Mr. Big Air's First Lady

Chapter 12 The Boss Really Understands People

After leaving the cloth shop, Lu Shi took Wan Ning to the porcelain shop.

To buy some bowls, tea sets and the like.

Lu's buys a lot, and still asks the store to deliver the goods.

It's just that Lu didn't have much money with him, so he only paid the deposit, and the rest of the money had to be paid after the store delivered the goods.

Afterwards, Lu took Wan Ning to the grain store to buy rice, flour, oil, groceries, and other places. They also bought a large number of items, paid a deposit, and agreed on a time for the store to help deliver the goods.

Wan Ning followed Lu Shi to many places, watching her check the quality of those items, and then buy them after selection.

She looked at it very strangely, and when Lu saw her curious, he would explain it to her carefully every time.

In this way, he was busy until noon, and when everything was almost bought, Lu took Wan Ning to buy meat, ready to go back to make lunch.

Wucheng is close to the grassland. When there is no war, people from both sides will still get together to do some business.

Most of the grasslands are cattle, sheep, and horses.

Horses are strategic materials, and herdsmen cannot sell them privately. Most of what they sell are cattle and sheep.

Therefore, in Wucheng, both beef and mutton are sold, and the price is a little cheaper than other places in the Dayang Dynasty.

Seeing that there was still beef for sale, Mrs. Lu was very happy, "I didn't expect that there was beef for sale!"

In Dayang, cattle also have to go to the government for record, they are protected by the law and cannot be slaughtered lightly.

Unless the cow is old or disabled and can no longer be cultivated, it can only be slaughtered after obtaining the approval of the government.

Beef is already delicious, and buying beef is all about luck, which makes the taste of beef even more delicious than the original.

Lu Shi only ate beef by chance when he was in his boudoir, and he could never forget the taste after that.

I didn't expect to see a stall selling beef in Wucheng!

"Hey, is this lady coming to Wucheng for the first time?" The stall owner asked Lu with a smile, but his tone was very sure.

Mrs. Lu nodded, and then asked, "How did the boss know?"

There are vendors from different places in Wucheng all year round. It is impossible to tell whether it is the first time to come to Wucheng simply by the accent.

The boss said proudly: "My stall has been selling beef in Wucheng for more than ten years, and there is no one in Wucheng who doesn't know about it."

It turned out to be the case.

In this way, I am surprised that there is beef for sale here, and it must be the first time for people who have come to Wucheng.

The boss continued to explain: "My cattle are all pure grassland cattle. The meat is tighter and firmer, and it tastes more chewy."

Ordinary traders bought cattle from the grasslands, and before filing with the government, they could indeed slaughter one or two.

But he didn't dare to slaughter too much, let alone sell the meat on the street openly.

From this, it can be seen that the owner of this stall is covered by someone behind his back!
Seeing through but not telling the truth, Mrs. Lu did not say this, but said with a smile: "Then, the boss will give me two catties of beef first."

"Okay, Ma'am, look, there are front leg meat, hind leg meat, and other meat. Different parts have different prices. Which one do you want?"

After traveling for a few months, the family of four had a lot of money to spare, so Lu wanted to make up for everyone, so he asked for the hind legs without asking the price.

Both sheep and pigs are the most delicious hind legs, and Lu guessed that the beef should also be the most delicious hind legs.

Sure enough, the boss boasted: "Madam has good eyesight, the most delicious meat of this cow is the hind legs."

After finishing speaking, the boss picked up the hind legs and started chopping.

Compared with meat, Wan Ning prefers to drink bone broth, which is really delicious and nourishing.

Wan Ning looked around at the stall, and saw a bucket of beef bones behind the boss on the right, she asked, "Boss, how do you sell these beef bones?"

"That, it's not delicious, it's sold to people who can't afford meat, and they use it to make soup for a taste. It's not worth a lot of money, so I take it all away from the bucket."

This is what you guys can't endure, that's why it's unpalatable - but Wan Ning didn't say this.

Wan Ning looked at Lu Shi: "Mother, you should buy that bucket of beef bones too."

Mrs. Lu wanted to persuade her daughter not to buy it, but she also thought of her daughter's behavior on the way to exile in the past few months. Not only was she sensible, but because she read more complicated books, she understood a lot.

So she asked, "Does Wan Ning know how to make beef bones?"

Wan Ning nodded: "I know, it tastes best when cooked in soup."

Lu thought to herself, if she didn't let her daughter try it, she would definitely be unwilling, anyway, it's only two pennies, so just buy it.

"Boss, I also want the bucket of beef bones. It's just that we didn't bring a basket. Is there anything to help us pack it?"

The boss is also a warm and talkative person: "Well, let me lend you this bucket, take it back between you, and return it tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you boss."

The hind legs are also weighed.

After Lu paid the copper coins, the boss gave them the things.

Wan Ning was carrying two catties of beef, and Lu's was carrying a bucket containing beef bones.

The meat on the beef bones has been stripped clean, and dozens of bones are put together, and the weight is really heavy.

Lu Shi picked it up, it was a bit heavy, and he could barely walk a few steps, but it was impossible to carry it home.

When the boss saw it, he said: "Madam, if you can't carry it, there are helpers at the intersection in front of you, who can help you carry it home. If the road is far away, you can spend a penny to ask them to help you deliver it to the carriage at the gate of the city. "

After Wan Ning heard this, she turned to the boss and said, "Thank you uncle, next time I will come to your place to buy meat and bones to make soup for you."

Wan Ning's mouth was sweet, and the boss felt relieved when he heard it: "The little girl is quite good at talking, Cheng, next time you come, uncle will give you a cheaper price."

"Then thank you in advance, uncle."

After finishing speaking, Wan Ning said to Lu Shi again: "Mother, you wait here, I'll find a helper."

Dad doesn't know where he is now, and he should be busy. It can be solved with a few pennies, and Wan Ning doesn't think it's necessary to go to them.

"You should just watch here, I'll look for it."

"That's fine too."

After the agreement, Lu asked the boss carefully how to find a helper, and then went.

Mrs. Lu left, and the boss saw the little girl alone, so he chatted with her: "Little girl, where did your family come from? What are you doing here?"

Wan Ning pretended to be a little adult, sighed, her eyes were full of sadness: "Uncle, our family is in trouble, our family is in trouble!"

In line with the attitude of saying everything to others, Wan Ning has no intention of hiding the fact that she is an exile, but how to tell others needs to be considered.

The boss saw that Wan Ning was well dressed and that life at home should be going well, but he showed such an expression, it seemed that there was something wrong!

The boss's heart of gossip was provoked, and he hurriedly asked what's going on?

Wan Ning hurriedly told about what the fortune teller said when her father was born, and about the servants who were not welcomed at home and lived worse than her family from now on.

Wan Ning has the memory of her original body, knowing that people in this world are more trustworthy, it's normal for her father's situation to be disregarded by officials and officials.

But she also said that when her father was ten years old, he went to Qingyun Temple with his classmates and ran into Master Chen. It's just fate!

Speaking of this, Wan Ning said angrily, "Uncle, tell me, what would your son do if he knew Master Chen's order?"

"Even if you don't feel sorry for him, you shouldn't say that he is evil in the future, and you shouldn't blame everything on this son, right?"

Wan Ning's voice was full of emotion, and the boss who listened to it also became angry: "Is the child born with evil spirits?"

"If it's true that you were born with evil spirits, how come the whole family is fine and one is not dead?"

"I think that fortune teller is a liar!..."

After the boss scolded her, Wan Ning looked at the boss as if she was a confidant: "The boss really understands people!"
