Chapter 259 Clever
The waiter who came over with a pot of tea heard Ruan He's words, his clever eyes rolled around, and he shouted happily: "Hey, Miss Ruan, you are asking the right person! We Yesterday, the shopkeeper was thinking about where would be the best place to sell the litter of cows and piglets that had just been born!"
There are not many families raising large livestock like pigs and cows in the city. Shopkeeper Qiu runs an inn after all. The supply of pork and beef from those who buy it in bulk is always unstable, so he rented a small yard for himself. Pigs and cows, just feeding these livestock is a big expense on a daily basis.
"You're the only one who's smart!" Shopkeeper Qiu smiled and scolded him, squinting at him, and pretended to be angry and hit the boy's forehead, but he really planned to sell the few piglets and calves that had just been born in the house to Ruan He.
On the one hand, Ruan He's arrival is a rare and important customer for Shopkeeper Qiu. He might be able to sell some good things one day, so he must make good use of these little piglets and calves. On the other hand, although the piglets and calves in this city are rare, they are not so easy to get rid of. They require a large space to raise and cost a lot of feed. Ordinary people in Yuecheng are not willing to raise such large livestock since childhood. It is better to raise a few more chickens and ducks to save worry and trouble.
Shopkeeper Qiu smiled heartily, looked at Ruan He, and asked: "What do you mean, Miss Ruan, do you want to buy my two piglets and cows? If they are sold to you, I can give you a cheap price."
"Shopkeeper Qiu, I want to take the silver I just got home. I don't have any other money to spend..." Ruan He raised his eyebrows, as if he was joking, and said in amusement, before he could wait. Shopkeeper Qiu's expression changed. Ruan He didn't really want to take advantage of this. He changed his voice and said: "I have two nests of wild rabbits here, about seven or eight in each nest. I will trade them with you for a pair of oxen." Piglets, a pair of piglets, is that enough?”
A dozen wild rabbits in exchange for a few cubs must be enough. Even shopkeeper Qiu didn't expect to get such good conditions.
"Enough! Of course it's enough! Miss Ruan, I'll have someone go back and bring it to you right away!" Shopkeeper Qiu clapped his hands cheerfully, and quickly agreed in a particularly happy mood, for fear that Ruan He would want to go off the rails again and regret this move. pile transaction.
For Ruan He, this transaction is not considered a loss. After all, it is not easy to buy cows and pigs across the city, and the litter of rabbits in the space is called a Come on, it's only a matter of time before two litters of plump rabbits are born, and it doesn't cost anything at all.
Just using this nest of wild rabbits to replace the value of his golden hairpin, Ruan He would not have swallowed those silver coins alone. If Mrs. Mutai asked accidentally later, she would naturally have an explanation and said that it was for the money. The golden hairpin was replaced by these pigs and cows.
However, there has been no movement in the space since swallowing the golden hairpin. I don't know when it will be upgraded again.
Shopkeeper Qiu specially hired someone to drag a large wooden box back with a cart, and the muffled grunt of pigs could be vaguely heard inside.
After all, a piglet and a cow were heavy. It was impossible for Ruan He to take them back alone, so he accepted Shopkeeper Qiu's kindness and asked him to hire an ox cart to transport the two cubs. Send it to the Mu family in the exile village.
Ruan He walked around the county town happily. When she was buying a pound of pork in front of the pork stall, a slightly familiar voice came to her ears.
Across the street not far from the pork stall, there was a small medicine shop. There were faint sounds of quarreling. Ruan He subconsciously looked around and saw the medicine shop owner standing at the door. His face turned red due to the argument, and he kept mumbling with a particularly broken mouth.Auntie Cui was holding a large bag of medicine in her hand, sitting on the edge of the counter. All she was talking about was asking the drugstore shop owner to make it cheaper, saying that her family was in trouble and couldn't afford the medicine at all.
The medicine shop owner showed a helpless look, sighed, and explained to her in a good voice: "Auntie! My medicine has always been at this price! You can go to Yuecheng to ask about it. How can I ask for it? There are cheaper medicines than ours! It costs twenty cents a piece! You can search all over Yuecheng and you won’t find anything so cheap!”
"Twenty cents a piece is so cheap! This piece can only be boiled and drank once, and our family will have to come to you to buy medicine later!"
After buying the medicine for [-] cents per patch, Aunt Cui talked about it with great distress. She was reluctant to pay for the medicine, but she was not happy to leave just like that.
"Auntie..." The drug store manager couldn't help but take out a ledger from underneath, held the footer of the ledger and flipped through it a few times, until he reached the page where the goods were purchased.
"Look, our drug store spent a lot of money on your [-]-cent medicine. It really can't be cheaper!"
The medicine shop owner was an honest man, so it made no sense for him to be so tyrannical as Aunt Cui, so out of desperation he took out the account book and showed it to her directly.
Seeing that the lady was still staring and raising her eyebrows, as if she was afraid that she would be cheated out of her money, the drug store manager had no choice but to throw out the account book in his hand, and said as if he was breaking a jar, " Auntie, if you feel that the price of our medicine is too high or that we are trying to trick you, you can just go to another pharmacy to buy it. We are really a small business and we can’t get any cheaper!"
They are also a small business. What this aunt originally bought was the cheapest medicine in the drug store. If the price was further discounted, it would be difficult for his small drug store to open at all.
If he really encounters a customer who is pestering and asking for help, he can only do this to avoid causing more trouble later.
After saying this, the drug store owner opened the account book again, picked up the ink pen on the side and nodded on it, as if he didn't want to argue with her anymore and was focused on the matter in front of him.
"Okay, okay...I'll buy it, I'll buy it, why are you so weird about being a picky person!" Aunt Cui also knew in her heart that the price of this medicine is already cheap enough, and the noise here is nothing more than wanting more. Taking advantage of it, seeing the drug store owner showing such an attitude, she had no choice but to accept the price of the medicine, spread out a row of money and put it on the counter, and then successfully took away the few pills.
