After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 109 Who doesn’t like to hear nice words!

Boss Ye didn't expect that on this trip to the city today, he not only picked up a roe deer for free and sold it for so much money, but also found a place where he could purchase game on a long-term basis.

He immediately asked, "I still have some pheasants and rabbits that we caught the other day. Would you like some, Manager Liu?"

Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Liu shook his head and said, "Pheasants and rabbits are too common. I have people who deliver them here specially.

"Like roe deer, sika deer, raccoon dog, wild turtle, or larger snakes, or even wild boars."

Boss Ye thought that was right. With such a high price, how could they accept everything?

He took everything Manager Liu said to heart, and thought that after burying his father, he would go hunting in the mountains every day.

As they were talking, the guys had already prepared everything, and Manager Liu started to skin the roe deer.

Manager Liu's smooth movements stunned Boss Ye.

Compared with others, his skinning skills are really not good enough.

Soon, a complete roe deer skin was peeled off.

Shopkeeper Liu handed the roe deer skin to Boss Ye, then turned around and washed his hands in the basin of water held by the waiter.

Boss Ye thought of his sika deer hide and asked, "Manager Liu, do you know where in the city I can find good tanning skills? Besides this roe deer hide, I also have a sika deer hide I'd like to process."

"You've asked the right person," said Old Yan. "He gets so much game every year, and he has a close relationship with the tanner, Huang Datou!"

Under normal circumstances, Manager Liu would not bother to take care of these trivial matters.

But since he was impressed by Boss Ye's hunting skills and wanted to have long-term cooperation in the future, it would be better to help him out of this favor.

So after he gave the money from selling the roe deer to Boss Ye, he called his servant over and said, "Little Fourth, take them to find Huang Datou."

Xiao Sizi responded and took Boss Ye and others out and turned into the alley behind.

Not far from the entrance of the alley is a small workshop with a big word "皮" (pi) written on the door.

Xiao Sizi came to the door and greeted the man who was sewing a pair of leather boots inside, "Shopkeeper Huang, are you busy?"

Huang Datou looked up and saw that it was Xiao Sizi. A smile immediately appeared on his face. "Why, did your master get some good leather again?"

"Today it's not my master's hide that's wanted. This elder brother has hides that he wants you to nitrate. My master asked me to bring them here."

Xiao Sizi's last sentence sounded redundant, but in fact it was a reminder to Huang Datou, letting him know that the person was introduced by Manager Liu, so that he would not neglect or cheat him.

Although Huang Datou has good skills, his business in this small county town is always not as good as that in big cities.

Fortunately, Manager Liu takes care of his business. Throughout the year, more than half of his business comes from the game restaurant.

So when he heard that it was Shopkeeper Liu who sent him, he immediately nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Liu and I have been working together for so many years, when have we ever had any problems?"

Xiao Sizi completed his mission, said hello to Boss Ye, and turned around to go back.

Boss Ye hurriedly chased after him and stuffed a handful of copper coins he had just prepared into his hand: "Thank you for bringing us here, little brother. Take this money and have some tea."

Seeing that Boss Ye was quite understanding, Xiao Sizi did not refuse. He accepted the copper coins with a smile and said, "My master likes to hunt alive. When you go hunting in the mountains in the future, try to catch them alive if you can.

"If the roe deer we got today was alive, I could at least give you an extra half ounce of silver."

"Thank you for your advice, young man. I will try to catch it alive next time." Boss Ye thanked him repeatedly and waited until Xiao Sizi left before turning back to the leatherwork shop.

Huang Datou was observing the two pieces of leather spread on the table at this time.

A sika deer skin and a roe deer skin.

He took one look and said, "It's obvious that Manager Liu peeled this roe deer hide himself. This sika deer hide is a bit rough."

"How about Manager Liu recommend you to us? You have a really sharp eye.

"I just skinned this sika deer myself. I'm sorry to bother you."

After hearing what Boss Ye said, Huang Datou smiled proudly.

“Fortunately, the skin is intact, but there is a lot of minced meat inside, so it’s a bit difficult to clean up.

"But don't worry, since you were introduced by Manager Liu, I definitely won't cheat you."

"That's right." After hearing this, Boss Ye felt a little uneasy. He didn't know whether the price of nitrate here was expensive.

But I'm already here, and it was Manager Liu who introduced me, so I can't just turn around and leave. Even if it's expensive, I have to bite the bullet and pay.

He asked tentatively, "I wonder how much these two pieces of skin cost in total?"

"This roe deer skin is smaller and has been peeled cleanly, so I'll give it to you for fifty coins.

"This deerskin is so big, and it's not cleaned yet. One hundred and fifty coins is not less."

After hearing this, Boss Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the price is a bit higher than that outside the Great Wall, it is not too exaggerated. Maybe the craftsmanship there is better!

So Boss Ye didn't bargain, and agreed immediately and asked, "When can I pick it up?"

"I'll write you an order. Come pick it up in a month." Huang Datou said, "Pay when you hand over the leather. If I damage the leather, I'll compensate you according to the price."

When Boss Ye heard this, he realized that the rules were similar to those outside the pass. He felt relieved and nodded, saying, "Okay, if you hit something else later, I'll come over."

Huang Datou was surprised when he heard this. What does this mean? Is this a regular customer?

So while he was writing the list, he asked, "Judging from your accent, you're not locals, are you?"
