Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 395: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man ()

When the shopkeeper heard it was bacon, he was immediately filled with joy, "Look, look, I'll go with you."

As long as it's meat, he can sell it here, no matter whether it's cured or fresh.

The shopkeeper was holding a smoked black rabbit, his face full of surprise.

He was able to become the shopkeeper and was trusted and valued by his boss for so many years. Naturally, he must have a pair of sharp eyes.

He knew exactly which prey was freshly caught and which had been kept at home for two days.

He had received this kind of bacon before, but very rarely.

The taste is really good.

So he nodded towards Shuangshuang and said, "Madam Qi, how much do you want per pound?"

Huanyan held up a finger and said, "One hundred and fifty coins."

"What! So expensive? We only charge 40 coins per pound for fresh wild boar."

"Shopkeeper, as you know, fresh ones usually sell for 40 wen per pound. Ours has to go through many processes, so do we have to add some processing fees?

We have been your regular customers for many years, and I'm telling you the truth.

After the meat is cured, the weight will be much higher. In fact, this extra money does not even include the labor cost, the main reason is the loss of the curing."

The boss lowered his head and calculated that the meat was 150 wen per pound, which was actually quite cheap for him.

With this pound of meat and some other seasonings, he can make at least three dishes, and he can sell each dish for at least three hundred coins.

After all, people who come here to eat don’t care about money, they only care about whether the food tastes good.

So he didn't plan to bargain, "Okay! Madam Qi, I'll take your price. But if you have good things in the future, don't forget our shop."

"Look at what you said, boss. When I have something good, I always think of you first.

Oh, and here are a hundred or so eggs. Do you think the store will take them?"

"Take them, two cents each, leave them there."

The brothers carried the baskets into the back kitchen, and the waiter helped to weigh them.

The shopkeeper also started chatting with Shuangshuang.

"Madam Qi, where did you get so many eggs?"

"Well, I won't hide it from you. It's because we have a lot of children at home, so we raised a few more chickens. If they lay a few more eggs, it's also an income, right?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he felt very disappointed. Usually, their boss also had a farm where he raised the chickens and ducks sent to him.

But since the old man in the family passed away last year, the landlord's family has divided up the property.

Because he was born out of wedlock and his aunt was no longer around, and his father and mother didn't love him, his employer gave him this restaurant.

As for Zhuangzi, he didn't give him a single one. The livestock used in the restaurant every day had to be bought from other masters, who were the brothers of the boss.

But unexpectedly, those masters raised the prices arbitrarily.

The boss did the math and realized that if they really stuck to that price, the profits from the store would almost entirely go to the other masters.

Of course the boss was unwilling to do so, so he sent people to the farmers to collect them. However, most families only raised a few or a dozen at most.

After all, some families don’t even have enough food to eat themselves, so how can they raise so many livestock?

Therefore, when the shopkeeper heard Shuangshuang say that they raised a lot of chickens, he became interested. Perhaps he could cooperate with this Madam Qi, and have her family help raise more chickens, and then his restaurant would help collect the chickens.

Thinking of this, the smile on the shopkeeper's face became more sincere.

"Madam Qi, can you please excuse me for a moment?"

They both nodded, and followed the shopkeeper to the private room upstairs with their brothers and sisters.

"I wonder what the shopkeeper wants to talk to me about?"

"Well, Madam Qi said you have a lot of chickens. How many are there? Are there over a hundred?"

"Yes, I do, but I don't know how much you can offer."

"I'll charge you two cents less than the market price. Is that okay with you?"

"Boss, this is not very kind of you. How can it be less?"

"Madam Qi, let's be frank and not speak in secret.

If you're short of two cents, I'll buy all the goods you have, saving you the trouble of selling them one by one at the market. Isn't that a good thing for everyone?"

"Shopkeeper, how about we both make a concession? It's one cent less than the market price.

How much do you want this time? I'll send it to you in a few days."

The shopkeeper lowered his head and thought for a while before nodding, "Okay, then I'll give you one cent less. Chicken in the market is 19 cents per pound, so I'll give you cents.

I need 30 chickens urgently the day after tomorrow. Can you send me chickens first? The rest can be sent later."

After some calculations, they decided they had no choice but to travel overnight. But if it meant getting rid of the chickens at home, I'm sure his mother would be willing to travel overnight.

"can!"

The shopkeeper directly gave Shuangshuang a deposit of one string of coins.

"Then please help me, Madam Qi, to serve more snacks."

At this time, the number from the kitchen also came out: 100 eggs and 115 kilograms of various bacon.

With so many copper coins, 7 Shuangshuang was helpless. It would be better to carry back more than 100 kilograms of food than to carry back more than 100 kilograms of copper coins.

So he asked the shopkeeper directly, "Shopkeeper, can you please exchange some silver ingots for me?"

The shopkeeper looked at Shuangshuang and thought it was worthy of being a restaurant in the county.

"Okay, but I only have ten of each."

"Okay, boss, please exchange it for ten taels of silver ingots, and the rest in copper coins. Anyway, the children need to buy some oil, salt, firewood and rice later."

"can."

The shopkeeper saw that it was really hard to take so much, so he gave them ten silver ingots of one ounce each, and the rest they could only take copper coins.

After everyone left, the shopkeeper ordered someone to hang up a sign saying fresh bacon was 358 wen per plate.

Then he stroked his chin and thought for a long time, thinking that he should go to his boss's place tonight.

The boss has been worried about buying a farm recently, and wrinkles have appeared on his face.

In his opinion, it would be better to cooperate with farmers and let them raise and harvest their own crops.

There is no need to worry about the loss of sick livestock, nor is there any need to be overpriced by others because you are in a hurry to buy the farm.

Shuangshuang didn't have much time to hang around because he had to send his brothers back early to catch the chickens.

He went straight to the grain shop and bought two dan of old rice, which cost 700 wen per dan, which cost him wen.

Dacai saw some millet and asked, "Boss, would you like to buy some snacks?"

"Sell, ten cents a pound."

Although it was a bit expensive, I still bought 20 kilograms.

This was something their grandmother specifically requested because there was a pregnant woman at home, and she wanted to make millet porridge for her, which was more nutritious than stale rice.

Please ask the shopkeeper to use sacks to pack two stone of rice into three sacks, one for big fortune, one for second fortune, and one for third fortune. Each person will carry one bag and put the 20 kilograms of millet in the backpack of wealth.

Shuangshuang and Bonnie carried the other three empty backpacks.
