Chapter 10 Selling Meat and Buying Cotton

[The restaurant dare not buy it]

The place where the two lived was a bit out of the way, so until the next day, the villagers didn't know that Yu Feng and Su Ye had hunted back a big boar.

Yu Feng originally wanted to cook the meat, so that everyone could have a good meal.

Su Ye thought for a while and suggested, "Winter is coming soon. I see that the children are still wearing thin clothes. Why don't we sell the boar and buy some winter clothes for everyone?"

Yu Feng's eyes lit up, and he agreed happily, "It's still Xiao Yezi who is thoughtful!"

Su Ye rolled his eyes at him, he looked quite honest, he didn't expect to be so flattering.

It took two people a lot of effort to lift the boar onto the flatbed.Yu Feng covered the pig with thatch, and piled up two stacks of firewood to save it from being too eye-catching.

Su Ye deliberately brought his clothes sewn with gold leaves, and set off.

Yujia Village belongs to Wannian County, Tonghua Township, and is the nearest village to the county seat.

Walking a few hundred steps to the west is the official road, and after going on the official road, go straight north, and you can reach the county seat after walking for about half an hour.

In ancient times, half an hour was an hour. Su Ye never thought that he could walk for such a long time, let alone push a flatbed cart—although he was just standing in front of Yufeng, holding the handle symbolically.

He is already very content with himself.

-

The two of them had already discussed on the way. Selling the boar directly to the restaurant would make more money than selling it to the butcher.

Of course, this was suggested by Su Ye again—isn’t it written like this in all novels?

After crossing, the male protagonist can casually go to the mountains to hunt a lot of prey, and the restaurants in the city are scrambling to get them, and then sign a long-term supply contract by the way... Hehehe.

However, the reality gave them a heavy blow.

"What? You don't accept it?!"

Yu Feng couldn't believe his ears—this is a wild boar, a whole wild boar, it's not something you can hunt casually!

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is slightly fat, but he speaks kindly, "To tell you the truth, not only we don't accept it, but other restaurants don't dare to accept it either."

The fat shopkeeper looked at the fat wild boar, feeling no less regretful than Yu Feng - if such a wild animal can be used as a signboard, their restaurant will definitely be full of guests within at least ten days.

Su Ye noticed the slight look of regret in his eyes, and couldn't help but ask, "Why did the shopkeeper say that? Please make it clear."

The fat shopkeeper couldn't help but feel more fond of him when he heard him speak in a gentle manner, so he said frankly: "You two don't know, the regular restaurants in the city are very strict on the things they buy. A few hunters who are used to cooperating send it, no matter whether they are dead or alive, we will not accept it..."

Su Ye suddenly realized, and said bluntly: "You are afraid that the wild boar was not killed by us, but by the two of us because it was sick, isn't it?"

Being directly pointed out, the fat shopkeeper was somewhat embarrassed, so he could only smile mischievously and nodded.

Su Ye pointed to the wound on the pig, and wanted to fight for it again.

At this moment, a person flashed in from the corner door and said abruptly: "The boar was indeed killed by the two of them together, I saw it with my own eyes."

Yu Feng and Su Ye followed the sound and were both taken aback. Did this man really see it, or did he say that on purpose?

When the fat shopkeeper saw the person coming, the smile on his face became more real, "Brother Shao, are you here?"

Shao Ping nodded, took off the frame on his back, and put it in front of the fat shopkeeper without much concern.

The fat shopkeeper took a look, and immediately burst into joy, "What a bumper harvest!"

Shao Ping was born tall and big, with open-toed straw sandals on his feet, fur half arms on his body, and a not so thick beard on his face. He was a lot stronger than Yu Feng.

Even if he was praised, he didn't show a smile.

Su Ye looked curiously into the basket that was as high as his thigh, ho!A whole basket of wild rabbits!

Yu Feng didn't care about the other party's prey, but asked seriously: "This...brother Shao, may I ask, did you really see the two of us that day?"

Shao Ping nodded, his voice was a little cold, "In the valley to the south of Bazhuo Mountain, I saw with my own eyes that you took this fool down."

He originally wanted to help when he heard the movement, but before he could get there, the boar was hacked to death by Yu Feng. He didn't want the other party to misunderstand, so he left silently.

Yu Feng nodded happily, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you Brother Shao for testifying."

Shao Ping gave a flat "um" and didn't say much.

This time, it was the fat shopkeeper who was surprised, "According to Brother Shao, could it be that such a big beast was subdued by only two little brothers?"

Yu Feng scratched his head in embarrassment, and said modestly, "Thanks to Xiao Yezi for your guidance."

"It's just a fluke." Su Ye said concisely.

The fat shopkeeper let out a long sigh of relief—this can only be classified as a "fluke".

Shao Ping is the Orion who has cooperated with Fuyuan Restaurant for the longest time and also has the largest delivery volume. With his testimony, the fat shopkeeper happily bought a whole boar.

With such a big head, it took ten strong and strong men to weigh it by lifting it on a crossbar.

580 eight catties, a very auspicious number.

In fact, the large scales at this time could not be so accurate at all, and the old man who looked at the scales called out this similar number just for auspiciousness.

The fat shopkeeper is willing to pay for this good fortune alone.

The whole pig sold [-] catties of meat for [-] Wen, and the fat shopkeeper gave them the round number of [-] Jin, and gave them a total of [-] Wen for Si Guan.

The currency of this era is mainly a kind of copper coin called "half two", which is also round on the outside and square on the inside. Some are larger and some are smaller, which does not hinder spending.

Su Ye and Yu Feng walked out of the restaurant with a heavy sum of money, with unconcealable joy on their faces.

Su Ye is fine, he was born into a wealthy family in his two lifetimes, and he has seen many gold bars and leaves since he was a child.The only thing to be happy about is that he earned the money himself.

Yu Feng was not so calm, four pens and two hundred words!He has never seen so much money since he grew up!

Shao Ping stood at the corner of the street, as if waiting for someone.

Yu Feng took two steps forward, and said enthusiastically, "Brother Shao, are you waiting for someone? Thank you for the matter just now."

Shao Ping moved his mouth, but finally he just said dryly, "You have already thanked me."

Yu Feng laughed, without any sign of anger.

Su Ye was a little unhappy, probably out of the mentality of protecting the calf, he pulled Yu Feng, "Let's go."

Unexpectedly, Shao Ping stopped him, his eyes were burning, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Su Ye frowned slightly, there is nothing wrong with this person, right?

Perhaps seeing Su's impatience on the page, Shao Ping finally spoke, his tone still somewhat unnatural, "I said I heard what you said that day... about the boar's weakness."

"Oh." Hear it when you hear it!Su Ye responded lukewarmly.

Shao Ping clenched his fists and asked bluntly, "Can I use this method in the future?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Shao Ping, but even Yu Feng looked at Su Ye expectantly.

Su Ye nodded indifferently, "Yes."

He didn't understand why the man had to ask a question.

But Yu Feng understands that these days people regard craftsmanship as very important, and they can become teachers with every word, let alone a means to save their lives.

Shao Ping took a deep look at Su Ye, and his expression was clearly respectful.

The man as calm as a mountain said solemnly: "In Xiashaoping, I am a hunter on the Bazhuo Mountain. If there is anything you two need in the future, just come and find me on every four hills of Bazhuo Mountain."

After speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for the two to respond.

Su Ye was stunned for a moment, suddenly showing a bit of slyness on his face, "He said he lives in Octopus Mountain?"

Seeing Su Ye's suddenly vivid expression, Yu Feng nodded in a daze.

Su Ye clapped her hands, "It's done!"

Yu Feng was looking forward to what to say next, but Su Ye pulled him away and said cheerfully, "Let's go buy cotton clothes!"

Hmm... Although I don't know why, but seeing Su Ye's happy face, Yu Feng felt relieved.

-

There are no specialized clothing stores in the county town, and the big shops that sell cloth and silk will sell some ready-made clothing along the way, but the price is very expensive.

Su Ye summed it up, and it would be more cost-effective to buy some cotton cores and cloth and go back and make it by himself.

The memory belonging to Su Yelan told Su Ye that there was no such thing as cotton in this era.

The stuffing in what people usually call "cotton clothes" is made of silk, which only the rich can afford.

Poor people either use hemp or rags, and some even use poplar catkins, willow catkins, and reed flowers.Of course, the warmth retention is much worse.

It was obviously cold earlier this year, and I think it will be another cold winter.

Yu Feng was holding the four pennies in the cloth bag, with a very tangled expression - even if the small pages were counted, it was still not enough to buy cloth and silk floss for the whole village.

If he is allowed to enjoy it alone without the villagers, he is absolutely unwilling. Without these kind and simple villagers, he would never grow up to such a big size.

When Yu Feng was struggling, Su Ye had already put the clothes he was wearing on the counter, and asked calmly, "Shopkeeper, does your store accept old clothes?"

The shopkeeper originally wanted to say "No", but after seeing the material of the clothes, he secretly changed his words, "If the material is good, not worn too much, and the style is not out of date, then I will accept it."

Su Ye rarely showed a smiling face, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "What do you think of this?"

It was a thin jacket, which not only had an outer jacket, but also matching trousers. Although Su Yelan didn't understand general affairs, she also knew that this dress was excellent even among the nobles in the capital.

Su Ye has already taken out the gold leaf hidden inside.

The shopkeeper picked it up symbolically, shook it, and quickly said, "Of course it's good."

Su Ye secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said calmly, "You make an offer."

The shopkeeper looked at him, but smiled and said nothing.

Su Ye was not in a hurry, and said unhurriedly, "No matter how much you pay, I will use it to buy silk floss."

The shopkeeper couldn't help being startled, seeing that the clothes of the two of them were worse than ordinary people, he didn't expect that the clothes made of cloud satin were the clothes they bought, and they had to buy silk floss.

Su Ye gave Yu Feng a wink, and Yu Feng understood, and took out all the heavy money, and put it on the counter with a bang.

The shopkeeper's eyes narrowed, and he believed it. These two people were most likely the young master and the young guard who had fallen into trouble.

Yes, that must be the case.
