Chapter 104 First the petty man, then the gentleman



No matter how many bison there are, they can't stop a large number of people.

Before nightfall, they had already brought out three bison.

Another all-nighter has passed, and all the bison have been cleaned up.

Even the wild boars were dealt with.

Then everyone started moving to Yuan Shitou's house.

Yuan's mother and Fan's mother had already cooked everyone's meal.

And let me tell you, everyone was already starving.

I was so busy last night that I forgot to eat. How could I not be hungry?

After wolfing down their food, everyone went back to work.

This task kept them busy for about ten days.

Such a big thing must have been heard about in the village.

He then went to find the village chief.

The village chief retorted without holding back.

"Why should we give you food when they risked their lives to fight for it?"

"If you're so capable, go into the mountains and hunt them yourself. Nobody's stopping you."

One woman, however, paid no attention to any of this and shouted:

"They brought back such a big cow, why don't they share some with us?"

We're all from the same village, not outsiders, is it necessary to be so formal?

Those who came with him nodded in agreement, indicating that this made sense.

The village chief scoffed, "You make it sound so easy."

They only had one cow and they were giving it to you.

This village has more than 200 households.

If each family gets a share, what will the other family have left?

All that's left is the cow's tail.

If it were you, would you be willing?

It's easy for someone standing there to talk the talk, but they don't understand the situation.

Why should someone else be willing to do something you yourself are unwilling to do?

The village chief gave them a merciless beating, and they had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

Look at that face! The village chief thinks Yun Xiaoshuo is absolutely right.

If she weren't just a little girl.

He even considered passing the village chief position to her.

The village chief's wife didn't have much interaction with Yun Xiaoxiao originally.

I don't know her very well.

After spending these days together, she really liked this girl.

They are decisive in their speech and actions, very capable, and bold.

She had heard her three sons praise her more than once.

They also talked about what happened on the mountain.

They said they would all follow her instructions on how to chase the bison herd.

And they returned completely unharmed.

In the past, they would also go up the mountain together in large groups.

They would surround and intercept any prey they saw, fearing that someone else would snatch it away.

She was still lamenting, thinking how wonderful it would be if she were her daughter-in-law.

No wonder everyone says the Yuan family treats this daughter-in-law they bought as a treasure.

We almost didn't put it on a pedestal.

How can we not enshrine it?

If it were her, she would also treat it with reverence.

Look at that little puppy, Egg, how attached he is to her!

If a child is this clingy, it must be because you treat them well; that's why they're so attached to you!

If you treat him badly, he'll stay far away from you.

After the dried meat was made, a large group of people carried it down the mountain in a grand procession.

The village chief went along too.

As usual, I went to Uncle Lin's shop.

Uncle Lin grinned from ear to ear when he saw so much jerky.

These dried meats are excellent; they are top-quality in terms of both taste and color.

But many people are still asking him about it.

This time, all the meat carried down the mountain is wild boar meat, and we haven't finished carrying it all yet.

Yun Xiaoxiao was a little scared that Uncle Lin couldn't eat the several thousand kilograms of dried beef.

Uncle Lin smiled and said, "Little girl, don't worry."

I can actually afford that amount of money.

But you'll have to wait a while.

Let me tell you first.

The jerky was better today than last time, and I sold it better.

So I'll give you five yuan a pound, how does that sound?

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating that she had no objection.

Uncle Lin asked his young apprentice to help entertain them, and then quickly left.

The village chief had been watching this area and saw Uncle Lin leave.

She quickly came over and asked, "Xiaoxiao, is this person reliable?"

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, Uncle Lin is a very reliable person."

We always sell our goods to him, and there has never been a problem.

The village chief nodded, somewhat worried: "How is he going to sell so much dried meat? I hope it doesn't just sit there unsold."

The young apprentice who came to refill their water heard him say this and laughed:

"Uncle, don't worry."

Many people are asking about this dried meat; it's sure to sell well.

The village chief said, "That's good, that's good."

But I'm still very worried.

I'm worried about whether I'll actually get the money.

This isn't a few dozen or a few hundred, but tens of thousands.

What kind of person can come up with tens of thousands of yuan at once?

It seems this Uncle Lin is no ordinary person.

Maybe he has a big boss behind him.

The group didn't have to wait long before Uncle Lin said goodbye.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and laughed, "Have you been waiting long?"

Yun Xiaoxiao quickly handed him a glass of water: "No rush, Uncle Lin, take your time, we'll wait a little longer."

Look at you, you're all sweaty, go drink some water.

Uncle Lin filled a water bottle and turned it upside down.

He ran back just now.

Afraid of keeping others waiting, he hurriedly ran back, for he was indeed thirsty.

After drinking the water, he quickly took out the money and put it on the table.

"Girl, you count."

Yun Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "No need to count, I still trust Uncle Lin's character."

Uncle Lin didn't think so: "Girl, we may be close, but you still need to be careful with your money."

There are so many of you, and you still want to take it back and divide it up.

What if it's not enough? Wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?

Under his repeated insistence, Yun Xiaoxiao nodded and said:

"Okay, let's count them then."

Uncle Lin, please don't take offense.

Uncle Lin shook his head: "How can you be surprised by this?"

That's how you do business: be a little timid first, then a little honest later, to avoid trouble later.

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded: "Understood, Uncle Lin."

So he took a wad of cash and quickly counted it.

Everyone was absolutely stunned by her technique.

Uncle Lin was also secretly surprised; this little girl's technique was clearly that of a skilled person.

After counting the money, Yun Xiaoxiao nodded: "Not too much, not too little, just enough."

Uncle Lin then smiled and said, "The little girl is quite skilled at counting money."

Xiao Xiao smiled shyly: "Don't be afraid of Uncle Lin laughing at me."

I take the money out of the house every day and count it back and forth.

So I practiced and mastered it.

How was it? Was it fast or not?

Uncle Lin laughed and scolded, "You little money-grubber."

Xiao Xiao didn't pocket the money; instead, she distributed it all in front of everyone.

Where have you ever seen so much money before?

They were so excited their hands were trembling.

Even Fan Tiesheng was very excited.

Yuan Shitou took the money, admired it for a while, and then handed it to Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Xiao took it and put it in her arms.

Yuan Min quickly gave the money to Fan Tiesheng.

"Brother Tiesheng, keep this for now, give it to me when you get back."

Fan Tiesheng nodded.

Amu and the others handed the money to the village chief, who smiled and said:

"This is what you earned, so keep it all."

When the brothers heard their father say that, they happily stuffed the money into their pockets.

After putting the money away, Yun Xiaoxiao asked, "Uncle Lin, do you still need this kind of dried meat?"

Uncle Lin's eyes lit up: "You have more?"

Yun Xiaoxiao nodded.
