Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 258 Walking Foot Gang Hongwentang (1)

Both roads are not easy to go, and the trouble is much bigger than expected.

Gu Qiyi couldn't decide for a while, so he simply put the matter aside for the time being.

In any case, the most important thing is to first place the transfer point of the Four Seas Escort in Lushan County.

The rain did not stop until nightfall.

The entire Lushan County was filled with joy. Even after the three quarters of the unitary hour, there were still many people rushing to Liuhang Street with baskets and lamps in their hands.

Today's continuous storms during the day forced the Pedestrians to temporarily dismantle their stalls on Liuhang Street. After the rain gradually subsided after dusk, the stalls reopened just now.

Xu is to celebrate this spring rain that is enough to make people full of hope.In Lushan County, all those who still have some money in their homes are not stingy about this. Those with less money buy some coarse grains, and those with more money buy some rice noodles.

A middle-aged man, that is, Shao Dongwu.Because the family received a lot of buckets of water today, and coincidentally rented the house of his wife and brother's house to a foreigner, he got two liang of silver for nothing.Thinking of the broth I promised my children earlier, I decided to join in the fun at the stall of the Pedestrians in Fangshi Street.

If the price is right, you can grit your teeth and take one or two halves of meat back. Although it is not much, it can only add a taste when making soup, and children, wives and daughters can also taste it.
-
When Shao Dongwu went out, he happened to meet Shunzi and the others changed into clean clothes and went out.While chatting between the two sides, I knew that they were planning to go to Liuhang Street to buy something to eat.So Shao Dongwu took the lead, and several people walked together.

Liuhang Street tonight is more lively than usual during the day.Every stall was crowded with people.

Shao Xingxing was also a little moved when he saw that the person in front had cut two taels of bacon.After inquiring, I learned that one or two bacon was asking for 25 Wen, and I swallowed my saliva immediately, a little afraid to move.

Shunzi Jiangping and the others were surprised when they heard the words, but at the same time they had already expected it.

It's just that even if I was prepared in my heart, I still didn't know how to say it when I heard the price.

25 Wen is not much money.But if you just exchange one or two bacon, it is still expensive enough to make people feel unbelievable.

In He Song Town, a catty of fresh pork costs only twelve yuan, and even sealed bacon costs only about thirty yuan per catty.

According to the Dakang Dynasty’s catty-to-two conversion algorithm, one catty is equal to 16 taels, which means that at this time, if you want to buy a catty of bacon on Liuxing Street, it will cost a sky-high price of four hundred yuan!

"Damn it. The Pedestrians are too ruthless." Shunzi stared and couldn't help but spit softly.

"There are food bans in all states, and rice grains cannot be used in common use. It's fine for these people to raise the price of food ten times. But there are no state bans on bacon, how can it be raised to such a level?"

"Things are rare and expensive."

Liu Jiang frowned and said calmly: "Although these meats are not banned by the state, who dares to come to Yuzhou to do business now, only they can help them on foot, so naturally they can sell them at whatever price they want."

Shao Dongwu pulled La Shunzi and Liu Jiang away, shook his head and told carefully: "Don't talk about this, the pedestrians are not easy to mess with. Now even the county officials have nothing to do with them, and they can't afford to offend them."

After all, Shao Dongwu's eyes unconsciously set on the sliced ​​bacon.

Looking at the bacon that was bright red in color and exuding a burst of fragrance, Shao Dongwu gritted his teeth and squeezed into the stall and asked the stall owner, "Shopkeeper, I want a couple of bacon."

The owner of the stall didn't even lift his eyelids, and said impatiently, "The bacon can be cut in two or two at least, and it's fifty cash in total. Do you want it?"

"Fifty Wen is too much, can you have less."

In addition to buying bacon tonight, he had to buy a lot of rations, and Shao Dongwu didn't dare to waste the money that Huo Huo just got.

He had just discussed with his mother-in-law earlier that he wanted to keep the money to buy grain seeds.His family still has a few acres of land outside the city. After the heavy rain this time, it is just right to renovate it. As long as the seeds can be planted, life will be better after autumn, maybe.

"Not a single point less."

The stall owner looked up at Shao Dongwu: "It's a rule to sell at least two taels. One tael is just a little, how do you want me to do it?"

"The shopkeeper is so kind, my little one has been begging for it for a long time today, so I'll buy it back and give him a taste of it. Is it worth one or two?"

"No, the rules are the rules. If you can afford it, buy it, if you can't afford it, don't buy it, what's the trouble?"

The owner of the stall became more and more impatient: "If you don't buy it, just leave, don't disturb my business."

Shao Dongwu's face turned red when he was reprimanded, and he was hesitating whether to make up his mind to spend fifty cents on two taels or just forget it, when Shunzi pulled him away and said to the stall owner, "Give me a catty of bacon!" .”

"One catty?!" The stall owner was taken aback when he heard this.

People in Lushan County are living in a difficult life. Some wealthy families have escaped from Yuzhou Prefecture early on, and those who stayed behind refused to move. Except for a few households because of nostalgia, most of them are of ordinary value.

It is rare to have a low income. After two years and three years of tossing and tossing in the past year, there is not much left now.

For this reason, although the business of their pedestrian gang's stalls is booming in Lushan County, they haven't met a few customers who are usually willing to make a move.

Just now, like that bearded man who was reluctant to buy two taels of bacon, he tried every means to let himself give him a tael. He would meet three or five people like this every day, and even if he had a good temper, he would wear it out early. Gone.

Don't say he is not kind, he sympathizes with others, who can sympathize with him.

The situation in the entire Lushan County is like this. If he opens this hole today, everyone will only need a tael of bacon tomorrow.

When the time comes, will he cut it or not, how?Can you cut it?
Maybe in the future there will be half a tael, and then he won't have to do this business.

A rule is a rule, and once you break it, no one can say hello to you, so it's better to let this villain go to the end.

The owner of the stall was lost in thought, when Shunzi yelled impatiently, "A catty of bacon, do you have any?"

"Of course there are, but I don't have a saying that buying more is more cost-effective. A catty of bacon costs four hundred Wen. Can you afford this money?"

The stall owner in charge of the stall was slapped by Shunzi, and his face was a little ugly.

Looking up at Shunzi, seeing that Shunzi's clothes were just ordinary, he couldn't help wondering: maybe he has no money to be a wolf with a big tail and come to him to have fun.

"Why, are you afraid that you don't have any money?" Shunzi sneered and took out a tael of silver from his pocket: "Do you see how much money you can buy?"

"Hey, what a rich man."

The stall owner glanced at him and sneered, he didn't put Shunzi in his eyes just because of the two taels of silver.Naturally, he didn't refuse the business because of this, but said calmly:

"Wait, I'll cut it for you. Do you want a whole piece by a catty, or do you want to cut it separately?"

"Cut apart."

"How do you want to cut it?"

Shunzi laughed mockingly: "Just give me 15 taels for one piece, and give me two pieces for one piece of one tael."
