Chapter 92. I don't like being tricked by others
Buying fish directly on the boat is really affordable. The big fish in the market costs [-] copper coins per catty, but it is much cheaper and fresher here.The only difference is that the market is divided into pieces, the twenty copper coins are for the fish meat, and other fish tails, fish heads and other parts are cheaper.But here the whole fish is bought, and no one helps to clean it up.
Take the mochi fish bought by Xuan Muzhi as an example. The largest one weighs more than 60 catties. According to the fact that the mochi fish is slightly taller than other fish, this fish only costs [-] silver coins from Xuan Muzhi.
Other fish are cheap, less than [-] coppers per catty, not to mention those sea shells, many of them were knocked off the reefs by the guys when they stayed in some small islands. Five silver coins, it is cheap to cry.
In the end, all of them add up to less than one gold coin.
The manager wanted to get some change, but Xuan Muzhi shook his head, pointing to the various seaweeds they threw aside, "I don't want the money, give me those seaweeds."
The steward was stunned for a moment, seaweed was worthless at all, and if someone wanted them, they would just give them away for nothing, this thing can catch a lot in every net.
If the guests are willing to ask for it, they will naturally not refuse.Especially this is a big customer, who bought nearly one gold coin worth of fish for the first time, they are even more attentive.Simply wash all kinds of seaweed, sea cabbage and other sea vegetables and roll them into rolls and send them to Xuan Muzhi.
Xuan Muzhi put away the sea vegetables, took out some silver coins and handed them to the boy who explained to him all the way.
With a series of thanks from the other party, Xuan Mu got off the boat.This is the time for other hawkers to buy fish, but there are very few real good fish left, they are all ordinary goods, and there are some miscellaneous fish, but ordinary people don't care too much about it.
Xuan Mu got off the boat and walked quickly towards the wildebeest carriage, because he had already seen the old and the young beside the carriage.
After Xuan Muzhi came down, the old man in charge of the restaurant in the East District also got off the boat. The fish he came to buy were very purposeful, and he had to look at everything like Xuan Muzhi. In the end, even the fish that no one wanted Shells and sea vegetables are different, so the purchase was completed earlier than Xuan Muzhi.
However, he has been procrastinating on paying the bill. He originally wanted to have a relationship with the present, but he didn't expect to see a series of things that the other party bought later, and he became more and more confused.
Buying so many miscellaneous things is not like opening a restaurant, and this person is too young, it is hard to imagine that this is actually the manager of a restaurant in the East District.
The old man watched Xuan Muzhi pay the bill and leave, picked two kinds of fish at random, and left as well. Seeing the young man next to him follow up, he whispered a few words in his ear and then left first.
Xuan Muzhi came to his wildebeest carriage, greeted Luo Zhong first, then looked at the grandparents and grandchildren and said with a smile, "Old man has been waiting for a long time, now we can start. Do you have a car? If not, let's go together."
The grandparent and grandson did not have a car, so they just took a ride back home.
When Xuan Muzhi left, he left a lot of carrots for the wildebeest to eat.Luo Zhong looked at the pile of carrots very distressed, they were all spiritual vegetables, don't think he didn't eat that steamed carrot just now!
At this time, the pile of carrots was eaten up, not even the radish sprouts left.
Luo Zhong turned the car around, and the four of them got into the car. The little wildebeest ate some carrots from the big wildebeest just now, and trot along the side of the car happily.
With the old man showing the way, the group arrived at the destination soon.The old man took his children here to plan seaweeds, and he really didn't live too far away, and the wildebeest would be there after walking for a stick of incense.
Following the old man into the yard, there are many shelves under the corridor in the yard, on which are palm-sized bamboo sieves woven from bamboo.The seaweed on it is washed and dried, which is not much different from the ones on the earth.
"So much. I want all of them, old man. What's the price?"
"Not many people usually buy this thing, but the price is higher because of the effort." The old man looked a little guilty, "Is one... one silver coin okay?"
Xuan Muzhi thought about it, and the price is indeed high enough.
According to the price of Berman Island, the price of food is basically the same as the price of the earth, and individual products are high or low.For example, barley rice costs five coppers a catty, brown rice on earth is more expensive than this, and polished white rice costs ten coppers a catty.To put it bluntly, Xuan Muzhi felt that the polished white rice on Berman Island was more delicious than the ten yuan a catty rice on earth.
And today, the price of a whole salmon is about [-] yuan a catty, while on the earth the price of salmon is around [-], [-] or even hundreds of yuan. If you take the middle price, the price will be higher.Not to mention the sashimi or sushi made in the store, the price is more expensive.
If calculated according to this reference, the price of fish here is really cheap.Relatively speaking, seaweed is too expensive.
This plate of seaweed doesn't look like much, and it is thinner than the plate of seaweed on the earth.But a plate of sun-dried seaweed on the earth is only about ten yuan, so the price of a silver coin here is equivalent to 100 yuan on the earth?
Not to mention that Xuan Muzhi thought it was too expensive, even Luo Zhong next to him couldn't stand it.
"Brother, isn't this sea vegetable so expensive?"
"It's dried in the sun. It's a big deal... If you want more, I'll give you a cheaper price."
Xuan Muzhi sighed.
It seems that he still did something wrong today. He went on a fishing boat to buy fish and drove a wildebeest cart, making the other party think he was a rich man.Although he is not short of money now, he doesn't want to spend it like this.Although he didn't know the price of seaweed on Berman Island, he thought it was absolutely impossible.
Xuan Muzhi shook his head and took out a few silver coins, "Just three calculations."
The old man was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Xuan Muzhi didn't buy all the dried sea vegetables as he imagined, but only a little.
"This……"
Xuan Muzhi picked out three plates and took them away pleasing to the eye. There is no need for too much seaweed, as long as you add a little bit when cooking the soup, it will make the soup very delicious.Three sets are said to be few, but in fact they are not too few.
Xuan Muzhi and Luo Zhong turned and left, and the little wildebeest followed suit.The little grandson was a little reluctant to part with the little wildebeest, so he stumbled and followed.
After following up, the little grandson tugged at Xuan Muzhi's clothes.
"Brother, my family's dried sea vegetables only cost [-] copper coins per plate."
Xuan Muzhi stared at the child who was about the same age as Xuan Xuan, but he didn't expect that the child came out to tell him this.
"Okay, I got it, brother, thank you." Xuan Muzhi took out a pack of pine nut candy from the storage ring and handed it over.It was made for Xuanxuan and Su An, and there were quite a few in the storage ring, and in case Xuanxuan would eat too much, he would divide them into packets and wrap them with leaves. "This is for you."
The little grandson didn't know what it was, so he held the small bag and waved goodbye to Xuan Muzhi.
"Xiao Yi, what are you holding in your hand?" The old man happily collected the three silver coins after finishing the transaction.Although there were not as many as expected, three silver coins were quite a lot.When he turned his head and saw the little grandson coming in from the outside with a small bag in his hand, he couldn't help asking.
"It was given by the brother who came just now." Xiao Yi opened the small bag made of leaves, and there were five or six candies inside, each of which was wrapped with a pine nut.Xiao Yi sniffed and licked a pine nut candy, and raised his head in surprise, "It's candy! Grandpa is candy!"
"Ah..." The old man picked up one too, and it really was candy.Berman Island is not only expensive for its sugar, but also for its pine nuts.You must know that there is only a small piece of pine forest on Berman Island, and the yield of pine nuts is extremely low. It seems that this kind of dried fruit has never been seen in the northern and southern regions.
But not being able to eat it doesn't mean that you don't know it. The old man looked at the pine nuts inside with a look of surprise.
This pine nut candy, pine nuts are more expensive than sugar, and sugar is not cheap.He intentionally raised the price of dried seaweed in order to earn more money, but he didn't expect that even though he saw through it, he still bought a few plates and gave his grandson a bag of sugar.The price of this bag of sugar may not be bought by a single silver coin.
When the candy came into his mouth, the expression on the old man's face changed again and again, both surprised and annoyed.
Such a big rich man, he was able to climb up to the other party, but he ruined his life, and he might offend the other party.
Thinking of this, the old man hurriedly chased after him. Seeing that Xuan Muzhi's horned carriage hadn't gone too far, the old man took a deep breath and quickly chased after him.
Hearing someone chasing after Xuan Muzhi and Luo Zhong looked back, seeing that it was the old man who bought dried seaweed just now, and waving at them, the two quickly stopped the carriage.
"What's the matter?" Luo Zhong snorted, very dissatisfied with his behavior of cheating Xuan Muzhi.
"Brother, I'm really sorry. I lied to you just now. The dried seaweed in our house is not that expensive. I really lost my mind for a while." The old man was able to chase it out, but he really regretted it.Putting a sum of money in front of them and waiting to get it, many people will lose themselves, although this money is really not a big money in the eyes of Xuan Muzhi or Luo Zhong.
Xuanmu's mouth moved before he could speak, the old man waved his hand, "Brother, take back the money. Those three plates of dried sea vegetables are just a little compensation for my old man's wrongdoing. I really... oh , I regret it at the beginning!"
Xuan Muzhi and Luo Zhong looked at each other, "Old man, forget it, let's do it this time. When I come next time, don't sell me so expensive again."
The old man froze for a moment, his eyes suddenly became moist. "Next time, next time I will definitely not."
"Okay, that's it. We have to go back, it's getting late."
Along the way, Xuan Muzhi and Luo Zhong didn't speak, they were both thinking about this incident.
One silver coin per plate, in fact, the dried sea vegetables in the yard do not cost a single gold coin.It is nothing to the present Xuan Muzhi, he now has nearly a hundred gold coins in his storage ring, and the more than 200 spirit crystals that Xuanxuan gave him, which cannot be exchanged for one gold coin.In this way, Xuan Muzhi also has a small fortune.
What's more, he still has a family of small restaurants, and he earns a steady stream of income every day. Coupled with the storage ring on his body, this storage ring alone is beyond the reach of many monks.Not to mention the little monks in the qi refining stage and the foundation building stage, even the real monks who have entered the alchemy stage may not all have a storage ring.
From this point of view, Xuan Muzhi is really a petty master, and many people can call his father's existence enviously.It's just that he doesn't like being tricked like this.
