Chapter 206 Haggis Soup
Zhou Guo looked at the tattered table in front of him. One of the legs was broken and the entire surface was moldy, gray and pitch black. Who knows how many years of old dirt had been attached to it.
I shook it and found that apart from the broken legs, the rest of the table was also unstable and it seemed like it would fall apart if I shook it.
Zhou Guo was speechless and said, "Boss, this table is in this state, are you still selling it? Are you sure it can be used? Don't lie to us just because we are young. We are young, not stupid!"
The shopkeeper said quickly, "Oh, no, no, no, no, how could I dare to lie to you? If I had lied to you, I wouldn't have brought you to see it. To be honest, this table was given to me by a family in our village to sell. I took it because I felt sorry for the family. I had originally planned to dismantle it and plane it for other materials since no one wanted it. You guys want to buy a table, right? I'll sell it to you at a low price. But don't worry, I will make sure it is very clean and stable before I give it to you. It must be a good table."
Zhou Guo looked at the moldy and black table with disgust.
Zhou Mai was also not satisfied. Looking at the condition of the table, he knew that the family was not a particular type of people. Although they were poor peasants, there was no need for them to buy a table like this.
Seeing their disgusted faces, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said, "If you want this table, give me eighty cents and take it away. I'll repair it and you can come and get it next time you go to market."
A table costs 80 cents, and Zhou Guo doesn't know how much a new set of tables and chairs costs. He looks at Zhou Mi, but Zhou Mi doesn't know either.
She said, "We have a large family. How much does a new set of tables and chairs cost?"
The shopkeeper said happily, "The cheapest set of tables and chairs here costs one hundred and twenty coins. Look, this is it."
So expensive!
Zhou Guo thought about it and decided to buy a new set and take the old one with him. He could use the new set for meals at home, and if there were a few guests at home, he could also use the old one. It would also be convenient to store things when he bought it.
She looked at Zhou Mi, who nodded and said, "We want a new set, and take the old one as well. We definitely can't charge this price for two sets of tables and chairs."
The shopkeeper's face almost couldn't hold back. He had just seen how powerful this young man was. "Young man, I'm just a small business, I don't make much money. To be honest, I sold this old table to you at such a low price, but I had to repair it myself, planing and repainting it, and I had to pay for it myself. This price for a new set of tables and chairs is really not expensive. The more expensive ones cost three or four strings of cash a set."
Zhou Mi said, "I know. I can't afford the three or four guan one either. I can only afford the cheapest one. We bought so many things from your house. You should calculate how much you have earned. There are not many people who can buy things like this these days. And look at your new one. It's almost the cheapest one. The paint is not even. It should be at least 100 wen less. This is a big problem. There is also a seam. Another 50 wen less. The table legs are so thin. Another 50 wen less. There is even such a big scar here. This should be another 200 wen less. It will get moldy and rotten after using it. Isn't it inappropriate for you to charge us so much for this table of this quality?"
Zhou Guo looked at it one by one as he said, and found that there were cracks and scars. The table was not wrong!
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said, "Young man, if you keep talking, I'll just give you this set of tables. I really don't make any money. So, this new set doesn't have to be 120 coins per string. Just make it an even number, 1 string! How about that? That's good enough, right? If you go any lower, I won't make any money."
Zhou Micai didn't believe his nonsense and gestured, "Eight hundred coins!"
Zhou Guo's eyes lit up. It's such a big difference!
The shopkeeper almost cried, "Eight hundred coins is not enough, it's too little, add a little more, I can't sell it at a loss."
After some negotiation, the two finally sold the new table and chairs for 880 Wen.
When the shopkeeper collected the money, he kept muttering that he was losing money.
Zhou Guo looked at the joy in his eyes and eyebrows, and felt that he had paid too much. It seemed that he had overstated the price.
The two of them left their things here and continued on.
This street is mostly lined with shops, and there are not as many people on the street as on that street. Zhou Guo kept walking forward, but he didn't find what he wanted to buy, so the two turned around and walked back.
When they arrived at a restaurant, Zhou Guo couldn't walk anymore. Why didn't he smell such a delicious smell when he came here, but he could smell it now?
"Come in and have a bowl of soup!" The old man's familiar voice came from inside.
The two were delighted and walked in. Several tables inside were full of people. "Master, why are you here? What do you want to eat?"
Looking at the table, there was a large plate of chopped mutton, a bowl of mutton soup, and a pot of wine.
Zhou Guo was drooling as he watched, and said to the shopkeeper at the door, "Give me two more plates of meat, two bowls of soup, and a stack of cakes."
"Okay! Sir, please wait!"
Zhou Mi stammered a few times. He had just eaten, how could he eat so much?
But then I thought again, if I can't finish it, I can just pack it up and take it back. Second Aunt hasn't eaten yet, and there are so many people at home.
Seeing that she ordered so much right after she came, the old man said, "Can't you finish eating before ordering? And where's your mother?"
Zhou Guo picked up a piece of mutton with a pair of chopsticks and ate it. After finishing the meal, he nodded and replied, "My mother said she wanted to stay and watch the car, and she refused to come. It's okay. I'll bring some to her after I finish eating."
He also called out to Zhou Mi, who was not moving his chopsticks, "Third brother, eat. It's delicious. It's mutton. You can't eat it normally." He fed him a piece.
Zhou Miyuan felt a little embarrassed, but after eating a piece, he found it was indeed delicious. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating. After all, they were all family.
The mutton offal soup came up, steaming with green chopped green onions floating in it.
Zhou Guo’s appetite increased after seeing this. Mutton offal soup!
I took a sip and it was fresh and had no smell of mutton. It was delicious!
The pancakes are also delicious, and they are extremely tasty when paired with the soup. No wonder this shop is doing so much business in the town, it turns out it tastes so good. As we were talking, a few more people came into the store, and since there were no seats left, everyone had to squeeze in to sit.
There were two people sitting at their table.
After all, it was not very comfortable for strangers to sit together. They drank the soup and ate the meat in a few gulps. The remaining cakes were wrapped in oil paper and Zhou Guo stuffed them into his bag. When he left, he also packed two servings of mutton and asked for two servings of mutton soup, which he poured into a bamboo tube.
After the three of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhou Guo asked, "Master, what other delicious food did you eat?"
The old man picked his teeth and said, "How much can I eat in such a short time? I came here just for the smell and wanted to have a drink. I haven't finished the meat yet and you guys came. Have you finished shopping? Do you want to buy anything else?"
Zhou Guo thought for a moment and said, "I also want to buy a few chickens. When they grow up, they can lay eggs, which are delicious."
Don't expect to eat meat. I've eaten so many pheasants and the taste is not much different.
