Chapter 53 I can't think of a name
"Little brother, if you have something good in the future, just come to me at Linjiang Tower. Price is not a problem.
These are our Linjianglou snacks, take them with you on the road." The shopkeeper enthusiastically escorted Gu Yan out.
It's no wonder the shopkeeper is so enthusiastic. That's a tiger, isn't it? And a black bear. Is that something an average hunter can kill?
With these good things, he might even be able to show up in front of his master.
Later he would organize people to send the tigers and black bears to the Linjianglou main store in the capital, as well as some wild buffaloes and sheep.
There is no need to worry about not being able to store it on the road. They have special channels and it will only take two or three days to send it back by express horse. Just put more ice cubes in the carriage.
They have an ice cellar in Linjiang Tower, which is why he dared to accept so much from Gu Yan.
"Okay, okay. Next time I catch a good prey, I will definitely send it to Linjiang Tower." Although Gu Yan's words were polite, they were also sincere.
After all, Linjianglou can be sold at a good price and it is not too far from home.
After leaving Linjiang Tower, Gu Yan went to the grove outside the city to pick up Li Wanqing.
Gu Yan had no other choice. It was impossible for so many prey to appear out of thin air, right? He could only make up an excuse and say that his brothers didn't want to show up, so he waited in the woods outside the city with the prey.
It took him five times to deliver all the prey.
Another benefit of what he said is that it can prevent Linjianglou from being robbed by other gangs.
Although the shopkeeper seems to be a good person on the surface, one cannot judge a person by his appearance. To be able to manage such a large restaurant, he must have some skills.
Even for money, Gu Yan would pay him every time he delivered prey, and he wanted it in cash.
It was not until the last trip that Linjianglou had no cash left and used silver notes.
"Wife, get in the car quickly." When Gu Yan came over, he saw Li Wanqing standing on the side of the road.
Li Wanqing didn't wait for Gu Yan to come and help her, she jumped up by holding the shaft of the cart.
Seeing that Li Wanqing was sitting firmly, Gu Yan handed over the banknote: "Wife, this is 1,300 taels of silver, please keep it."
This time they sold all the prey in the space except for what they ate themselves.
This time he collected over three thousand taels of silver, of which one thousand taels were for the tiger, one thousand two hundred taels for the three black bears, and five hundred taels for the deer.
The wild buffaloes were sold at twenty-five taels each, and eighteen of them were sold, totaling four hundred and thirty taels. Thirty wild sheep were sold at ten taels each, totaling three hundred taels.
All together they sold for a total of 3,430 taels, and received a total of 1,300 taels of silver notes and 2,130 taels of silver ingots.
"Wife, shall we continue to go to the provincial capital?" Gu Yan asked.
They originally wanted to sell the prey, but now that the prey has been sold, there is no need to go to the provincial capital.
But I still have to listen to my wife. If she wants to go, she can go.
"Go ahead, now that you're out, let's go to the provincial capital. We have a lot of ginseng in our hands, and it's useless to keep them all. Let's go to the provincial capital to check the price. If it's suitable, sell a few." It was Li Wanqing who talked about selling ginseng as if it were cabbage.
"Okay, let's go." Gu Yan agreed and drove the carriage on the road.
This time there was no rush to sell the prey, and the two of them just took their time to travel and enjoy the scenery.
If I see beautiful scenery on the road, I will stop to take a look and play.
They walked and played along the way, and entered the city on the afternoon of the third day.
"Husband, is this the provincial capital? It's so lively." Li Wanqing no longer sat in the carriage, but sat on the shaft.
They are hunters, but they don't have the rules of wealthy families.
Gu Yan had never been to the provincial capital, so everything he saw was new to him.
A prefectural city is a prefectural city, and it cannot be compared with an ordinary county town. There are obviously many more vendors on both sides of the streets.
Most of the buildings on both sides are two-story.
Gu Yan no longer sat in the carriage. He got out and pulled the horse away.
"Wife, let's find an inn to stay in first, and then go out to eat and go shopping later." Gu Yan felt that it was inconvenient to go shopping with a carriage, so he wanted to park the carriage in the inn.
Li Wanqing had no objection. She thought it was more interesting to go shopping by herself and stroll around slowly.
I found an inn that looked pretty good, paid for three days' stay directly, and asked the waiter to pull the carriage to the backyard.
"Dear guests, this is your room, Room No. 2. Please go in and rest for a while. I will bring you hot water right away." A waiter took them to the second floor.
After the waiter left, Li Wanqing immediately sat on the bed: "Ah, although riding in a carriage is not tiring, it is still very exhausting. I want to take a nice bath tonight."
Gu Yan was used to being rough, so he didn't feel that tired, but his wife was different.
Gu Yan went forward to massage his wife's lower back and said, "Wife, if you are tired, go to bed early today. We can go shopping tomorrow."
"That's fine, but let's go out for something nice to eat tonight. Didn't we hear that Linjianglou also has a branch in the provincial capital? Let's go there and try the roasted venison." Li Wanqing said.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Gu Yan would agree to Li Wanqing's request as long as he could do it.
The waiter brought hot water, and the two of them simply washed up and changed their clothes.
They were going to a restaurant to eat, so of course they couldn't look dirty and sloppy.
Respect the clothes first and then the person. This saying applies at all times.
"Old man, could you please tell me how to get to Linjiang Building?" Gu Yan stopped an old man passing by and asked.
"Linjiang Building? Go straight along this street, turn left at the intersection, and walk a few dozen meters to get there." The old man said with a smile.
"Thank you, old man." After thanking him, the two of them continued walking along the road.
After all, it is the provincial capital. Although it is getting dark, the number of pedestrians on the road has not decreased significantly.
The two people followed the old man's instructions and soon saw Linjiang Tower.
"My dear guests, please come in. Would you like to eat in the private room upstairs or in the lobby? We at Linjianglou have newly introduced charcoal-grilled bear meat, stewed bear meat in broth, and stir-fried bear meat with bamboo shoots. Would you like to try them?"
This black bear comes from the deep mountains and forests, and our restaurant only got one.
We also have roasted venison, which is our restaurant's signature dish, as well as fresh beef and mutton. What would you like to eat, guests?" While leading Gu Yan and the others for a while, the waiter eloquently listed all the dishes in the restaurant.
I have to say that not everyone could be a waiter in ancient times. With such eloquence, most people really couldn't do it.
"We want a roasted venison, a braised lion's head dish, a Kung Pao chicken, and an egg drop soup." Gu Yan and Li Wanqing discussed it and ordered a few dishes.
As for bear meat, Li Wanqing didn't want to eat it, so she didn't order it.
Three dishes and a soup are enough for two people.
They will be here for two more days, so there will be plenty of time to eat delicious food.
