Chapter 165: red coral necklace

Pomelo itself has more skin and less flesh, and it is difficult to peel, and it also has a bitter taste, so people in this era don't like to eat it.

Even the original owner didn’t even give a glance when he saw pomelo hanging on the tree on the mountain beside the Song family.

But Song Xi knew that it was because people in this era didn't know that there are so many ways to eat grapefruit. Even if they knew, they wouldn't be willing to do that, because it would require a lot of ingredients and it wouldn't be worth it.

"Master, how do you sell this grapefruit?" Song Xi squatted down, reached out and took a grapefruit from the bamboo basket, brought it to his nose and smelled it, it was indeed very fragrant.

I just don’t know if there is meat in it, so buying this is really risky.

"One dime a catty." The old man stretched out his hand and gestured one by one, and almost lost all his teeth.

Seeing the old man like this, Song Xi felt very sad, but what can be done, everyone is like this in this age, unlike modern times, where there is meat and wine every day, and you can change a few sets of new clothes every day.

"Okay, then I'll have it all, and we don't need to weigh it anymore, let's just calculate it at a catty and a half!"

Song Xi saw that the old man didn't weigh in front of him, so it must be troublesome to weigh, and he had to ask someone else to borrow it.

So she directly used this method, and besides, the old man would not lose at all.

"Okay." The old man agreed without even thinking about it. He also knew that the grapefruit had thick skin and little flesh, so it was hard to sell, so he wouldn't say anything if someone wanted it.

Song Xi counted, and there were twenty-five grapefruits in total.

Then the total weight should be thirty-seven and a half catties, three yuan and seventy-five cents, and Song Xi directly gave three yuan and eight.

She put the grapefruits in the back basket, and sneaked to the supermarket as she walked, and soon the back basket became empty.

Song Xi didn't meet the turtledove this time, but he did meet a pheasant, and took a pheasant for two yuan.

Because it is a female, Song Xi left it because she wanted it to lay eggs. If she wanted to reproduce, it would be impossible.

Unless you can meet male pheasants in the future, this will allow them to breed.

Seeing someone selling the handmade cloth shoes he made, Song Xi bought five pairs for Zhou Yi.

Zhou Yi never wears the good clothes and shoes bought in supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores when he goes out. He only wears his own old ones, which is very low-key.

The handmade cloth shoes are very common, so Zhou Yi must be willing to wear them out.

"Ma'am, what is this?" Seeing an aunt selling horseshoe fruit, Song Xi asked curiously.

Because the names of horseshoe fruits are different in different places, she wanted to ask first.

"This is water chestnut. It can be peeled and eaten directly. It tastes sweet and can also be fried." The aunt explained with a smile on her face. Finally, someone came to ask her what she was selling. Could she be unhappy?

"Then what is that little bean-like thing next to it?" Song Xi's supermarket has horseshoe nuts, so she can recognize it, but she really doesn't know the little one next to it, even Little Tudou. small.

"It's a wild water chestnut. It tastes the same, but it's a bit troublesome to peel because it's too small." The aunt was a little embarrassed, but in order to sell more money, she took out all the wild ones, otherwise she would keep them at home. My own children are satisfied.

"How much is the big and small ones per catty?" Some things need to have a source, so Song Xi decided to buy these water chestnuts, so that in the future, there will be a reasonable source for the ones in the supermarket.

"The big ones are ten cents a catty, and the small ones are five cents a catty." The aunt said.

"Okay, then please weigh me, ma'am!"

Finally, I weighed it. Twenty-seven catties of water chestnuts cost two yuan and seventy cents, and fifteen catties of wild water chestnuts cost seventy-five cents.

Ordinary people are really reluctant to buy this thing, because there is nothing to eat, and it is troublesome to eat, but Song Xi has her uses.

After that, Song Xi bought 300 catties of potatoes, 700 catties of sweet potatoes, 1,200 catties of corn, and other scattered items, including 15 catties of soybeans, 17 catties of broad beans, two catties of peanuts, and half a catty of mung beans.

She asked the stall owner to help her pick out those overweight items to the forest, and then received them in the supermarket.

There are so many edible animals on the roof of the supermarket, so it is necessary to buy coarse grains.

Didn't see any other good things today, Song Xi didn't have much interest in continuing to hang out.

Carrying the bones, pig's head and cloth shoes she bought earlier, she went to Aunt Li and the others, but as she was walking, she saw a **** man with a very low brim, playing with a string of red beads, Song Xi As a Hanfu designer, I naturally know something about this kind of thing.

The red beads in the man's hand are a string of red coral necklaces. The red coral necklaces on the market are usually divided into ordinary, mid-range, mid-to-high end, and high-end.

The price of ordinary red coral necklaces is about 2,000 to 8,000 yuan, the price of mid-range red coral necklaces is about 8,000 to 20,000 yuan, the price of mid-to-high-end ones is about 20,000 to 80,000 yuan, and the price of high-end ones is about 80,000 to 20,000 yuan. About one hundred thousand yuan.

And the price of the collection level is even higher.

So no matter what grade the red coral necklace in the man's hand is, as long as she buys it, she will definitely not lose money. Thinking of this, Song Xi quickly walked away from the man.

She wants this red coral necklace, and she won't go to buy it as herself, because during special times, big-character posters and other incidents are everywhere. What if this man reports her in order to get the item back?

Isn’t that worth the candle?

So Song Xi found a place, went into the supermarket and put on makeup to look like another man. He changed all his clothes, and even replaced the basket with a bamboo basket.

Song Xi came to the man's booth, changed his voice, and asked curiously, "Comrade, what are you here to sell? Why is there nothing in your booth?"

"Comrade, I have something good here, do you want it?" Seeing that someone finally asked him, the man approached Song Xi and asked in a low voice.

Song Xi looked at the **** man, but she didn't look particularly expectant, "What's the good thing you're talking about? I have to see it before I know if I want it or not."

The man looked around after hearing Song Xi's words, and then he carefully took out a string of red beads from his pocket to show Song Xi.

Song Xi saw the red beads that the man took out, and his heart trembled. He didn't see clearly from the distance before, but now he sees clearly. This is a string of high-end red coral necklaces. If it is preserved to modern times, the price should be around 80,000. to between two hundred thousand.

Although the money is nothing in modern times, this thing looks good!

Song Xichao said to the man, "How much do you plan to sell this string of beads?"

"Fifty yuan." The man gestured with his fingers.

"Okay, fifty yuan is fifty yuan!" After finishing speaking, Song Xi quickly took out ten yuan from his pocket and handed it to the man in front of him, "If you encounter such a good thing again in the future, remember Come here, it must be genuine, I won’t even take a look at fakes.”
