Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 31

"My surname is Sun, and it is the shopkeeper of this building. I heard that the two of you are going to sell peaches, maybe show me the goods first?"

"It should be." When Wen Tai replied, he had already lifted off the clothes covering the bamboo blue.

Shopkeeper Sun took a look and saw that the peaches inside were really fresh and plump, and said, "The appearance is really good, but I don't know the taste."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Shu quickly took out a peach from the basket and handed it to him: "The shopkeeper can have a taste."

She had already tasted this peach when she was at home, and she thought it was better than the peaches sold on the streets of Tokyo in spring and summer, so she was very confident.

Shopkeeper Sun was also not polite, took Tao Zi and wiped his fur on his cuff casually, and then bit down.

At this time, the peaches were not yet ripe, and the taste was still sweet and refreshing. Shopkeeper Sun heard a crackling sound when he took a bite, which was called crisp.

The sweet taste lingered between the lips and teeth, shopkeeper Sun's heart was shocked, but his face remained calm, and he was about to negotiate the price with Wen's father and daughter, when the circle behind him suddenly burst into applause.

"Mr. Qin is very skilled, and Yuan admires it." A clear voice came.

"Chengren, Chengrang, I'm thirsty after playing for a long time, shopkeeper Sun, hurry up and get some fragrant tea and fruit." After the words fell, the crowd in a circle dispersed, and a slightly fat, Jin Yihua The boy in uniform came out from inside with a look of displeasure.

"Hey." Shopkeeper Sun hurriedly responded, and quickly summoned Xiaoer to serve tea and fruit snacks.

It's just that the young man's eyes were sharp, seeing that he seemed to be eating something in his hand, he jumped over a few steps, snatched it, and sighed: "I said shopkeeper Sun, you are not being kind, and you don't tell us about these fresh peaches." For some, I’m just focusing on hiding here and eating.”

Shopkeeper Sun apologized again and again, and said with a smile: "Young Master Qin misunderstood Mrs. Sun. These peaches were just sent by the father and daughter. I'm just trying to eat them, and I haven't even had time to discuss the price yet."

Qin Gongzi laughed when he heard the words: "Try it, I am good at this thing, do you have any peaches, give me one."

Wen Shu saw that this young man was well dressed, and that anyone who could come to the building for dinner would not be too poor, so he hurriedly took out the last peach from the basket and handed it over: "There is only this one, young master thinks Taste it and take it."

When Qin Jingyang heard it, he was overjoyed, stepped forward to take it unceremoniously, stuck it on his clothes, and ate it.

After tasting a few mouthfuls, he nodded again and again: "Well, the taste is not bad, it is considered the top grade among peaches, and it tastes similar to the peaches offered by Taihu Lake in summer."

When Wen Shu heard this, he was overjoyed. To be praised by this noble young master, the matter of raising the price would be a joke. Besides, this young master Qin pointed out the matter face to face. I can't.

After eating the peaches in two or three bites, Qin Jingyang was a little unsatisfied, and yelled at the father and daughter, "Are there any more peaches, and if there are any, I will send some more. This one is too satisfying to eat."

Wen Shu repeatedly said: "Yes, yes, there are more at home, I just don't know how much you want?"

Tai Jingyang took the tea from Xiaoer, took a few sips, waved his hand and said, "You can give me a hundred and eighty first."

Wen Shu was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately said expectantly: "There are one hundred and eighty, but it's just the price."

Qin Jingyang paused while drinking tea, and looked at her in disbelief: "You are asking me for money"

Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat, what do you mean!
Doesn't this son want to give money!

At this time, Mr. Qin lost the game of throwing pots with Mr. Qin, and Mr. Yuan, who had been silent by the side, said at the right time: "Mr. Qin is really funny, since you want other people's peaches, they will naturally ask you for money. "

Qin Jingyang is not an idiot, of course he knows the reason why buying things requires money, but he has never grown up, and there are countless people around him who flatter and flatter him, especially in recent years, with his father being promoted to a privy envoy and becoming a minister, the people around him are flattering There are more people.

He usually treats others when he goes out, and when he seldom pays for it himself, when he heard this abruptly, his expression froze, and he felt a little embarrassed.

Shopkeeper Sun saw that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly smoothed things over: "Mr. Yuan was joking. The father and daughter originally wanted to sell the peaches to the restaurant. Since Mr. Qin also said that the peaches are delicious, then Mr. Sun decided to buy the peaches. , after they deliver it, so that all the sons who are present today can taste it."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Wen Shu and his daughter and said, "I wonder how many peaches like this you have in your family?"

Wen Tai lowered his head and said, "Not many, only a hundred or so."

Shopkeeper Sun nodded: "Well, then send them all over. I'll bid 35 coins each. What do you two agree?"

Wen Shu knew that Shopkeeper Sun had helped them out, so it would be a bit ignorant to raise the price at this time, and what's more, Shopkeeper Sun's price was considered kind.

So she exchanged glances with her father, nodded and said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Sun, we'll go back and get it."

Shopkeeper Sun nodded slightly, and confessed: "Later, the two of you can just send the things directly to the west door, and there will be a special person there to check and settle."

The father and daughter nodded, said goodbye and left the building.

On the way back, Wen Shu said with lingering fear: "It seems that the business of this big restaurant is not easy to do. I don't know who the young master was just now, but he was overbearing and unreasonable. Hearing what he said, maybe he wanted to rob him just now." Our peaches."

Wen Tai also sighed, "Yeah, it's really a distraction to make friends with these noble people. Fortunately, shopkeeper Sun in the old building is a kind person, and today is thanks to him."

Wen Shu nodded: "We've gained a lot of wisdom through a pitfall."

When they got home, the father and daughter took out the peaches and counted them, excluding a few that were broken and some that looked too good-looking. The last point was a total of one hundred and five.

Carefully put the counted peaches into the red basket covered with old clothes, and then put another piece of clothes on top to try to cover it up, the father and daughter carried the red basket out the door, and hired a new one at the street corner. He got a car and took Tao Zi to the fan building.

When they arrived at the west corner gate of the fan building, there was indeed someone guarding outside. After hearing their explanation of their visit, the man was not in any trouble.

The Wen family's father and daughter knew the way of doing business, and they didn't calculate it at one hundred and five, but at one hundred. They only charged three rounds, and the remaining five peaches were just said Give it to the stewards who are present for settlement and counting to taste.

When the stewards saw that they were so upright, their expressions became a little more sincere.

After taking the money and hiding it carefully, the father and daughter were not in a hurry to go back. Anyway, they had nothing to do, so they planned to go back while shopping, just as she was thinking about what to buy for the Sun's family dinner another day.

When counting the peaches, Wen Shu thought about whether to send some to the Sun family, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate.

In fact, at this time of year, the origin of the peaches is really hard to explain. Even if it is said that they bought them in a restaurant, the Sun family might not believe it, because how could people like them go to a restaurant for no reason? Maybe I'm willing to buy such an expensive peach to go home.

Just now when I was counting in the building, some stewards also curiously asked where the peaches came from, and why there are still fresh peaches in this season.

Fortunately, the father and daughter had already thought up their arguments at home. At present, they only said that it was a method of preserving freshness handed down by their ancestors, which can temporarily store the fruits in spring and summer to keep them fresh and tender. However, the process is extremely cumbersome and can be stored. There are not many of them, so only a hundred of them are hidden.

Later, he complained half-truthfully and half-falsely, saying that this method would not make any money at all, and he had to wait for it every day. After excluding the labor, he paid a lot of money. It was really not worthwhile, and he would not do it again next year.

Those stewards didn't know whether to believe it or not, anyway, they didn't get to the bottom of it.
