Huo Xi saw Yang Fu's guarded face and guarded the basket behind him, so she quickly grabbed him. A smart person would know that there was something important inside at a glance. Stay calm.
He looked up at Mu Li and saw that he was sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed as a guard, with exquisite embroidery on his brocade clothes. He seemed to be a guard for a wealthy family.
I was overjoyed: "Brother, this is the bald butter you are talking about. It is made from fresh crabs, with paste, yellow and crab meat. It is made from more than three to four taels of large crabs. It is very fresh and fragrant.
! It can be served with rice, noodles, or made into dishes. One bite will make you want two more."
Mu Li couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, "Is it really so delicious?"
There is drama.
Huo Xi nodded fiercely, immediately unscrewed the lid and held it up in front of him: "Smell it, does it smell good?"
Mu Li took it and took a sniff, Niangle, it smells so good! The fragrance is quite fragrant, but there is a layer of oil on top, which is all white and you can't see the inside. How can this be delicious?
"How did you sell it?" Mu Yan saw that Mu had been gone for too long, so he came over with his hands behind his back and said calmly.
Huo Xi looked at him, "Niangle, where did this rich young man come from? He's so good-looking! This outfit can be as big as a big boat."
You have money! Hold on! Don’t be timid!
He immediately put up a smile and exaggerated the words he just said to Mu Li.
"I'm not going to lie to you, it's really delicious. You can eat a meal with just a little bit of chopsticks. It's not easy to get a can. It takes 20 or 30 live crabs to get one can. Your fingers will break when you open a can of meat...
"
Mu Yan glanced at her indifferently and did not take the jar of butter. He only interrupted: "Stop talking nonsense, how much does it cost?"
Huo Xi's eyes kept looking at him, and then at the two guards beside him. This was a fat sheep. It was neither white nor fat.
"This is half a catty, so you only need five taels of silver. There is also a one-catty package, which requires ten taels."
It’s great! It shouldn’t have been sold so much just now. It would have been great to save it until now!
Mu Yan glanced at her coldly, turned around and left.
Ah? Why are you leaving? Huo Xi was stunned.
Seeing that his two guards were following him, she felt anxious and couldn't let him run away! Finally, she caught a noble young man. Huo Xi ran after him.
Stopped in front of him: "Why did brother leave? Is it too expensive?"
Mu Yan looked at her indifferently: "I don't know how much crabs cost, but it's never more than five taels. It's just a pound of crab meat. I only order my 20 or 30 cooks to break one crab each."
, each person was rewarded with fifty cents, and at twelve o'clock they were all willing to happily open the crabs for me."
Huo Xi has a wrong tooth, the hateful feudal class! Bullying me and having no servants?
"The price of crabs is not expensive. For three to four taels of crabs, one tael of silver can buy a dozen of them. But it costs labor and time, and there are many other seasonings. They are cheap, so I might as well keep them for myself."
"Then you can keep it to yourself." Mu Yan turned around after saying that.
Huo Xi is so angry. The rich young master in front of him doesn't look like he has no money, so he is so stingy? Could it be that his family is in decline and in despair?
Mu Li glanced at her and knew what she was thinking, and coughed: "I know it's not easy for you to get in and out of the water, but you can't use our young master as a fat sheep to be slaughtered."
Huo Xi forced a smile at him: "Brother, it's really not easy to get a can. Look at my hands, they are full of wounds when I cut open a crab." She raised her hand to show him.
It's impossible to open a crab without getting hurt. There are big and small scars all over the little meaty hands.
Mu Li glanced at her scarred hand, feeling a little distressed.
This was the noble eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion, who was supposed to be raised in a richly decorated mansion, but now she was abandoned by her family and had to go out in public to earn a living.
Mu Yan glanced at her calmly, then looked away, with his hands behind his back and a cold face.
"Then tell us a real price and we'll buy it if it suits you. How many cans do you have left?" Mukan also expressed sympathy and said warmly.
Huo Xi smiled at Mukan: "Thank you, brother. We have three cans left, two of one pound and one of half a catty. How much money does brother want to buy?"
Before Mu Li Mukan could speak, Mu Yan said calmly: "Three taels of silver. Wrapped up."
Huo Xi's eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief.
He gasped for air, took two breaths, turned around and left bitterly.
Just say that this product is not bought sincerely! She sells half a catty for two taels, but this guy wants to make a round in three taels! Go to hell with the round! Who cares?
Yang Fu also glared at him angrily.
Just now I saw that their aura was so strong that I didn't dare to speak. Now I heard that they wanted to buy three cans of Bald Butter from them. I was so angry that I glared at them one by one, and then I trotted to follow Xi'er.
Why are you leaving? Mu Yan looked confused. When buying and selling things, isn't it necessary to bargain?
Mu Kan looked around but didn't look at him. Mu Li was quite helpless.
"Master, you just heard what she said. One tael of silver doesn't even cost half a catty of meat. You still want to spend one tael of silver to buy a bottle."
Mu Yan looked at Huo Xiqi's back as he walked away, and was a little dumbfounded. Did he give the price too low?
Seeing that he regretted it, Mu Li hurriedly chased after Huo Xi.
"Hey, little one, don't leave in a hurry."
Huo Xi took a few more steps before being grabbed by him.
"Our young master really wants to buy it, little one, please give me a price. If it tastes good, I will come to you to buy it in the future."
"You are not sincere." Huo Xi said angrily.
"Sincerely. We just returned to Beijing from the mainland. We don't know the price of this fresh river food. Don't mind, little one."
Seeing his soft words, Huo Xi felt better: "You only need to go to Nancheng and Beicheng to inquire and you will know. We only sell crabs on the Double Ninth Festival for dozens of coins each, one tael of silver, and the crab meat is removed."
Not even one can. And now that the weather is cold, I can’t catch a few crabs in a day.”
"Yes, we don't know the market, don't be surprised, little one. Just tell us a price, and if it's right, we'll buy them all, saving you the trouble of hunting around for customers."
Huo Xi rolled his eyes. He couldn't sell it too expensively, otherwise he would never come back if he left this time. How much would it cost? That noble man seemed to be hard to talk to.
He glanced at the proud young master who stopped over there.
But the price was cheap and I felt uncomfortable. I finally caught a fat sheep.
He rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not going to lie to you, we sell six taels of silver for one catty and three taels for half a catty. This half catty can be eaten for a long time. And it can be stored without opening it and placing it tightly.
It’s been a long time.”
Forget it, just raise the price by one tael for half a catty. Don't offend the other party. Ordinary people can't afford to offend nobles like them.
Yang Fu pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, feeling a little nervous.
Mu Li glanced at Mu Yan and said, "Okay, give it all to us. Let's take it back and try it first. If it tastes good, we'll come to you to buy it."
"Okay, thank you, big brother!"
Huo Xi was very happy when the money came in, and generously told several ways to eat it.
Mu Li thanked her, paid the money, held three jars of Bald Butter in his arms, and watched her uncle and nephew leave briskly.
Mu Yan also stared at them, and then looked at the three jars of butter, which were twelve taels more than what he had just paid, and felt unhappy.
