Ganda came a little late today, Gan butchers have sharpened their knives for the second time, and those who know that Ganda accompanied his daughter-in-law yesterday said some meat words that Ganda couldn't get up in the morning after making efforts at night.

"It's coming, it's coming." Someone said when they saw Gan Da coming, but Gan Da did not come alone, but carried a pair of flat poles, and there were large wooden barrels in front and behind the flat poles.

"Before it opens today, Ganda has a harvest." Someone quipped.

Ganda put down the flat shoulder, and there were good people who came up to look around, and it was actually two large barrels of eels, which were about the thickness of an adult man's thumb, and their tails were entangled, and they were full of upgrades.

"Good guy, you didn't sleep last night where to make up for the fish, so many fish, and before the festival, you can sell it at a good price." As soon as the people watching shouted, more people gathered around to look at each other.

commented on the number and thickness of the eel, and some people asked where Ganda went to catch it.

"Little Eight and Eleven were clamoring to catch eels, and they got up half an hour early to take them to the field to try, thinking that they would get nothing, but they knew that they were lucky, and they got these two big buckets, so it was too late." Gan Da said to Gan Butcher.

Gan Tuhu nodded, and only said, "Little Eleven is a blessed and wealthy person." ”

Speaking of Gan Shiyi, others are also interested, saying that your little lady was born differently from others, she can walk at the age of one, and now she is less than two years old and she is articulate and coping freely, as smart and sensible as a smart child of three or four years old, but is it true?

Gan Da was about to boast about his daughter's goodness, and was called by Gan Butcher to tie up the sheep, and after Gan Da left, Gan Butcher said to everyone, "I look forward to ten grandchildren to get such a baby bump, in my opinion, it is naturally very good, but put it outside, that is, an ordinary little lady, how can it be so miraculous, but the little lady was born to be more docile and easy to bring than a stinky boy, well-behaved and clever." ”

Others said that too, this has raised ten leather boys one after another, and then a good daughter, in strong contrast, I feel that my daughter is obedient and amazing, not only his little lady, but also the little lady of other people's families.

The drying field is not only the butcher and the owner of the livestock, but also the people who want to buy meat, the people who carry the meat to sell, the people from nearby villages, the restaurants in the city, and the purchasing and management of large households.

After killing five sheep and three pigs, the sun is in full bloom, and Gan Butcher's task today is completed, Gan Da is packing up the knives, Gan Butcher said, "There is still a cow to kill tomorrow, this is a big guy, you have to rest well today, don't go to catch eels at night." ”

Gan Da hesitated, "Catch more before the Mid-Autumn Festival and sell it, and the work in the middle of the night will make a lot more money than this." ”

"Are you a butcher or an eel catcher? Can you catch eel and sell it every day? Gan Butcher asked, "Slaughtering is the foundation of your life, and unless you decide to change your career, nothing will affect your daily slaughter." ”

Ganda oh sound.

"You go back today and bring Dalang and them over, it is close to the Mid-Autumn Festival, they have no intention of going to school, go to the school to take a two-day holiday, let them take a bamboo basket to catch it at night, since there is luck, then whoever catches it has it." Gan butcher said.

Ganda was glad to be good.

A woman in Tsing Yi came over, "Big brother, do you sell this eel?" ”

"Sell! But I have to pick it up and sell it in the county seat. Gan Da said that the farmers in this neighborhood want to eat eels, but they are reluctant to buy them, and they can't afford to sell them.

"Such two big barrels, how tiring it is to pick them into the city, my house is under the maple tree, you give a good price, I want these two barrels, save you scattered sales, delay time." The woman said.

Ganda has been selling meat for two years, and his eyes are also sharp, and when he looks back, he looks back and sees that the woman is not dressed like a peasant woman, and her mouth is round, such a spirit, under the maple tree? It can only be the housekeeper lady of Zhou Yuanwai's house. Since it is a Zhou Yuan's foreign family, he is not afraid of shouting prices.

Gan Da rubbed his hands and said, "The eel is according to the head, the price is not the same, you see my eel, but the strips are round and thick, and they are sold for forty or fifty wen a pound on weekdays, and they have to quadruple before the festival, I pick them to the city, and I will not sell them without a hundred yuan." The fish next to it is difficult to sell, the eel is easy to sell, this eel blood is very useful, and you can't usually touch such a good eel. "Eel blood invigorates blood and aphrodisiacs, nourishing things, men in the city are good at this.

The woman looked at it closer, and saw that the eel was indeed good-looking, stout and powerful, and although it was expensive for a hundred yuan, there were many people in the city who could eat a hundred yuan and a pound of eel.

"You have so many eels, when do you have to sell them, I will wrap them for you, you are slightly cheaper, and I can report to the master when I go home." The woman said. "How about eighty wen a pound? I see that you also have a hundred catties of this burden, you save effort, I have to be cheap, and everyone is happy. ”

"At least ninety wen, no matter how little, it won't be sold, my family has a car, and it doesn't take much effort to bring it back." Gan butcher said, "Such a good eel, the city steward bought it back and quoted 150 yuan, and the master still boasted about the good purchase." ”

The woman smiled, "Okay, since I am a bright person, I will not bargain with you, ninety wen will be ninety, and I will bother the eldest brother to send it to me." ”

Ganda walked behind the woman with the burden, and the woman waited for a while, and walked side by side with Ganda, "Big brother, I just heard from them that your daughter is less than two years old, and she speaks very neatly, why is she so powerful, how did she teach her?" ”

"How can this be taught, isn't it all innate?" Gan laughed and said, "They say that the little lady speaks early, I am such a little lady, and there is no way to compare, anyway, she spoke earlier than her brothers, her tenth brother is four and a half years old, and both of them can understand what they say." ”

"That's a smart kid." The woman had a plan in her heart.

When he arrived under the maple tree, he stopped outside the magnificent manor, and the woman led him into the kitchen through the side door, called the housekeeper, and said to his face that the price was 100 wen, and after filtering the water, he said that there were 93 catties, and Gan Da said that 3 catties would be counted, and it would be counted as 90 catties.

The woman asked him to wait outside the door, and after a while he took out his purse, "Here are eight taels of silver, this is a tortoiseshell ring, and the market price is also worth one tael of silver, you can take it back and make your daughter-in-law happy." ”

When Gan Dafang calculated the total price, she knew that there could only be eight taels of silver, and she went to the account office to pay ten taels of silver, did she find another hundred Wen for him alone, but she didn't expect to have more rings, Gan Da took the money and thanked him.

The woman said that there will be this good thing in the future, remember to send it to Zhou's house to find me, my husband's surname is Guo, you said to find Guo Niangzi.

Mrs. Guo returned to the house, asked someone to fill a pot with an eel, and went to the main house to find his wife to do something. Rushed back to earn two taels a long time ago, although he gave up a ring, but the ring was also rewarded by his wife, and he earned it.

Yuan Xinqiao was having breakfast with his son, and his son was eating Xiang Siwen, such a big child couldn't teach such a good gesture, but Yuan Xinqiao was still worried when he thought that his son was unwilling to speak.

"Madam, what good things have I found today?" Guo Niangzi came in and said.

Yuan Xinqiao saw the person behind her holding a copper basin and asked, "What good things did you buy, let you send them up to ask for a reward." ”

Mrs. Guo showed her that there was a stout black eel nested in the copper basin, "It's all such a thick eel, it's ninety-three pounds." Guo Niangzi said, "I negotiated the price with someone, and I bought it for one hundred wen a catty, which happened to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it could be cheaper if it was usual." ”

"This eel is a good size." Yuan Xinqiao glanced at it and asked people to serve it, "Leave two for Brother Yun to eat, and send the rest home, the master will take the treat and give gifts." ”

Then he laughed and scolded, "That kid eats things inside and outside, and he has to check their accounts carefully, and he takes the master's house as a fool." "Zhou Yuanwai likes to eat eels, and the family has never stopped purchasing, and the price of eels that are usually not as thick and long as this is one hundred and fifty wen a catty, and the eels that meet two or three hundred wen a catty during the festival have also eaten.

Looking at it now, I don't know who I fed.

Mrs. Guo smiled and said that buying in the village is different from buying in the city. But she quoted such a real price, she just wanted to stab the housekeeper, after all, her husband is the third housekeeper below, and if the housekeeper above is not wrong, how can her husband have a bright future.
