"Five taels of silver per catty!"

"What!" Shopkeeper Shi's eyes widened as he didn't expect this little spice to be so expensive.

"Of course!" Shen Ping raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "These are just ingredients, and you can't put that much in when cooking meat. It sounds expensive, but it can actually be used for a long time."

"And the meat you cook is delicious, the business will naturally be better, and the money will be earned back. Shopkeeper Shi, do you think I am right?"

"That makes sense!" Shopkeeper Shi frowned in embarrassment: "Sister-in-law like this, I have to ask my boss for instructions." After saying that, he walked upstairs again.

"It turns out the boss is up there." Shen Ping glanced at the second floor. She always thought that shopkeeper Shi was the boss, but it turned out that there was someone else.

After a while, shopkeeper Shi came down and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, our boss said we want these spices. How much do you have?"

Shen Ping's lips curled up and she thought to herself: "So refreshing!"

"Well, I don't have much inventory on hand. I'll see how much I can get for you!"

Shopkeeper Shi was overjoyed when he heard this and said repeatedly: "That's good. Thank you, Mrs. Shen."

"It's just Mrs. Shen, where is your stuff? Can you deliver it today?" Shopkeeper Qiu looked left and right, and saw that the basket on his back was empty. Where is Mrs. Shen's spice?

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Qiu. I can't take that much by myself. I'll put it aside. I'll go out and get it for you. I'll come back as soon as I go!" After saying that, Shen Ping walked out.

Going to the alley aside, Shen Ping looked around and saw no one around, and quickly took out the spices from the space. Shen Ping put some of the previously dried spices in the space.

Shopkeeper Qiu stretched his neck and looked at the door. When he came back again, he saw a large bundle of spices in Shen Ping's hand: "Ms. Shen, you are so fast." Shopkeeper Qiu couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. Mrs. Shen is a cheerful person, straightforward and neat.

After a simple weighing, I found that the cinnamon sticks weighed about three kilograms, worth 15 taels of silver, the fragrant leaves weighed eighty kilograms, worth 9 taels of silver, the fennel weighed half a kilogram, worth 2 taels and 5 cents of silver, and the eight anise weighed two kilograms, worth 10 taels of silver. The total is 36 taels and 5 coins.

Including the money for vegetables and sika deer just now, the total is 87 taels of silver.

"Ms. Shen, do you want a banknote or money?" Shopkeeper Qiu asked with a smile.

Shen Ping thought for a while, it would definitely be inconvenient to carry so much cash, and she already had more than 30 taels of silver on her body. Although it was placed in a small space, it was more convenient to use banknotes.

"Give me the change in cash, and for the rest, just give me banknotes."

"Okay!" Shopkeeper Qiu went back to the counter and took a 50-tael and a 30-tael banknote, and took another 7 taels of cash and handed them to Shen Ping.

"Ms. Shen, walk slowly! Next time if you have something good, remember to give it to us at Jufulou." Shopkeeper Qiu said towards Shen Ping's back.

Mrs. Shen is really a powerful person. There are many hunters in the countryside who may not be able to hunt sika deer. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen, a woman, could catch two sika deers, and Shopkeeper Qiu couldn't help but admire her.

She didn't know why, but Shen Ping always felt like a pair of eyes were looking at her. It seemed that the owner of these eyes must be on the second floor.

Anyway, I am a peasant woman, I have neither stolen nor robbed, and I am walking the right path. However, I have traveled through time and brought a golden finger with me, so I still have to be careful.

Thinking that it would be better to do less than to do more, Shen Ping shook her head and tried her best not to look back to find out.

The gauze curtain on the second floor was half closed. The stern man looked through the gauze curtain and watched Shen Ping's figure disappear outside the door. The corner of his mouth curled up: "Brother Xu, you should pay more attention to this woman to see if she is the sixth brother." People over there?”

Magistrate Xu couldn't help being shocked after hearing this, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Are you thinking too much? This woman can't be from Mr. Liu's side!"

After listening to his words, the cold man's mouth curled up. He fiddled with the jade ring in his left hand with his right hand, raised his eyelids, and said lazily: "It's better to be careful. Okay, let's do this this time! If anything happens, I'll do it." Looking for you again!"

Xu Mingchang looked at the dishes on the table, rolled his eyes, and muttered: "I haven't even eaten anything yet, so it's not fun for you to chase away customers."

Looking at Xu Mingchang's face, the cold and handsome man's face softened, and the corners of his mouth raised again. After knowing him for so many years, his greedy habit has not changed!

"Don't waste it, eat it first and then go back!"

After hearing what the other party said, Xu Mingchang relaxed his brows and began to eat with confidence.

……

Standing on the street, Shen Ping looked at the Hongyuan Gambling House not far ahead. Shen Ping was very familiar with that place. The original owner once gambled here and almost lost his underwear.

But looking at the gambling house now, it felt familiar yet strange. Thinking of his ferocious face inside, thinking of that situation, Shen Ping never wanted to step into that place again.

But there was nothing she could do now, because the person she wanted to see might be inside. After taking a deep breath, Shen Ping walked over to Hongyuan Gambling House.

There are restaurants and teahouses on South Street, with a stage in the middle. There are several gambling houses gathered at the end of South Street, and Hongyuan Gambling House is one of them.

Hongyuan is the largest gambling house in Heyang County. I heard that the owner has a strong background. People who want to cause trouble in Hongyuan Gambling will not end up well in the end, so most people don't dare to cause trouble in Hongyuan Gambling.

Today is different from the past. Today's Hongyuan Gambling House seems a bit deserted. There are five or six gambling tables and only one table with a few people standing there.

The dice players at other tables were bored and watching the gamblers at the next table shouting excitedly.

In the back room of the gambling house, a sturdy middle-aged man carefully bent over to the scarred man sitting on the stool and said: "Brother, I saw it right, it's definitely Shen Ping's stinky bitch. I didn't expect that she is now rich." .”

This scarred man is Qiu Fu, the nominal shopkeeper of Hongyuan Gambling House, and Yang Wei is his horse boy and his dog-headed strategist.

Qiu Fu had a cold face and squinted at the man in front of him coldly: "Huh! Yang Wei, no matter how rich someone is, it is still her luck. Our gambling house is not a robber. The money they bring to the door is their own. Only we can make money, and besides, all the money she owed our gambling house has been paid off."

Seeing that Qiu Fu didn't pay much attention to Shen Ping's affairs, Yang Wei couldn't help but worry, why can't his big brother change his mind?

"Brother, aren't you worried that our gambling house's recent business has been bad? It's hard to explain to the superiors!"

snort!

"No one has come to gamble recently, what can I do?" Hearing what Yang Wei said, Qiu Fu suddenly became angry.

There is a drought right now, and the people who have some money are going to buy food. During this time, the business of the casino has plummeted. There were only a few people here and there to gamble.

Ugh!

Qiu Fu sighed, he was still worried. This month's accounts had not been handed in yet, and he was still far from the tasks assigned by his superiors! How can this be good?

Seeing Qiu Fu frowning, Yang Wei bent down and said with a smile: "Brother, we don't want to be the ones who block the road, but I have an idea. When the time comes, someone will automatically send money to your door. Do you want to hear it? ?”
