Xie Yunshang didn't expect to gain so much from his return trip. First, he met Master Chen in time, and then he got the life-saving golden sore medicine.
In fact, if Mr. Chen dedicated the source of the golden sore medicine to the imperial court, he might be able to make meritorious deeds, and then he would no longer need to be exiled.
But Mr. Chen did not do this. The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of harboring the jade. The current emperor is not a wise king. Therefore, offering this medicine is probably like a meat bun beating a dog...
So, instead of competing for some illusory credit, it is better to It is better to let Xiaoxue collect more contribution points.
After several turmoils, he clearly understood that only when he became stronger could he protect his family and himself.
And Chen Xue's contribution is a strong backing for them.
"By the way, we wanted to buy some pigs, but we couldn't find any in the county, so we wanted to ask the county magistrate. After all, he is in charge of the county. He might have clues..."
"No problem!"
Even if there was no transaction just now, Mr. Chen Xie Yunshang would not refuse any request.
However, he was a little confused, what did Mr. Chen want the pig for?
Could it be that he wanted to improve the food?
After all, Xie Yunshang knew what the exiled team would eat, and how could that kind of food be worthy of Master Chen.
But, if you want to improve your food, you can buy mutton and chicken?
Why buy a pig?
Pork doesn't taste good!
If this wasn't a frontier, he could have sent a few kilograms of beef to Master Chen to supplement their nutrition.
Maybe it was for trade, Xie Yunshang thought that when Mr. Chen and the others asked him to buy gold sore medicine in the future, they would use supplies instead.
But he guessed that Mr. Chen's golden sore medicine was purchased from others, so Mr. Chen should have exchanged the supplies for the golden sore medicine with others.
For a moment, he thought of some reclusive families, or villages that had not been around for many years, and were in contact with Mr. Chen, so he did not ask for silver, but asked for supplies.
With these thoughts, Xie Yunshang approached Magistrate Xu. After hearing this, Magistrate Xu was very curious, but he immediately agreed.
Coincidentally, a few days ago, a foreign businessman drove a group of pigs to the county government and asked the county government whether he would accept them.
If it was a flock of sheep, the county government would definitely accept it without saying a word, but if it was a pig, unless it was a powerful chef, it would be difficult to get rid of the fishy smell, so Magistrate Xu asked his men to refuse.
Who knows, the Chen family suddenly wanted to buy a pig, which made him confused, but he had to immediately ask his servants to quickly find the businessman.
Soon, a government servant came over with a businessman, and the businessman could be seen driving several black pigs.
Black pigs are small in size, about the same size as lambs. They are all black and covered with long black hair.
In terms of appearance alone, black pigs are ugly.
No wonder few people eat it. Many people subconsciously feel that the uglier the food, the more unpalatable it is.
"County Magistrate Xu..."
The businessman immediately saluted the magistrate and then was a little curious as to why the magistrate called him over. Didn't he say he wouldn't buy pigs before?
"No gift." Magistrate Xu waved his hand and asked quickly, "How can you sell this pig?"
Chen Xue, who was standing next to her, had a strange look on her face. She always felt that Magistrate Xu was swearing, but she had no evidence.
The businessman was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said with some joy, "Five taels... No, only two taels for these two ends."
Originally, he wanted to say five taels for one end, but he was the county magistrate in front of him, and there was absolutely no harm in making friends with him. , and looking at the man next to him wearing armor, he is obviously a general.
Therefore, these people are all noble people, he is a businessman, he likes investing the most, and he uses small things to make big things.
So, now that the opportunity was rare, why didn't he seize it.
"One or two?" Chen Xue was a little surprised that the black pig was so expensive, but when you think about it, rare things are more valuable. Although black pigs are eaten by fewer people, they also lead to fewer people raising them, so it is normal for the price to be higher.
"No need." Mr. Chen shook his head at this time, "It is as much as it should be. Although we are trapped here, we will not take it by force..."
"This..."
Hearing Mr. Chen's words, the businessman was a little agitated. I was curious about his identity. After all, one of them was a county magistrate and the other was a general. Only Mr. Chen was plainly dressed. I thought he was a servant, but he dared to speak first in front of the two adults.
This explains the problem.
However, the general and the county magistrate did not express dissatisfaction, which obviously showed that the identity of the man in front of him was not simple.
When the businessman saw this, how could he dare to express his dissatisfaction? He immediately respected him and said, "What about this gentleman, two heads of five taels of silver?"
After all, he just said five taels of silver. Although he did not indicate whether it was one head or two heads, from the moment this man spoke, it became clear that As much as you can tell about his character.
So he followed what he said before, 2 heads and 5 taels, and he did not suffer any loss, and this adult also... did not suffer any loss.
"Okay!"
Mr. Chen nodded. In fact, he could guess that the merchant originally wanted to say five liang per head, but now it is five liang and two heads. They can be considered an advantage.
But in fact, even if there are 2 heads and 5 taels, the businessman actually does not suffer a loss, and Mr. Chen is not really that old-fashioned. It is impossible to really continue to fight. It would be better to fight for 5 taels and 1 head. After all, he is not Really taken advantage of.
In fact, the reason why he asked for the original price was not only because of his character that he would not take advantage of others, but also to give Xie Yunshang and Magistrate Xu a good impression.
Originally he disdained such tactics, but now that his family has become an exiled prisoner and he cannot protect himself, he finally understands the importance of connections.
If he had a good relationship with them and asked them not to save him in times of crisis, but only to ask them to lend a helping hand and save his wife and daughter, he would die without regrets.
really.
After hearing what Mr. Chen said, Xie Yunshang nodded secretly. He is indeed Mr. Chen whom I admire.
Magistrate Xu was also a little surprised. Although it was only a few taels of silver, he could see Master Chen's character by looking at the small things.
This person is worth keeping company with.
Although he is currently in exile, you can see from General Pingwei's attitude towards him that this person's future will definitely not be limited to this.
However, when it came to paying, the penniless Mr. Chen had to turn his head to look at his daughter.
Although he didn't want to accept this nickname, he was really penniless.
Although there were only two black pigs, Chen Xue was very happy. For a while, braised pork, braised pork trotters, braised elbows, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork loin, pork stewed vermicelli, etc...
countless dish names came to mind. Wandering around, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva. It was really a long time since she had eaten pork.
Before time travel, pork was too expensive to buy, and then I could only eat takeout for work, which didn't even have a few pieces of meat. After time travel, this was the first time I saw pigs in a different world, and I had never eaten pork.
So, she really misses pork.
It's just a pity that the two pigs in front of me are both boars. It would be better if there were one male and one female, so that sustainable development could be achieved.
If there are two boars, we can only let them guess the game, and see who loses and eats it, leaving one as a breeding pig.
