Old Song seemed oblivious to the surprise that flashed across Song Xing's eyes. He chuckled and said, "Xing'er, isn't your restaurant doing quite well? Do you buy wild boar? We hunted several wild boars today."
How did they become so amazing?
Song Xing hadn't had a chance to ask yet.
Their restaurant manager, Lin, came over and asked, "Do you really sell wild boar?"
Song Xia and the others led him outside.
Song Xing followed him out.
His eyes widened instantly when he saw the wild boars lying on the oxcart.
So many!
Manager Lin was also somewhat surprised. After inspecting the animals, he bought two large wild boars from Song Xia and his companions for 25 coins per pound.
He wanted them all, but the problem was that his restaurant couldn't handle so many wild boars in a short time.
The two wild boars weighed a total of 422 catties and were sold for 10 taels of silver and 550 coins.
As Song Xia and his companions took their leave.
Song Xing chased after her and said, "Xia'er, you should still be selling your wild boar, right? You can try Suiyuan Restaurant and Mingfeng Restaurant. Both of them are pretty good. You should definitely avoid Zhang's Restaurant. They not only haggle over prices badly, but they also like to weigh it by the piece..."
"Third Brother, thank you."
After thanking them, Song Xia went with Song Lao Er and the others to the two restaurants that Song Xing had mentioned to sell wild boar.
Suiyuan Restaurant ordered two wild boars, one large and one small, and Mingfeng Restaurant did the same.
The four wild boars weighed a total of 580 catties. The two restaurants offered a lower price of 23 wen per catty, and they sold them for a total of 13 taels of silver and 340 wen.
There are now only four wild boar pups left.
Song Xia and his group tried other restaurants, but only sold one head, weighing 103 catties, at 20 coins per catty, earning them 2 taels of silver and 60 coins.
Old Man Song frowned: "What do we do? There are still three left!"
I thought about it.
Song Xia decided to sell to the wealthy households in the town, so he had the driver take the oxcart to the street where the wealthy households lived.
After their hawking...
at last.
Not only were the remaining three wild boars sold, but they also sold for good prices: one sold for 25 coins per pound, one for 26 coins per pound, and the other for 28 coins per pound.
They sold for a little over eight taels of silver in total.
Song Laosi and the others were overjoyed.
As Song Lao Er walked, he calculated: "The wild boars we sold now, plus the ones we sold before, have brought in a total of thirty-four taels of silver and ten copper coins. That's great! If we get some more, we can pay off our debts."
"That's right."
Song Laosan said with a big smile.
Song Xia didn't say anything for the time being. The next morning, he went hunting in another mountain with them. They were even luckier than yesterday. They not only encountered wild boars but also sika deer. In addition, they hunted four pheasants and five rabbits.
The two wild boars they hunted today were males, weighing a total of 500 jin (250 kg). They went to another town to sell them for 24 wen (0.025 yuan) per jin, so 500 jin would be worth 12 taels of silver.
Two sika deer, one male and one female, weighing a total of 340 jin (approximately 125 kg).
Because they were selling deer antlers along with the deer, and there weren't many people selling sika deer, Song Xia and his group were able to get a high price: 120 copper coins per catty, which brought them 40 taels of silver and 800 copper coins.
Today's sales, including yesterday's, totaled approximately eighty-six taels of silver.
The remaining ninety taels of silver are due.
Now we only need four taels of silver.
As for pheasants and rabbits.
Song Xia never intended to sell it from the beginning, so she didn't take it with her when she left.
She planned to keep one pheasant and one rabbit to cook for dinner.
The rest.
Give it all to Boss Song.
Firstly, to thank him for taking care of their family over the years.
Secondly, it's a way of building good relations with their family.
Her family members were all nice people, and she thought they were worth associating with.
Remembering the tael of silver that Brother Jin had given you as compensation, Song Lao Er opened his mouth and said, "Lao Si, you haven't used the tael of silver that Brother Jin gave you yet, have you? How about..."
Song Laosi hadn't spoken yet.
Song Xia replied, "That works out to eighty-seven taels of silver. Twenty-nine taels each for the three of you, which is just right."
Upon hearing this...
Song Lao Er's face instantly darkened: "What do you mean, you little brat!"
Hasn't he understood?
Still asking.
Song Xia said calmly, "I hunted both the wild boar and the sika deer. They're not mine, so why don't they belong to you?"
You brat!
Song Lao Er was so angry that he cursed Song Xia in his heart, but he only dared to curse in his heart.
Old Song wasn't comfortable with that either. He said, "Even so, we still moved the wild boar, didn't we?"
"yes."
Song Xia responded and continued, "You did move the wild boar, but my older sister was injured because of you. Do you think you don't have to take responsibility? So, you're out of pocket for moving the boar."
"you…"
Song Lao Er was so angry that he wanted to hit Song Xia.
Song Xia raised an eyebrow and said, "What, you want to hit me? Do you think you can beat me? You're the ones in the wrong, and you still think you're right? If you still think you're not wrong, then you can pay back the money you owe yourselves!"
If we pay them back ourselves, how can they possibly pay us back?
Old Song said with a fawning expression, "Daughter, we know we were wrong. From now on, whatever you say goes. We're all your family. Could you pay back a little less?"
"cannot!"
Song Xia wasn't buying it.
After they signed the IOU.
Song Xia returned to the village with them.
at this time.
The people from Shengyuan Gambling House were already waiting at their house.
The remaining three taels of silver.
Song Xia let Song Lao Er and the others raise the money themselves.
Song Lao Er and his men had no money on them, so where would they get the money?
They wanted to borrow from Boss Song.
Song Xia stopped her from doing so.
In the end, I borrowed it from the village head.
Now.
The debt owed by Song Lao Er and his gang had increased from twenty-nine taels of silver to thirty taels of silver.
Granny Song is here today too.
After Brother Jin and the others left.
She said to Song Lao Er and the others, "From now on, you all need to behave yourselves. Starting today, you all need to go to town and find work to pay off the money you owe as soon as possible."
They made a lot of money.
Old Song could no longer value a job that paid only one tael of silver a month.
He whispered to Song Xia, "Xia'er, didn't you say we'd help you move the game? Is there a fee? How much per trip? Dad will work for you from now on!"
"Me too!"
Song Laosan spoke very quickly.
Although Song Lao Er was somewhat reluctant, he still spoke up for the sake of money: "Me too!"
Song Xia knew exactly what they were thinking.
She didn't give in to their wishes: "Do you think the prey in the mountains is endless? If it weren't for the huge debt you owe me, I wouldn't have risked going into the mountains at all..."
Trying to make money off her? No way!
She didn't want to be so tired.
We'll see.
It's not like you're always this lucky!
Granny Song said irritably, "Did you all take what I said earlier for granted? You all better give up that idea! Otherwise, don't blame me for not giving you face as your mother."
