Chapter 28 Why I Smell Bean Dregs From Your Head

Seeing the old lady rushing towards others, Li Si was very worried.

I'm afraid the old lady was unhappy with the man spending three pennies for free food, and wanted to go up and start a fight with him.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Fangshi.

In the past, there were often those who made clothes. When they saw that someone else's embroidered patterns were selling well, they would embroider them on their own clothes without spending a penny.

Those who were robbed of their business were furious, and those who made a fuss were beaten.

In the end, the winner will pay money and go to jail, and the loser will end up in a hospital with a bloody head. No one has made any money!

"Second brother, stop worrying about the fish and grab your mother quickly!" Li Si shouted while chasing.

Lin Tao smiled apologetically and said directly to the man: "Master, why are you still thinking about phoenix eggs? The old woman will tell you the truth. The old woman is the only one who knows how to make phoenix eggs. I just asked them all.

If you go to Fangshi, you will definitely not be able to find another one!”

The man looked embarrassed and laughed.

"Yeah, I'm late. I didn't buy anything from my aunt. I just wanted to look around to see if other stores sell it! No, I didn't find it. I was just about to leave!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

A woman greeted the man head-on: "Da Xu, ask your mother-in-law to load thirty eggs for me. Pick out the clothes, hurry up!"

How can a man continue to act when business comes to his door?

He quickly agreed and helped the woman behind the stall to select the best eggs.

Lin Tao was standing next to her, and Li Si was tugging at the corner of her clothes.

"Mom, let's go! Why are you arguing with him? You didn't let him steal it anyway, right?"

"Watch carefully here!"

After slapping Li Si's hand away, the woman buying eggs at the stall also left.

Lin Tao smiled and said: "Sir, everyone is sensible. If you want to take three cents, just buy my phoenix egg recipe. It's really unkind."

The white hair was exposed, and the man said: "Auntie, you have such good eyesight!"

Lin Tao was not polite: "That's right. You have lived longer than you as an aunt. Did you come here with your eyes closed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a seven or eight-year-old boy with shabby clothes ran over, dragging his rotten straw sandals.

"Shopkeeper Xu, please pay me the money for my wild eggs first! My mother is waiting for the money to get medicine! The medicine ran out yesterday, and today I have a bad cough. If I don't take medicine, my mother, she...

…”

Before he finished speaking, the little baby pulled at his dirty sleeves and wiped away tears.

Da Xu pointed to the box of wild eggs on the stall and said: "Niu Wazi, it's not that I don't want to give you money. These wild eggs haven't been sold yet!"

"Then, can you give me the money for raising ten chickens in my family first? Please uncle, my mother is really waiting for money to save her life!" The little boy was so anxious that he even knelt down.

The eldest mother-in-law of the Xu family came out to help the man, and after saying a few words of comfort, she poured bitter water on the little baby.

"Niu Wazi, I haven't made any money from the sale today! How about you go home and take care of your mother first? I'll give it to you after the money was sold."

The little boy didn't want any money, so he agreed with tears in his eyes and ran away in the same direction.

Lin Tao rolled her eyes when she saw it. With these two people together, they are two-faced!

He obviously just sold thirty eggs, but he kept telling lies with his eyes open.

Da Xu smiled and invited her to the side.

"Auntie, can we discuss it? You can sell me your phoenix egg-making method at any price you decide?"

In fact, Lin Tao came here before just to make money from him.

But just now the two of them bullied such a little kid, Lin Tao's heart was already sharpened.

Li Si couldn't stand any longer and helped her five steps away: "Mom, our family has finally found a way to make money. You're not going to just sell it, are you?"

"Why do you have so many things going on?" Lin Tao squinted: "Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on me? Why, your eyes grow into your mouth. If you don't open your mouth, you can't see, right? Do you want me to help you?

Take it out?"

Li Si hurriedly let go and lowered his head. Perhaps the old lady thought he talked too much and wanted to cut out his tongue.

Lin Tao went back and paid the price: "Not expensive, eight taels of silver!"

In the memory of the original owner, one thousand penny here is equivalent to one tael of silver.

Most of the rice on market stalls is old rice, and one liter costs about 20 yuan. One liter is equivalent to about one and a half kilograms.

If you want to buy new rice of that year, you can only buy it at street rice shops.

As for the price... the original owner may have never bought one in his life, so he doesn't remember it.

Only 1,000 yuan can buy nearly 75 kilograms of old rice!

Eight taels can buy 600 kilograms of rice!

She remembered the historical records of the Han Dynasty: Food cost one and a half stones per month.

This means that an ordinary soldier needs to eat one and a half stone of food a month. One stone is equal to ten buckets of rice, which is equivalent to about forty kilograms.

So, we need to consume almost two kilograms of rice every day.

If you are cooking porridge, it will make less.

There are 12 people in the family, old and young, and 600 kilograms of rice is enough for about two months.

In a market where copper plates are the main currency, eight taels of silver is really a sky-high price!

"Eight taels of silver?!" Da Xu seemed to have seen a ghost, his voice broke.

The two idiots next to me almost dropped their jaws to the floor.

"Otherwise? Is it possible that you are still dreaming of earning three pennies for free?"

The smile on Da Xu's face disappeared.

"Old lady, if you want to sell sincerely, then give me a real price! Such exorbitant asking prices are unreasonable."

"Oh? Then Shopkeeper Xu bullies a seven or eight-year-old kid, is he a real person? If the kid believes you, you can open your eyes and talk nonsense. My old lady and you are not relatives, so you have to learn how to make money.

, given to you for free?"

Da Xu's expression was wonderful.

Red and white, white and green.

Lin Tao smiled and said: "If the method of making phoenix eggs was made by you, Shopkeeper Xu, it would only cost eight taels, right? Shopkeeper Xu is a transparent person, and he naturally understands that this method can make money in the long run. Eight taels of silver,

Not a loss."

"If you miss the opportunity to deliver it to your door, you may never see it again! After all, you are not the only one selling eggs in this market!"

"Five taels!"

Mrs. Xu shouted at the top of her lungs: "Master, you are crazy! We can't even make five taels from our business in a month!"

"How can you, a woman with long hair and short knowledge, understand this? Go away! It's not your turn to interrupt here!"

The stronger he behaves, the more confident Lin Tao is.

"Eight taels! A penny is a lot!"

Lin Tao didn't wait for a second, turned and left with a smile.

Behind him, Li Si said: "Mom, you are too harsh. All the vendors in this market earn are copper plates. Few of them can afford silver."

"You know nothing!" Lin Tao was not angry, so she gave Li Si a slap on the back with the pot in her hand.

The bones, which had no meat on their own, made a dull sound when the iron pot was touched.

Li Si shrugged and scratched his back, grinning in pain and said: "I don't understand! If you really want to sell money, you should pay him the five taels. Otherwise, you can just sell him five taels when you go back now."

It’s already quite a lot!”

"Why do I smell like bean dregs from inside your head?"

result……

Li Er looked curious, shrugged his nose like a dog, and leaned towards Li Si's head.

From time to time, he would say: "No! How can it smell like bean dregs?"

"Fourth brother, since when did you secretly eat beans and rice?"
