Su Qingluan sneered in her heart: As expected, this kind of "roadside stall" fortune-telling stall is simply a scam. It doesn't even have any technical content in cheating. It didn't take more than three sentences to start asking for money.
This kind of stall means that if you get a bad lottery, you will "spend money to avoid disaster". If you get a good lottery, like her, you will use "Although this lottery is good, you must go through some experience." It’s rough, otherwise it’s blah blah” and the like.
All in all, the idea is: if you want money, do whatever you can to get it.
Of course, liars also have certain discernment in this situation. For example, Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang came together today. Su Qingluan deliberately dressed in a more "simple" way - the dress she wore was often used for rough work, and the sleeves and belt had traces of fraying.
As for Liu Yunniang, under Su Qingluan's instruction, she wore an invitation dress with very good quality.
This gauze skirt is lake green. Although it is made into a style with narrow sleeves and waist according to Liu Yunniang's active temperament, it still gives her a dash of chivalrous demeanor.
Sure enough, when the "Tiekou Zhiduan" asked for a price, Liu Yunniang directly asked for two taels of silver, while Su Qingluan only wanted a bunch of money.
In this area, "Yi Chuan" and "Yi Gui" are both units of measurement for copper coins. "Yi Chuan" money is a thousand copper coins, which can be exchanged for one tael of silver, while "Yi Chuan" is much less than Yi Guan, with only One hundred pennies.
However, one hundred cents is a considerable expense for an ordinary family. After all, many part-time workers only earn about three strings of money a month.
But when the two people in front of him asked why their prices were different, this "straightforward" person had a ready-made reason——
"This tall little lady only drew the top lot. If she wants to change her fortune, it will certainly take more effort, and the fees will naturally be higher. But this petite lady only drew the top lot. She just wants to be perfect. Naturally It takes a lot less effort.”
Su Qingluan thought to herself that this man was pretty good at talking, and nodded calmly: "Will this gentleman come with us to get the hexagram information?"
The other party was stunned, and Su Qingluan sighed: "Such a large amount of money is not a small amount for us. We really don't have so much to carry with us."
Liu Yunniang also nodded: "Our two families live very close to each other, and we are famous here. Are you afraid that we two little girls will deceive you?"
The fortune teller looked at the two young ladies in front of him. One was thin and tall, but looked like a firewood stick, and would fall over when the wind blew; the other looked younger and quite pretty, but It seems that he is a little ignorant of worldly affairs, and he only has a longing for a "good marriage".
With an idea in mind, the "fortune teller" stood up, straightened his robes, took his own cloth flag, turned around and followed Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang.
The table used by this "Tiekou Straight Cut" was a small table placed outside by a nearby tea stall. He moved it to the roadside and borrowed it. The proprietress of the tea stall saw him leaving and said, "Hey Huang Banxian'er, why did you close the stall so early today?"
Huang Banxian'er stroked his beard in a serious manner and said with a smile: "The three hexagrams have been completed today. I will follow these two believers to get the hexagrams and close the stall!"
Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang were walking in front and exchanged glances when they heard this. Both of them clearly understood the meaning in each other's eyes: this old liar is still doing the same thing.
Of course, many people who have been defrauded by such street scammers are very attracted to this "pretending" appearance.
Su Qingluan murmured in her heart: It is too difficult to choose "extras", especially those whose images match the image. If it weren't for the image of "the immortal" in front of her, she really wouldn't want to be with such a low-handed liar. Deal with it, send it directly to the Yamen and bring him down!
After muttering like this, the two of them arrived at a small courtyard with three entrances - Liu Yunniang's home.
Although it was broad daylight, it was very quiet inside. But it was natural to be quiet. There was no one in the yard now, neither Mrs. Xi nor Liu Sheng was at home.
It turns out that it is early summer now, and although some people are willing to drink the soup all year round, the sales volume is far less than after autumn. So the Liu family planned to wait until the weather cooled down in autumn before selling soup and cooking cakes, and in summer they would make some cool and refreshing things, such as Sushan.
However, this thing is very expensive. Although it is very popular, it is not easy to preserve. After all, there are no refrigerators and freezers in this era, so these cold drinks must be made and eaten fresh.
Lefeng County is not without wealthy families who own a large amount of ice - the Xie Family Villa that Shan Su Qingluan knows is a very typical family.
Many local wealthy people have their families store ice cubes on the ice in the winter. They cannot use them all in the summer. Sometimes they even have to throw away the entire block in the fall to make room for ice harvesting the following year. .
The Liu family took a fancy to this business opportunity.
Both of them are long-term residents of Lefeng County. Naturally, they have a much more detailed understanding of each family in Lefeng County than the "outsiders" like the Su family, so they naturally know which family has more ice cubes than they can use up, and which family is so stingy. If you don't pull a hair, who has a gentle temper and is willing to give charity?
So Mrs. Xi and Yagyu, whose legs had recovered, went to collect ice cubes from people who could collect excess ice cubes during the day, added various seasonal fruits to make ice products, and sold them to passers-by.
Those wealthy households sold the ice cubes to the Liu family at low prices. Not only could they dispose of the excess ice cubes, but the servants who managed the ice cubes below could also make a small income from this. Why not?
As for the Liu family, they have made a lot of money recently by relying on this ice cream. Although it was hard work, they seemed to enjoy it.
However, ice harvesting must be done when it is dark, otherwise it will melt more easily during the day. Therefore, the Liu family recently even stayed in the servants' room of the wealthy family where the ice was harvested to avoid the hassle during the day and night.
This is one of the reasons why there is no one in the Liu family during the day, so Su Qingluan and Liu Yuniang can safely bring "Huang Banxian'er" to the Liu family - because no matter what happens in the house, there will be no third party except the two of them. People noticed this.
Huang Banxian'er was with the old god all the way, and he was still thinking about which restaurant and restaurant he would go to after taking the money. As a result, he followed him into the small courtyard and came to the front hall where guests were entertained. This "Huang Banxian" "But I felt something was not right.
