Zhao Dawei was extremely shocked. Take the yellow macaque for example. He had seen it once in Hongzhou a few years ago. He didn't expect that there was a yellow macaque hiding in this small countryside, and it was hunted by this young man.

The look in his eyes kept changing as he looked at Gu Yan. Not only the yellow leopard, but also the pheasants, rabbits, and the fish in the wooden barrel that looked like it weighed thirty or forty kilograms.

Whether it is strength or luck, it shows that this young man is not simple.

Once again, he felt that the young man in front of him had to be befriended and not offended, and he thought in his heart that he had to pay a higher price.

Last time I gave 600 coins for each rabbit. Today's rabbit looks fatter than the two from the day before yesterday. How about 700 coins for each?

Anyway, the master of the mansion likes to eat these wild game, and they are not common, so it doesn’t matter if the price is higher.

He quoted the price, and was a little hesitant when talking about Huang Mao. Huang Mao was rarely seen on the market. A few years ago, the price in Hongzhou was already 140 coins per catty. The current price would probably only go up, but not down. He thought that the old man would like it, so...

"Brother Gu, look, these hares and pheasants today are quite plump. The hares are 700 coins each, and the pheasants are 400 coins each."

"As for this yellow mare, let's calculate it at 200 coins per catty. I estimate this one must weigh to catties. What do you think, Brother Gu?"

Gu Yan keenly noticed that Manager Zhao's attitude towards him had become much more polite, as he knew from his mention that the prices of hares and pheasants had increased a lot.

Although he didn't know where this politeness came from, he would be a fool not to accept the other party's goodwill.

Anyway, isn't my purpose to sell these goods to the Zhao family?

He also remembered what he had heard from the servant last time, that Mr. Zhao loved game and would be returning home to visit his relatives in the near future.

He felt that he had touched the truth.

Thinking of this, he felt at ease accepting the offer.

"Let's do as the manager says." Gu Yan had no objection.

The next thing to do is to proceed step by step.

Manager Zhao called the servant to carry these mountain products to the back kitchen to weigh them. All the fish were also taken in. Wow, they weighed more than 40 kilograms, and the yellow mackerel weighed 70 kilograms.

Gu Yan nodded, it was almost the same as he expected.

After settling the price of the mountain products, he easily went out through the back door. Thanks to these wild game, his income from yellow yam alone was 14 strings of cash.

There was actually a yellow croaker weighing about one kilogram in the bucket of fish!

A fish that slipped through the net.

Manager Zhao was also a connoisseur of value, and he paid three strings of cash just for this yellow croaker.

Although he knew that yellow bone fish was very rare, he never thought it was so valuable!

Today, the Zhao Mansion alone earned 30 strings of cash!

In order to make it easier to carry, Manager Zhao directly asked the accountant for 30 taels of silver.

Gu Yan naturally had no objection.

In the Great Qi Dynasty, 1 tael of silver was equal to 1 string of copper coins, and 1000 string of copper coins was coins.

However, due to the problem of silver reserves, people use copper coins more often in daily life, and silver notes are used for larger transactions. The last time when I sold wild ginseng, the young master of Ren'aitang gave me a silver note of 3000 taels.

Gu Yan just walked out of the back door carrying the baskets and bags that he had changed last time, and he saw his sister dozing off on the ox cart. His eyes softened involuntarily. All this was thanks to his sister, and she should get the lion's share.

"Qingqing," he gently pushed his sister awake. He had to call her. After being busy all morning, Qingqing must be hungry. Manager Zhao had just given her 10 big hot meat buns. He remembered that Qingqing liked meat buns very much.

"Brother." Gu Qingzhi rubbed her sleepy eyes, covered her mouth and yawned. She was so sleepy that she accidentally fell asleep.

Gu Yan stuffed the meat bun into her hand and raised his hand to greet Uncle Gu Chen, "Uncle, let's go to the Zheng's fruit shop we visited last time."

The hot big buns smelled really good. Gu Qingzhi took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands, then took out another clean handkerchief, took out a bun and stuffed it into Gu Yan's mouth, smiling and saying, "Brother, eat it."

Gu Yan looked at his sister who was eating like a little hamster, smiled helplessly and dotingly, and had to hold the handkerchief and start eating.

When Gu Qingzhi saw him eating, she picked up a bun with satisfaction and started to eat it. After taking a bite, her eyes lit up, "Wow, brother, it's a meat bun."

She stuffed her mouth with buns and kept saying they were delicious.

Gu Yan patted her shoulder gently and said, "Eat slowly, there's more."

Gu Qingzhi nodded quickly, eating the buns without forgetting Gu Chen who was driving the car, "Uncle, it's not convenient for you now, I will give you another one after unloading the goods."

Gu Chen shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, "No, no, I brought my own dry food."

Gu Qingzhi didn't say anything else, but when the ox cart stopped outside the fruit shop to unload the goods, she stuffed a meat bun into Gu Chen's hand without giving him a chance to refuse.

You can't just eat it by yourself. After all, their family is quite closely related to Uncle Gu Chen's family. He is the youngest son of the second uncle of the Gu family. Gu Qingzhi's uncle and aunt have seven brothers, and her uncle is the sixth.

Uncle Gu Chen is a nice person, and he is usually quite close to my father.

Manager Zheng looked at the cargo unloaded today with satisfaction.

I listened to the waiter weighing and counting: 350 kilograms of wild grapes, 250 kilograms of persimmons, 100 kilograms of pecans, and 100 kilograms of hairy chestnuts.

Shopkeeper Zheng looked through today's mountain products. Yes, today's fruits were also very fresh, and the quality was no worse than those delivered the day before yesterday.

The quality is guaranteed, so he feels at ease, and Shopkeeper Zheng can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The next step is to arrange to transport the fruits to Jiangzhou as soon as possible, as the market there is larger.

They have arranged a special horse-drawn carriage to transport the fruit. If we send it now and rush it, it will probably arrive by tomorrow night.

He called the steward to make the arrangements and then let the steward get to work.

Manager Zheng took Gu Yan and his sister to the inner room, where they were served snacks and tea. After some polite exchanges, the accountant brought the copper coins for today's mountain product settlement, a total of 2 strings and 800 coins.

Shopkeeper Zheng placed the copper coins in front of Gu Yan and said, "Young Master Gu, all the copper coins for today's mountain goods settlement are here. Please count them."

Gu Yan nodded slightly, not feeling embarrassed at all, and calmly picked up the copper coins in front of him and began to count them.

He first picked up the two large strings of copper coins, each containing 1000 coins. After counting them, he picked up the string containing 800 coins.

After a moment, he nodded slightly to Shopkeeper Zheng, "Shopkeeper Zheng, the amount matches."

Shopkeeper Zheng smiled and said, "That's good."

Gu Yan glanced at Gu Qingzhi from the side, and Gu Qingzhi immediately said in a sharp tone, "Brother, since the goods have been delivered, let's go buy something."

She said coquettishly, "There are still many things to buy."

Gu Yan stood up, took Gu Qingzhi's hand, and said goodbye to Shopkeeper Zheng, "Then Shopkeeper Zheng, we will take our leave first."

Shopkeeper Zheng escorted them to the door and asked someone to bring out the empty baskets and bags that had been replaced last time.
