Chapter 16: Let's go to the woods
The owner of the meat stall is helping the guests cut meat, and although the guests are afraid of Zhang Xiaochi, this is the territory of the meat stall owner, the entire Qingwa Town, as far as the current point of view, no one dares to make trouble on the territory of the meat stall owner, so the people who came to buy meat did not leave.
The owner of the meat stall is surnamed Wu and his name is Wu Xiong.
"I'm done."
"If you want to buy meat, just queue up, if you don't buy it, stay aside, don't hinder Lao Tzu's business."
At this time, Wu Xiong had already helped a guest dispose of the meat, taking advantage of this gap, he glanced up at Zhang Xiaochi, and then was immediately attracted by Lin Xiaoxi on the side.
Wu Xiong couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiaoxi a few more times, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Boy, I haven't seen you for two days, and I actually married such a beautiful daughter-in-law!"
"Daughter-in-law, her name is Angkor."
Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, reminded Lin Xiaoxi to say hello, and when she finished saying hello, he asked her to stand behind her.
"Angkor, do you accept these things here?"
Zhang Xiaochi took Lin Xiaoxi to the side, and it didn't affect other people to buy meat, so Wu Xiong didn't have too many opinions on this.
"Yes, of course."
Wu Xiong asked his subordinates to help cut the meat, came to Zhang Xiaochi's side, squatted down and checked it, then nodded decisively and asked.
"How much are you going to sell?"
"I don't know much about the price, Angkor looked at the bid."
Zhang Xiaochi said with a smile.
"Before you came to me, you must have gone to the Yingbin Building, are you not satisfied with the price given by the Yingbin Building, so you came to me?"
"Angkor has a good eye, and he can't hide anything from you."
Zhang Xiaochi nodded.
"Although I don't know how much Yingbin Lou gives, I can give you five taels of silver."
"Okay, that's the price."
Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, although Wu Xiong has a group of younger brothers under his hands and is doing the monopoly business in Qingwa Town, he has an advantage, that is, he never bullies the weak, just like this time, he did not take the opportunity to lower the price, and the price given is not much different from that given by the Niu shopkeeper of Yingbin Building.
After all, in the eyes of everyone in Qingwa Town, Zhang Xiaochi is just a little skimmer who steals chickens and dogs, and the last time he went here to buy meat, it was because of his bad reputation that he was directly scolded by Wu Xiong.
The two sides paid on delivery, Zhang Xiaochi handed over the silver to Lin Xiaoxi, turned around and planned to say goodbye to Wu Xiong, and found that the game he had just delivered was sold by Wu Xiong for seven taels of silver.
It was only a long time before he made a net profit of two taels of silver.
The corners of Zhang Xiaochi's mouth twitched, that is, he has a bad reputation, and everyone doesn't believe him, otherwise, there is no need to envy others here and make two taels of silver.
"Boy, if you have game in the future, you can sell it here, and I will take it all!"
"Thank you Angkor."
Zhang Xiaochi nodded politely, grabbed Lin Xiaoxi's little hand and turned around to leave.
"Big brother, after this kid married his daughter-in-law, he seems to have changed a lot!?"
Next to Wu Xiong, a man who looked a little similar to him, he was Wu Xiong's younger brother Wu Wei, Wu Wei looked at the direction where Zhang Xiaochi left and said.
"It's changed a lot, really."
"However, this kid is not shallow, he actually found such a beautiful daughter-in-law!"
"If only I had such a beautiful daughter-in-law."
Wu Xiong turned his head to look at Wu Wei and said solemnly.
"Xiaowei, don't try to beat her up."
"Big brother, I see."
Wu Wei was trembling, he didn't dare to look at Wu Xiong at all, and quickly nodded and answered.
On the way back to the village, Lin Xiaoxi was in a very good mood, holding Zhang Xiaochi's hand and bouncing, happy like a carefree child.
"Five taels of silver a day, if only I could earn so much every day!"
Zhang Xiaochi smiled, although people in this era got married early, Lin Xiaoxi was young after all, and his personality still had childlike innocence.
"If this is the case, our family will become rich."
Zhang Xiaochi is very cooperative and imagines the future.
"Husband, do you see if the person carrying the hare in front of you is the second aunt?"
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxi suddenly reminded softly.
Zhang Xiaochi followed the sound and looked over, a hundred meters away, the second aunt was holding two tied hares in her hands, followed by Zhang Fenghe, and the two were walking towards each other.
"It's indeed the second aunt."
The two hurriedly greeted them, and when the two sides approached, the second aunt saw Zhang Xiaochi and the two, and her face was immediately full of smiles.
"Second aunt, are you selling the hare?"
Zhang Xiaochi asked.
"Yes, the hare was caught by me and Fenghe."
The second aunt replied very happily.
"Caught?"
"How did you get it?"
Zhang Xiaochi wondered in his heart, the hare is very flexible in the wild, Zhang Fenghe is just a child, and the second aunt is also a woman, to put it mildly, the probability of catching a hare is very low.
"After you and Xiaoxi went to the town, everyone went to the back mountain to hunt, and Feng He and I also went to join in the fun, but I didn't expect that not long after arriving in the back mountain, two hares hit my feet one after the other, so we caught them."
"However, we only caught two hares, and we were afraid that the hares would be worthless if they died, so we came to the town in advance to sell them."
"Second aunt, listen to what you mean, are there a lot of small animals in the back mountain?"
"There are a lot, but there is only one wave, and there is no more after that."
Zhang Xiaochi was silent, he mobilized the knowledge in his mind, these small animals ran out like this, which was obviously unreasonable, either there were fierce beasts in the back mountains foraging, or there was an earthquake.
Compared with the earthquake, Zhang Xiaochi tends to the former, after all, on the eve of the earthquake, the animals will predict in advance, Qingwa Town is not far from Wagang Village, if there is really an earthquake, there will definitely be a lot of rats on the streets of Qingwa Town, but the situation in Qingwa Town is very normal, so it should be a fierce beast foraging to scare those small animals to the outer areas.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochi looked at the second aunt with a serious face.
"Second aunt, after these two rabbits are sold, don't go to the back mountain for the time being."
"Why?"
The second aunt asked incomprehensibly, and even, there was a trace of dissatisfaction on her face.
Seeing the appearance of the second aunt, Zhang Xiaochi knew that she had misunderstood, and quickly explained.
"Second aunt, I'm not afraid that you will rob the prey, but that these small animals are not reacting normally."
"Why?"
"I guess it's because there are fierce beasts in the mountains foraging for food, so these small animals are frightened and flee to the outer areas."
The second aunt nodded suspiciously, and a smile reappeared on her face, and said.
"Xiaochi Xiaoxi, you go back first, I'll go to town with Fenghe."
"Goodbye, big brother."
"Goodbye."
Looking at the back of the two aunts leaving, Zhang Xiaochi shook his head helplessly, the second aunt was like this, obviously not believing his words.
"Husband, is there really a beast in the back mountain?"
Lin Xiaoxi looked up at Zhang Xiaochi and asked seriously.
"I think there is."
Zhang Xiaochi replied seriously.
