Chapter 14 - That's a disease that can be cured
Chapter 14 That’s a disease, it needs to be cured
"I'll take it, of course I'll take it." Manager Wang's eyes lit up after hearing what Nanzhi said.
In fact, our restaurant used to have hunters who supplied game for a long time, but since two months ago, those hunters have only sent five hares and three pheasants, and there has been no news since half a month ago.
Mr. Xu in the town likes wild game, but right now the wild game is priceless. Not many people can catch game in the surrounding mountains. If Mrs. Shen really has something, she can make a fortune. .
"I wonder what you want to sell this time?" Manager Wang smiled warmly, looking at Nanzhi as if he were seeing white money.
Nanzhi reached out and slipped the wild rabbit out of the basket on the side.
The rabbit's ears hurt from being pulled, and it kept thrashing its legs, which made Manager Wang feel satisfied.
"I wonder how much a pound of this hare is now."
"Two hundred and ten articles."
The person who said it didn't think there was any problem, but the person who listened was almost stupid.
Nanzhi suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. He turned around and found that Aunt Liu and the others also had shocked faces, so he was sure that he had heard correctly.
Although her straw mushrooms sold for a "sky-high" price of sixty cents per catty last time, she actually had some impressions about the price of game. Her original husband was an Orion, and a pound of hare was only fifty cents. , even after three years and the economy is not going well, she already feels very good if she can sell it for 150 cents per catty.
After all, even if there is a drought, there are so many mountains in this land, and there will always be wild animals on the mountains. Now even hares can be sold for two hundred and ten cents a pound, which makes her feel unreal.
"Ms. Shen, do you think it's appropriate?" Steward Wang reminded him softly, and then stood up straight again after watching a few people come to their senses.
"Sell."
Seeing Nanzhi nod, Master Zhang asked his apprentices to move the two sacks of chestnuts over for inspection, while he took the struggling rabbit from Nanzhi's hand.
Feeling the rabbit's activity, Master Zhang was also curious. How was this rabbit caught without any blood or injuries?
Could it be that Mrs. Shen has some extraordinary ability?
But he didn't ask, he just took the rabbit to weigh it, and finally the rabbit was weighed at six pounds and six taels.
After the inspection, the two sacks of chestnuts were weighed one by one. One bag was 153 kilograms and the other was 184 kilograms.
In the end, Nanzhi got 2,151 cash, and Aunt Liu got 920 cash.
Looking at the two slings of copper coins strung together, Nanzhi felt as if he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.
A few days ago she was on the verge of starving to death, but now she has a "huge sum of money".
Aunt Liu felt the heavy copper coins in her hands and was so happy that she couldn't see them anymore. With these more than 900 coins and the six taels of silver she brought, she could buy a lot of food.
Aunt Liu and Shen Dazhu gave birth to a daughter and three sons. The eldest daughter Shen Jinlan got married early. The eldest son Shen Xing and Wan Shi already have a son and a daughter. The second son Shen Yuan and Xiao Liu Shi now only have one son. The youngest son, Shen Yuntian, has just turned 18 and has not yet said goodbye to each other. Together, there are ten people in the family.
In order to buy more food, she only had three taels of silver left at home for emergencies. She had never expected that these chestnuts could be sold for so much money.
After waving goodbye to Manager Wang, the group drove the donkey cart to the grain store again.
The round-faced waiter scratched his head and asked, "Boss, is this wild rabbit so expensive now?"
Manager Wang just glanced at him and said, "You will go to Xu's house later and deliver a letter saying that we have game in Hongfu Building today."
"Eh."
The waiter listened and left the restaurant.
Nanzhi went to the same grain store where he bought grain last time. When he arrived at the door, he found that the shopkeeper had an argument with someone and seemed to be unable to explain himself. His face turned red.
"You! You are so disgraceful!" Shopkeeper Wan was furious and his body was trembling.
He was an upright man and had never engaged in cheating or deception, yet he encountered such a scoundrel who accused him of mixing mud into the black rice he sold!
"You're a black-hearted profiteer!" The rogue also looked indifferent, shouting as he was about to lie down on the ground, "Come and take a look, everyone! The shopkeeper of Wanyong Grain Shop is a black-hearted man! The price he sells is higher than other grain stores.
Not only is the shop expensive, but they also mix sand and mud into the black noodles!”
Gradually, the surrounding area was filled with people watching the excitement. The only entertainment program in this world nowadays is probably watching people argue.
"No way, we know very well what kind of person Manager Wan is. He doesn't look like someone who can do that kind of thing."
An aunt said.
She lives in the next street, and most of the food her family eats comes from the Wanyong Grain Store. After all these years of eating, she has never eaten any pebbles.
"That was before! This person will always change." The rogue said and did not lie down on the ground anymore. He opened the grain bag and was about to show it to the onlookers, "You guys, take a look for yourselves, what's inside this black face"
Is your son mixed with pebbles? I'm sorry for my old lady. Even eating a pancake will break her teeth when she gets old."
Seeing the rogue covering his face and pretending to cry, Shopkeeper Wan only hated himself for being weak, otherwise he would have wanted to go up and beat him.
"Mommy, what is that uncle doing?" The dog tugged at Nanzhi's sleeves, a little curious as to why the uncle was crying and barking.
"Good boy, uncle, he is sick and needs treatment." Nanzhi touched the dog's head and felt that the washed hair was softer to the touch, without the prickly look before.
"What's the disease?" the dog asked.
The three men standing next to the two of them were also stunned. Isn't this just a rogue? Why is it related to the disease?
Even their wife, Aunt Liu, looked at Nanzhi, waiting for her to explain.
"Oh, this is just crazy." Nanzhi didn't lower his voice deliberately when he spoke. As soon as the words came out, the rogue forgot his lines.
After reacting, he stared fiercely at the speaker, and was slightly stunned when he saw Nanzhi.
The little woman looked somewhat pretty, but a little thinner.
Hu San was thinking in his heart, but he also remembered his purpose today.
"Who do you think is crazy?" Hu San lost his vigor when speaking, but he still asked casually when he was paid to do things.
"I will naturally talk to whoever talks to him." Nanzhi was not afraid of him. Anyway, the three men of the Shen family were here today, and Aunt Liu would not ignore him.
"You!" Hu San choked up suddenly. Why did this little woman speak so choked up?
"You said you bought the black noodles at Wanyong Grain Shop." Nanzhi raised her chin and pointed in the direction of the grain shop, "Then let me ask you, when did you buy it, how much did you buy, and what price did you pay for it?"
"I bought it the day before yesterday. I bought five kilograms of black noodles for five cents per kilogram."
Nanzhi smiled again and said, "What a coincidence, I came here the day before yesterday to buy grain, and also bought black noodles, which cost five cents."
Hu San raised his eyebrows proudly. He had inquired about the prices at Wanyong Grain Store beforehand.
"But, the black noodles I bought didn't have any sand or gravel in them."
"Are you not invited by Shopkeeper Wan to excuse me?" Hu San asked, looking at Nanzhi. He had never seen this little woman before.
"I'm here to buy food, but I'm curious. You said you came to Wanyong Food Store to buy black noodles the day before yesterday. Let me ask you another question. How much money did you give to buy food?"
"Of course it's twenty-five cents." Hu San said. He was not a fool. He couldn't even do arithmetic.
"That's wrong. You bought grain. Twenty-five cents is the price of grain. This grain cloth bag is worth two cents."
Hu San was speechless for a moment. He didn't buy grain for cooking on weekdays. How did he know that he still needed to pay for the grain bag?
But looking at the looks of the people around him, he could only answer bravely, "That's because I forgot. I gave him twenty-seven cents."
After hearing his words, the eyes of the people around him also changed, causing Hu San to ask, what is going on?
"Look, you've obviously never bought food here." Nanzhi spread his hands and said.
