Chapter 36: A Helpless Deal
Soon Li Changrong came to the hall and said to Gou Mao with a kind face: "I heard yesterday that someone hit a big worm, and when I saw it today, it was really a hero out of a young man." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Gou Mao hurriedly stood up, bowed, and said, "I don't dare to be a compliment from the court, it's just because of a little luck." ”
As soon as he said this, Li Changrong glanced at the dog hair and said, "Contemptible Li Changrong, haven't you asked the guest officer how to call him?" ”
"In Xia Wan Dog Hair, the name is too vulgar, which makes the court smile." Dog Hair said.
Li Changrong waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, the name is just a title, guest officer, please let the contemptible people take a look at the big insect, okay?" ”
"It's supposed to be like this, please feel free to do so."
Li Changrong then walked in front of the big insect, touched it here, looked there, and after the inspection, Li Changrong said: "These two big insects, one male and one female, are similar in size, and there are five or six blood holes on their bodies, which is really a pity." ”
Gou Mao smiled slightly, this is picking a reason to lower the price, so Gou Mao said: "To kill a chicken, you have to touch the neck with a knife, not to mention the big worm, and it is understandable to have a few holes." ”
After Li Changrong heard this, he said: "Now that the weather is hot, please ask the guest officer to deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise once it rots, it will be worthless." ”
"What the Great Dynasty said is very reasonable, so I came to find a buyer today, although there are many buyers, but it is better to find more." Dog fur replied.
Li Changrong was stunned in his heart, this person is not easy to fool! So he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly: "One hundred and twenty taels per big worm, this price is also worth the money, is the guest officer good?" ”
When they heard one hundred and twenty taels, the puppies were all overjoyed, one can be sold for one hundred and twenty taels, and those two are not more than two hundred taels? Now it's time to send it.
Although the puppies are happy, but the dog hair is not satisfied, one hundred and twenty taels, which is equivalent to fifty or sixty thousand yuan in the future, fifty or sixty thousand yuan just want to buy a tiger, dream of it.
So the dog hair said: "It's too low, a wild boar can still be sold for sixty taels, let alone a big worm." Since the great court is not sincere, then I will leave first. ”
Li Changrong hurriedly grabbed the dog's hair and said: "Wait a minute, the guest officer doesn't know, although the big insect is good, only one insect skin is useful to me, and the price is not low." ”
Dog Mao thought for a while and replied: "The big insect is full of treasures, insect bones and insect whips, all the internal organs can be used in medicine, and the insect meat is even more delicious in the world, how can it be useless?" ”
Li Changrong said helplessly: "But I don't run a pharmacy or restaurant!" ”
"This is easy to do, the great court only needs to invite the shopkeeper of the largest restaurant and pharmacy in Mizhi County, and you will each take what you need, so that it will not be wasted." Dog hair.
Li Changrong was helpless, it seemed that he could only do this, otherwise he would really not be able to eat these two big insects.
So, Li Changrong said to his nephew next to him: "You go and invite Doctor Fan from Huichun Hall and Shopkeeper Wu from Xiangwanli Restaurant, don't delay the hour, don't let the guest officer wait for a long time." ”
Then he said to Gou Mao: "Please wait a while, let's have some snacks first." ”
Dog hair pushed and dragged and said: "I'm not afraid of the shopkeeper's jokes, such a good snack is really unaccustomed to it." ”
Just kidding, I don't know you, I dare to eat your stuff? The ghost knows if there is poison in it, and the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, this is a wise saying when you go out.
The dog cub next to them, seeing the dog hair talking eloquently, I really admired it in my heart, how can the eldest brother understand so many things? This big brother really didn't give it for nothing.
Soon, Doctor Fan and Shopkeeper Wu were invited over, and after everyone saw each other, the two of them also carefully inspected the big worm, and after checking, Li Changrong and the two of them went into the back hall to discuss.
In the back hall, the three of them agreed that the insect skin belonged to Li Changrong, the insect bones and insect whips, the internal organs, and the Fan physician, and the rest belonged to the shopkeeper Wu, and the silver was shared equally among everyone.
After discussing, the three of them walked out of the back hall and offered Gou Mao one hundred and eighty taels of silver for a worm, and Gou Mao mocked: "The three big shopkeepers are famous giant businessmen, why are they so stingy?" How many times can I see a big worm in a lifetime? Aren't they all treasures in your hands? Do you still care about such a little bit of silver? ”
Li Changrong couldn't help it and asked, "Guest officer, how much do you want to sell?" ”
"I don't know, if you bid, I will sell it if I am satisfied, and I will not sell it if I am not satisfied."
Helplessly, the three of them entered the back hall again to discuss.
As soon as he entered the back hall, Shopkeeper Wu couldn't help but get angry and scolded: "Damn, where did the country sticks come from, or let's ask someone to do them, Brother Li, with your identity, you shouldn't be so angry, just arrest them in prison, isn't it over?" ”
Doctor Fan did not say anything in favor or against on the side, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
Li Changrong waved his hand helplessly and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, don't say this again, these people are not random to offend, let's negotiate the price again and see if we can buy it." ”
After some discussion, the three of them came out of the back hall and quoted two hundred and sixty taels for the dog hair.
Looking at the painful expressions of the three people, instead of relenting, Gou Mao pretended to be angry and said: "Since the three of them are not sincere, I will say goodbye." ”
After saying that, the dog hair was about to leave, but Li Changrong hurriedly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, let us discuss it one last time." ”
The three of them then went back to the back hall, and after a final discussion, they finally decided to offer three hundred taels and not sell them.
Hearing this offer, Gou Mao said categorically: "Less than three hundred and thirty taels will not be sold." ”
Li Changrong, Wu shopkeeper, and Doctor Fan glanced at each other, and the three of them smiled helplessly, and finally Li Changrong said helplessly: "That's it, it's up to you." ”
Oh, it seems that it is really sold at the highest price, and even the guest officer doesn't need it, just say you. Gou Mao felt a burst of pride in his heart.
So Gou Mao sat in the hall and waited for them to go back to get the money, and after about a stick of incense, the three of them took the money back, a total of twelve large silver ingots, each of which was fifty taels, and another sixty taels of broken silver.
This is enough to take two large cloth bags, and Gou Mao said that there are too many silver ingots to use, so he took out two more and asked Li Changrong to exchange them for broken silver.
Then the dog hair asked the earth dog to take a kitchen knife to the silver ingots, a large point of broken silver, all cut open, to see if it is true or false, the level of counterfeiting in ancient times is not worse than that of later generations, what lead silver, tin silver, potion silver, fake silver is more, you better not bite directly with your mouth, in case you encounter mercury to make a fake, it will be poisoned.
After checking the authenticity, the dog hair let people take out the scales brought at home, and let the earth dog weigh it, the weight is very sufficient, very good, not less, and the color is also okay. It's just too much time, and it took half an hour to collect a penny.
One tael of silver has thirty-seven and a half grams, and six hundred and sixty taels is forty-nine and a half catties, which is too heavy.
Two bags with such a heavy weight have to be carried on your body, which will exhaust you, but the dog hair makes the two people of Goushui and Dogleg carry a bag for each person, but the two of them are extremely excited, just say that one person is enough, and there is no need for two people to carry it. It's really money is money, if the two of them are allowed to carry stones, will they still be so energetic?
