Chapter 18: The Excited Shopkeeper

"Uncle, my second brother hit it, and he slashed the wild boar with a firewood knife, and then the wild boar was finished." Jixiang said with a smile.

"Hey, what about blood, why is there no blood?" The butcher asked in surprise.

"Blood, we let it go on the mountain?" Jixiang replied.

"What! You bled on the mountain, did you encounter any other beasts? The butcher asked in surprise.

Anyone who can hunt generally knows that as long as you catch wild animals, try not to shed too much blood, and if there is too much blood, then you must leave this place as soon as possible.

But Jixiang and the eldest brother were able to bleed in the mountains, this bloodletting not only tasted big, but also took a short time, which ...... There really are gods blessed.

"Jixiang, it seems that there are really gods in your family to bless you, otherwise just a few of you would have been swallowed by a big worm in your stomach." The butcher shook his head and sighed.

Ji Xiang sighed in his heart, he seemed to remember that when the two of them were bleeding, the breeze around them was gentle, and the smell of logs covered up the bloody smell of wild boars.

No wonder Daddy always has to take a fortune treasure with him when he goes up the mountain at night, this blessing treasure is not just a blessing treasure, but also a spiritual treasure to ward off evil spirits.

The butcher and Jixiang wrapped the wild boar in oilcloth again, loaded it on the cart, and agreed that the butcher would come to pick up the wild boar tonight.

The two left the backyard, cleaned their hands, and entered the hall, where the butcher took out a silver ingot of five taels from the blanket and handed four strings of copper plates to the old man Xiang.

"Big brother, a 400-pound wild boar can produce more than 300 catties of meat, and there are five taels or four dollars of silver here, I will calculate it according to 300 catties, and I will refund more and make up for less when the time comes."

Old Man Xiang only took five taels of silver, pushed back the remaining four strings of copper coins, and said with a cheerful smile: "I won't refund if I have more, and you won't make up for it if I have less, that's it, thank you, brother-in-law." ”

Xiang Hanqin didn't expect to come here to thank him, and he also thanked a big wild boar, so they really made a bargain this time, and they were a little embarrassed.

can see that Fubao was hugged out by the rich sister-in-law, all the embarrassment is gone, and she will buy clothes, skirts, and flowers for Fubao in the future.

"Fu Bao is awake, come, let my aunt and grandmother hug you." Xiang Hanqin hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand.

Sister-in-law hurriedly shook her hand: "Auntie, you are pregnant with a child, the month is still young, and the blessing treasure is heavy." ”

"Then I'll sit, you give me a hug of Fubao, just hug it." Xiang Hanqin said a little coquettishly.

Fugui's sister-in-law glanced at Grandma Xiang, and when she saw her mother-in-law nodding, she put Fubao in Xiang Hanqin's arms, but her eyes were staring tightly, for fear that Fubao would fall to her aunt.

Fu Bao just opened her eyes slightly and closed her eyes, she had absorbed the essence of a hundred years of ginseng, and was cultivating her own essence, as long as the essence was strong enough, she could absorb more essence.

Xiang Hanqin looked at Fu Bao, who was sleeping soundly, and imagined in her mind that her child was born, so soft and glutinous, so exquisite, and couldn't help but show a motherly smile.

Everyone didn't drink alcohol today, especially the butcher, and he had to break down the wild boar tonight, although he gave the eldest brother five taels of silver, but he knew in his heart that he could not only eat wild boar, but also earn at least one tael of silver.

There is no way, the daughter-in-law is pregnant, she has to eat something good, although there is also silver at home, but how can anyone think that there is more silver, if you can earn a little more.

After Xiang Hanqin and his wife left, Old Man Xiang gave the silver to Grandma Xiang, and Grandma Xiang took out a tael of silver and handed it to Jixiang: "Buy some cotton and cotton cloth tomorrow and come back, if you have extra money, buy some pastries for Fubao." ”

Since the wild boar had been disposed of, Fugui did not go to the county, but followed the old man to collect firewood, and Jixiang went to the county alone and ran directly to the safe cloth village.

The shopkeeper saw that it was auspicious, smiled and asked him to find peace by himself, and when he saw auspiciousness, he happily stopped what he was doing.

"Jixiang, why are you here today, and the salary hasn't been paid yet?"

"Big brother, let me tell you something, my father and mother let you go home, there are important things to say." Jixiang said seriously.

Ping An carefully observed the auspicious face, without any anxiety or uneasiness, but the excitement that could not be hidden, could it be that there was something good in the family.

"Jixiang, is there a happy event at home?" Ping An asked.

Jixiang opened his mouth wide in surprise, this big brother, he really obeyed.

"Big brother, let me tell you, there is really a happy event in the family, and here's how it goes......"

Jixiang looked around, saw that there was no one, and leaned into Ping's ears to get up.

Ping An felt that his heart was beating so hard that it was a little difficult to breathe, and seeing that Jixiang was still so close to him, he couldn't help but push Jixiang away and gasped for a few breaths.

"Jixiang, follow me to see the shopkeeper, he has a way." Ping An finally calmed down and looked at Jixiang and said.

"Why, is this shopkeeper reliable?" Jixiang asked.

"Reliable, I've been with him for so many years, and he is a person with good character, and the last time I heard it, it seems that the owner is looking for ginseng, and the general ginseng is not needed, and it is specified to be more than a hundred years."

Jixiang nodded, the two walked outside, the shopkeeper looked at the two strangely, why was his expression so nervous, could it be that something happened to Ping'an's family.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper's hand touched his sleeve, and found a small piece of silver about five or six yuan.

"Shopkeeper, I have something to tell you, can you borrow a place?" Ping An respectfully bowed to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper hurriedly turned sideways and accepted half a salute, although Ping An is the bookkeeper of the cloth village, but he has also read books, and he can't accept all this gift.

"Ping, let's go inside, don't worry about anything." The shopkeeper pushed open a door behind him and took the lead and walked in.

Ping An asked Jixiang to stay outside, he followed in, and then closed the door, but not long after, Jixiang heard the sound of porcelain breaking inside, it should be a broken cup.

Then, it was the shopkeeper who pulled Ping'an out in a hurry, and when he saw Jixiang, he smiled and said, "Jixiang, go, I want to go back with you to have a look." ”

auspicious: "......"

But as soon as the shopkeeper walked out of the door, he hurriedly turned around, and asked Ping An to wait for a while, he wanted to write a letter to the owner, so that the owner would come and take a look.

Ping An can only pull Jixiang to buy some cotton and cotton cloth in the cloth village first, as for going to the dim sum shop to buy pastries, it is estimated that I can't buy it today, I didn't see the shopkeeper too anxious to see the ginseng.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the shopkeeper to come out, hand a sealed letter to a fellow, and hurriedly leave.

At a glance, he saw that Ping An and Jixiang were holding cotton and cotton cloth in their hands, and hurriedly asked the man to take out two cotton cloths and let them put them on the carriage.
