Chapter 91 Choice
"Brother is really sincere, how about this, see how much you are willing to sell these crickets, let's see if we can buy them." One person said.

"Yes." Another person nodded in agreement.

An Tiemu remembered the news from An Ronghe, and was about to estimate the price, but was stopped by An Xiu'er, who spoke first, "It's better for the two members to bid, and the two members also saw the competition between our few crickets. Dou, I must have made up my mind a long time ago, if the price is right, we will sell them to you, you know, we have a cricket and we are invincible!"

Well, in fact, they only participated in one match today, but this was by no means the first time they fought, after all, crickets are also full of fighting blood in their bones.

"We are willing to buy the other six crickets at a price of five taels of silver. As for the first one, we have to discuss it." One of the fatter people said.

An Tiemu looked at An Xiu'er, both of them had surprise in their eyes, without it, both of them were stunned by the price, to be honest, except for the moment when she made up her mind, An Xiu'er had never seen such a price. A lot of money, not to mention anything else. At that time, she wanted to save her father's life, save him from the chores, and exchange her body for money. If she knew that the money was so easy to earn, why did she come here? .

But if she had so much money at that time, she might not have met Zhang Zhen'an, and she would not regret marrying him.

An Tiemu was also thinking about this. He thought that if he really had so much money, he would take his daughter-in-law to the county town to see a doctor and pick up two medicines.

In fact, Mrs. Dong has been childless for these years, because she would have broken her body after giving birth to Erya, and she couldn't take good care of her. If she can take two sets of medicine, she still has a chance to conceive.

The two had their own concerns, and they didn't speak for a while. Seeing this, the man dressed outside thought that the two were unwilling, so he laughed again and said: "Okay, let's not talk so much, let's introduce ourselves first." For a moment, my surname is Wu, and I am not an outsider, we are just the stewards of a fighting arena, you can call me steward Wu."

"My surname is Deng." The thinner middle-aged man also cupped his hands at the two of them.

An Xiu'er and the two came back to their senses, quickly returned their salutes to them, and introduced themselves: "My surname is An, this is my younger sister, this is my nephew, he just came to watch the fun."

"So it's Brother An and Ms. An. It's a pleasure to meet you. It makes my nephew go crazy. It's really cute." The two of them were courteous again, and asked Xiaoer to bring a plate of pastries, and handed a piece to him. After An Ronghe, he started talking about business with An Tiemu.

"The two of you don't know, in fact, we can only take your six crickets to the county town and sell them to those who are good at crickets, so five taels of silver is not too little, and we have to earn some after a hard trip. "Wu Guanshi said with a simple and honest face.

Steward Deng glanced at Steward Wu, and said very straightforwardly: "Yes, actually, I won't hide it from you, the real valuable is this cricket."

"We plan to buy your cricket, but let it go to the arena, but the price is not negotiable, so we invite you to go to the county town, and many people in other towns will take the cricket to fight, We will spend 100 taels of silver to buy the cricket that wins in the end, what do you think?"

"100 taels?" An Xiu'er's eyes widened, she had never seen so much money before, and she almost couldn't believe her ears, "Can an ordinary cricket be worth so much money? "

"Of course, as long as it's valuable." Manager Wu laughed.

An Xiu'er asked again, "Then what if you don't get No.1?"

"We will also give you a certain amount of money." Manager Wu said with a smile: "If you are willing to go to the county for a try, then you can go with us later, if you are not willing, then we are willing to spend five taels Silver will buy it."

"Does that mean we can have five taels of silver no matter what?" An Xiuer asked again.

"This is not necessarily true. You probably don't know that most of the crickets that go to the arena are very vicious. They might bite your crickets. If they are intact, we can sell them for money. If they are bitten , we have no way to buy it, and we can only give you one hundred Wen as travel expenses." Wu Guanshi explained to the two of them again.

An Xiu'er couldn't make a decision, so she set her eyes on An Tiemu, "Second brother, what do you think?"

An Tiemu thought again and again, as an ordinary farmer, 100 taels was really attractive to him, but he didn't think that the cricket he caught would definitely get No.1, after all, the cricket he domesticated The time is not long. If it is rational and safe, it is better to take the five taels of silver for insurance.

But he was a little bit reconciled, after all, he was a fan of it, and he always wanted to see the grand occasion and fight it out. Besides, even if he lost, what if his cricket was not injured?At that time, it may be able to sell again.

"Sister, what do you think?" An Tiemu looked at An Xiu'er again.

Seeing this, An Xiu'er laughed, "Second brother, you must have already made up your mind, why bother to ask me? This cricket was caught by you, second brother, of course it is up to you to decide, no matter what, my sister and I There's nothing else to say."

"Okay, then I choose to go to this arena to have a look." An Tiemu spoke loudly, as if to convince his heart.

"This little brother is indeed a straightforward person. Well, let's have lunch here and leave in the afternoon." Manager Wu said immediately.

"There is no need to eat, we have to go back and explain to our parents, so as to save the two old people from worrying." An Tiemu refused.

"That's the reason, then you go back first, we'll wait for you here in the afternoon." Manager Wu said with a smile.

Seeing that An Xiu'er and the two of them were about to leave, the relatively taciturn Guanshi Deng took out five taels of silver from his purse and said, "These five taels of silver are for buying you crickets, you take it first, and give it to the two of you when you go back." It’s good for the old man to buy some gifts.”

"Thank you." An Tiemu took the money, only carrying the cage containing the boss's cricket, and the three of them went downstairs together.

When they got out of the inn, the three of them didn't have to pretend anymore, their eyes were all bright, An Xiu'er still felt that she was dreaming, she couldn't believe it, she just murmured: "Second brother, what's wrong with you?" Is the silver real or fake?"

"Really, it can't be fake." An Timu returned firmly.

"You don't even know about money yourself, so you're still so confident?" An Xiu'er snorted softly, but in fact she also believed that the money was real.

"There are so many people watching, how dare they cheat." An Tiemu glanced at An Xiu'er, and said: "You can earn half of the money, and when you go home, the second brother will share half with you."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." An Xiu'er was not shy, but said generously: "I am short of money to build a house, but the money came in time."

"That's right." An Tiemu also laughed, he really felt very happy today, he didn't expect that he really got money by catching crickets, since then, no one dared to say that he raised crickets as a plaything Shangzhi.

"But second brother, I took the money, how much money that cricket can make in the afternoon, don't give it to me, I just follow you to the county town to watch the fun." An Xiu'er added.

Originally, she just wanted Tong'an Tiemu to make a little money, but how could she think that these could be sold for a lot of money, especially today's figure of 100 taels of silver, it really scared her.

She never knew that it was so easy to make money. She thought of her father, who worked desperately in the field, and never saw two worms all year round, but now they can sell so much money for just a few worms. She felt a little confused about the world.

Although it was she who followed An Tiemu to catch the crickets, she never thought it would be so smooth at first. She thought more about the situation that she could encounter when setting up a stall yesterday. Five or ten coins a piece, she really didn't expect to be able to sell it for so much money.

If I had known earlier, this cricket makes so much money, so why would it be so difficult to let her catch it all night?
But it doesn't seem too late now.

It is a good thing to make money, and it is time to celebrate it, so the three of them went to the small bank in the town to exchange for loose silver, and then used the money to buy two jugs of wine for Mr. Two catties of meat, An Tiemu is going to make a big purchase today, An Ronghe almost drools when he thinks of the dishes he can make for lunch today.

After buying something, the three of them were ready to go home. They were in a good mood along the way, and naturally it was smooth sailing. Everything they saw was interesting, and they felt like they would be home in a while.

When they got home, An Tiemu took out the money, and told Mrs. Liang what had happened to Mrs. Liang. The two Mrs. Liang were really surprised. They didn't believe that a worm could be sold for such a high price. If An Xiu hadn't If An Ronghe and An Ronghe were present, they almost wondered whether An Tiemu did something sneaky to get these one silver coins.

Although the reaction of the two was within the expectations of An Tiemu and the other three, the three of them still couldn't laugh or cry. An Ronghe even started giggling. Speaking of the reaction of everyone in the family when they heard about this, at this moment, seeing that the reactions of Mrs. Liang and the others were exactly as they had expected, how could they not help but laugh.

"Okay, mother, don't doubt second brother, I promise, it's the same as what he said, you go and cook, we are all starving to death, and we have to go to town in the afternoon." An Xiuer Acting like a baby to Mrs. Liang.

Liang was puzzled: "What are you going to do in the county this afternoon?"
