Chapter 6 Selling Wolf Meat

Erbao couldn't help but sigh, "Having enough to eat and drink, a house to live in, and a soft bed to sleep on, it's simply too happy! Brother, do you think my stepmother will always be this good?"

Dabao stared at the roof beam with a calm expression.

"Don't be careless, maybe he's pretending, maybe there's some hidden conspiracy, just wait and see."

Erbao added, "If it's fake, it would be nice if it could keep on pretending."

The little girl was sleeping nearby, sucking her own fingers, blinking her eyes, and listening to her brothers talking.

Her fingers were usually dirty, so Dabao wouldn't let her suck them. But today they were washed clean, so Dabao just pretended not to see it.

When Jiang Lianzhu finished her bath and entered the house, the three cubs had already fallen asleep because they could not hold on any longer.

However, they all subconsciously huddled together in a defensive posture. She still needed to work harder to let them let go of the knot of previous abuse and slowly accept the new her.

Dabao is handsome and scheming, Erbao is smart and daring, and Sanbao is fierce and fierce. The more she looks at him, the more she likes him.

Jiang Lianzhu lay quietly on the outermost side of the kang and fell asleep.

The mind thinks of her arsenal...

But there was no response for a long time?

Was the scene before where she was fighting the wolf with IR just an illusion?

Impossible!

There was a hole burned on the wolf's head, and a piece of its fur was burnt. It couldn't be an illusion.

So maybe it can only be triggered under certain conditions?

Is it possible that it can only be used when encountering danger?

Because when people encounter danger, they will be highly nervous and focused...

Jiang Lianzhu was not discouraged. Okay, let’s watch it next time. I’m really too sleepy. Let’s go to bed first.

***

The next day, early in the morning.

We ate wolf meat soup with sweet potato starch. After eating wolf meat all day yesterday, the children were not as hungry as they were yesterday.

Meat is rich in oil and can satisfy hunger. Yesterday, each child could eat two large bowls of meat at each meal. Today, they were not as strong. Each of them ate half a bowl of meat and a bowl of meat soup. They couldn’t eat anything else.

After Jiang Lianzhu fed the cubs, she took the wolf skin and half of the wolf meat to the town. She wanted to sell them and exchange them for some daily necessities.

My family is really poor.

Wangjia Village is a bit far from the town. Jiang Lianzhu was penniless and couldn't take a bullock cart, so she had to walk. It took her one or two hours to go there and back.

The children were still young and could not walk far, so Jiang Lianzhu did not take them with her.

Following the route the original owner remembered, it took more than half an hour to reach the town. He walked slowly and missed the bustle of the morning market.

She first went to sell wolf meat. Wolf meat did not last long in the hot weather, and Jiang Lianzhu did not know how much it cost per pound. She first went to the pork stall, intending to see how much the pork was being sold for, and then she would make an estimate.

By this time, the pork vendor had sold most of their meat at the morning market, leaving only two lean pieces of meat and a few large bones. I asked the price and learned that the lean meat was twelve cents per pound, the fat meat was eighteen cents per pound, and the pork belly was fifteen cents per pound...

While Jiang Lianzhu was asking for the price, several people came over to buy meat. The owner apologized, saying that the meat was sold out today and asked them to come early tomorrow...

Meat is a rare commodity, not something you can just ask for. The market conditions vary from day to day: sometimes it's busier, so pork sales are higher; sometimes it's quieter, so things don't sell as well. Like today, when the crowds were high, there wasn't much pork on hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Lianzhu had an idea. "Boss, I have half a wolf meat here. I walked here and it's too late to sell it. If you want to buy it back, I can sell it to you in its entirety."

The old butcher became interested when he heard it, "Real wolf meat? Bring it here and see." This thing is not common.

Wolves live in groups, so it is not easy for a hunter to kill a wolf. This young lady must have an experienced hunter in her family to be able to hunt wolves.

Jiang Lianzhu took out half a wolf from the big backpack, wrapped it in leaves, and the meat was fresh.

The old butcher was a connoisseur of goods. "Oh, not bad. I'll give you fifteen cents per pound. I'll charge you as many pounds as you can get. What do you think?"

Jiang Lianzhu thought that the wolf meat was being bought back at the same price as pork belly, which was beyond her expectations. After all, it saved her the time of hawking her goods. The less money, the better. It saved her trouble.

But he said, "We have eaten this wolf meat in our family. The taste and texture are good. The boss is straightforward, so I won't say much. Just give me the remaining two pounds of lean meat and pork bones, and I won't be picky about the price."

The old butcher smiled and agreed.

He can sell it at twice the price, which is equivalent to a zero-cost transaction.

When half the wolf meat was weighed, it weighed forty-one pounds, and one pound was fifteen cents, making a total of six hundred and fifteen cents.

They gave me two pounds of lean pork and three large pork bones.

Jiang Lianzhu held the purse with mixed feelings. She finally had some money in her hand.

The original owner was so poor she didn't have a penny. This was the first pot of gold she earned after traveling through time. Although it wasn't even a tael of silver, it was still money! Having money made one feel at ease.

Carrying the wolf skin, Jiang Lianzhu went to the grocery store again. She peeled the wolf skin relatively completely. Except for a burnt hole on the forehead, the rest was intact.

Wolf skin is more valuable than wolf meat.

The owner of the first grocery store took advantage of the fact that Jiang Lianzhu was a woman and only offered her five hundred coins. Jiang Lianzhu didn't say a word and just picked up the wolfskin and left.

Came to the second grocery store.

Jiang Lianzhu said directly, "Boss, I have a wolf skin here. What's your price? If the price is right, I need money urgently, so I'll sell it. If the price is not right, I'll take it to the county town another day to have another look..."

The grocery store owner was an honest man. When he saw that Jiang Lianzhu had peeled the wolf skin completely, he could tell that her knife skills were pretty good.

This wolf skin is the skin of an adult wolf, it is wide and large.

"My dear, your leather is okay, but it hasn't been processed, it's still bloody and can't be sold at a high price. I can give you at most one and a half taels of silver. If you can process it well, I can give you three or four taels..."

Jiang Lianzhu thought about it and it made sense.

Tanning takes time and craftsmanship, which is not her specialty. But being able to get one and a half taels is much better than the five hundred wen from the shop next door.

"Yes. Thank you, shopkeeper."

After selling the wolf skin, Jiang Lianzhu had more than two taels of silver in her hands.

She went to buy daily necessities, starting with rice, flour, grain and oil. The children must eat nutritious food when they are growing up. She bought ten kilograms of white flour, ten kilograms of corn flour, ten kilograms of millet, two kilograms of peanut oil, two kilograms of salt, one kilogram of brown sugar, one kilogram of bean curd, and some cooking condiments. The variety of condiments was definitely not as many as modern ones, but the common ginger, onion, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, bay leaves and so on were still there.
