After dinner, Zhang Fu carried the snake meat in a backpack and went to the town with Jiang Xiaohe.

The villagers were envious when they saw them leaving the village.

I don’t know what good stuff the Zhang family brought back from the mountain. The snakes on the carrying pole in the morning would last them for a long time even if they didn’t sell them.

Jiang Xiaohe and Zhang Fu walked faster along the way, and the most important thing was that she felt relaxed all over.

When we arrived in town, the time was fine.

"Dad, why don't we just find a restaurant."

Zhang Fu nodded. Jiang Xiaohe didn't know which restaurants there were in the town, but she knew that since it was snake meat, she would naturally go to the largest restaurant because the customers of such large restaurants loved game.

Jiang Xiaohe and Zhang Fu ran directly to the only two-story restaurant in the town.

Zhang Fu was a little timid. After all, for a small person like him, who had never even been to a bun shop to buy a bun, how could he come to a restaurant like this?

Jiang Xiaohe noticed that he lowered his head even more.

He immediately said, “Dad, we are looking for a restaurant to do business, and we are no less than anyone else.”

Then he took Zhang Fu's backpack and said, "If you feel embarrassed, you can go for a walk in the town. I can go alone."

Zhang Fu shook his head subconsciously: "It's not easy for a woman like you to deal with them. With... with me here, at least they won't dare to bully you."

As he said that, he followed Jiang Xiaohe into the restaurant.

The waiter in the store thought that customers had arrived and came over to greet them with a smile. However, when he saw how the two were dressed, his smile suddenly fell and he looked at them with disdain: "We are here to eat, not to beg for food."

Jiang Xiaohe's smiling face suddenly turned cold, but when she thought of the snake meat in the basket, she smiled again: "Little Second Brother, I wonder if your shopkeeper is here. We want to do business with him."

"Looking for my boss?" the waiter looked up and asked them.

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded.

"Our boss is not someone you can just meet whenever you want. And what business can you have with our boss? Go away, don't disturb our business."

After saying that, he didn't want to pay any more attention to them. He pulled off the handkerchief on his shoulders and drove the two of them out without any mercy.

Jiang Xiaohe's smile suddenly disappeared. She snorted, looked up at the restaurant, and said to the waiter who looked down on others, "With a waiter like you, I think the owner of this restaurant is not a good person. Dad, let's go!"

After saying that, the two turned around and were about to leave.

The waiter immediately became unhappy and threw his handkerchief on the table: "You ignorant woman! Say what you just said again if you have the guts."

Zhang Fu just wanted to leave quickly, but Jiang Xiaohe turned around and looked at the waiter, saying unhappily: "Did I say something wrong? Aren't you too picky and look down on people? Or is this what your boss taught you? If your boss taught you, am I wrong to say this? If your boss didn't teach you this, he would have been blind to recruit you!"

The waiter was so angry that he wanted to fight with Jiang Xiaohe.

Jiang Xiaohe was not afraid of him.

Zhang Fu quickly held her back and apologized to the waiter: "Brother, she doesn't know how to talk, please don't..."

Before he finished speaking, the people beside him applauded: "Well said!"

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw a well-dressed man walking out. The man looked quite old and had a small abacus hanging on his waist.

The waiter in the shop next door immediately became obedient.

He shouted respectfully, "Boss, you are here."

The shopkeeper flicked his sleeves and snorted unhappily: "Is this how I usually teach you to talk to customers?"

The waiter immediately argued: "Boss, they are not customers."

"A visitor is a guest. Didn't I tell you that?"

The waiter stopped talking.

"Go away. Our restaurant can't accommodate someone like you who has a worse temper than the guests."

"No, shopkeeper, I'm wrong, I'm wrong, isn't that okay?"

The shopkeeper looked at him and said, "Why don't you apologize to them?"

The waiter immediately nodded and bowed to apologize to Jiang Xiaohe and Zhang Fu. Jiang Xiaohe didn't think it was a big deal, but Zhang Fu felt embarrassed.

The shopkeeper looked at Jiang Xiaohe and said, "Are you satisfied now, my guest?"

Jiang Xiaohe bowed slightly towards him: "The shopkeeper is a man who can do great things."

The shopkeeper stroked his beard and smiled: "Hahaha, you change your expression too quickly."

Then he waved at the waiter, telling him to get out.

"I wonder what business the girl wants to do with me?"

Jiang Xiaohe took the backpack off Zhang Fu's back and uncovered the cloth.

The shopkeeper took a look and said, "Wow, such a big snake?" There are many small snakes, but such a big one is rare.

Then he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that he is dead."

"The shopkeeper won't accept dead snakes?"

The shopkeeper shook his head slightly at her and said, "We will collect it, but it's dead now, so the meat won't be fresh anymore. Also, it should have been dead for nearly two hours, right? It's been so long, the skin won't be easy to peel."

Jiang Xiaohe realized that after all the talk, they were just trying to lower the price.

"Shopkeeper, although this snake is dead, it hasn't been dead for long. Besides, you should rarely see a snake this big, right?"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Miss, what you said is correct. However, snakes are indeed not comparable to other wild birds. Not many people want to eat them. I also say this. If you leave our restaurant, I'm afraid no one in other restaurants or inns will dare to take you in."

He had said this, so Jiang Xiaohe also spoke frankly: "Shopkeeper, just name the price directly?"

The shopkeeper wiped his beard and said, "Well, I'll give you two taels of silver, and the snake will be mine."

Two taels of silver? Jiang Xiaohe had been here for so long that she had a general idea of ​​money. One tael of silver in this era was equivalent to one thousand yuan in her era, so two taels of silver would be equivalent to two thousand yuan.

But looking at the shopkeeper's expression, it was obvious that he had lowered the price.

Zhang Fudu wanted Jiang Xiaohe to agree immediately.

Jiang Xiaohe pointed with one finger: "Five taels of silver!"

"Boss, our snake is so big, we can even make a snake banquet!"

The shopkeeper frowned and added more money: "Three taels!"

"Four taels!"

"Three taels and five cents! Girl, this price I offer is already the highest."

Jiang Xiaohe certainly understood that Zhang Fu was staring at her, wondering what she was still hesitating about.

"Shopkeeper, I promise you, but can you give me the snake gall?"

The shopkeeper didn't hesitate at all: "Of course!"

Then he asked the waiter to carry the basket to the back kitchen and told him, "Be careful, and tell the chefs to be careful not to break the snake gallbladder and damage the meat."

"understood."

Seeing that the people went to the back, the shopkeeper settled the money for Jiang Xiaohe at the counter.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at the three taels of silver and five hundred coins in her hand, feeling very excited. After half a month, she finally made some money.

If this money was planned well, it would be enough for their family's food for a year. However, it was still not enough for her. What she wanted was to make good use of the poor thinking of modern people and make some money in this era to buy land and build a house so that she could take good care of herself in her old age!
