Reborn in the red years, I am farming in space

Chapter 8 A Piece of White Jade

The girl took the eel, and Luo Xuan felt that the girl was not very happy.

It may be that she felt that she was a little panicked in exchange for such two eels with precious sugar tickets.

Or, she desperately needs a bigger eel.

"do not worry."

Luo Xuan didn't want such a girl to be disappointed, so he patted his chest and promised, "I know where there is a big eel, and I will definitely get it for you next time!"

"Excellent."

The girl raised her head, and was about to question Luo Xuan, but suddenly she turned from sadness to joy, and smiled at Luo Xuan, "Okay, then it's a deal."

After taking the sugar ticket from the girl, Luo Xuan was about to leave.

"and many more."

The girl called Luo Xuan softly, "You can take this piece of jade as well, it's my deposit for you. But, you can't sell the biggest eel to others."

"No amount of money can sell!"

The girl who always gave Luo Xuan a kind of calm and calm, now her tone of voice suddenly became very dignified!

I originally owed this girl the price difference.

Rice field eels in the early jins cannot be exchanged for sugar tickets with a denomination of 0.25 jins.

Sugar tickets and pastry tickets are priceless.

It is difficult to see someone taking it out for resale on the market, so it is difficult to define its specific value.

Not only did she take her sugar ticket, but this girl even took jade as a deposit.

It seems that the huge eel is indeed extremely important to her.

Can a big eel become a fairy after eating it?

Luo Xuan rubbed the jade in doubt.

Taking such a big advantage from others, it seems unreasonable not to give a word of assurance.

Luo Xuan left a sentence: "Next time there will be more than 8 taels of big eels, don't worry."

Luo Xuan, this is not bragging.

I was sure that I could do it, and I deliberately underreported the weight of the eel to be on the safe side.

After Luo Xuan finished speaking, he took the jade and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

The girl stopped Luo Xuan again: "If my guess is correct, you should still have eels to sell, right?"

Luo Xuan nodded: "Yes."

"I think you don't seem to understand the rules of the market. You can't sell like this."

The girl smiled.

It's a pity that the light is too dark to see her face clearly.

"You should hold a piece of bamboo in your hand, and others will know that you are either selling small fish and shrimp, or selling eels and loaches."

"Why?" Luo Xuan asked.

The girl walked slowly out of the bamboo forest with the eel in her hand: "There are not so many reasons, maybe the fish baskets are made of bamboo slices, this is a customary code in the market."

Luo Xuan secretly rejoiced: I learned, I learned!
I will often come to the market to sell eels in the future, this information is really important to me.

When the girl was gone, Luo Xuan ran back to the rapeseed forest and stepped into the space.

As soon as he entered, Luo Xuan felt something strange: the white jade pendant he was clutching tightly in his pocket, which he had obviously reached into his pocket, suddenly disappeared!

I clearly grasped it so tightly!

Looking carefully at the space, Luo Xuan suddenly discovered that the spring water on the ground had obviously expanded a lot!

Moreover, the area of ​​the space is significantly larger than before.

According to Luo Xuan's estimate, the area of ​​the space at this time should be more than 300 square meters, which is about to expand to the size of half an acre of land!
It seems that this space really needs jade to recharge!

In order to accurately grasp the growth of the dozens of broad beans in the space, Luo Xuan tore a strip from the fish basket and inserted it next to a broad bean.

Then break off the part of the bamboo that grows over the top of the broad bean, so that you can observe the growth rate of the broad bean yourself.

Holding the broken strip, Luo Xuan stepped out of the space.

Back in the grove, Luo Xuan also imitated the others, standing facing the eucalyptus with bamboo strips in his hands.

After standing for a while, someone came up to Luo Xuan and asked, "Little brother, is your hand long or flat?"

Luo Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses and said, "It's long."

The man asked again: "How many taels?"

When selling eels, the buyer usually stretches out his hand to check the goods, and he evaluates the size and thickness of the eels by himself.

But now in the frog market, people and goods are separated. Buyers can't see the goods, so they can only ask the seller for a general situation.

Usually in this case, the seller will probably exaggerate a little bit the size of his eel, but he will not brag too much.

For example, for an eel that is an average size of 3 taels, the seller will say "maybe, about 4 taels".

"Probably around 3 taels."

Luo Xuan replied honestly: "There are a little more than 4 catties in total, do you want it?"

"Well, the size of 3 taels is okay, and the fried garlic eel is okay, and the leaders won't say anything."

The man asked Luo Xuan: "How much do you want to sell for a catty?"

"It costs 3 cents a catty, and if there is less, I won't sell it."

"Arbitrarily priced!"

The man said to Luo Xuan: "How can there be such a price for 3 taels of rice field eel? I want it for 2 cents and 3 cents a catty."

Luo Xuan replied, "No bargaining, you can take the 3 cents."

"Damn you!"

The man was obviously a little angry, turned around and left!
Luo Xuan sensed that he was walking away, so he didn't make a sound to call him back.

There are no sources of goods in the market now, and if you can sell them for a penny more, you will get a penny more. How can you sell the fruits of your labor cheaply?
Soon.

The man turned around, and sure enough, he came back again, "Alright, alright, you're a ruthless boy! Let's go, hurry up and get the goods, and I'll take you to weigh them."

Leaving the man where he was, Luo Xuan did the same, and ran back to the rapeseed field to get out the fish basket.

With the help of the faint flames in the fire, Luo Xuan and the buyer squatted in front of the scale beam, their eyes widened, and they carefully looked at the sight on the scale beam.

Said to be very technical.

For those who know how to weigh, whether the scale beam is a little more warped or flat.The sighting star is calculated according to the left side of the rope on the weight mound or the right side, so that the total weight will be different if you calculate it before and after.

People nowadays, of course, don't care about the difference between half a penny and a penny.

After conversion, the difference is only 2 grams or 5 grams, so why bother?

But for people in this era, everyone naturally has a gene of "pennying every penny" in their bones, and it is impossible for others to take advantage of themselves.

The person in charge of weighing reported the number in a low voice: "Look good, 4 catties and 3 taels."

The buyer was a fat middle-aged man, and he muttered, "Liu Fugui, you are so flat, damn it, the weight is about to slip!"

"Fatty Gu, keep your mouth clean."

The person in charge of weighing was named Liu Fugui, and he yelled at Fatty Gu in a low voice: "Don't provoke me to greet your ancestors! There is a doll, and you sleep with your mother-in-law in your arms all day long in the middle of the night.

A little doll is working in a paddy field, his whole body red and swollen from being cut by seedlings. How easy is it to catch a few eels?

You bastard said that you bought it for the unit, why are you so picky? "

Fatty Gu is obviously very familiar with the person in charge of weighing, so he laughed and scolded: "The public's money, that's why you don't dare to mess with it! Every penny you can save for the public is a penny."

The man lightly kicked Fatty Gu, but he didn't dare to speak out to refute.

Fatty Gu sang high-profile, everyone is well aware of this, if you refute it, it is easy to bring disaster on yourself.

After the weighing, Fatty Gu counted and gave Luo Xuan 1 yuan, 2 cents and 9 cents.

Then he patted Luo Xuan's thin shoulder: "I work in a catering service agency, and I will buy eels for a long time. As long as you come here in the future, you can wait for me, and I will cover everything for you."

"5 cents."

When Fatty Gu walked away, Liu Fugui, who was in charge of weighing, stretched out his hand towards Luo Xuan, "Don't trust him, he offers the best price. If there are other buyers, you can sell it first."

Luo Xuan paid the money, and humbly asked him for advice.

Through Liu Fugui's explanation, Luo Xuan finally understood: It turns out that the market charges 5 cents for weighing once.

Those who are responsible for weighing and maintaining order are the organizers of this market.

Every time they open the market, they will discuss where to open the market next time.

Then notify separately, the core members who often come to buy and sell in this market, so that no matter where the market opens next time, at least the core customers will know.

As for farmers in the countryside and ordinary workers in cities and towns,
Gossip has always been like a dandelion in the autumn wind, whenever there is a little wind and grass, it will fly all over the sky.

Once more people know about it, don't expect to have any secrets at all.
