Early the next morning, Gu Yuecong was in a deep dream, and suddenly heard someone pushing the door, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a man dressed in gray and a beard standing in the morning light, laughing at himself, Gu Yuecong was startled, but he recognized for a moment that this big man was played by Ouyang Long'er.

Ouyang Long'er smiled: "Xianggong, how am I dressing?"

Gu Yuecong said: "What do you want to do?"

Ouyang Long'er didn't care that Gu Yuecong was only wearing underwear, reached into the quilt and dragged him out of the futon, and said: "I said last night, from now on, I want to learn from my husband and children, let's go to the capital to walk around, buy some fresh vegetables and fruits and give them to Steward Zhong for lunch."

Gu Yuecong said: "You are a prisoner of the imperial court, it is better not to make extraneous branches." ”

Ouyang Long'er said: "If I dress up like this, you won't recognize it, who will know that I am a prisoner of the imperial court." I couldn't help but say that I dressed Gu Yuecong and pulled him away.

Gu Yuecong saw that she was full of interest, and remembered that since she entered the palace, she had either hidden in the Scarlet Palace or hidden in the Yingwu Palace, but he couldn't bear to brush her mind, and looked her up and down, only to feel that if he hadn't known that it was her, it would have been difficult to recognize, so he let her pull her out of the door and said, "Did you bring silver?"

Ouyang Long'er revealed a cloth bag full of silver from his sleeve, and said: "If you want to live, you have to be frugal, so I only brought a hundred taels, in fact, I don't necessarily need silver to buy things, but I think about it, today I want to learn to bargain, not to take other people's things in vain." How did she know that ordinary people have enough food and clothing for twenty or thirty taels of silver a year, and her bag of silver is enough for ordinary people to live comfortably for three or four years.

The two walked out of the Yingwu Hall hand in hand, all the way out of the palace, the palace guards hated to personally carry the sedan chair for Gu Yuecong to escort the car, and the people of the Internal Affairs Office wanted to come to Liu Leiao's order, and did not check more, not long after, the two went straight to the ruins. The streets of the capital are bustling with people, the shops and shops are like the sky full of stars, dotted with stars, the sound of buying and selling, shouting, and bargaining sound into one, compared to the bleak and strict in the palace, the northwest grass is long and clear, and it is another weather.

As soon as the two entered the street, they were attracted by the prosperous characters in the market, Ouyang Long'er looked at the East Street teahouse for a while, looked at the West Street wine shop for a while, played with rouge velvet for a while, and lingered on the gold and silverware presented from Ai Wuhan, handmade products, as well as dried figs and wood carvings from farther away, Bada wood carvings, Ouyang Long'er was happy and could see as far as he could see, all of them were bought in his pocket, and Gu Yuecong's hands were full of them in a short time. Because most of them are things to play and eat, it is inevitable that they will fall apart, even if he has peerless martial arts, he feels helpless at this time. The two of them walked all the way through the vegetable market, the firewood market, and the cloth market, and took a look, the more they bought, and when they reached the end of the street, Ouyang Long'er saw a piece of Western flower cloth, and asked for two taels of silver, she took out the money bag and looked at it, and couldn't help frowning, and said: "Oops, I forgot to bargain, and now the silver is gone, what should I do?" took out the only broken silver in the bag and counted it three times, but there were still only two hundred pieces of silver, and there was not much money.

In fact, the two of them did not need more than ninety taels of silver to buy, just because the two of them walked on the street, their appearance was extraordinary, and they were not ordinary people at first glance, and Ouyang Long'er forgot to bargain, so he would inevitably suffer a big loss. Gu Yuecong's hands were not empty, and his neck, arms, and waist were also full of things, and when he saw that her silver was gone, he breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "I've bought a lot, let's go back." ”

Ouyang Long'er said: "I haven't bargained yet." Looking around, there was a row of shops selling beef and mutton in front of the meeting, she pulled Gu Yuecong, walked to the nearest store selling mutton, stopped, and said, "That's it." He put the empty money bag in his sleeve and said, "How many taels of silver is the mutton?"

Ordinary customers mostly asked, "How much does mutton cost a catty?" or "How do you sell mutton?" When the stall owner heard Ouyang Long'er ask "How many taels of silver", he saw the appearance of the two of them again, and immediately knew that the magpie was making trouble this morning, and he had good luck. The mutton is two pennies a catty, even if it is a famous Mongolian dish sheep's back, that is, cut off the lumbar vertebrae at the fourth rib in front of the sheep's loincloth, and then unfold the back ribs one by one, go to the leg bone and leave the tail into a five-pronged type, such a high-grade mutton is only two pounds and one pound, and the most tender lamb loin in the whole body of the sheep is only half a pound per sheep, and it is only two pounds and three pounds. The stall owner looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "The price is clearly marked, four cents a catty." ”

When the stall owners heard this, they all looked over. There is an unwritten rule among peers in the streets, whoever encounters a customer like Ouyang Long'er, others are not allowed to compete at a low price, if someone breaks the rules, no one will be able to make this money in the future.

Ouyang Long'er didn't know the meat market, so he didn't think about it, and said: "It's too expensive, I'll buy a hundred catties for two cents." ”

Gu Yuecong said: "Why are you buying so much?"

Ouyang Long'er said: "You don't have to care. ”

Gu Yuecong thought to himself: "There are just two hundred pieces of silver, buy one hundred catties and spend them all home." When I thought about it, I said no more.

Ouyang Long'er's voice was raised loudly, and a sentence resounded throughout the street, and the nearby beef and mutton stall owners were even more blushing when they heard a hundred catties. The stall owner could wring out the bitter water on his face, shook his head and put the mutton in front of him, frowned and said: "This master can bargain better than the old mother, and now the cabbage also costs a penny and a pound, and I can't do the business of losing money, so I see that the two of you buy a lot, and I will sell a hundred catties to you at a loss, otherwise, please move to another house to buy it." ”

When everyone heard this, they all secretly exchanged glances. Ouyang Long'er just wanted to bargain, but he didn't want to offer three or three taels, and said, "Let's go, let's buy cabbage." "Pull Gu Yue Congding and leave with a bell.

The stall owner unexpectedly Ouyang Long'er turned around and left, he couldn't help but be anxious, but said coldly: "I can't afford it, I want to see how you burn the cabbage to make it smell like fragrant mutton." ”

Ouyang Long'er walked seven or eight steps, and when he saw that the stall owner still refused to lower the price, he was sure that he had not been ripped off, so he walked back and said, "You have a point, three dollars are just three dollars, give me a hundred catties." ”

Gu Yuecong hurriedly elbowed her with his elbow, shook his head at her again, and signaled that she only had two hundred pieces of silver on her, but Ouyang Long'er only pretended not to see it.

The stall owner couldn't hold back the trembling of his whole body, took off the iron hook and weighed the two pieces of mutton, and said expressionlessly: "Good Lak, sell it for a hundred catties, and finish it after selling." "I have already calculated it clearly in my heart: one pound of mutton will earn at least one penny more, and one hundred catties will earn nearly one hundred and fifty more yuan, which is enough to buy half a live sheep.

Ouyang Long'er took out two hundred pieces of silver, and as soon as the stall owner stretched out his hand, Ouyang Long'er suddenly retracted his hand and said, "Shop, do you sell fat mutton and lean mutton separately?"

The stall owner was stunned, and then smiled and said: "This master, the small family has been doing this business for generations, this kind of selling method has never been seen, this mutton is no better than pork, it is difficult to distinguish fat from thin." ”

Ouyang Long'er said: "In the past, the master didn't come, I want fifty catties of fat sheep and thin sheep, the thin ones can't be mixed with half a penny, the fat ones can't be mixed with half a penny, and the fat ones can't see half a penny of fine meat, otherwise I won't buy it." As he spoke, he took Gu Yuecong's hand.

The stall owner squinted his eyes, and saw that several stall owners next to him had already been eyeing each other, and some had already taken the knife from the knife holder, and it seemed that the three hundred yuan had already flowed into their pockets, and he hurriedly said: "That's it, I'll make an exception and sell you once." "I thought that the fat and thin separation was just a little more hands and feet, and the money was still earned.

Ouyang Long'er said again: "Is there a price for the fat and thin?"
