waited until the last trip was over, and Ye Congwen and Shi Shiran followed the porter and walked towards the market. The scorching sun is slanting in the west, and the autumn wind is already a little cool, and it is estimated that it is about three o'clock in the afternoon.

In the past, the people who rushed to the market have returned home one after another. But now is different from the past, the crowd keeps converging to the market like flowing water, and the people who run with large bags and small bags in their hands should be repeat customers, and there must be some good things waiting for them to buy at a low price.

I heard the enthusiastic shouting of pigeon bean sprouts from a distance, and it seemed that everyone had surrounded me several times. This is not the focus of Ye Congwen's attention, his eyes quickly swept around, he didn't see a familiar figure, and he couldn't hear a familiar voice, he chuckled in his heart, he did a full set of plays, the protagonist didn't enter, didn't he act in vain?

"Let's go, here comes the fresh pioneer beef—"

Five swarthy men rushed in, the onlookers on both sides gave way, a load of red beef seemed to still have residual warmth, with the shaking basket as if it had life, the large pieces of fresh meat swayed up and down, left and right, making people have a great appetite.

The pigeon bean sprouts enthusiastically cleaned the huge cutting board, two or three meters long and more than one meter wide, with clear lines on the front and shiny oil, sawn from a pine tree, durable and incorruptible for a hundred years. At the moment, it has been polished by pigeon bean sprouts.

"Little girl, how have you thought about what I said, this price is very high, and there is no second person in Qingshan Town!"

A man with strong limbs was anxious on the sidelines, faintly showing signs of an explosion.

"Meat is just to be sold, I don't care how much I earn, anyway, my task is to sell it, as for how many pennies a pound to sell?"

Pigeon Bean Sprouts smiled happily:

"Then it depends on the sincerity of the old folks!"

pinched his throat, motioned for everyone to mute with both hands, and shouted loudly:

"Buy five catties and get eight percent off!

Buy ten catties and get seven discounts!

Buy 20 catties and get 6% off!

All over 50 catties are 50% off! ”

Before the words landed, there was a boom and the surroundings were like exploding pots, and everyone began to discuss it, lest they fall behind. There was also a weak voice asking:

"What if you only buy one or two pounds?"

"A pound or two? The price is increased by two cents per catty, and you have to go to the back to line up! ”

Pigeon Bean Sprouts replied nonchalantly, while leading the five people to arrange the meat neatly, and when the number was counted, Ye Congwen walked slowly and methodically with small steps, and said in his heart that Brother Congwen was calm.

The reckless man with strong limbs saw Ye Congwen walking slowly, and greeted him anxiously, as if he had seen the savior Immortal Bodhisattva, and he cried out from afar:

"Brother Xiaowen, I'm finally looking forward to you! This little girl is so ignorant! ”

"Yo-Boss Chen, what kind of wind blew you here? This poisonous day is empty, it's not good to enjoy the cool at home, what kind of excitement do you have in my shop? ”

Ye Congwen saw that the number one beast trainer in Qingshan Town had taken the bait, thinking that there were still two peers who did not deal with this person who had not shown up, so he greeted him with a haha, and he talked about him left and right, and never got to the point.

"I'm about to be by this little girl! Who's the girl? It's not soaked in oil and salt! ”

"Oh, my distant cousin, where did she mess with you, I asked her to come over and apologize." Ye Congwen replied with a straight face.

"Don't talk about her, don't talk about her."

Seeing the little girl swinging buckets of mangg beef on the butcher's table, her heart swayed back and forth like fifteen buckets, and she complained rather depressedly:

"What's going on in your tower village recently, such a good pioneer cow is actually killed to sell meat, my heart is dripping blood! What about my pioneer cow? ”

"Isn't it on the butcher's table?"

Ye Congwen's eyes revealed a charm of looking at the blind. The reckless man surnamed Chen immediately exploded:

"Alive, alive! I want to live! ”

You still mention meat to me, don't you know that I'm the best animal trainer in Qingshan Town? Haven't you seen anyone who loves animals since you were a child, if it weren't for the sake of the strong man in Tieta Village-can't beat it-, believe it or not, I will seal your shop?

"My little brother Wen, I have been waiting for eight months for today's day. Do you know how hard life is for us animal trainers without the pioneer cow?

Now it's okay, looking forward to the stars and the moon is finally here, but you pulled a boatload of reckless beef for me, don't you want my old life? ”

"Hey! Do you think I don't want to? Who doesn't earn money if they have money! ”

Ye Congwen sighed for a long time, and said with pity:

"I have already caught it alive, who knows that my cousin is mischievous and runs over to touch the red hair on the cow, and you also know that the pioneer cow has a bright color.

accidentally opened the cable, and the cow ran away, not to mention, chasing the little girl and stepping on it, almost killing someone. No, if Brother Wolf chops over with an axe, he will become a headless cow corpse, and I was scolded for this.

But things have happened, and there is no way to do it, human lives are at stake! ”

Ye Congwen made up half-truths and half-truths, and he couldn't help others not believe it. After hearing this, Mang Han Chen's eyes looked at the pigeon bean sprouts even sharper, like a sharp sword, just like a dagger, the cold light flashed, cold and vicious.

"Even though it makes sense, you can't eat it if you kill it by mistake?"

The reckless man shouted bitterly, looked at the bright red beef, and gritted his teeth and said:

"If a holy relic like this made in heaven dies unexpectedly, we should have a funeral ceremony in a beautiful manner, kneel three times and bow nine times, offer flowers from time to time, and burn paper to pay tribute every year.

How can you be so neat, directly peel the skin and sell beef, this is a pioneer cow! Are you a scalper on the bad street? ”

Ye Congwen saw that the more he talked, the more excited he became, as if someone had killed his father and taken away his wife and children, Ye Congwen tried to soothe his equally excited heart, and asked pretending to be puzzled:

"Is there a doorway in this?"

"It's a big reason!"

was about to popularize the theory of karma and heavenly cycle for Ye Congwen, and saw at a glance that the little girl actually started selling beef! The hand rises and falls, as if a knife is cutting on one's body.

"Tell your cousin to stop this cruel behavior, I'm going to faint."

"Little bean sprouts, we'll sell them later!"

As soon as Ye Congwen's voice fell, the crowd of onlookers booed, and even the pigeon bean sprouts frowned and said, "What the hell are you doing?" ”

"You can see it too, the crowd is angry, let's make a long story short, give you three minutes!"

"This is the secret of our animal tamer's ancestor, you must know that every industry has the habit of supporting the ancestor, and our food, clothing, housing and transportation are obtained by domesticating the pioneer cattle, how can we watch the ancestor being robbed of food?"

"So the pioneer cow is the bread and butter of your business?"

"It can be said that but what is even more terrible is that if the residents of the town eat the meat of the holy cow and are discovered by the ancestor and the crime is lowered, from now on, our Qingshan Town may no longer be able to domesticate the pioneer cow."

"No, it's so mysterious?"

Ye Congwen was skeptical, although he had been prepared in his heart, he never expected that there would be so much attention to it, he thought it was just a group of cattle lovers——— seeing this situation, I have to change the plan to sell at a discount, well, I have to add money!

"It is better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have."

Seeing that Ye Congwen was a little hesitant, the reckless man Chen hurriedly pulled over the other two beast trainers and acted as lobbyists.

The other two strong men, one fat and one thin, looked preoccupied, although they were not good at words, but their solemn faces were clearly engraved: I am the same. Among them, the fat one even buttoned crookedly, and it is estimated that he hurried over as soon as he got up, and his sleepy eyes were hazy, which showed that he was full of sincerity.

"We can't gamble on the future of our children and grandchildren, what if it turns out? Brother Xiao Wen, you have to sell my face no matter what, how can you say that the relationship between our beast trainer and Tieta Village for so many years is still good, you Ye Wuxian seniors and my father often eat together. ”

"Brother Congwen, what are you doing, if you don't sell it again, it will be dark!"

The pigeon bean sprouts shouted impatiently, and the little face gradually blackened, and there was an urge to go crazy at any time!

"If you don't sell it yet, if you don't want to sell it, we'll leave!"

The onlookers threatened one after another, and some even rushed to the front to directly lift meat and throw money.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the three animal trainers no longer talked to Ye Congwen, and ran to the slaughtering table to surround the pioneer beef tightly, shouting loudly:

"Don't sell, don't sell, we've got everything."

Ye Congwen saw that the results were beginning to appear, and his heart blossomed, but it was not the time to close the net, and he still needed pigeon bean sprouts to add fire.

"How old are you, why do you sell it to the three of you!"

"Your cousin Ye Congwen agreed!"

"Yes, yes, yes! We bought them all for double the price! ”

To be rich is to be proud, to speak loudly, and to speak loudly.

"Brother Congwen, what the hell are you doing, you secretly sold it all to them, what should I do, these fathers and villagers have been queuing for a long time, do you want to drive them away?"

Pigeon Bean Sprouts paused, gritted his teeth and said unreasonably:

"Today, even if the invincible grandfather comes, I won't follow. Our people in Tieta Village have always counted when they speak, a mouthful of spit and a nail, and they will never regret what they have said! ”

stuck out his tongue at the three of them, and said angrily: "I won't sell it to you, I'll be angry with you!" ”

The three looked at each other helplessly in frustration, so they had no choice but to save the country and look at Ye Congwen with a bitter face.

Ye Congwen pinched his fingers and calculated, an ordinary scalper is fifteen wen a catty, a double price is thirty, three thousand catties is nine gold coins, and he took out a hanging copper coin to appease and appease the emotions of the onlookers, it was perfect! I'm afraid that I won't be able to sell it at noon, and the stupid idea of preparing a 50% off promotion has become obsolete. Clearing his throat, he said:

"Since this thing is so important to you, I can't bear to do things that hurt others and myself. What's more, our ancestors have a lot of friendship.

In this way, I will give you the price of ordinary yellow beef, fifteen wen a catty, and thirty wen at double the price. The beef erased the fraction and counted the whole number of three thousand catties, a total of nine gold coins. If you agree, you will nod, and we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”

Pigeon pea sprouts blinked their eyes, didn't they sell for eight wen a catty, why did it suddenly rise to thirty wen? More than 2,000 catties of beef are wiped into 3,000 catties, is it the legendary rounding method?

Nine gold coins, not far from ten, in this way, you don't have to suffer Ye Ruwolf's anger when you go back? With a quick turn of his eyes, he quietly covered the basket containing the cow's head.

The three strong men glanced at each other, three gold coins per person, and it was acceptable to share it evenly.

"Have you brought any money, first take a bunch of money out to calm down everyone's anger!"

Ye Congwen gave a few people a look. The black man Chen unhappily took out a string of copper coins and looked at Ye Congwen puzzled.

Ye Congwen walked in front of everyone with the hanging copper coin, and said aloud:

"My sister has delayed everyone's time today, and I'm here to make a compensatory to you."

While pointing to the three animal trainers, he pleaded for them:

The three masters also knew that it was immoral to take people's love, and in order to apologize, they specially took out a hanging copper coin to comfort everyone, so let's line up in turn and give each person three dollars to buy wine and drink! Guys don't want to be like cow lovers, okay? ”
