Chapter 5 The goddess is here
...
When Ao Yan entered the building, he saw a wooden sign with vegetable prices on the back wall. The cheapest "peach blossom mandarin fish" was one of 88 articles, and the most expensive "silk squid" was one of 588 articles!
Mandarin fish is also called flower crucian carp, and crucian carp is also called carp, so "Silk Flower Cypress" is simply called mandarin fish.
The ordinary mandarin fish has three to seven kilograms, and the market price is only seventy-seven cents. The cheapest dish in Longtan Tower also costs eighty-eight cents. What if it is a big fish with a price of more than twenty kilograms?
If it were Ao Yan, he wouldn't have taken action at once. Wouldn't it be more profitable to cook a few dishes separately?
He didn't believe that such a big restaurant could not think of this, so it would be fine if this mandarin fish was sold for thousands of yuan after it was sold. Wouldn't it be a loss if he sold it at the market price?
But if the lion spoke loudly, this fat man was not stupid, how could he agree?
He thought, the fat man asked first how much he wanted to see how much he was, and then started to cut it. He said more and said less and couldn't figure out the other party's thinking. He always felt that he would suffer losses openly and secretly. He was so poor that he still suffered losses, so he didn't do it.
He rubbed his hands with a shy face, and smiled silly on his shy face. The country boy said embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper, the young man is ignorant. The neighbor helped weigh the scale. It was twenty-five pounds and nine taels. He wanted to sell it at the market price, but this thing was heavy and the road was long. In order to sell it at a good price, the young man wanted to lose his mind and tried his best to keep it alive. He transported it carefully all the way. And the young man dared to guarantee that the fish was not hurt. As for the price... You... You... You... You should look at it, the young man believed that you would not bully me a boy who just entered the town today, hehe..."
When the shopkeeper heard this, his chubby face shook, and he laughed and opened his eyes.
Twenty-five pounds and nine taels, heavy things and long journeys, I have to worry about keeping them fresh, without any harm, and I still believe in myself? Especially the words illiterate and bullying are just to tell myself not to lie to him?
"It's interesting and interesting." The shopkeeper secretly praised in his heart.
He called the waiter over and said, "How heavy is the fish weighing the solid scale?" After saying that, he turned around and said, "Drink a little tea from me first and bring a little."
There is something wrong with "scaling down" and "scaling down".
The store only says that if you weigh it, you have to press the scale head. The amount reported will definitely be low. The solid scale means "five to one", and less than twenty-six pounds are considered twenty-six.
Ao Yan was as careful as he was, how could he not notice this?
He nodded, still smiling silly.
Not long after, the waiter ran back and reported: "The shopkeeper, the fish was not injured, weighing 26 pounds, 4 liang and 7 qian."
"Oh?" The shopkeeper suddenly stopped holding his hand, holding his bearded, and opened his eyes to sweep Ao Yan up and down, exclaiming in a deep sense: "Young brother, you are a good method. It seems that the scales in your village are not accurate. I will give you twenty-seven pounds when the fish body is intact. According to the market price, I will count you three hundred pounds. It's not easy for you, little brother, I will add another fifty chunks to invite you to have tea, how about it?"
Ao Yan nodded to express satisfaction.
The pound I mentioned was just to see how good the store is. It seems pretty good now.
Ao Yan took the copper coins and left. Not long after leaving, a table of dishes called "Dragon Fish Banquet" was released on Longtan Tower. There were 14 dishes in total, five cold and nine hot, all made of a large mandarin fish, and the price was two taels of silver.
One tael of silver is a permanent sum of money, equivalent to a thousand quotations. This dish is simply a sky-high price.
But in fact, removing the ingredients, the master helper and other profits, and the big-headed fish purchase money, said it was a sky-high price, but after this time, Longtan Tower was in the limelight.
Of course this is a later story. Ao Yan would not think so much. He only knew that he was trapped in the eyes of money and was unwilling to come out.
The previous budget of 250 cents could make him excited. At this time, he had a full 100 cents more than his budget. How could he not be happy?
That's so happy, that's so excited, let alone it be.
I was so excited that I was crazy about gaining and losing my heart while walking on the road, and sometimes I felt like I was nervous, afraid that my money would be stolen.
I finally tightened my nerves and spent fifty cents to buy oil, salt, rice and flour to leave the town. I felt like a hundred hungry wolf was chasing me from behind. I spread my feet all the way and ran towards Xiangliu Village without any pauses in the middle, for fear of being seen.
"Hu...hu..." Back in the village, he held a tree and gasped and said to himself: "I finally know why those who won the lottery have to wear hats, masks, and sunglasses..."
After resting, I secretly returned to my hut. When I opened the door, I suddenly found a cloth bag at the door.
When I opened it, I saw that it contained vegetables, two bowls of rice and some chickens and ducks. When my eyes were hot, it must have been sent by Uncle Zhao's house in the north of the village.
For some time after he came here, he had been taking care of Uncle Zhao's house in the north of the village, and the family treated him well.
"Oh... the heart is simple." Ao Yan sighed, opened the door and entered the house and put the things in it. He took out a hundred cents and a pound of fine white flour and packed it in a cloth bag, locked the door and went to the north of the village.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of a yard, I saw the door open and noisy and crying sounds heard from inside, and my heart skipped a beat.
At this time the yard was full of people.
Through the crowd, a twelve or 3-year-old little girl with a pigtail was sitting on the steps and crying, while a woman wearing a floral dress next to her kept comforting her.
"Xiaobao, it's okay. Your parents are still strong. This disease will definitely be eliminated. Don't worry."
"Aunt Mei... wuwuwu..."
The girl Ao Yan recognized that she was Uncle Zhao’s only daughter, Zhao Xiaobao. The woman named Aunt Mei was more familiar with her. Isn’t it Yang Li?
"This Zhao Laosan is a man who can work alone. He is one of the best in good health. How can he fall down if he says it? Is it a plague..."
"Bah! Don't talk nonsense about the crow's mouth! How could only the couple faint if it were a plague?"
"I think there is something strange about this."
"After you say this, I really remembered that Zhao Laosan was fine yesterday. I heard that after hoeing the fields, I went to the mountains and picked some wild vegetables and suddenly came back."
"You mean..."
"His field is close to the Red Soil Slope, and you know where it was before, a mass grave."
At this point, the voice suddenly stopped, and everyone had a vague guess in their hearts, that is, Zhao Laosan was possessed by evil spirits.
"Oh, my daughter, stop crying, go to the east of the village and invite Xie Xian Gu." Someone came out to remind him.
When he heard this name, Ao Yan and Yang Li frowned at the same time.
Ao Yan frowned because the villagers were ignorant. After plowing the fields, they would go to the land temple to burn incense. When they had nothing to do, they would go to the God of Wealth Temple to burn incense. Whenever they didn’t go to burn incense, they would go to the fairy girl Xie to find.
He also knew this fairy and other things. He was just an old woman dressed in fancy clothes in her sixties. She was ashamed all day long, with an old witch and a shrew. None of the villagers dared to provoke her, and they said in secret that she didn't dare because she seemed to have some tricks. In this way, the villagers would not go to Mafice Town to hire a doctor when they were sick, but went to find the old witch.
The witch takes action once, one hundred ci, and the doctor takes action once, one hundred and twenty ci, and it can be seen which is more important.
For Ao Yan, who is a Hubo, this witch is a stumbling block.
Yang Li frowned because she believed Hu Bo now and was extremely disgusted with the witch Xie himself.
After hearing everyone's words, she bit her lip and thought, "Girl, if your parents are really possessed by evil spirits, go to Hubo Temple with your aunt to burn incense sticks, don't write to the old lady thank you."
As soon as she said this, the villagers who were originally muttering around suddenly calmed down, and their faces changed unexpectedly at the same time.
"If you dare to say this to Fairy Xie, you are not afraid that she will ask God to cause trouble for you, so don't implicate us."
Someone had quietly left the yard gate, and the rest turned around and prepared to leave. At this moment, a sharp laugh came from the yard gate, stabbing everyone's eardrums.
"Oh... I'm not a little bit! I, Aunt Xie, heard someone was caught in a strange situation and rushed over with kindness, but I didn't expect to hear such words. Oh~ I'm kind enough to treat it as a donkey, liver, lungs~heh~"
Everyone's hearts flipped.
Sure enough, I saw a 60-year-old woman wearing a black gauze skirt, heavy powder on her face and holding the powder in her hands, twisting her waist.
This person is the witch Xie.
Suddenly, the air seemed to stagnate, and everyone in the venue became embarrassed.
