When He Yousheng saw Jiang Sining coming, his heart suddenly settled down and he immediately went up to greet her happily.
"Little girl, you are finally here." He Yousheng said, "If you hadn't come, I, a pig, really wouldn't know what to do!"
Jiang Sining laughed in his heart. This uncle was just like that. He didn’t even notice that he was calling himself a pig.
"Since it's agreed, I will definitely come."
"Hey, do you want this pig to be whole or cut up?"
Jiang Sining: ...
"Let's split it up."
"Okay, I'll do it right away!"
He Yousheng immediately started to cut up the pork. Although he used a small knife, he was very precise and skilled. He cut the joints perfectly in a few strokes, which perfectly demonstrated what it means to butcher an ox.
Jiang Sining once watched a surgeon perform surgery, and he saw that the surgeon was just as steady and precise.
It didn't take long before a pig was cut into small pieces, tied up one by one with thin ropes, and then weighed.
There were 183 jin of meat, which cost 12 wen per jin, for a total of 2196 wen.
I sold the offal half-and-gave it away for free, and received 200 wen, and 25 jin of lard for 625 wen.
There were several other pots of lively fish, weighing a total of 80 jin and costing 1600 coins.
"The total is 4621 coins. I'll charge you 4600 coins," He Yousheng said. "Except for the deposit of one tael of silver, I'll charge you 3600 coins."
Jiang Sining didn't expect that fish was a little expensive, probably because there were no big rivers in Gaochuan County and no one specialized in raising fish.
"Uncle, I'll give you an extra 100 wen, can you help me kill all the fish and clean them?"
“So many fish have been killed?”
"Correct."
"Sure, but forget about the wages. It's just a piece of cake."
Killing nearly 50 fish is no easy task.
After he killed the fish, Jiang Sining put it into a backpack and covered it with a layer of grass. In fact, he had secretly put the fish into the space.
Fish is different from pork. If it is left outside for a little while longer, it will become no longer fresh.
Finally, she took out 4 taels of silver and 700 copper coins and gave them to He Yousheng.
"Why is there an extra ounce? I already paid an extra ounce last time!"
"The extra money is for the next deposit. I want another pig in three days, and the same for fish."
Want more?
He Yousheng held the silver and couldn't believe his ears.
They just bought a pig today, and they want another one three days later. What kind of family are they?
He never dreamed that such great luck would fall on his head!
The vendors watching the excitement around were so envious that their eyes turned red.
You can earn at least a few hundred coins from one pig, and two pigs can earn you one or two taels of silver!
He Yousheng helped Jiang Sining call an ox cart and enthusiastically paid the fare.
Before he could leave, a meat vendor with a face full of flesh came over and said, "He Yousheng, you are rich now."
When he saw this person, He Yousheng's face changed color.
The man in front of him was called Zheng Qingqiu, and he was also selling pork at a stall in the market. Relying on the fact that he was the elder brother-in-law of the county lieutenant Cao Yanshui, he acted arrogantly in the market and no one dared to provoke him.
He definitely has no good intentions by standing up at this time.
"It's just a little bit of luck, it's not considered rich."
Zheng Qingqiu said: "But we are all neighbors. You got the meat, so shouldn't you give me some soup as well?"
"Mr. Zheng is joking..."
"I'm not kidding you!" Zheng Qingqiu's face darkened and he said in a cold voice, "I won't give you much of the pig three days later. Let her buy 20% from you, and buy the rest from me. You can also get the fish from me. What do you say?"
"Ah? This..."
He Yousheng was very disappointed after finally getting a big business, but now 80% of it was going to be taken away by him.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zheng Qingqiu continued to threaten: "It's okay if you don't want to, but you should go home and farm in the future."
After that, Zheng Qingqiu came to Jiang Sining again and said with a fake smile: "Little girl, you see, we have already discussed it. When you come to buy meat in three days, you will take 20% from him and 80% from me. I will also pack all the fish you want for you."
Seeing the ferocious look on this man's face, Jiang Yan and Qianqian were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.
But Jiang Sining was not afraid of such a guy, and asked coldly: "Who are you?"
"You asked who I am?" Zheng Qingqiu smiled and said, "It seems that you are really a country girl. Even I don't know you. But it doesn't matter. Just remember to buy meat from me in three days."
"I won't buy your meat."
"Not buying?" Zheng Qingqiu put away his fake smile and said, "Little girl, it's the same pork, what difference does it make where you buy it from? Why do you have to buy it from him?"
Jiang Sining laughed in his heart.
We are all human beings, so why are your words so excellent?
Even the act of taking advantage of one's power to bully others and steal their business can be described in such a refreshing and refined way.
So he asked back, "We are both human beings. You can sell your pork to anyone else. Why do you have to sell it to me?"
"you……"
Zheng Qingqiu was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect Jiang Sining to be so eloquent.
But he has always been arrogant, and he must get this deal today!
"Let me tell you this. If you don't buy from me in three days, then in the future..." Zheng Qingqiu looked at He Yousheng, whose face was pale, and said, "He will never be able to do business in this market again!"
He Yousheng saw Zheng Qingqiu's harsh words and was afraid that Jiang Sining would suffer a loss, so he hurried over to persuade her: "Little girl, I don't want to do your business anymore. You should buy from him. I will return the deposit to you!"
"No need." Jiang Sining said, "You have already received the deposit, so there is no reason to return it to me. I will not go to other people's homes in three days. As for whether to prepare or not, it's up to you."
After saying this, Jiang Sining said hello to the coachman and left the market leisurely.
After she left, Zheng Qingqiu looked at He Yousheng with a half-smile: "I heard that your son is seriously ill and needs a lot of money for treatment. As neighbors, I advise you to go back and think carefully. Don't let your He family... be cut off for a pig."
……
"Sister, that person just now was so fierce!"
On the ox cart, Jiang Yan and Qianqian were still feeling a little scared.
"He's a bad guy!" Qianqian said, "Just like grandma, he only knows how to bully people!"
"Sister, do we really need to buy another pig?" Jiang Yan asked, "Won't it go bad if we buy so many?"
"Don't worry, big sister, I found a very good place. The pork will not go bad for a year."
"Then..." Jiang Yan thought for a moment before asking, "Which store should we go to buy it in three days?"
"Of course, it's the one today."
"But that person said..."
"Xiaoyan," Jiang Sining said, "you are already 8 years old, you should know some truths. There are many bad people in this world, you can't expect others to help you resist, but you need to become tough yourself. If you can't even do this, you will be bullied by bad people all your life."
"But what if we can't win?"
"Then make yourself stronger."
"How can I become stronger?" Jiang Yan said, "I am still young now. By the time I become stronger, many years will have passed."
"When I say strong, I don't just mean strength," Jiang Sining said, "Do you think the emperor can beat the general in a fight?"
Jiang Yan shook his head: "I definitely can't win."
"Then why was the great general surnamed Si executed by the emperor, and even his entire family implicated?"
"Big sister," Jiang Yan blinked and asked, "You mean, you want me to be the emperor in the future..."
"Cough cough!"
Jiang Sining quickly interrupted his rebellious words.
You little rascal, you've only been wearing open-crotch pants for a few days and you want to be the emperor?
Why don't you go to heaven?
"You're right. When Huang Tian sees your efforts, he will bless you and protect you." Jiang Sining said, "But before that, you need to learn more, ask more questions, think more, have enough knowledge, and be smart enough. When you have learned something, you will find that this is more than a hundred times better than just fighting."
"Yes! I understand! Big sister, when we have money, can I go to school?"
Jiang Sining felt relieved.
This little brother is not too stupid and can think of things quickly.
But why do we need to wait to study?
"Come on, I'll take you to buy books now."
"Ok!"
"Qianqian also wants to study!"
Sitting in a rented ox cart, Jiang Sining took Jiang Yan and Qianqian to a bookstore. In addition to buying primers and the like, he also bought him writing tools.
No wonder it is said that in this world, reading is the privilege of the rich, and the things used by scholars are really not cheap at all.
Just buying a few books cost two taels of silver.
Pens, ink, paper and inkstones became even more expensive. A good brush cost several taels of silver, and the cheapest one cost one tael.
Jiang Sining was finally willing to take action. Both she and her grandfather wrote calligraphy, so there were naturally a lot of brushes and ink in the space. She let Jiang Yan use them first.
Next she went to the pastry shop and bought some snacks and some high-quality brown sugar. She had almost spent all the money she had earned this time.
When the money is spent, it's time to go back.
