Reborn as a farmer's favorite, Koi sweet wife super lucky husband

But I accidentally discovered a stall selling beef and mutton.

On one side of the stall, the gleaming cold light of knives quietly tells of the recent busyness, and the undried bloodstains on the ground prove that the meat is extremely fresh.

The audience gathered in circles around. In an era when entertainment activities were scarce, no one wanted to miss any excitement. Everyone couldn't help but stop and watch this rare scene.

"Come and take a look. The freshest beef and mutton is only five hundred coins per pound!"

The stall owner shouted hard, trying to attract the attention of passers-by.

However, what responded to him was a chorus of sighs.

In this era, even the most ordinary pork cost one hundred coins per pound, and the price of beef and mutton was as high as five times that. It was beyond the affordability of ordinary people, and everyone could only look at it and satisfy their thirst.

"Isn't this price too high? One tael of silver for two kilograms of meat is really prohibitive."

"That's true. Eating pork is much more economical. One tael of silver can at least buy ten kilograms of pork. With this meat, two kilograms won't satisfy my craving."

Ran He stood at the end of the crowd and couldn't help but frowned when he heard the high price.

Indeed, such a price is also a considerable expense for her. If it could be cheaper, she might consider buying them all.

Witnessing the embarrassing situation of people just looking but not buying, an anxious look gradually appeared on the stall owner's face.

You know, he gambled everything on this batch of beef and mutton. If he couldn't sell them while they were fresh, he would probably face the tragic situation of suffering losses.

Just as the atmosphere reached a stalemate, the stall owner gritted his teeth and made a difficult decision: "Dear neighbors, 400 wen! Considering our friendship, 400 wen is my limit."

In order to dispose of the meat as quickly as possible, he was willing to accept even a small profit. After all, compared to losing everything, this was the best way out.

Upon hearing this, the price was instantly reduced by one hundred cents, and a subtle atmosphere suddenly arose among the originally noisy crowd.

Everyone's eyes moved back and forth between the stall owner and the pile of beef and mutton, as if they were silently weighing something.

Many people began to wonder, if the price could be lowered, wouldn't it be possible to have a rare delicacy on the table tonight?

The hesitation and indecision among the crowd spread quickly like wildfire.

Ran He stood at the edge of the crowd, a hint of doubt revealed between his delicate brows.

Although she knew very well that in this era of material scarcity, the nutritional value and flavor of beef and mutton far exceeded the common pork, the price of four hundred coins did make her feel a little bit overwhelmed.

She thought to herself that even if her own fields had a good harvest, such expenses would still seem quite extravagant, and there was obviously room for negotiation.

Just then, a couple suddenly appeared outside the crowd.

Guan Taohua and her husband.

Ever since the village's secret about Zhao Laosan was made public, Guan Taohua's home seemed to have regained some of the long-lost tranquility.

Out of shame, Zhao Laosan became extremely cautious in his behavior and was even more obedient to Guan Taohua, for fear of causing any more trouble.

In order to prevent his relapse of his old illness, Guan Taohua simply held his hand tightly wherever she went, and used the bond of love to cut off his unreasonable thoughts.

This time, when she passed by the meat stall, she unexpectedly saw Ran He. She stopped involuntarily and became curious.

In her opinion, how could Ran He be willing to spend so much money to buy such expensive meat? It was obviously impossible. After all, when the family was divided, Wu's mother did not leave Ran He a penny. Unless Ran He sold all his stored food privately, he would be able to pay such a high cost.

Ran He felt someone staring at him from behind, and he turned his head slightly, catching a glimpse of Guan Taohua's hesitant look as if she wanted to say something.

But she just smiled slightly, and her opinion of the couple in her heart had not changed - they were like grasshoppers jumping in the autumn, unable to cause any big waves, and everything was under her control.

Inside the butcher shop, the shopkeeper's voice gradually became anxious, and his expression that looked like he was about to cry made people feel sorry for him.

"My fellow villagers, beef and mutton are precious. I really didn't make much money. I sold them at cost price."

In response to the shopkeeper's plea, someone in the crowd replied, "Shopkeeper, we all know that this is not a matter of price. It's just that we are short of money. My wife at home asked me to buy three pounds of pork. If I spend all the money here, I'm afraid there will be a lot of unrest when I get home. What should I do?"

The shopkeeper was unwilling to give up and gritted his teeth to hold on for a while. Unfortunately, the smell of fresh meat attracted countless green-headed flies, buzzing around.

The noise was so loud that it upset people, but he still failed to sell a single pound.

As time went by, the shopkeeper began to feel regretful. If he had known that the animals would be so difficult to sell today, he should not have been in such a hurry to slaughter the cattle and sheep. Now it seemed that he would lose money.

"Three hundred and fifty coins is really the lowest price. Whoever wants it can take it."

The shopkeeper's voice was full of helplessness and fatigue. After lowering the price again, a few people finally wavered and decided to buy.

Three hundred and fifty wen is still a considerable sum for an ordinary family, but after weighing the pros and cons, people are still willing to splurge occasionally. After all, such an opportunity only comes once or twice a year, and being able to taste such a rare delicacy is a kind of comfort.

Soon, dozens of kilograms of meat were sold, but this was just a drop in the bucket compared to the whole cow or sheep, and the rest was still a big problem that needed to be solved urgently.

While everyone was talking about it, Ran He walked towards the shopkeeper with firm steps.

"Boss, can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Her suggestion made the shopkeeper frown, secretly trying to figure out the young woman's intentions.

Seeing this, Ran He said directly: "Boss, I am willing to buy all the remaining beef and mutton you have here at the price of 300 coins per pound."

When these words were spoken, not only the shopkeeper was surprised, but the people around him were also in an uproar, all guessing the deeper meaning behind Ran He's action.

Ran He had already calculated the price in her mind. If she bought a few pounds in small pieces, three hundred and fifty coins per pound would naturally be the market price. But if she took over the entire thing, three hundred coins per pound would undoubtedly be more reasonable.

After all, one has to consider the labor costs of transportation, the time costs, and the unpredictable market risks - if the meat cannot be sold in time, the loss will have to be borne by oneself.

"Oh, young lady, you look so smart and capable, you must be an expert! If I give it to you at 300 coins per pound, my shop will really lose a lot of money."

The shopkeeper pretended to be embarrassed, but there was a sly glint in his eyes.

Ran He raised a faint smile, his eyes revealing an unquestionable certainty:
