Zhang Xiao suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to speak according to what was written on the paper.
"Do you know a drop of soy sauce that is hard to find?" "Taste the world and taste the Nine Continents.
"Yes, soy sauce. Do you sell soy sauce? Come, how much is it? I'll take it all. "The person who asked pointed to the pot and said.
"Then, do you know the strange fragrance that turns the Yin and Yang into Mandarin Ducks?" Zhang Xiao said according to the script.
Someone next to him shouted, "Yes, the things from Li Jia Village on the east bank of Ba River are very expensive."
"What I'm going to take out for you to taste today is Li Dongzhu's … Nine Turns … Ileum … Ha! What! Ma! "
As soon as Zhang Xiao finished speaking, he suddenly opened the lid of the small pot and a strong fragrance came out.
The onlookers inhaled. One was inhaling the smell, and the other was stunned by the name.
"Come, everyone, try a small piece each. Don't eat too much." Zhang Xiao poured some water from the bucket into the pottery basin and washed the plates and chopsticks.
After washing, there were a total of ten plates and a piece of frog meat in each plate.
When the onlookers saw clearly what was in the plate, they were all speechless.
"Isn't this a toad? What Nine Twists and Turns Back to My Intestines, Hashma, Toad? You're so funny. "
Someone recognized it at a glance and pointed to Zhang Xiao while shaking his head.
"Yes, yes, Nine Turns Ileum. I'm so moved." Another person echoed.
"Your toad is a toad. Mine is made by Li Dongzhu. It's called Hashima. Have a taste." Zhang Xiao handed over the plate and chopsticks.
Needless to say, the rest of the plates and chopsticks were taken away by him.
There was only one piece on each plate, not a whole toad.
"It's delicious. Give me another piece." The first person who ate was chewing and handed over the plate.
"One bite each, no more." Zhang Xiao took the plate and reached out for the chopsticks, refusing to give more.
"How can one piece be enough? I haven't tasted it yet. Give me a few more."
"Yes, it's not good to eat. I'll try more."
"Toads are worthless. Stingy."
"I'm leaving if you don't give it to me."
"Disperse, disperse, the stench is unbearable."
Those who had never eaten a dish cooked in red sauce before were shocked. They immediately tried to think of ways to eat it without spending money.
The others weren't fools. Seeing them like this, they urged Zhang Xiao to continue.
Zhang Xiao washed the chopsticks and wiped them clean with a piece of paper. She took out ten more pieces and handed them to different people.
"Tell me, how much is it?" The first person who asked the question smacked his lips and asked for the price.
"Do you know about soy sauce? Do you know stinky tofu? Owner Li has said that he won't sell my Nine Turns Returning Bowel Hama for less than a hundred bucks. "
Zhang Xiao mustered up the courage to state the price.
The first person who asked the question frowned and asked, "These are all broken pieces, how do you know if it's the same one?"
"I've got a whole one in my pot. You can decide for yourself whether it's male or female. The size is the same. The one who picks first wins, and the one who picks later doesn't have to complain." Zhang Xiao continued to shout according to the script.
"Give me two … no, five." The person directly asked for five. His eyes were fixed on the toads in the pot. "This one, and this one, the one at the side, no, move it a little."
Zhang Xiao took a small basket made of oil paper and gently picked out five toads with the chopsticks.
The person took it and shouted, "Give me the money."
Someone from behind handed over a silk cloth and said, "Give me fifty bucks."
Zhang Xiao took the cloth and handed it to the villagers.
The villagers opened it and looked carefully. If there was anything wrong with it, they didn't want it.
After checking it once, the villagers counted out fifty Kaiyuan Tongbao from the basket on the ox cart and handed it over.
It was now the Kaiyuan era, but Kaiyuan Tongbao had existed before.
The other party took it and several people protected the buyer and left with the rest of the silk cloth.
"I'll buy one." Another person tried it and couldn't help but take out a roll of cloth.
The villager took out a ruler and measured out a length. He confirmed it with the other party. The other party nodded and cut it with scissors.
"I'll buy two. Can you open the pot? No? I choose. I want this. These two are about the same, right? Come on. "
The third person directly gave him three pieces of cloth. When put together, they were exactly the same length.
Zhang Xiao was wiping his sweat and sighing. Sure enough, there were many rich people in the East Market. They even bought toads that cost a hundred bucks.
How could he repay the favor that his Zhang Village owed Li Dongzhu?
"Let me take a look." A spy's voice sounded. Soon after, yellow clothes and white robes appeared. It was Huang Men from the palace.
He ate one piece, then another. "Okay, you don't need to open the pot. Take it with the pot. I'll give you two bolts of silk."
"No, these two bolts of silk are only worth ten thousand bucks. Mine is worth twenty thousand bucks." Zhang Xiao firmly refused. His legs were quietly trembling.
"I said yes?" Huang Men stared.
"Li Dongzhu said no. If you dare to rob me today, I'll tell Li Dongzhu." Zhang Xiao stubbornly retorted.
"Which, which Li Dongzhu? Tell me. "Huang Men scouted first.
"On the east bank of Ba River, Li Family Zhuangzi, Li Yi, Li Dongzhu. The things we make are taught by Li Dongzhu. I'm the village chief of Zhang Village. "Zhang Xiao shouted.
"You … he … four bolts of silk. Bring the pot back to me first. You go with him. I don't want the pot." Huang Men was terrified.
The Huang Men who could go out to buy must have a special relationship in the palace.
Naturally, they were well-informed.
Who dared to touch Li Yi's Zhuangzi? General Gao went there to buy soy sauce every few days. It was only fifty-five bucks per catty. It was said that Her Majesty also went there.
"Lao Wu, you drive the carriage." Zhang Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The person behind the Huang Men picked out four bolts of silk and threw them down.
"Quick, I want hot ones." Huang Men didn't buy anything else and urged.
An ox carriage left. When the others saw that Huang Men had bought it, they hurried.
There were silk, a lot of copper coins, silk, silk, satin, brocade, damask, silk, and all kinds of things.
These things were differentiated by the different types of silk, tussah and mulberry silkworm. The other type of silk was different, raw silk and cooked silk.
There were also different patterns, diagonal, straight, horizontal, Yin, Yang, and no patterns.
Other than that, there were dyeing and embroidery.
Embroidery of a rich peony and then dyeing of the peony, the price was naturally different.
Zhang Xiao didn't know the price at all, so he could only ask others. There were officials in charge of the East Market. They ate a few mouthfuls of braised toads and guided them at the side.
When it was almost noon, they were all sold out. The ox carriage also came back.
Lao Wu happily took six Chinese crepes. Including the village chief, there were exactly six people.
"Second brother, Huang Men are easy to talk to. He gave me something. Look, it's delicious." Lao Wu showed off the Chinese crepes.
The village chief slapped him on the head. "It's just Chinese crepes. Didn't you eat them when you were working at Li Dongzhu's place?"
"No, second brother. I was watching the meat." Lao Wu told the truth.
Li Yi and Zhuangzi had Chinese crepes for people to adjust the taste. The farmers didn't necessarily have to eat meat.
There was meat for every meal, but what they wanted to eat was not meat.
When the people of Zhang Family's village went to work, the simplest idea was to eat meat and take advantage of it.
Especially the slices of fatty meat. When the people of Zhuangzi were choosing the lean meat to eat, the people of Zhang Family's village would pick the fatty meat.
After eating, they really saved food. When they went back to the village for dinner, they couldn't eat so much.
The saved food was naturally for their parents, wife, and children to eat more.
"You have never seen the world. Let's go to the West Market to buy things and then go back." Zhang Xiao instructed.
"One for each of us." Lao Wu wanted to eat Chinese crepes.
Zhang Xiao slapped him on the head again. "Will you starve to death if you don't eat? When we go back home, I'll give it to your San Wa. Your San Wa, Xiao Ye, has so many worms in his stomach. He's so thin. If it weren't for Li Dongzhu, your San Wa wouldn't have survived this year. "
The group of people left. The East Market was expensive, so they went to the West Market.
They didn't eat and drank water. There was water in the bucket.
