Chapter 56 The price has increased
Gu Lianshan didn't know what was going on. While the five of them were checking the deer to see if it was injured, he came up to Gu Tang and asked her quietly, "Is there anyone else outside? Why are there no signs of Dad's brothers from Xiaohewan?"
Gu Tang exploded instantly, raised her head and glanced at her father: "You treat him as a brother, but he doesn't treat you as a brother! You should wash your eyes with water. If you treat that thing in human skin as a brother, I think this family will soon be ruined!"
After being scolded for no apparent reason, Gu Lianshan was completely confused and didn't understand what was going on.
Gu Tang said this without any reservation. The five soldiers who were checking the deer nearby immediately quieted down, looked at each other for a while, and quickly changed the subject, saying that they wanted the deer.
Upon hearing this, Gu Tang's expression changed immediately, and she smiled at them, looking past her father: "Okay! Then you guys name a price. If the price is right, we'll pay and get the goods."
They said the price?
The soldiers were stunned for a moment. They thought that the person selling the deer should be the one to name the price. How could they be asked to name the price?
Seeing that they were hesitant to name a price, Gu Tang opened his mouth to cheat the man surnamed He: "The man outside said yesterday that you are willing to pay 350 taels. This is also the first time for my family to sell a deer, and I don't know if this price is appropriate. I thought I would just let you make an offer. If we think it is appropriate, then this deal will be done!"
Three hundred and fifty taels? !
Gu Lianshan stared at his daughter with eyes wide open, unable to speak.
He clearly said three hundred taels yesterday, where did the extra fifty taels come from?
The three hundred and fifty taels that shocked Gu Lianshan were acceptable to the five soldiers.
This time, each of them brought one hundred taels of silver, which added up to five hundred taels.
When they received the news, the group of soldiers outside boasted about this deer as being the best in the world, saying it was a rare and good deer that was extremely rare!
They also heard this and were afraid that the master would ask for too much money and they would not have enough money.
Therefore, each person brought one hundred taels of silver.
Now that I saw the deer, it was really just as the cook boasted, there was no one like it in the world and I had never seen a deer like it before.
The rarer it is, the more valuable it is; the rarer it is, the more precious it is.
Selling this deer for three hundred and fifty taels of silver is definitely a good deal!
"Okay! Three hundred and fifty taels of silver is the price!"
The leading soldier made the decision and took out a purse from his pocket.
Seeing this, the other four also took out their purses and took out silver bills.
The silver bills they brought were all small-denomination ones, the largest one was fifty taels, and the smallest one was five taels.
The five of them pooled together three hundred and fifty taels of silver and handed it to Gu Lianshan who was standing behind Gu Tang.
Gu Lianshan waved his hand: "My daughter is the boss of my family, just give it to her."
The five people looked surprised, their eyes fell on Gu Tang, hesitated for a moment, and handed the silver over.
Gu Tang looked calm as usual. He took the banknote with a smile, rolled it up into a thin paper tube, and then stuffed it into the secret pocket of his sleeve.
After receiving the silver, the deer became theirs. Gu Tang made way without any reluctance and let them take the deer away.
The five soldiers didn't want to stay any longer, mainly because the man surnamed He was a bit of a jerk and offended the girl.
These clans live together and are united in purpose. If they encounter a ruthless person, they will have to stay here with their lives and wealth!
So, it’s more important to leave as soon as possible.
Gu Lianshan knew nothing about these inside stories. He only knew that the five soldiers in front of him gave him the money very happily.
Seeing his daughter accept the money, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and followed them to see them out.
Gu Tang did not go to see him off. After the people left the yard, he secretly transferred the banknotes into the system backpack and turned around to glance at the main room.
There was a noise coming from the main room. It seemed that the noise outside had woken up the two elders of the Gu family.
Not long after, the window of the east room of the main hall was pushed open.
With her hair slightly disheveled, Feng glanced into the yard and saw no one except Gu Tang.
Where did that voice outside come from?
Feng shouted at Gu Tang with an impatient look on her face: "Fourth daughter! Why was there a voice in the courtyard just now? Were you talking?"
Gu Tang was heading to the kitchen. Hearing this, he said without turning his head, "You must have tinnitus! What am I talking about alone in the yard so early in the morning? Am I talking to a ghost?"
Feng's face darkened instantly: "You stupid girl, you have no taboos! You're talking about ghosts so early in the morning! I think you will become a ghost sooner or later!"
Oh? Are you cursing her to death?
Gu Tang stopped, turned around and said, "If I become a ghost, you'd better be careful. In our family, I like living with you the most. It's noisy and fun every day.
If I become a ghost, I will first drag you down to accompany me, and we can continue to quarrel and make trouble downstairs, and continue to live happily. What do you think, is my idea feasible?"
This time, Feng not only had a black face, but she was shaking with anger, pointing at Gu Tang and unable to speak.
Gu Tang ignored her and went straight into the kitchen.
Outside the courtyard, Gu Lianshan walked them about ten feet away. They came in a donkey cart and stopped under the tung tree in front.
When he reached the tung tree, Gu Lianshan finally saw the man named He, who was sitting on the donkey cart.
Seeing him, Gu Lianshan stepped forward with a happy face: "Brother He Xing? Are you new here?"
He Xing smiled at him awkwardly: "Just arrived, just arrived..."
Gu Lianshan was so happy that he didn't notice his discomfort or realize that there was something wrong with his words.
If they had just arrived, how did the five soldiers find the Gu family? They had never been here before, so it was impossible for them to know the way.
But at this moment, Gu Lianshan's mind was filled with the three hundred and fifty taels of silver, and he couldn't think of anything else.
Patting He Xing on the shoulder, he said with gratitude: "Good brother! This time it's all thanks to you! I'll treat you to a drink at the big restaurant in Bei'an City in two days!"
Seeing that Gu Lianshan treated him as usual, He Xing's eyes flickered slightly, his smile became more relaxed, and he wanted to talk to Gu Lianshan about something else.
But as soon as he opened his mouth to say a word, the five soldiers beside him spoke first: "The deer has been tied up, hurry back! There is still work to do in the barracks, we can't delay..."
He Xing froze, and the words he wanted to say were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back and said goodbye instead: "I have something else to do right now, so I have to go back quickly. We'll meet again in two days."
"Okay, okay! Let's meet again in two days! Then we'll go to Bei'an City for a drink!"
Gu Lianshan made way, smiling so hard that his teeth were showing.
He Xing really wanted to get together with him, not for drinking, but to talk about his daughter.
But it was not convenient to say it directly in front of the soldiers, so he just nodded to Gu Lianshan and drove out of the village, planning to come back tomorrow.
Gu Lianshan stood there and watched them go. After the donkey cart had gone far away, he turned around and ran home like a dog!
Three hundred and fifty taels of silver! He had never seen such a sum in his life!
Later he will have to touch the banknotes and get some good fortune!
