Chapter 67
The yamen followed the magistrate Hu to Baijia Village the day before, and in the afternoon he witnessed Bai Zhiqing's reputation as one enemy with many enemies. He knew that Bai Zhiqing was very powerful, so he didn't dare to care for him when he saw him. Attitude changed.

Bai Zhiqing also recognized this person, smiled gently, and said, "I didn't pay the debt to the casino, and I couldn't sleep well, so I went up the mountain to hunt some prey and sell it to pay off the debt."

The yamen smiled. He didn't expect Bai Yaolang to speak so honestly, his eyes swept over the prey on the ground, and he was quite envious, and praised: "Brother Bai is really good."

"It's too famous, this roe deer hunts a lot, I just got lucky. By the way, how do I get the money in this market? Do I have to pay it every time I come? Or is it monthly?" Bai Zhiqing said as he took out the money. .

Referring to the city gold, the yamen waved his hand and said, "Pay it on a per-time basis, you only need to pay ten wen."

Bai Zhiqing's eyes narrowed slightly, there is no free nutritional supplements in this world, why did this person reduce the amount to him for no reason?
"It's not good, it still has to follow the rules."

The yamen was not afraid of other people's opinions, and said directly: "Ten wen is the city money collected by the government, and the other ten wen is the hard work paid by the people to our gang of yamen. I admire you for being a man, and I recognize you as a brother. These ten wen I won't take it."

In fact, he was afraid that he would offend the master Bai Zhiqing by taking the ten pennies.

If others didn't accept it, Bai Zhiqing wouldn't rush to give it. He took out ten pennies and handed it to him. He smiled and said, "Thank you, brother."

"polite."

The yamen did not leave any greetings and left after collecting the money.

Not far away, the hunter who also sold game was originally dissatisfied because the stall Bai Zhiqing selected was too close to him. Seeing that Bai Zhiqing was actually familiar with the yamen, he did not dare to go forward to seek trouble.

After giving Bai Zhiqing a dissatisfied look, the hunter shouted to solicit business: "The freshly hunted pheasant is forty cents a catty, and the hare is fifty cents a catty. It's fresh~ Don't miss it when you pass by~"

Bai Zhiqing pricked up his ears and listened to the other party's offer, but unfortunately there were only hares and pheasants in the other party's booth, otherwise he would have learned more about the market of other prey, and he would have an idea in the future.

Bai Zhiqing was standing behind his booth, watching the flow of people. If someone looked at the prey for a few times, he would only call out to solicit them, but unfortunately they would not buy it.

After a while, a slightly fat middle-aged man came, pointed at the roe deer and asked, "How can I sell this roe deer?"

Bai Zhiqing really didn't understand the market price of roe deer, but he thought about the villagers saying that the meat of roe deer is tender and loved by nobles in the city, and it is much more valuable than wild rabbits, so he offered three times the market price of wild rabbits and said, "150 renminbi a catty."

Hearing Bai Zhiqing's quotation, the middle-aged man smiled and said: "Brother Bai, you can't open your mouth just because you are in a hurry to pay off the debt. The roe deer is not a deer, so it is not worth the price. 130 renminbi a catty is worthless."

White brothers?

This person knew his surname Bai and knew that he owed debts. Could it be that he was an acquaintance of the original owner?
No, Bai Zhiqing thought about it carefully and remembered that he had seen this face the day before yesterday, and this person was one of the onlookers that day.

Bai Zhiqing looked at the man in front of him, and seeing that he was plump, he asked about game again, probably running a restaurant.

Seeing this person's frank expression, Bai Zhiqing knew that the price of 130 Wen should be worthy, so he said: "Since you recognize me, then I will sell you 130 Wen at a lower price."

"Eh? I said Brother Bai, you are interesting. 130 Wen is still cheap, which is a sky-high price. If you can still sell it at this price last winter, but now that spring has begun, all kinds of game on the mountain have come out, it is worth it." Not at this price."

Bai Zhiqing believed only three points. He just walked around, and he was the only one on this street selling roe deer. Even if he didn't know how to do business again, he knew that rarity was precious.

"Having said that, it's only spring now, and my roe deer is the only one on this street, and it's worth 130 coins just for this."

The middle-aged man was the head chef of Baixi Restaurant on the main street, Li Zhang, who was in charge of purchasing ingredients. He saw the roe deer on Bai Zhiqing's stall at a glance, because this roe deer was the only one in the county.

It has been a while since I saw anyone selling roe deer on East Street, and many diners were very greedy. Li Zhangshi was bound to win this roe deer, but the price of buying it could be a little lower, and the difference in the middle could be returned. into his pocket.

Director Li still wanted to continue bargaining, but he heard a voice from behind him: "I want all 130 Wen a catty!"

As soon as he heard this voice, Li Zhangshi knew that the person who came was his old enemy. Zhang Zhangshi from the taotie restaurant turned around and said, "What do you mean, everything is about first come first, then come first, I am talking about the price here."

Zhang Zhangshi: "Didn't you guys agree on this? The one with the highest price will get it. I can afford the price you don't want to pay." Then he turned to Bai Zhiqing and continued: "Brother, I am all for your roe deer. I want them, and I also charge these rabbits at the market price of fifty cents a pound. Come with me."

Bai Zhiqing nodded and replied with a smile, "Okay."

Manager Li was anxious and angry, pointed at Manager Zhang and shouted: "Second Zhang! You cut Laozi's beard again! Brother Bai, I'll offer the same price as him! I'll come first, you have to sell your goods first. I!"

Bai Zhiqing: "Although you came first, but the price was negotiated by me and this brother Zhang first, or else, I will sell it to you next time when I hunt roe deer?"

Having said that, Bai Zhiqing will not cooperate with this Director Li next time. He sees that this Director Li is someone who cares a lot. Cheerful Zhang Er cabinet cooperation.

Bai Zhiqing didn't want to spend time setting up a stall to sell game. If possible, he hoped to reach a long-term cooperation with the latter to save worry and effort.

Li Zhangshi glanced at Bai Zhiqing unhappily, but he didn't dare to force it. He saw Bai Zhiqing show his mighty power yesterday.

Zhang Zhangshi glared at him fiercely, and then snorted heavily at him, and Gu Zhangshi turned his head and walked away angrily.

Zhang Zhang didn't take his defeat seriously, he smiled and motioned Bai Zhiqing to pack up his prey and follow him.

Bai Zhiqing followed Zhang Zhang all the way to the back door of the Taotie Restaurant, and used the restaurant's scale to weigh several prey one by one. The roe deer weighed 67 catties and two taels, and the two hares weighed eight catties.

The weight was about the same as Bai Zhiqing's estimate. It can be seen that the restaurant's scale was not tampered with. Bai Zhiqing was also straightforward. In the end, the roe deer weighed 67 catties, while the hare weighed [-] catties.

In the end, I got a total of nine taels and 160 essays.

Zhang Zhangshi weighed enough silver taels in front of Bai Zhiqing, and said, "Brother Bai, I find you pleasing to the eye, if you hunt again in the future, come directly to the restaurant to find me, and you don't need to bother to set up a stall. Our gluttonous restaurant has a very good business, no matter how much game it is, it can be sold out, unlike the Baixi restaurant opposite, where a hare can be sold for several days."

In the middle of this remark, Bai Zhiqing smiled and nodded: "Okay, Zhang Zhang, I have to trouble you to take care of me in the future."
