Chapter 31: Changing the Meat
Gao Mingcheng looked at the middle-aged man who was going to buy honey, and the middle-aged man stared at the can and bottle for a while, before nodding and saying, "Just count it as seven taels." ”
Two catties and three taels minus seven taels, the net content of honey is one catty and six taels, according to one catty and seven yuan, this jar of honey will cost eleven yuan and two cents.
Gao Mingcheng calculated the account in person, and then took the initiative to erase the two cents.
"A total of eleven dollars and two cents, you are the first to buy it, charge you less than two cents, just give eleven dollars."
The two cents in this year and the two cents in later generations are not the same concept, so when he heard that Gao Mingcheng took the initiative to reduce the two cents, the middle-aged man immediately smiled.
"Good! Young man, you are honest in business! You got this honey from the mountains? Is it easy to get? He was talking as he pulled money out of his trouser pocket.
Where would Gao Mingcheng tell the truth, and said exaggeratedly: "It's not good, for this bit of honey, I was stung by a swarm of bees more than ten times, and my whole body was swollen for several days, but it hurt me to death!" Hey, it's not easy to make some money! If honey is easy to get, then everyone can eat it! ”
Most people in the countryside have been stung by various insects, the most powerful ones are wasps and caterpillars, which are all poisonous.
Bees are relatively better, but the pain is not light.
At this time, a person suddenly said: "Last year, a young man in our village went to dig a honeycomb in the mountains and was stung by a wasp, and his whole face was swollen and he couldn't open his eyes!" Forget it, but within two days, the young man died! Called the doctor at the health center to see it, and said that he was poisoned! Hey, so that the people in our village no longer dare to dig the honeycomb. ”
"Gao Mingcheng, I advise you to go less, this person, I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case."
The man called out Gao Mingcheng's name, Gao Mingcheng followed the prestige, and when he saw the person for the first time, he only felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who the person was and what his name was.
Because of his age, Gao Mingcheng said casually: "Uncle, I know, I'm running fast!" ”
"Haha, yes, you are a fast runner, you did bad things when you were a child, you were chased and beaten by your father, and you came to our village!"
This man's words caused a group of people to laugh, after all, the people present were from the nearby village.
And Gao Mingcheng is famous for being good at fighting, so Gao Mingcheng may not all know them, but they all know Gao Mingcheng.
Gao Mingcheng smiled awkwardly and accepted the money handed over by the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man carefully held the honey steadily, pointed to the bag at Gao Mingcheng's feet, and asked curiously, "What's in there?" ”
"It's a cauliflower snake, do you want it? There are about three catties. ”
Gao Mingcheng tried his best to sell this cauliflower snake, which would be enough for him to buy a pound of good meat to eat.
However, the middle-aged man was also afraid of snakes, and when he heard that it was a cauliflower snake, he immediately took a few steps back, waved his hand and left.
didn't sell it, and Gao Mingcheng was not discouraged. He began to shout again, but the high price of honey was not affordable for everyone.
Gao Mingcheng stayed in the market for another half an hour, and when he saw that no one came to buy it, he planned to leave.
Tomorrow is the county town's set, there are many rich people in the county, and they also pursue nutritious things, and they will definitely sell it well when they are taken to the county seat.
Thinking so, Gao Mingcheng picked up his things and prepared to leave, of course, before leaving, he had to buy some more things, so he went to buy two fried dough sticks and ten steamed buns, and finally walked to the meat stall.
"I'll take this cauliflower snake in exchange for a pound of pork for you, do you think it's okay?" Gao Mingcheng shook the bag in his hand.
Gao Zhuang is afraid of snakes, and Grandma Xiao never eats snakes, and it is useless to take this snake back, if it can be exchanged for a pound of pork, it is not bad.
The meat seller was a little interested, and motioned for Gao Mingcheng to open the bag, he wanted to take a look first.
After seeing the cauliflower snake in the bag and making sure that it was still alive, the meat seller weighed it with a scale, and even the snake brought the bag, a total of three catties and two taels.
The market price of this snake meat is not fixed, but it is about eight or nine cents a catty, and the current meat price is eight for good meat, five for almost one piece, and it will be cheaper when it goes into the water.
The good meat on his stall is almost sold, and the rest is only sold for a piece of five, so it is quite cost-effective to exchange a pound of meat for a snake.
Thinking about it like this, the meat seller agreed to exchange and cut a piece of lean meat for Gao Mingcheng.
At this time, the fat front leg meat is good meat, and there is oil and water, the meat is also soft and tender, the hind leg meat is almost, the pig often kneels on the ground, the hind legs are not as active as the front legs, and the meat quality is also old.
After the exchange was successful, Gao Mingcheng went back with his things.
And when he walked towards Gaojia Village, three people also walked towards Gaojia Village, and had already reached the foot of Niuweiling.
Along the way, they avoided the people of the village and therefore went undetected.
It's just that when he was at the foot of the mountain in Niuweiling, the well-informed old man immediately found some traces, he looked at it carefully, and whispered to his two sons: "Someone has put a trap at the foot of the mountain, you should be careful later, don't let people see it." ”
"Hmm." The two sons were also alert and responded softly.
The kind of set of prey cover, if people accidentally step on it, it will be more troublesome, and there is a kind of trap made of digging pits, if people fall, if they are unlucky, they will die, because some pits will be upside down some sharpened bamboo, so that after the prey falls, it will be stabbed by the bamboo, and it is difficult to run away.
The father and son cautiously entered the mountain, and although Gao Zhuang was already on the side of Oxtail Ridge at this time, he was on another hillside, and he had recently found a few rabbit nests and was thinking about how to dig out rabbit nests.
When the father and son were walking from a mountain road, Gao Zhuang turned his back to him and happened not to see it.
Although the father and son entered the mountain safely, the whole mountain was very vast, and it was not easy to find the ancient tomb.
However, when the ancients were buried, they paid attention to feng shui, and when looking at feng shui, they had to climb to the top of the mountain first, look at the terrain of the whole mountain, and then select a few places with great possibilities, and then carefully explore them.
However, hundreds of years have passed, the terrain must have changed, and the tomb bag is long gone.
When they reached the top to watch the feng shui, Gao Mingcheng had already rushed over.
In his previous life, the group of people went into the mountains to look for the grave today, although he was not sure if there would be any changes in this life, but he was still very concerned about today, and planned to guard it on the side of Oxtail Ridge.
After returning to the village, he first put his things at Grandma Xi's house, and the people came towards Niuweiling.
Looking around, I soon found Gao Zhuang.
"Gao Zhuang, have you ever seen a living person enter the mountain?"
Gao Zhuang raised his head, his expression was momentarily confused, and he said with some uncertainty: "No, right?" I didn't see anyone entering the mountain. ”
