Chapter 45 What my wife said

The waiter has met a lot of people. Miss Jiang is a strong, tough and majestic man. He looks like a hunter, and he is also a good hunter.

Jiang Miao's eyes lit up, "Isn't the price of pheasant about forty or fifty cents per pound?"

The waiter nodded, "We usually charge forty-three cents."

Jiang Miao was stunned. The price was even more expensive than that of a hare. Did she lower the price last time she sold rabbits?

After asking some scattered questions, the waiter answered them patiently. Jiang Miao gratefully stuffed him with a handful of dates before leaving with Cheng Huai.

The steamed stuffed buns and vegetables were sold out, and the remaining dried red dates were left. Cheng Huai took the ginger seedlings to the medicine store.

Entering the medicine shop, there was a strong smell of herbal medicine. Jiang Miao did not directly carry the dates in, but asked Cheng Huai to wait at the door. He first went to find the medicine shop owner who was looking after the shop.

Seeing someone coming to grab medicine, the other person put down what he was doing and asked, "What medicine do you want to grab, girl?"

"Shopkeeper, do you have dried dates for sale here?" Jiang Miao asked in a slow voice.

The drugstore shopkeeper nodded, "It's available for two cents and one tael. How much does the girl want?"

That's twenty cents per pound. Jiang Miao immediately asked, "Does the drug store collect dried dates? I picked some here and dried them."

The shopkeeper then realized that this girl was not here to get medicine, but to do business.

If I had known, the price would have been lowered just now.

His expression immediately became serious, "If you accept it, it depends on the quality. Generally, you accept it at one penny or one tael."

This is just cutting the price in half, but if you can get it, it will be fine.

Jiang Miao nodded: "The shopkeeper, wait for me."

She went out and called Cheng Huai, and soon she and Cheng Huai entered the drug store.

Suddenly seeing such a tall man walking in, the medicine shop owner almost thought that he was here to cause trouble. Fortunately, there was also a petite Jiang Miao beside him.

He walked out of the medicine cabinet and bent down to look at the basket in Cheng Huai's hand.

Jiang Miao walked over and took out the cloth bag containing dried red dates, "Shopkeeper, let's take a look, what's the quality of this?"

"Well, the quality is good." The shopkeeper grabbed a handful to look at.

Jiang Miao took the bag back and asked, "Can the price be higher? We dried the dates at home."

The shopkeeper shook his head: "A penny or a tael is not too low. We have no shortage of dried dates in our drug store. I just think the girl is kind, so it doesn't hurt to take them."

Jiang Miao raised her head to look at Cheng Huai, and seeing him nodding, she knew that the price should be enough. She immediately handed over the dried dates and said, "Then shopkeeper, please weigh it."

The shopkeeper immediately carried the cloth bag to the counter and said, "Two catties and seven taels, I will calculate it as three catties for you."

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper." Jiang Miao thanked her with a smile.

The shopkeeper gave the money and said slowly: "You can send it over if you still have it next time. We'll keep charging this price."

Jiang Miao nodded and fell silent when she saw someone coming to grab medicine.

After stuffing thirty copper coins into her money bag, Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai were about to go out. When they saw another person approaching, who was also selling medicine for money, Jiang Miao took another look.

Cheng Huai stacked the two baskets together and carried them, and took the initiative to hold Jiang Miao's hand with his other hand: "Let's go."

Jiang Miao withdrew her gaze, glanced at his hands, looked up at his calm expression, and nodded: "Well, let's buy pork first."

Went to the butcher who sold pork. Jiang Miao bought five kilograms of pork in one go, and also asked for the big bones on the side, giving a total of seventy coins.

I asked about the flour for making steamed buns. Flour is much more expensive than rice. Now the price of rice has risen from two cents to four cents, and the price of flour has risen directly from four cents to six cents.

If the drought continues like this, prices will probably rise in the future.

After buying fifty pounds of flour, three hundred cash was spent.

Jiang Miao paid the money and saw the man moving the flour bag into the basket easily, and couldn't help but envy the other man's strength.

"Cheng Huai, where is the place in town that sells chickens and ducks?"

Carrying the basket, Cheng Huai looked down at her and said, "I'll take you there."

There is a fixed place for buying and selling chickens and ducks in the town. Because of the strong smell, they are not allowed to be placed anywhere else.

As soon as you enter, there are all kinds of chirping sounds, accompanied by the smell of poultry feces.

Jiang Miao smelled it and quickly covered her nose with her sleeves.

Seeing her discomfort, Cheng Huai took her outside and said, "I'll buy it while you watch outside."

Seeing him turning around and about to go in, Jiang Miao quickly grabbed him, a little dumbfounded: "Cheng Huai, don't worry, I haven't given you the money yet."

The man paused, a flash of embarrassment flashing in his eyes.

It was rare to see him with such a rich expression. Jiang Miao smiled and put the money bag into his hand, "Remember to bargain with that person and buy five hens, three males. The females usually cost four cents and the males three cents."

.”

Yu Ying told her before going out, and now she told Cheng Huai again to prevent him from being slaughtered.

"I see."

Probably still a little embarrassed, Cheng Huai pursed his lips and took the money bag. Seeing that there were many women selling vegetables nearby, he felt free to go buy chicken seedlings.

Although there were many people in the place where poultry was bought and sold, Cheng Huai was very tall. Even if he walked inside, Jiang Miao could spot him at a glance, which made her feel relieved.

After a long time, Cheng Huai came out with a cage of chickens. His cheeks were slightly red, thinking that he had been bargaining with someone just now.

Jiang Miao couldn't help laughing when she thought about that scene. She pursed her lips tightly to avoid laughing. She glanced at the chickens in the cage and praised them seriously: "These chickens are very good. Cheng Huai, you are so awesome!"

Facing her clear and bright eyes, Cheng Huai immediately looked away.

Thinking of how he had just bargained with the chicken seller and kept saying what my wife said, he couldn't control himself and felt a surge of heat in his heart.

"Selling fish! Twelve cents a piece, big or small, all twelve cents!"

Passing by a fish stall, the loud shouting made Jiang Miao couldn't help but take a second look.

Cheng Huai stopped, walked over and picked out a fresh and relatively large fish, gave him twelve coins, and carried the fish over.

He also stuffed the money bag into Jiang Miao's hand.

Jiang Miao took out the straw hat from the basket to make room for the fish, and looked at the rough man in front of her with a smile, "Cheng Huai, do you like fish?"

The man's eyes flickered, he responded imperceptibly, and prepared to go back with the basket in hand.

Jiang Miao quickly followed up and tiptoed to put a straw hat on his head. Cheng Huai had to stop and bent down to let her put it on him.

He is not afraid of the sun, but the ginger seedlings seem to be afraid of him being exposed to the sun.

He was carrying something in both hands, and Jiang Miao grabbed the basket and walked beside him. As he walked, he said: "If you like fish, I will buy a piece of tofu in the evening and make tofu stewed with fish. It is very good."

eat."

Her smile was bright and dazzling, smart and cute. Cheng Huai's throat tightened and he let out a low "hmm".
