Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 142 Buying Vinegar and Soy Sauce

If it was really fake, she wouldn't be able to tell.

If I hadn't been in the store, how would I know how many she actually sold? So no matter what, I had no choice but to trust her.

Yang Yun smiled and took back the account book: "Don't worry, I won't lie to you. We are now tied together, and I will not lose a penny that is due to you."

She is a person of integrity. If you choose to cooperate with her, she will not play tricks behind the scenes.

Ji Wenhe put the money into his purse and said, "Boss Yang, I'll bring you the silk at the end of next month. It's almost the busy season for farming, and the silk I brought back this month hasn't been finished yet."

"Okay, don't worry. I'm not afraid that you'll run away now."

"I won't run even if you chase me away."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Leaving Jinxiufang, we came to the spice shop that Yang Yun mentioned.

Looking at the four big characters on the plaque: 'Jiuqu Liuxiang'.

It is indeed very fragrant. I can smell the scent of various spices before I even enter.

Ji Wenhe was carrying a basket on his back. As soon as he entered the store, the shop assistant came up to him politely and said, "Sir, what do you want?"

"I want to ask how to sell soy sauce?"

"Soy sauce is fifty-eight per pound."

"What about vinegar?"

"88 cents a pound of vinegar."

“Is vinegar so expensive?”

The shop assistant nodded with a smile: "Our shop uses the best koji. If you try the flavor, you will know that it is different from other shops."

Next to the jar of vinegar were several stacked soy sauce dishes, and in the chopstick bucket there were small willow branches. He scooped out a drop and poured it in.

"Sir, please try it." He reminded, "Dip it with a willow branch. We have washed the dishes clean."

"After you use it, it will not be given to others. Please rest assured."

Ji Wenhe took the willow branch, dipped it in the vinegar in the dish, then put it in his mouth and frowned slightly.

It's sour and has a flavor that's different from any vinegar I've had before.

Shen Rongshan told her that vinegar is made from rice, wheat, sorghum and other raw materials. Grain is precious, so vinegar is naturally precious as well.

The shop assistant looked at her and said, "Sir, how do you like it?"

"tasty."

Although she had never tried other restaurants' food, Yang Yun was an old customer of theirs and would not recommend any bad food to her.

"Boss, Yang Yunyang from Jinxiufang told me that your store has affordable prices and the products you sell are not adulterated."

He nodded with a smile: "Boss Yang is a regular customer of our store and often introduces acquaintances to us. I will give you a discount of two cents for whatever you want to call."

"The shop is not mine. I am just working here. Even if the price is low, I am afraid I have no say in the matter."

When people introduced by acquaintances come over, they always ask for a lower price, a lower price, but he is not the boss.

The boss told him that the maximum discount he could get was two cents.

"I know. I won't make it difficult for you. Just give me half a pound of vinegar and half a pound of soy sauce."

Then he said again.

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring the pottery jar with me when I went out. Do you have small pottery jars in your store? How much would it cost if I bought the pottery jar as well?"

There are no extra clay pots at home.

"Yes, sir, please wait a moment."

As he spoke, he took out two small clay jars with large mouths from the cupboard.

"Sir, we have pottery jars that can hold half a pound of water. We don't have any smaller ones, but we also have pottery jars that can hold one pound of water."

He also took out a clay jar containing one pound and put it together.

"Do you want a one-pound package or a half-pound package?"

Ji Wenhe walked over and asked curiously, "Is it filled to the brim? Won't it leak?"

"It's said to be half a catty, but it can actually hold more than half a catty. It won't be full. We'll weigh it later, and we'll make sure you don't get any less."

"Then give me a half-pound one."

Come back and play after eating.

The shop assistant took two clay jars, placed them on a scale and motioned for her to come over and look.

"How much is a clay pot? Make it cheaper. I'll come to your house again after I've had a good meal."

"My family is a peddler. We want to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and sell them in the village. I hope to do business with your family for a long time."

"Sir, if you want to buy goods, you have to talk to our boss. I can't make the decision."

"You give me ten cents for the two pottery jars, and I'll give you two cents off for the vinegar and soy sauce, so the total is four cents."

"Okay, thank you."

Ji Wenhe wanted to negotiate the price again, but thinking of what he had just said, he decided not to make things difficult for the workers.

Wrap the mouth and put it carefully into the backpack.

The shop assistant politely walked her to the door and said, "Goodbye, sir. Come back next time."

There are still a lot of spices in the shop, but they are too expensive.

Buy some vinegar and make cold-mixed shredded black fungus.

When I think of the sour and spicy shredded wood ear mushrooms, my mouth starts to water unconsciously.

With brisk steps, I came to Zhou’s Rice Shop.

Shen Rongshan was loading goods onto the truck with the shop assistants.

Ji Wenhe walked over quickly and said, "Brother Shen, I have bought everything I wanted."

"There's another basket. Wait a minute."

"Okay, don't worry, take your time."

She stood by and waited. The owner of the shop was not there, only two shop assistants.

Shen Rongshan packed up, took the basket from her back, and carefully placed it on the car: "Wen He, sit on it, we are leaving."

"Hey."

Ji Wenhe came to the front and sat down. He led the donkey and walked on the street.

Looking at the stall beside the street, I suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Brother Rongshan, sister-in-law."

"Rongshan."

"Brother Rongshan."

Shen Rongshan turned around and saw two people waving at them and running towards them in the crowd.

"Brother Liang, An Guo, why are you here? Didn't you go to work?"

The two of them were so hot that their faces were red and sweaty, so it was probably not the one chasing them.

Shen Rongshan asked, "Do you have something for me to bring back?"

Shen Liang quickly shook his head: "No, we want to go back with you."

"But we have to carry the water to the master first. Are you in a hurry to go back? Otherwise, you don't have to wait for us."

He glanced at Ji Wenhe, who smiled.

"Don't worry, we'll wait for you outside the town."

Shen Anguo nodded vigorously: "It's almost the busy season at home. Go back and weed the fields. I'm afraid my mother can't handle it alone."

Shen Rongshan saw that they had nothing in their hands and asked in confusion, "Where is the water you carried?"

He pointed to a small stall not far ahead and said, "Over there, please have someone watch it. A thief just stole my purse and got it back."

They were running with sweat all over their faces, chasing the pickpocket.

"Then you guys go quickly." Ji Wenhe thought of Shen Erniu, "By the way, where is Uncle Shen? Isn't he going back?"

"My father wants to wait for two more days, so he asked me to go back first. I will come back home after I finish the work there."

"Okay, go ahead." Shen Rongshan waved the whip lightly.

The two responded.

"Okay, I won't keep you waiting too long."

They quickly ran back to the buckets, carried two buckets on their shoulders, walked through an alley, and delivered them to the owner to settle the bill.

“They’ve lost a lot of weight.”

And it looks a lot darker than before.
