Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business
Chapter 44 Buying Pigs
He took down the cage and put the pig in it, weighed it, and asked his son to go to the backyard to bring out the ox cart. This was the special ox cart he used to collect pigs when he went to the countryside.
Butcher Zhang waved to the girl in front of him and asked her to look at the scale. Jiang Xue didn't understand and couldn't figure out what it was after looking at it for a long time. She looked at the two brothers beside her.
"Who of you two understands?"
Jiang Diao came over, took a closer look and reported the number.
''862 jin''
Butcher Zhang nodded and took the abacus from his wife's hand.
"The cage weighed 123 kilograms just now, and now it weighs 862 kilograms with the pig. Wait for me to calculate it later, girl."
Jiang Xue was a little surprised. He still had to use an abacus. Wouldn't the answer be available in just a few minutes?
"Seven hundred and thirty-nine kilograms," Jiang Xue announced the result.
After getting the abacus, Butcher Zhang calculated it twice, and the result was the same as what she said. He was a little surprised and gave the girl in front of him a thumbs up.
"By the way, what's the price of a pig?" Jiang Xue forgot to ask the price of a pig.
Butcher Zhang said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl. The price is 30 wen per jin. You can ask around for the price. The price for slaughtering a pig is wen per head."
Jiang Xue nodded and calculated the price in her mind, "Wen is equal to twenty-two taels and one hundred and seventy wen, plus the price of slaughtering the pig is one hundred wen, which is twenty-two taels and two hundred and seventy wen."
Jiang Xue told the price she had just calculated.
"Zhang the butcher's money is 22 taels, 270 wen, which includes the money for killing the pig. I'll add 30 wen to it, so 22 taels, 300 wen is all you need."
Butcher Zhang was a little confused holding the abacus, but he still calculated it again, and the result was exactly the same as the other party's number.
"Yes, the girl is amazing, a fortune teller!"
Achen on the side felt a little proud, because he knew that his Xueer was the best.
Jiang Feng saw that it was getting late. If he didn't set off now, it would be too late. He urged: "Hurry up! If you are slower, it will be too late."
Butcher Zhang carried his tools and called his eldest son. He explained some things to his father who was standing beside him. After they put the pigs on the ox cart, he sat on his own ox cart and urged his son to drive.
Jiang Feng hurriedly urged Jiang Xue and others to "hurry up". Jiang Xue pulled her second brother and Achen and quickly ran towards the ox cart.
Two hours later, Jiangjia Village
At this time, except for the occasional smoke rising from a few houses, most families in the village have gone to bed. In the village, most people do not eat dinner, as they think they will not feel hungry if they sleep.
After a while, two ox carts drove into the entrance of Jiangjia Village one after another. If you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of pigs squealing.
There was a knock on the door. Jiang Bing, who was sitting in the yard, shouted
"Grandma, my brothers and sisters are back!"
With a creak, Jiang Bing opened the door.
Jiang Chen was about to cook when she heard the door open. She seemed to hear a pig squealing faintly outside the yard. Confused, she ran out with a spatula, and saw Jiang Feng, Jiang Yu and two strangers carrying a cage down from the car. She was surprised to see the pig in the cage, thinking that her granddaughter bought almost half a pig last time, and now it was even more outrageous. Was she buying a whole pig, or two?
"Little ancestor, you are not buying meat this time? Buying a pig?" Pointing at the pig in front of her, Jiang Chen looked at her granddaughter with a confused expression. How much silver would it cost? Her heart was bleeding and she was heartbroken.
"Milk, for making meatballs. The shops on the street are about to open. These are the ones that are in short supply," Jiang Xue hurriedly explained the purpose of pork.
Jiang Chen was a little happy because she hadn't slaughtered a pig for several years. She suddenly remembered the meatballs she made today. She handed the spatula to Jiang Feng and took Jiang Xue to the main hall. She pointed to the meatballs in the eight large basins on the ground and said,
"My dear, I spent the whole day frying the meatballs you ordered with your mother, but we didn't have the ingredients for the meatballs. You said we could keep the meat in the house, so I didn't care."
The meatballs were fried to a perfect golden brown color. Jiang Xue walked over to take a look and nodded with satisfaction.
Suddenly she thought of something. She bought jewelry for her grandmother and mother some time ago. She seemed to have forgotten about it because she was busy planting grains. Thinking of this, Jiang Xue took it out from the space.
Jiang Chen, who was standing by, saw her granddaughter was about to wave, so she quickly stepped back, strode to the door and closed it. Then she turned around and returned to her previous position. As a result, she saw a box appear. The box in front of her felt particularly familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it, so she moved closer with some curiosity.
When Jiang Xue saw her grandmother coming over, she handed the jewelry box to her.
Jiang Chen was a little curious. Her granddaughter looked at her with a half-smile. She took the box and opened it to find a complete set of silver jewelry, including earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces. Although she liked it very much, she knew that she couldn't afford the set without ten taels of silver, so she pushed it to Jiang Xue.
"This is too expensive. You have many other places to spend your money! Grandma is old and doesn't like these things." After saying this, she looked at the jewelry in the jewelry box reluctantly.
Seeing the reluctance in her grandmother's eyes, Jiang Xue joked: "If she doesn't like it, I'll give it to someone else. Anyway, I picked it specially for her, but it's a pity that she doesn't like it. Alas~!"
Grabbing the jewelry from her granddaughter's arms, Jiang Chen said quickly: "I like it, I like it, but you can't give it to others. I cherish it very much because it was given to me by my granddaughter."
After saying that, she took the box and prepared to go to the old man to show off her jewelry.
What woman doesn't like jewelry? Jiang Xue knew that her grandmother would definitely like it, so she took out another set and went to the kitchen.
Jiang Wang was cooking at this time. When she saw her daughter coming in, she quickly pushed her daughter out.
"Sanniu, there's too much smoke, please go out, I'll be here." She kept looking at the food in the pot.
Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "Mom, it's okay. I'll give you something."
"No," Jiang Wang was a little nervous and pushed it back quickly without even looking at it.
Jiang Chen, who had just finished showing off to Mr. Jiang, locked her jewelry in the cabinet. She was going to wear it to the village tomorrow to show off to her old sisters. She was humming a little tune and walking towards the kitchen. As soon as she arrived in the kitchen, she saw her daughter-in-law and granddaughter pushing and shoving a box. The box was the same as hers, just a little smaller. Jiang Chen couldn't help but joked: "Oh, your daughter doesn't like the jewelry she bought for you, and you don't want it? Don't worry, she will give it to someone else later."
Jiang Wang was shocked. "Jewelry". She thought it was something else, but she didn't expect it to be jewelry.
Jiang Xue quickly opened the jewelry and pushed it to her mother
"I think this set is not exaggerated and is more suitable for mother in a youthful style. I have already bought it, so mother should not refuse it. Grandma also has it." Jiang Xue was afraid that her mother would think that she did not buy it for her grandmother, so she said it first.
Jiang Wang nodded, took the jewelry from Jiang Xue's hand and said happily: "You kid, this must be a lot of money! What a waste, don't buy it for me next time."
