Chapter 7: Selling Snakes in the Town
Lotus Town is not small, Shutong walked and strolled, and finally entered a pharmacy, poisonous snakes, this kind of thing, should be accepted here!
From the moment the door opened, there were already customers in the pharmacy who had come to grab medicine, and the errand boy had just sent off a customer when he saw a child in tattered clothes walk in.
"Let's go! This is a pharmacy, not a place to play! The young man frowned, spread his hands, and wanted to bang people.
Shu Tong didn't say a word, regardless of the disgust on the young man's face, and poured out the poisonous snake with the thickness of an adult's arm in the bamboo basket.
"Oops! What a big snake! ”
The young man was startled, and the screams frightened the guests at the door, and they all panicked and avoided one after another.
"Don't be nervous, it's dead!"
Shu Tong explained, no wonder everyone was panicking, the neck of the poisonous snake was pinched off by her bare hands, because it was taken out of the space, the color was still bright, and it looked very scary.
"Dead?"
The young man saw that the colorful lump did not move, and cautiously stepped forward.
My goodness! This is a highly poisonous five-step snake! It's so big, he still sees it for the first time.
Shu Tong smiled, "You can't accept it here!" ”
The young man was just about to speak, when he saw the shopkeeper coming out of it, and hurriedly greeted, "Shopkeeper!" Someone sells vipers, come and see! ”
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was a slightly chubby middle-aged man, who walked out quickly after hearing the movement, and when he saw the five-step snake on the ground, he also took a breath and stood still.
Shu Tong raised his foot and kicked the dead snake lightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! It's dead! ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, took a closer look at the poisonous snake, looked up at Shutong again, and finally nodded with satisfaction, "Little girl, how are you going to sell this thing?" ”
Shu Tong didn't know the price of goods in ancient times, and the original owner was also a child who didn't ask about the world, so he said, "My father is hunting, this kind of thing can be caught in the future, it's better for the boss to make a price, if it is suitable, come to your house in the future!" ”
Although he doesn't understand prices, Dredging is not stupid.
"I see!" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, it was indeed impossible for such a young child to catch such a big poisonous snake, and said with a smile: "This snake is very complete, in this way, I will give you five taels of silver, how about it?" “
Shutong didn't know what the price was, but he still deliberately hesitated.
"Five taels?"
Seeing that she didn't nod for a long time, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Otherwise, I'll add some and give you eight taels, but let's say okay, and if there are such goods in the future, they will be sent to me!" ”
Shu Tong smiled secretly and nodded happily, "Okay!" ”
After getting the silver, Shutong went straight to the steamed bun shop outside, which she had long been optimistic about, "Boss, give me five steamed buns!" ”
"How much?" The boss was stunned, and saw two pieces of broken silver, one large and one small, placed in front of him, estimated to be seven or eight taels.
"Okay, good, Wulong buns, right away!" The face of the boss of the bun also smiled like a meat bun.
It seemed that the money was enough, and Shutong sat down with peace of mind.
Soon the steaming buns were served, and the five-layer cage drawer covered the little girl's body tightly.
Shutong picked up the bamboo chopsticks, shook off her cheeks and ate it, her small mouth was not big, the speed was extremely fast, and she was two mouthfuls of the big buns of adults, and quickly eliminated the three cages.
"Oops! Little girl, you can't eat any more! "The boss was horrified at first glance.
"This bun in my house is big, and if you eat too much, you will break it!"
The boss wants to make money, but he's afraid of accidents! My bun is big, ten in one cage, thirty in three cages, and I don't have such a big appetite for a big man.
This kid is skinny, so edible? Even if you have money, you have to take it easy, who is it to go back and support the dead?
Shu Tong also realized that his big appetite was scary, and nodded: "Okay, I won't eat it, you can pack these for me!" Wait, two more cages! ”
"Howler!" The boss saw that she didn't eat it, so he packed four steamed buns with confidence and carefully wrapped them in big lotus leaves.
"Girl, a total of one hundred and seventy-five yuan, if you buy more, you will receive one hundred and seventy yuan!"
Shu Tong didn't know how to convert ancient money, and picked up a piece of broken silver, and the boss shook his head, "That's five taels, I can't find this small business!" ”
He chose a small one, and gave her a piece of broken silver and a pile of copper plates.
"Girl! This is looking for you! Put it away! ”
Shu Tong smiled, it seems that ancient silver can buy a lot of things!
Put the money into the gray purse given by the pharmacy owner and put it in his arms, and Shu Tong looked at the tattered bamboo basket at his feet with disgust.
"Boss, do you have a bamboo basket, I want to buy one!"
I can't put the bun into the space in front of everyone, so I have to make a mess.
"You want to buy a bamboo basket, there is one at the mouth of the alley behind, I'll call someone for you!"
The owner of the bun shop turned around and shouted, "Lao Li, someone wants to buy a bamboo basket, pick up the one and send one!" ”
Immediately, a thin old man came with a new bamboo basket, "Boss, what do you think of this?" ”
Shu Tong saw that the bamboo basket was very strong, and put the packed bun in it with a smile, "How much?" ”
As soon as the old man was about to speak, he was preempted by the owner of the bun shop and said, "Five copper plates!" ”
Shu Tong didn't hesitate, and counted five copper plates, "Thank you!" ”
Picked up the big bamboo basket and left.
The old man who sold the bamboo basket looked at the five copper plates in his palm, and wondered, "Brother Li, the price is going to be high, we can't pit a child!" ”
The owner of the steamed bun shop glared at him, "I can't open the pot in my own house, your kid is still hungry, and he is still in the mood to pay attention to others, don't look at the tattered clothes of that girl, she has money in her hand, and I bought a bun for 170 yuan!" ”
Old man Li knew that the other party was helping his family, and when he saw the little girl who was far away, he muttered to himself, "If I meet someone in the future, I will send a better bamboo basket, even if we are poor, we can't lose our conscience!" ”
Shu Tong, who walked out how far, was a stranger, his ears and eyes were clear, and his body was suddenly stunned, and he turned back.
"Old man, do you have a smaller bamboo basket, this one is too big!"
The old man panicked, clutched the copper coin in his hand, and stammered, "It's all the same size, I, I'll return the money to you!" ”
Shu Tong found that he was really an honest man, and said with a smile: "Why don't you make one for me, as long as it is half the size of this, it is suitable for me to use!" ”
The old man hesitated, and Shu Tong had already stuffed him with a handful of copper coins, "My bamboo basket is specially customized, these are wages, how long can it be done!" ”
The boss of the bun pushed the stunned old man and said in his place: "It's very fast, it doesn't take an hour to get it for you!" ”
The old man came back to his senses and nodded desperately.
"Okay, I'll get it later!" Shu Tong waved his hand and left again.
"Brother Li, I didn't dream!" The old man looked at the dozen copper plates in his palm.
"What are you still stunned about, hurry up and get a beautiful little bamboo basket, you! Today is the time to meet a good person! ”
Shutong walked to a secluded place and threw the bun with a bamboo basket into the space, and the food must be kept fresh in time!
Looking at his tattered clothes, Shu Tong pouted in disgust, chose a ready-to-wear shop and walked in.
