Chapter 39: Going to the Market (2)
Lu Sanlang didn't know that he needed money to enter the black market, and his face immediately turned red, regretting that he didn't ask clearly yesterday, otherwise he wouldn't have made a foreign appearance.
The village doctor didn't mind at all, and took out four diminutive receipts from his pocket and handed them to Tian Tian: "Be careful, there is an exit inside, run to the exit if you don't feel right." As soon as this sentence came out, it almost made Lu Sanlang retreat, but looking at the sweet and confident little eyes, Lu Sanlang could only stubbornly go in the direction of the small door.
"Daddy, knock on the door, three long and three short." Lu Tiantian urged.
Lu Sanlang took a deep breath and raised his hand, "Tuk Tuk"
The door opened a crack, revealing a pair of thin squinting eyes inside, and Lu Tiantian held the gross ticket in his hand high.
Squinted and took the money, counted it, and then the door opened a little wider, and Lu Tiantian hurriedly took the lead and walked in.
Lu Saburo saw his daughter go in, and quickly followed.
The two of them stood in the door and looked over, the place was quite large, it was estimated that it used to be a threshing floor or warehouse.
There were dozens of people in a circle against the wall, either carrying baskets or carrying baskets, and everyone looked very cautious.
"Daddy, let's go find that exit first, and then sell wild boar meat near the exit." Lu Tiantian whispered.
Lu Saburo nodded again and again, my daughter is smart and knows that she has to find a favorable position first.
The two men walked around the black market and finally found a small door hidden behind two trees.
"Dad, let's set up a stall here." Lu Tiantian pointed to the middle of the two trees.
There was a half-old boy squatting at the small door, and when he saw Lu Tiantian and Lu Sanlang wanting to set up a stall here, he wanted to scold when he opened his mouth.
But his clear eyes and apologetic smile on Shanglu Tiantian made him unable to open his mouth and want to curse.
It turned out that when Lu Tiantian was about to put down the back basket, he happened to face this kid, and when he saw that there was someone here, he smiled at him a little embarrassed.
"Dad, there's someone here, let's go over a little."
Lu Sanlang also glanced back, and pulled Tiantian and wanted to go to the side.
"That's it, I'm not a seller, don't worry about me." The half-sized man said in a rough voice.
Lu Tiantian hurriedly smiled and thanked him, and unloaded the back basket with San Lang.
After a while, someone came over and asked, "Brother, what are you selling?" ”
Lu Tiantian saw that San Lang was a little cramped, and hurriedly replied crisply: "It's the wild boar that I hunted." ”
"Wild boar, how much is a pound?" When the man heard that it was meat, he became interested.
"Eight cents a pound, there are industrial tickets, and cloth tickets can be cheaper for a dime a pound." Lu Tiantian said.
San Lang was already crying without tears on the side, and he couldn't answer any of the questions asked.
"Cheng, I have three cloth tickets, is it five cents a pound?" The man asked.
Lu Tiantian shook her head: "Uncle, a pound of pork can only be exchanged for a ticket once, and you can buy three pounds of meat if you have three cloth tickets, which can be cheaper by three cents." ”
The uncle was stunned by Lu Tiantian, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Stop, you tell me, three cloth tickets can buy three catties of meat, then how much money should I give you." ”
Lu Tiantian snapped her fingers and said, "Uncle, a pound of pork is seven cents, and three pounds of pork is two dollars and a dime." ”
"Cheng, come to three catties, give you a ticket, give you money." Lu Tiantian already has three more cloth tickets in his hand, two yuan and a dime.
"Dad, take out the biggest piece of meat, that piece of meat is three catties." Lu Tiantian pushed the somewhat stupid San Lang.
San Lang woke up like a dream, and hurriedly rummaged through the back basket, and sure enough, he found five or six pieces of meat that were cut into some big pieces, and took a piece casually and handed it over.
The man weighed the amount of meat: "Three catties are enough?" ”
Lu Tiantian hurriedly took out a scale from the back basket and said, "The difference is one to make up for ten, there is a scale here, you can weigh it." ”
The man took the scale, hooked the wild boar with a hook, and put the scale on the three-pound star, and the scale pole was raised high.
After taking the meat, the man returned the scale to Lu Tiantian, raised his thumb, and turned to leave.
The half-grown boy became interested, walked over and asked, "How many wild boar do you have?" ”
"Little brother, the wild boar we shot has 200 catties, and today we brought 70 catties, and we sold 3 catties just now, so there are still 67 catties."
"You wait, don't sell it yet." After saying this, the half-grown boy ran away.
San Lang was a little worried: "Tiantian, won't you let us sell it?" ”
Tian Tian shook her head: "Daddy, probably not, I guess he went to find someone to buy our pork." ”
"Tiantian, how do you know the price of pork, and do you know that it can be cheaper with a ticket?" Saburo asked.
"My master said, I want to buy cloth, but without a cloth ticket, can't I come from here?" Lu Tiantian felt very guilty, she lied again.
"Why don't you cut the pork by weight, then you can't make it all night."
San Lang was distressed, he knew that he would come over at night to help get it together.
“... ...”
Lu Tiantian didn't dare to speak, she just waved her hand, put the pork in the space, and cut the meat with a meat slicer.
The difficulty is that the weight cannot be fully mastered, so there will be one, two, and three catties of meat in the back basket.
Fortunately, Lu Tiantian is smart, and with a reference, he knows how big a pound of meat is.
"Uncle, that's them."
The half-grown man ran over, followed by a middle-aged man with his hair combed in threes and sevens.
The middle-aged man was very polite when he saw Lu Sanlang: "Brother, I want all your meat, what price can you give me?" ”
Lu Saburo didn't expect him to ask this question, so he couldn't help but glance at Tian Tian.
Asked with a sweet smile: "Uncle, do you want this, or do you want all the wild boar in my house?" ”
The middle-aged man became interested: "How do you say this?" ”
"My grandfather said at home, if you buy more than 50 catties at a time, you will give 7 cents and 51 catties, if you buy more than 100 catties, you will give 7 cents and 1 catty, and if you buy more than 150 catties, you will give 6 cents and 1 catty."
The middle-aged man smiled, looked at Lu Sanlang and said, "Your old man is a powerful man, how many you have, I want them all." ”
San Lang also smiled: "Big brother, it's less than seventy pounds here, and there are more than a hundred pounds at home, but I have to give it to you tomorrow." ”
"Cheng, give me these first, and you will come directly tomorrow for the rest, my name is Quangen."
Lu Sanlang nodded: "Brother Quangen, I'll help you carry this meat out." ”
Genzi shook his head: "Dongzi, let people come over and bring the back basket." ”
"Okay." The half-sized boy named Fuyuko ran away.
"Brother, I'll calculate according to the weight of seventy catties, and you can make up for the three catties sold tomorrow, by the way, how can I call you?" Jeongen asked.
"My name is San Lang, I'll come here at this time tomorrow." Lu Saburo said.
