MTL - You Are Not In Exile, You Are Clearly Traveling!-Chapter 102 good impression
Chapter 102 Favorability
Xie Yunshang did not expect to gain so much from his return trip. First, he met Master Chen in time, and then he got the life-saving golden sore medicine.
In fact, if Mr. Chen presented the source of the golden sore medicine to the imperial court, he might be able to make meritorious deeds, and then he would no longer need to be exiled.
But Mr. Chen did not do this. The ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade. The current emperor is not a wise king. Therefore, offering this medicine is probably like a meat bun beating a dog...
So, instead of competing for some illusory credit, it is better for Xiaoxue to collect more contribution points.
After several turmoils, he clearly understood that only by becoming stronger can he protect his family and himself.
And Chen Xue’s contribution is a strong backing for them.
“By the way, we wanted to buy some pigs, but we couldn’t find them after searching all over the county, so we wanted to ask the county magistrate. After all, he is in charge of the county, so he might have clues...”
"no problem!"
Even if there was no transaction just now, Xie Yunshang would not refuse Mr. Chen’s request.
But, he was a little confused, what did Mr. Chen want the pig for?
Could it be to improve the food?
After all, Xie Yunshang knows what the exiled team eats, and how that kind of food is worthy of Lord Chen.
Just, if you want to improve your food, can you buy mutton and chicken?
Why buy a pig?
Pork is not delicious!
If this wasn't a frontier, he could have given Mr. Chen a few kilograms of beef to supplement his nutrition.
Perhaps it was for trade, Xie Yunshang thought that Mr. Chen and the others had just asked him to use supplies instead when he bought the golden sore medicine in the future.
But he guessed that Mr. Chen’s gold sore medicine was purchased from others, so Mr. Chen should have exchanged the supplies for the gold sore medicine with others.
In an instant, he thought of some secluded families, or villages that had not been exposed all year round, and were in contact with Mr. Chen, so he did not ask for silver, but asked for supplies.
With these thoughts in mind, Xie Yunshang approached Magistrate Xu. After hearing this, Magistrate Xu was very curious, but he immediately agreed.
It just so happens that a few days ago, a foreign businessman drove a group of pigs to the county government and asked the county government if he would accept them.
If it was a flock of sheep, the county government would definitely accept it without saying a word, but if it were pigs, unless you were a powerful cook, it would be difficult to get rid of the fishy smell, so County Magistrate Xu asked his subordinates to refuse.
Who knows, the Chen family suddenly wanted to buy a pig, which made him confused, but he had to immediately ask his servants to find the businessman back.
Soon, a government servant came over with a businessman, and the businessman could be seen driving several black pigs.
Black pigs are small in size, about the same size as lambs. They are all black and covered with long black hair.
From appearance alone, black pigs are ugly.
No wonder few people eat it. Many people subconsciously feel that the uglier the food, the more unpalatable it is.
“Xu County Magistrate…”
The businessman immediately saluted the county magistrate and then became a little curious as to why the county magistrate called him over. Didn't he say before that he would not buy pigs?
"No gift." Magistrate Xu waved his hand and asked quickly, "How do you sell this pig?"
Chen Xue next to her looked a little strange. She always felt that Magistrate Xu was swearing, but she had no evidence.
The businessman was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and said with some joy, "Five taels... no, only two taels for these two ends."
Originally, he wanted to say five or two, but he was the county magistrate in front of him. There was absolutely no harm in making friends with him. Moreover, the man next to him was wearing armor and he was obviously a general.
So, these people are all noble people, he is a businessman, he likes investing the most, and he uses small things to make big things.
So, now that the opportunity is rare, why doesn’t he seize it?
"One or two?" Chen Xue was a little surprised that the black pig was so expensive, but when you think about it, things are more expensive when they are rare. Although black pigs are eaten by fewer people, they also lead to fewer people raising them, so the price is normal.
"No need." Mr. Chen shook his head at this time, "It is as much as it should be. Although we are trapped here, we will not take anything by force..."
"this…"
After hearing Master Chen's words, the businessman was a little curious about his identity. After all, one of them was the county magistrate and the other was a general. Only Master Chen was dressed simply. He thought he was a servant, but he actually dared to speak first in front of the two adults. .
This illustrates the problem.
However, the general and the county magistrate did not express dissatisfaction, which obviously showed that the identity of the man in front of him was not simple.
When the businessman saw this, how could he dare to show his dissatisfaction? He immediately respected him and said, "What about this sir, five taels of silver per head?"
After all, he just said five taels. Although he did not indicate whether it was one end or two ends, from the words of this adult, you can see his character.
So he followed what he said before, 2 heads and 5 taels, and he did not suffer any loss, and this gentleman also... did not suffer any loss.
"good!"
Mr. Chen nodded. In fact, he could guess that the merchant originally wanted to give five taels per head, but now it is five taels and two heads. They can be considered an advantage.
But in fact, even if there are 2 heads and 5 taels, the businessman actually does not suffer a loss, and Mr. Chen is not really that old-fashioned. It is impossible to really continue to fight. It would be better to fight for 5 taels and 1 head. After all, he is not Really taken advantage of.
In fact, the reason why he asked for the original price was not only because of his character that he would not take advantage of others, but also to give Xie Yunshang and Magistrate Xu a good impression.
Originally, he disdained such tactics, but now that his family has become an exiled prisoner, and he cannot protect himself, he understands the importance of connections.
If he could establish a good relationship with them and not only ask them to save him in times of crisis, but only ask them to lend a helping hand and save his wife and daughter, he would die without regrets.
Sure enough.
Hearing Master Chen’s words, Xie Yunshang nodded secretly. He is indeed the Master Chen whom I admire.
The county magistrate Xu was also a little surprised. Although it was only a matter of a few taels of silver, he could see Master Chen's character by looking at the small things.
This person is worth getting to know.
Although he is currently in exile, you can see from General Pingwei's attitude towards him that this person's future will definitely not be limited to this.
However, when it came to paying, the penniless Mr. Chen had to turn his head to look at his daughter.
Although he didn't want to accept this nickname, he was really penniless.
Although there were only two black pigs, Chen Xue was very happy. For a while, braised pork, braised pork trotters, braised elbows, braised pork ribs, sweet and sour pork loin, braised pork vermicelli, etc...
Countless dish names were wandering in her mind, making her swallow her saliva. It had been a long time since she had eaten pork.
Before time travel, pork was too expensive to buy, and then I could only eat takeout for work, which didn’t even have a few pieces of meat. After time travel, this was the first time I saw pigs in a different world, and I had never eaten pork before.
So, she really misses pork.
It’s a pity that the two pigs in front of me are both boars. It would be better if there were one male and one female, so that sustainable development could be achieved.
If there are two boars, they can only let them guess the game. Whoever loses will be eaten, and one can be kept as a breeding pig.
