Chapter 619: Too much bargaining
At this moment, Hu Xiangcai was about to wake up, and when he got up and went out to relieve himself, the yin ghost Cao Yang saw him, and suddenly remembered that when he was robbed by a group of strongmen on the boat containing soybeans on the Chibi River, this strongman Hu Xiangcai with a black scar on the left side of his face slapped him.
Yin Soul Cao Yang was not angry, and he slapped Hu Xiangcai, who had just come out of the toilet. Seeing that Hu Xiangcai showed a painful look, the hand that could not be lifted because his wrist was still swollen and painful was touched, and he couldn't reach the face that needed to be touched. Hu Xiangcai felt more and more uncomfortable, but the yin soul Cao Yang was extremely happy.
Yin Soul Cao Yang said, I remember that you slapped me when you put me to death, and I will now slap you back, and finally turned around and leveled, no! If you want my life, I will take your life.
As far as he thinks about it, he doesn't know what is going on at all about the sudden pain and numbness on the left side of his face. He is a living person in the Yang world, of course, he can't see or hear the enemy standing in front of him - the yin soul Cao Yang slapped him and said to him, he just wanted to quickly go back to the wing room and lie on the bunk to see if it was better.
He also said to himself, my wrists have not healed, and this left face is in pain, I don't need to go to the hospital again, right?
Yin Soul Cao Yang could hear what Hu Xiangcai said, so he leaned in and said, no need, you can be a hundred in a hurry!
Hu Xiangcai couldn't feel the words and actions of the yin soul Cao Yang at all, he walked forward step by step, and he had to pass through an aisle connected to the stove room, and on one side of the aisle was a water tank full of water.
Hu Xiangcai was inadvertent, and when he was about to approach the edge of the water tank, he suddenly heard a "croak" sound, and the wooden cover that was originally on the mouth of the water tank was somehow overturned, and then fell to the ground.
Obviously, this is the yin soul Cao Yang overturning it, but Hu Xiangcai can't see him. Yin soul Cao Yang saw Hu Xiangcai clearly.
Hu Xiangcai felt that he couldn't pick up the wooden cover that had fallen on the ground, so he didn't care about it, but stood there stunned, his eyes looking around. And he whispered to himself, neither the cat nor the mouse, why did he have so much force to tear over the wooden lid of the water tank? Hmph, even if there are big cats and mice colluding together, they may not be able to overturn it, and this wooden cover is seven or eight catties to say the least. It's really strange, there must be a living ghost!
Yin Soul Cao Yang snickered, and when he saw Hu Xiangcai pulling away and sticking his head over to look at the water tank, he reached out and grabbed Hu Xiangcai's hair and pressed it towards the water tank, Hu Xiangcai, who was already choking, struggled desperately, causing strings of blisters to appear on the water surface of the water tank one after another.
The yin soul Cao Yang fiercely pressed Hu Xiangcai's head and didn't let go, and shouted with hatred, you pressed me Cao Yang to drown in the river, I will press your Hu Xiangcai in the tank and drown you today, and let you drown in the water, and report it back. You owe me a life, and I will let you pay for it.
Father Hu in the bedroom was still snoring, and Mother Hu, who was also lying down and sleeping, was awakened by the sound of something falling on the ground in the hallway, and she quickly woke up Father Hu who was lying on his side. Father Hu snorted, didn't speak, and continued to sleep.
Hu Mu said, you are really a dead pig, you can't wake up if you push it.
She had to get up by herself, light the candles, go out of the bedroom, and walk up the hallway, and when she glanced at the candlelight, she was almost stunned, and the back half of her body was upside down on the edge of the water tank, her legs were bare, and she was wearing only trousers, and she couldn't see her head, and her head was planted in the water tank.
She took a closer look and recognized that this person was her son Hu Xiangcai, so she stretched out a hand to pull him up, but what she pulled up was already a dead corpse, and when she touched her nostrils, there were bloodshots, and the person had already passed. Of course, he still has a little bit of body temperature, which means that it was just what happened.
Mother Hu suddenly shouted to the heavens and the earth, Lao Hu, it's not good, it's not good, something is wrong with money...... Repeat it many times, with a crying tone in your voice. At this time, the candle she was holding was trembling because her hand was trembling, so that the candlelight flickered, and the candle tears fell one after another.
I saw Father Hu coming over in his clothes and asked loudly, what happened?
Hu Mu pointed to Hu Xiangcai's corpse that she placed next to the water tank, the upper half of the wet corpse, and said in a choked voice, I don't know if I can't think about it, or if there are other reasons, he drowned in the water tank.
Father Hu approached to see his son's dead appearance, he was sad and angry, roaring and shouting, how did he get wow? …… I know that it is impossible to find a short circuit if I want money, and he may be guilty of another ghost......
On this day, Ma Hongce of Majiazhuang had just fed a black pig woman in the house, and now he was tickling it again, and slowly the black pig woman felt comfortable and lay down. It was under the wall of the hall near the pigsty, and there was some straw underneath. A black piglet without a tail happily bent down on the belly of the black pig woman and sucked the milk with relish.
Ma Hongce looked at the black piglet who was sucking and grinned.
His wife Shu Guihua looked at him and asked, what are you laughing at?
Ma Hongce replied, thinking it was very funny, this black piglet had no tail as soon as it was born, and it couldn't be sold.
Shu Guihua said, of course, other customers are uncomfortable to see, you see this sow gave birth to 7 piglets, and sold until only this piglet without a tail remains, I think it will be sold at a reduced price.
Ma Hongce said, a few days ago people came to see the piglets, I let the words out, generally good piglets are sold according to the gross weight of 8 hangings per catty, this piglet without a tail, according to the gross weight of 5 hangings per catty or even a little less money to sell, but still no one wants.
Shu Guihua said, people don't want it, we raise it at home, in fact, this black piglet is good except for the disadvantage of not having a long tail, and it is fat and strong.
Ma Hongce agrees, and that's the only way.
Ma Hongce only cared about talking, stopped and did not continue to tickle the black pig, and then it got up, and still screamed "hehe" in its mouth. The piglet, which had no tail, still moved with it, and the mouth that held its tits did not gnaw, but it had to stand on tiptoe to follow, and it had to give up because of the discomfort.
At this moment, a young man flashed out of the gate, carrying an empty basket with an open opening in his hand. Ma Hongce saw that his face was familiar, so he beckoned into the house. Then asked, are you Cao Bo's painting from Caojiazhuang?!
Cao Bohua replied with a shallow smile on his face, yes! I went to your house and wanted to catch a piglet and raise it.
Ma Hongce said with difficulty, there are no piglets.
Cao Bohua turned to look at the black piglet without a tail who was playing with the black pig woman in the hall, and stretched out his hand.
Ma Hongce said, do you want it? I'll tell you the truth, there's something wrong with that piglet.
Shu Guihua came over to help, and there was nothing wrong with it.
Cao Bohua said, I know, you mean that piglet was born without a long tail, right?
Ma Hongce and Shu Guihua nodded at the same time.
Cao Bohua said, it doesn't matter, I heard others say that your pig wife gave birth to a piglet without a tail, and plans to sell it cheaply. I'm here for this, how much cheaper can it be?
Ma Hongce said, of course, the price will be lower, normal piglets according to the gross weight of 8 hangs per catty, this piglet, in fact, there is no big problem, that is, there is no tail, according to the gross weight of 5 hangs per catty. If you want it, I'll catch it right away, weigh it with a clip scale, and sell it to you.
Cao Bohua said with a smile on his face, can it be cheaper?
Ma Hongce pondered for a long time before responding, one less penny per catty, okay?
Cao Bohua said, of course you can, according to your statement, it is sold according to the gross weight of 4 hangings per catty, isn't it? But I think the number 4 is not very lucky, can it be calculated according to 3 hangs per catty. While speaking, there is an association, and it is very realistic to make sense, the number 3 is very auspicious, there is a sentence in the Book of Changes, I don't remember it completely, it probably goes something like this, one life is two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. Look how good this is! A number of 4 is not very good. Bargging, he looked at Ma Hongce and persuaded, think about it.
Ma Hongce didn't answer, Shu Guihua frowned, obviously bargaining so much, the couple was not very happy.
Cao Bohua asked again, is it okay? He also put the empty basket in front of him, and said, if you can, this empty basket will be weighed first, see if the nest has a good weight, and then catch the black piglet without a tail into the basket and say, with the total weight, and then reduce the weight of the nest is the net gross weight of the piglet, and I will pay according to the net gross weight.
Ma Hongce smiled wryly, but still did not speak.
Shu Guihua raised her hand and pointed to the door and said, you go, you go, the price is too cheap, we don't think it's cost-effective.
Cao Bohua picked up the empty basket and turned around and walked to the door of the hall, one front leg just stepped out of the threshold, and Ma Hongce stopped him again, slow down.
Cao Bohua did not stop, but walked out of the threshold, turned to look at him and asked, have you thought about it? According to the selling price I said, calculated by gross weight, 3 hangings per catty.
Ma Hongce said, can this be the case? Your empty basket is not too heavy anyway, even if it is weighed together with the gross weight of the piglet, that is, it is weighed with the piglet, and the price is calculated according to how many catties.
Cao Bo rolled his eyes and said, okay! Stepping into the threshold again.
