the high price also makes many people regress.
But fortunately, it has already begun.
Everything was difficult at the beginning, after Chen Xi helped the eldest lady to load the meat, a few more people came to ask, they didn't buy Chen Xi because it was too expensive, and they also let them try it, and then they willingly took out the money to buy it.
In less than half an hour, the entire twenty catties of meat were sold out.
Oh my!
It's amazing.
Chen Xi squatted on the ground with Venus in his eyes, and counted the copper plates over and over again A catty of meat was sold for twenty-five catties.
That's five hundred wen, half a tael of silver.
Since crossing over, Chen Xi has never seen silver.
This was his first pot of gold, and his eyes were completely slitted with laughter.
"This is a good start, is there any egg seller in our village, it is estimated that eggs can be sold well!"
Through today, Chen Xi knows that there are many people here who can't afford to eat meat at all, so even if they like it, they can't.
But eggs are different......
One penny can buy two eggs.
When the time comes, if you put eggs and meat together, you can sell them for one penny, and I believe that they will sell very well.
Just do it!
Chen Xi was full of motivation, and when he returned to the village, he began to ask for eggs from door to door.
It's a pity that the teacher is not good!
Because I was not familiar with the road, the first person to ask was Zhang Ailian's house.
"Yo, what a lazy woman, the people in the village raise their own chickens and eat eggs, but you have to buy eggs everywhere!"
It's still that nasty look.
Chen Xi didn't say a word, and turned around and left directly.
She heard a sneering voice coming from behind her and ignored it.
walked a distance, because Yang Tinghan's family was surrounded by four walls and was penniless, so every time Chen Xi said his intentions, the other party directly sent Chen Xi out.
Is this money that can't be spent?
Chen Xi returned home with great interest, and as soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped in the way.
"Yo, I heard that you went to buy eggs today, I didn't say you, it's not easy for you to make money, you can't spend money like this, don't talk about eating eggs now, it's good to be full, can't be too hypocritical!"
"Huh!" Chen Xi was exhausted and didn't want to waste time on boring people.
She went back to her room and lay limped on the bed.
Yang Tinghan walked in and frowned, "Didn't buy eggs?" ”
It's a question, but it's in an affirmative tone.
Chen Xi nodded helplessly.
"Leave it to me!"
Yang Tinghan said and carried the basket up the mountain again.
It was getting dark, Chen Xi made dinner, waited for Yang Tinghan, and saw him come back and stuffed the frame into Chen Xi's hand, "Oh my God, this is an egg!" And it's a wild egg! ”
"Hmm!"
Would you die if you say one more word?
Chen Xi rolled his eyes, then quickly cleaned the egg and threw it into the pot.
The night was long, and I smelled the fragrance in the air.
In the dark, Yang Tinghan opened his eyes, his eyes were extremely sharp.
He took advantage of the faint moonlight to look at Chen Xi, who was sleeping sweetly, his small nose was covered by the flesh on both sides of his cheeks, and his bright black eyes were squeezed into a slit by the flesh.
The next day, Chen Xi got up from the bed early, looked at the fog, and rushed to the scene.
"Girl, you're here, someone came to buy it after you left yesterday, and it's estimated that you'll be back in a while!"
"Really!" Hearing the words of the aunt on the side, Chen Xi smiled, "It's really good!" ”
Sure enough, Chen Xi had just prepared, and before he could sell, a man came over, "Hello, I'm the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou, I heard that you also sell lo-mei here, can we talk!" ”
Talk, of course.
The shopkeeper in front of him was none other than Yang Tinghan's shopkeeper who sold his prey.
Chen Xi had a good impression of him, and said with a smile, "You know the head of my family, if you have anything to say, you are welcome!" ”
"The lady is bold, since you have said it, I will not beat around the bush, your braised meat yesterday I added a guy to buy some, tasted it, I think it is very good, I don't know if you can make a little more here, and then send it to Tianxianglou, the price is the same as what you sell!"
A man sits at home and money comes down from heaven.
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper of Tianxianglou, Chen Xi's eyes lit up, "I can do as much as you want, but you also know that pheasants and hares are limited, and if you want more, you have to buy pork, and the cost is ......."
"Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you badly, if it is pork, how about thirty yuan, help us send 50 catties tomorrow, with pork."
Chen Xi's mind quickly turned around, and he nodded with a lot of profits.
This is a good start, as soon as the shopkeeper left, many people came to buy braised pork.
Chen Xi prepared twenty catties of braised pork and thirty eggs.
After all the things were sold, Chen Xi looked at the copper plate in his hand and couldn't stop laughing.
"Let's hurry up and buy pork first!"
Chen Xi didn't stop for a moment, came to the pork stall, and asked for fifty catties of pork in one go.
Because Chen Xi bought a lot, he originally had 25 wen a catty, but the bargaining price was 20 wen.
On the way back, the two saw an ox cart at the city gate.
"Let's take an ox cart back today!"
To be honest, Chen Xi's body has been able to persist in the past two days is already the limit.
She was so exhausted every day that she fell asleep in bed.
Now that I have made money and have the conditions, of course I want to enjoy it.
However, Chen Xi soon regretted it.
Because the ox cart was too slow, and Chen Xi was surprised to find himself motion sick.
