Songjiangfu North Street is a very prosperous street. There are many shops on both sides of the street. Among them, there is a tall shop at the east end of the street. This shop is quite special. There is a fence in front of the door, as if it is deliberately preventing customers from entering.

Yes, and on the door of this shop, there is a plaque with four characters - Dingfeng Pawn Shop.

Butler Xu, who was wearing a shabby cotton-padded jacket, came out of the pawn shop door with an angry look on his face. After walking around the fence in front of the door, he turned around and glanced at the pawn shop door. He spat hard at the door and then turned around.

While cursing the evil-minded big shopkeeper in the pawn shop, he touched the withered purse in his arms and left slowly.

As soon as it dawned today, Butler Xu went out with a bag of clothes. Zhou Mansion is located in the south of the city. He also knows the pawnshops in the south of the city relatively well. He knows that the pawnshops there are darker than the others. In addition, he is also worried about being seen.

I went to the pawnshop to lose face to the Zhou family, so

Yi deliberately ran to the pawn shop in the north of the city, but the crows in the world were as dark as the crows. The two bags of clothes he brought today were only pawned for two coins. This money was not enough for them to celebrate the New Year. Thinking of this, Butler Xu couldn't help but turn around again.

He took a few breaths in the direction of the pawn shop.

In fact, you can't blame the pawn shop. People who pawn things will try their best to keep the price down. In addition, clothes are not like jade and antiques. New clothes may be more valuable, but as soon as the clothes are worn, they will be discounted by half, so no matter

Most of the fine clothes won't fetch much if they are taken to a pawn shop, except of course furs and the like.

Braving the cold wind in the early morning and returning to the south of the city, Butler Xu went to the vegetable market with money. He still had some rice at home, but he couldn't just eat porridge all the time, so he should buy some vegetables when he went back.

The vegetable market of Songjiang Mansion happens to be located in the south of the city, two streets away from Zhou Mansion. The so-called vegetable market is actually an open space. Various vegetable vendors push carts here to set up stalls. When dawn, there will be a dedicated person in charge of this place.

A lot of government officials come to collect taxes. Generally, each stall is

A few pennies is not a lot, but there are still some brave and stingy vegetable stalls who hide it when they see the government officials coming. As long as they are not discovered, they can have a few pennies left, but if they are caught doing this kind of behavior

If you do, you will be punished to death by the Yamen, and you may even get slapped with a slap in the face.

Butler Xu stepped into the vegetable market and immediately felt a fiery hustle and bustle. The vegetable stalls in the market were divided into five rows, leaving a narrow road between rows. People who came to buy vegetables were crowded.

On the road, while bargaining with vendors on both sides, all kinds of shouts come and go. You must shout when speaking here, otherwise the other party will not be able to hear what you are saying.

Although it is already winter, there are still a lot of vegetables in the vegetable market. Among them, the largest and cheapest ones are naturally the most common cabbage and radish. These two vegetables have large yields and can be stored in winter. Many farmers

They can dig a cellar and store a large amount of it. In winter, they can sell it to vegetable vendors or transport it to the city to sell it themselves, which can also be regarded as an income for them during their winter leisure time.

In addition to cabbage and radish, there are also spinach, chrysanthemum and other vegetables. Although these vegetables do not look very fresh, they are all shipped from warmer places in the south. The temperature in the south is not too low now, so these vegetables are still

It can survive, but if it takes another month or two, even the south will no longer be able to grow vegetables.

After Butler Xu entered the vegetable market, he walked directly to the stalls selling cabbage or radishes. As for southern vegetables like spinach, because they are all shipped from the south, the prices are very expensive. Most of the buyers are wealthy people.

Most people simply can't afford it. With the little money he has now, he can only buy the cheapest cabbage and radishes.

It turns out that winter has just entered, when the prices of cabbages and radishes are at their lowest. According to Butler Xu’s estimation, he could buy a bunch of cabbages for just a few pennies. But what he didn’t expect was that this year’s market was obviously not going to be the best.

Similarly, he visited several stalls in a row, and the prices of cabbage and radishes were far higher than he expected.

Finally, Butler Xu came to an old vegetable vendor. This vegetable vendor looked to be in his fifties or sixties. He had gray hair and was wearing a tattered cotton-padded jacket that was stained or even black and shiny. He was rubbing his hands in boredom.

He was holding the dirt on his neck. There were not many vegetables in front of him. Except for a small pile of cabbage that was not sold, there were also a few radishes that were not in good condition. They were probably leftovers picked by others, so the price was higher than others.

The stalls are cheaper.

Butler Xu estimated that he would not be able to buy cheap vegetables today, so while picking cabbages, he casually asked the old cabbage owner: "Brother, why have the cabbages and radishes increased so much this year? In previous years, they cost one penny and five kilograms, but

I have been selling it for so long this year, but you are the only one willing to sell it for one penny and three catties, while the cheapest ones in other places are only willing to pay one penny and two and a half catties. What's going on?"

Hearing Butler Xu's question, the old vegetable farmer patted his red neck and replied nonchalantly: "Brother, you are asking a bit of a layman's question. Look at the weather this year. It's only October and it's already so cold.

, those vegetables that were planted later in autumn were frozen to death in the ground.

In addition, many places in the south are no longer able to grow vegetables, so today’s vegetable prices are twice as high as in previous years. I think it’s because there are only a few leftover roots left, so the price has dropped.

Please tell me the price, otherwise if you had come earlier, it would have cost me one penny and two catties."

Hearing the words of the old vegetable farmer, Butler Xu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly. Now is the time when the family is short of money, but even the price of vegetables has increased this year. It can be foreseen that the life of the family will definitely be more difficult in the future.

The burden on the young master has become even heavier.

"Brother, you've been choosing for a long time. Do you want to buy it or not? This is the cheapest dish today. There is no such store after passing this village. Besides, I heard that there was a disaster in Shandong. No.

Many refugees have fled to our side. Maybe the price of food and vegetables here will rise in a few days, so I advise you to sell more now.

Order, otherwise you won't be able to buy such cheap vegetables when prices increase in the future!" the old vegetable farmer said a little impatiently. He only had these few vegetables left today, and he could go home early after selling them, but now

The man in front of him kept choosing and didn't say whether to buy or not. When other customers saw that there were few dishes and people in front of him, they were unwilling to come forward to ask the price.

"Buy, of course!" Butler Xu also knew that the store in front of him probably had the lowest price in the entire market, and there was indeed a shortage of vegetables at home, so he naturally agreed, but then he glanced at the few vegetables on the stall.

Weird-shaped radishes, and then said again: "Well, brother, you don't have much left to eat. I bought all the cabbages. Besides, these radishes can't be bought for much, so you can just give them as an extra."

How about it for me?"

"Xingxing, a few radishes are worthless, you can go home to drink a few cups of warm body after you buy it!" Although the old vegetable farmers have a hurry, they are also very refreshing.

Price, promise immediately.

Then the housekeeper Xu and the old vegetable farmers scaled the cabbage together. A total of ninety -three pounds, exactly thirty -one text, the other party removed another text, which is equivalent to sending another three pounds of cabbage to Xu Housekeeper.

I'm happy, saying that I will find each other next time I buy food.

Butler Xu borrowed the other wheel car to send the cabbage and radishes in the early hundred pounds of vegetables, and then pushed it back to return the car to the old vegetable farmers, but he did not immediately leave the vegetable market. Instead, he went to the west side of the market.

Most of the vendors selling fish or meat in the market are concentrated there. The family has been broken at home for a long time. Yesterday, Luo Yan sent two kinds of meat dishes to let everyone solve it, but this also reminded him, young master and young master and young master and young master

Miss and they have been used to it since they were young.

Compared with those stalls selling vegetables, the stalls selling fish here are obviously more deserted. There are millions of people in Songjiang Prefecture, and there are 200,000 people in the city alone, but the meat that can be eaten in these people

There are still a few, even if there are some people with relatively solid family members, they only buy one or twice a month to buy the meat and go back to solve it.

The servants who bought them, these servants are dressed brightly, and the owners generally need a lot of meat, so they are the most generous. They are most popular with meat vendors and fish vendors.

Zhoufu used to send people to buy it often before, but Zhou Guanjia, as a big manager, naturally did not manage this kind of thing in person. There are special management affairs in the government responsible for buying. He at most is to check it. It is precisely because of this. This is also because of this.

, Xu Hostel is not very familiar with the vegetable market.

Butler Xu first went to a few stalls selling fish, but found that most of the sea fish sold were sold. After all, there were seafood on the east and south side of Songjiang Prefecture.

The price is not expensive. A large fish of ten pounds is only a few texts. In addition, there are some small fish, and the price is cheaper.

However, for these sea fish, the housekeeper Xu didn't buy it, because no one in the family liked to eat sea fish. The only young lady bracelet who liked fish, she also only liked to eat river fish.

There are also fish vendors selling riverfish or lake fish, but the price is twice as expensive than sea fish. Butler Xu touched the dry bag in his arms, but in the end, he did not heart.

There are a lot of stalls selling pork. Butler Xu stepped a few laps to understand the approximate price, and finally came to a stall with the best business. This meat -selling stall owner was a young man in his twenties.

The face is thick, the body is burly and strong, and the cold day is only wearing a single clothes, and the right hand is holding a sharp knife. As long as there are buyers to buy meat, there are only a lot of meat cut down in one knife.

I took it away at all.

"Little brother, how do you sell your meat here?" Butler Xu asked in front of the stall.

"Twelve fat meat, lean meat ten texts, how much do you always want to buy?" The thick young butcher said with a smile. Although the housekeeper Xu was worn, his figure didn't look like a poor person at first glance,

The young butcher naturally also has this eye power, and it is determined that he is a big master, so he is also very enthusiastic.

"This ..." The housekeeper Xu had previously checked the account purchased in the government and knew the price of pork. If he remembered it correctly, the pork this fall was only eleven text this fall.

That's it, but now it does not fall down. It seems that the older brother who sold vegetables did not lie to him before. The disaster in the northern disaster did affect Songjiang's prices, but now that the victims have not entered the city, the price has risen.

With so many, if the victims arrived in the future, I don't know how much it would rise?

Thinking of this, the housekeeper Xu couldn't help sighing. He just wanted to let the other party give him a lean meat. At this time, he only listened to someone beside him and screamed loudly: "Well, isn't this a housekeeper?
