Farming and slapping face through time travel

But how to make money, now that Lan Qianjue is injured, his body is becoming more and more inconvenient, there are still a few rabbits to raise at home, chopping firewood and mowing grass are enough for the two of them to keep busy.

Otherwise, pick wild vegetables and sell them?Wild vegetables are everywhere in this village. Although they are not worth much, grasshoppers are also meat, and a copper coin is also money.

Besides wild vegetables, what other rare things can we get to sell? Shen Jiyao thought about it, from Maotao to toad vegetables that can be used as medicine, and finally thought of the meat brought by Zhou Laosan. Shen Jiyao's eyes lit up, and he sat up carefully Lan Qianjue turned over and stepped over Lan Qianjue, who was lying outside, and was about to get out of bed. Lan Qianjue, who was rubbing his belly for Shen Jiyao and was about to fall asleep, sensed it, opened his eyes, and hugged him, asking: "What are you doing in such a hurry. "

Shen Jiyao put on his shoes and walked to the corner to look at the pork. The meat color of this pork is really good, well-organized, the meat has a good sense of layering, and it is a rare wild boar. It is estimated to be worth a lot of money. He said: "I think Take the pork and sell it for money, do you know the price of meat in the town per catty?"

Lan Qianjue got out of bed and walked over wearing straw sandals, and said, "It's about forty copper coins or so a catty."

"So expensive?!" Shen Jiyao said in surprise: "A catty of pork is almost worth a set of clothes. Why is the price of pork so high?"

Lan Qianjue said: "Pork is precious. A piglet needs to be raised for about a year and a half. If it is well fed, the pig will be bigger and fatter. If it is not well fed, there will not be much meat. There are very few pork sellers on the Internet, and most of them are bought by wealthy families, while poor families rarely eat pork."

When Shen Jiyao thought about it, he felt that this was really the case. He used to live at his grandmother's house for several years. Every New Year's day, the old man would go to the town to buy two piglets to feed them. What he ate was cornmeal and some small potatoes. The pig food is boiled with kale and some wild vegetables, and some feed is added to it every day to ensure the growth of piglets. Nowadays, resources are scarce in ancient times, and people's food is probably not so luxurious, so they can't care about pigs.

Thinking of this, Shen Jiyao was overjoyed, and he excitedly said to Lan Qianjue, "I want to take this piece of pork to the town and sell it for money, is that okay?"

Lan Qianjue hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'll save some for you, and sell the rest."

Shen Jiyao understood the meaning of his words almost instantly. He must be worried that his body was not nutritious so he wanted to save some meat for himself to eat. Shen Jiyao didn't object. Throwing a piece of meat about a catty into the treasure bag, but thinking of agreeing to invite Zhou Laosan and the others to eat meat, so he cut off another piece of meat, and stuffed the rest into the treasure bag to keep it fresh.

This treasure bag is really practical, everything can be easily stored in it, but it is only limited to food. Shen Jiyao once tried to stuff the pony into it, but the pony was repelled like two magnets of the same sex repelling each other. It can't be put in, but if you wrap a few leaves in a ponytail, it will be a different matter. It's really amazing, and he doesn't understand why the book that records food is not rejected.

He fetched water to wash his hands, looked up at Lan Qianjue while washing, and said, "Let's go to the town tomorrow and sell these pork, how about it?"

Naturally, Lan Qianjue didn't object, he took a cloth towel and took Shen Jiyao's wet hand to wipe it for him, and said softly, "It's all up to you."

Shen Jiyao's face was a little hot when he heard the words. He looked at Lan Qianjue's heroic and gentle face, and let him wipe himself with his heart pounding.

After wiping Shen Jiyao's hands clean, Lan Qianjue took the water and poured it on. He moved the rabbit cage in, and then said to Shen Jiyao, "I'm going to ask Mrs. Zhou to borrow the scale. You rest first."

Shen Jiyao nodded, and lay on the bed with the door ajar, waiting for Lan Qianjue, and fell asleep while waiting.

Early the next morning.

Lan Qianjue cleaned the rabbit cage, replaced it with clean hay, and threw some grass into the cage for them to eat. Then he picked up the only bamboo table at home and prepared to put pork on it. Shen Jiyao carried a scale and a kitchen knife. basket, the two left the village and rushed to the town together.

When approaching the town, Shen Jiyao found a secret place and dragged the wild pork out of the treasure bag and put it on the table. The two of them lifted one side and walked towards the town with some difficulty.

When I came to the town again, it was still very lively.

As soon as the two of them entered the town, they attracted countless eyes. This time, they were not only looking at Shen Jiyao, a rare brother whom they had never seen in a hundred years, but also at the big piece of pork. Their eyes were full of curiosity and envy.

Walking all the way into the market, the two of them were already followed by a group of curious people.

The two searched for a long time to find a vacant place to set up a stall. As soon as they put down the table, a group of people gathered around to ask the price.

Shen Jiyao said: "Fifty copper coins a catty, authentic wild pork, just killed yesterday, tastes very fresh, much more refreshing than domestic pigs."

"Fifty copper coins a catty? It's too expensive!" A man in the crowd said in amazement, "The pork at the butcher's stall is only thirty copper coins a catty, and you actually want to sell it for fifty copper coins. But it’s wild boar, and it’s so expensive, so it’s possible that if you eat it, you can live longer.”

Shen Jiyao said with a smile: "You get what you pay for. There is a gap between domestic pigs and wild boars. This wild boar roams the mountains all year round, and its meat is all lean meat. Besides, there are few people selling wild boars in this town. Pork, who can eat it a few times, first look at the quality of the meat before bargaining, is it much firmer than domestic pigs?"

After hearing this, some people began to reach out to look at the pork. Seeing that it was indeed black-skinned wild pork, they couldn't help but nodded in agreement, but still hesitated to buy it. Shen Jiyao continued: "If you want it, you can buy some and go back to eat. Wild boar is not sold every day, you don’t know how difficult it is to hunt a wild boar, fifty copper coins a catty, compared with white pigs, even if it’s just rare, it’s worth it.”

When everyone heard this, it really made sense, and besides, the meat at the butcher stall over there had to be sold for 38 copper coins a catty. The man just made a fool of himself and wanted Shen Jiyao to increase the price, but now he didn't have the heart to bargain anymore, after all As he said, wild pork is not sold every day, let alone everyone can eat it.

Those who intend to buy meat hurriedly said: "Okay, you can cut me a piece... cut it like this." As they said, they stretched out their hands and gestured for the part they wanted.

Lan Qianjue, who was silent at the side, pulled out the kitchen knife that was under the meat, and cut it along the place pointed by the man, while Shen Jiyao was responsible for lifting the scale.

Lan Qianjue took the time to take a look and saw that he couldn't understand Chengxin, so he said, "One catty is 16 taels."

Shen Jiyao: "16 taels?"

It is actually six taels more than a catty in modern times?Shen Jiyao had no choice but to ask for a high price, otherwise he would lose a lot. While weighing the scale, Shen Jiyao calculated in his heart that this piece of meat was still about 50 catties. If calculated by the ancient tael, it would be about 30 catties. Fifty copper coins per catty... How much can it be sold for one or two dollars? !

Shen Jiyao frowned indiscriminately, handed the weighed meat to the man, and then took a handful of copper coins to count. What he thought was that such a large piece of meat could only be sold for a tael of silver, somewhat depressed, he didn't know The specific value of a tael of silver naturally cannot be compared with the modern 100 yuan.

But depression is depression, and he is still happy to make a little money.

Someone opened it, and others bought it one after another.

Not long after, more than 50 catties of meat were quickly sold out.

Shen Jiyao put away the kitchen knife and weighing pole with broken blades after cutting the bones and put them in the basket, but the table where the pork was left was not ready, it was covered with blood and knife marks, so he threw it away and planned to go back and redo it.

After they packed up their things, they sat down in an alley with few people. Shen Jiyao had a pack of heavy copper coins in his rolled up pocket. He took out the money bag and counted the pile of copper coins in one by one, counting several times Only then did I figure out that this piece of pork was sold for a total of one tael and 820 taels.

The two looked at each other, then laughed.

Shen Jiyao took out ten copper coins from inside, and then handed over the money bag to Lan Qianjue for safekeeping. Lan Qianjue didn't ask him what he wanted to do with the money. He took the money bag and followed with the basket in one hand. Shen Jiyao protected him from behind and walked forward.

It was close to noon at this time, and the number of people in the market gradually decreased. Shen Jiyao looked around and walked all the way, and finally stopped in front of a shoe stall.

He squatted in front of the shoe stall and looked carefully for a long time, finally chose a pair of black cloth shoes and handed them to Lan Qianjue, saying, "Try to see if these shoes can be worn."

Lan Qianjue didn't expect that he was actually buying shoes for himself, so he couldn't help but feel extremely moved, he was stunned for a while before taking the shoes and putting them on, the size of the shoes fit unexpectedly.

Shen Jiyao squatted on the ground and pressed his toes with his hands to confirm whether the shoes fit. After finding that the size was just right, he asked, "Are you comfortable to wear?"

Lan Qianjue pulled him up and said, "Yes."

"That's the pair." Shen Jiyao said to the peddler, "Brother, how much are these shoes?"

The peddler said, "Thirteen copper coins."

Shen Jiyao said without changing his face: "There are only ten copper coins, if you can't sell them, you need these pairs."

The peddler hesitated for a moment, and then said, "All right, I'll sell you a pair. Next time you sell shoes, remember to come and buy them from me."

Shen Jiyao handed over the money and said with a smile, "Definitely come."

After buying the shoes, Shen Jiyao walked around the street for a long time, first bought a suit of clothes for Lan Qianjue, and then went to the iron shop at the end of the street.

Lan Qianjue didn't know what he was going to do at the iron shop, but he didn't ask much.

He held Shen Jiyao's hand tightly. At this moment, his heart was full of the gentle and beautiful appearance of the other party, and he wished to hug him into his arms to be tender. He didn't expect that Shen Jiyao just had some money in his hand. It turned out to be to buy clothes, how could he not be moved by this.

After going to the iron shop, Lan Qianjue found out that he actually wanted to buy iron nets.

The blacksmith looked puzzled and said, "Iron net? I've never heard of it."

Shen Jiyao thought for a while, then squatted on the ground and picked up a thin wire to write and draw on the mud floor, describing: "The net made of thin wires has gaps in the middle, and they are put together horizontally like a fishing net. There are countless small holes, can you make one for me?"

The blacksmith looked at the pattern he drew for a while, and said, "I'll try it, but you wait."

Shen Jiyao nodded gratefully, and went outside the shop with Lan Qianjue to wait.

Two quarters of an hour later, the blacksmith came out with a rectangular iron net. He said happily, "Little brother, is this the iron net you are talking about?"

Shen Jiyao hurriedly nodded and said yes. He took it and looked at it. Although the wire was a little thicker, but fortunately it was similar to the wire mesh he was going to make, so he just used it.

They spent six copper coins to buy an iron net, and the two went to the grain store to buy some soy sauce pepper and crushed dogwood foam, and also bought a few small melons and cabbages, and then they left the town. Go to the village.
