Chapter 6： Finally saw the money

Chapter 6 Finally saw the money

Yang Datou entered the town and began to look around for stalls. He pulled Jiang Ning from the street to the end of the street, and then from the end of the street to the street, walking back and forth two or three times.

Jiang Ning’s face turned dark, “What are you doing?”

Yang Datou frowned, "Mom, today is not a big market, there are no people setting up stalls in the town, how about we go to the alley?"

Not during the big market, everyone would just walk around the streets to buy things.

Jiang Ning was speechless and dragged Yang Datou towards a grocery store. When she was approaching the door, she asked Yang Datou to wait outside while she went in.

“Shopkeeper, do you sell melon seeds?”

The shopkeeper didn't look down on Jiang Ning when he saw that Jiang Ning was dressed in rags, but nodded kindly, "What kind of melon seeds do you want to buy? I have **** melon seeds from the north, and small ones from the south. Thin melon seeds, the former is not as fragrant as the latter, but its meat is thicker. Although the latter has no meat, it really doesn’t taste good! Five cents per pound, do you want it?”

As he said that, the shopkeeper also showed the melon seeds to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning came closer and smelled it, frowned slightly, took out a few melon seeds from his arms and handed them to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, do you want to try these melon seeds?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Jiang Ning suspiciously, and Jiang Ning cracked two melon seeds in front of him.

The shopkeeper then tasted a few, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Guest sir, where did you buy this? How much does it cost per pound?"

There are only a few shops selling melon seeds in the town. Could it be that they secretly purchased them without telling him? Which ones suffered a thousand cuts!

The shopkeeper was cursing in his heart while he warmly welcomed Jiang Ning into the shop. It seemed that he was trying to make a conversation.

Jiang Ning followed the other party's wishes and went in. Yang Datou, who was thick outside, subconsciously wanted to catch up. When he stepped on the steps, he found that his tattered straw sandals with exposed toes were incompatible with the shop. He immediately retracted his feet timidly and continued. Waiting uneasily outside.

Jiang Ning didn't beat around the bush with the shopkeeper. As soon as he entered the shop, he whispered: "Shopkeeper, to be honest, the melon seeds I just gave you to taste were made by the little lady herself and were not bought from outside. If you think this thing can make money, little wife I'll sell it to you. If you think you can't make money, then the little woman can go to other shops and won't delay the shopkeeper's business. "

The shopkeeper was shocked, "Sir, are you telling the truth? Did you really do it yourself?"

Jiang Ning nodded affirmatively.

The shopkeeper was deep in thought. Despite his expressionless face, he was actually regretting it. He would not have told the other party the price of the melon seeds if he had known it. How much should he pay now?

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. The shopkeeper hesitated and said, "Sir, how many goods do you have there?"

Jiang Ning thought for a while and said hesitantly: "I brought out only a dozen kilograms this time. If the shopkeeper really wants it, I can sell it all to you. If it sells well, I will send more next time."

“Then what’s the price?” the shopkeeper frowned.

Most people would have retreated long ago when they saw this expression, but Jiang Ning acted as if he hadn't noticed and said without changing his expression: "It's four cents per catty. We will deliver it to your door personally. As for how much the shopkeeper sells it, we don't care."

"Four Wen is too expensive! Three Wen, three Wen, I'll cover all of it!" A flash of light flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, and he gritted his teeth, looking as if he had been cut into pieces.

Jiang Ning shook his head, "Four coins cannot be less. If the shopkeeper thinks it's valuable, I'll ask elsewhere."

She turned around to leave, but the shopkeeper immediately stopped her.

Yang Datou rushed in when he heard the commotion, "Don't bully my mother!"

Shopkeeper: “.”

Jiang Ning said: "Shopkeeper, you've seen it too. My son can't wait any longer. Can he make four cents? Just one word!" The shopkeeper wanted to grind it again, but Yang Datou was so anxious that he wanted to call someone.

The shopkeeper was shocked by him and was speechless, "I'm convinced! Sir, you are so awesome! The son you raised is even better! Four coins is four coins, let's hand over the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other!"

Jiang Ning tugged on the stunned Yang Datou and motioned for him to help the shopkeeper. She couldn't understand the scales of this era at all, but she could still weigh the approximate weight. In the end, the scale came out to be eighteen kilograms and four taels. Seventy-four articles.

Before leaving, Jiang Ning bought two clay pots from the shopkeeper. They almost sold them half and gave them away, and only charged her four cents.

Yang Datou covered the copper plate in his arms and was so excited that he turned around and hit his left foot with his right foot.

After leaving the grocery store, he tugged on Jiang Ning's sleeve tightly, "Aniang! Are they really sold?"

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Otherwise the copper in your arms is fake! Stop talking nonsense and buy some grain and salt first."

Yang Datou paused, "That grocery store just had it."

“Change another room!” Jiang Ning didn’t even bother to say too much to his solid-eyed son.

The two discussed it. Yang Datou went to the grain store to buy grain, and Jiang Ning went to buy salt.

When we arrived at another larger grocery store, the clerk was obviously looking down on others and ignored Jiang Ning at all.

Jiang Ning bypassed him and went to the counter, and asked the shopkeeper who was doing the accounting: "Shopkeeper, do you want to change the salt here?"

The shopkeeper’s fingers on the abacus paused, and he looked up at Jiang Ning, “Sir, do you have fine salt? Where did it come from?”

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "I don't have fine salt, just a can. It was because I accidentally helped a passing merchant and was rewarded. Otherwise, how could poor people like us afford such expensive things? No, I As soon as I got it, I came over and exchanged it!”

There were not more than a dozen merchants passing through Dashan Town but only two or three in a day. The shopkeeper did not comment on Jiang Ning's statement.

“Let’s take a look at things first!”

Jiang Ning knew there was something going on as soon as he heard this, and quickly carefully took out a can of fine salt from his backpack.

The salt processed and produced now is far cleaner than the fine salt of this dynasty. It has no impurities at all. It is so perfect that the shopkeeper was amazed. This was the first time he had seen such high-quality salt. He immediately didn’t want to return it to Jiang Ning. The tone of his voice He immediately became warm and asked, "What do you want to change, sir?"

Jiang Ning was embarrassed, "The nobleman only told the little lady that they would sell this jar of salt to the capital for 300 fen. After all, our place is a small place and not as good as the capital, so I will exchange it for 250 fen." Is the stuff okay?”

The shopkeeper frowned and considered the price, hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Jiang Ning's heart sank. Could it be that she had lowered the price? But the words had been spoken, and it was hard to change them now, so she bought three kilograms of coarse salt in the grocery store, worth sixty cents, and four round dustpans with a diameter of more than one meter, worth twenty cents. Wen, finally chose a large-diameter earthenware pot worth fifty Wen to replace the large iron pot, and replaced all the rest with caramel.

As soon as she left the shop, the clerk came to the shopkeeper and whispered: "Shopkeeper, how can a poor woman come up with such a good thing? Is there something wrong with the way it came from?"

According to what he said, he should just knock the things off, even if she didn't dare to resist.
