Chapter 278 The Two Devils in the Vegetable Market
It takes more than ten miles to walk to the nearest county town from Laiqu Inn, which is quite far.
The two of them re-planned the division of labor, with Li Changxiao playing the good guy and Mei Sanniang playing the bad guy.
Summarize the experience of the last failure.
My fighting spirit was rekindled, and I saw another boss pushing a bread cart towards the city.
The two men's eyes lit up and they immediately surrounded him. Li Changxiao was about to play the good cop when he realized that the buns were really cheap, only a few cents each. For a moment, he couldn't bear it.
Finally...the shop owner, thinking that the young couple might have some unspeakable secrets, kindly gave them a steamed bun.
The two of them were disheveled in the wind.
"No!" Mei Sanniang said coldly, "Your heart is not cold enough, let me do the red face."
The two exchanged roles, and by chance, they saw a snack vendor selling frozen pears and candied haws.
Mei Sanniang went to negotiate with a blushing face, and Li Changxiao tried to smooth things over with a white face, and even tried to "pretend to leave" in an attempt to get the boss to stay.
In the end...I bought a string of candied haws for a copper coin.
Li Changxiao's wallet was completely empty. The two men each got three pills, and the loot was divided neatly. He was so sad that he could not even cry.
The two of them were already short of a copper coin before they even started buying groceries, and the key point was that their moves were not put to use.
They finally realized that they had no talent for bargaining.
"Got it!" Mei Sanniang's eyes lit up, and a plan came to her mind again. She turned her head to look at Li Changxiao, and nodded several times, showing great satisfaction.
She said seriously: "We still have one last trick."
Li Changxiao pricked up his ears.
Mei Sanniang said in a deep voice: "Beauty trap!"
She stood on tiptoe, put her hand on Li Changxiao's shoulder, and said thoughtfully: "With our looks, can't we buy cheap vegetables?"
"How about this, you get the girls, and I'll get the boys! Use seduction!"
Li Changxiao was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but... he suddenly realized that this trick seemed to work.
He pondered and nodded slowly.
Mei Sanniang's eyes lit up, "Today, the two of us will become the market duo! Kill everyone! Hahahaha."
"Kill them all!" Li Changxiao echoed.
then.
Mei Sanniang gave her only two pieces of silver to Li Changxiao, as if entrusting him with half of the mission.
They both shouldered a heavy responsibility.
And this time.
Finally, we arrived at the nearest town. After hundreds of years of development, this town has become a big city, bustling with people and very prosperous.
"Gather at the city gate in the evening." Mei Sanniang said solemnly.
"Okay!" Li Changxiao nodded.
Then they split up.
The two evil spirits in the vegetable market began to kill everyone.
Li Changxiao pinched his chin and decided not to rush into purchasing. As the saying goes, only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
He first walked around the big city casually to learn about the city’s culture and history, average vegetable prices, etc.
He found that the price of vegetables in this city was not expensive, and the people who bought vegetables were either middle-aged women or middle-aged men, which made him feel a little troubled.
These people are not so easy to bargain with.
And he was holding a piece of silver instead of loose copper coins.
The purchasing power of small change is much higher than that of copper coins. If you use small change to pay, people will think you are a rich kid and only a fool would lower the price.
So... before killing everyone.
We need to find a way to exchange the small change for copper coins.
Thinking of this, Li Changxiao happened to walk to the door of a restaurant.
It is the most luxurious restaurant in this big city.
He had only eaten three candied haws in the morning, but somehow he walked into the restaurant.
Ordered two side dishes.
Only when you are well fed and well-drinking can you have the strength to work and, by the way, change the change into copper coins.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Soon the waiter brought the dishes up.
The dishes in this restaurant are really good, fragrant but not greasy, and very delicious.
Due to budget issues, Li Changxiao did not order any wine, but only ordered one meat dish and one vegetable dish.
After eating the meat and vegetables together, Li Changxiao shouted, "Waiter, check out!"
The waiter came over with an apologetic smile on his face and said, "Sir, your dragon and phoenix dish costs two taels of silver, and your green pepper and cabbage costs fifteen copper coins."
"How much?" Li Changxiao was stunned.
The waiter repeated it.
Cold sweat began to appear on Li Changxiao's forehead.
My habit of spending money lavishly just now came back again.
He began to feel around, even the boots, and finally... he only found the silver coin that Mei Sanniang had given him...
"Brother, can I buy on credit?" Li Changxiao silently took the change back. This silver was to be used to buy vegetables.
The waiter's smile instantly disappeared, he snatched the silver coin, and said with a dark face: "Okay! You want to eat for free, huh? Come here, here is a..."
"Don't..." Li Changxiao interrupted.
He paused, sighed softly, and said skillfully: "I'll wash the dishes to pay off the debt."
……
Li Changxiao had just been brought into the kitchen.
Another guest came outside the Longfeng Restaurant.
It was a woman, who was extremely charming. She was carrying bags of food in her hands. As soon as she entered the restaurant, she waved her hand and ordered three meat dishes and one vegetable dish.
Her lavish demeanor made the waiter think that a wealthy lady had come, and he did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
Mei Sanniang threw a seductive glance at the waiter, which made the waiter completely bewildered.
soon.
Three meat dishes and one vegetable dish have all been arranged.
Dragon and Phoenix, braised pork, carp, and a serving of shredded green pepper and cabbage.
"Waiter, bring some more wine!" Mei Sanniang waved her hand with great generosity.
The waiter's eyes lit up, and fearing that he would disturb the young lady's interest, he immediately served her the most expensive drink in the store.
"good."
Mei Sanniang took a sip and commented calmly, "It tastes fragrant but not too strong, it's okay."
"Yes, yes." The waiter nodded repeatedly.
Mei Sanniang enjoyed the meal with fine wine and delicious food.
Wait until you are full and satisfied.
She waved her hand again, full of energy, "Waiter, check out!"
“Auntie, the total…” The waiter came over happily.
"Wait!" Mei Sanniang interrupted the waiter.
She smiled charmingly and asked the waiter, "Handsome guy, do you think I am beautiful?"
"Beautiful, extremely beautiful!" The waiter swallowed his saliva and added in his mind, "And very..."
Mei Sanniang smiled confidently, "Well, now tell me how much this meal is worth."
The waiter was almost stunned, and barely came to his senses, "Ten taels in total."
Mei Sanniang heard this and glared at the waiter. How could this guy be so rude? He had already made it so obvious.
Shouldn't it be free?
She said pitifully, "But I only have ten copper coins left."
As she spoke, she winked at the waiter.
Exuding his invincible charm.
But unexpectedly, the waiter's face gradually became gloomy.
He sneered and said, "Okay, I figured it out. Another freeloader, right?"
Mei Sanniang suddenly felt that things were a little beyond her expectations. She forced a smile and said, "Look at what you are saying. Why would I eat a free meal? Look at me, I am so beautiful. Shouldn't I get a discount or something?"
"Looking good doesn't count as a meal. If I give you a free meal, the boss will beat me to death." The waiter was firm.
Mei Sanniang's expression gradually turned ugly, "You really can't be flexible?"
"No." The waiter said firmly.
"Well then..." Mei Sanniang sighed and said helplessly, "I'll wash the dishes to pay off the debt."
"Hey, people nowadays." The waiter took Mei Sanniang to the kitchen.
I lament that the current environment is really not good.
Young people have no money, but they love to act big.
"Hey!" Arriving at the back kitchen, the waiter pointed at the man who was wiping the dishes with his sleeves rolled up and said, "He is also a freeloader like you. Go sit next to him and wash all the dishes."
The words fell.
Mei Sanniang looked over, and Li Changxiao also stopped what he was doing and looked over.
"Mei Sanniang?"
"Li Changxiao?"
Two voices sounded at the same time.
There was a strong sense of surprise in his words.
No one would have thought that the two evil spirits in the vegetable market, who were supposed to be killing everyone, would actually meet in the kitchen.
"Oh?" The waiter said sarcastically, "What a coincidence, we know each other."
