The Gold Medal Toolman of Quick Transmigration

Chapter 87 Quotations from the Walking Overlord (8)

It was almost noon when we arrived in town.

It is said to be a town, but there are two large state-owned factories nearby, and there are a lot of workers in them, which drives the whole town to prosper.

The road is wider than expected, with flower beds on both sides and a red bench at a distance.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Zhuge Cuihua really couldn't connect this place with the town she imagined.

She thought the so-called town was just a larger village, with better roads and more people.

The picture in front of him slapped his face.

Fortunately, she didn't brag to Sima Tiedan before she came, otherwise it would be too embarrassing.

Today is not a market day, but there are still many pedestrians on the road. There are many small restaurants on both sides of the street, and there is a vegetable market not far away.

Zhuge Cuihua took a look and felt that she should go to the vegetable market first to find out the current prices.

"Brother Tie Dan." She pointed to the bench not far away: "Sit down and rest for a while, I'll go and ask how things are sold, and I have an idea."

"I'll go with you."

Zhuge Cuihua hurriedly stopped him: "Don't, you are carrying the chicken coop, if the stall owner sees that he is dishonest and tells the real price, won't we be cheated?"

Sima Tiedan chuckled: "You are still thoughtful."

The vegetable market is bigger than expected, almost the size of a standard football field.

Just based on the size of the wet market, you can roughly estimate how many people live around it.

The vegetable market is managed in different areas. Those who sell vegetables, meat, rice noodles, oil, and poultry and fish all stay in their own positions.

There are also a few places where fair scales have been set up, which looks quite formal.

Zhuge Cuihua strolled around inside, looked around, asked around, and quickly grasped the current prices.

It's just the price that really surprised her.

Although she was mentally prepared and knew that things were very cheap at this time, she was still quite surprised by decades of development.

Rice is [-] cents, flour is [-] cents, and beans are all five cents a catty.

You can buy fifteen eggs for one dollar.

Pork is eight cents, and live chicken is more expensive than pork, one yuan and two.

The cooked roast chicken weighs about two or three pounds and costs five yuan each.

Braised pork head meat is only two yuan and five pounds a catty.

It's cheap, it's so cheap.

Ordinary workers earn around 30 yuan a month, which is enough to support a family as long as they don’t eat roast chicken every day.

Zhuge Cuihua drooled when she smelled the fragrance, but after touching her empty pocket, she could only wipe her saliva and walk out.

But when she went to look for Sima Tiedan, she found that the bench where he was sitting was full of people inside and outside. She was so frightened that she thought something had happened, so she ran away.

When she got close, she heard someone shouting: "Give me a female."

"I want the male one, how much?"

Sima Tiedan's voice was naive: "5 yuan for the female and 10 yuan for the male."

"Why are the public ones so expensive?"

"Look at this tail. It's long and beautiful. It's not expensive at 10 yuan."

Zhuge Cuihua stopped slowly, listening to Sima Tiedan's argument with those people, and soon sold out the rabbits, the roosters, and 8 hens, and they were bargaining for the remaining few.

She stood outside the crowd, thinking this guy, wouldn't he play with me like a pig and eat a tiger?
Listen to this eloquence, listen to this count, or that innocent boy who blushes when he speaks?

Soon the remaining hens were sold out, and the crowd dispersed, leaving only Sima Tiedan standing there alone, looking in the direction of the vegetable market.

It's just that Zhuge Cuihua was standing on the other side of him.

After watching for a while, Sima Tiedan sighed: "Not coming back yet."

"I'm here!"

Sima Tiedan turned his head when he heard the sound: "You're back? Look!"

What to look at?
Of course it's money.

A thick stack was held in Sima Tiedan's hand, there was one piece, another fifty cents, and one cent.

It's tempting to look at.

Zhuge Cuihua said expressionlessly: "It's amazing."

"I'm just sitting here. Someone passed by. They all passed by, then turned back and asked me if they were for sale."

Sima Tiedan explained to her: "I originally wanted to wait for you to come back, but the man was in a hurry, so he gave me 10 yuan and left with two pheasants."

To be honest, Zhuge Cuihua didn't quite believe it, how could it be such a coincidence?
Sima Tiedan stuffed the money into her hand: "I don't know if it's the right thing to sell, you count."

The joy of counting money can never be replaced by anything else.

Zhuge Cuihua counted it carefully, 86 yuan and 5 cents.

Think about the price, mother, I can buy 17 roast chickens and still have leftovers.

After sorting out the money, she handed it to Sima Tiedan: "You caught the chicken and you sold it, so you should keep the money."

"Take it, you are my woman, it is your responsibility to take care of the money."

"I can't."

Sima Tiedan was in a hurry: "Are you going back on your word again? You don't want to marry me?"

"One yard owned by a yard."

Sima Tiedan was aggrieved: "What is mine is yours, you don't want it, you don't treat me as your man, you regret it."

Athletic guy, sunny and handsome, cute and cute in front of me, oops, I really want to rua him.

Zhuge Cuihua thought so and did the same, pinching his face with both hands: "Okay, okay, don't feel wronged, I'll just take it."

Oops, it feels so good, slippery, really worthy of being the hero.

Sima Tiedan blushed.

"Brother Tie Dan, you let me manage the money, so let's talk about it first, you can't interfere with how I use it."

"What is interference?"

Zhuge Cuihua pulled him to sit down: "It doesn't matter what I bought or where I bought it, you can't control it, and you can't blame me."

"What did I say you were doing?" Sima Tiedan looked proud: "If I had known you liked to manage money, I should have caught some pheasants and sold them."

After getting the confirmation, Zhuge Cuihua put the money into her trouser pocket: "I want to eat roast chicken."

"Eat whatever you want, let's go!"

Roast chicken without additives is so delicious.

The original taste, crispy bones and rotten meat, almost three catties of roast chicken, let two people eat everything.

Sima Tiedan also ate two big steamed buns.

After eating and drinking enough, he looked at the sun: "When shall we go back?"

"I want to see my sister."

"Success, you can go wherever you say."

Zhuge Cuihua thought about it, and discussed with him: "You can't go empty-handed, let's go to the vegetable market to buy some rice and some meat, okay?"

"I said, you can buy whatever you want, don't ask me."

Zhuge Cuihua looked at him and smiled: "Then what if I go on a blind date with money?"

"You, you." Sima Tiedan became anxious again: "I, I am reluctant to beat you, but I am willing to beat others. Whoever dares to go on a blind date with you, I will beat him to death!"

Zhuge Cuihua smiled even more happily.

"Are you still laughing? Are you kidding me?"

"Yeah, I was just teasing you."

Sima Tiedan cried and covered his heart with his hands: "Don't say such things in the future, my place hurts."

"I was wrong, and I will never say it again."

"You're right, it's my fault." Sima Tiedan was wronged again: "It's my fault that I can't give you a good life."

Zhuge Cuihua slapped him on the head: "You don't have the skills? You have earned two months' wages of others in a short time. You are really old Versailles."

"What is Versailles?"

"A palace in France!"

Zhuge Cuihua stood up: "It's already past the meal time, going to my sister's house won't be regarded as a waste of money, let's hurry up and buy something over there."
