Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

According to the intermediary, although his family raised thousands of animals, he was never willing to kill one to eat meat. Even on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, when his family offered sacrifices to their ancestors, he could not buy a piece of meat to offer. , he only asked his son to borrow a pound of cooked meat from the butcher shop where his livestock was purchased, put it in a basin, and then put a few copper plates on a plate. In this way, he offered sacrifices to his ancestors and prayed: "Drinking alcohol is harmful to your health. Please eat it." Meat, I borrowed the meat from the butcher shop. It’s fragrant and delicious. I’m busy and didn’t have time to buy fruit, so I’ll use my money as fruit.  "

After the sacrifice was completed, he sent his son to take the meat back to the meat shop.

What's more, when his little grandson died, his daughter-in-law dressed the dead baby and prepared it for burial, but he just took off the little clothes on the child, and took the child to the cemetery with only a straw mat rolled up. Yes, before the burial, I also brought back the roll of the child's straw mat, lest it be wasted!

After listening to the middleman's story, Caiwei felt that she had met the Chinese version of Grandet, a miser who only recognized money and not people. He did not even regard his ancestors and descendants. If there were not enough benefits, it would be He will not sell the food in his hands easily.

Sure enough, after meeting Li Tieji, Caiwei proposed to buy the grain he had hoarded, but he refused.

Caiwei has raised the price of grain to the highest level. The original price of grain per stone was 400 Wen, but Caiwei has doubled the price. The price given by Caiwei is 800 Wen, which is the same as the market price, but Li Gongji He flatly refused, insisting on one tael of silver.

Caiwei never liked being taken advantage of, and the price of 800 yuan was already the limit of what she could offer, so the negotiation collapsed.

However, Caiwei had no intention of giving up the food he had stored up. Since he refused to sell it, she had no choice but to rob it. Who dared him to blackmail her, and she had a space artifact!

Seeing that the business failed, the middleman didn't delay and took Caiwei to his next home.

The owner of the second house is easy to talk to, but from the moment Caiwei walked in, his squinting eyes were glued to Caiwei's face, and he refused to leave. That wretched look could be touched with his heels. Think of what he is going to do.

Sure enough, when Caiwei mentioned that she wanted to buy his grain at a high price, he readily agreed, but made a small additional request, asking Caiwei to have a meal alone in the evening.

As a person of two generations, Caiwei naturally knew the meaning of this meal, but she did not reveal it. She only agreed with a smile, and promised that after the meal, she would hand over the money and deliver the goods.

After coming out, the middleman said to Caiwei sincerely: "Miss, this gentleman has a bad heart at first sight. I'll look at it, I might as well not do this business."

Caiwei smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, but since I agreed, I will have a way to deal with it, so don't worry!"

Seeing Caiwei's behavior, the stranger stopped trying to persuade her and took her elsewhere.

Running from noon until dark, Caiwei only bought 3,000 shi of grain. Ancient grain measurement units were calculated by volume. For example, one liter equals ten liters, one dou equals ten liters, and one stone equals ten dou (in the past, dendrobium was used). ).

One stone of grain is enough to feed a soldier for a month, and three thousand stone of grain is not even a tiny bit different from the monthly consumption of a hundred thousand troops.

During the acquisition process, the middleman worked very hard and was neither exaggerated nor biased. Therefore, in the end, even though it did not reach the 10,000 dan they had agreed upon in advance, Caiwei still picked out a century-old ginseng tree in excellent condition and gave it to him.

The middle-aged man gratefully accepted it, said goodbye to Caiwei and left.
