Chapter 48 The Jiang Family is about to be bullied
Feng looked down.
This jade pendant and necklace were originally given by Mr. Han to his daughter, saying that it was a token of love between the Xiao and Han families.
Since this thing came into the family, this was the first time that Xiao Nuobao "favored" it.
Feng didn't think much about it, just thinking that the daughter was a little girl who loved beauty and cherished this beautiful thing, so she gently helped her put it on, and then called the second son and his wife to go into the city.
Along the way, the cold wind blew along her cheeks, scraping like an ice knife and hurting her flesh.
Xiao Nuobao was held tightly in her mother's arms, but she didn't feel any wind at all. She grabbed the jade pendant and played with it, and fell asleep comfortably.
Feng's face showed anticipation. She rubbed her eyes that were red from the wind and chatted with Li Qiqiao about the price of the shiitake mushrooms.
"Even in the rainy season, it would be at least 300 wen per catty." Li Qiqiao lowered her eyes and calculated: "Now it's winter, and shiitake mushrooms are even rarer. Mother, in my opinion, even if it is sold at 600 or 700 wen per catty, it's not a problem."
Feng thought about it and still shook her head.
"Although this mushroom is rare, it's just a mushroom after all. 600 or 700 wen is enough to buy a big bag of good white rice. We can't be too greedy."
As a farmer, Feng is a practical person.
In this famine year, compared with white rice and meat, a basket of mushrooms should not be overpriced no matter how delicious it is.
Feng thought about it and said, "Ordinary people may not know this, and even if they know it, they may not be willing to buy it. We should send it to the wine shop. Only the rich guests can afford it. Mother, as long as it is not less than 300 coins per catty, we can sell it."
Li Qiqiao thought it was okay.
Even if it was 300 coins per catty, their basket of nearly 20 catties could be sold for about 6 taels, which is already worth it.
There are many big wine shops in Yuncheng.
Among them, the most famous one is Baiweizhai.
For such precious game, I think only the guests of Baiweizhai are willing to spend a lot of money to taste it.
So Feng asked Jiang Fenghu to go there.
There were many guests in Baiweizhai, and they were all toasting.
After entering the store, Feng did not make a big deal, and only found the waiter to explain the purpose of the visit.
Seeing that the seller was just an ordinary peasant woman, the shopkeeper of Baiweizhai did not show up, but the second shopkeeper in a gray silk robe raised his head and took a look.
After seeing the green mushrooms in the basket, the second shopkeeper immediately showed greed in his eyes.
It is amazing that such a rare thing can be found in the cold winter!
"Okay, these mushrooms are fresh enough, we will take them." He immediately smiled crookedly.
Feng was not surprised, so she asked, "How much do you want to ask? If the price is right, we will sell them all to you and won't look at other houses."
The second innkeeper looked up and down at Feng's clothes, revealing a look of contempt.
"Your mushrooms look okay, so I'll give you 20% higher price than in the market, 15 cents per pound, put them all down to me." He sneered, touching his chin.
15 cents?
Feng's face froze.
"15 cents is just the price of ordinary hazel mushrooms." Li Qiqiao hurriedly stood up and said, "My family is very experienced, you should look carefully before you speak!"
The second innkeeper curled his lips and tutted twice, his eyes like a venomous snake sweeping over the Jiang family.
Some country folks. Once
you enter Baiweizhai, you get whatever he says, and it's not up to those country bumpkins to make demands.
He can sell a plate of Jianshouqing for ten taels, that's the skill of Baiweizhai.
Could it be that these poor ghosts also want to make a few more taels from it? Don't they even consider whether they deserve it!
The second shopkeeper laughed twice and immediately shouted: "You country woman are really funny. How can you get Jianshouqing in the middle of winter? You want to cheat money, but you don't even know what kind of place we are Baiweizhai!"
"You!" Li Qiqiao blushed with anger.
Feng stopped her and said, "Second wife, it's not right to get involved in other people's territory. Since he doesn't recognize it, let's go to another store to sell it."
Seeing that Feng was about to leave with the things, the second shopkeeper suddenly changed his face and pressed the big basket hard.
"Today, sell it for 15 cents a pound, and I will spare you. Otherwise, don't blame me for reporting you to the police and saying that you deliberately cheated!" The second shopkeeper threatened.
Feng realized that things were not good.
It seemed that she had encountered a black-hearted store that took advantage of its
power to bully others. She tightly grasped the basket, with a gloomy face, and refused to let the other party succeed no matter what.
"No sale!"
The noise here was getting louder and louder. The guests in the restaurant began to look around, and many had already come to watch.
Xiao Nuobao was so angry that her face puffed up.
The world is really going downhill, even the dogs of rich people are so despicable.
But if you want to bully the Jiang family, you have to see if you have the ability!
She grabbed the jade pendant and deliberately waved it twice, knowing that the "dog-beating stick" was coming soon.
Just when the second shopkeeper wanted to use force, the voice of a young man suddenly came from the crowd.
"Stop, it's just a small transaction, why does Baiweizhai have to make such a big fuss!"
"Besides, I have something to confirm." As soon as
the words fell, a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes was seen, holding his head high and chest out, running straight towards Xiao Nuobao.
The young man ignored the second shopkeeper and stared at the jade plaque on Nuobao's chest. He looked up in surprise when he was sure that the young man was wearing the tokens of the two families.
"May I ask who you are and how come you have the tokens of our Xiao family?" Xiao Lanyi asked respectfully.
Little Nuobao waved his hands and smiled sweetly: "This is given to me by Han Susu. Do you know Han Susu?"
Uncle Han?
Xiao Lanyi asked hurriedly: "Is it Master Han Shang of the Han family?"
Is he the uncle of his younger uncle?
Feng shook off the second shopkeeper's dirty hand and nodded immediately: "That's right, this item was given to us by Master Han Shang. We saved Master Xiao Yi before, so Master Han gave us this token."
At that time, Han Shang only said that this token could be used to dispatch any of the students in the Xiao and Han families. Although it sounded powerful, Feng Shi didn't think much about it.
She didn't want to repay the favor. She
just wanted to give it to the young lady as an ornament to play with.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Lanyi was excited at this time.
"So it was you who saved my uncle!"
"Please accept my respects first!" He bowed immediately.
He had heard about this matter a long time ago.
Xiao Yi, the golden nugget, was almost kidnapped. It was a major event that almost broke the world in the Xiao and Han families, and it had already spread everywhere.
After saying that, Xiao Lanyi frowned and glared at the second shopkeeper.
"I am a descendant of the side branch of the Xiao family, and I am young. My name is Xiao Lanyi. Since you have the token of my Xiao family, I will definitely protect you!" Xiao Lanyi patted Feng's
chest. Feng was delighted.
Then she remembered, no wonder the daughter insisted on wearing the jade pendant... This little darling is really amazing!
Xiao Lanyi stepped forward and took a look at the things in the basket.
Sure enough, it was the Jianshouqing, which was worth one tael per catty in Beijing.
It was not an ordinary mushroom at all.
He frowned and rushed to the second shopkeeper: "Well, you are such a lousy shopkeeper. You are trying to bully others by taking advantage of your power and confusing right and wrong. This lady is obviously a traitor! Your Baiweizhai costs thousands of gold for a plate. Don't you need this little money to buy ingredients?"
Seeing that Xiao Lanyi was obviously a nobleman, the second shopkeeper was afraid of the strong and bullied the weak, and he couldn't help but be frightened.
He took a few steps back.
"Ah...really, really a traitor? Oh, then it must be my poor eyesight. Don't accuse me of bullying, young master. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
Xiao Lanyi hated those who took advantage of their power the most.
Seeing that this guy was still trying to make up a lie to prevaricate, he immediately clenched his fists!
