The prey that was dying yesterday is now completely dead today. They have to sell it quickly, otherwise the price will be affected if they delay for too long.
Zhao Luochuan and Yang Donghu got up early, had a simple breakfast, loaded the prey onto a cart, called Zhao Fangchu and Zhao Fangyu, and went to town.
Zhu Cuilan had to stay at home to watch the door, for fear that Zhao He would leave and not see anyone when he came back.
At this time, the sky was not yet fully bright, and the dark night had not completely faded away. A crescent moon could still be vaguely seen in the sky.
Zhao Luochuan and Zhao Fangyu were pulling the cart in front, while Yang Donghu and Zhao Fangchu were following behind to prevent the smaller ones from falling off the cart.
It was late autumn and the frost and dew were heavy. Before they had walked far, several people were already covered in dew.
Yang Donghu's eyes were always on Zhao Luochuan. It took a lot of effort to pull hundreds of kilograms of goods on a cart.
His clothes were soaked with sweat or dew, sticking to his body, outlining his broad shoulders and tight waistline.
Thinking of the hot body under the quilt last night, Yang Donghu felt dry in the mouth.
The suppressed moan still echoed in my ears, and the faint smell of male hormones seemed to linger at the tip of my nose.
Although there has been no substantial progress in the relationship between the two, the atmosphere between them seems to have changed.
Yang Donghu's irritable thoughts were swept away, and he felt a little more secretly happy in his heart.
We set out early, but didn't walk fast along the way. When we arrived in the town, it was already crowded with people.
Zhao Luochuan took them to a restaurant that often sold game. The owner of the restaurant had known him for a long time and knew that the game he sent was all good stuff. He took a quick look at the quality of the game and paid for it readily.
Although the rabbits and pheasants were small in size, they were fat and plentiful, and felt heavy when weighed. The shopkeeper gave them ten taels in total.
Both deer were underage male deer. They were not big in size, but each weighed more than 100 kilograms. The boss added a few dozen cents to the market price and finally calculated the price at 30 kilograms for each deer.
The antlers on the stag's head can be used to make wine. Zhao Luochuan didn't ask for more money and just gave it to the shopkeeper.
When doing business, you always have to make a small profit to get a return. The owner of Meishanlou pays money generously and does not bargain for prices. There are few such non-meddling shops in the town, so it doesn't hurt to let him make a little more money.
The restaurant only provides a place for customers to eat, drink and have fun. Foxes and wolves are valuable only for their fur, and their meat is hard to sell, so the boss doesn't want it. Zhao Luochuan plans to find a place to see if he can meet a destined customer.
The four men parked the cart west of the Meishanlou gate, lifted the mat covering the wolf and the fox, and waited for passers-by to come and see.
Such prey is eye-catching and eye-catching, and people will come to ask the price without too much shouting.
Not long after, a man who looked like a young man in gorgeous clothes stopped.
His eyes moved between Yang Donghu and Zhao Fangchu, and when they stopped on their faces, there was a hint of ill intent in them.
The bruise on Yang Donghu's forehead had diminished considerably after applying safflower oil, and it was no longer noticeable. He was already handsome and fair, and with the recent growth in his face, he looked even more delicate and pretty.
Zhao Fangchu was innocent and naive, and looked like she knew nothing about the world, which made Li Shangcai look at her a few more times. He loved such young and ignorant girls and boys, and he could always coax them into submission.
"What do you want to see? A fox or a wolf? Don't worry, there are no external injuries and the fur is intact." Zhao Luochuan blocked his view and asked in a deep voice.
The person in front of him was Li Shangcai, a relative of Mr. Zhang, a famous wealthy businessman in the town.
Mr. Zhang's first wife died when he was young, leaving behind a young son and a daughter. Li Shangcai's sister married Mr. Zhang as his second wife.
The brother and sister were originally children of a farming family. Their parents were honest farmers.
Li Shangcai, relying on his sister's influence, thought that once he got to the top of the social ladder, he would be able to be like those rich young men. All day long, he would either invite this person to write poems or invite that person to have tea.
This person is uneducated and loves to pretend to be cultured. He writes some cheesy and nonsense poems all day long. He often hangs out in brothels and acts like a dandy.
Zhao Luochuan often came to the town and knew everything about him. He was very disgusted with his actions and spoke to him in a cold attitude.
Li Shangcai was very dissatisfied with his vision being blocked. Just when he was about to explode, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhao Luochuan and Zhao Fangyu, with their bulging muscles, staring at him expressionlessly, and swallowed the words in his mouth.
He pretended to look through the prey and found fault, saying, "This prey is average quality. Look at this wolf, its fur is too mixed, and this fox, it doesn't look shiny at all."
As he spoke, he flung open the folding fan in his hand and fanned it pretentiously, saying with arrogance, "It's not as good as the wolf skin I got a few days ago. It's an authentic gray wolf skin. One piece is worth a hundred taels. It's very expensive."
Yang Donghu felt that this person was probably a psychopath. It was really funny to see him waving a broken fan in such a cold weather.
However, he was now a young man, so he couldn't say anything. He just pulled Zhao Fangchu and hid behind two tall men, laughing secretly.
Zhao Luochuan hummed indifferently, not taking his words to heart, and said, "Since you think our goods are not good and not worthy of your worth, please look somewhere else and don't block the people behind you."
These words made Li Shangcai feel insulted, and his face immediately turned bad.
Although he was a man of humble appearance, he was generous and lavish. Whether it was to gain a connection with Mr. Zhang behind him or to spend his days with him in luxury, there were always people who were willing to flatter him.
He had already lost his eyesight due to the extravagant life he had led in recent years, and it had been a long time since anyone had been so ruthless to him.
"Hunters are hunters, and the people in the village are short-sighted. This young master is too lazy to bother with you. I don't want this kind of junk even if it's given to me for free." Li Shangcai said this harshly and was about to leave. He wanted to take a few more glances at the handsome boy, but Zhao Fangyu glared at him and he left quickly.
Zhao Luochuan looked at Yang Donghu who was hiding behind him, and thought of what happened yesterday. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "This person is not a good person. If you see him in the future, remember to stay away from him."
"Um."
Yang Donghu wanted to say something more, but someone happened to come over and ask the price, so he had to give up.
It was cold and the fur was easy to sell, so it was finally bought by an older man who looked like a housekeeper. Wolf tendons are nutritious, so the fur and the wolf tendons were sold for fifteen taels. The two foxes were sold for five taels each, and the total was sold for five taels.
This was the last income before the New Year, a total of sixty taels. If I relied solely on farming, I would probably not be able to earn this much money in three to five years.
Having money makes you feel at ease, and more people smile.
Although it was noon, Zhu Cuilan reminded them before they left to prepare delicious food for lunch and to go back after selling it, so they did not eat in town.
A few people walked around for a while, bought some small things, and pushed the cart back with a creaking sound.
