Chapter 152 It's a pity you don't know the value of it
The stall owner, a hunter by trade, immediately recognized the duck, but his doubts deepened: "You're selling me a wild duck? Why should I buy it?"
He is a hunter himself. Although wild ducks are not easy to catch, as long as you are willing to put in the effort and spend time, you can always catch one or two. Why would he buy other people's for no reason?
"Because you can make more money." Sang Yu said something that was difficult to understand.
In Sang Xingjia's eyes, she looked like a monk who was making witty remarks, saying a bunch of words that ordinary people couldn't understand, and she seemed very obscure.
The stall owner was a rough man, and after just two or three sentences, he had lost interest in continuing the conversation.
He waved his hand nonchalantly: "I don't understand what you mean, and I won't spend money to buy your wild duck. Hurry up and leave. Don't stand here and delay my business."
Sang Yu wanted to say something else, but her sleeves were pulled twice.
She glanced over and saw Sang Xingjia whispering to her, "Little sister, let's go first. Don't provoke him. I can't beat him."
This is indeed true. Unable to sell the wild duck directly for money to save time, Sang Yu sighed helplessly and said, "It's a pity you don't know the value of it." Then he turned and left.
She couldn't help but miss the hunter she had met before who claimed to have hunted bears. If he were in front of her, he would definitely spend money to buy these two mallards.
I originally wanted to have a win-win deal, but I didn't expect to meet a person who didn't know the value of the goods.
She left happily, leaving ripples in the hunter's heart. He couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that those two wild ducks were really treasures and he had misjudged them?
He quickly changed his mind and felt relieved. Perhaps those two had deliberately told him this to trick him. The right thing to do was to ignore them and quietly sell his game.
The sign they received was relatively close to the front, so it didn't take them long to find it.
Sang Xingjia hung up the sign and, while taking the two wild ducks out of the bamboo basket, asked Sang Yu what she had just said: "Little sister, why did you just say that the stall owner didn't know the goods?"
He didn't see anything special about these two wild ducks.
"Brother, I have a question for you." Since he failed to sell the product, Sang Yu simply sat on the ground and waited for customers to come, and answered his questions by the way.
He didn't expect to be asked a counter-question before his question was even explained, but Sang Xingjia still nodded and agreed: "Hmm? What's the question?"
"Have you ever been to a wedding?"
"I have participated. Does this have anything to do with what just happened?" He was still confused.
Sang Yu smiled slightly. "Except for the betrothal ceremony, the other five ceremonies in the wedding ceremony all use wild geese. Especially the goose-laying ceremony, which is indispensable, right?"
Sang Xingjia nodded, not quite understanding. The wild goose is a spiritual bird that possesses all the five virtues. Using it in the six ceremonies is also a good blessing and expectation for the newlyweds.
If someone holds a wedding, other things may be missing, but a pair of wild geese with big red flowers hanging around their necks is definitely indispensable.
"Brother, you're used to seeing wild geese used as gifts at weddings in the capital, but you don't know that in the suburbs and other places, if wild geese can't be caught, geese can only be used instead."
After Sang Yu finished speaking, Sang Xingjia vaguely understood. He pointed at the two mallards in front of him and asked in surprise, "Can they also replace wild geese?"
"Of course, mallards are better than geese. I even picked out a male and a female to make a pair."
Ordinary families naturally could not afford the rare and expensive wild geese, but they were all needed for the five wedding gifts, so they used more easily available domestic geese or mallards instead.
Among them, mallards are more popular than domestic geese because they have similar migratory habits to geese.
From the very beginning, Sang Yu had no intention of selling these two wild ducks as meat ducks, but rather wanted to sell them to a family that was about to get married.
This way you can earn nearly half more, but you just have to spend time waiting for someone who needs it.
She thought she could make less money by selling it to others and let them sell it, but she didn't expect that she raised the price too high and was chased away as a liar.
"...Then why didn't you say it earlier?" Sang Xingjia was speechless. No wonder she vowed that she could help the hunter earn more money.
Sang Yu shrugged helplessly: "I was just about to talk about business when you pulled me away?"
Of course, there is also a big problem with her keeping the matter in suspense and not speaking directly. If she had gotten straight to the point at the beginning, the other party would probably have seriously considered it.
"Then we'll just wait here?"
After thinking about it carefully, Sang Xingjia felt that her idea was good, but it was a waste of time. Who knew when someone who just wanted to buy a mallard would come to the market?
"Hmm... wait and see. If it doesn't work, I'll find a hunter to sell it to."
It was with this in mind that Sang Yu thought of selling it directly to hunters. They hunt frequently and must know the uses of mallards, but he didn't expect to meet someone who didn't know the value of them.
People were coming and going on the streets of the market. The two siblings were sitting behind a stall with only two mallard ducks in front of them. Compared with the stalls next to them that had a wide variety of goods, they looked very shabby.
Sang Yu was feeling drowsy from the rising sun and could no longer sit still when he almost fell to the ground for the third time.
She was just thinking of finding someone who knew the value of the wild duck to sell it to and get away with it, but a tall man stood in front of the stall, and the shadow he cast blocked out most of the glaring sunlight.
Sang Yu squinted his eyes and saw that the man was a middle-aged hunter with a beard. Two deep scars about ten centimeters long ran across his right eyelid and brow bone.
This was an experienced old hunter. She immediately realized this and quickly stood up to greet him: "Do you want to buy something?"
"I don't think you're hunters, so you probably just caught a wild duck by chance."
The scar-faced hunter's stall was not far away. He had noticed the two siblings a long time ago, but he was busy with business before and only had time to come over now.
"Yes, I was lucky enough to catch two. Would you like to buy them?"
Sang Yu mentioned the word 'buy' again. The scarred hunter understood her meaning and chuckled twice. "Yes, I want to buy. There's no wedding going on around here lately, but I have an old client whose youngest son is getting married soon, and I'd like to get ten wild ducks. What do you say? Will you sell them to me?"
He had good eyesight and had recognized that the two wild ducks were a male and a female. In addition, the two ducks did not call out at all and looked like they were waiting for their destined partner, so he knew that they must be planning to sell the wild ducks to someone who was preparing for a wedding.
Just get straight to the point and skip the beating around the bush.
"Sell it. I brought it to the market to sell it, but..." Sang Yu agreed at first, but soon paused and didn't continue.
