PS: Sorry, I had something to do last night. I'll only update one chapter later. I'll make it up today.
Trading at the Ghost Market Again, Good Harvest!、Flowers, Evaluation
The next day, Xu Lingjun woke up before dawn.
The entire ranch was pitch-black, completely immersed in the night, waiting for the dawn to wake up.
He went to the stable, pulled the horse out, and put it on, then rushed towards the county town.
The sound of the horse carriage startled the people who were light sleepers, but everyone knew that someone was going out, so they didn't pay much attention.
This was how traveling was in this era.
However, it was still too early. The sky hadn't brightened yet.
"I have to say that the ranch is much more convenient than other places. At least you don't have to buy a bicycle.”
Xu Lingjun wrapped his clothes tightly to block the cold wind from blowing into his clothes.
In fact, with his physique, he was not that afraid of the cold, but this dry and cold aura made him feel a little comfortable.
After about an hour of traveling, they finally arrived at the county town.
At this moment, a few families in the county had already lit up oil lamps and started to get busy.
Occasionally, he would see one or two pedestrians on the road.
This time, Xu Lingjun did not plan to leave the carriage at the factory. After all, it was too early for them to get up.
Even if someone was on duty, it was not good to disturb them.
Thus, when they reached the county town, Xu Lingjun had stored the carriage into the peach garden space, only carrying a large bamboo basket in his hand.
There were two rabbits with their legs tied and a pheasant in the basket.
This was what he was going to trade in the ghost market.
He did not plan to use money to buy it again. Firstly, he was afraid of causing trouble. Secondly, he did not have much money now.
After wandering to the ghost market again, he saw the burly man who was on sentry duty last time.
When the other party saw him approaching, he glanced at him and let him in without saying anything.
Xu Lingjun didn't say anything and walked in naturally.
At this moment, the courtyard was even livelier than the last time he came.
After all, most of the people who came to trade came early to avoid risks.
Last time, he was already considered late.
However, it was similar to the last time. They were basically buying and selling food.
There were all kinds of coarse grains, fine grains, and some agricultural products. The most popular ones were naturally eggs.
As for the adult chickens, there were only roosters and no old hens. After all, the old hens had to be kept to lay eggs. Who would be willing to sell them?
This time, Xu Lingjun first found a stall selling mutton.
"Big brother, do you collect wild animals?" Xu Lingjun whispered.
It couldn't be helped. The people here all talked softly.
When the stall owner heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said with interest,"Oh, you have game? Take it out and take a look."
Xu Lingjun didn't waste any time and removed the cloth covering the basket, revealing the goods inside.
"Hmm, not bad. Two fat rabbits and a fat pheasant.”
It had to be said that the wild rabbit had gained a few pounds of meat when it lived in the peach garden compared to when it was caught in the wild.
It was the first time the stall owner had seen a wild rabbit weighing seven to eight catties, so he had suspected that it was domesticated.
However, it didn't matter if it was domesticated or wild, as long as it could produce meat.
The stall owner made a bid." How about this? I see that your rabbit is quite fat. I'll give you one yuan per catty. The pheasant is two yuan per catty."”
Xu Lingjun thought for a moment. The price was fair.
In this day and age, a piece of fat meat was about a pound, and a piece of lean meat was about 85 cents. However, they all needed tickets.
It was already very good that the wild rabbit could be given one yuan per catty.
The most important thing was that the rabbit skin could be peeled off and sold, so the price was so high.
As for the pheasants, they were priced at two yuan each.
After all, a white striped chicken was only one yuan.
Chicken feathers could also be sold for money.
"Alright, weigh it!" Xu Lingjun said.
"There's no need to weigh it. I know the weight just by lifting it with my hand.”The stall owner said confidently.
Xu Lingjun believed that there was such a skill in this era.
However, the stall owner still picked up the rabbit and took out the scale."This rabbit should be about 2.5 kilograms.”
As he spoke, he used the steelyard to weigh it again. Indeed, it was seven catties and two taels.
"That's right, isn't it?" He grinned.
Xu Lingjun nodded in admiration.
"This is only eight and a half catties. Brother, your rabbit is really fat. This is the first time I've seen it in so many years.”The stall owner said as he weighed the food.
Xu Lingjun naturally wouldn't explain.
"Seventeen dollars and seventy cents. Count it." The stall owner took out a stack of wool votes from his apron and handed it to him.
Xu Lingjun nodded at the stall owner.
Then, he said,"Sell me some mutton!"”
"No problem. The best part is 1.5 RMB per catty, but you need tickets. Food tickets and meat tickets are fine.”The stall owner gave him a meaningful look.
Xu Lingjun's face darkened. The ghost market still needed tickets?
Actually, the stall owner couldn't be blamed for this. His mutton was basically for his old customers, so he asked for tickets.
Xu Lingjun definitely didn't have meat tickets, but he did have food tickets. He didn't want to exchange them for food tickets like this.
The most important thing was that the system sign-in would give him national food tickets. He did not want to exchange for anything more valuable.
"How about this? I'll use candy tickets to exchange for it.”Xu Lingjun said.
"Oh, candy tickets? Sure, one catty for one catty." The stall owner's eyebrows twitched, and he was extremely happy.
"Alright, change it to a catty and give me some ribs.”Xu Lingjun said.
"Alright, lamb ribs are 40 cents per catty. How about I weigh five catties for you?”The stall owner laughed.
The main thing was that there was still a lot of meat on the lamb chop.
"You're too stingy. Give it all to me!" Xu Lingjun planned to buy more.
"That won't do. I'll give you at most ten catties.”
"Alright then!"
Then, Xu Lingjun used a pound of candy and five yuan to exchange for a pound of mutton and ten pounds of lamb chops.
After the deal was made, Xu Lingjun asked softly,"Boss, is there anything here that can be exchanged for other special items, such as gold or jade?”
