"Xiaodong, are you buying something or robbing?" Xiao Han obviously saw the man jump a little, suppressed a smile and scolded Xiaodong, while he said to the man selling meat in a friendly manner: "Fellow, don't be afraid... Ahem, how do you sell your meat?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously..." Xiao Han thought he was sincere enough, but the pork seller was so frightened that he trembled all over again and said without even daring to raise his head: "This meat is twelve cents... no, ten cents." A pound!”
"Am I so scary?" Xiao Han touched his face depressedly. Why did this man look at him more scared than Xiaodong next to him? Could it be that he was trying to steal his things?
"Forget it, it's not easy for you in the cold weather. Just calculate it at twelve cents and I'll cover it all! Do you have any more at home? As long as they are fresh, I will take them all!" After thinking to no avail, Xiao Han I walked up and poked the meat skin with my finger. It was very clean and fresh! Just wrap it all up without even thinking about it.
As for the price, the uncle is now worth a million dollars, so naturally he will not take advantage of these hawkers who have to support their families, so he will calculate it according to the original price!
As a result, the man was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Sir, do you want all of this? Or is it the price of twelve cents?" The man was so stupid that he even forgot about his fear. As if he couldn't believe it, he asked again carefully!
Xiao Han was a little impatient. This hawker was too discerning. How much does a pig weigh? Why does it seem like the uncle can't afford it?
He waved his big hand towards the meat stall and said, "I'll take it all! If you still have it at home, I'll take it! If you send it to Xiaojiazhuang in Sanyuan County, someone will pay the bill for you, and they won't let you run away in vain, and the shipping fee will be too high." Counting it to you, there won’t be a big man missing! Xiaodong, give me the money!”
"Okay!" Xiaodong, who was pulling the pig's ears next to him, heard the Marquis calling him and quickly agreed loudly. He came over to watch the man weigh the meat. In fact, there was a little secret here. He didn't know how to weigh meat at all... Look It's just a fool's errand!
After finishing the pork, Xiao Han led Xue Pan and continued walking forward. When they were far away, they could still hear the vendors behind shouting thanks.
Buying pork is not just a whim of Xiao Han. Xiaojiazhuang now consumes a lot of pork! In addition, there are really not too many pigs at this time. As a result, as now, if you want to eat pork, you have to come to Chang'an to buy it. Everyone in Sanyuan County has been scourge by Xiaojiazhuangzi.
Xiao Han didn't believe it at first. In his impression, the most indispensable thing in the countryside was pigs! But he ignored one thing. This was the Tang Dynasty, more than a thousand years ago. At this time, people didn't have enough to eat. How could there be anything to feed the pigs? You must know that pigs, cattle and sheep are different. Cows and sheep only need to eat grass, but pigs need to eat grain!
No matter when, shopping always makes people feel satisfied. After all, buying is also a kind of gain, especially when you have extra money!
Walking all the way from the beginning to this point, the cart behind Xiao Han had already been piled full of things. He didn’t encounter anything too unusual. They were all vegetables, fish and the like. Although they were not very valuable, they were better than There are many types, and basically all the necessary dishes for the Chinese New Year are collected.
Moreover, most of these are just samples, and there will be many that will not be loaded into the truck later. Xiaodong and the others have made an agreement with the vendors to deliver them directly to Xiaojiazhuangzi tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and someone will pay for the freight together with them.
People in the West Market finally saw today that there are still people in this world who buy things like this!
The price is never mentioned, as long as you are optimistic about it, buy it immediately without saying a word! And the quantity is extremely large. If you do this kind of business, you will make more than if you have to suffer in the cold here for several days! So no matter where Xiao Han goes, someone will respectfully deliver their best goods, as if waiting for Xiao Han's acceptance.
When the fools and others saw this scene, they were initially afraid that someone would take the opportunity to raise the price to trick their prince. They all pricked up their ears and clenched their fists, preparing to treat someone to a meat bun immediately when they heard someone arbitrarily quote a price!
But I didn't expect that along the way, I saw dozens or hundreds of vendors, and not one of them quoted random prices. Every price was very real! Not only that, they also lined up consciously, and the order was as good as someone organized!
Those whose goods were selected were all smiles, while those whose goods were not selected were disappointed, but none of them persisted and could only complain that their goods were not in the eyes of noble people.
The West Market was so big that I couldn’t finish it until my feet hurt. Xue Pan also had several cloth tigers and small clay sculptures in her arms. Each one was so cute that she couldn’t put it down.
Thinking of the pile of spices he had eaten at lunch, Xiao Han suddenly realized that he had not found a spice seller from the beginning until now. He was going to buy some star anise, nutmeg and the like to stew the meat.
He called Xiaodong who was busy chewing radishes behind him. Before Xiao Han could ask, Xiaodong opened his mouth and burped, and a strange smell rushed straight into his nose, almost knocking Xiao Han's head!
"Ugh...shut up and turn away!"
"Yes..." Xiaodong reluctantly turned his face to the side and asked angrily: "Master Marquis, you haven't said why you called me."
Xiao Han fanned wildly with his hands, and accidentally slapped Xue Pan where he was, and received a few more blows on his waist...
"Hiss...what did I want to ask? By the way! Why don't you see any spice sellers here?" The burning feeling in his waist was so good that Xiao Han almost forgot what he wanted to ask!
"Spice?" Xiaodong turned around fiercely, but was quickly kicked back.
"My Lord Marquis, you have to go to the medicine store to buy spices! Who here would be willing to cook with spices!" Xiaodong rubbed his butt and replied aggrievedly.
"Pharmacy?" Xiao Han scratched his head. He almost forgot that these things were indeed used as medicinal materials at the beginning.
Driving Xiaodong towards the drug store, the shopkeeper who was sitting in the hall thought that he was in an emergency when he saw so many people gathered around him. He was about to send his waiter to call the master, but unexpectedly the young man in front of him had already walked over.
The drug store in Tang Dynasty was still a little different from the traditional Chinese medicine stores that Xiao Han had seen. The densely packed wooden drawers on the wall were filled with the names of medicinal materials. Looking at them at a glance made people feel dizzy.
"Shopkeeper, please bring me ten catties of star anise, ten catties of fragrant leaves, ten catties of nutmeg..."
"Ah?" The shopkeeper was a little confused. Who is this young man? Aren’t medicinal materials always weighed by how much they cost? Why do you start talking about it in terms of pounds? Is this here to purchase goods?
"May I ask, sir, if you have a recipe?" The shopkeeper was unsure of Xiao Han's purpose, so he could only ask cautiously.
"What prescription do you want? Our Marquis has another use! You put it on the scale quickly, we are in a hurry!" The idiot slapped the table and told the shopkeeper to work quickly. You, a quack, dare to talk about prescriptions in front of the Marquis? Besides, do you understand such a profound thing as our Marquis taking medicinal materials to cook?
"But, we don't have that many goods here..." The shopkeeper was about to cry. This person didn't give prescriptions, so he couldn't give medicine, but everyone said that they were from the Hou Mansion. He couldn't afford to offend his medicine store, so he could only bow to him repeatedly, for fear that these people would blow up the store in anger.
"It's not that much, you can get whatever you want. You can't miss the money!" Xiao Han and Xue Pan fiddled with the small copper scales on the counter to weigh medicinal materials and said without looking back.
"Okay, okay!" The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, and then asked people to go to the back hall to take out all the things Xiao Han wanted and show them to Xiao Han one by one.
There were a lot of bags, but they didn’t add up to much, let alone ten kilograms, and some couldn’t even get a kilogram together. This condiment, which was extremely common in later generations, was extremely rare at this time! Moreover, there is no domestic production at all. Only caravans traveling to the Western Regions can bring some over. The price is no exaggeration compared to gold!
When it was time to check out, Xiao Han realized that he didn't spend much money on anything he bought all afternoon, but he didn't expect to spend hundreds of dollars on these few kilograms of spices!
