Chapter 691 Want to cause trouble for Bai Tong
Meng Po deliberately asked, "Are you scared?"
Su Nuan grinned and said, "This... I don't want to eat it."
Meng Po laughed, "I knew you wouldn't dare."
After saying that, she smiled again and said, "What about the delicious food? I don't eat these things either."
The stall owner is a fat uncle with a round head and his eyes narrow into slits when he smiles.
He smiled and said, "Yes, I got two today."
After saying that, he took out two fair little pigs from under the chopping board. Su Nuan recognized these, they were fragrant pigs from the mountains.
This kind of fragrant pig does not grow big, weighing only about 50 pounds, with thin skin and tender meat, and is best eaten roasted.
Meng Po frowned and asked, "Where is your wife? Why hasn't anyone roasted her yet?"
The stall owner scratched his head and said, "My wife's old illness has come back these past few days. She keeps coughing."
Su Nuan asked, "Is it a cough from an illness or a lung injury?"
The stall owner replied, "It's a lung injury, and it's caused a chronic illness."
Su Nuan nodded, "I have some lung-nourishing pills here. If you're not coughing up blood, one bottle will be enough. If you're coughing up blood, you'll need three bottles."
After saying that, she took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over.
The stall owner was stunned and looked at Meng Po.
Meng Po said, "Keep it. It's enough to buy ten pigs."
The stall owner immediately accepted it with a look of joy on his face, and thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, thank you."
Su Nuan put the fragrant pig away and said, "Wait, I'll roast it for you. It's guaranteed to be delicious."
Meng Po smiled and said, "Well, there is a kitchen over there, you can use it."
Su Nuan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw that it was a kitchen where three stalls were merged into one.
Meng Po continued, "Most people here cook their own meals. They can't afford to eat in restaurants, so this kitchen charges per person."
Su Nuan nodded, "You're really smart. You can even think of such a business."
She walked over and took a look. She saw that there was an oven. She asked, "After I finish preparing the fragrant pig, will the people here help me roast it?"
Meng Po looked over and saw that the stall owner was a middle-aged woman. She immediately smiled and said, "I, Su Niang, will naturally treat the people brought by Lady Meng Po well."
Su Nuan was stunned. "Su Niang? My last name is Su too. What a coincidence."
Su Niang's eyes softened a lot, and she smiled and said, "So you are a family. Don't worry, I will definitely not burn it."
Su Nuan nodded. She cleaned the little pig, marinated it with sauce, stuffed spices into its stomach, and then sewed it up.
After marinating for a while, Su Nuan took out a basin of crispy skin water and said, "Please brush it with a layer of water when you see the skin is dry when baking. You don't need to brush it when it's cooked."
Su Niang's eyes lit up as she said, "I've learned everything. No tuition, right?"
Meng Po smiled and said, "Just waive the stall fee, and we'll be even."
This Meng Po seemed to have a very high status in the ghost town. Su Niang nodded immediately, "Okay, the master has given the order, and I will do it."
Su Nuan picked up Meng Po again and said, "Let's go somewhere else."
Meng Po nodded and said, "I'm a little hungry, let's go buy some snacks."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, where do you say we should go?"
Meng Po pointed with her little hand, "Over there."
Next, Su Nuan hugged Meng Po and started to eat snacks. In the end, only two thousand were left of the ten thousand paper money for the dead.
Su Nuan sighed, "Money is really hard to spend."
Meng Po laughed, "It's hard to make money, but easy to spend it. It's the same everywhere."
Su Nuan nodded, "But I don't have money to bid on anything. I do have pills, will the auction house accept them?"
Meng Po nodded and said, "Yes, you can send it over now and let them estimate its value."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."
With Meng Po's guidance, Su Nuan easily found the auction house, which was located in Fengdu Restaurant.
The front of this restaurant is shaped like a ghost face, with sculptures of little ghosts on both sides, and the interior is also somewhat eerie and scary.
The bright red ground looked like a pool of blood, and the white tables and chairs looked like they were made of human bones.
After entering, the waiter had his face painted in all sorts of colors, looking like a little devil.
Su Nuan smiled awkwardly, "How can I eat in a place like this?"
Meng Po smiled and said, "There are many people eating here, look at those bowls."
Because it's not dinner time, there are no customers here.
Su Nuan looked at the bowls piled on the counter. Each one was made of a skull. Drinking from this? What would it taste like?
Unexpectedly, Bai Wuchang was the shopkeeper here. He saw Meng Po and said with a smile, "Why are you here together?"
Meng Po smiled and said, "It's rare to meet such an interesting and beautiful girl."
Bai Wuchang asked Su Nuan again, "Have you eaten candy?"
Su Nuan was startled, then remembered the candy Meng Po gave her and nodded, "I've eaten it, it's delicious."
Could it be that the candy has some other important function?
Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "Well, are you here to buy or sell something?"
Su Nuan took out a bunch of bottles and jars from her backpack. "These are the pills I made. I want to estimate their price."
Bai Wuchang probably didn't know much about medicinal herbs. He took a look and said, "Take it and follow me to the wing room."
Su Nuan nodded and put the medicine bottle back.
The rooms are on the second floor, and there are only four rooms on the entire second floor. The rest of the space is a hall with some shelves on which things are placed.
There were also quite a few people admiring the goods in front of the shelves, probably thinking of taking pictures of them.
Bai Wuchang brought them to the first room, where Hei Wuchang was sitting, reading a scroll of bamboo slips in his hand.
When Hei Wuchang saw Su Nuan and Meng Po, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why are you here together?"
Su Nuan put Meng Po down and said with a smile: "I'm here to sell some things. I want to get an estimate first to see if I can buy what I want."
Hei Wuchang nodded and said, "Bring it here and have a look."
Su Nuan put her backpack on the table and took out some bottles and jars.
Hei Wuchang opened them one by one and examined them. He asked in surprise, "Who prepared these medicines?"
Su Nuan pointed at her nose proudly and said, "Me."
As he was speaking, another person pushed the door open and said, "Mr. Hei, this woman said she has something to auction. Please give an estimate of the price."
Su Nuan turned around and saw Bai Tong. Bai Tong was also stunned when he saw Su Nuan.
But neither of them spoke.
Hei Wuchang waved his hand, and the person who brought Bai Tong bowed and retreated.
Bai Tong came in front of Hei Wuchang and placed something wrapped in a handkerchief on the table. "I'm going to auction this."
Hei Wuchang sealed the bottles and jars and carefully put them aside.
He picked up the thing wrapped in the handkerchief and opened it to reveal a white bracelet inside.
He frowned and looked through it for a while, then said, "This is just an ordinary mutton-fat jade bracelet. It's worthless in Ghost Town."
Bai Tong immediately said: "This is cold jade, not ordinary mutton-fat jade."
Bai Wuchang smiled and said, "Old Black, your body is cold and you can't feel the coldness of the cold jade. Let me take a look."
After saying that, he took the jade bracelet and looked at it, then frowned and said, "The coldness has almost dissipated. I can barely offer the lowest price, one thousand ghost coins."
Su Nuan felt that one thousand ghost money was equivalent to one thousand taels of gold, which was not cheap.
But Bai Tong was not happy and said, "There is no cold jade in the world that is better than mine. How can it be worth only one thousand taels?"
When Su Nuan heard her arrogant voice, she immediately felt like adding fuel to the fire.
