Chapter 174: Buying Sheep
"Do you want a sheep?" The child was dirty, and when he got closer, he could smell a bad smell.
Mutton!
Yan Lao Er and Yan Yu's eyes lit up at the same time.
Shabu mutton, mutton skewers, mutton soup
All kinds of delicious sheep floated through their minds.
The saliva flooded uncontrollably.
"It's a live sheep, and it costs six pieces of silver." The child hesitated and quoted a price.
"Six hanging money?" Yan Lao Er pondered whether it was appropriate.
"Nope." The child's head shook violently: "It's six pieces of silver." ”
He repeated it again, although his face was dirty, his eyes were bright, and he stared at Yan Lao Er without blinking.
"Not all of them are the same." Yan Lao Er said deliberately.
"Silver is worth a lot, I know." The child looked at Yan Lao Er vigilantly, and almost didn't say, don't you want to fool me. "I only want silver, not copper."
Yan Lao Er saw that it was time to tease the child again, and asked with a smile, "Where are your sheep?" I'll have to take a look first. ”
"Get my house to pull it." The child said.
Afraid that they would not want to go, the child emphasized: "My sheep are well raised, especially clean, pork twenty-five, mutton is only fifteen, are all meat to eat, I also give you a cheap price, a few days ago on the scale, my sheep is sixty pounds, these days must have grown a little, I will give it to you, not counting money, it is very cost-effective." ”
Yan Lao Er laughed and saw that this child really wanted to sell the sheep to them.
"Your home is not far away?"
"It's not far, it's a little bit down this street, it's close." The child said impatiently.
"Let's go check it out." Li Xuemei said.
Yan Lao Er beckoned the child to get into the ox cart.
The child shakes his head and runs ahead.
The group followed the child to the so-called section, which was really close, and almost reached the easternmost part of the town
The child was afraid that they would run away, and he kept looking back when he ran ahead.
Until he ran to the mouth of the alley of his house, he shouted happily: "Mother! Mother! I've found someone to buy sheep! I brought it to someone, it's at the mouth of the alley, you can come out and have a look! ”
After a while, a woman hurried out, saw a family on the ox cart, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, the child is not sensible, don't be surprised, my sheep and sheep have been decided." ”
The child ran and gasped, and when he heard the woman say this, he became anxious: "No, we didn't take Feng Sanye's copper plate, the sheep is still at home, mother, they really want to buy meat, they stood in front of Feng Sanye's stall for a while, they want to eat meat and think pork is expensive, our sheep just sell them, we all said okay, six dollars of silver, we all said okay!" ”
Yan Lao Er coughed twice, and wanted to educate the children very much, the price without a transaction is all false, and when the money arrives, it is the final selling price.
But seeing that the child was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, he swallowed the words.
"Six pieces of silver?" When the woman heard this, her face turned red, and she said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the child is talking nonsense, it's not worth the price, it's not worth it." ”
The child said loudly: "I asked someone, the mutton is fifteen and one pounds, our sheep is sixty pounds, and it can be sold for nine hangings, Feng Sanye bullied us, only gave us two and a half hangings, and gave him money for slaughtering, mother, let's sell it to this uncle, and he paid six yuan." ”
Yan Lao Er:
Don't be foolish, he didn't make a bid.
"This sister-in-law, you have sheep that you want to sell, I want to buy it, since you confiscate anyone's money, how about selling it to me? I'll take a look at the sheep first, and then we'll negotiate the price, and if it's suitable, I'll give me cash and take it away. ”
Yan Lao Er didn't want to care about the lawsuit of this mother and son, and it was important to look at the sheep.
When the boy heard this, he ran in, and in a short time he came with the goat.
The sheep bleated twice, and crowed no more.
Yan Lao Er looked at his teeth and touched his stomach again.
"Ewes? Just had a lamb, right? Do you want to sell? Yan Lao Er was surprised.
He thought it was a ram, and the ram was usually sold for slaughter and meat.
In the families of sheep raisers, the ewes are not sold, and they are kept to continue breeding.
"My dad is not at home, my grandfather is sick, and he is anxious to grab medicine." The child said.
Yan Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead, he was a clever child before, how can he tell the truth, no wonder that Feng Sanye wants to lower the price, you are in a hurry to use the money, not to suppress your price.
Yan Lao Er said: "Since you have been on the scale, it will be calculated according to sixty catties, and you don't want six coins of silver, and I won't give you two hangs of five or four coins of silver, sister-in-law can you see it?" ”
The woman hesitated for only a moment, then agreed.
The price is very good, and it is higher than the market on weekdays.
That Feng Sanye relied on the only meat stall in the town, and deceived her family to use money to reduce the price.
She thought that she would have to deal with him in the future, and it was not good to sell it to others and offend him.
But the money is in front of you, and you can't take care of it.
It is important to treat your father-in-law.
But the child didn't do it.
"Uncle, how can you be like this, let's say okay, it's six coins of silver."
"Hey! Child, who told you that it was always you, we didn't agree. Yan Yu said loudly.
"Besides, who gave you the account of the lake, can live sheep and mutton be the same price? Sheep's head sheepskin and sheep bones can not be eaten, a sheep goes to these to go to the internal organs and water, more than half of the meat, thirty catties to give you four dollars of silver, four hundred and eighty copper plates, one catty of meat sixteen, we still lose! ”
The kid was stunned by Yan Yu's reckoning.
The little fists clenched, trying to refute, but they didn't know what to say.
The sheep weighed sixty catties and was weighed by Feng Sanye when he brought a scale to receive the goods last time, and the price of pork and mutton was eavesdropped on the side of the meat stall, and the account was calculated by asking someone to help him.
He suddenly remembered that his father had said when he was at home that live sheep were cheaper than slaughtered mutton, and he thought that he had given up a lot, but it was not enough? Half as much?
didn't want to show his cowardice, the child glared at her viciously, "Four coins are four dollars, I want silver, not copper plates!" ”
The woman took the money, and Yan Lao Er tied the sheep to the side of the ox cart.
They all walked far away and were caught up by children.
Reluctantly, he touched the ewe and asked, "Will your family still collect sheep in the future?" ”
He asked his mother, and knew that the child on the ox cart was right, and he was a little embarrassed, and his eyelids drooped slightly.
Yan Yu asked, "Do you still have it at home?" Why don't you pull it out together? ”
This is a ewe, and it is more cost-effective to raise than to eat.
If you still have sheep, go back and buy them.
Suck up, saliva retreat!
"I still have three lambs in my house, and I still have to raise them, but I know who has them, and if you take them back, I will bring them to you." The child looked at her expectantly.
Yan Yu looked at him carefully, no, she.
It's very clever, and I know how to deliver it to my door.
"That wasteland in Linxi, our village is right there, my family's surname is Yan, you can find out when you inquire in the past."
She guessed the little girl's thoughts, wanted to sell at a high price, and maybe wanted to make a little money in the middle?
"But it's okay, you bring the sheep here, there is no price today, and we will charge as much as the market price."
The child thought for a moment and nodded heavily.
She can figure out that the money that this family doesn't want to kill sheep is better than what Feng Sanye gave.
