Chapter 5 Borrowing the Bridge
"This girl, isn't she illiterate? A string of three pennies, and four strings are clearly twelve pennies! The people here didn't know what a promotion was, so they frowned and whispered.
Among them, there are those who are bold, just taking advantage of the idea of taking advantage, squeezing the money, and saying: "Give me ten cents!" ”
"Great!" Xue Tong Ma slipped and handed the dead string of field chickens to the comer.
The man took the field chicken, couldn't wait to taste it, and was immediately amazed by the fragrance. This field of chicken is really as the little girl said, fragrant, tender, crispy, smooth, and with a hint of spicy taste, it is really unstoppable.
He ate a bunch at once, took out ten copper plates and said, "Bring me another copper plate, this is also delicious!" I'll take it back for my children and mother-in-law to try! ”
When they saw this, they couldn't bear it any longer, and they came forward one after another to buy ten copper plates.
But just now Xue Tong only baked two handfuls, and then bought it, it will take a while, Xue Tong roasted the field chicken non-stop, the action is neat, the person is beautiful and sweet, when she encounters more buying, she will send a string casually, and soon, a large bucket of field chicken skewers will see the bottom.
Yan Rin worked as a nursery just now, and when he saw that there was a business coming to the door, he went around the market to cut some meat, and when he came out with the meat, Xue Tong had actually begun to close the stall.
He was a little incredulous, and said in a low voice: "Miss Xue, you, have you sold it all out?" ”
Xue Tong smiled at him with excitement and gratitude: "Thanks to you, this is all sold out, let's go back to cooking." ”
Yan Rin nodded, and suddenly asked again: "I only cut some pork, I don't know what you like to eat, why don't we buy some more food and go back?" ”
Xue Tong saw that he was carrying a string of pork belly in his hand, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he asked, "Brother Yan, how much is this pork?" ”
"Twenty-five cents for this piece of meat." Yan Rin said truthfully.
Xue Tong thought for a while, the price of goods in this dynasty is relatively high, and a penny is equivalent to the purchasing power of a modern dollar, she secretly calculated the account, and asked again: "Brother Yan, how much do you sell for a hare?" ”
"If a hare can't afford to sell for fifty yuan, if it dies, it's even lower." Yan Rin said again.
A hare actually sells for fifty yuan! It's just the price of two slices of pork! What a loss! It's a big loss! Xue Tong is anxious!
"I have a way to make money, let's go to the herb shop and buy some herbs." Xue Tong said.
"Go to the herb shop? Miss Xue, you won't have a headache, right? Hearing this, Yan Rin's face flashed with a hint of urgency, and she asked with concern.
"No, Brother Yan, let's go to the herb shop to buy some medicinal herbs to use, and then let's buy some more pig's head meat, and tomorrow we will sell something else!" Xue Tong leaned into Yan Rin's ear and whispered a few words.
Yan Rin heard that he didn't understand it, but Xue Tong suddenly approached his ear, and when he spoke, her breath and breath were all sprinkled on his skin, teaching him to blush for no reason, and even the roots of his ears were red, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he responded in a low voice: "Okay, let's go." ”
Xue Tong took the hundreds of dollars she had just sold the chickens, and first bought a pig's head in the market, which was quite cheap, only costing twenty yuan, and when she saw that no one bought those pig bones, she suddenly shouted secretly in her heart, this is simply a tyrannical thing! In modern times, bones are much more expensive than this meat! She had a sweet voice, and coaxed the boss to give her several bones and some pigs into the water.
After buying meat, I went to the herb shop to buy star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon and other seasoning herbs, and finally bought some seasoned soy sauce and liquor, and then I returned with a full load.
Back at Yan's house, there was a luxurious carriage parked at the door.
Xue Tong looked startled, thinking that the carriage was very familiar, could it be that Liu Gao came to the door? After all, Yan Rin's Yanjia Village is not far from Xuejia Village, where the original body is located!
was in a panic, but a red figure suddenly ran out of the door, and shouted sweetly at Yan Rin: "Brother Yan Rin! You're back......"
The girl's originally sweet and delicate face froze instantly when she saw Xue Tong, and pointed at Xue Tong and said, "Brother Yan Rin, who is she!" ”
Xue Tong is not a real country village girl, the love in this girl's eyes is so bright, she naturally saw what it meant, and quickly took a step back and opened the distance between her and Yan Rin.
Seeing her move like this, Yan Rin's eyes sank a little, stepped forward, and said politely and respectfully: "Miss Sheng, why do you have time to come to my small place today?" ”
"Yan Rin, Xue Tong, you're back! I've cooked all the food, Miss Sheng, do you want to eat some together? "Yan Yun is not stupid, for fear that there will be trouble here, so she hurried out to be a peacemaker.
"Sister Yan, didn't you ask you to wait for me to come back before cooking? Your belly is too big for convenience. Xue Tong hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Yan Yun, intending to leave a separate space for the two of them.
But that Sheng Yiyi didn't follow, and directly stretched out his hand to stop Xue Tong, but his eyes fell on Yan Rin's handsome face, and he asked domineeringly: "Yan Rin, who is this fox spirit!" Is that why you rejected me? She lives in your house? I moved in before I got married, and I don't think I'm a girl from a good family! ”
Xue Tong was shot inexplicably, but in this feudal ancient period, the girl's family paid the most attention to reputation, and it was indeed inappropriate for her to live in the Yan family like this.
But when she returns to the Xue family, she will definitely be sold by her uncle, compared to being a concubine, if she has a bad reputation, it won't sound good, but this girl obviously likes Yan Rin, but she doesn't want to ruin someone's marriage for no reason.
"This Miss Sheng, you listen to my explanation......" Xue Tong hurriedly spoke, wanting to explain the matter to her.
"That's what you think, I have a private agreement with her for life, and she is my future lady Yan Rin." Yan Rin took the first step, and his arm as hard as iron wrapped his arms around Xue Tong's waist, tightly clamped her, and brought her into his arms, and said in a cold voice, "I will get married soon, I hope Miss Sheng will be more self-respecting in the future." ”
Xue Tong: "......?" ”
She couldn't dismantle the stage, so she could only set her eyes on Yan Rin, who glanced at her a little embarrassedly.
Oh, I borrowed her to cross the bridge! It's a trifle, a trifle! Xue Tong is not a stingy person, he immediately understood, and took the initiative to reach out and grab Yan Rin's waist, smiled at Sheng Yiyi, and said slowly: "When we get married, I hope that Miss Sheng will enjoy her face and drink a glass of thin wine." ”
Sheng Yiyi didn't want this fox spirit to be so aggressive, and when faced with her provocation, her face turned red with anger, and she pointed at Yan Rin and said, "Yan Rin! Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your sister, your sister is about to give birth, and it will cost two taels of silver to ask for a stable woman! If we don't want your rabbit in Shengyuan Dart Game, what do you rely on to make money! What do you rely on to ask your sister to ask for a stable wife? ”
