Chapter 22 Finally Found a Buyer
"Then why don't we go to the restaurant and ask?" Liu Man'er thought of an idea again, she used to read what was written in those books, some heroines went to restaurants to sell sweet potatoes, and some people bought them at a high price, and some people sold vegetable recipes.
She had eaten so many kinds of delicacies in her previous life, but unfortunately most of them were ancient recipes, maybe this world has already existed, but she can sell snakes? This snake is so big that it can be soaked in wine and can be made into snake soup, even if it is packed in a cage and displayed there, it must be able to attract a lot of people.
After all, there are people in any era who look at the excitement.
"It's a good idea to go to a restaurant, but how do you know those people won't treat us like beggars?" Ye Yuan asked rhetorically.
"It's okay, as long as you can sell it for a high price, the beggar will beg." Liu Man'er is out of the way.
Originally, she was not much different from a beggar now, in this case, there is no need to care about those false names, it is better to work hard, give it a try, and let it go.
"Then let's go." Ye Yuan is not a person who drags mud and water, so he pulled Liu Man'er and walked towards the restaurant as he spoke.
This county town is really very different from the town, this restaurant is also very luxuriously decorated, although in the previous life any tall restaurant has been to it, but standing in front of this restaurant, Liu Man'er still hesitated.
She is also a face-saving person, okay, if she is scolded and driven out again, it will be really embarrassing.
But after thinking about it, forget it, she regarded herself as a beggar, if this person still dared to scold her, she simply stayed in the restaurant and didn't leave.
It's just that she looked at Ye Yuan beside her, and inexplicably didn't want her embarrassed appearance to be discovered by him.
"Otherwise, I'll go in alone." Liu Man'er took the basket and said.
"You?" Ye Yuan was a little surprised.
"Hmm." Liu Man'er nodded and said, "I'll go and talk to him first, and if I can, I'll call you in." ”
"Why?" Ye Yuan was puzzled.
"Oh, you don't care, just wait for me here." Liu Man'er said and picked up the basket and walked into the door of the restaurant.
"Wait a minute, why don't we find out if there is a back door first, he may have someone here who specializes in buying." Ye Yuan proposed.
"I don't." Liu Man'er shook her head, "We are not the vendors they specifically contact them, if we go through the back door, those people will ignore us even more." ”
"There are a lot of diners here, they don't dare to go too far, when they get to the back kitchen, anything can happen, and those people will most likely not help me call the shopkeeper, it would be good if they didn't kick us out."
Liu Man'er smiled slightly, and said again, "Oh, you don't have to worry about it, no one dares to bully me, I have a lot of strength." One day, we will be able to come to this kind of place to eat openly, and if they have a bad attitude, I will get angry and open a shop directly opposite them and steal business with them. ”
"I didn't think much of it." Ye Yuan shook his head.
But looking at Liu Man'er's bold words, a small seed took root in his heart.
In my own power, will this day come? Yes.
People from peasant families rarely come to the county seat, and when they come, they are only amazed and praised, although Liu Man'er also praises, but she is not a little cowardly, it seems that she is really sincere.
Stretching out his hand, straightening her hair, and pulling her clothes again, Ye Yuan let Liu Man'er in.
As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper who ran the hall came over and shouted:
"Oops...... are you rich? This kind of place is also something you can come to? ”
"I have money." Liu Man'er patted her back basket mysteriously, "It's dozens of taels." ”
"Shall I see?" When this little second saw Liu Man'er wearing such tea, he wouldn't easily believe her words.
"Come on......" Liu Man'er was not stingy, and took away a piece of wood made of cover on the back basket......
The shopkeeper poked his head in, only to see a pair of black and resentful eyes looking at him, a pointed mouth with a big mouth open, a green body, and fangs exposed in the pink flesh, this thing went up, he was so frightened that he took two steps back and shouted:
"Ahh
"What's your name?" Liu Man'er hooked the corners of her mouth, lifted the back basket, and walked to the hotel.
"You can't go in."
Where did the little second in this shop dare to let Liu Man'er in, this is a long insect, it is a poisonous thing, what should I do if it bites someone?
Liu Man'er smiled again, there are a lot of strange people and strange things in this river and lake, she feels that she can't be cowardly, otherwise others will bully her.
If you want to make them afraid, you are the only one who is not afraid.
Thinking of this, she simply put the basket on the ground.
When the little monk of this shop was confused, Liu Man'er tilted the back basket, and the snake soon rolled into a ball, and its pointed head was about to come out of the gap in the branches.
Liu Man'er grabbed seven inches of it, and then she took the branches away and took the snake in her hand.
Good guy, that's a dozen pounds!
Liu Man'er hadn't mentioned it before, she didn't feel it, but at this moment, the snake was beating in her hand, and she felt that her strength was a little insufficient.
However, she endured this difficult color, and deliberately allowed herself to show an evil smile, "Come on, come on, the five-step snake that has been raised for a hundred years in the Five Poison Sect, is there anyone who wants to buy it?" Whether it's making snake soup or stir-frying and stewing, it's a good dish. ”
Liu Man'er simply shouted in this hall.
The snake was bound with green rattans, its pointed head was split in half, and its body was as fat as a fish, but Liu Man'er's face did not change and she was not afraid at all.
"Also, there are people in the family who have sore knees, use these five-step snakes to make wine, drink a glass a day, and ensure that the medicine is cured!" In fact, Liu Man'er's recipe is also from others.
Before, she was also a little curious, why this poisonous snake is soaked into wine, but the wine is not poisonous, but later she learned that the venom of this poisonous snake is a special protease that will be broken down in wine.
Therefore, when soaking snake wine, it is necessary to soak it with high-concentration liquor, supplemented by various medicinal materials, to achieve different effects.
But these willow vines don't know a lot, in fact, she has always been insensitive to snakes, and even, before this, she was still a little afraid of snakes.
It's just that the potential of people is endless, in order to make others think that she is not afraid, she can only pretend not to be afraid, but in fact, her right hand that pinched the five-step snake and seven inches was already trembling slightly, and there were some goosebumps on her body, and fine beads of sweat oozed from her back, but right now, with a breath, she didn't notice it herself.
"Come, do you want it?" Liu Man'er simply put the basket on the ground, and held the snake's tail with her left hand, which was equivalent to holding the snake in her arms, and she walked into a merchant, who saw it and leaned in a little:
"Thanks, no, no." They beckoned.
The sharp fangs were clearly visible in the snake's mouth at this moment, and the shopkeeper was afraid that Liu Man'er would go crazy and let the snake come over to bite him, so he didn't dare to come forward to stop it, so he could only hurriedly go to the second floor to call the shopkeeper down.
The guests sitting in the hall on this floor are all ordinary guests, not much money, Liu Man'er sold the snake to these people, purely to strengthen his own courage, and by the way, to show the people here:
I can't be a bully, provoke me to get angry, let the snake bite you......
The shopkeeper saw Liu Man'er holding a huge snake in his hand, and at a glance, first of all, it was its huge body, and then it was sharp fangs.
Liu Man'er also looked towards the shopkeeper, he was wearing an ordinary hat, an ordinary face, and from the outside, he couldn't see what his temperament was.
What caught her eye was a young man standing beside him, this young man was wearing a blue brocade robe, wearing a jade crown on his head, and his appearance was dignified, and he looked like he was from an extraordinary background.
Liu Man'er was happy in her heart, this time her good luck came.
"Are you two going to buy my snake?" The two of them hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Man'er was the first to speak:
"The fangs are still there, one or two snake venom, ten taels of gold, my poisonous snake is so big, there must be more than one or two snake venom in the body, but today you are lucky, fifty taels of silver are sold to you, selling snake venom and sending snake meat, this snake is excellent for wine and cooking."
The shopkeeper was obviously headed by this young man, and he glanced sideways at the young man respectfully, and the young man finally spoke.
His attitude was very arrogant, "I can buy your snake, but I can only pay five taels of silver, I buy your snake, not because your snake is valuable, but because I don't want you to disturb our business here." ”
The way this person didn't speak, Liu Man'er looked quite pleasing to the eye, but as soon as he spoke, Liu Man'er's heart stretched out a sense of displeasure.
She knew that it was her own fault, and she was desperate to choose this step, but this person's attitude still made her very unhappy.
She felt that after coming to this county, she was being hit all day by day today, was it really because of the tattered clothes she was wearing? Because she is poor, others don't look down on her.
So, for now, to sell or not to sell?
lowly dignity and five taels of silver.
When such a question lay in front of Liu Man'er, Liu Man'er hesitated, she didn't have this feeling of lack of money for a long time, that is, in her previous life, before the age of eight, her adoptive father had always protected her well, and he fought all the hardships himself.
After that, she didn't have to worry about food and clothing, and even had enough money to squander, and no one ever insulted her because of money.
However, this time, the young man's attitude was greatly stimulated to Liu Man'er, oh no, it should have been stimulated all the way.
"Sell, but please put your attitude a little better, otherwise, I don't know if the poisonous snake in my hand will suddenly go crazy!"
Liu Man'er raised her right hand, and the snake's open mouth almost brushed the young man's face.
"How dare you be so rude to our young master?" The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and scolded.
"Say it again!" Liu Man'er said coldly, "This is a five-step snake, do you have an antidote with you?" ”
