When they arrived in town, the two decided to act separately.
Chen Wang took the skins to the purchasing station to sell, while Chen Dazhuang went to the market to sell the meat.
So, the two of them found a place with few people and divided the things in the sack.
Chen Wang stacked several pieces of leather and wrapped the outside with the largest leather.
"Then I'm leaving. See you later."
Chen Dazhuang put the sack of meat back on his shoulder and said something to Chen Wang.
"I'll come find you after I sell the leather."
"Well, let's go!"
After temporarily separating, Chen Wang quickly came to the purchasing station.
I'm still looking for that acquaintance, Xu Meijuan.
Seeing that the lynx was thick-skinned, Xu Meijuan took him to the backyard without saying a word to meet Master Wang.
"What good stuff! How did you get so many good leathers?"
Master Wang touched several pieces of leather in turn and looked at him with shock on his face.
"I hunted them in the mountains. How else can I get them?"
"You are so lucky, aren't you?"
"It's OK!"
Chen Wang smiled and shrugged.
Master Wang rolled his eyes and then started quoting a price.
"This lynx skin is a rare commodity. I can give you 1,600. The two suede skins are second, so I'll give you 150 together. The roe deer skin is 40, and the civet cat skin is 8."
"make a deal!"
Chen Wang nodded without much hesitation and smiled.
"You are really straightforward."
Master Wang raised his hand, nodded, then turned and went into the house.
After a while, he came out with two bundles of big ties.
"The total is 1798. I'll make it an even number for you, 1800!"
"Thank you!"
"Thank you for having a few cups of tea with me and chatting."
Master Wang counted out 20 Great Unity notes from one of the bundles and threw the remaining money to him.
Chen Wang took the money and put it in his pocket, then nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll drink two cups of tea with you, but it's a waste to give such good tea to a rough man like me."
"Don't say these nonsense."
Master Wang waved his hand, sat down opposite him, brewed a cup of tea and pushed it to him.
Chen Wang hurriedly took it with both hands.
"You and your partner are really amazing to be able to defeat a ferocious beast like a lynx!"
Master Wang joked with a smile.
"It was also good luck. I almost lost my life."
"That's normal. That's why the lynx skin is expensive. First, it's becoming increasingly rare. Second, it's very difficult to catch and the risk is high."
"Yes, the key is that our hounds are still young, otherwise they would be much safer."
"hound?"
Master Wang was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "You didn't bring your dog into the mountain?"
"Yeah, we did get two good dogs, but they are both puppies, so we need more time to catch them."
Chen Wang answered with a helpless expression.
"Then it doesn't make sense that you were able to kill so many prey!"
Master Wang looked at him with a puzzled look.
"I have a little monkey named Jixiang. He is very good at finding prey. He helped me find the bear before."
Chen Wang explained with a smile.
"monkey?"
"Yes, I met him in the mountains that day..."
Chen Wang recounted the process of how he met Jixiang and how he subdued it.
Master Wang was drinking tea from his cup, listening with great interest. He exclaimed in amazement, "This is really interesting. This is the first time I've heard of a monkey recognizing its master and helping a hunter find something to hunt."
"Jixiang is very smart and listens to me very much."
"Next time you have a chance, bring it to me."
"Sure, no problem."
Chen Wang nodded readily and agreed.
"I can help you with the hound problem you mentioned."
Master Wang had a mysterious smile on his face.
"Really? Master Wang, I'll leave it to you."
Chen Wang's face lit up with joy and he sat up straight subconsciously.
"A few days ago, an old hunter came to the store to sell goods and killed a black bear. However, he and his dog team also suffered great losses. Not only did he lose an arm, but two of his dogs also died."
"Plus, he is old and his arm is his dominant hand, so he won't be able to hunt anymore. No one in his family wants to learn hunting, so he wants to sell a few dogs."
"Of course, the old man loves dogs too. He would be reluctant to let ordinary people buy them. He is only willing to sell several dogs together. It would be best if a good hunter is willing to take over."
Master Wang briefly explained the situation.
Chen Wang became more and more excited as he listened, and hurriedly asked: "Master Wang, do you know where his home is? I will go find him now."
"I don't know exactly where he is, but I know the old man's surname is Ma, and he is from Bailu Village."
"Bai Lu Village? It's not far from our village!"
Chen Wang said with some excitement.
"Then you can go and have a look. Just ask for the hunter named Ma. The villagers can easily find him."
"Okay, I'll go there in a minute."
"That old man is quite pitiful. It seems that none of his children are around. If you talk to him nicely, he should be willing to give you the dog."
"Understood. I'll go buy some stuff later. I'll try not to bargain. We are really in need of good hunting dogs right now."
"Then I wish you success."
Master Wang picked up the teacup and said.
"Thank you, that's been a great help."
Chen Wang also picked up his teacup and clinked it with his.
He chatted with the old man about other topics until he finished the pot of tea. Only then did Chen Wang stand up and say goodbye.
Master Wang didn't keep him any longer, but just told him to bring Jixiang to see him next time he came.
…
…
After leaving the purchasing station, Chen Wang quickly came to the market.
