Chapter 28 The Smart Brain of an Honest Man

Gu Chunzhu first went to the rice grain shop, and when he bought salt, Gu Chunzhu couldn't help but be speechless.

The price of salt is about ten cents a catty, which is about the same as pork. I bought two catties of salt, and I bought half a catty of white sugar and half a catty of brown sugar. The price of red and white sugar is eight cents a catty. Wen Qian, the boss sent a few red dates.

Carrying a few bags of soup and salt wrapped in oil paper, Gu Chunzhu went to the meat stall to buy fat. Ready-made lard is expensive, but the lard that is boiled after buying flower oil is the same. Go to the meat stall.

The meat sellers are a couple, the man has a loud voice and a big belly and a stubble face, and the woman looks delicate and many people are also thin, but the clothes of the meat-selling couple for many years are greasy, and their clothes You can have a small pot of oil when you rinse it.

Elder sister, buy meat. The fat ones are still thin. The thin ones are ten cents a pound, and the fat ones are twelve cents a pound. The man was busy chopping pork bones with a machete, and the woman began to greet Gu Chunzhu He also turned over the meat on the chopping board to show her.

Most of the people in the town have no money. If they have money to buy meat, they want to eat fat. Therefore, fat meat is more expensive than lean meat, which is just the opposite of modern times. Gu Chunzhu has a measure in his heart.

I want to buy some flower oil, what's the price? She scanned the meat stall and didn't see any flower oil, and she was a little disappointed. The flower oil is the oil on the pig's stomach, and boiled lard is the most oily.

Yes, yes, it's not that many people eat rapeseed oil. There are not many people who buy flower oil. I put them all away. I'm going to cook lard for the Chinese New Year. Big sister, you look very thick! The butcher's wife said A wooden box was taken out, which contained strips of white flower oil.

What's the price? Gu Chunzhu squatted down and picked it up. The oil was really thick.

Twenty pennies a pound. The butcher's wife said with a smile.

Gu Chunzhu let go of his hand, shook his head and said, Lean meat is ten cents a pound, and fat meat is only twelve cents a pound. This flower oil is too expensive even if it costs twenty cents more. Fifteen cents.

Eighteen words.

sixteen.

She glanced at the face of the butcher's wife, and seeing that she was still hesitating, she made a move to leave, and her sleeve was pulled back.

The butcher's wife said with a painful face: Sixteen is sixteen, you should buy more.

Then I want five catties, the big bone stick will give me, and the pile of sewage. Gu Chunzhu had long been optimistic about what he wanted. Hearing from the butcher's wife, flower oil was not easy to sell, so she bought five catties. Almost rounded the bag in that wooden box.

She's a big client and it's not too much to add.

The big bone stick also costs two cents a piece, and the pile that goes into the water costs almost five cents. Big sister, you are too shrewd, I'll give it to you! The butcher's wife quickly dressed her with hemp rope. Five pounds of flower oil.

He was about to hand it to Gu Chunzhu and saw that she had oil paper bags in her hands and had nowhere to put them.

Gu Chunzhu took out a penny and gave it to her, I'll settle the account first, and I'll go get the basket.

Don't worry, you can bring the back basket first. The butcher's wife said politely, not afraid that Gu Chunzhu would run away, she still had to come back to get the meat anyway.

Well, okay.

Gu Chunzhu didn't waste time here, he turned his head and went to Uncle Zheng to get back his broken pockets and buckets. From a distance, there was someone doing business at her booth, and there were a lot of people around.

How is this going? Gu Chunzhu's fists clenched, this is the stall she spent fifteen cents on for a month, and her things are still there when someone says they take it up.

Her pace quickened, and when she pushed aside the crowd to reason, what she saw was Su Wangqin's wheat-colored face and his row of white teeth.

She was stunned when she saw the bucket of river prawns in Su Wangqin's hand, and stammered, Wang, Brother Wang, where did you come from? Did you go fishing?

Wait a minute, say hello to the business. Su Wangqin pulled Gu Chunzhu over, one person caught the river prawns and the other collected the money, very busy.

A few were Gu Chunzhu's old businesses, and couldn't help joking: Little sister-in-law, why did you bring a man with you today? It seems that the shrimp business has grown.

The relationship between the young couple is really good, and the husband and wife cooperate when selling a river shrimp.

You shrimps are very fresh, even if you don't have a lot of meat to stir-fry a dish, it's still fresh!

After being busy for a while, the guests dispersed. Gu Chunzhu had more than thirty pennies with the money in his hand, and he sold almost six bowls of shrimp, more than half a bucket.

Even if Su Wangqin went fishing in the morning, he couldn't catch so many!

She touched Su Wangqin's arm, Brother Wang, tell me if you have time now. Where did you get the shrimp?

It's collected. Su Wangqin sorted out the remaining river shrimp in the bucket, and estimated that he could sell three more bowls, while explaining to Gu Chunzhu, I went to the river today to watch them fishing for shrimp, and all they caught was to eat by themselves. Yes, I thought you would sell a bowl for five cents and ask them to buy a bowl for three cents.

Brother Wang, you are so smart. Gu Chunzhu's sandalwood mouth opened slightly, why didn't she think of this method!

It costs a penny a day to set up a stall in the town, and many people are reluctant to come. If you buy and sell it like this, you can earn two penny for a bowl of river prawns, and you don’t have to work hard to fish!

Su Wangqin smiled honestly, seeing Gu Chunzhu's smile, he was happier than selling money.

Gu Chunzhu held a heavy handful of copper plates in his hand and asked Uncle Zheng to ask for a hemp rope to string the copper plates one by one, muttering, You don't have to be afraid of not being able to sell it if you collect so much, and you're very courageous.

It won't sell

, you can send it to the county seat to Chef Zhang, either to accept it or to work harder. Su Wangqin responded.

Oh yeah, why didn't you think of that.

Gu Chunzhu strung the copper plate and glanced at Su Wangqin. He had a resolute face, big eyes, long eyelashes, thin lips, a nose that was well-shaped, and beautiful facial features. The combination was quite ordinary. .

Such a person's mind can turn even more than himself.

Selling river prawns, fresh river prawns! Su Wangqin shouted in a low and pleasant voice, and another guest gathered around. Gu Chunzhu only remembered what he was doing when he saw the meat in the guest's basket.

She knocked herself on the head and hurriedly moved the crate. Before leaving, she greeted Su Wangqin and hurried over to the meat stall.

The butcher's wife was relieved when she saw Gu Chunzhu's tense face, pointed at the butcher and said, I'll just say this eldest sister will come again. We must be sincere when doing business. If we promise this eldest sister, we can't sell it to others.

Thank you for keeping the meat for me. I forgot about the good business of selling river prawns at the stall over there. I'll bring you some to try later. Gu Chunzhu was also apologetic.

She stretched out her hand and handed over a penny. The butcher's wife came back with twenty wen. Hearing her politeness, she also bent her brows, What a shame! Her hand is also quick to help Gu Chun with the bamboo oil. Not a lot.
