Chapter 487 Splendid Countryside Seventeen
Later in the evening, Zhou Jiaojiao also came back.
She held Lin Wanwan's hand, feeling so moved.
Tears were streaming down her face. If Mrs. Zhou hadn't noticed her daughter-in-law's impatience and quickly taught her daughter a lesson, Lin Wanwan would probably have had to watch her make a fuss for a while longer.
But she also understood Zhou Jiaojiao.
After all, the family encountered a sudden change, and they went from being a hunter family that everyone in the village envied to an ordinary family.
Not to mention that we can’t eat meat every few days like before, the huge change in living standards is also very uncomfortable.
What's more, my mother-in-law is in poor health and my husband injured his foot yesterday.
Who wouldn’t be excited when the dawn suddenly shines into the gloomy world?
It was not until Old Man Zhou's return that the gloom at the scene was broken.
"Okay, big sister, let's talk when we get back."
"My dear, you and Dad should load the prey onto the donkey cart. We will leave now."
Lin Wanwan really didn't want to stay any longer. It was really unbearable to see a woman crying.
The key is the other person's tearful and heartbroken expression, which is so immersive.
After hearing this, Lin Wanwan's eyes turned red and her nose felt sore.
She came here to enjoy life, not to enjoy suffering, and didn't want to make herself feel bad.
While a few people were loading the prey onto the donkey cart, Lin Wanwan went back to her room and packed two sets of clothes.
They are going to stay in the county town tonight, so they need to prepare some clothes.
Otherwise, Lin Wanwan herself would feel disgusted if she slept in the dirty clothes that had been used to carry the corpses of prey, even if others didn't know.
After everything was packed up, everyone set off.
The little donkey "clattered" and carried everyone and a cart of things to the county town.
Old Man Zhou covered the prey with a straw mat to prevent passers-by from seeing it and having any inappropriate thoughts.
The journey was peaceful and we successfully reached the city before dark.
It took almost two hours to get from Qingshan Village to the county town.
There's just over an hour left until curfew.
At that time, no one was allowed to enter or leave the city, so they had to enter before this time.
And we have to find a place to stay before curfew.
Otherwise, if they were caught by the government, not only would they lose the entire cart of treasures, but they would also be punished.
At the very least, it is a verbal lecture, and at the worst, there is imprisonment.
No one dares to joke about this rule.
"Go directly to the largest restaurant."
After entering the city gate, Lin Wanwan said to Old Man Zhou.
"I don't know much about the county town. Where is the largest restaurant?"
Old Man Zhou doesn't come to the county town often and has hardly ever walked around it, so he doesn't know much about it.
"System, find me a reliable restaurant. I want to sell my prey."
Lin Wanwan called out in her heart, and the system quickly listed several more reliable restaurants in the county.
"Dad, just follow my instructions. I know which restaurant owner is fair."
As Lin Wanwan spoke, she began to point the way.
Whatever the system said, she would translate for Old Man Zhou.
Fortunately, we finally arrived at one of the big restaurants smoothly.
When they arrived at the front door, the second brother impatiently went forward to chase people away.
"Parking is not allowed here. Go somewhere else."
Lin Wanwan took one look and immediately spoke with a smile.
"Brother, we are here to look for Shopkeeper Xu. Last time he said that if we have prey, we can come to him."
"I got some prey today, so I brought my family here!"
Lin Wanwan lies without hesitation, but no one takes such things seriously.
Seeing that they knew the shopkeeper, the waiter didn't dare to chase them away.
But they were still asked to move to the side so as not to block the main entrance of the restaurant.
"You guys want to sell your prey? Let me take a look first."
Shopkeeper Xu came out quickly and glanced at the three of them.
Well, I don’t know him!
But it doesn’t matter whether he knows it or not, as long as there is rare prey, he will take it.
There are several restaurants in the county town. Whoever has the rarest items can make money.
He would not miss such an opportunity.
"Look, Shopkeeper Xu!"
Lin Wanwan and Zhou Yuesheng had already jumped off the donkey cart. Zhou Yuesheng didn't know why his young wife knew the owner of the big restaurant.
But seeing that there was nothing unusual about the other party, he quickly stepped forward and lifted a corner of the straw curtain.
"Wow, you guys have quite a good harvest!"
"Okay, drive the donkey cart to the backyard first, and then we can talk."
As Manager Xu spoke, he led the way. They went around in a big circle before arriving at the back door of the restaurant.
Manager Zhou asked someone to help drive the donkey cart into the yard.
It was not until all the straw curtains were lifted up that we could see everything inside.
A wild deer, this is the big head and the most valuable part.
There were also about ten hares and seven or eight pheasants.
In addition, there are three Tuaner beasts.
Tuaner beast is a small local beast. It is not big in size, but its meat is delicious and is very popular among men.
"Our restaurant accepts all of these. The prices we offer are all based on the market price, and we'll add a penny to yours."
"Look at this price, are you satisfied?"
Shopkeeper Xu really wanted to buy it, otherwise he would definitely have lowered the price.
Now he is not only willing to give the market price, but also to give an extra penny on top of the market price, which shows that he is sincere.
If it were any other family, there would probably be a stingy shopkeeper who would not only not give the market price, but would even push the price down.
After all, things are valuable because they are rare.
This huge pile of stuff seems worthless when there are too many of them.
"Boss, be kind and righteous, just do as you say!"
Lin Wanwan had already learned from the system that the shopkeeper had given a very realistic price, so she didn't bargain any further.
Soon, the prey was sorted, weighed, and the price was calculated.
Old man Zhou was holding 20 taels of silver and smiling happily.
"Everyone, next time you encounter wild game, remember to send it to our restaurant."
"If you have any objections to the price, you can also go to other places to ask. I can guarantee that the price we offer is definitely the highest in the entire county."
Shopkeeper Xu said this with full confidence.
Because that's what he did.
"Everyone knows that Shopkeeper Xu is kind and righteous. The price you offer is fair. We will deliver to you next time."
"It's getting late, so let's go back first. See you next time!"
Zhou Yuesheng smiled brightly at Shopkeeper Xu.
20 taels of silver should be able to buy a few more acres of land.
If you have land, you won’t have to worry about food.
Moreover, the grain tax collected by the county government was only 30% of the per-mu yield.
It's much more profitable than renting the land from Mr. Zhou.
Even if they had two more acres of land, their family would have much more food.
Then I won’t have to worry about having no food to eat. I can use all the money I earn with great difficulty to buy food.
There was a glimmer of hope before Zhou Yuesheng's eyes.
I wish I could immediately persuade my old father to take out the money to buy land for farming.
"Let's find an inn first. I know an inn with cheap prices and a nice owner!"
Lin Wanwan no longer sat on the donkey cart, but walked leisurely beside it.
Zhou Yuesheng followed her, and the three of them strolled to an inn.
"Sir, are you staying at the hotel?"
When the waiter saw the person coming, he immediately came out to greet him.
After getting the confirmation, he helped Old Man Zhou pull the donkey cart to the backyard.
