"Make sure to pick the best ones, they're all the fattest!"
Li Wen, Wu Laoda, and the others thought with lingering fear that it was fortunate they hadn't stepped forward to speak, otherwise they probably would have only been able to sell twenty animals and call it a day.
How many are there now?
Fifty, plus the eighty-eight that followed.
Good heavens, more than half of them are gone in one go!
The man weighing the items felt his hands trembling with excitement.
After receiving the heavy bag of loose silver and walking a long way away, everyone still couldn't believe it.
They sold more than half of them all at once? And made more than twenty taels of silver?
When they went to the homes of the wealthy Wang and Master Zhao, Hu Wenhua was the one who went forward to talk to them again, and everyone waited patiently in the back. This time, having learned from their previous experience, even though they were shocked inside, they didn't show it on their faces.
After all the goods were sold and the money was divided among them, the men almost burst into tears.
After visiting more than 30 stores, only eight or nine rabbits were sold. I thought I would be able to take the rabbits back today, but unexpectedly, Hu Wenhua sold them all at once!
Not only did it sell, it also left a good impression, making people want to bring it over again next time they come.
The men felt that the five-copper-coin bonus for each rabbit was exceptionally worthwhile!
Hu Wenhua earned a tael of silver and breathed a sigh of relief.
Without delay, everyone rushed to the pharmacy to meet up with Ding Heli and Fan Jin's group.
Shopping for New Year's goods will also take time, so they need to return to the village early. The longer they stay away, the more worried they become about the situation in the village.
Ding Heli was checking the quantity of medicinal herbs and silver with Manager Qin.
“Sigh, Brother Ding, after I collect this batch of medicinal herbs, I will transport them to the Jinling main store. If you are capable, you should also leave. Guangning Prefecture is too chaotic to stay here.”
Ding Heli looked at Manager Qin in surprise and asked, "If they start fighting with the Prince of Yan, won't Jinling become even more chaotic and dangerous?"
"Jinling is, after all, right under the emperor's nose. Besides, the Prince of Yan has lost the people's hearts after his rebellion. How can he possibly win? Jinling is the safest city," Manager Qin said confidently.
After speaking, he looked at the street with concern and sighed softly: "Our Guangning Prefecture is located in the south. Normally, if there is a war, it wouldn't affect us much. But the bad thing is that we have experienced a flood."
Look around, who isn't living in fear? My advice, buddy, is to run.
Ding Heli cupped his hands in thanks, "Thank you for your concern, brother. However, I have a family to support and can't run away. Besides, the villagers in my village are generally good. If everyone works together, we might be able to survive in this chaotic world."
Manager Qin's eyes were full of disbelief, but he said nothing more.
In these chaotic times, everyone has a hard time. If Brother Ding could leave, why wouldn't he? He only stayed because he had no other choice.
Why should I shatter his last hope?
With refugees fleeing and war raging, Brother Ding has only one wife and one frail daughter. In this world, whether he flees to the countryside or stays in the village, he probably won't survive.
Working together with one heart and one mind? Easier said than done.
