Chapter 22: Wise as You
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochi decided to take a deeper look, and not long after, he came to the edge of the forbidden land, and just as he was about to go in to check, there was a sudden movement in the deep mountains.
Zhang Xiaochi's nerves were tense, he bent down to pick up a stone, half of his body hid behind a big tree, and looked at the deep mountains waitingly.
"Hahaha, what a good harvest today!"
Just when Zhang Xiaochi's spirit was tense, suddenly a burst of laughter broke the atmosphere.
In front, the first person to appear in sight was the village chief of Wagang Village, who was holding three fat hares in his left hand and dragging a wild deer weighing more than 30 catties in his right hand.
Behind the village chief, followed by the other villagers, at a glance, everyone had a good harvest, and some even had more prey than the village chief.
Everyone was smiling, and the atmosphere was even more lively than the New Year.
"Village chief, did you catch this in the mountains?"
Zhang Xiaochi asked.
Zhang Xiaochi's ability has been discovered by everyone, and he still has the idea of improving relations with the villagers, so the village chief still decided to answer Zhang Xiaochi's inquiry.
"Yes, this time thanks to Ajuan's family, otherwise, where would we have such a big harvest!?"
The village chief was in a very good mood, and it was also rare to smile at Zhang Xiaochi.
"By the way, the village chief, you guys are going to take these things to the town and sell them, right?"
"Of course."
"You can take it to the pork stall in the town and sell it, and Wu Xiong will give a better price."
"Can he get a good price?"
"My prey this morning was sold for a total of ten taels of silver, and all of my prey was dead."
Zhang Xiaochi couldn't admit that he could sell it at a good price, so he said the price at which he sold it, believing that as long as people with independent thinking ability know how to do it.
"I'll think about it."
The village chief nodded slightly, and Zhang Xiaochi took the opportunity to publicize with other villagers.
Not long after, he saw the second aunt and Zhang Fenghe, the two of them also had a very rich harvest, and the combined prey was definitely more than fifty catties.
"Second aunt, you didn't find any danger inside, did you?"
Zhang Xiaochi asked.
"No, everyone knows that there is a high risk factor in the deep mountains, so we all acted together and were not separated."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochi was stunned, so many people acted together, everyone actually had such a big harvest, it seems that there are indeed a lot of prey inside.
At this time, everyone began to go down the mountain to prepare to sell prey, Zhang Xiaochi didn't want to go to the mountains alone to adventure, so he also went down the mountain.
When he returned home, Lin Xiaoxi had already hidden the silver and prepared a meal waiting for him.
"Husband, what's the situation on the mountain?"
Zhang Xiaochi did not hide it, and told everyone about going to the mountains, and also attached some of his own opinions.
"It's very dangerous in the mountains, but everyone is consumed by interests at this time, and they definitely can't be persuaded to do so."
"Husband, what are you going to do?"
"I can't help it, they know that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer tigers, and they are all adults, so they should be responsible for their own actions."
"Now, I can only hope that they can stop the loss in time."
Zhang Xiaochi sighed, he didn't persuade him, but even the second aunt didn't believe him, let alone others, he was not a savior, so he could only pray silently for them in his heart not to encounter danger.
Lin Xiaoxi nodded seriously, she gently took a bite of the pickles with rice, chewed it slowly, and then said slowly.
"Husband, in my opinion, going to the mountains to hunt will not last long, so many people flock here, the resources will get better and better, and more people will join, and they may not be able to catch prey at that time."
"I don't think it's better for us to go hunting in the mountains, it's not only dangerous, it's also unstable."
Zhang Xiaochi glanced at Lin Xiaoxi a few more times, but he didn't expect the little girl to be so far-sighted.
"Well, I think so too."
Zhang Xiaochi nodded slightly, looking at Lin Xiaoxi, who was chewing slowly, he had a whim, anyway, he was about to do catering, why not try the water first?
You know, he comes from the future, but he knows a lot of snack methods, he can go to the town to set up a stall, try to save his image, otherwise, when he opens a restaurant, the image has not been saved, and then he will really have to Barbie.
Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Xiaochi fell into deep thought, since he decided to test the water first, he naturally wanted to find a business with low cost and money.
"What's the best thing?"
On the side, Lin Xiaoxi was eating, and found that Zhang Xiaochi suddenly remained motionless, and seeing that he was deep in thought, he didn't bother very intimately.
After eating, Lin Xiaoxi silently took his dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen, and then got busy in the yard.
Inside the house, Zhang Xiaochi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while.
This feeling is like a housewife who buys vegetables and cooks all year round, knowing that many dishes are delicious, but when you arrive at the vegetable market, you don't know what to buy.
"Forget it, you can't be a fat man by eating in one bite, take your time."
Zhang Xiaochi was very optimistic and couldn't figure it out, so he decided to give up for the time being.
Time passed, and about an hour or so passed, the two who were busy in the courtyard saw the second aunt and Zhang Fenghe who came back.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaochi hurriedly got up and came to the second aunt's yard.
"Second aunt, how much silver did Wu Xiong give you?"
This time, the second aunt caught a little wild boar of more than 20 catties, and Zhang Fenghe let him catch three fat hares.
"Not to mention, although this Wu Xiong's reputation is not very good, he is still very practical in business, and those things have been sold for more than three taels!"
The second aunt smiled, and the wrinkles on her face that had been tired from years of hard work seemed to have faded a lot.
"You've learned a lot these days, haven't you?"
Zhang Xiaochi asked.
"Mmmm, it adds up to nearly ten taels of silver."
"Congratulations."
Zhang Xiaochi congratulated him from the bottom of his heart, paused slightly, was silent for a while, and then said seriously.
"Second aunt, I repeat the old words, this situation in the back mountain is really a bit abnormal, and you also know that there have been beasts eating people in the back mountain, although there are many people on the mountain, but it is also very dangerous."
"Just like the big wild boar last time, there are so many of us, aren't there still people who almost lost their lives?"
"Xiaochi, I see."
"If it's okay, I'll go cook."
The second aunt replied with a smile.
"Then the second aunt, you go and get busy."
Zhang Xiaochi was helpless, he knew that the second aunt must not have listened to it, so he pulled Zhang Fenghe, who was about to enter the house, and said in a deep voice.
"Fenghe, there is really danger in the mountains, and you have also made a lot of money, even if you want to go hunting in the mountains in the future, you can only go to the outer areas, you know?"
Zhang Fenghe blinked, seeing that Zhang Xiaochi didn't speak, and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Big brother, I'll go in first to help."
"Go ahead."
