Chapter 244: Procurement before the year
"Xiaodong, are you buying things or robbing here?" Xiao Han obviously saw the man jump a little, couldn't help but laugh and scolded Xiaodong, and said to the man who sold meat with a pleasant face: "Fellow, don't be afraid...... Ahem, how do you sell this meat? ”
"The fellow doesn't dare to be a ......" Xiao Han thought that what he said was sincere enough, but the pork seller was once again frightened and trembled, and he didn't dare to raise his head and said: "This meat is twelve... No, ten pennies a pound! ”
"Am I that scary?" Xiao Han touched his face depressedly, how could this person look at himself more than Xiao Dong next to him, did he look like someone who was going to rob him?
"Forget it, it's not easy for you on a cold day, just count according to the twelve, I'll cover all of these! Do you have anything left at home? As long as it's fresh, I want it all! Thinking about it to no avail, Xiao Han stepped forward and poked the skin of the meat with his fingers, it was very clean and fresh! If you don't even think about it, it's all round.
As for the price, the uncle is now worth a lot of money, so naturally he will not take advantage of these hawkers who want to support their families, so it will be calculated according to the original price!
In this way, the man was shocked for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.
"Guest officer, all of this? Or is it the price of 12 Wen? The man was so stupid that he forgot to be afraid, as if he couldn't believe it, and asked carefully!
Xiao Han was a little impatient, this vendor is too eyeless, how many catties is a pig, how can you see that the uncle can't afford it?
The big hand waved towards the meat stall: "It's all over!" In addition, if you have it at home, I will also accept it! You send it to Sanyuan County, Xiaojia Zhuangzi, naturally someone will settle the bill for you, and don't let you run in vain, the freight will also be counted for you, and a big son will not be less! Xiaodong, give money! ”
"Okay!" Xiaodong, who was pulling the pig's ears next to him, heard Hou Ye call himself, and hurriedly agreed loudly, and came over to watch the man weigh the meat, in fact, there is a little secret here, he doesn't know the name at all...... It's just a fool!
After getting the pork, Xiao Han led Xue Pan to continue walking, until he walked out of the distance, he could still hear the voice of the hawker behind him shouting thanks, and he couldn't help but sigh a little, these days, if you buy something, you can make it like a saint!
Buying pork is not Xiao Han's whim, Xiao Zhuangzi's consumption of pork is extremely large now! In addition, there are really not too many pigs at this time, and as a result, like now, if you want to eat pork, you have to come to Chang'an to buy it, and all the people in Sanyuan County have been wiped out by Xiaojia Zhuangzi.
Xiao Han didn't believe it at first, in his impression, the most important thing in the countryside is pigs! But he ignored one point, this is the Tang Dynasty, more than a thousand years ago, at this time, people can't eat, how can there be anything to feed the pigs? You must know that pigs and cattle and sheep are different, cattle and sheep can eat grass, while pigs have to eat grain!
No matter what time of year, shopping is always satisfying, after all, buying is also a kind of reward, especially when you have extra money!
From the beginning all the way here, Xiao Han had already stacked a cart full of things on the cart behind him, and he didn't encounter anything too unusual, all of them were some dishes, fish and the like, although they were not too valuable, but they were better than a lot of types, and basically collected all the necessary dishes for the New Year.
Moreover, most of these are still samples, and there are many that have not been loaded in the follow-up, Xiaodong and the hawkers have agreed that they will be directly delivered to Xiaojia Zhuangzi the day after tomorrow, and someone will settle the freight together.
The people of Xishi have seen it today, and there are still people in this world who buy things like this!
The price is never said, as long as you are optimistic, don't say anything, buy it immediately! And the amount is huge, such a single business will make more money than after suffering from freezing here for several days! Therefore, no matter where Xiao Han goes, someone will send his best goods respectfully, as if waiting for Xiao Han's acceptance.
When they saw this scene, they were afraid that someone would take the opportunity to raise the price to pit their own Hou Ye, so they all pricked up their ears and clenched their fists, ready to hear someone quote indiscriminately, and immediately invited him to eat meat buns!
But I didn't expect that along the way, I didn't dare to say that dozens of hundreds of vendors had seen it, and none of them quoted indiscriminately, and the prices were very real! Not only that, but they also consciously lined up, and the order was as if someone had organized it!
The people who were selected for the goods smiled, and those who were not selected, although they were disappointed, but none of them were stubborn, and they could only complain that their goods did not enter the eyes of the nobles.
The West Market is too big, until her feet hurt, and she didn't finish it completely, and Xue Pan also had several cloth tigers and small clay sculptures in her arms, all of which were very cute, so she couldn't put it down.
Thinking of the bunch of spices he ate at lunchtime, Xiao Han suddenly found that he hadn't found a store selling spices from the beginning to the present, so he was going to buy some star anise nutmeg and the like to go back to stew.
called Xiao Dong, who was busy gnawing on radishes behind him, before Xiao Han could ask, Xiao Dong opened his mouth, and he was full of burps, and a strange smell rushed to his nose, almost missing Xiao Han's head!
"Gross... Shut up and turn your face away! ”
"Yes..."Xiao Dong reluctantly turned his face to the side, and asked angrily, "Master Hou, you haven't said what you want me to do." ”
Xiao Han fanned the wind with his hand, and accidentally fanned the meaning to Xue Pan, and his waist was hit a few more times......
"Shhhh I wanted to ask something, yes! Why don't you see spices for sale here? "The feeling of being hot in his waist is so refreshing that Xiao Han almost forgot what he wanted to ask!
"Spices?" Xiao Dong turned his face violently, but was quickly kicked back by a big kick.
"My Hou Ye, the spices are going to the medicine store to buy! Who would be willing to cook with spices here! Xiaodong rubbed his ass and replied aggrievedly.
"Pharmacy?" Xiao Han scratched his head, he almost forgot that these things were indeed used as medicinal herbs in the first place.
Drove Xiaodong to the pharmacy, and the shopkeeper sitting in the hall saw so many people gathered around at once, and thought that he had encountered an emergency, and was just about to send a guy to call the master, but the young man in the lead had already come over.
The pharmacy in the Tang Dynasty was still a little different from the Chinese medicine shop that Xiao Han had seen, and the dense wooden drawers on the wall were full of the names of medicinal materials, which only made people a little dizzy at a glance.
"Shopkeeper, give me ten catties of star anise, ten catties of bay leaves, ten catties of nutmeg......"
"Huh?" The shopkeeper was a little confused, who is this young man? Aren't medicinal herbs all weighed by how much money they have? Why is this opening just a catty? Is this here to buy?
"Dare to ask the guest officer, is there a way?" The shopkeeper couldn't tell Xiao Han's intentions, so he could only ask carefully.
"What do you want? Our Hou Ye has another use! Hurry up and put the scales on it, hurry up! "I was stunned and slapped the table and asked the shopkeeper to hurry up and work, you are a quack doctor who dares to talk about prescriptions in front of Hou Ye? Besides, can you understand such a profound thing as our Hou Ye taking medicinal herbs back to cook?
"But, we don't have so many goods..."The shopkeeper was about to cry, and this person didn't give a prescription, so it stands to reason that he couldn't administer medicine, but everyone said that they were from the Hou Mansion. I can't afford to offend a medicinal herb store, so I can only make a fuss, for fear that these people will be angry and tear down the store for him.
"There are not so many, there are as many as you want, and the money is indispensable to you!" Xiao Han and Xue Pan fiddled with the small copper scales weighing medicinal materials on the counter, and said without looking back.
"That's good, that's good!" The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, which asked people to go to the back hall to take out all the things that Xiao Han wanted and show Xiao Han one by one.
There are a lot of bags, but there are not many in total, not to mention ten catties, and some can't even make up a catty, which is an extremely common condiment in later generations, and it is extremely rare at this time! And there is no production in China at all, only by relying on caravans going to the Western Regions can they bring some here, and the price is not exaggerated compared to gold!
When it was time to check out, Xiao Han realized that he didn't spend much money on things for an afternoon, but he didn't expect to spend hundreds of dollars on these catties of spices at once!
