Chapter 7 Spending money is like running water
Pheasants are naturally a good thing, but this black charcoal is like a little girl......
The shopkeeper's eyes were dripping and rolling, and he immediately counted it in his heart.
"How much does a pheasant weigh?"
"About three or four pounds."
The shopkeeper made an embarrassed look, and then stretched out five fingers: "I see that it's not easy for you to come out and buy things for a little girl, so let's do it, I'll give you the price of one pound and three cents......"
Speaking of this, he paused slightly, raised his hand and pinched the pheasant's head, and said: "Oh, your pheasant is dying, you can't give three cents, at most two cents ......"
Wang Xiao rolled his eyes vigorously, turned his head and left without saying a word.
"Hey, hey, little girl, don't go, Sanwen will be Sanwen......"
Wang Xiao didn't bother to take care of that guy at all, the price of three cents? Then she might as well stew these two pheasants to replenish her nutrition!
It's noon now, and there are people coming and going in Fu Sheng Building, maybe someone heard the word 'pheasant' shouted by the shopkeeper.
Before Wang Xiao could walk away, a shout suddenly came from behind him.
"Wait a minute!"
As the shopkeeper of this Fu Shenglou, Zhang Peng was very busy today, and he was busy settling accounts just now, when he heard someone shouting 'pheasant', he ran out with a cleverness, and just saw Wang Xiao throw two pheasants into the bamboo basket behind him.
"Little girl, the pheasant is yours?"
Wang Xiao stopped and turned his head to look behind him, and saw that the person who came was a middle-aged fat uncle, his eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly.
"I caught the pheasant yesterday on the mountain, but it was a little wilted without feeding, but it was still alive."
She took the basket off her shoulder with great difficulty, and then showed the pheasant to the middle-aged uncle.
Zhang Peng's eyes lit up after seeing the pheasant, he learned some time ago that the young master of the owner was coming here, and he was worried that there was no good thing to entertain, Now he saw the pheasant in the little girl's hand, and said with a wave of his sleeves: "I want it!" ”
He took the pheasant in his hand and weighed it, slightly disappointed: "It's only more than three catties......"
Don't look at Wang Xiao is just a child now, but she still retains her previous memories, and this kind of thing is engraved in her bones.
She saw the man's disappointed look, and hurriedly added, "If you still want it, I still have it here." ”
"How many more?"
Zhang Peng raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Xiao in front of him, although the little girl was dressed a little shabby, but her eyes were very transparent, not like she would cheat.
Wang Xiao thought for a while: "There are pheasants, but they will be delivered in a few days." ”
Pheasants are not like weeds on the side of the road, they can be taken out if they have them, and Wang Xiao has to go to the back mountain to set up a few more traps to have a chance to catch them.
Zhang Pang thought for a moment, and then finalized the business.
"Okay, in a few days, I will give you a price of twenty-five yuan for a pound of pheasants, and your two are less than four catties, I will calculate it for you according to four catties, and give you a hundred cents, how about it?"
Wang Xiao's heart was shocked, but he didn't show a happy look, but groaned.
Obviously, this man wanted to get a few more pheasants from himself, which is why he raised the price so high.
Wang Xiao did not refuse the kindness of the shopkeeper, after all, money is not too much for anyone.
Seeing that Wang Xiaozhi was not surprised and stretched out his hands to take the hundred yuan, Zhang Peng was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just looked at her with a little more appreciation.
"Little girl, be careful when you go back, don't let people see the money in your pocket, otherwise it will be dangerous."
Wang Xiao nodded and bowed politely.
"My surname is Zhang, you can call me Uncle Zhang, next time you come again, just ask the shopkeeper to inform me."
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhang."
After a few words of greeting, Wang Xiao picked up the bamboo basket and turned to leave.
The bamboo basket was empty, and Wang Xiao's whole person was much lighter.
Maybe it's because he has money in his pocket and people have confidence, Wang Xiao suddenly found that there are still many delicious things in this town, such as roast chicken, baked cakes, wontons and so on.
When passing by the roast chicken shop, Wang Xiao twitched her nose greedily, and she couldn't move her steps when she was greedy, but in the end she was not willing to pay for roast chicken, but bought a few meat buns and turned away.
I have to say that the food in this world is really tempting, and for people like Wang Xiao, who eat too much fast food, it is simply delicious in the world.
According to the memories of the previous owner of this body, there was a grocery store not far in front of it, which was equivalent to a modern department store, which not only had fried rice, oil and salt, but also daily utensils such as pots and pans.
Of course, these things can be bought elsewhere, but not as cheaply as here.
After stuffing the remaining bun into his mouth and chewing vigorously for a while, Wang Xiao walked into the grocery store.
"Little girl, what do you need to buy?"
The guy in the store didn't look down like the little second man in Fu Shenglou, but asked Wang Xiao in a calm tone.
"Brother, I want to buy some coarse grains."
"Coarse grains," the shopkeeper nodded with a smile, and then walked towards the shop with Wang Xiao.
"This is yellow rice noodles, one penny a catty, millet two pennies a catty, rice costs five wen, and white flour costs thirty wen."
Wang Xiao thought for a while, and then stretched out a hand: "Then I'll buy five catties of millet and three catties of yellow rice noodles." ”
"Oh, I didn't expect to meet a little rich man!"
The shopkeeper was taken aback, smiled and quipped, "Little girl, are you sure you want to buy so much?" ”
Wang Xiao nodded, and did not explain too much, but turned elsewhere, and then asked the shopkeeper to help him weigh three catties of salt.
She originally wanted to buy some aged vinegar and rapeseed oil, but she didn't bring bottles and cans when she went out today.
She was about to give up, but suddenly saw that there were still cans sold in this grocery store, so she slapped her thigh directly and bought two more porcelain bottles.
In addition to this, she bought a basin to wash her face.
The one at home is so dirty, I don't know how many generations have been using it, Wang Xiao feels disgusting just by looking at it.
The bits and pieces were almost bought, and Wang Xiao asked the shopkeeper to wrap up everything and put it in his bamboo basket.
The shopkeeper crackled the abacus, looked up and said with a smile: "There are a total of thirteen wen for grain, seventeen wen for salt and rapeseed oil, plus the two porcelain bottles and wooden basins you bought, a total of forty-five wen." ”
Wang Xiao nodded, and after verifying the amount in his heart, he took out the money and settled the account.
Seeing that Wang smiled at a little girl who didn't drag things in the slightest, the shopkeeper smiled even more happily, and told the little girl to be careful on the road before going out.
Just by buying these bits and pieces, Wang Xiao had already spent half of the money she earned today, which made her feel a little distressed.
But it can't be helped, some things can be saved, and some things must be bought.
