Traveling through time and space to meet a replacement bride? But I’m a man!

Today, Xiaoman and Wang Cuijuan accompanied Xu Wenyan to the county.

Chen Sanlin, Xiaohu and the others will go to the pond again today to see if there are any more triangular fan clams. If they can find a few more, wouldn't that be better than selling ramen?

There has not been enough rain this year. It has been almost a month since it rained. The weather was gloomy early in the morning and there was not a cloud in the sky.

Wang Cuijuan was sitting in the car, holding a backpack full of crabs in her arms.

I still remember the first year I sold these crabs, I made the deal with the beautiful boss of Baihualou, and each crab cost seven cents.

Of course, those were crabs that had not been processed yet. Now that he wanted to make them into finished products, the price would naturally double. Xu Wenyan decided to sell the crabs in two portions.

One portion costs eight cents. It is divided into two portions because some male crabs have roe. If it is divided into four portions, some will not have roe.

Let the customers choose the flavor, fried or steamed.

Today, half a bucket of oil was prepared, and Xu Wenyan planned to add French fries, still three cents per serving.

The forest was foggy in the early morning and the weather was stuffy. Xu Wenyan felt like he was in a sauna.

I staggered to Qing'an Hall. The fog around me had not yet dissipated, but I saw someone waiting in the restaurant.

Xu Wenyan walked in with the backpack and saw the book box on the ground at a glance: "Little book boy, why are you here so early today?"

The scholar stood up and nodded: "Well, today is the day of my college examination. If the results are good, I can go to the city to take the imperial examination."

Xu Wenyan put down the backpack and said, "Haha, study hard and strive to get a good academic record. Today, I will give you a snack for free. When you pass the college test, I will treat you to a meal for free."

"I will definitely not let the store owner down." The scholar bowed and thanked Xu Wenyan.

Because it was an exam, Xu Wenyan gave a steamed crab. After all, his business was built up by this young scholar, so this gift should be given.

"Brother Xu, do you still have crabs?" Jia Anqing poked his head out from behind Xu Wenyan and looked at the crabs being cleaned in the basin, his eyes lighting up.

Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "Have you eaten it before? I'll fry half of it for you later."

"Brother Xu is the best!" Jia Anqing put away his smile and looked confused for a while before saying, "Brother Xu, I want to give you a suggestion."

"You said."

"That Mr. Zhang is probably not a good person. The money of the Zhang family is not legitimate. If you want to partner with them, you must be cautious."

Jia Anqing could see that Zhang Chengjin and the Wei family wanted to interfere in Xu Wenyan's business. After all, Xu Wenyan was very good to him, and he didn't want Xu Wenyan to be involved further.

After listening to Jia Anqing's words, Xu Wenyan nodded: "Well, I will be cautious. It can't be considered cooperation. At most, I will supply them, and my partners will not be just these two.

If something happens to them, I can’t be held responsible. We only have a vested interest in each other.”

"Okay, Brother Xu, just be careful."

Xu Wenyan couldn't help but smile as he looked at the child's earnest expression. If he had had such a friend in his previous life, his life would have been much more colorful.

Lively, humorous and knows how to make yourself happy.

After seeing off the scholar, Xu Wenyan received a few more old customers. He gave crab legs to each of them. After all, these crabs can be sold from summer to autumn.

As long as the reputation and taste are spread, there is no need to worry about making more money.

Sometimes you have to give up the small to gain the big.

Just as expected, the crab business is pretty good. After all, the economy has just recovered and in a few days, everyone will gradually become richer.

After Xiaoman and Wang Cuijuan showed him how to fry crabs, Xu Wenyan gave a few instructions and went out. He still had three pearls in his pocket, so he was ready to go to the nearest jewelry store or pawn shop.

Because Qing'an Hall is located in the central area of ​​the county, the jewelry store is not far away.

It is a very luxuriously decorated store in the county, with blue bricks and red tiles, and grand decoration. After entering, you can see rows of counters and each square stand is filled with a lot of jewelry.

Customers can only watch from a distance, and then the clerk will bring the items out.

Looking at the four big men holding wooden sticks outside the door, I believe no one would do something stupid like robbery here.

Generally, those who robbed jewelry stores were mostly beaten to death, and even if they were not killed, they would be left disabled.

"Young man, are you planning to buy some jewelry? You look so pretty, are you planning to buy some for your wife?" The speaker was a middle-aged man in brown cloth.

The man had a half-long beard and a gentle smile.

Xu Wenyan shook his head and took out a pearl from his pocket: "Boss, I want to appraise the treasure."

"Oh, no problem, no problem." The middle-aged man carefully took the pearls and said calmly, "This is a pearl. This color is really rare.

Purple clouds surround it, and the pearl light is saturated, but the pearl is not quite round. "

The man's words were very pertinent, so Xu Wenyan asked directly about the price: "Boss, how much do you think this pearl is worth?"

"The color is good, and the pearls are real. I can give you three taels of silver."

After saying that, Xu Wenyan snatched the pearl back from the middle-aged man: "Boss, do you think I'm a fool?"

The middle-aged man's eyes were wandering and his heart was tense. He didn't know how this country boy in linen clothes could refuse these three taels of silver?

Although such pearls are not round, they have good color. If I sell them myself, I will get at least six taels of silver. I didn't expect that this young man knows something about this.

"Haha, then little brother, how much do you think your pearl is worth?

Xu Wenyan didn't have a bottom price in mind. He did this purely to defraud the boss. He knew nothing about the prices of modern pearls, but he didn't expect that the boss would actually fall for it.

Judging from the boss's expression, we need to add at least one or two more taels.

"Six taels."

The middle-aged man's eyes darkened. How could he continue to run a jewelry business if he sold it for only 6 taels? "Brother, you are making fun of me."

"Haha, wasn't it the boss who made fun of me first?"

After these words were spoken, the middle-aged man coughed twice and said nothing more.

Xu Wenyan smiled again: "How about this, four taels and five hundred coins, I won't sell it for less."

"This price is still a bit high, but I get along well with this guy, so I'll just consider it as teaching you, my friend."

Xu Wenyan rolled his eyes in his heart. Why the hell, it’s all your money? What’s the point of talking about making friends? Even though he thought so in his heart, he had to put on a smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, I knew I got along well with the boss as soon as I came in."

The middle-aged man excitedly took the pearls and paid for them: "Brother, come to me again next time."

"That's necessary!"

Afterwards, Xu Wenyan went to the pawnshop again. The money offered by the pawnshop was lower than that of the jewelry store. After all, the risk was also greater there.

Xu Wenyan would not be so foolish as to sell all three. He is not a fool. With such a large sum of money, he might kill someone to silence him.

In ancient times, doing this kind of thing was extremely common, especially for jewelers like this.

Xu Wenyan didn't know how those time travelers could be so brave as to sell everything at once and earn dozens or hundreds of taels.

He is really lucky.

Otherwise, you would say that the protagonist has a strong halo, why wouldn’t he be killed?
