After being warned, Wang no longer dared to secretly look for Chen's father. She obediently followed Zheng to the kitchen to cook.

........

An ox cart was driving on the village road, and its wheels rolled over the ground, leaving two deep marks.

The driver clearly felt that his old ox was pulling with great effort, but since the other party gave him enough money, he was happy to make the trip.

When the car turned a corner, he couldn't help but look behind the car. That wild boar could be sold for a lot of money!

Alas, no matter how envious he is, he doesn't have the ability to do it, so he should just drive the carriage honestly.

Seeing that the ox cart was about to reach the town, Chen Yan gave the driver some extra silver and asked him to take them to the door of Heshun Restaurant.

"Okay! I'll make sure to deliver it to you!"

After receiving the money, the driver drove the cart with great enthusiasm.

As soon as he got off the car, the guy who was soliciting customers at the store door was so excited to see Chen Yan that he came forward excitedly.

"Mr. Chen is here. Our shopkeeper has been looking forward to seeing you every day. He even specifically told us to inform him immediately if you come!"

After saying hello, the guy walked to the ox cart and saw the huge wild boar on it.

I immediately realized that this must be the prey caught by Mr. Chen. I was surprised but also admired him. Not everyone can hunt such a big wild boar.

Ever since their restaurant used new seasonings, new and old customers have been coming in an endless stream. The shopkeeper wakes up with a smile every day, and they have even received a salary increase.

The shopkeeper said last time that from now on, all the prey that Mr. Chen hunts in the mountains will be bought by their restaurant, and at the best price!

Now seeing the wild boar in the car, the guy had nothing unclear to say, so he quickly and loudly called out to other guys in the store to help carry the wild boar to the backyard.

Before Chen Yan could explain his purpose, he saw the waiter calling for help. He thanked him and asked, "Excuse me, young man, is Shopkeeper Zhang here?"

"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper is in the kitchen. Mr. Chen, you are here to sell game today, right? I will ask someone to carry it in for you so that our shopkeeper can take a good look. Such a big wild boar is rare."

The guy's face was almost blooming with smiles.

"It's almost the end of the year, and many wealthy families in this town want to find some rare food. Game is perfect for this purpose, and you gave me so much of it, which really solved my urgent need."

Shopkeeper Zhang was very satisfied when he saw the extremely strong wild boar in front of him.

As soon as the guys put it down, he saw the wild boar's legs twitched twice, and when he got closer he could even hear it breathing heavily!

"Is this wild boar alive?" he turned around and asked in surprise.

Chen Yan nodded: "He is alive. He was injured too badly and passed out on the road. But even if he is not dead now, I estimate that he will die soon."

He did not hide it on purpose. Honesty is what matters in business. It took so long from the time the wild boar was carried down the mountain to the town. It is unlikely that the wild boar will live long.

"Mr. Chen is an honest man, I like that, hahaha."

Shopkeeper Zhang held his beard and laughed cheerfully: "It's okay, as long as it's alive, the meat is fresh. I'll ask the chef to kill it right away."

The guys took a large scale, and three or five of them lifted the boar together. After a long time, they finally weighed the wild boar.

The guy who had just brought Chen Yan in wiped the sweat off his head with his sleeve, ran over and said to the two men, "Weighed it, it's really big, exactly 220 pounds."

Chen Yan didn't have much reaction, as he had expected it in his mind. But Chen Ping was different. He couldn't help being happy when he thought that 220 kilograms of pork could be exchanged for a lot of silver.

"Mr. Chen, pork out there is about 50 wen per pound. Wild boar meat is rarer than pork, so we usually charge wen per pound."

"But your wild boar is alive, so the price will naturally be higher. And Mr. Chen, I am absolutely confident that you have killed it without using any drugs! I will charge you 55 coins per pound, what do you think?"

Shopkeeper Zhang was equally happy. Once the wild boar was captured, he would no longer have to worry about the New Year's dinner for his restaurant!

This was the price when selling game in the past, Chen Yan knew it, but one had to meet a conscientious customer to sell the wild boar for 50 wen per pound.

Shopkeeper Zhang asked for 55 wen at the first price, which was actually higher than the market price.

However, thinking that the price of the restaurant would only be higher and he would only make money and not lose money, Chen Yan did not hesitate and agreed readily.

He knew very well that Manager Zhang still wanted to have a good relationship with him, and he would definitely continue his seasoning business with Manager Zhang.

"Thank you very much, Manager Zhang."

"55 wen per catty, and the wild boar weighs 220 catties, so the total is 100 liang plus wen. Master Chen, can you do the math and see if it's correct?"

"I trust the shopkeeper's calculations. No need to calculate again."

Chen Yan took the silver without counting it and put it directly into his purse in front of Shopkeeper Zhang.

Shopkeeper Zhang was waiting for him to calculate it again, and he felt very relieved seeing his performance.

Old Zhang has been the shopkeeper for so many years and has never made a mistake in his calculations. Every time there is a transaction, the other party will recalculate the money in order not to lose money, but he doesn't care.

But what Chen Yan did to him this time was so perfect!

"No way, we are old friends. Your seasonings have helped me a lot."

"Third brother, what seasoning is that?" Chen Ping was confused as he listened nearby.

Chen Yan didn't want to explain too much, and only replied: "Yunzhu made some seasonings in the house, and the owner thought it was good when he brought it to the restaurant last time."

"Yes, your wife's cooking skills are impeccable!" Shopkeeper Zhang was very supportive and he really thought it was good.

When Chen Ping heard that it was his third brother's wife who cooked, he didn't find it strange anymore. His third brother's wife's cooking was better than anyone else's in the family. It turned out that she knew how to make seasonings. No wonder.

He knew that this was a business between his third brother and the restaurant owner, so he didn't ask too much. He asked once and didn't say anything else.

Shopkeeper Zhang was a sensible man. He knew that there were others around, so he didn't mention it. However, he was still thinking about the seasoning and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Chen, when do you think you can sell me some more of this seasoning?"

Chen Yan knew that the restaurant really couldn't do without his wife's seasonings, so he smiled and replied, "I think there must be a lot of seasoning left from the last time I gave you. Let's wait for a while. After all, it takes a lot of effort to make this."

Shopkeeper Zhang felt relieved after hearing this. He was mainly afraid that other restaurants would get the news and order the Chen family's seasonings in advance.

He kept the news a secret. The waiters in the store were all old employees who had followed him for more than ten years. Some of the young waiters were orphans he had rescued since childhood and brought to the restaurant to give them jobs when they grew up.

They are all grateful people and will not betray him.
