C12 Selling Prey
First, they carefully picked out the tiny wooden sticks that had been inserted into the prey's body. Then, they wrapped the fox and rabbit tightly with rags to prevent them from being tied up by firewood again in the basket backpack, affecting their appearance. Finally, he covered them with the firewood he picked up yesterday as a cover.
However, there was no firewood in Lin Miaoting's basket backpack. He only placed the live rabbit that he caught yesterday and covered it with a rag to cover the rabbit inside.
Lin Zhize and Lin Miaoting had put on their clothes early and waited in the house. Although the house was very cold, Lin Miaoting and her family's hearts were burning.
When Lin Miaoting and her father left, it was still very dark. Tang Xuemei gave Lin Kaishan a few words and at the same time passed the freshly baked biscuit and a slightly damaged lantern to Lin Miaoting and her father.
In fact, if it was not because Lin Miaoting holding the live rabbit that was too conspicuous, it would easily attract the attention of the villagers. Tang Xuemei would not have let the father and son of the Lin family rush into town in the middle of the night. After all, the temperature at night in winter was much lower than during the day.
Lin Miaoting and the other two took Tang Xuemei to town. The freshly baked cake was placed in front of their chest, making them feel warmer. The three of them walked happily on the way to Luohe Town.
It was dawn in the winter, and when the father and son of the Lin family went out, it was around four o'clock in the morning. They walked for nearly an hour. We can't get to the county. The sky had just turned a little blue.
The father and son of Lin family found a very good place and prepared to sell the firewood that they used as cover.
As the sky became brighter and brighter, all kinds of small vendors were distributed to the stalls. The shops on both sides of the road also opened one after another.
Lin Miaoting carefully sized up the peddlers around her. She wanted to see what they were selling so that she could research new products in the future and not lose the competitive market.
The firewood from the Lin family was bought by the customers who came and went. Because Lin Kaishan and Lin Zhize had picked up the firewood in the mountains, the quality was better, and the selling speed was faster. The price of three wen per bundle was quickly sold out.
The sun was still slightly east, which meant that it was not noon yet.
Because of the fair price he paid for the prey the last time he went back to Jufu Restaurant, Lin Kaishan led his children and headed straight to Jufu Restaurant. Just like the last time, Lin Kaishan led Lin Zhize and his sister to the side door of Jufu Restaurant.
After lightly buttoning the iron ring on the door, the middle-aged man from last time, who was also the manager of Jufu Restaurant, came out to welcome them.
"Yo, brother is here again so soon. I remember you came two days ago, and today you have something. The shopkeeper asked with a smile.
Lin Kaishan did not waste any time. He opened the two rags in the basket backpack and let out a dead rabbit and a dead fox.
The shopkeeper's eyes were fixed on the fox. Although its leg was injured, the rest of its body was intact. His heart was full of surprise. He had been thinking about what good things he would bring to his boss this year, but now he was here.
The more he looked at the dead fox, the more satisfied the shopkeeper of Jufu Restaurant became. After all, this fox was cunning. If one didn't have the ability, one wouldn't be able to get this fox.
Thinking about the gift he was going to give to his boss this year, he looked at the fox and felt very happy. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile.
" Mmm, not bad. This time, my brother was very lucky. I don't know how much money my brother is planning to sell for. "Without the arrogant tone from the last time, this time, the shopkeeper humbly asked.
Shopkeeper, whatever you say, I'll listen to you. As much as you say, I believe you won't lie to me. Lin Kaishan replied happily.
The manager of Jufu Restaurant seemed to be thinking about something, but Lin Miaoting, who was standing next to Lin Kaishan, felt happy. "This father of hers will even put a tall hat on others! This sentence of believing that he won't lie to me, this manager probably won't be able to bargain anymore."
"Alright, a hole has already been dug into the abdomen of this rabbit. This fur is no longer needed. " Fortunately, it's thick. I'll give you one or two silver. As he spoke, the shopkeeper made a gesture with his right hand.
"As for this fox, it's relatively intact. Moreover, it's a red fox. However, its right leg was pierced through. " I'll give you 35 taels. "Since I'm giving away this fur to someone else, I'll have to find someone else to deal with it, so the price is a bit low. "But you can also sell it to someone else."
Lin Kaishan thought that although a good fox skin could be sold for forty taels, he would not skin it. If it was damaged, it would be more troublesome. He nodded his head in satisfaction and agreed.
"Sure." Lin Kaishan turned to Lin Miaoting and signaled with his eyes. Lin Miaoting understood and took off her basket backpack and handed it to Lin Kaishan.
"My daughter still has a live rabbit in her hand. I wonder if Shopkeeper wants it? Take a look! Lin Kaishan opened the curtain on the basket backpack and lifted the rag on it.
"Live? "The shopkeeper of Jufu Restaurant was even more surprised. There were a lot of dead people who came to sell, but there were very few living rabbits. Although there are living rabbits in the family, the meat of the wild rabbits is chewy! The manager didn't even think about it before asking for the price.
"I'll give you two or three silver taels for this live rabbit. His right hand was three times higher than his right hand. "I'll raise this live rabbit for two days and wait for the opening of the shop during the new year to sell it."
After the bidding ended, Lin Kaishan and the manager of Jufu Restaurant paid each other with one hand and the other with the other. It could be said that the goods were worth two or three taels of silver.
Just like that, the three men from Lin family received a total of 39 silver taels. Before they left, the manager of Jufu Restaurant also packed some snacks for the father and son duo. He said that they would be able to feed the children on the way home at noon.
With a huge sum of thirty-nine taels in his pocket, the father and son of Lin family ran towards New Year's Goods Street happily. They were planning to go shopping like crazy. After a luxurious New Year.
