33. Stingy
Young Master Zhu is a notoriously stingy ghost in this area.
Not far from his house, there was a trader who sold cakes from the furnace, and this person knew the young master Zhu best.
This young master Zhu came to him to buy clamor cakes, and he had to pick them one by one.
Oven cakes are a local specialty, layered with sesame seeds on top, baked in a specific oven. The stove is named after the water tank. The oven cake is crispy and crispy, and with the sticky sesame seeds on the outside, it is fragrant, crispy and crispy in the mouth, and it is the best in the cake.
Young Master Zhu turned over the cakes on the table one by one, and the sesame seeds stuck to them fell on the table, and Master Zhu wrote with spit on the table, and received all the sesame seeds on the table into his mouth, and then bought a few cakes from them and left. Young Master Zhu's heart ached, so he had to go home and take another ingot of silver, ready to send it to Tian Taohua.
Young Master Zhu took the silver and rushed to Tian Taohua's house.
At a gate, he saw a middle-aged man selling eggs, and his mouth was still shouting, "Sell eggs, sell eggs!" Ten pennies to buy 200 pounds of eggs. This shout was heard by Young Master Zhu, he thought that this was a very cost-effective deal, why not take the silver in his hand and exchange the eggs first, sell the eggs, you can make a lot of money, and then give Tian Taohua silver, not as much as you want.
The idea was certain, so he walked over with a voice, and when he saw the middle-aged man selling eggs, he answered, "Hey, boss, how do you sell your eggs?" ”
The middle-aged man sitting at the gate shouted repeatedly: "Ten copper coins, two hundred catties of eggs." ”
Young Master Zhu came to the gate and saw that there were only a dozen eggs in the middle-aged man's basket, so he asked the middle-aged man, "You only have a dozen eggs, where did you get 200 catties?" ”
"I have 200 catties of eggs at home, if you want to buy them, you give me money, and I will give you eggs to find money."
"Okay." Young Master Zhu handed over the ingot of silver to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man took the silver and said to Young Master Zhu: "Come, you squat down, put your two arms together, and I will give you these eggs and put them on your arms." I'll use this basket for my eggs. ”
The middle-aged man put the eggs one by one on Young Master Zhu's coiled arm, then stood up and said to Young Master Zhu, "You wait, I'll get you eggs and find money." ”
"Okay, you can hurry up!" Young Master Zhu looked at the back of the middle-aged man leaving, and only hoped that the middle-aged man would come back soon and relieve this difficult work of making eggs.
This Young Master Zhu has never done this kind of work, and the beads of sweat on his face have also fallen.
After waiting for most of the day, the middle-aged man did not appear, and Young Master Zhu felt a little uncomfortable, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Selling eggs!" Egg sellers! Where did you go, why haven't you come out? ”
An old man walked out of the gate.
Young Master Zhu immediately shouted, "Uncle, did you bring me the money you found?" When will I take out the eggs? ”
The old man was a little puzzled and asked, "What are you talking about?" Who gives you the money? Who gets you eggs? ”
"Didn't you come out of this house? There was an egg seller who took my money, saying that he was looking for money and eggs for me, and after waiting for a long time, no one came out, but you came out, aren't you a family? ”
The old man laughed when he heard this, and then said, "You are mistaken. ”
Young Master Zhu was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's a doorway, not a yard."
