Chapter 9: Chapter 9 You are quite self-aware
Shen Qian thought about it on the way and said, "There is a restaurant that specializes in delivering meat and vegetables. We may not be able to eat so much meat. There are many people in the market. I suggest going there. What do you think?"
Shen Nian didn't understand anything and nodded, "I have no objection."
Neither the siblings had any objections, and the three of them walked towards the market.
The market is very lively, with everything for sale and people coming and going.
Shen Kun quickly opened the soft mat covering the cart and shouted loudly.
"Fresh wild boar and tiger meat, if you want to buy it, come and see it."
Wild boar meat is fresh, and tiger meat is even fresher. Just this sentence attracted people around to watch.
"Tiger meat?" A strong man raised his voice, "Where is it? Let me see."
Seeing that there were only two young men and a girl selling meat, he had doubts on his face.
"…I'm afraid you're lying to me, you can't get any tiger meat."
People around him also spoke one after another.
"Yes, that's the king of the mountain. If they go together, they may not hurt the tiger at all."
"Hey! People's hearts are old, and they can even make up lies like this just for money."
"It's a lie as soon as you hear it, and whoever buys it is a fool."
Some people saw that the three Shen Nian brothers were not very old, and thinking of the children at home, they kindly reminded them, "You three, please stop making trouble, close the stall and go back. It's not good to lie to others."
Shen Gan opened the intact tiger skin tanned by his sister with a calm expression.
The tiger skin is brownish-yellow with large black stripes on it.
I wonder how majestic this tiger was when he was alive!
"The tiger skin is here, do we think we are lying?" Shen Kun raised his chin with a youthful look on his face.
At this moment, a traveling businessman's eyes flashed and he said, "I want this tiger skin. I will pay you thirty taels. Are you willing to pay it?"
Thirty taels? ! !
Shen Qian and Shen Kun were shocked by the price and their minds went blank.
Shen Nian didn't know whether the price was high or low, so he habitually raised the price, "This price is too low."
The traveling businessman is going to Zhongdu this time, where there are the most dignitaries and nobles, and they are all rich in money.
This tiger skin looks very good and will definitely fetch a good price.
He immediately added ten taels and said, "Okay, forty taels. What do you think, girl?"
Shen Nian looked calm.
She used the wood power when tanning the tiger skin. This tiger skin has the effect of warming and nourishing the body, and it is worth the price.
The foot merchant thought she was still not happy, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll add another five taels. If it works, the deal will be done. If it doesn't work, forget it."
Forty-five taels is his psychological value.
Shen Nian immediately came to his senses and said, "Okay, deal is done."
One tiger skin was sold for forty-five taels, and the onlookers were very satisfied to watch the fun.
Shen Kun pinched his thigh and managed to stay calm. Taking advantage of the crowd, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Fresh wild boar and tiger meat, buy early and pick early, they will be gone when they are out of date."
People who were looking at the excitement rushed forward. You bought one catty and I bought two catties.
Sold out in a short while, it was sold for 77 to 88 bucks.
Tiger meat is slightly more expensive, so no one is buying it for the time being.
When the old woman running a stall nearby saw it, she said enthusiastically: "Girl, I heard that Yuan Zhang is celebrating his father's birthday. The family is short of game. You can go to the east of the city and ask."
This news was timely. Shen Qian gave the aunt a piece of pork as a thank you gift, "Thank you, aunt. We will go to the east of the city right now."
After thanking him, he took Shen Kun and Shen Nian and left.
The old woman didn't expect to get a piece of white meat, so she was very happy.
Zhang Yuanwai is a well-known good person in the county, and the gatekeeper is also very kind.
Hearing that Shen Nian and others were here to sell wild game, he immediately called the housekeeper. When the steward saw that the meat was indeed fresh and tiger meat was rare, he decided to buy it.
This is also due to Shen Nian's skill in grinding meat with his hands. The meat has distinct pieces and a good-looking color, and it also saves time on processing.
"Your meat is well prepared. I'll pay you thirty cents per catty. What do you think?"
Shen Qian knew that this was of great value, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
"Brother, it's so refreshing." Zhang's housekeeper said with a smile and motioned for the people below to weigh in.
A few people took action quickly.
A young man who looked quite smart said: "Steward, three hundred and twenty pounds."
"That's more than nine taels, less than ten taels." Butler Zhang quickly calculated the account. Seeing that Shen Nian and the others were dressed in shabby clothes and their faces were not very good, he softened and said, "I'll give you a round number. It's a lot." Just think of it as a thank you gift for your special trip to celebrate my old lady's birthday."
After speaking, he took out ten taels of silver and gave them to Shen Gan.
Shen Qian gave a junior salute and said, "Thank you, Butler Zhang."
Shen Kun and Shen Nian are like cats and tigers.
Subsequently, the three brothers and sisters left Zhang Mansion.
Watching them leave, a boy in the yard suddenly said, "Uncle, is thirty cents per pound too much?"
Steward Zhang glanced at his nephew and shook his head, "Not much."
As he spoke, he gave an explanation, "Tiger is a ferocious beast. Most people would not dare to hunt a tiger. Those three brothers and sisters were able to get a tiger just now. There must be a capable person behind it, and the price is in place. If anything happens in the future, it can be easily discussed."
"and…"
He paused and said, "Tiger meat is rare. Tiger meat appeared at our old man's birthday banquet. It's so prestigious. Do you think the reward will be less?"
Steward Zhang's nephew shook his head violently, his eyes filled with admiration, "Uncle, I can't believe you are more powerful."
"You are still young, learn slowly." Butler Zhang smiled and went to work.
the other side.
Shen Kun felt like he was floating, looking at everyone like a thief who was worried about his own money.
Shen Nian was speechless, "Second brother, don't be so tense. Isn't this clearly telling people that you have money in your pocket?"
"Sister, I don't want to either, but I can't control myself. I can't even buy it for so much money." Shen Kun felt aggrieved.
Shen Nian: "Second brother, you are quite self-aware."
"Shen Kun, if you continue to be so useless, we will act separately." Shen Qian said calmly.
As soon as Shen Kun heard this, he immediately became normal, "No, I want to go with my sister."
Shen Qian ignored him and looked at Shen Nian with soft eyes, "Nian Nian, there is still a while, do you want to go shopping somewhere?"
Shen Nian: "I want to buy something to eat!"
Shen Qian came to the county to sell medicinal materials in ten and a half days. He was quite familiar with the place, so he took Shen Nian around and bought a lot of food.
Sautéed millet seeds, big meat buns, mung bean cakes…
Shen Nian felt so satisfied after eating.
The three brothers wandered around aimlessly, buying and selling various things, making those who followed them want to rob and cry.
"Boss, my legs are numb!"
"Me too, if we continue like this, we will kneel down before we can grab ourselves."
"When are those three going to be transferred? I'm so **** hungry."
Seeing that his younger brothers were full of complaints, the leader of the small gang moved his sore thigh and spat on the ground.
"Mom, why don't you exhaust them to death?" After cursing, he said: "Let's go, follow me to the outside of the city to block people!"
The younger brothers understand what it means to go to the eldest brother, "The eldest brother is still smarter."
