Chapter 9: Selling the Hare continued

Shopkeeper Zhang looked at the two sisters and brothers seriously, and saw that the two of them were black and thin, with a thick layer of cocoons on their exposed palms, although the clothes on their bodies were shabby, patches were stacked on patches, but the clothes were washed cleanly, and they were wearing a pair of straw sandals under their feet.

Straw sandals, I'm afraid that no matter how poor the family is, they will also put a pair of coarse cloth shoes to wear, looking at the appearance of this sister and brother, I am afraid that the refugees have been displaced to Wenfu City, and there is no adult in this family to sell this rabbit, I am afraid that the situation in the family is very bad.

"According to the market price, eighteen copper plates a catty, if you sell the hare directly to our restaurant, the price is lower than the market price, according to fifteen copper plates a catty, how?"

"Just according to the shopkeeper's." Liu Yiyu heard the words of the shopkeeper, at first stunned, I thought that it would be sold to the restaurant, I was afraid that it would give the shopkeeper of the restaurant a desperate price, and give myself a very low price, when shopping, Liu Yiyu also inquired about the price of the hare, ranging from fifteen copper plates to twenty copper plates.

Originally, Liu Yiyu didn't want to sell these hares outside, but after seeing that there were thugs outside to collect the fees, Liu Yiyu dispelled this idea, his family was penniless, where could he have the money to pay the fees, it was better to sell them directly into the restaurant.

Originally, Liu Yiyu estimated the lowest price of the restaurant in his heart of ten copper plates a catty, and now the shopkeeper Zhang gave a price of fifteen copper plates a catty, which was higher than the estimated price in his heart.

"This is two hundred and twenty-five copper plates, take it, next time there is still game, send it to our Xiangmanlou, and the Xiangmanlou will also receive it." Before leaving, after the shopkeeper Zhang took out two hangs of money and twenty-five copper plates to Liu Yiyu, he confessed such a sentence in his mouth.

"Thank you, shopkeeper". Liu Yiyu took a deep look at the shopkeeper Zhang, the shopkeeper did not reduce the price, now in this world, people are selfish, the icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, I am afraid that this shopkeeper will see that his life is difficult, and he wants to help his own family.

"Eldest sister, we have a copper plate, and our family finally has a copper plate." Liu Yihao was excited when he saw that he had sold five hares in exchange for two hundred and twenty-five copper plates.

It's no wonder that Liu Yihao is not excited, since the Liu family fled to Shangou Village, he has never seen what the copper plate looks like, because there is no copper plate to buy food at home, he starved his grandfather and uncle to death, and even the little aunt was sick and had no money for treatment, so he also followed.

"Big brother, let's go to the grain point and buy some rice and noodles."

"The two of you want to buy something, we have everything in Li Kee Grain Shop." Liu Yiyu's sister and brother had just entered a Li Ji grain store, and a guy greeted him and asked with a smile on his face.

The guy saw that Liu Yiyu's sister and brother were dressed in tatters, but they were neat and clean, and they didn't dislike it, after all, no matter how poor a family is, they still have to eat, and when they come to the food store, they will buy something somewhat.

"This little brother, what's in this store and how much does it cost?" Liu Yiyu asked.

"The price is assured, absolutely fair, it will not be more expensive than other stores, Li Ji grain shop is good in the rods, the price is also cheap, white noodles only 15 copper plates a catty, cornmeal 9 copper plates a catty, sweet potato noodles 6 copper plates a catty, black noodles 4 copper plates a catty, rice 15 copper plates a catty, fine rice 10 copper plates a catty, brown rice 8 copper plates a catty, what kind of food, I want to load it for you." The guy was carrying a white cloth bag in his hand, and introduced Liu Yiyu and his sister and brother.

"Little brother, what kind of family are we, I'm afraid you can see it, we can't afford the expensive ones, let's first come ten catties of sweet potato noodles, ten catties of black noodles, well, how to sell salt." Liu Yiyu looked around with his eyes, and after seeing that there was salt for sale in the shop, he immediately asked.

"Fifteen copper plates a pound".

"Then wrap me in a pound."

"Thanks to your patronage, ten pounds of sweet potato flour and sixty copper plates, ten pounds of black flour, forty copper plates, one pound of salt and fifteen copper plates, a total of one hundred and fifteen copper plates, the shopkeeper, erase their fractions, even if you have one hundred and ten copper plates, what do you say?" The guy was holding an abacus in one hand, and his fingers crackled on the abacus and he was playing abacus.

After calculating the total amount, the guy said that after erasing the change, he cautiously glanced at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper of Li Ji's grain shop, who was sitting on the counter collecting money, frowned slightly after hearing the guy's words, raised his eyes and glanced at Liu Yiyu and their sister and brother, and sighed imperceptibly and said, "That's it."

"Thank you for this little brother, thank you for the shopkeeper, this is a lot of money and ten copper plates, please put it away from the shopkeeper." In this world, a penny is difficult to defeat a hero, saving five copper plates, and you can buy a pound of black noodles, a pound of black noodles, but Liu Yiyu's family can eat two days' rations.

After leaving Li Ji's grain shop, Liu Yiyu led Liu Yihao straight to the cloth shop.

Liu Yiyu found a remote and small cloth shop, and led Liu Yihao in, Liu Yiyu knew that the larger cloth shops with luxurious decoration were those who took the route of the rich, looking at the clothes of himself and his fifth brother, I was afraid that they would be driven out as a flower child, and secondly, Liu Yiyu knew that he could not afford his own family background, so he had to go to the cloth shop that took the civilian route.

"This girl and her little brother want to buy something, and my splendid cloth shop has ready-to-wear clothes, shoes, embroidered handkerchiefs, and all kinds of fabrics, and the price is fair." When Liu Yiyu and the two walked into a splendid cloth shop, a woman about forty years old who was still as charming as Xu Xu stepped forward and asked Liu Yiyu and the two of them.

At that time, the woman saw that Liu Yiyu and the two of them were dressing, and she did not dislike it, and introduced it with a smile on her face.

"This sister-in-law, seeing us like this, can't afford to buy things from the cloth shop, I heard others say that the splendid cloth shop can buy some blank embroidered handkerchiefs back, and then embroider patterns on the blank embroidered handkerchiefs, and earn the difference in selling price, but I don't know that there is such a thing."

"My husband's surname is Huang, you can call me Huang's sister-in-law or Huang's shopkeeper, as for what you just said, there is such a thing in every cloth shop." The sister-in-law Huang heard Liu Yiyu's blunt words, saying that she couldn't afford to buy things in the cloth line, and she didn't dislike Liu Yiyu, so she glanced at Liu Yiyu a few times, and saw that Liu Yiyu's eyes were clear, there was no inferiority complex and timidity of poor children, her eyes were as clear as water and she looked directly, without the slightest dodge, Huang's sister-in-law's eyes flashed, and she led Liu Yiyu and Liu Yihao to a counter and said, "The blank embroidery cloth needs three copper plates, and if you embroider the patterns inside, the splendid cloth shop will use five to seven copper plates to buy, if the embroidery worker is not at home, The splendid cloth shop will not accept it."

"Thank you Sister-in-law Huang for mentioning, my name is Liu Yiyu, this is my fifth brother, Liu Yihao, my aunt and their embroidery work is absolutely good, listening to Sister-in-law Huang's words, if it is not embroidered with new patterns and novel styles, is the price a little higher."

"Miss Liu is a smart person, but what Miss Liu just said, it depends on the wishes of the guests, not just what you say, if you embroider well and sell well, your sister-in-law will naturally not treat you badly, after all, this is a mutually beneficial thing." Sister-in-law Huang was slightly stunned, and then reacted.

I didn't expect Liu Yiyu, who was dressed in shabby clothes in front of him, to be able to hear one, two, three from his own words, which was interesting.
