Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 39

The little butcher Hu also saw them, and his face was a little ugly. He wanted to goug him out, but he flinched when he thought of Qin Shao's hand strength that day.

Seeing a few of them walking towards the meat stall opposite, their faces became more aggrieved.

"Shopkeeper, Wan Liheng, how do you sell it?"

The third son asked the owner of the butcher shop. Although the boy was worried that he would not have enough money, he was very happy to hear that he could eat meat.

Go straight up and ask the price.

What the hell are you humming?Qin Shao was a little puzzled.

Look at the huge pig's head next to the pile of meat, isn't this pork?
But then he realized that this is Daming, but the world of the Zhu family.

I remember when I was in middle school, the teacher told the history that the Ming Dynasty used pork as "pork meat" or "swallow meat" in order to avoid the taboo of the emperor.

Fortunately, I didn't take the initiative to ask: how to sell pork?
If someone caught him saying that he was slandering the royal family, he might even get into a whole lot of trouble.

"1 yuan and 6 cents a catty!"

The fat boss said enthusiastically.

"It seems to be a bit more expensive, it was a penny a few days ago!"

Someone next to me said.

"You said 1 qian was when there were no bandits outside, but now you can't buy it at this price! Let me tell you, you can buy it here in Anlu. If you go to other places, it will be 50 kuai!"

The storekeeper still replied with a smile, it seems that he is also a businessman who knows how to calculate but is tricky.

"Butcher Li, the butcher Hu who is across the street can buy 5 catties of fat and get 1 catty of fat for free. Have you ever had one here?"

A lot of people gradually gathered around and began to talk about the price.

"Yes! Yes, we will give it too!"

Butcher Li said hurriedly.

It seems that the two are competing for business.

Freshly slaughtered pork belly costs 1 cent and 6 cents a catty. Qin Shao has not yet realized the price situation in this era, and feels that it is very cheap.

"Here comes the 30-jin boss!"

he shouted directly.

"Master, I bought too... too much!"

Han Jinrong and the third son shouted in unison.

These days, ordinary people buy 2 catties and [-] yuan, and the pot is a little oily, that is already a very good life!
It costs 30 catties to open the mouth, which is definitely a big deal.

"It's okay. If you buy too much, you can't finish it. You can marinate it. Everyone, Jin, we will send some."

Qin Shao said.

Han Jinrong manages the money now, like a little Grandet, counting every penny.

Hearing that some would be given to everyone Jin, Han Jinrong and the others stopped talking!
Da Jin's mother and son provided them with a place to stay, and they should really give them something to thank.

"Those pigs... how do you sell the bones?"

Qin Shao saw a lot of pig bones on one side, but those bones were picked quite clean, and the ants were a little slippery when they crawled on them.

"These things are not for sale, guest officer, do you want these things?"

Butcher Li looked at Qin Shao in surprise.

Seeing Li Tuhu's expression, Qin Shao felt that he was making some kind of joke again.

"Master, those bones are thrown away, no one wants them."

Han Jinrong explained in a low voice.

In her mind, Qin Shao should also be raised as a young master at home, and she doesn't understand this daily life.

"Boss, since you don't want these bones, how about giving them to us?"

Thick-skinned, eat big meat!
These bones were good things in the previous life, sometimes even more expensive than meat!
Unexpectedly, people in the Ming Dynasty did not eat these.

Although Ming cuisine has blossomed everywhere, eating pig offal is not yet popular.

"That's good! I'll give you all these bones today, and the guest officer will take care of the villain's business in the future!"

Butcher Li said happily.

These things are generally thrown away, and it is just a favor to give them away.

"Li Butcher, business is booming!"

When Butcher Li helped them pack the meat, passers-by would say hello from time to time.

It seems that Li Tuhu's popularity is very good.

"I sold a lot of money today, right? Your business is really rich!"

A familiar person came up and asked.

Seeing that Qin Shao and the others bought such a large piece of pork, they also took some pig bones. They were very surprised.

"What a fortune! I kill a million pigs a day, and I earn a hard-earned money a day!"

Butcher Li sneered.

"That's a good job, one yuan a day, three taels a month, and you'll have 3 taels a year, which is more than the groom in the county government!"

The man laughed.

Qin Shao was a little surprised!

Grandma, this pig-killing business is so profitable!

No wonder the two yamen staff in the restaurant said that the butcher was making money!

The county magistrate's salary is only 45 taels of silver a year.

The 36 taels of silver earned by the butcher Li a year, converted into the coins of his previous life, would be nearly 2 yuan.

The price of goods in this Ming Dynasty is basically equivalent to the 90s in the previous life.

Then Li Butcher here is equivalent to a million-dollar household!

What a rich man!

Nahu Butcher was still an independent business here before, and it is estimated that he earned more!

No wonder their county magistrate's son-in-law still relies on Yue's family!

It seems that in any era, doing business makes more money than farming.

If I also start a business, buy land with the money I earn, and buy a few stores, then I can sit and enjoy it?

"Master, you said selling meat is so profitable, why don't we sell meat too!"

On the way, as soon as Qin Shao explained the situation, the third son became very excited.

He is not good at other kung fu, but he is good at holding a stick and a knife. It shouldn't be difficult for him to learn it.

"Go back and make a total calculation. We may not be able to do it for the time being, but we can do something else!"

Qin Shao said.

"Why can't you sell thousands of dollars?"

The third son was a little puzzled.

"Didn't you hear that just now? The butcher Hu used to occupy his son-in-law, who was the son-in-law of the county magistrate, and he took over the exclusive business! After the new county magistrate came, this butcher Li opened the butcher shop, which shows that the butcher Li also has something to do with it." Yes, it doesn't matter, this business can't be done!"

Han Jinrong was still smart, and understood the truth at a glance.

"What should I do?"

The third son was a little frustrated.

I didn't expect that there are so many ways to sell a piece of meat.

"Master, if we find Mr. Qin, Mr. Qin is also on business, so it will be convenient for us to do business."

Little Sanzi suddenly thought of this shortcut.

"Forget it! You might as well dream of me going to the county government office to do business!"

Qin Shao wanted to smile bitterly.

"Grandpa, are you going to the county government office as a job? Can you really go? Can I go?"

The third son didn't understand Qin Shao's joke, so he asked directly.

It made Qin Shao and Han Jinrong laugh out loud, singing and laughing all the way

With the things they bought, Qin Shao and others returned to Jin's house.

In the evening it is big bones boiled meat!

30 catties of meat, big bones also have more than 30 catties.

The big pot at Mrs. Jin's house was full.

Qin Shao likes to eat chili peppers, but there are none here, but there are seasonings such as green onions and peppercorns.

Boil the meat and big bones, add water to the pot, put salt, green onions, peppercorns and wine, boil on high heat, and the aroma will soon overflow the whole yard.

Mrs. Jin and Jin Da had never eaten meat so extravagantly. When Qin Shao asked them to eat together, they were embarrassed.

Later, he said that he would stay at their house for a while longer, so the two came over to eat meat together.

Mrs. Jin didn't expect Qin Shao and the others to spend so much money and buy so many things.

For them, only rich people can be so extravagant.

Originally thought they were ordinary people who went to Anlu Prefecture to join their relatives.

Now it seems that I have lost my sight.

She declined the food Qin Shao gave them before accepting it.

"Engong, do you come to find your relatives and want to settle down here?"

Mrs. Jin asked.

"That's what I mean."

Qin Shao replied.

"Engong, it's not easy to find someone in this troubled world. There is chaos outside, and our place is indeed an easy place to live. In fact, if you can't find your close relatives, there is another way to settle here."

"Without close relatives, can you still settle in Anlu Prefecture?"

Qin Shao asked in surprise.
