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 286: You will be credited with the first reward for what happened today!

Zhan Changsheng followed the captain back to Wang Guangping's house and found that the entourage brought by the captain was nowhere to be seen.

"Captain Hu, why are the young constable who drove the carriage and your horse gone?"

"Oh, I just heard that Rongxi Village had encountered a wild boar, so I sent him back to inform our master.

"It's almost the end of the year, and we adults are worried that something might happen in our jurisdiction.

"Send someone back to tell him the news, so that he can be at ease."

After hearing this explanation, Zhan Changsheng felt that it made sense and did not become suspicious.

The main reason was that he always felt that the police chiefs in small places were strong-limbed but simple-minded people.

He didn't think that the head constable would be able to detect his true intention from his slightly anxious attitude.

"Then let's hurry back so we don't miss out on Ye Zhuangshi again."

"Okay, don't worry. There's only one way back to the city from Rongxi Village. I won't miss it again."

Because the constable rode Captain Hu's horse back to report the news, Captain Hu took the initiative to drive the carriage. After asking Zhan Changsheng to get on the carriage, he whipped the horse and slowly set off on the road back to the city.

At this time, Boss Ye was at the game restaurant, unloading wild boars from his car.

A big wild boar plus five living half-grown wild boars made the game restaurant owner Liu very happy.

Big wild boars can still be encountered occasionally, but these half-grown piglets are hard to find.

These piglets have not yet escaped the care of their sows, and sows with piglets are not easy to deal with. Even experienced hunters have to form a group to deal with them.

"I just heard a few days ago that wild boars have started coming down the mountain to damage crops.

"I was thinking about whether I should find a way to contact you and see if you could get both of them over to me.

"I didn't expect you to deliver the goods to my door before I even looked for you!"

Shopkeeper Liu was talking as he walked around a few half-grown pigs.

The more he looked at it, the happier he became. He turned around and told his servant, "Send a message to the customers who want to eat wild boar, and tell them to eat this big pig tonight.

"These piglets are alive. Let's raise them for a few days. Then we can invite Mr. Cen over and have a roasted whole pig."

After saying this, Shopkeeper Liu turned around, patted Boss Ye on the shoulder, and said, "Bring your wife and daughter to eat with us then. It will be my extra thanks to you."

As he spoke, he called his men to weigh the wild boar.

Sow meat is certainly not as valuable as live half-grown piglets, but this sow is still relatively young, not an old pig that has given birth to many litters, so the price given by Manager Liu is quite fair: a pig weighing more than 300 pounds, and ten cents per pound.

Of the remaining five piglets, the heaviest weighed 65 jin and the lightest weighed 58 jin, totaling just over 300 jin, and each jin cost 20 wen.

Shopkeeper Liu generously took out a round amount and directly gave Boss Ye a silver note for ten taels of silver.

He told his men to put the half-grown piglets in the pen in the backyard, then patted Boss Ye on the shoulder and said, "If you have any of these goodies again, remember to bring them back to me."

"That's for sure. Now, no matter what game I hunt, I always come to ask you if you want it.

"If you don't want it here, I'll try to sell it to someone else!"

"That's right, let's benefit each other, cooperate happily, and make money together!" Before Manager Liu finished speaking, two people in constable uniforms came in hurriedly from outside.

"What brings you two gentlemen here today? I just happened to have some fresh wild boar meat. How about I make two dishes for you two to enjoy with your wine?"

Manager Liu was a businessman after all, so he immediately put on a smile when facing the government officials.

"Manager Liu, we're not here to eat today. We're here to look for someone."

When the two constables heard the word "wild boar", they knew they had found the right person. They turned around and saw Boss Ye standing beside them.

One of the constables clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, is this warrior Ye Qingchen?"

Although the county magistrate had previously celebrated the awards given to the brothers Ye Qingchen and Ye Qingan, the constables in the county government had all met Boss Ye.

But he had shaved that day and dressed himself up to look very handsome, which was quite different from his unshaven and sleep-deprived look today.

So the two constables looked at him and were a little unsure, so they decided to say hello first to avoid making the wrong choice later.

"I don't dare to call myself a brave man. I am Ye Qingchen. I wonder what the two officials want from me?" Boss Ye was a little surprised and thought, isn't it forbidden to hunt wild boars?

That's not right. If hunting wild boars is prohibited, then the game restaurant certainly wouldn't dare to take them in. Even if they did, they should do it secretly!

"Master Ye, my master heard about your heroic performance last night, single-handedly taking out eight wild boars (three large and five small) that were causing trouble in the village. He was overjoyed and sent us to invite you over immediately. He wanted to hear about your experience and see if there's anything other villages and towns can learn from you."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Liu's attention shifted immediately. He grabbed him and said, "You're such a good fellow, Boss Ye! You just said you'd save all the game for me, and now you're hiding something from me? Where are the other two wild boars? Who did you sell them to?"

Boss Ye said with a helpless smile, "Manager Liu, you misunderstood. I did shoot and kill three wild boars last night.

“But apart from the one that broke into my house and I dealt with it alone, I dealt with the other two together with the villagers.

"Plus, the other two families were also severely damaged by wild boars, so the meat of the two wild boars was divided among the villagers."

"So that's what's going on." Shopkeeper Liu immediately put on a smile again, loosened his grip on Boss Ye's arm, and patted him twice, saying, "I knew you were always an honest person.
