Chapter 35 Send Me Some Pig Offal
Seeing how eager the shopkeeper was to keep her, Su Banxia guessed that her deerskin was far less than fifty coins.
He dared to quote me that price just now because he thought I was young and didn't know the market, and wanted to fool me with my deer skin.
Thinking this through, Su Banxia instantly lost any goodwill towards the shopkeeper. Although she had obtained the deer very easily, she didn't want to be fooled. So, Su Banxia looked at the shopkeeper and said in a deep voice:
"Then why don't you raise the price? Would that be appropriate?"
The shopkeeper looked at the deerskin in Su Banxia's hand, pondered for a moment, then blushed and held up his hand to make an eight.
Su Banxia smiled.
"Eight hundred coins?"
The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Oh dear, young lady, you flatter me! A deerskin like this doesn't sell for eight hundred coins, it's eighty, eighty coins!"
Su Banxia pouted. She didn't want to linger here any longer. It had already taken her half an hour to walk from Sujia Village to the county town. If she went back to buy some rice, flour, and cooking oil, it would be dark by the time she got back to Sujia Village.
So Su Banxia waved her hand and said:
"I'm a straightforward person. I don't need more of this leather. I'll only sell it to you for one hundred coins. If you buy it, we'll exchange money for goods. If you don't buy it, don't stop me from going to the next shop!"
Seeing Su Banxia's resolute words, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and snatched the leather from Su Banxia's hand, nodding as he said:
"Okay, I'll buy it!"
As he spoke, he instructed the waiter beside him:
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and go get the silver for this young lady!"
The waiter nodded hurriedly and withdrew.
The shopkeeper stroked the deerskin in his hands with obvious delight, then looked at Su Banxia and said:
"Young lady, if you ever have any good leather in the future, be sure to bring it to our shop first. I will definitely give you a good price."
Su Banxia smiled and nodded, then took the money handed to her by the shopkeeper and counted it. It was exactly one hundred coins. Su Banxia bowed to the shopkeeper and left with Su Shiyan.
In the short time that had passed, Su Banxia wondered where Su Mo had gone. She figured that Su Mo was a grown woman who knew the way home, so she probably wouldn't get lost. Therefore, she didn't look for her and went straight to the grain and oil shop with Su Shiyan.
With little money on hand, Su Banxia could only buy a small amount of food for now, and then bring any good items she found back to the county to exchange for silver.
Su Banxia bought some daily necessities such as rice, coarse noodles, millet, and rice bran. Since she was still living at Old Su's house, she couldn't openly eat too well.
After all, the second branch of the family has quite a few members, and they have to work all day, so they naturally need to eat more. Buying them some coarse grains to eat is a hundred times better than always eating the black steamed buns that no one wants at Old Su's house.
While Su Shiyan was moving things, Su Banxia secretly bought some white flour and stored it in her space. After all, she had transmigrated from the future and couldn't stand eating coarse grains every day. Buying some white flour for herself was a good way to improve her diet occasionally.
After buying rice, flour, cooking oil, and other necessities, Su Banxia went to a place that sold vegetable seeds and bought all sorts of them. She planned to plant some at the foot of Dwarf Mountain and keep the rest for herself in her spatial dimension.
This way, the entire second wife's family can eat vegetables.
After buying the vegetable seeds, Su Banxia took Su Shiyan to the butcher shop and used the remaining silver to buy an ounce of meat and four large bones. After buying the items, Su Banxia looked at the pile of pig offal in the corner of the cutting board and swallowed hard.
"Shopkeeper, nobody wants your pig offal, right? Could you give me some?"
Upon hearing this, the butcher glared at Su Banxia and said unhappily:
"Young lady, how can you talk like that? My pig offal is very popular, ten coins a pound and plenty of people want to buy it!"
Su Banxia was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this.
"No, do you guys know how to make this? Can you do it well?"
The butcher glanced at her as if she were a fool.
"Little girl, are you really stupid or just pretending? You've never eaten salted pig offal before, have you?"
As he spoke, the butcher looked Su Banxia up and down pitifully before saying:
"Go to Old Cao's Salt and Brine Shop at the west end of the city and buy some to try, it's delicious."
Su Banxia was speechless. These time-travel novels are all lies! Didn't they say that ancient people didn't eat pig offal? What, they're even using brine to cook pig offal?
Su Banxia was feeling a little embarrassed at this point, and could only blush as she spoke:
"Then shopkeeper, could you weigh out half a pound of pig offal for me? I'd like to go back and make some salted pig offal to try."
The butcher sneered, and with a swift motion, sliced half a pound of pork offal and handed it to Su Banxia.
Su Banxia handed over the last five coins from her purse, took the pig offal, and led Su Shiyan outside.
Su Shiyan, carrying the load at the back, was sweating profusely and grumbled reluctantly:
"Sister, why do you insist on buying half a pound of pig offal? Can't we save the remaining five coins for the oxcart ride home?"
Upon hearing this, Su Banxia turned to look at Su Shiyan with a shocked expression.
"Oh, what did you say? We can take an oxcart home? Why didn't you say so earlier? Besides, we've never taken an oxcart before."
Su Shiyan sighed helplessly.
"It costs two coins per person to ride in an oxcart, but if you bargain, three people can ride for five coins. In the past, we didn't have any money to ride in a cart. We always came empty-handed and left empty-handed. We said we were going to the market, but we were just there to join in the fun."
As he spoke, Su Shiyan looked at the heavy load he was carrying on his shoulders.
"Now that we've bought so much stuff, if we don't take an oxcart, we'll probably die of exhaustion on the way..."
Upon hearing this, Su Banxia looked at Su Shiyan with a guilty expression.
"Brother, if you had told me earlier, I would have saved money for the carriage. It's too late to say anything now. When we go back, Su Mo and I will take turns helping you carry the load. Don't worry, we will never let you suffer alone."
Su Shiyan sighed helplessly. He was just complaining. The load weighed at least fifty or sixty pounds, and he couldn't bear to let his two younger sisters carry it.
But speaking of Su Mo, I haven't seen her all day. Where did she go?
Su Shiyan looked at Su Banxia anxiously and said:
"Big sister, oh no! We were so busy shopping that we lost our little sister! If we go back to our parents, they'll definitely beat me to death."
Su Banxia patted Su Shiyan on the shoulder and smiled:
"It's alright, brother. I remember Su Mo told me before she left that I should go to the big locust tree at the entrance of the market to find her after I finished buying the things. Here's what we'll do: there are a lot of people here, so you carry the things and wait for us at the market entrance. I'll go find Su Mo under the big locust tree right now!"
