Chapter 185 Too much of a waste
Of course, this was just to fool Yang Song.

A few days ago, Bai Duoxi cooked a meal of crayfish for the villagers, but on such a cold day, the taste quickly disappeared when the cold wind blew.

"Eight hundred coins a pound."

When Bai Duoxi finished speaking, the smile on Yang Song's face froze, and he widened his eyes: "Eight hundred coins?!"

As if he thought he had heard wrongly, he asked again to confirm, "Is it eight hundred coins per pound of crayfish?"

Bai Duoxi nodded: "Yes!"

"No, Chef Bai, I remember that one pound of dried sweet potatoes could be exchanged for fifteen pounds of crayfish."

Now he is selling one pound of crayfish for 800 coins. Isn't that too much?!

There are not many crayfish in a pound.

Yang Song is no longer the man who had little idea about money. Eight hundred coins are enough for a farmer's family of five to eat and use for a month.

The grains and vegetables are all from the fields. We may not even have meat for one meal a month, but they can only last us a month.

Bai Duoxi glanced at him and said, "Can the buying price be the same as the selling price?"

"Qingzhou is Qingzhou, and Yancheng is Yancheng."

As he spoke, Bai Duoxi began to count on his hands: "We transported them all the way, didn't it cost us anything? Besides, you can't find crayfish even in Qingzhou now."

"Besides, do you think crayfish is easy to cook? There are more than a dozen kinds of expensive seasonings. How can it be so delicious?"

Bai Duoxi: "At this price, do you want it?"

"I want it!" Yang Song also wanted to snort and leave without saying that he would not even eat the dog, but the taste of crayfish was indeed tempting.

Sometimes, the more you want to eat something, the more its taste will replay in your mind.

Moreover, the taste will be repeated and superimposed on the taste buds, even far exceeding the taste when tasted before.

This is what Yang Song is like at the moment.

He tried to make amends for himself in his heart. He and his master had gone down the mountain yesterday and been exposed to the cold wind all night, so it was only right for him to have some crayfish to replenish his body.

At worst, I can just be more diligent next time I search the corpse and earn back what I spent on food today.

Yang Song looked distressed, but Bai Duoxi looked even more distressed than him and asked, "Okay, the minimum order is 10 kilograms. How much do you want to buy?"

"Yes, give me 20 kilograms!" Yang Song made up his mind. He had already eaten it, so he had to eat enough.

Hearing this, Bai Duoxi looked at Yang Song with surprise and nodded slowly: "Okay, then come back in an hour to get it."

"It takes an hour?" Yang Song was surprised.

Bai Duoxi: "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Do you think this thing can be made quickly?" My aunt said that sometimes you have to make people feel that their money is worth spending.

Yang Song had never cooked before, so he could only say, "Well, okay, I'll trouble Chef Bai then."

It takes an hour, and crayfish are indeed difficult to cook. Thinking about it this way, eight hundred coins per pound does not seem so unreasonable.

Bai Duoxi nodded and extended his hand to Yang Song.

Seeing Yang Song was puzzled, Bai Duoxi said, "Pay first."

"No, can't I pay when I come to pick it up later?" I haven't even seen the crayfish yet.

"No, if I make it and you don't want it, we'll have to argue. It's troublesome!"

Yang Song: "Chef Bai, I won't run away again." Who dares to blame the Baijiabao caravan?

Bai Duoxi said with a fake smile: "Haha, who knows."

Yang Song wanted to say something, but when he saw Bai Duoxi's face saying, "Didn't you run away once before?", he could only keep silent and took out the money he had just found last night.

Twenty jin is sixteen taels of silver.

After paying the money, Yang Song felt a pang of pain in his heart.

Back then, the master would give away 30 or 50 silver ingots as a reward. That's enough to eat a lot of crayfish. It's really a waste of money.

After Yang Song went back, he always looked at Lu Xiaohao with a look as if he wanted to say something but couldn't, which made Lu Xiaohao puzzled.

"Can't buy it?"

"No, sir, I have already bought it. I bought 20 kilograms." Yang Song's expression was both happy and painful.

"Then what's wrong with you?"

Yang Song said with a pained look: "Sir, I just thought about the past. If I hadn't been so extravagant before, how many crayfish would I have eaten now?"

When he thought about it now, he wanted to go back to that time and snatch the money back from those people.

Lu Xiaohao paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking about, and said slowly: "...It is a bit of a waste."

The master and servant looked at each other, feeling disappointed.

Bai Tao soon found out about this.

"Make more. Come to think of it, I haven't eaten for a few days."

Bai Duoxi responded immediately: "Then I'll pick out the big ones for you, with lots of shrimp roe."

An hour later, a basin full of crayfish with the heads removed was placed in front of Bai Tao.

She put on gloves, and on her left and right, Bai Xiaocao and Bai Qi were peeling crayfish skillfully.

While eating, Bai Tao muttered to herself, eight hundred coins per pound, wow, wow, wow, if it were her, she would definitely not be willing to eat it.

Yang Song took over two large food baskets at the door. Smelling the strong scent of crayfish in the air, he was convinced of what Bai Duoxi had said before.

With such a strong flavor, it turns out that crayfish uses a lot of seasoning.

There were loud explosions last night. The rebels besieging Yancheng thought they would receive good news, but now it was already noon and no news had come.

The rebel leader wondered, could it be that the caravan had too much stuff and was taking too long to sort?

The rebel leader did not think of failure. After all, the people he sent were not inexperienced and they carried a lot of gunpowder bombs.

"Someone is coming!"

Soon, the person who was sent came back, without a trace of joy on his face, and knelt on the ground and could not get up.

"General, it's gone, all gone."

What do you mean, all gone?
The rebel leader's heart skipped a beat, and he inexplicably had a bad premonition, and shouted, "Explain to me clearly, what do you mean by all gone!?"

"General, Captain Zhou's camp is gone."

No more campsites?
"What did you say?!"

"General, last night Captain Zhou and his men were attacked, and their camp is no longer in existence. I'm afraid Captain Zhou is in great danger..."

The person who reported the incident quickly told the story of what he had seen.

The rebel leader's eyes widened and he shouted in disbelief: "Didn't they say that the enemy was just a caravan of 300 to 400 people?!"

How many gunpowder bombs were needed to defeat 2,000 people and render them defenseless, and raze their camp to the ground?

"I'll go and take a look myself." The flag captain leading the team is his cousin. There is no such thing as a deserter. If he is fine, he will definitely come back.

He hasn't come back yet, which means he is in grave danger.

The rebel leader couldn't accept it. He stood up from his chair and said angrily, "I want to see which god is trying to make trouble for me!"

"General!"

"General, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."

The rebel leader was finally stopped. He angrily swung the whip in his hand and angrily asked, "Where are those people?"

It's number one, please give me some votes~~~
