Pastoral little master

Chapter 39 Profiteering
A car of firewood is actually not worth much.

But Mrs. Zhao was worried after thinking about it.

She was not in good health, so she had to ask Mr. Tan to go out in person.

Because of his mother's distrust, Tan Dejin's eyes suddenly darkened.

And Qiduo is in focus.

If someone follows, how can things be sold?
Grandpa Tan frowned, "Boss is not a child anymore, and I need to follow him when selling chariots and firewood, so let him go."

He knows how much a car of firewood can sell.

There is no need to follow along.

But Mrs. Zhao refused, "Boss, be honest, don't be fooled by those evil-minded people."

What is in my heart is that I am afraid that Tan Dejin is hiding money!

It made sense for Mr. Tan to think about it. He knocked the soot in the cigarette pot and prepared to get up.

Qiduo twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled cheerfully at Master Tan, "Grandpa, it's really kind of you to go with us.

My father was worried about how long it would take to chop firewood before he could make enough money to buy ginseng for Liu Lang.

With you here, we don't have to worry about having no money to buy ginseng. "

She glanced at Tan Dejin.

Tan Dejin will also agree.

Although he didn't agree with this idea, he still bit the bullet and said in a low voice, "Yes, Dad, you should buy ginseng for Liu Lang first.

These days, I will chop more firewood to sell, and put together the ginseng money. "

Mr. Tan turned pale.

He wants to save face, but if he really wants to spend money to buy ginseng for Liu Lang, he is reluctant.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao's face immediately sank.

A ginseng costs several taels of silver!
A car of firewood can be sold for less than [-] yuan, and it will take a year of the monkey to get together the money for a ginseng?

"Don't you still have silver with you?" Mrs. Zhao asked cheekily.

"Not enough, the cheapest ginseng costs ten taels of silver each." Tan Dejin replied.

This is not a lie.

When he was grabbing the medicine for Liu Lang, someone happened to ask for the price, and he heard it from the side.

Ten taels of silver!

Zhao sneered.

Then he looked sideways at Mr. Tan, "Old man, I remembered, didn't the second father ask you to go over and help look at the rice seeds, why did you forget this, go quickly."

Mr. Tan understood what she meant, and immediately nodded, "I really forgot, then I'll go there first."

With his hands behind his back, he left the main room and walked out of the courtyard.

Looking at his hurried back, Qiduo felt very ridiculous.

Sure enough, when money was mentioned, grandma changed his face.

Qiduo turned to look at Mrs. Zhao, "Grandma, that ginseng..."

"Bah, you don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the dead thing." Zhao Shi spat hard, then turned and went back to the house.

Qiduo father and daughter were left to the side.

"Father, let's go quickly." Qiduo whispered.

The father and daughter hurried out of the yard and drove the ox cart to the town.

Tanjiazhuang is a village below Yutan Town, not far away, and the bullock cart will arrive in about half an hour.

And Yutan Town is closer to Tonglin County, only a quarter of an hour away.

Tonglin County is located on the banks of the Zijiang River, and there are seven or eight docks where ships can berth.

Zijiang is the largest and longest river, and Shixi River is its tributary.

Ships of all sizes on the river welcome and send them off, which is very lively.

This is the main reason for the prosperity of Tonglin County.

As the nearest market town, Yutan Town, it is much more lively than ordinary towns.

The spacious streets are lined with shops of all sizes.

Buzhuang Mipu Medical Center Jewelry Pavilion restaurant has everything you expect.

Although there is no market, there are still people coming and going on the street, and the shouts of customers from various stores keep coming and going.

There are also peddlers carrying burdens walking through the streets and alleys, selling their wares.

Qiduo looked at everything in front of her, her eyes were inexplicably flooded.

This is truly antique ancient times, I finally saw it with my own eyes.

Walking through it, she still had a sense of unreality.

Shen Nan was studying at Huairen Academy in the town.

The academy was established by Shen Huairen after he first became an official, and was funded by several gentry from the town.

On the way to the academy, she saw a butcher shop by the side of the road, and Qiduo ran to inquire about the price of the wild boar.

Seeing Qiduo, the dark-skinned butcher thought he was here to buy meat, and greeted him enthusiastically, "Little girl, what do you want to buy?"

Qiduo glanced at the meat table, it sold pork.

Authentic black pork.

The bamboo shoots in the bamboo basket next to the meat case caught her attention.

"How do you sell this?" Qiduo asked, pointing at the bamboo shoots.

"Fifteen cents a catty," replied the butcher.

Qiduo stared, "Ah, so expensive."

The second reaction was that she was fooled!
"Hey!" The butcher sneered, "Expensive? It's pretty cheap for me, and there are only two or three in the whole town selling it.

That's all that's left, come back later, no amount of money can buy it.

This thing costs more than 100 yuan a dish in a restaurant. "

The tone was disdainful, Qiduo didn't care.

All she cared about was being lied to.

The young owner of the Spring Breeze Building has a face of honesty and honesty, but he is a real profiteer.

Bamboo shoots worth fifteen cents, he sold them for five cents, and he still thinks they are too expensive.

Profiteer, profiteer!
Qiduo cursed bitterly in her heart a few times before returning to the subject, "Uncle, do you collect wild boars here?"

Not here to buy meat, the enthusiasm of the butcher has dropped a bit.

But there was a flash of light in his eyes, "Do you have a wild boar?"

"En." Qiduo nodded.

"Let me see." The butcher said urgently.

"Talk about the price first." Qiduo was not in a hurry, seeing his eagerness.

"A hairy pig is eight cents a catty, and a clean pig is twenty cents a catty." The butcher offered the price.

Hairy pigs refer to whole pigs that have not been slaughtered, and clean pigs are sold directly on the table.

"It's too cheap." Qiduo was very disappointed.

"Cheap?" The butcher curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand.

Things like wild boars are not easy to get, but very few people eat them. They are full of fine meat and stick to their teeth.

To tell you the truth, if someone hadn't asked this question in the past two days, I wouldn't have accepted it. "

Uh!
Qiduo was startled slightly.

What does this mean?
It is true that wild boar has a lot of lean meat. Did ancient people like to eat fatty meat?

"Where is the thing?" The butcher became impatient, and when he saw Tan Dejin, he pointed and asked, "Is it in the car?"

"Oh, no, I'm asking for someone else.

I'm going to tell her the price now, and if she's willing to sell it, I'll come over later. " Qiduo made up an excuse.

The butcher frowned, "There is nothing, it will take me a long time to talk."

Qiduo smiled and ran to Tan Dejin's place.

He whispered the price.

Tan Dejin also felt cheap.

Qiduo also talked about the price of bamboo shoots, saying that she suffered a loss.

Tan Dejin comforted, "Don't worry about it, it didn't cost any money anyway, it just took some effort."

Qiduo nodded, and could only use this reason to make herself feel better.

But still a little depressed.

Tan Dejin drove the ox cart to the side of the academy.

Qiduo was waiting for Shen Nan at the gate of the academy.

The academy was about to finish school, and the students in plain clothes and blue scarves came out one after another.

Qiduo suddenly felt someone behind her.

But before he turned his head away, the drooping braid was pulled twice.

"Who is it?" Qiduo frowned and turned around.

Somewhat displeased.

I'm not afraid of some evil person, at this time people are coming and going, and my father is also on the side.

"Hmph!" The guy who pulled her braid sneered with eyebrows raised and nose raised.

"Uh, why is it you?" Qiduo asked in surprise when she saw the person behind her clearly.

It was Han Hewen who was pushed into the river by mistake last time.

She was still dressed in a green brocade robe, which made her complexion fair and tender.

It's really a narrow road for enemies.

Han Hewen glanced at her, "Why can't it be me?
Hmph, the last time you pushed me into the river, I haven't settled with you yet, how dare you come to our academy.

You said, how to compensate me? "

Qiduo frowned, this child is really annoying.

"Master Han is really forgetful. Last time you said that you rolled down by yourself, what has nothing to do with me." Qi Duo responded coldly.

Then she turned her head and ignored him, but she was not interested in chatting with a child.

Look inside the academy.

Why hasn't Shen Xiaosan come yet?
Han Hewen gritted his teeth angrily, "Little girl, you still dare to play tricks on me. Last time I said that on purpose to save you."

Qiduomo, ignore him.

"You ungrateful little girl, you don't even know how to thank me for helping you out." Han Hewen was angry.

Qiduo was still silent, and only hoped that Shen Nan would show up soon.

"Little girl, is your name Qiduo? I heard Shen Nan calling you like that." Han Hewen said again.

Qiduo was silent.

"Hey, little girl, did you hear me?" Han Hewen's face flushed with anger.

Seeing that Qiduo still ignored him, she stretched out her hand to pull her braid again.

Qiduo gritted her teeth, looked back and glared, "Master Han, please respect yourself.

Last time you were unreasonable first, for the sake of brother Shen Nan, I don't care about you, you still have the face to come to me.

what on earth do you want?Do you want to fall into the water again? "

Looking at the angry Qiduo, Han Hewen was stunned.

"If you have something to say, why are you so angry?" He rubbed his nose and muttered softly, his powerful aura instantly collapsed.

Qiduo gave him a hard look.

When she was about to leave, Shen Nan's clear voice came, "Qiduo."

Turning around, Shen Nan was already approaching.

"Brother Nan." Qiduo called out.

"Master called me to talk just now, I'm delayed, please wait." Shen Nan explained the reason for being late in a gentle voice.

"Don't worry." Qiduo shook her head.

Shen Nan looked at Han Hewen at the side, and frowned, "Han Hewen, are you bullying Qiduo again?"

He saw Han and Wen's expressions were different, so he was suspicious.

Han Hewen quickly waved his hands, "She is so fierce, who dares to bully her."

Qiduo gave him a cold look, and only said to Shen Nan, "Where are we going?"

Shen Nan looked at Han Hewen, "Let's go."

Han Hewen held his head high again, and said to Qiduo, "You want to sell something, first call brother to listen."

With her little hands behind her back, her eyes are half-closed, very frightened.

"Han Hewen, don't bully Qiduo." Shen Nan narrowed his eyes and warned.

Han Hewen curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and said with confidence, "Who bullied her? We are the same age. If she can call you brother, why can't she call me brother?"

Qiduo was very speechless, really childish.

Shen Nan gritted her teeth at the side!
If it wasn't for selling Qiduo's things, he would have dragged her away long ago, so why bother with Han Hewen.

Qiduo doesn't understand, what is the relationship between selling things and Han Hewen.

Shen Nan saw Qiduo looked at him suspiciously, and explained, "His family has two restaurants, one in each town and county."

Qiduo suddenly realized.

He only guessed that Han Hewen was the son of a rich family, but he didn't expect that his family owned a restaurant.

Looking at Han Hewen's smug eyes, Qiduo really wanted to punch him.

But if he wanted something from others, he could only smile, and shouted in a very uncomfortable voice, "Brother Wen, then I will be in trouble."

"Hey." Han Hewen responded with a smile, and raised his eyebrows proudly at Shen Nan.

The goal was achieved, but Han Hewen suppressed his smile, and said to Qiduo seriously, "Sister Qiduo, although this is my family's restaurant, I can't guarantee that the second brother will definitely want your things.

For a restaurant, the quality of the food is very important, otherwise it will not be possible to make delicious food. "

Well, that makes sense.

Qiduo's impression of him changed slightly.

"Don't worry, if the things are not good or not what your restaurant needs, I won't make things difficult for you and Brother Nan." Qi Duo also responded seriously.

"Okay." Han Hewen nodded.

Qiduo took Shen Nan and Han Hewen to call me Tan Dejin.

Seeing the load of firewood, Han Hewen was speechless, "Sister Qiduo, don't you just sell firewood?"

"Of course not, the good stuff is down there." Qiduo smiled.

Shen Nan's eyes flickered slightly, her thin lips were pursed into a straight line, and she didn't speak.

He understood Qiduo's difficulties.

Han Hewen took Qiduo and they went straight along the road east of the academy and came to the most prosperous Lianhua Road in Yutan Town.

"That's my restaurant." Han Hewen pointed to a small three-story building.
