"Okay, just listen to your brother and don't run around." The happy grandfather was easy to talk to and agreed immediately.
After receiving the imperial edict, Gu Xinran happily made two large bowls of porridge and a white flour bun left over from last night.
The eldest brother who borrowed the ox cart came back with Zhang Kang, the youngest son of Zhang the Hunter.
"Hello, Grandpa Gu! We trapped a deer yesterday afternoon and were just about to go to the county town to sell it to Xiangyuanlou. Large game animals are more profitable there. If we take your wild boar there, we'll get at least two hundred more coins than in town. It'll take an extra hour to get there, but it's more cost-effective."
