There is a small courtyard attached to the back of the Qingxin Hall, which is a place to dry medicinal herbs.

The boss led Ye Chunni inside, and introduced himself: "My surname is Mo, what do you call the girl?" ”

"My name is Ye Chunni, and this is my mother."

Boss Mo was secretly surprised when he heard Ye Chunni's generous appearance.

He is also a man who has seen a lot of the world, and he doesn't need to guess that this girl has braids and her clothes are full of patches, and she knows that she came from the countryside.

But Ye Chunni did not have the cowardice and timidity of rural people at all, but was generous, neither humble nor arrogant.

But the mother who followed her cowered all the way, and didn't even dare to raise her eyes a little more, which was what a rural person looked like when he entered the city.

After all, Boss Mo is old and slippery, what he thought in his heart was not shown on his face at all, and he enthusiastically brewed a pot of tea, and after greeting Ye Chunni to drink tea, he entered the topic: "Miss Ye, can you pour out all the earth dragons in the jar and take a look?" ”

Ye Chunni replied yes, and slowly poured the earth dragon on the prepared dustpan.

A bunch of black earthworms writhed on the dustpan, Boss Mo didn't feel disgusted at all, and personally grabbed a few with his hands to watch carefully.

The first time she brought goods out to do business, Ye Chunni used one hundred and twenty points of heart.

She has carefully selected each of these earth dragons, and each one is thicker than her index finger, and you can see how satisfied Boss Mo is from the shining eyes.

Ye Chunni could see that Boss Mo's operation just now was testing her, and she really felt funny in her heart.

But she is not afraid, the goods she brought out are of the highest quality, if Boss Mo thinks that she is from the countryside and does not know a village girl with big characters, and will be fooled, it is a big mistake.

"Miss Ye, I have accepted these earth dragons from Qingxin Hall." Boss Mo finally finished reading it with satisfaction, stretched out eight fingers and shook it, and said with a smile: "I'll give you the highest price, the purchase price is eight cents a catty!" ”

Ye Chunni: ...... Nani?!!

Liang Liying, who had been silent next to her, instantly widened her eyes, eight, eight cents a pound? Can this muddy thing in the countryside really be exchanged for money?

Now one yuan can buy five catties of rice, and eight cents is a full four catties of rice!

Liang Liying was surprised and delighted, and even more excited, their mother and daughter really need money now! Rice is needed so much!

Liang Liying subconsciously wanted to agree, but she spoke one step slower than Ye Chunni.

"Cents?"

Ye Chunni raised her eyebrows, "Boss Mo, are you kidding me?" ”

"What's teasing you? Miss Ye," Boss Mo said very sincerely: "I am sincere in doing business with you." ”

"Chunni......" Liang Liying pulled her daughter's sleeve a little uneasily, and used a volume that the two of them could only hear: "The price is not low." ”

Ye Chunni gave her a slightly calm look.

"Boss Mo, don't look at us, we come from the countryside and don't understand anything." Ye Chunni said crisply: "Before coming to you, I went to inquire about the market price, and the purchase price of the earth dragon was sixteen yuan a catty." ”

Of course, she didn't inquire, and this price was also heard from the customer in later generations that Dilong was about ten yuan a catty, so she made up a price randomly.

But looking at Boss Mo's expression, she was right.

A dozen dollars and eight cents, that's far from it!

It seems that no matter what era it is, profiteers can meet it.

Boss Mo's face changed quickly a few times, and it was a little ugly to be exposed by a young girl who exposed his careful thoughts.

At first, he did think that a teenage girl was easy to fool, and it seemed that he was wrong.

Thinking of this, Boss Mo couldn't help but put away his contemptuous attitude.

"Miss Ye," Boss Mo's tone did not change, but he could hear that his voice was serious: "That's right, the purchase price of the earth dragon on the market is about ten yuan a catty, but the people are doing it." ”

What?

This time it was Ye Chunni's turn to be surprised.

"The earthworms should be cleaned first, then sprinkled with some plant ash, and the slime on their bodies should be removed with plant ash, cleaned again, and then the earthworms should be broken open and the internal organs cleaned."

Boss Mo said: "The most important step is in the back, put all the cleaned earthworms neatly on the wooden frame to dry, pay attention to be neatly placed, not bent, not circled." Only the purchase price of this kind of high-quality Dilonggan can reach more than ten yuan a catty. ”

"But Miss Ye, look," Boss Mo grabbed a live earthworm with his hand, "Although these earth dragons of yours are big, they still require me to spend some effort to deal with, so naturally I can't give you much price." ”

Ye Chunni secretly choked her wrists, blaming herself for not figuring it out in advance before, it turned out that she didn't just catch the earthworm.

But she won't be annoyed on the surface, doing business with people, and her momentum is suppressed by the other party, how can she play?

"Then Boss Mo, it's too low for you to give eight cents a pound."

Ye Chunni stretched out her hands and deliberately sold miserably: "You see that in order to catch these earth dragons, my hands are muddy and injured, you can't push my price too low, I just want to eat." ”

Her little girl said sincerely and pitifully, she had already made up her mind not to change the price, Boss Mo couldn't help but soften, "Nine cents, if you can accept it, we will make a deal." ”

"Boss Mo, look at my mother's hands, they are more vicissitudes than mine."

Ye Chunni took Liang Liying's hands: "It's so cold, we stayed up in the field all night." Five dollars, you will definitely not lose. ”

"You're a good little girl."

Boss Mo waved his hand again and again: "I still have to hire someone to deal with this batch of earth dragons, which is also a lot of expenses." That's it, it's not easy to see you two mothers and daughters, I give the highest and highest price, five a piece, you will never find this good price outside. ”

"Three."

Ye Chunni made a gesture to take the earth dragon back into the clay pot, "If Boss Mo is unwilling, I will have to go to two more medicinal herb shops." ”

"Hey, hey, you little girl, the earth dragons have all poured out, why do you have to put it back?"

Boss Mo hurriedly stopped her, stomped her foot, and her face was full of painful expressions: "Two pieces of five, it really can't be more!" ”

Ye Chunni thought for a while: "Okay, deal." ”

For fear that she would regret it, Boss Mo acted quickly and shouted to the young man in the shop to take the scale out.

One scale, no more, no less, exactly ten catties.

Although Boss Mo lowered the price very much, it was refreshing to give the money, and he immediately counted twenty-five yuan to Ye Chunni.

Ye Chunni remembers that in 1986, the maximum denomination of banknotes was 10 yuan, and it was not until April 1987 that 50 yuan banknotes began to be in circulation.

So now ten pieces is the "great unity" of the eighties.

Ye Chunni pinched the two big unity sheets in her hand, and five pieces of one, and after two days, she was a little relieved at this moment.

"Miss Ye," Boss Mo didn't forget to greet: "There are also earth dragons, you can continue to send them to me." ”

Ye Chunni smiled, didn't agree or refuse, and only said: "Say it again." ”
