There is a lot of grass used to rub ropes in the countryside, and after a while, the two of them picked up so much grass, Su Miaoqing's heart moved, and Brother Rui, who was walking with her, disappeared in front of her.

Su Miaoqing quickened her pace and trotted slightly, thinking about getting to town early.

After trotting for more than an hour, I finally arrived in town.

The name of this town is Qingshan Town, and the name is simple, but there is a big Qingshan behind the town. It is said to be a town, but it is also a more luxurious place than the village, similar to a modern village and town, and it feels a bit like an urban-rural junction. In this place, there are not even county officials, and the place where there is a government office is even farther away, called the county seat, and that is the real city.

Su Miaoqing found a place with few people and released Brother Rui, and the two of them went to the place where they rented a mule cart to rent a car, more than 300 catties of tiger meat, if they didn't use the mule cart to pull it, they wouldn't be able to move, they couldn't go to the restaurant to conjure it up, in that case, they wouldn't have to sell meat, the two of them would definitely be killed as monsters or something.

The mule was very obedient, and after carrying all the meat into the car, Tong Rui also sat on the back board, and Su Miaoqing acted as the coachman.

Walking along the most crowded place, you will soon see a restaurant that looks very large.

Su Miaoqing stopped the car and walked in with Tong Rui. Because it's not yet time for lunch, the stools in the restaurant are still on the table, and the whole store looks very spacious. The shopkeeper leaned listlessly on the counter, and when he saw the two of them walking in, he hurriedly cheered up and stepped forward to entertain.

"Two customers, the shop hasn't started to welcome customers yet, see if it's waiting?"

Tong Rui said: "We are here to sell things, and we bother the second brother to invite someone who can call the shots to take a look." ”

The shopkeeper looked at the two of them, this man and a woman look like they are obviously half-grown children, what business can they do, even if they have doubts in their hearts, this little two did not express it, many years of experience in the second child told him, you can't just look at the surface and draw conclusions, and although these two children are wearing simple and simple foreheads, and there are patches on the clothes on their bodies, but looking at the temperament of the two, it doesn't feel like a dirt bun in the countryside.

"Wait a minute, two guests, I'll go tell our shopkeeper."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he walked into the counter, lifted the blue curtain and walked in. Su Miaoqing took a look at it, it turned out that there was a hole behind this counter, it should be where the shopkeeper lived

After a while, the shopkeeper ran out, followed by a middle-aged man with a kind face and a stocky figure, looking at the clothes, he must be the shopkeeper of this restaurant.

"Two little guests, what do you want to sell?" asked the shopkeeper.

"Dare to ask the shopkeeper's noble surname" Tong Rui stepped forward and asked without panic.

"You don't dare to be a noble surname, a small surname is money, and everyone says that the money is in charge." The money shopkeeper replied with a smile, this kid is not very old, and the stability and composure on his body are not bad.

"Money shopkeeper, we are here to sell tiger meat. The amount is not small, I don't know if the money shopkeeper can eat it. Tong Rui said.

Su Miaoqing saw Tong Rui deal with it calmly, he really didn't look like a kid who grew up in the countryside, his temperament was not like it, and he didn't look like it, if he changed into a good dress, the young master of a big family would be afraid that he would not be able to compare, listening to his conversation with the money shopkeeper, there was a faint hint of domineering, which made people feel that they could rely on it, yes, that's how it feels.

The money shopkeeper looked at the two people, they were not well dressed, but when they stopped here, they gave people a feeling that could not be ignored. Looking at the fabric style of the clothes, you can know that the family background of these two people is very poor. Look at this little girl again, although she hangs her head slightly, but the temperament on her body cannot be faked, it feels no worse than everyone's ladies, and there is a faint kind of extravagance that is not something that Miss Boudoir can have.

The "Tiger Meat" money shopkeeper raised his eyebrows, if it was true, it would be a good thing, "I don't know what the two little guests are called"

Tong Rui said: "My surname is Tong, and my single name is a Rui character." This is my daughter-in-law. ”

As soon as Su Miaoqing heard Tong Rui's words, her face turned uncontrollably red, this guy, who looks the size of a child, actually told others so confidently that he was his mother, this money shopkeeper is like a human spirit, and Su Miaoqing couldn't help but look up, but found that the money shopkeeper nodded, and there was no suspicion at all. Su Miaoqing didn't know that the young masters of many big families in the town got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

"Brother Rui." The money shopkeeper smiled, "I don't know where your tiger meat is"

"The money shopkeeper is on the mule cart outside. Please come out with me. Tong Rui said.

"It's really tiger meat"

The money shopkeeper looked at the pieces of bright red meat, then looked at the texture, and then smelled the smell, without picking it up to see, he was sure that this was tiger meat. His eyes lit up, and he lowered his head again to sniff carefully, looking a little disbelieving.

"This tiger was just killed"

Tong Rui did not hesitate, so he nodded with the words of the shopkeeper Qian, although this tiger was not just killed, but the shopkeeper Qian checked it, this tiger meat is fresh enough, it should be because of Sister Qing'er's space, this space is so wonderful, I must tell Sister Qing to keep it secret, so as not to cause trouble.

"How are you going to sell this tiger meat" The surprise on the face of the money shopkeeper has been suppressed, and he has changed to that kind appearance, "How can these have to be three hundred catties?"

The price of tiger meat, neither of them knew, they looked at each other, and they both saw from each other's eyes that they regretted not asking about the price in advance.

The money shopkeeper likes these tiger meat tightly, not to mention anything else, although this town is not as good as the county seat, but there are many rich people, and the competition in several restaurants in the town is also fierce, if you have any good things here, then you can naturally be rich. Looking at the faces of these two little guests, the shopkeeper knew that the two of them didn't understand the market, but he was not the one who only saw the immediate interests, that is, he was not ready to lower the price, pondered for a while, and said: "This is the best pork, the town sells eighteen wen a catty, you are fresh tiger meat, I will collect it according to one catty and thirty-five wen, how?"

The price of this money shopkeeper is also fair, one pound of tiger meat can be exchanged for two pounds of pork, Tong Rui just wanted to nod, Su Miaoqing said: "Money shopkeeper, forty wen a catty, if you want, we will move the tiger meat in." ”

The money shopkeeper's face was slightly embarrassed: "This is also a little too high, why don't you reduce it a little more?"

"Money shopkeeper, you don't plan to ask sincerely" Su Miaoqing blinked, and looked at the money shopkeeper with clear eyes: "Shopkeeper, this tiger meat is processed from your hands, and it can be sold at least doubled Moreover, with the experience of the shopkeeper, you should also know that this tiger meat is hard to find, not three or two years, even if it is ten years or eight years, you may not be able to meet this time The shopkeeper does business, naturally I hope that the wealth will roll in, this tiger meat, the shopkeeper's slight publicity, everyone doesn't come to talk about the rich people in the town, I'm afraid that even the people in the county town can come not far away, in that case, the shopkeeper can raise the price again. Looking at it this way, I want forty wen a pound, is it still expensive?"

Without waiting for the money shopkeeper to speak, Su Miaoqing's vermilion mouth opened again: "Although this town is not big, there are many restaurants, I think, naturally many people will be interested in this tiger meat."

The face of the money shopkeeper changed, this little woman was right, if he got this tiger meat, he naturally didn't know how many times the business would increase. But if someone else gets it, then it will be your own family that will be impacted. took a deep look at Su Miaoqing again, it is really not easy to have such a flexible mind at this age.

"Okay, okay, I want this tiger meat, according to what the little lady said, forty wen a catty."

The money shopkeeper will not bargain, in case he annoys this little lady and does not sell it to him, he will not even have a place to cry at that time

Su Miaoqing was happy in her heart, a few words of kung fu would be more than a tael of silver.

"Then the shopkeeper will take the silver, and we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. To tell the truth, the family is waiting for the silver money to use this tiger meat for three hundred and a few catties, even if it is a whole, according to three hundred catties, that is, twelve taels of silver, the shopkeeper gave us two silver ingots of five taels, and then gave us two thousand yuan of money. ”

The money shopkeeper looked at Su Miaoqing, and underestimated in his heart, this little lady is not only flexible, but also delicate.

Tong Rui had a warm smile on his face, watching the transaction between Su Miaoqing and the money shopkeeper, and his eyes were so gentle that he could drip water. Sister Qing is smart and delicate, and she is really an ancestor who has accumulated virtue.

With the silver in her hand, she felt that her waist could be straightened up, so Su Miaoqing started to help move tiger meat, suddenly, she stopped, and hesitated for a while before speaking: "Money shopkeeper, this is three hundred catties of meat, this thing is no better than others, but it is easy to spoil If you eat so much just because tiger meat is rare, when the time comes"

Hearing Su Miaoqing say this, the shopkeeper couldn't help nodding, these two little guests were really good, and couldn't help but say happily: "Little lady don't worry, my restaurant has an ice cellar, which specializes in storing meat." Taking a step back, I can sell it to other restaurants."

Hearing what the money shopkeeper said, Su Miaoqing didn't say anything more, and only helped the guy move everything into the back hall.

"Shopkeeper, it's almost noon, we won't bother, I hope this tiger meat can bring wealth to the shopkeeper, and the two of us will leave."

Tong Rui bowed, and Su Miaoqing was also blessed and ready to leave.

"Walk slowly, if there is anything new in the future, you can send it to me, the price is absolutely fair." The money shopkeeper said, maybe the two of them can get any good things in the future, so let's say hello first.

Tong Rui agreed, turned around and walked out again, as soon as he stepped out of the restaurant, Su Miaoqing stopped, turned around and shouted: "Money shopkeeper, there is something I want to inquire, where is the best ready-to-wear store in this town?"

The money shopkeeper thought for a while, "If you say that this is the best, it is nothing more than Jinxiutang, with the freshest patterns and the best materials." If you two don't want to buy clothes, then I have to remind you more, the money from selling tiger meat, it would be good to buy a medium dress for this little lady. ”

Su Miaoqing smacked her tongue, it was so expensive, but she didn't show it, blessed her body, and thanked: "Thank you shopkeeper, we don't buy clothes, but also go to do a deal." ”

The money shopkeeper's eyes lit up, why didn't he think that they had so much fresh tiger meat, and most of the tiger skins were also there, "I don't have a good relationship with the shopkeeper of this splendid hall, you wait a minute, I will write a note, you take it, and it will save you a lot of trouble, rest assured, she will give you the fairest price." ”

This relationship is good, Su Miaoqing was originally afraid that she would not understand the market and be depressed, so since then, the money shopkeeper has made a guarantee, and it should not be bad.

After thanking them again, the two of them drove the mule cart to the splendid hall.

"Brother Rui, let's sell the tiger skin later, let's buy a cow, and then buy a car, we have to buy too many things, although there is space, but after all, it is inconvenient, it is much more convenient to buy an ox cart." This cow can still spring plough in the spring, although our land is not much now, but in the future, maybe there will be a lot. And with the ox cart, it's much more convenient for us to come to town," Su Miaoqing said, with a crystal smile on her face, and she unconsciously integrated into the life here.

"Okay, we'll go buy an oxcart when we sell the tiger skin." Tong Rui smiled, originally he wanted to remind Sister Qing that this space can be used less outside, what if it is seen by others, Sister Qing took the initiative to say it, which proves that Sister Qing has thought of this problem a long time ago.

As he spoke, he arrived at the splendid hall that the money shopkeeper said. There are many people in this town, and there is an endless stream of women in front of the gate of this splendid hall, and many women come in and out.

The two parked the mule cart, walked in, looked for a greeting man, handed the money shopkeeper's note, and were led directly to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of this splendid hall is actually a woman dressed as a woman, although the requirements for women in this big week are not so harsh, but there are few women who show up to do business, the shopkeeper of this splendid hall can be regarded as a strange woman.

"The two of you are here to sell tiger skins, I am the shopkeeper of this splendid hall, and my husband's surname is Sun." The shopkeeper of this splendid hall said with a smile.

"Good shopkeeper Sun, my husband's surname is Tong, after the introduction of the shopkeeper of the money, I specially came here to ask the shopkeeper Sun to see how much my tiger skin can sell for a lot of money." Su Miaoqing's face turned crimson, she glanced at Tong Rui, and saw that he didn't react to her words, and her pounding heart settled down a little.

Shopkeeper Sun looked at Su Miaoqing's unfolded baggage, the whole tiger skin, and there was a faint smell of blood.

"Shopkeeper Sun, originally this skin, we were going to get it when it was cooked, but the family was waiting for the silver, so Su Miaoqing was afraid that this tiger skin would be disliked because it was not ripe.

Shopkeeper Sun shook his head: "Don't get in the way, we have a good cooked leather master in Jinxiutang." This tiger skin is completely peeled, and there are no scars that affect the quality of the whole tiger skin, and the coat color is also superior, and I have forty-five taels of this skin. ”

Su Miaoqing was stunned, she guessed in her heart that this tiger skin should be worth more than tiger meat, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable. For example, every family in Tongjia Village works hard for a year, and the men in the family go out to work for a short time, and they can only earn about fifteen taels a whole year, excluding the family's expenses for a year, and it is good to save three or four taels of silver for a year. The income from this tiger skin has to be used by the farmer for many years

Seeing that Su Miaoqing didn't speak, the shopkeeper Sun thought that she was too little, and said with a slightly embarrassed face: "Tong family lady, this tiger skin, I can produce so much at the highest, in addition to the cost of this cooked skin, as well as the cost of labor, I can only earn ten taels of this skin, if it is less, I will be busy in vain." ”

Su Miaoqing hurriedly said embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper Sun, I'm not too little, but I'm a little surprised that this skin is so valuable." ”

Seeing that she was not pretentious, the shopkeeper Sun also had a good impression in his heart: "Some people pursue this, and tiger skins are also hard to find, so this price is not expensive, if it is in a big place like the capital, this tiger skin will cost two hundred taels to say the least." ”。

It's really a small place where life is good
