Chapter 45: Selling a tiger at a high price is not an easy task
The man also took a good look at Wan Pozi at this time, and suddenly showed a look of surprise, "Oh, aren't you Sister Cuicui?" ”
"Emerald ...... Cui...... Sister? ”
Fu Xiaojiu listened to it next to him, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Wan Po's daughter's name is Feng Cuicui, and no one has called her name for many years.
Wan Pozi blinked, and suddenly reacted, and said happily: "You are a loyal brother?" You're much taller and stronger than you used to be. I haven't seen you in the past few times I've been to my uncle's house, and we haven't seen each other in years. The last time I went to your house, I ate the pheasant you brought back! ”
Feng Zhongjun is the son of Feng Zhen, the uncle of Mrs. Wan.
Although Feng Zhen is a son-in-law, his son still follows his surname.
This Feng Zhongjun is more than ten years younger than Wan Pozi, thirty-one and twelve years old, he is a simple and honest person, but his temperament is a little stronger, and he can't do the patience and boring work of squatting on the ground and digging herbs.
When he was a child, he loved to hunt with Orion and learned the art of hunting.
And he is still a person who can endure hardships, and his physique is better than that of ordinary people, and he has learned a set of fist and foot kung fu, and he is an outstanding hunter.
However, as soon as he went out hunting, he had to live in the mountains for ten and a half days and a month, and Wan Pozi had to go to Feng Zhen's house few times, and he almost never caught up with Feng Zhongjun when he was at home.
When Wan Lin got married, Feng Zhongjun was hunting in the mountains and didn't come back in time, so time flickered, and the two of them never saw him again after seeing him as an adult except for the year when Feng Zhongjun got married.
Feng Zhongjun has become more and more dark and strong in recent years, and his face is much more resolute than before, if Wan Pozi doesn't look carefully, he really won't recognize him.
Feng Zhongjun smiled a little embarrassedly, "Hehehe, I have been hunting in the mountains all year round, and I have become like this when I am exposed to the wind and sun." ”
Wan Pozi said with emotion: "We are really a family, what kind of induction do you have, when our mother and mother were about to lose their lives, you appeared in time!" If it weren't for you, we'd probably be in the belly of that big worm! ”
Feng Zhongjun said a little embarrassed: "Speaking of which, I'm really ashamed, when the third child of your family got married, I was still in the mountains and didn't come back, I thought I had time to go to your house to see your family, but I turned out to be greedy, and I couldn't stop as soon as I caught up with the prey." I've been following this big worm for five days and five nights, and today I had the opportunity to do it, but I lost it again. ”
Speaking of this, Feng Zhongjun looked at Fu Xiaojiu and asked, "Isn't this lady the daughter-in-law of the third child?" ”
Wan Pozi nodded, "Yes, she is the daughter-in-law of the third child, Xiao Jiu." Xiao Jiu, this is your little uncle Zhongjun, the son of your uncle. ”
Fu Xiaojiu had already heard Feng Zhongjun's identity on the side just now, but he still felt very incredible, "He is the son of his uncle?" That's a coincidence, isn't it? ”
And Fu Xiaojiu couldn't have imagined that Feng Zhen and the Wang family could have such a brave son!
"Benefactor! O benefactor! ”
Feng Zhongjun didn't give Fu Xiaojiu time to react, and suddenly knelt down on one knee and thanked Fu Xiaojiu.
"What are you doing here? Hurry up! ”
Fu Xiaojiu hurried to help him, and Wan Pozi also stretched out her hand.
But how strong Feng Zhongjun is, his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can't help him.
Feng Zhongjun looked at Fu Xiaojiu gratefully, and said in an excited tone: "I went home a few days ago, and my father and daughter-in-law told me about you going to my house to buy medicinal herbs. I also said that the third daughter-in-law of my sister Cuicui's family was the reincarnation of Jixing, and she learned excellent medical skills from the gods in her dream, not only cured the third child, but also healed the second daughter-in-law and my brother-in-law in time.
At first, I didn't believe it, until they told me that when you came to my house, you treated both my mother and licorice and prescribed them medicine. My mother's stomach has stopped distending since she took the medicine you prescribed, and Licorice also drank the medicine you prescribed, and he said that his eyes don't hurt so much, and he is not as troublesome as before. ”
After listening to the feedback on Wang's and licorice's conditions, Fu Xiaojiu felt very relieved, it seemed that her diagnosis was not wrong, and their conditions were developing on a positive note.
Wan Pozi's heart is also very open, and she believes in Fu Xiaojiu's medical skills even more.
Fu Xiaojiu saw that Feng Zhongjun was a person who really knew how to be grateful, and hurriedly said: "I treated my uncle and brother just by raising my hands, and besides, I didn't work in vain, my mother and I ate the pheasant you brought back, and my uncle also undercounted the medicine money for us, and brought us a bag of dried mushrooms!" ”
Wan Pozi also hurriedly said: "Zhongjun, get up quickly, if you are like this, it will be too outward." ”
Feng Zhongjun finished expressing his gratitude to Fu Xiaojiu and stood up.
He guessed from the equipment of Fu Xiaojiu and Wan Pozi: "What are you two doing here?" Do you still want to go to my house to buy medicinal herbs? ”
Wan Pozi said happily: "Yes! My family's Xiaojiu has superb medical skills, and there are many people who come to her for treatment, and the medicinal materials I bought last time are about to bottom out. ”
Feng Zhongjun showed a look of embarrassment, "But I don't have many medicinal materials at home now. ”
"Huh?" Wan Pozi was stunned.
Feng Zhongjun continued: "After you bought my family's medicinal materials that time, a pharmacist came the next day and bought all the remaining medicinal materials from my family. But it's strange to say, he just wrapped up all the medicinal materials in my family, bought them and left. He didn't even look at other people's medicinal herbs. People in our village said that my family was lucky, and the medicine merchant might have been lazy, so he came to the family, and our family fell into his eyes. ”
"And this kind of good thing?" Wan Pozi also felt that the Feng family was quite lucky.
Wan Pozi seized the opportunity to promote Fu Xiaojiu again, and said proudly: "I'll just say that my Xiaojiu is the reincarnation of Jixing!" She can go wherever she goes. Since she married into my family, not only the people in my family, but even my chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs have become fatter than before, and the chickens have laid more eggs! ”
Fu Xiaojiu was also happy for the Feng family, but she was more concerned about the matter of medicinal materials, "Then are there more medicinal materials in other people's families?" Is it enough to fill these baskets for the two of us? ”
Feng Zhongjun said with a smile: "There are still a lot of medicinal materials in other people's homes, I'm afraid you can't fit these baskets!" ”
"That's good!" Fu Xiaojiu is finally down-to-earth.
However, Fu Xiaojiu's gaze immediately fell on the white-fronted insect.
This is a real wild tiger, from the skin to the bones, the tiger is full of treasures.
Fu Xiaojiu calculated how valuable such a big tiger should be, and what a precious medicinal herb its tiger bone should be!
"Uncle, what are you going to do with this tiger?" Fu Xiaojiu suddenly asked.
Feng Zhongjun has been hunting for so many years, and it is not the first time he has hunted a tiger.
He had hunted a tiger five years earlier, but that time the tiger was not as fat as this time, and it was only with three hunters that he shot the tiger to death.
At that time, the four people carried the tiger to the town to sell it, and they were directly taken away by the owner of the restaurant.
The price offered by the restaurant owner was not high, Feng Zhongjun wanted to pull the tiger to the county seat to sell, but it was July, the weather was too hot, the tiger's carcass could not be saved, and the other three hunters were still in a hurry to use the money, so the tiger was not sold at a high price.
And when the four of them had divided it equally, each of them received fifty taels of silver.
Although fifty taels of silver is enough for these ordinary peasant hunters to cover the needs of the whole family for several years, if there are scholars in the family, this silver is not a lot of money.
Feng Zhongjun wanted to send licorice to study in the school, and he didn't want his son to stay in the mountains and suffer, so fifty taels of silver was just the money for licorice to study before he took the Xiucai exam.
Feng Zhongjun remembered the tiger before, and then looked at the big tiger in front of him who was shot by him alone, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Feng Zhongjun thought for a while and said, "When I hunted tigers before, I sold them to restaurants. If you don't bother me here, I'll get the tiger to be carried to town." By the way, it is also your credit that this tiger can be killed by me with an arrow, and I will give you some silver when you sell this tiger. ”
Fu Xiaojiu glanced at the tiger and walked towards the tiger.
Touching the smooth and thick fur of the tiger, Fu Xiaojiu felt as if he was touching a pile of heavy silver.
Fu Xiaojiu's hand was reluctant to leave the tiger, raised his head and said to Feng Zhongjun: "I'll help you sell this tiger." I'll sell it for you a good price, but I don't want anything, I just want a tiger bone and a tiger whip. ”
Wan Pozi immediately pondered: tiger skin, tiger bones and tiger whips are the most valuable things on the tiger, how high does this tiger have to be sold for how much can Fu Xiaojiu get the tiger bones and tiger whip with peace of mind?
Feng Zhongjun also made a rough calculation, and he didn't know what the high price was that Fu Xiaojiu said.
"Niece and daughter-in-law, do you still know how to sell tigers?" Although Feng Zhongjun is convinced of Fu Xiaojiu's medical skills, there is still a difference between practicing medicine and doing business, and it is still difficult for Fu Xiaojiu, a country girl who has never seen much of the world, to talk about business.
Fu Xiaojiu smiled slightly, exuding an inexplicable confidence from the inside out.
"It is rare for a tiger to be shot in the head by an arrow, and this tiger is so big and has bright fur, if it is pulled to the county seat, it can definitely be sold for a good price. It is not difficult to transport it to the county seat, but the difficult thing is how to sell it for maximum value. ”
Fu Xiaojiu's tone was indifferent and calm, and he didn't look like an uninformed village girl at all.
Seeing that Fu Xiaojiu could think of pulling the tiger to the county seat, Feng Zhongjun was a little impressed by Fu Xiaojiu, but everyone wanted to sell the tiger at the highest price, but this thing was easy to say, but it was difficult to do.
They are all countrymen, but they are stupid, and if they quarrel with each other, they may still win, but if they buy and sell, few people will do it.
"Fortunately, the weather is still cool now, and it is nothing to transport this tiger to the county seat. That's it, little uncle, you watch here by yourself first, I went with my mother-in-law to buy the medicine, and I also plan to go to the county seat, and when we buy the medicine back, we will go to the county seat together! ”
Feng Zhongjun had already seen that Fu Xiaojiu was a shrewd person, and he was definitely not an ordinary village woman, so he simply gambled on it.
"Oh well. I'm waiting for you right here. By the way, you want my father and mother to help you hold the basket, or you two are afraid that you two will not be able to hold these medicinal materials. ”
"Well, then you're waiting for us here." Fu Xiaojiu didn't ink either, just raised his legs and left.
Wan Pozi also followed closely behind her, and asked worriedly: "Xiao Jiu, are you really sure to sell this tiger for a high price?" What are your plans? ”
Fu Xiaojiu glanced at Wan Pozi a little mysteriously, "Mother, it's not me who sells it to you, this will have to wait until we get to the county seat." ”
