Chapter 582: Haunted Rumors (Subscribe)
After cleaning the battlefield, the two of them and the dog returned to the cabin. It was already dark.
After working hard for most of the night, Goofy, Martin and Hound were all very hungry.
Gao Fei found a bundle of wire in the wooden house, made a grilling net by himself, and placed it on the stove.
Martin broke off a pile of corn cobs, along with large pieces of meat cut from the wild boar, and grilled them on the wire fence.
Gao Fei added two corn stalks to the stove, and soon the small stove was heated up. The pork was roasting until it was sizzling with oil, and the corn also exuded an alluring sweet aroma.
Martin's "seasoning skills" come in handy.
He added pepper and sea salt flavors to the barbecue, and at Goofy's suggestion, he added cheese and syrup flavors to the corn, which instantly filled the house with aroma!
Gao Fei cut off a large piece of fresh pork leg and gave it to the hound for breakfast. He poured two glasses of water and placed it on the dining table.
Martin moved the roasted corn and pork to a wooden dinner plate and served it to the table.
After looking at the water in the cup, I suddenly had an idea and used the "flavoring technique" twice in succession. The water cup immediately exuded the fragrance of old wine.
Gao Fei took a bite of the roasted wild boar meat and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's really good. With the 'seasoning technique', even simple meals can become flavorful."
The two enjoyed a delicious breakfast and were about to catch up on their sleep when the hound jumped up alertly and barked outside the door.
Goofy turned around and saw that two horses were dragging a caravan heading this way, and the driver was none other than Mr. Smith.
"Good morning, Mr. Smith!" Gao Fei stood at the door, took off his hat and waved, "You came just in time, take a look at the prey we harvested last night."
Mr. Smith jumped off the carriage and ran quickly to the door. At a glance, he saw five wild boar carcasses placed side by side in the corner.
"Mr. Rogge, Mr. Martin, you are really good!" Mr. Smith exclaimed.
The car curtain was lifted, and Mrs. Miller jumped out. After checking the prey, she showed a satisfied smile.
"You two little scoundrels are not just good at bragging, you are somewhat capable."
"Mrs. Miller, how about selling you these five wild boars to cover five months' rent?"
Gao Fei quietly activated his "lobbying" skill.
Unfortunately, the landlady was too stingy and the test difficulty was as high as 20. The first "lobbying" ended in failure.
"Five months? That's great!" The landlady put her hands on her waist, with a fierce look on her face, "Five weeks is almost enough!"
"Wow! You are so stingy!" Gao Fei shook his head repeatedly, "This deal is not cost-effective. We would rather keep the wild boar meat for ourselves!"
"You two plus a dog, even if you eat till you're full every day, you won't be able to eat so much pork. It will rot and stink in less than two days, and it will be wasted!" Mrs. Miller sneered.
"It doesn't matter. I happen to have learned some curing skills. I can make bacon and ham from the endless pork. I can sell it to the tavern, or I can keep it for myself and eat it slowly."
Gao Fei replied nonchalantly.
The landlady's face twitched.
Gao Fei noticed that the lobbying DC that negotiated the deal had dropped to 15 points, so he struck while the iron was hot.
"Mrs. Miller, five wild boars are worth three months' rent. If you still don't agree, forget it."
The landlady was a little hesitant, then turned back to her son-in-law to discuss it in a low voice, and then said to Gao Fei: "Wild boars are big or small, fat or thin, it's unreasonable to count them by one!"
"How to calculate it?" Gao Fei asked.
The landlady raised two stubby fingers: "200 pounds of pork is worth one month's rent! If we hunt wild boar in the future, we will also discount it at this price. How about that?"
Gao Fei was a little moved, but he still had to discuss it with Martin and listen to his partner's opinion.
"We shot five wild boars, and only two of them weighed more than two hundred pounds." Martin said angrily. "If the trade was based on pounds, we would not be in a hurry to hunt wild boars, and let the wild boars dig more cornfields for food." Wouldn’t it be more cost-effective to slaughter them if they are fat and strong?”
Okay, brother, "raise the bandits to respect themselves" is very fun!
Gao Fei couldn't help laughing.
When the landlady heard Martin's complaints, she was really worried that he was playing dirty tricks, raising wild boars without killing them to maximize profits, so she quickly put on a flattering smile.
"Mr. Wayne, Mr. Page! You can't live on the farm forever. I'll give you a week at most. You must kill all the wild boars!"
"Of course, I won't let your hard work go in vain!"
"In addition to the purchase price we just negotiated, I will try my best to introduce you to business in the future and help you make a lot of money. How about that?"
Martin was also moved when he heard "introducing business".
"Mrs. Miller, your words are unfounded. You must first reveal what kind of business you plan to introduce to us?" Gao Fei inquired.
The landlady rolled her eyes, and suddenly her eyes lit up, as if she had thought of some good idea.
"You all know John d'Urberville, the grocer of Pipe Street, don't you?"
"Of course we do. We also owe Mr. Deborah 4 silver thalers for stationery. For such a small debt, he comes to collect debts every three days. It's so annoying!" Martin replied angrily.
"Hey! Don't worry about this small amount of money, I'll pay it back for you!" The landlady suddenly became generous, "The De'Urberville family has been having a troublesome thing recently, and they are trying to hide it so that no one knows about it! Hehe! They can’t hide it even if they want to, and there’s no way they can escape my eyes and ears!”
"That's right, you are the most well-informed person on our Tobacco Street. Even when a patrol officer meets a stranger, he has to ask you about the other person's background."
Gao Fei flattered casually and then asked the landlady:
"What happened to the Deber family?"
"I don't know the details, but I heard that there was a ghost haunting the family and it was making everyone in the family restless!"
The landlady grinned with gloating.
"Rogge, Martin, don't you call yourselves great detectives? Do you dare to investigate the haunting incident at the Deber family?"
"If you can make this business, you can not only make a lot of money from the stingy old man Deber, but more importantly, you can make a name for yourself. In the future, when neighbors have problems at home, they will ask you for help, and your business will definitely be prosperous!"
"Ghosts... these are not easy to deal with." Martin was a little scared.
Gao Fei calmly opened the star map and confirmed that he had received the side quest prompt, and he knew what was going on.
"Mrs. Miller, the prospects you described are so beautiful that I can't help but be moved."
"Rogge, so you are willing to accept my proposal?"
"No problem, it's settled." Gao Fei nodded readily.
The landlady was so happy that she asked her son-in-law to load the wild boar onto the caravan and take it back to the farm to weigh it.
Watching the caravan go away in a cloud of dust, Martin couldn't help but turn around and ask Gao Fei: "Brother, are you sure you can deal with ghosts?"
