Chapter 127 Tiger Seller on the Street
: Luocheng Market. Among the dark crowds, Shang Jiuge in white is standing in the crowd. Next to him is a straw-covered cart with a colorful tiger lying on its back.
The tiger has a grass sign stuck on its head and a sign hanging on it.
Black and white.
Fifty liang each.
The so-called hero is short of breath, a tiger falls flat and is bullied by a dog, Qin Qiong sells his horse, and Yang Zhi sells his sword. They are all poor and helpless.
But no one has ever sold a tiger on the street.
Except for Shang Jiuge.
Because Shang Jiuge is selling tigers now.
Fifty-two pieces each, limited sale, only one in the world, first come first served.
Shang Jiuge chased this tiger for almost a whole night before he caught up. Hujiang always chased others, and he had never been chased so embarrassingly by others. In the end, he was out of breath and was forced to fight Shang Jiuge hand-to-hand, and was beaten by that fancy fist. I don’t know how many hits he took before he collapsed. After all, Shang Jiuge was not a player like Wu Song. He could hold down the tiger and beat him hard.
She is more like a light assassin. I can hit you, but you can't hit me. She fights and attacks, kills her with one blow, and finally carries the tiger out of the forest, intending to carry it to Luo City.
It can only be said that Shang Jiuge has really worked hard.
Now this tiger has been dead for less than half a day, and its body is not stiff yet. Moreover, because it was killed by fists, its fur is not damaged at all. One paw is almost as big as a human head. It is placed on the straw like this, with its head There are also grass signs inserted.
It can be said that the situation has reached this point, and it really can no longer decline.
But Shang Jiuge was very dissatisfied.
At this time, her tiger stall had been crowded into three floors inside and three floors outside. Everyone was commenting on the tigers and marveling at them, but the sign that clearly said fifty taels per tiger was written in black and white.
But no one came out to ask the price.
This made Shang Jiuge very depressed.
"Don't any of you want to buy it?" Shang Jiuge couldn't help but ask.
The people around him were silent.
Fifty taels for a tiger, it’s really super cheap when you think about it.
Just peeling off the tiger skin would cost more than fifty taels.
But the question is, how many of the people watching today can come up with fifty taels?
Fifty taels of silver is really not a small amount of money. Ten stones of grain is enough to buy one acre of fertile land. One tael of silver can almost buy two stones of grain. In other words, fifty taels of silver can buy ten acres of fertile land.
Who can casually take out fifty taels of cash?
Even if you can take it out casually, like Sheng Junqian, he certainly has more than fifty taels on him.
But why would you buy such a big tiger?
Pushing a shelf cart away?
Therefore, selling tigers on the street happens only once in a century, and the little girl selling the tiger is fair, delicate, and very lovable.
Therefore, it is not surprising at all to say that there are three layers inside and three layers outside.
but.
Who buys it?
"Girl, we are just watching the excitement, we really can't afford it." Some people in the front row looked at Shang Jiuge and said sincerely. "After all, fifty taels for a tiger seems not expensive, but there are really not many people who can afford fifty taels of cash." "
Even if you can afford it, you have to be willing to buy it." Someone else agreed.
Shang Jiuge felt a little helpless.
Her favorite transaction was to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand. Since the tiger was worth fifty taels of silver, someone would come up and take out fifty taels of silver and push the tiger away. She took the money and returned it to He Ping, taking Feiye with her. The sword leaves.
What a simple and obvious thing.
But when I operate it, it's completely different from what I imagined, okay?
Now it seems that hunting the tiger is the easiest step in the whole process.
Shang Jiuge looked at Sheng Junqian. This young man had been standing next to him. He didn't actually help much, but he didn't stay away at all.
"Do you have any good ideas?" Shang Jiuge asked.
Shang Jiuge is the straightest and fastest sword in the world, but no matter how straight or fast she is, she can't force others to buy her tiger.
"Do you know the profession of butcher?" Sheng Junqian asked.
"You know, someone who specializes in cutting ten pounds of lean meat into stuffing, ten pounds of fat meat and ten pounds of golden cartilage?" Shang Jiuge asked.
Sheng Junqian covered his face: "Don't watch so many young ladies in Water Margin." "
Butchers, simply put, are those who kill pigs and sell their meat." Sheng Junqian corrected him: "At the same time, those who kill dogs and sheep are also Call the butcher."
"There aren't that many people in the world who eat hair and drink blood. If I give you a whole pig, not many people in the world will eat it." When Sheng Junqian said this, Shang Jiuge interrupted: "I can."
Shang Jiuge grilled fish and rabbit to eat by himself. Even if it is a wild boar, it can be roasted and eaten with pig legs.
All delicious.
Shang Jiuge verified it with his tongue and stomach.
"When did you have the illusion that you are the majority of people in this world?" Sheng Junqian looked at Shang Jiuge and asked.
"In short, everyone eats pork, but who kills the pigs and cuts the meat themselves?" "If
you like to eat pig intestines, pull the pig intestines yourself, like to eat pig trotters, cut off the pig trotters yourself? Like to eat braised pork, like to eat ribs, both Do you want to chop off a piece yourself?"
Sheng Junqian patted the big tiger beside him, looked at Shang Jiuge and said with a smile, "The person who did this is a butcher."
"Butchers don't just kill pigs."
" He is also responsible for carving up the pig, the meat is the meat, the bones are the bones, the internal organs are the internal organs, the pig's trotters are the pig's trotters, the pig ears are used for wine, and the ribs are stewed in soup." "This is the butcher's job." "So a pig is called a
pig
. Only when you go to the butcher can you get your true value sublimated." "
The price of a pig may only be five taels of silver, but when you go to the butcher, after the parts are dismantled and sold, it may be sold for more than ten taels of silver." "Butcher
Five If you harvest a pig for two taels of silver and sell it for 10 taels of silver, this is the income from the butcher's work."
Shang Jiuge looked at Sheng Junqian.
She somewhat understood what Sheng Junqian meant.
"So." Shang Jiuge said.
"So, there are butchers in this world who kill pigs, sheep, cattle and dogs, but there are no butchers who kill tigers." Sheng Junqian nodded and said: "You are a whole tiger, even if someone needs to buy it back, but How does he deal with it?"
"Some people want tiger skin, some want tiger teeth, some want tiger bones, and some want tiger meat to eat, but I'm afraid there aren't many people who want all of these." "Okay,
I understand. Yes." Shang Jiuge nodded.
Sheng Junqian felt that Shang Jiuge didn't understand.
Shang Jiuge looked at the dark crowd in front of him: "Which of you knows how to kill a tiger? Please take this tiger away quickly."
The girl's expression was very serious: "I originally thought of this butcher, but after thinking about it, it's too troublesome to kill, and it's also very troublesome to sell." "If
any of you want to kill the tiger, I'll sell it to you for fifty taels."
"Only fifty taels. Two."
Before he finished speaking, the crowd suddenly parted like a tide, and four officials rushed over fiercely.
"It's you who came to the Luocheng market to sell things. Have you got the official documents?"
They said fiercely to Shang Jiuge.
