When Jiang Yifeng returned to Su City, it was already afternoon.
He first told Xu Ning to get off the carriage and get out, and then went to the market to see the price of pig offal.
Not to mention, Sioux City is a big city, the market is very big, and sells everything, even spices from exotic places.
It's a pity that the price of spices is comparable to gold. Jiang Yifeng feels his flesh ache just looking at it. It's simply not something he can afford.
Soon, he found the butcher's shop on the edge of the market.
To be precise, this is not only a butcher shop, but also responsible for the slaughter of pigs and sheep.
Jiang Yifeng looked at the prices of mutton and pork, and immediately smiled bitterly. He was indeed right, mutton and pork were both expensive.
Mutton costs twenty copper coins per catty. Pork is cheaper, but it also costs twelve copper coins per catty.
What is the concept?
The clerk of Wang Kun's family, whose monthly salary is one tael of silver, or one thousand copper coins, can only buy fifty catties of mutton and more than eighty catties of pork.
At such a price, ordinary people can only look at it at ordinary times, and are only willing to buy some to satisfy their cravings during the holidays.
It seems that pork and mutton are really out of the question.
Jiang Yifeng gave up buying meat and looked around the butcher shops for a week, finally stopping in front of the largest butcher shop.
The butcher shop owner is a tall, thick-set man with a full beard. He is shirtless and has an apron tied around his waist. He is skillfully carving up a pig.
After Jiang Yifeng watched the entire dissection process, he could only describe it in two words: silky smooth.
"Boss, how do you sell pig waste?"
"Pig into the water?"
When the butcher shop owner saw Jiang Yifeng's attire, he thought he had heard wrong. He was stunned and said, "A catty of pig sex costs six copper coins, but do you really know how to buy pig sex?"
Although Jiang Yifeng was his adopted son-in-law, his clothes were very luxurious and he didn't look like a pig-eater.
Pig offal is an ingredient that only common people will buy when they are hungry. A real nobleman will not even eat pork, but only mutton.
"can it be cheaper?"
When Jiang Yifeng heard the price, he secretly smacked his tongue, secretly thinking that it was a lie in the novel that pigs were cheap and given away for free.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will understand that during disaster years, people are so hungry that they eat tree bark, Guanyin soil, and almost anything. How can they not eat pig waste?
As long as someone eats pig offal, it will become food. At most, with the cooking skills of this era, pig offal cannot be made delicious.
However, no matter how unpalatable it is, it is still meat, and the price cannot be too cheap.
"It's not expensive to sell pig water, so you still want it to be cheaper?"
The butcher shop owner glared at him, his fierce gaze so frightening that Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but retreat.
Jiang Yifeng was intimidated by the butcher shop owner's momentum and said with a smile: "I buy more, so it should be cheaper!"
The butcher shop owner shook his head and said, "Even if you buy a lot, I can't sell it to you cheaply."
"Why?"
"No reason. If you want to buy it, buy it. If you don't want to buy it, leave. Don't delay my business."
The butcher shop owner became impatient and nailed the butcher's knife to the chopping board.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yifeng knew that Lu Zhishen had no reason to kill Zhen Guanxi.
This pork seller is so overbearing, he is simply a bully.
"Are you the boss's big brother?"
But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Jiang Yifeng looked around and saw a young man who was a little taller than him and strong, looking at him with an excited expression on his face.
"Who is your boss?"
Jiang Yifeng's face was filled with questions.
"Of course my boss is Su Dongchu!"
"You ever met me?"
"Of course, you take the boss to school every day, and I have seen you from a distance several times."
The young man grinned and introduced himself: "Big brother, my name is Zhu Rong. You can just call me Xiao Rong."
"Well……"
Jiang Yifeng looked at the boy who was taller than him and couldn't help but asked, "Is school over?"
Zhu Rong scratched his head in embarrassment, "No, I was kicked out by my husband."
"Why did sir want to kick you out?"
"My husband wants me to recite the Book of Rites, but if I can't recite it, I will let him punish me directly."
"Have you been punished?"
"Punishment."
"Then why were you kicked out again?"
"When my husband hit me, I felt that my strength was too weak, so I asked him if he hadn't eaten. I originally thought that if he hadn't eaten, I would give him a piece of pork to make up for it, but he suddenly became very angry and kicked me out. ”
"..."
Jiang Yifeng originally thought that his husband was doing something wrong, but after listening to Zhu Rong's account, he felt that it was too easy for him to chase Zhu Rong out.
How could anyone ask his husband if he hadn't eaten while he was being punished corporally? This is simply provocation.
Thinking of this, he wanted to go to Yuelu Academy to see what kind of weird classmates Su Dongchu was.
"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Zhu Rong asked enthusiastically.
"I want to buy some..."
Just as Jiang Yifeng was about to tell his purpose, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "What does your family do?"
Zhu Rong replied: "Our family sells pork."
Jiang Yifeng raised his eyebrows, "Do all the pork shops here belong to your family?"
"of course not."
Zhu Rong shook his head and said, "That's the one in our butcher shop, the smallest one."
Following Zhu Rong's fingers, Jiang Yifeng saw an inconspicuous butcher's shop in the corner.
Compared with other butcher shops, this butcher shop can only be described as mini, not one-fifth as big as the one he just asked about the price.
Moreover, there was not even a piece of pork on the butcher shop, only a butcher's knife.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Yifeng couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that not all of Su Dongchu's classmates were wealthy and had ordinary families.
He originally thought that Zhu Rong, like Wang Kun and Song Yuan, had a monopoly on the pork business.
Unexpectedly, there was only one small stall.
So, he directly said: "I originally wanted to buy some pigs, but the price was too expensive, costing six copper coins per pound. I wanted him to lower the price, but he just kicked me out."
"I'll just kick you out."
Zhu Rong rolled up his sleeves and asked, "Big brother, tell me who drove you away, and I'll beat him."
"never mind."
Jiang Yifeng grabbed Zhu Rong and said, "It's better to do less than to do more. What's more, it's just that my attitude is a bit bad, and I haven't done anything wrong in other matters."
Zhu Rong said: "Not only does he have a bad attitude, he also wants to deceive you. The price of pig offal is at most four copper coins per pound. He must be seeing that you are well-dressed and wants to trick you."
Is this a pig-killing plate?
Jiang Yifeng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that he would be fooled in this market.
"Stop what you are doing. Brother, who just lied to my boss, come forward immediately."
Suddenly, Zhu Rong was standing in the center of all the butcher stalls, pinching his waist and shouting loudly.
This is a market, which immediately attracts everyone to stop and watch.
When Jiang Yifeng saw this, he immediately pulled Zhu Rong away. He did not dare to provoke that vicious pork guy.
"it's me!"
But, it's obviously too late.
The butcher shop owner from before had a butcher's knife in his hand and walked towards them with great momentum.
However, just when Jiang Yifeng thought he was about to die, the butcher shop owner suddenly knelt in front of Zhu Rong.
