011 Change a little money
It's rare for the shopkeeper to say so much. But his expression was grim and his tone was cold. I'm afraid that if Sheng Qingqing disagrees again, he will have to order the two guys to do it.
And those two guys are also starting to gear up.
When Sheng Qingqing heard this, she hooked her lips and smiled, and said helplessly: "Shopkeeper, how dare I come to entertain you." You can see that I'm just a kid from a poor family......"
She waved her hand, revealing the wear on her sleeves and the wornness of her clothes.
"Spices are precious things, and if it weren't for an accident, I'm afraid I wouldn't have seen them for the rest of my life." Sheng Qingqing said slowly, telling a pre-made story.
So the shopkeeper Wan and the two guys listened to a story of "the child of a poor family saved the rich merchant, and the rich merchant had no way to repay him, so he could only mortgage his belongings".
"Although that boy said that he wanted to repay us, I also knew that a big man like the shopkeeper of Wan must be in charge of everything, and after a while, where can he still remember us. What's more, the poor in the family are almost unable to open the pot, and it is useless to keep this treasure, so it is better to exchange it for some silver taels, so that they can buy food. ”
Sheng Qingqing's words were sincere and sincere, if she hadn't made up these words, I am afraid that even she would have to believe it.
After speaking, Sheng Qingqing quietly looked at the expressions of the other three people in the shop.
The two guys seemed to have believed, and with an unfinished expression on their faces, it seemed that they had enjoyed listening to the story.
But the shopkeeper is not so easy to dismiss.
His eyebrows were furrowed, his eyes were shining, and he looked Sheng Qingqing up and down.
For some reason, being looked at with such eyes, Sheng Qingqing felt a little drumming in her heart, as if some details had been left behind......
But at this moment......
"I see, that's the past." Shopkeeper Wan opened his mouth slowly and said, "Spices are expensive, even if there is only such a little, they can also be sold. It's just that these in your hands are wrapped in rags, which affects the quality to some extent, and if you want to sell them, I'm afraid the price will not be very high. ”
Sheng Qingqing's heart was overjoyed. In fact, she didn't have a lot of hope in her heart, but when she heard that her two younger siblings wanted to eat meat, she had a flash of inspiration and suddenly thought. But she just wanted to try her luck, but she didn't expect it to actually sell.
As for the value of this spice......
Sheng Qingqing raised her eyebrows, covering the brilliance in her eyes, and only thought she was a fool.
How did she know how much the price of spices was worth in this era, but she had heard a few words when she was learning to cook in the past, and she had learned a little about the value of spices in ancient society, and knew that they were very valuable in ancient times because they were difficult to obtain. As for how much it was worth, she was completely unclear.
And if you want to ask Second Uncle Niu for this kind of thing, there will definitely be no answer. In a poor village like Shengjia Village, not to mention such a precious thing as spices, even eating meat has to be calculated.
Since you don't know anything, it's better to listen to the shopkeeper. More or less, it will be cheap, but such a large shop will be too deductible.
So at this time, as soon as the shopkeeper Wan spoke, Sheng Qingqing was of course busy and responded, and said with a smile: "The shopkeeper looked at the silver two, the noble man gave a sachet, and I also took it out of the sachet, and it is not a high-class product." ”
Shopkeeper Wan really appreciated her interest, his face was a little gentle, and he nodded: "I won't let you suffer too much." ”
It's done.
Sheng Qingqing's heart moved, and the smile on her face was even worse.
There are special weighing utensils in the spice shop.
It is a small scale, but the size of a palm, the scale rod is only the thickness of chopsticks, and the scale on it is extremely fine, which is specially used to weigh small objects.
Shopkeeper Wan carefully poured all the red powder on the shabby handkerchief on the small scale, and squinted for a long time.
"It's a little more than a penny, but you have to deduct some loss, this quality is not good, and I can give you four taels of silver in the end, how about it?"
Before, it was said that the market price of a penny was eight taels of silver, but now it is directly discounted, which is simply a profiteer.
But even if she was taken advantage of, Sheng Qingqing still agreed with a smile.
When the business was done, the shopkeeper Wan was very happy, so he immediately accepted the powder, took out four taels of silver from the counter and handed it to Sheng Qingqing.
Since coming to this world, Sheng Qingqing has seen broken silver for the first time.
There are four pieces of broken silver in the palm of his hand, all of which look like irregular pebbles, but the size of a fingernail, but a few small pieces, but they are quite weighty.
And just such a small and inconspicuous one, it is enough for a family of three to chew for a year.
Sheng Qingqing raised her head, and sure enough, she saw two guys who were fierce just now, looking at her with envy, but there seemed to be a little coveting in their eyes?
Sheng Qingqing's heart was full of joy.
Worst!
Although she is not the smartest person, she still understands the truth that wealth cannot be exposed.
Sheng Qingqing carefully wrapped the four taels of silver in the shabby handkerchief and hid it closely, not daring to delay in this shop any longer, only said hello to the shopkeeper, and walked out quickly.
Directly opposite the spice shop was the butcher's shop, and a half-used ox cart was parked at the door of the butcher's shop, with a boy and a toddler half-seated in the cart.
Sheng Qingqing walked briskly towards the ox cart, and then hid behind Niu Yu.
Although Niu Yu is only fifteen years old, he has inherited the genes of Niu Eruncle, and he has grown tall and tall at a young age, with a height of more than seven feet, comparable to a man in the prime of life. Sheng Qingqing, who was already yellow and thin because of perennial malnutrition, and was short in stature, hid behind him, and instantly couldn't even see a single hair.
Seeing this, the two men who chased them out of the spice shop had to sigh secretly and give up their plans.
Sheng Qingqing dared to stand up from behind Niu Yu, she couldn't help but be a little afraid, if there was no Niu Yu, those two guys would definitely find a way to snatch these taels of silver when they saw her alone.
After all, being a guy is only a few dollars a month at most, and if you can get four taels of silver at once, it is equivalent to getting rich. And it's not too difficult to snatch a little girl's things.
If you are targeted......
Sheng Qingqing couldn't help but pat her little heart, "Whew, I'm scared to death." ”
Niu Yu has been staring at her since she entered the spice shop, and naturally watched the actions of the two guys, but his understanding was a little wrong, so he asked, "Aqing, are you in trouble?" ”
Sheng Qingqing blinked, still a little confused.
Niu Yu's expression became serious, and he said: "The things in the spice shop are very expensive, did you break something, so that people are chasing you like this?" ”
