The number one scholar is a piece of shit that everyone wants

Chapter 96 I’m about to become a carrot spirit

Ye Fanxing did not go home directly, but went to the blacksmith shop and customized a few small iron pots, iron basins, a stove, and a kettle.

These things are very ordinary and common, but the common ones refer to large or extra-large sizes. What he wants is just a small size.

After agreeing on a time to pick up the goods with the blacksmith and paying a deposit of two taels of silver, he drove his mule cart back home.

When passing through the city gate, he thought for a while and bought another cart of wood.

Although there are trees on the mountain in their village, it is very cold and there are fewer risks if they avoid going into the mountain.

Besides, at this time, how can we run an empty car?

When she returned home, Ye Fanxing found that the radishes in her home had not been sold, and she looked so happy.

These bags are not carrots, they are money!

He also learned from Song Haoming that the reason no one came to their house to buy radishes was not only because they thought they were too expensive, but also because Qian Lizheng had distributed all the radishes that they had given to the public today.

"That's great, I don't want to sell it yet!"

After Ye Fanxing finished speaking, he took a small wooden box from the mule cart and helped Song Haoming back into the house.

He briefly talked about the various news he heard from the town today, including the increase in food prices, and how he sold all the 120 bags of radishes.

"As usual, this is all whole money, it's yours to keep."

Song Haoming nodded helplessly. He knew that his husband loved money. The main reason he gave the money to him was that he was afraid that he would not be able to help spending more.

Ye Fanxing handed the small wooden box to Song Haoming and touched it twice reluctantly.

Song Haoming was a little stunned. The weight of the box was wrong. The silver bills shouldn't be so heavy. He opened the box and saw two gold ingots weighing five taels each.

"Husband, this?"

"I was afraid that I would have no place to exchange the silver notes in the future. Thinking that gold is more valuable than silver, I simply exchanged them for sixty taels of gold."

Song Haoming admired his young husband's imagination very much, but the possibility he mentioned was not impossible.

But where is he going to hide the gold?

He praised sincerely, "My husband is really thoughtful. When he goes to town again, I will exchange the other banknotes."

"it is good."

In the next two days, Ye Fanxing did not go out and started making various radish products at home.

Dry radish slices, radish shreds, radish strips, and radish tops.

Two large jars and four small jars of pickled radishes and radish tops were also used.

In order to use up more radishes at home, not only the vegetables but also the staple food they ate these two days were mainly radishes.

Such as large meat buns with radish tops, steamed dumplings with shredded radish, radish meatballs, etc.

The result of eating too many radishes was that the gas was passed too smoothly, so much so that the five of them plus two children all burped and farted with radish-smelling radishes!

Ye Fanxing felt that if they continued like this, they would all turn into carrot spirits!

On September 29th, Ye Yushan and his wife, Shen Bai and his son, and Song Haoming's family of three all went to the town.

Shopping is a small matter. The main purpose is to stroll around. Tomorrow is the first day of October. The cold wave comes with the early winter. It will be very difficult to go out in the future.

The streets of Chiding Town were filled with people at all grain stores. Although complaints were heard one after another, no one left.

"You guys are really too mean. Ten kilograms of medium-quality coarse grains, and you want a hundred coins?"

"If you don't buy it, there are people who will. If you say we are cheating, you can ask other grain stores about the prices!"

"With a hundred coins, you can buy five pounds of second-rate food at best!"

"If our boss wasn't kind-hearted, we wouldn't be able to sell this grain to you at the original price..."

The waiter talked a lot, all about how kind and nice their boss was.

Seeing that the people behind him kept urging him, the man was afraid that he had gone to another store. Just as the waiter said, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and buy fifty kilograms.

Ye Fanxing was a little dumbfounded. Isn’t the increase in food prices a bit too much?

He thought that the people's money was now mainly used to store grain, but no one should be hoarding meat, so the price should not be so outrageously high.

They first came to Jinji Grocery Store and picked out some useful items. To be more precise, they were all miscellaneous and inconspicuous, but useful items.

Of course, the so-called applicability ultimately depends on its price.

They came to the vegetable market again. There were only a few people setting up stalls, but the prices were so high that only a fool could afford them.

Walking forward, I saw a lot of meat piled up on the two meat stalls, but no one came forward to ask.

Seeing Ye Fanxing and his group coming over, a fat, strong man with a beard, holding a machete, hurried forward to greet them.

"You guys want to buy some meat. The meat in my house is very fresh..."

If it weren't for his introduction, Ye Fanxing would have thought he was a robber!

Ye Fanxing didn't say whether to buy it or not. She chatted with the big man for a while first. During the conversation, she learned that their meat was originally delivered to several restaurants in the town.

Unexpectedly, these companies all cited poor business as an excuse to temporarily stop buying meat, and even gave them the previous deposit as compensation.

And the price of this pork is five cents more expensive than before!

This price is simply too fair nowadays. After all, meat is not a necessity in any dynasty!

Ye Fanxing waved his hand and bought all the meat from the two stalls!

There were four pigs in total, with a net weight of 533 catties, and 11 taels and 660 coins of silver.

The stall owner rarely saw such a happy customer, so he gave away pig offal and other items as a reward.

Ye Fanxing asked Ye Yushan to buy six large backpacks. He was the owner of the pork stall and cut the meat into the sizes he wanted.

It was the first time for the butcher to meet a customer with such a request, so he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Ye Fanxing pointed at two pieces of meat and explained, "I call this part of the back tenderloin. The meat here is tender and fat and lean. It is suitable for braising, mixing with cold dishes, pickling, marinating, or making twice-cooked pork. The fat part can be used to make sweet stewed pork, etc."

"The belly is pork belly. The meat in this part is five layers of fat and lean. The meat is tender, with fat and lean alternating, and thin skin. It is suitable for roasting, steaming, salty braised pork, braised pork, Dongpo pork, etc."

After thinking for a while, he added, "It's mainly based on the quality of the meat. Some people like lean meat, some like fat. It's hard to satisfy everyone."

He could also understand why there was no fine division at this time. After all, everyone liked big fat pieces of meat. If it was divided as he did, who would the lean meat be sold to?

Ye Fanxing sorted the cut meat into different categories and put them into the backpack bought by Ye Yushan. When she got home, she had to ask Song Haoming to put labels on them, otherwise the pieces of meat would be almost the same size and he had not distributed them clearly.
