The Devil Emperor's Crazy Concubine

Chapter 288: A Heart Is Made of Meat (2)
Zhang Xiaowan hesitated for a moment, then stopped to discuss with Zhu Datian, "Uncle, I heard from two people just now that the old man of Yuan's family is celebrating his birthday, shall we go and see?"

Zhu Datian replied "Yes" without even thinking about it.

When he arrived at the big family's house, Zhang Xiaowan chose the back door to ask someone. The person who asked heard that it was freshly harvested wild pork and told them to wait. He went back and asked for a letter.

Looking back, he brought a man like a housekeeper over. The housekeeper said that he had just received a letter that a distinguished guest was coming from the county, and that he wanted to order an extra dish today. together.

This counts, enough for one of them.

Zhang Xiaowan paused and told Zhu Datian to sell first.

When Zhu Datian repeatedly refused, he repeatedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I will sell the ones in your basket first."

Zhang Xiaowan was already extremely tired, how could she have the strength to push him back and forth, she opened her mouth with a wry smile and said, "Sell yours first, uncle, at home, Uncle Zhu is still waiting for you to bring copper coins back to invite the doctor."

After hearing her words, Zhu Datian also fell silent.

Seeing that they were arguing well, the housekeeper next to him bought Zhu Datian's meat, and gave Zhu Datian a few extra copper coins when he gave the money, which was regarded as rewards for happy days.

Zhu Datian had to go back first after selling it. When he parted ways with Zhang Xiaowan, Zhu Datian insisted on giving Zhang Xiaowan five copper plates. Seeing that Zhang Xiaowan didn't want it, he became anxious again, and said loudly, "What are you doing, girl?" What’s the matter, I gave you a few copper coins to buy pancakes, your meat hasn’t been sold yet, and it will take a long time to sell it, what should you do if you’re hungry?”

He yelled so loudly that everyone who came and went looked at them, so Zhang Xiaowan had no choice but to answer.

Arriving at shopkeeper Li's inn, shopkeeper Li looked at her meat. He couldn't take all the meat in this hot weather, so he said to Zhang Xiaowan in embarrassment, "I only need half of it."

"Well, half is half, as long as you want." Zhang Xiaowan gave him a big smile, full of gratitude.

The shopkeeper was still in a dilemma, but seeing such a big smiling face, he couldn't help being in a good mood. He smiled and gave her an idea and said, "You go to shopkeeper Wang to sell, maybe he wants the rest of the half."

"Let's go." Zhang Xiaowan nodded quickly.

The shopkeeper calculated the money for her, twenty catties of meat, one hundred copper coins.

Zhang Xiaowan only counted twenty and held them, and said, "I owe my aunt eighty, this time I have to pay back the money."

"Didn't you say it's a good day to pay back? It's not yet time, take it." The shopkeeper smiled and wrapped the copper plate and stuffed it into her hand.

Zhang Xiaowan pursed her lips and smiled, and didn't refuse any more. She didn't know if her meat could be sold. It was a hot day, and the meat was not easy to sell. She still had to spend the money to raise two sheep in the town. They bought some goat milk and fed it to little sister Zhang.

The last time she came to the town, she learned from the cook's aunt that the sheep of the family with sheep in the town gave birth to lambs, so she made up her mind. She didn't grow any flesh at all, her face was still yellow, and she was not as thin as those white and fat babies Zhang Xiaowan had seen in her previous life.

Zhang Xiaowan was lucky. He sold ten catties of meat to Shopkeeper Wang at another inn, but the price was not as high as Shopkeeper Li. He only gave her four copper coins for one catty of meat, and gave her both. Forty copper plates.

However, pork is sold for four copper coins per catty. In this dynasty, there is no saying that wild pork is much more expensive. It's the same price as domestic pigs, and Zhang Xiaowan thinks it's acceptable.
