Fang Shu thought it was because of the distance, but she misheard, but the peddler really started to weigh a large pot, and it turned out to be ten catties, not four catties.
I bought so much that I couldn't finish it. Fortunately, the clams are alive and can be kept for a long time without smelling.
Fang Shu continued to look, ten catties of clams obviously couldn't satisfy the emperor, so she picked another ten catties of scallops.
Fortunately, she finally picked something she likes to eat. Fang Shu found that the emperor picked all the ones with shells, and didn't even look at those without shells. For example, squid, is it too ugly? Can't keep your mouth shut
The emperor doesn't like to eat seafood, he doesn't know much about seafood, so he chooses food based on intuition, buy if it looks good, and don't buy if it doesn't look good.
Wouldn't the oyster look too ugly
So what is his criterion for judging whether it is good or not
Fang Shu suddenly realized that she still didn't know him well enough. After all, she could only observe him from the side of the note. In fact, this was the first time the two had met for such a long time.
It's usually just a one-sided relationship. I only know that this guy is very cold in reality, but he looks different on the note.
I can't tell exactly what it feels like, it's just... It's a little easier to get along with than in reality, probably because the two of them have a bond on the note, but they don't in reality.
It's like the most familiar stranger, she knows him, but he doesn't know her.
Although she doesn't know whether she is a human or a ghost, after getting along for so long, Fang Shu is sure that she is not the slightest bit of revealing. The emperor should have known that she is not his second personality. she.
Maybe it's because she's not threatening? Or maybe he kept his face and waited for her to let her guard down, and then caught her to death in one fell swoop
In short, Fang Shu is still safe and sound, and then she can make some small requests. I thought he would be impatient, but judging by his appearance, he is not at all, and he is very serious about his choices.
Maybe she is a pen pal in his heart, her status is not that bad, she belongs to a slightly deeper relationship than ordinary netizens, it's okay to borrow three or five yuan, but it will bother her if it exceeds.
For the emperor, buying seafood is a matter of three to five yuan, no trouble, so you don't hate her yet
If only he could be more savvy about buying seafood, why not pick squid and lobster
The peddler recommended it to him, but he didn't consider it.
Unable to bear it anymore, Fang Shu stood up, "That..."
As soon as she made a sound, several eyes immediately focused on her. Fang Shu felt it, and was inexplicably nervous.
After all, whether it is the emperor, Li Zhai, or others, they all have official positions and are usually out of reach for her. Being stared at by these adults is not ordinary.
"You haven't bought vegetables before, right? You can't buy them like this." Fang Shu managed to calm down and said, "This is dead, the sand in it can't be spit out, and it's all sand when you bite it down. It's not delicious."
She was referring to oysters, but deliberately didn't mention the name, because the peddlers didn't know it, and the name she knew was different from this era, so she couldn't say it out.
Yin Fei looked at her with a thoughtful expression.
Fang Shu swallowed nervously, and while waiting, cursed herself for being stupid, why did she stand up? Just because the emperor doesn't buy squid and big lobster
In order to eat, the chances of exposing yourself are higher, and it is too worthless.
Fang Shu comforted herself because she couldn't bear to see her netizens being slaughtered for buying vegetables, so she stood up.
After all, this netizen bought seafood because of her, so he couldn't just let him be slaughtered.
Speaking of it, I finally understand why the emperor was slaughtered. Looking around, most of the people who buy vegetables are old women, and there are few young women. He is a man with a bunch of tough guys, and he knows that he is noble and has never bought vegetables. .
At first the peddler was a little worried, and the price he quoted was normal, but later it got higher and higher, and became more and more outrageous, because he found that he didn't understand prices at all.
The emperor may feel it, but Fang Shu doesn't care about the money, because it's for her to spend so much money, and he doesn't want him to spend too much money on her, and he can't buy good things.
"You understand?" People here are not used to eating seafood, and few people understand it.
Fang Shu nodded, "When I was young, there was a flood at home, and I wandered around as a refugee. I also went to the beach and ate the food there."
This is not lying, the original owner's hometown was really flooded when she was a child, her parents took her all the way north, trying to find a place to live.
But no one is willing to accept refugees everywhere, so I ran to many cities, and I did pass by the sea, but I didn't stop, so the original owner didn't eat a few kinds of seafood.
Of course, what Fang Shu needs is her experience, it doesn't matter whether she has eaten seafood or not.
Yin Fei thought for a moment, pointed to the ugliest shell and said, "I don't want this one."
Fang Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that you've heard it, let's guide him by the way.
"Although it's been a long time, I remember that this is delicious and the meat is very tender." Fang Shu immediately recommended squid, "You can buy more of this kind of live fish, but ten catties is too exaggerated, at most five catties, because You don’t know how to raise them, dead seafood is very fishy.”
Although alive is also fishy, but dead is even more fishy.
Yin Fei nodded, "Then five catties."
Fang Shu raised her hand to signal him not to worry, but instead asked the peddler, "How much is this per catty?"
The peddler knew that he had met a knowledgeable person, so he didn't dare to act recklessly this time, and said honestly, "It's half the price for a catty."
A penny is one tael of silver, and a half penny is five hundred Wen. Although it is still expensive, his goods are indeed fresh and live. It took a lot of time and effort to ship them, so the price is understandable.
Fang Shu nodded, "This is fine."
She went to look at other things, and saw the big lobster that the peddler put on the main table. The lobster was a sea lobster, colorful, and couldn't fit in a basin. Squeeze in a basin.
"This is also delicious. The meat is very tender. It's delicious when you chop it and stir fry it. It's also delicious when you bake it. It's delicious anyway, because its meat is delicate." Fang Shu made up nonsense, "We didn't have any seasoning at that time. , just put some vinegar and soy sauce for dipping and it’s delicious.”
Yin Fei nodded, "Then get one."
He made up his mind, Fang Shu went to ask the price, "How much is a catty?"
The peddler flattered him, "Girl has a good eye, there is only one shrimp of this kind, and it costs one or two silver a catty."
This big lobster looks at least seven or eight catties, seven or eight taels, and most people can't afford it, but the emperor is so generous, he wants it without asking the price.
Fortunately, she is there to check, otherwise the price will definitely go up.
"Buy two more sea crabs. This kind of crab has more meat than the hairy crabs that you usually eat. It can be steamed or fried." The words were whispered into the emperor's ear on tiptoe, because it was obvious that the hawker would be a little bit different according to her introduction. price increase.
If she praises, the price will be higher, the better the praise, the higher the price, so she secretly praised in the emperor's ear.
Just after she finished speaking, she noticed that something was wrong, and when she tilted her head, she found that several people around the emperor were all holding their swords, and instantly understood that she had overstepped.
If it weren't for the public, she would have stabbed her with a sword, and she was too close to the emperor, so close that his subordinates felt her threat.
If she tried to attack the emperor at this distance, she might succeed.
Fang Shu quickly put her foot down, and moved a little away from the emperor.
I just thought about not being fooled, and didn't pay attention to so many details.
"Yeah." The emperor didn't seem to notice her strangeness, and said indifferently like a husband accompanying his wife to buy vegetables, "You figure it out."
I really entrusted everything to her, maybe it was an area I was not familiar with, so I was groping, and I really stood aside in the future, quietly watching her buy it.
Fang Shu bought two sea crabs and some dry goods. She wanted to make Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, which was delicious.
Buddha Tiaoqiang needs a lot of things, Lin Lin always searched the whole stall, and only gave up when he was almost there, and then bargained with the boss.
"Is it cheaper to buy so many?" Fang Shu asked seriously.
The peddler shook his head, "Small business, no haggling."
"I don't buy that one, let's look at other houses." He said and motioned for the emperor to follow.
The emperor actually cooperated and walked out.
The peddler hurriedly called them back, "I can erase a small change for you."
Fang Shu nodded, and it would be fine to erase the odds.
The vendors weighed them one by one, and Fang Shu asked him to quote the price, the weight in kilograms and how much a kilogram was.
She doesn't know how to use this old-fashioned saying, but she still pretends to be the same and stares at it.
The peddler was very dishonest. He pointed to the clam and wanted to sell it at the old price, "This is five taels of silver per catty."
"Huh?" Fang Shu raised her eyebrows.
The peddler felt guilty for a moment, but the price had already been quoted, so he had no choice but to hold on, but the total price for five catties was said to be eleven taels of silver.
If five taels is a catty, it is impossible for five catties to be only eleven taels. Seeing that he is still sensible, Fang Shu didn't expose him to the fact that the price is still high.
No matter what, let him make some money, after all, it is not easy to do business.
"Add all of them together to seventy-seven taels, and I will erase the change for you, and you will be counted as seventy-five taels." The peddler said.
"Seventy taels." Fang Shu looked at him with a smile, "Come again next time."
The peddler looked troubled.
Fang Shu walked over and pulled him into the corner to talk, "Do you know who you are cheating on? Look at the people behind him, you almost died, give you a chance to live, you really don't want it?"
The peddler really looked at the emperor and his party. To be honest, those people brought by the emperor all wore swords and showed evil looks on their faces.
The peddler trembled, even though he knew it was to scare him, but he was afraid that if it was true, he had no choice but to compromise and only asked for seventy taels.
In fact, seventy taels is still expensive, but it's still the same sentence, things are fresh, and other aspects can be a little more tolerant.
Those who finished shopping were basically carrying big bags and small bags, and those who carried them behind them were almost empty-handed, even Li Zhai carried one.
"I want to buy it too." He smelled the smell and gave up, "That's right."
Seemingly remembering something, he asked, "What did you just tell the peddler?"
Fang Shu glanced at him, "I said someone's throwing knife is sharp and fast."
Li Zhai touched his nose with a embarrassed expression.
Fang Shu ignored him, looked at the sky, it was almost five o'clock, and there were more and more people on the street, basically there would be no hooligans or being robbed.
She can leave now.
"I'm leaving." Fang Shu backed away as she said, and slowly squeezed into the crowd, "Let's meet again by fate."
The figure has been overwhelmed by the flow of people, and soon disappeared.
Yin Fei narrowed her eyes, "Check her identity."
"I knew you would say that." Li Zhai was prepared, and took out the handkerchief he touched early in the morning from his arms, and looked at it carefully in the dim light.
"It has long been discovered that this veil is unusual. It is thin and silky. It should come from Tiansifang. Tiansifang is an imperial merchant and only supplies to the royal relatives."
Touching the embroidery place, "The thread is cloud silk thread, and cloud silk thread is only available in the palace."
Yin Fei raised her eyebrows, "How did you tell?"
Li Zhai pulled the hem of his clothes, and compared the handkerchiefs again, "Look carefully, although it is a little worse than yours, but it is unquestionably cloud silk thread, cloud silk thread has four strands, which is stronger than ordinary thread."
Because the palace is a place with many taboos, if the thread is accidentally opened or broken, it is unlucky, so only the thread in the palace has four strands, and generally it is three strands.
"So she came from the palace?" Yin Fei frowned.
"Not running away."
"There are not many people who can spend so much money to auction "The World's Strategy". I remember that you don't have many concubines, and the richest one is probably only the empress." He sniffed the handkerchief closely, "The fragrance of flowers, Very floral scent."
I can't figure it out, "Did I guess wrong, is the imperial garden taking care of the flowers and plants? Or who has bad taste?"
I presumably use several kinds of petals to bathe at the same time. If the concubine is the queen, it is impossible to be so poor that I can't get all the petals. Is it because the imperial garden sees all the flowers and plants
Because you often touch flowers and plants, your body is stained with fragrance
But what is the relationship between the flowers and plants in the imperial garden and the queen? Will the queen trust so much money to an imperial gardener to take care of the flowers and plants
It seems that some court lady who has no taste took a bath with several petals at the same time.
"The queen likes flowers." Yin Fei reminded him.
He happened to look at the expenses of the harem, and found that the queen spent a lot of money on flowers, and every month.
Li Zhai had an epiphany, "That's basically certain. The person who took the picture was a court lady who had no taste and secretly picked the queen's flowers and then bathed with several petals at the same time."
He has a poor memory, so he has to rely on some characteristics to remember people every time.
For example, the first time I remember the prime minister, he looks like a dog, I remember the emperor, who is very good-looking, I remember the maid just now, who has very bad taste, and I remember the big manager next to the emperor, the little fat man.
Wait, something doesn't seem right.
"Is there someone missing?" Where did the little fat man go
Yin Fei also found out that Chang Qing was not there.
It seemed to drop him again.
