Chapter 23 Buying Meat
Xu Jiaoxing smiled bitterly, only to think that Tian Furong must have found that Aman had fooled her, and she was just angry now. It would be fine if she was alone, plus the hamster in Tian...
Xu Jiaoxing felt that she would definitely not win. Since she could not win, then run!
So she pulled Aman and ran out without saying a word.
Tian Furong didn't expect Xu Jiaoxing to run away suddenly. After a moment of surprise, she finally shouted at her: "Why are you running? Come back, I have something to tell you."
Xu Jiaoxing was not stupid. After this, she felt that she was in trouble. She just hid in the East City, but when she came to the West City, she encountered it again.
Aman had short arms and legs, so naturally he couldn't run for a while. In order to escape, Xu Jiaoxing hugged Aman and started running again. Until she couldn't run and saw no one following her, she held the short wall beside her and gasped.
"Mom, why are we running away? I saw that she seemed to have something to tell us. Maybe she wanted to buy our dried bamboo shoots?"
As Aman said, seeing that Xu Jiaoxing was already exhausted and sweating profusely, he hurriedly reached out to help Xu Jiaoxing wipe the sweat.
Xu Jiaoxing was panting, and suddenly felt that her son had a little white temperament. Suddenly, Tian Furong's panting voice came from behind: "You, why are you running? It's so hard for me to chase after you."
Xu Jiaoxing smiled bitterly. She really didn't expect Tian Furong to follow her. When she turned around, she saw Tian Furong still following Tian Hamster, Xu Jiaoxing's heart jumped again.
It's so miserable, I'm afraid they will have a fight with her today!
Just as he was thinking, Tian Furong said again: "Do you still have any bitter bamboo shoots you sold to me last time? I sold a lot of them in the restaurant, but I didn't see them outside."
Xu Jiaoxing opened her mouth, a little surprised: "Just because of this?"
Tian Furong glanced at her: "Otherwise, what do you think?"
Xu Jiaoxing breathed a sigh of relief. Since that was the case, everything was easy to say. After patting his heart, Xu Jiaoxing then took a piece of dried bamboo shoots in the backpack for Tian Furong to see.
"I don't have any bitter bamboo shoots today, but I have a lot of dried bamboo shoots. The dried bamboo shoots have a unique flavor. The most important thing is that even in winter, some people will eat them, so they will definitely not stop the livelihood in the restaurant."
Xu Jiaoxing pushed hard, but Tian Furong was not very interested: "How many dried bamboo shoots are sold in the restaurant a year, and there are still a lot of them in the kitchen."
With a look, she saw Xu Jiaoxing's locust fungus covered with rags and said novelly: "What are you? You are so tightly covered, so what is your baby?"
As she said that, she had reached out to reveal the cloth.
Xu Jiaoxing was determined to stop her, but before she could reach out, she had already pulled the rag into her hand.
"It's this broken Ganoderma lucidum again?" Tian Chamfer said angrily.
Xu Jiaoxing coughed dryly. Since she had already blocked the gun, she could only continue with her teeth.
"This is not a Ganoderma lucidum. It is a high-quality locust fungus. It can only grow on a locust tree. Moreover, the growth cycle is very rare."
"That turtle, you really dare to deceive me!" Tian Chamfer was furious, and his rough face turned red because of his anger.
Xu Jiaoxing couldn't take the blame for anyone, and in this situation, he couldn't help saying: "Who dares to lie to you, who is in charge of the matter? This matter is endless."
"Isn't that just?" Tian Chamshi said, and couldn't help but look at Xu Jiaoxing carefully: "Why do I think you look familiar?"
Xu Jiaoxing's heart suddenly jumped, and Tian Furong on the side had already spoken: "Brother, look no further than anyone else. I bought this locust wood ear and took it back to give it to the young master to try it. He must have never eaten this thing. He will definitely be very happy at that time."
"Then you will sell these dried bamboo shoots to you together, and you will be cheaper, and you will be worth 6 cents per pound, how about it?" Xu Jiaoxing also wanted to leave quickly, but since Tian Furong wanted to buy something, she might as well push it again.
"But there are still many in the mansion."
Seeing that Tian Furong was not very interested, Xu Jiaoxing hurriedly said, "But you can still eat it in winter. I will charge you a little cheaper. How about five cents? This is the cheapest price."
"Brother, you can buy it in a restaurant. It's cheap and willing to do it. Just think of helping this ugly girl."
As soon as Tian Furong opened her words, Tian Chamfer, who was still thinking on the side, finally came to her senses. Xu Jiaoxing was afraid that he would make things difficult for him when he remembered her, but he didn't expect that he just nodded and said, "The bamboo shoots in our building are all given by someone. However, since my sister spoke, I just took them for my sister's sake. What I really want is bitter bamboo shoots. If you look back, you can deliver them to me."
Xu Jiaoxing nodded like pounding garlic, followed the brother and sister to weigh it, and bought a total of 185 cents. When she and Aman left the western market, they breathed a sigh of relief.
I bought a small scale at the entrance of the East and West City for 6 cents. I walked through the alley and saw three or five pork stalls.
Xu Jiaoxing felt that it was necessary to suppress her and Aman, so she brought Aman to the pork stall.
As soon as Xu Jiaoxing walked over, the butchers stood up and greeted each other happily. Although they did not directly fight the gunmen, the smell was very obvious.
"How do you sell pork?" Xu Jiaoxing asked the first one, and the man paid for a smile and hurriedly said, "Twelve cents per pound, how much does a girl want?"
Xu Jiaoxing remembered that Liu Guixian had bought a pound of pork for nine cents. She realized that the meat vendor was not honest and deliberately called for a high price. Then she silently pulled Aman to the next meat stall.
"Girl, ten cents per pound, how about it?" Before Xu Jiaoxing could speak, the owner of the meat stall spoke again.
"Does Jiuwen be sold?" Xu Jiaoxing looked up at the butcher, feeling that the man was fat, with a very dark skin, but his face still had a radiant redness. He looked like he didn't look like a local.
The man thought about it and nodded cheerfully: "Forget it, this is going to be off the market, so I will sell it to you at a cheap price. But, girl, don't tell others that this meat was bought from my Tang Shoujiu. I bought eleven or two cents per pound at the morning market. If someone knows that I will sell it to you for nine cents, it won't be a problem for me."
Whether his words were true or not, Xu Jiaoxing no longer wanted to think about it, so she smiled and nodded: "Then thank you Master Tang. I want about one pound, so it can't be too much."
"Okay." Tang Shuaimao responded with a hearty voice, raised his knife and immediately cut a large piece of the meat. After weighing it, it was just enough for a pound.
So Xu Jiaoxing had a much better impression of him. Who among the meat sells outside did not deliberately cut more and sell them if they could be sold?
After picking up the meat, Xu Jiaoxing saw that there was a cylindrical bone in the basin on the ground, and asked him again: "Where is the cylindrical bone? How do you sell it?"
"It's only one. If you want it, you'll sell you three cents per girl. You know, I'm not only one pound of sticks, I can't lose you." Tang Mairu said, and he reached out to get it for Xu Jiaoxing.
Xu Jiaoxing did not object, touched twelve copper plates and when he picked up the bottle, he put the money in Tang Shuai's hand.
This bottle of bone is also very valuable. Xu Jiaoxing was very satisfied. She raised her eyes and looked at Aman's body like bean sprout grass. She thought secretly that she must make up for him in the future.
Tang had a very good attitude towards selling meat. Seeing Xu Jiaoxing and Aman leaving, he hurriedly called them to walk slowly.
Xu Jiaoxing responded and glanced at the meat stall. He saw that Tang Mama’s meat rack had the least meat hanging on it. He didn’t have to think about it and knew that his business should be the best.
When he left the city gate, he happened to see Uncle Chuan standing in front of the ox cart, waving to her. Xu Jiaoxing originally thought Uncle Chuan had left, so he hurriedly pulled Aman to run forward.
"Xing Girl, why are you so late again? Fortunately, old man, I know you are pulling half of your eldest son and can't walk, otherwise I'd be back."
Uncle Chuan's helpless and complaining voice came. Xu Jiaoxing thanked him and carried Aman to the ox cart. The dissatisfaction he had developed towards Uncle Chuan in the morning was now completely gone.
After taking out the money to get on the car, the ox cart started quickly. Xu Jiaoxing panted and asked Aman to tie the cart up. Then he heard a sarcastic voice coming from his ears: "Oh, Jiaoxing, I also bought meat. Where did you get the money to buy the meat? It wasn't it given by the Gu family?"
Xu Jiaoxing frowned and looked at the woman who was talking to her. She saw that the woman was neither fat nor thin, and the vulgar taste that was spinning in her small eyes was unhappy.
Xu Jiaoxing recognized her. She was Bai Lichang’s wife, Zhou Xiaoqing’s mother-in-law Ma Meixiang, who was the one who took Liu Guixian’s silver and helped Liu Guixian tamper with the military list!
"What awesome? I don't know where the meat money comes from? I don't feel embarrassed!" Ma Meixiang was so dull that she saw Xu Jiaoxing didn't react, and finally said in a sharp voice.
"What kind of person are you? You look like others are like yourself."
She didn't want to make the situation too stiff, but unfortunately Ma Meixiang said this. If she didn't say anything, she would be too sorry for herself.
"You, what did you say to me!" Ma Mei was so fragrant. Xu Jiaoxing looked at her with confusion: "Did I say to you?"
Ma Meixiang was about to have an attack, but the woman sitting beside her said at the right time: "Okay, Sister Meixiang, aren't we just mentioned that your Xiaoqing's embroidery work is easy to sell? How about it, how much has it been sold this time? Look at the slump is full!"
