In the village, people would travel in small groups by cart when buying things. They would follow the cart and do everything together. So, only those who were close would share a cart. Hu Wenhua, Li Wenxu, Lao San, and Fan Xiaoliu got along well and often traveled together.

The same applies this time.

Fan Xiaoliu craned his neck to look out of the alley again and again. The city was obviously much noisier than the last time he came. He turned to Hu Wenhua, who was counting copper coins, and asked curiously, "I think something has obviously happened in the city. Why didn't you ask about it when you came into the city?"

Hu Wenhua didn't reply. He counted all the copper coins he was entitled to, made sure there were no mistakes, and put them into his cloth bag. Only then did he look up at Fan Xiaoliu and say, "My sister said that you can't chat with the shepherd when you're chopping wood, because if you chat, you can't chop wood. When it gets dark and his sheep have eaten their fill, where will your wood be?"

I thought our purpose for today was to chop wood, and we came to the prefectural city to sell rabbits! If we start asking around and delay our business, what will we do? If we can't sell the rabbits and don't make any money, how will we buy anything to take home?

Li Wen, the oldest and most composed of the four, wholeheartedly agreed with Hu Wenhua's words and kept nodding.

Everyone who entered the city knew something was going on, but he didn't care even when the magistrate was distributing money!

After all, the money distributed by the magistrate might not necessarily reach him, and he might not be able to snatch it, but the rabbit was definitely his. Once he sold it, he would have money, and he could continue to sell it for a long time. Compared to something illusory, the money that he could actually get was the best.

Xu Laosan was neither as steady as Li Wen nor as carefree as Fan Xiaoliu. He was also curious about what had happened, but after hearing Hu Wenhua's explanation, he immediately sided with Hu Wenhua.

Yes, the family didn't give us any money this time. We're counting on the money from selling the rabbit to buy things to take home. If the rabbit doesn't sell, we won't be able to buy the things we need. The people at home who are waiting for us will be disappointed.

You can watch the excitement anytime, and it's not too late to inquire now. Besides, having money in hand gives you peace of mind, and the feeling of walking on the street is different!

"Yes, yes, Brother Wenhua is right. We can't neglect our important business and just do things haphazardly, or we'll end up with nothing."

This was the first time Fan Xiaoliu had heard of the analogy of chopping wood and herding sheep. After thinking about it, he realized that it made perfect sense!

“My second sister-in-law is absolutely right, I can understand her completely.”

Hearing Fan Xiaoliu, who was also a member of the Fan family, praise his sister, Hu Wenhua was extremely proud. "That's right, my sister is the best."

"But now that we've sold the rabbit, we have some money. We can go and inquire about it later."

The four of them were delighted when money was mentioned.

Last time was the first time they sold rabbits, and most sold two or three. This time, some sold five or six, while others sold three or four. Each fat rabbit cost a little over one hundred coins, which means they had at least four or five hundred coins on them!

Each rabbit costs five coins to Hu Wenhua, so even if there are six rabbits, it would only cost thirty coins, while the total copper coins from six rabbits would be more than seven hundred coins!

Thirty coins is nothing compared to more than seven hundred coins.

Li Wenxu, Lao San, and Fan Xiaoliu were quite satisfied. Their number of rabbits in the group was neither too many nor too few. Each person received about 500 coins, and half a tael of silver could buy quite a lot of things. They were content.

Hu Wenhua was also very satisfied.

This time, the villagers sold more rabbits than last time, almost double the amount. He was paid by the rabbit, and his earnings were also almost double the amount last time.
