"Auntie, can I go along?" Jiro asked cautiously.

"Hmm." Zhang Zezhen nodded.

"I'll go too!"

"I'll go too!"

"No problem, my aunt will take you to the morning market."

The children were very happy, but Zhang Yangshi was worried, for fear that the sales would not be good, and in that case, the family would be even more embarrassed.

After waiting for 3 days, the dried fish was finally dried, Zhang Zezhen packed up her things, and prepared to take the three babies to the morning market.

Before going out, Zhang Yangshi handed his daughter a few copper plates and instructed: "Zhenzhen, don't be tired when you go out, your mother will give you some money, and you will come back when you are tired." ”

Zhang Zezhen smiled, her mother didn't believe that she could make money at all. But she didn't contradict it, but just responded: "Okay mother, wait for me to come back." ”

"Take care of your aunt on the road, do you hear? If anything happens to Zhenzhen, see if I come back and don't kill you! ”

"Got it, grandma, we'll take good care of my aunt." The children were so frightened that they hurriedly replied.

Due to the distance of the Peach Blossom Village Ion Market, when they arrived, it was almost over.

Some of the merchants who sell well have already sold their stuff and are ready to go home.

Most of the rest of the population are people who are close to the market or live in nearby towns.

Da Lang found a place with a lot of people and put the basket down.

"Auntie, let's sell it here."

Zhang Zezhen nodded.

Compared with Da Lang, Erlang followed his father, who was more shy and embarrassed to shout loudly.

San Lang is only five years old, and he doesn't know a lot of things, he only knows what his aunt tells him to do, and he does it, so he shouts hardest.

Among the pedestrians who came and went around, someone walked over to her and said with a smile: "Girl, I have eaten this dried fish, and it has no taste at all, and it is not as delicious as pickles." ”

Originally, some people saw that the dried fish was fresh and wanted to buy it and taste it, but when they heard him say this, they were all discouraged.

Zhang Zezhen saw that this was not good, so he picked up a dried fish, divided it into several sections, and then said to the customers who were watching the excitement: "Sir, don't be in a hurry to draw conclusions, come, try the dried fish I pickled myself, and see how it tastes?" ”

The man couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Zhang Zezhen so generous, after all, dried fish is a rare food in the plains, and the little girl is so generous, which makes him feel a little embarrassed.

A woman was happy to taste the free food, but who was not happy to be cheap, so she picked it up and tasted it, "Wow, this tastes so delicious, how can you sell it?" ”

"Two for 10 cents."

As soon as the words came out, even Da Lang was dumbfounded, this is too expensive. More than the price of a meat bun.

The woman said, "How expensive is that?" Two such small fish are worth 10 cents."

"Auntie, you can't say that, I don't have this fish all year round, and we plain people rarely eat fish, not to mention that I am a fresh fish, freshly killed, pickled and dried, and the price of salt alone exceeds my fish."

"And scarcity is expensive, you see that I have dozens of fish, all of which are fine fish that we personally caught in the river."

"Do you think my fish is worth ten cents?"

In ancient times, salt was a scarce commodity, so pickled fish was worth the money. And this kind of food itself is aimed at people above the middle and high-end. The poor cannot afford to eat.

After listening to Zhang Zezhen's introduction, those who couldn't afford it took a look and left.

The remaining people who have money to spare continue to wait and see.

"Such a girl, seeing that your fish tastes good, if you are cheaper, I will buy two." The woman continued to bargain.

"Come on, auntie, I see that you are sincerely buying, I am also the first day to open today, buy two get one free for this fish, buy three for 10 yuan. If you eat well, come back next time. ”

The woman is a local resident, and her family used to be in business, and her financial situation is relatively well-off, so 10 yuan is a small amount of money for her.

"Okay! The little girl is also a cheerful person, so get me three. The woman said with a smile, and then took out 10 yuan and gave it to Zhang Zezhen.

Da Lang is responsible for loading the fish, and Zhang Zezhen is responsible for collecting the money.

Seeing that the woman had bought it, the other people who were watching also decided to try it, and shouted, "Bring me three, and I'll go back and taste them." ”

"Bring me six, my grandson loves fish."

"I complained about the rest, we have never seen this kind of fish in our family, buy it and try it."

I was very happy to see everyone buying pickled fish in an endless stream, but I didn't expect to become a businessman.

In this way, all 100 fish were sold out in less than two hours.

"Auntie, I didn't expect our pickled fish to really make money, you are really amazing." Jiro happily kept complimenting.

On the way, everyone counted and earned a total of 500 Wen, holding this heavy small copper plate, she began to think in her heart.

500 wen is not even the usual money, and the money for auxiliary materials has to be removed, which is 450 wen, which is far from 90 yuan. But it's been 4 days, but what's okay?

"Girl, wait a minute!" The three of them heard a shout from behind.

Zhang Zezhen looked back and saw that it was the man who bought the fish just now, could it be that he came to return the money?

"Girl, are you still selling dried fish tomorrow?" The man asked breathlessly.

"I won't be able to sell it tomorrow."

"Why is that?"

Zhang Zezhen reluctantly explained: "It takes us half a day to catch fish, and the process of salting and drying takes 3-4 days, so we ......."

"Oh, that's right, girl, you wait a minute, I'll come when I go."

Zhang Zezhen nodded, and the man turned around and ran towards a sedan chair. This man was dressed noblely, and he was supposed to be a servant of a large family, not like an ordinary person.

I saw the man open the curtain of the sedan chair, and after talking to the people inside, they walked towards Zhang Zezhen.

At this time, a rich lady slowly got down from the sedan chair, and the people next to her were carefully supporting.

"Girl, this is my young lady Gu Jin, and I am the housekeeper of the Gu family."

"Hello two." Zhang Zezhen saluted and greeted.

"You made this dried fish? Gu Jin asked.

"Yes, I did it, did the girl eat it to her taste?"

"No, it's so palatable, can you teach our kitchen how to make it, I can pay for your secret recipe?"

Zhang Zezhen was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and she couldn't figure out the situation.

Seeing this, Steward Gu hurriedly explained: "Girl, that's the case, my young lady has a bad spleen and stomach, and Lang Zhong suggested that she usually eat less dried fish." However, we have also bought dried fish from many large shops, and the young lady thinks the taste is average and does not want to eat it. ”

"I wanted to come to the morning market to see what the people were creative. I didn't expect my young lady to eat your dried fish and have a great appetite, so let's see if you can go to the house and teach the kitchen how to make it. ”

"Well, it's okay, but ......" Zhang Zezhen was very excited, she didn't expect her cooking skills to be so sought after.

"It's okay, I can pay, how about 50? You write down the recipe. Gu Jin added.

When the four of them heard 50 times, they were instantly dumbfounded, and the big family was generous.

"Or do you say a price?"

Zhang Zezhen thought about it, now the family is in urgent need of money, and paying off the debts for the eldest brother is the key.

"Miss Gu, let me have an idea, do you think you can accept it?"

"Yes, you say."

"100 yuan to give you the recipe, I will go to the house to personally teach you how to make dried fish until your kitchen learns it, how about this?"

"This ......" Steward Gu and his own young lady glanced at each other.

"Done!" Steward Gu readily agreed.

Zhang Zezhen didn't expect that they would be able to agree to this request to double the price.

"However, we have one condition, today you give us the recipe first, we will pay 50 yuan first, and the other 50 yuan, when will the kitchen learn it, when will it be paid again, how about it?"

"No problem, but now I don't have a pen, how can I write to you?"

"You can tell me, the old man's memory is fine."

So Zhang Zezhen said the recipe in Steward Gu's ear, and the Gu family was very honest, and directly handed her a cloth bag, which contained 5 taels of gold, equivalent to 50 yuan.

At the same time, Steward Gu also told Zhang Zezhen where she lived, and informed her to come tomorrow morning.

After the deal was completed, the two parties went their separate ways.

"Auntie, we're rich, aren't we?" Erlang asked his aunt happily.

"Well, let's go, go to the market and buy a chicken and celebrate!"

Dalang: ......

Jiro: Really?

Saburo: There's meat to eat!

These chickens and pigs are foods that can only be eaten during the New Year, and who is usually willing to eat meat.

Since my aunt was arched by a pig that day, the family has completely changed from eating and drinking spicy food.

When they come to the place where the chickens are sold, they may know their fate and flutter and howl desperately.

"Boss, how much does this chicken cost?" Zhang Zezhen asked.

"The box on the left is 40 Wen, the box on the right is 50 Wen, and the box in front of you is a hen, and it costs 60 Wen."

"Is there any difference between a 40 and 50 rooster?" Zhang Zezhen couldn't see any difference between the two baskets of chickens.

"The chickens of these 50 Wen are very sturdy, and the meat is relatively tender and fresh."

"The 40 Wen chicken is cooked, and the taste will be slightly worse." The owner explained carefully.

After becoming an anchor, Zhang Zezhen's expenses are relatively large, and he can't do without meat, and now he has traveled to ancient times, and he can't be too wronged himself, and he has to choose a "strong and handsome" chicken.

She went straight to the "50 Wenji area" and carefully selected, and the three children also followed closely behind her aunt.

Zhang Zezhen compared and compared, and jumped out of the two best-looking roosters, especially the cockscomb part, which is obviously different from other roosters.

Then compare the two and ask the children, "Look, which of the two roosters is stronger?" ”

"I think this one, watch how happy it is." Da Lang speaks his mind.

Erlang said: "This one next to it is also very good, the surrounding group of roosters dare not provoke it, or this one is more powerful." ”

Saburo didn't speak, for him, it was good to have meat to eat.

Zhang Zezhen looked at it and decided to listen to Erlang's suggestion.

"Boss, give money, it's exactly 50 Wen, you count."

"All right, girl." The boss helped pack the chicken and handed it to Zhang Zezhen.

The four of them returned with a full load and walked happily towards the house, Da Lang and Erlang were in the front and one in the back, protecting the safety of the old aunt, Da Lang led San Lang, and Zhang Zezhen was holding the chicken and pretending to be money.

On the way, he met a group of people gathered together, and Erlang, who loved to watch the excitement, squeezed in, Zhang Zezhen was afraid that he would get lost, so he hurriedly followed, and kept shouting: "Erlang, don't run around, be careful of getting lost." ”

Zhang Zezhen squeezed in and saw that there were two chickens in the middle, fighting, is this the legendary cockfight?

I saw that the men on the right were very excited, while the men on the left had a sad face, and it seemed that the chicken on the right had the upper hand. After a while, the two chickens decided the winner, and the chicken on the left turned and fled.

The owner of the chicken was so angry that he picked up the chicken, dropped the silver and left.

This action made Zhang Zezhen see a business opportunity, and she decided to talk to the eldest brother.

With that, she walked over to the big brother who had lost the money.

The other party was tall, dark-skinned, and angry, and when he saw such a fat girl coming, he thought he was looking for trouble, and immediately became vigilant.

"Is there anything wrong with this girl?"
