Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

The wonton stall is on the street corner, and the people around it are all migrant workers walking in a hurry.

Even the two people who had just eaten wontons got up and left after finishing their meals.

Therefore, at this time, only Wen Xian and Xia Zhi were sitting opposite each other at the stall, waiting for the wontons to be served.

The wontons were cooked quickly, and soon the lady boss brought out two bowls of wontons filled with eggs.

Not only that, the landlady also recognized Wen Xian's appearance.

"Ouch, but the man who killed fish at the Sun Pavilion yesterday?" the landlady said with bright eyes, "What kind of salmon can it really be eaten raw? How does it taste? Is it delicious? Will it spoil your stomach?"

She went to see the excitement yesterday, but unfortunately the fish was too expensive.It was only five pieces for half a tael of silver, so she went crazy to buy it.

However, she is still a little greedy for the expensive food that rich people eat.

This series of questions left Wen Xian speechless.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Look, am I not sitting here properly now? The fish must be edible and delicious. Otherwise, how could they all be sold out?"

The landlady just asked out of curiosity, and she didn't mind answering her questions.

I thought that after hearing the answer, the lady boss would go about her business.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xian looked up after eating a few wontons and found that the proprietress had not left, but was looking at her eagerly.

The corner of her mouth twitched slightly and she said quietly: "Madam boss, your wontons taste good."

The landlady raised her chin and said proudly: "Of course, I've been making these wontons for most of my life. Isn't it delicious?"

She lowered her voice and continued: "Young master, tell me what the salmon tastes like. Let me listen and satisfy my craving."

Wen Xian was silent and said: "You have to try it yourself to know the taste. In this way, next time there is salmon, you can go there early, how about I ask the shopkeeper to reserve a place for you to try it?"

It’s not impossible to continue the salmon tasting activities in the future.

With this gimmick, I believe salmon will not lack popularity and will not worry about selling.

"Oh, that's a good feeling." The landlady clapped her hands, "Young Master is a cheerful person. I'll treat you to the wontons today."

How much does a bowl of wonton cost? Even if you add an egg, it only costs three cents.But a piece of salmon was worth a hundred cents, so she made the profit no matter what.

Wen Xian paused, then smiled knowingly and said, "Thank you very much, boss lady."

Just for these two bowls of wontons, she had to catch another salmon no matter what.

After leaving the wonton stall, Wen Xian and Xia Zhi went to the seed shop and bought some vegetable seeds and fruit tree seeds.

What surprised her even more was that she discovered melon seeds and pumpkin seeds.

These two are easy-to-live things, so she bought a lot of them.

After leaving the seed store, they went to the grain and oil store.

Although Mi Mian Wenxian planned to go back to town to buy some, she still wanted to see what was available first.

In the grain and oil shop, the shopkeeper was flipping through his storybook on the counter in boredom.

Seeing her and Xia Zhi coming in, he quickly stood up and said, "You two gentlemen, what can you buy? I have everything here?"

"Have you got everything?" Wen Xian looked at the brown rice and noodles on the ground and wondered, "No polished rice?"

She looked around and saw that the shop had a lot of brown rice and noodles, as well as soy sauce, but she didn't see polished rice or noodles.

These days, are grain and oil shops divided into high-quality and low-class ones? Do you have to buy polished rice from other stores?
Hearing Wen Xian's words, the shopkeeper was not angry, but said with a smile: "Young Master is from out of town. You don't know something. Our city has a lot of disaster victims. In the past, these victims had just entered the city and were very hungry. They even robbed things. They robbed several kilograms of the polished rice in my shop. No, they have put these precious things inside now, and they are here."

He lifted up the wooden board beside the wall, revealing the contents of several wooden jars under the wooden board.

There are several large wooden vats under the wooden board, which contain polished rice, white flour, some millet and red dates.

Wen Xian took a look and said in surprise: "Then no one cares about them?"

She didn't expect that there was a story like this. The shopkeeper was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

The shopkeeper is a slightly fat middle-aged uncle, with a cheerful face at all times, like a Maitreya Buddha.

Although there was no visible impact on his face, it was obvious from his actual behavior that he was very scared.

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "I care, of course I care. Those who robbed things were all punished with fifty sticks and put in jail. They haven't been released yet."

But because of this, no one compensated for his losses at all.

Of course, even if those people were not imprisoned, there would be no compensation.

"If you lose money and avoid disaster, the shopkeeper will have a prosperous business and make a fortune in the future." Wen Xian comforted, and then asked, "How do you sell your refined rice and white flour?"

Hearing Wen Xian's words, the shopkeeper was very happy and said: "The price of polished rice and white flour is twenty cents per catty. This is the first business today, and I will give you two cents cheaper."

Just by breaking through the words "making money, avoiding disasters, and prospering business", he can lose two pennies.

However, Wen's face darkened: "Eighteen cents per catty, so expensive? I bought it some time ago, but it only cost six cents per catty."

Moreover, in her mind, the price of polished rice and white flour was six cents per pound.

"Liu Wen?" the shopkeeper asked, "Where did you buy it? Tell me quickly and I'll buy some too."

Six cents per catty was lower than his cost price.Why didn't he know about such a good thing?

Wen Xian's heart skipped a beat and she said calmly: "Shopkeeper, what was the price of this rice in the past? How much was it sold for at the lowest and highest price?"

She suddenly discovered that the price she had here was just her own default, and she had not confirmed it with Zhu Qing.

Thinking of this, Wen Xian suddenly wanted to slap herself twice. Why didn't she ask clearly about the price?

The shopkeeper saw Wen Xian's confusion and couldn't help but said happily: "Is this your first time to buy rice? I don't know about other places, but here, the highest price it sells is over fifty cash per catty, and the lowest price is fifteen cash."

He looked a little proud. Fifty cents per pound was his highlight moment.

He then added: "However, it was only fifteen cents per catty, and that was during the great harvest five years ago."

"What about fifty cents per pound? When did it happen?" Wen Xian asked.

What is the concept of fifty cents per catty? Take the breadwinner of an ordinary family as an example. Even if he earns twenty cents a day, he cannot buy half a catty of rice.

There are old people and young people at home. There are several people in the family waiting for dinner, and even half a kilogram of rice is not enough to fill the gap between their teeth.So, I can only buy brown rice.

The shopkeeper's face paused slightly: "Just last year during the war, fifty cents per pound had to be robbed, and the supply was limited."

Wen Xian understood that it was normal for prices to skyrocket during the war.

She wondered: "Then why did it go back to twenty cents per catty?"

The war has not subsided now, but exists in another way.The civil war turned into an internal and external war, and it had something to do with her.

Thinking of this, Wen Xian couldn't help but feel guilty.But I only felt guilty for a little while, and then I became normal again.
