"Ten taels?!" Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but shout.

This shout was quite loud, and it immediately attracted the attention of some people around him. Fortunately, after these people saw the simple stall and the simple Sheng Qingqing, they turned their eyes back.

The young stall owner wiped his sweat, he was really afraid of attracting too much attention just now.

Fortunately, it's fine.

But looking at the customer's expression, it seems that he is not satisfied with the price?

At this time, Sheng Qingqing's expression was indeed a little strange, she looked at the stall owner, and couldn't help but smile and asked: "Your price card is too good, right, exactly ten taels of silver, is it not a penny left for me?" ”

The stall owner couldn't help but wipe the thin sweat that had just come out of his sideburns. He has a wooden personality, he doesn't talk much on weekdays, and he really doesn't know how to bargain with people. In the past, it was okay, the stall was just some ordinary seeds, the price was cheap, it was not good to lose a penny or two, and it was considered to have a quota, if someone came to buy, it was sold according to the price, and there was no need to bargain.

But these kinds of fruit seeds are different......

The main thing is that he hasn't sold it before!

The young stall owner hesitated for a long time before stammering: "This, so be it, you, if you are sincere, sincere and want to buy, you will pay nine taels of silver, no, it can't be less!" ”

Sheng Qingqing's eyes moved slightly, but there was a serious expression on her face, and she seemed to think for a moment, which made the stall owner a little more nervous, and then she pretended to sigh and said reluctantly: "I didn't expect it to be so expensive......

Nine taels of silver is a big expense, ordinary people can live a good life for three taels of silver, this is three years of expenses, and it is not to buy any valuables, just some rare seeds. Ordinary people would not be willing to buy these seeds.

The young stall owner apparently knew this, and he looked like he was about to cry.

But even though he was worried that the deal would not go through, he still held the price.

He stammered, "Nine, nine taels is the lowest." No, no, no more, no more. ”

Sheng Qingqing glanced at him, sighed in the stall owner's nervous eyes, showed a reluctant look, and said awkwardly: "Okay, okay, nine taels is nine taels, but this is too expensive, greatly exceeding my budget." And I came out with ten taels of silver, and if I had bought all these seeds, I would have no way to buy the other seeds. ”

"That, that......"

Sheng Qingqing directly interrupted his words and said with a smile: "It's better like this, I will pay a total of nine taels for your three seeds, and you can count those ordinary seeds as an addition to me, how about it?" ”

Seeds such as radishes are very common, and the price is naturally relatively low, and it is estimated that each serving will not exceed two cents. And the seeds sold by the young stall owners are not in the best condition. Even if it's used as an add-on, it won't hurt too much.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, the stall owner nodded in agreement.

He was also afraid that the patron who had been waiting for him would run away, and he could make a big deal of nine taels of silver at a time.

Of course, if Sheng Qingqing hadn't taken the initiative to mention this matter, the young stall owner's Mu Ne would not have thought of it at all.

After negotiating, the two quietly began to trade.

This one handed over ten taels of silver, and the other wrapped all the seeds and handed them over.

If it weren't for one of these surprises, the transaction would have gone smoothly......

Sheng Qingqing looked at the stall owner with a wooden face and stuffed her with two cloth bags.

One of the bags was very light, and it was filled with freshly wrapped seeds. As soon as the other cloth bag was opened, it sank, which shows that the contents inside are very heavy.

The young stall owner was also very embarrassed when he saw her expression, scratched his head, and explained: "No, there is no broken silver ......."

Sheng Qingqing sighed deeply, but she didn't mean to pursue it.

In fact, it is useless to pursue it.

The stalls on this detail are all small transactions, and the stall owners and customers use copper plates to trade on weekdays, and there are very few opportunities to see broken silver on customers, let alone let the stall owners always have broken silver that can find money.

One tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins, that is, one penny.

Under normal circumstances, these copper plates will be strung with hemp rope, so that they are easy to count and easy to hold.

But Sheng Qingqing was alone at this time, but she didn't dare to let her property be exposed, let alone count the money she found. In the end, she just tossed the cloth bag to feel the weight, opened it again and looked at the approximate number, and then put the cloth bag away, even if it was less, at most it was only a few copper plates.

There are people coming and going around here, and there are many people with mixed eyes, revealing so much money, if people are eyed, they will lose more than a few pennies.

It's just that the weight of this thousand is really a lot, and it is too eye-catching to hang on the cuffs. So she didn't plan to keep more of this big bag of silver.

After putting away the cloth bag containing the seeds, Sheng Qingqing and the young stall owner said goodbye, and immediately turned around and left the stall. She carried a cloth bag in one hand, and did not forget to protect the cuffs in the other—there were a thousand copper coins stored.

Walking out against the flow of people is a little more difficult than following the flow of people before.

It took more than half an hour for Sheng Qingqing to barely squeeze out of West Street. She didn't stop, her steps were fast, and she went directly to East Street.

However, this time she did not go to the spice shop, but to a shop she knew best.

Butcher's shop.

Looking at the familiar shop door, Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Not long after she came to this world, the first time she came to the town, the first time she bought and sold was this butcher's shop. And this butcher's shop is not the same as when she first came, nothing has changed.

The shop is not big, but the goods in the shop are very complete. And I don't know if it's because of the beginning of spring, the animals are easy to catch, and the goods in the store are more abundant and complete than what she saw earlier.

Not to mention the air-dried sausages and hams, but the fresh meat, there are a wide range of pork, beef, and even some venison, and I don't know where the boss got it.

Although the deer is not a protected animal these days, if you want to hit one, you have to go deep in the mountains.

When Sheng Qingqing came, the honest-faced boss was chopping meat. The huge cleaver was like a toy in his hand, and he could easily break up a large piece of meat into small pieces.

The boss was obviously very focused, and it wasn't until Sheng Qingqing walked into the store with both feet that he reacted in hindsight and put down the big knife in his hand.

"Eh, it's you again, little girl! It's been a long time, why didn't you come with your second uncle Niu today? He greeted with a smile.

Sheng Qingqing blinked, a little surprised, "Boss, do you remember me?" ”

"Of course I do." The boss laughed innocently and said, "Don't look at my old Chen's roughness, my brain is so good, then I can't forget it, it's my old Chen!" ”

Sheng Qingqing couldn't help laughing, feeling that this boss was really unseemly, looking at the old man who was rough and honest, he didn't expect it to be quite humorous.

But it wasn't getting early, and she wasn't going to spend too much time here.

After talking and laughing with the boss a few times, Sheng Qingqing said directly: "Boss, is there any fresh meat?" ”

As soon as he saw the business coming to the door, the boss also became serious and led Sheng Qingqing to see the meat on the desk.

"These are fresh, just slaughtered today." As he spoke, he pointed to the pieces of meat on the desk that had been arranged in different categories, and introduced: "This venison is the freshest, or a small deer, and the meat is tender." ”

Sheng Qingqing's expression was a little indescribable. If she can, she doesn't like to eat the meat of her cubs, so it's better to uphold the concept of sustainable development. And in the case of venison, it may not be suitable......

Shaking his head, Sheng Qingqing skipped this piece of meat and asked, "Boss, the wild boar meat I bought last time was very good, is there still one this time?" ”

"Not coincidentally." The boss looked regretful, "There were some a few days ago, and the last one was sold yesterday." ”

Sheng Qingqing listened and felt a little regretful.

But there is no way, wild boar is not like a domestic white pig, you can kill every day, if you want to eat wild boar, then you have to be lucky, and you have to meet a wild boar on the same day. And it can't be an old wild boar, you need the meat of the wild boar cubs to be fragrant. Otherwise, the old wild boar that has not been castrated will have very fishy meat and cannot be eaten at all.

The boss looked at her carefully, and when he saw Sheng Qingqing's helpless face, he was also a little anxious.

He suddenly pointed to a piece of meat not far away, and said with a smile: "Little girl, in addition to venison, there is also beef today, do you want some?" ”

Sheng Qingqing followed his fingers and looked at it, and sure enough, he found a large piece of beef quietly placed on the desk. Look at the red flesh, it is obviously very fresh, and it has just been slaughtered not long ago.

Beef is even more rare than venison and wild boar. Because venison and wild boar meat can also be encountered in the mountains and forests, and then hunted. Beef is hard to come by.

In the era of mechanization, cattle were the main labor force, a cattle can top several adult men, if there is no accident, no one will be stupid enough to slaughter the cattle. And the laws of this country also stipulate that it is not allowed to slaughter farming cattle.

On the contrary, those dignitaries and nobles have specially bred beef cattle to eat.

In Cheng's house before, Sheng Qingqing also heard Yang Heng talk about it. The reason why the Cheng family has so much beef to use at will is because the Cheng family has its own ranch and breeds beef cattle specially for eating.

And if ordinary people want to eat beef, they have to try their luck.

For example, Sheng Qingqing is now ......

Looking at that large piece of beef cattle, Sheng Qingqing was very moved. When she first came to the butcher shop, the boss recommended beef to her, but unfortunately she was shy at that time, so she only bought some wild boar meat and gave up.

And this time there is no wild boar meat, but there is still such a large piece of beef......

The owner of the butcher shop looked at Sheng Qingqing, his eyes were so good, he had already found the cloth bag that the little girl was carrying. Look at the weight, I'm afraid I put a lot of money. So the boss had the audacity to introduce beef.
