Chapter 12: Selling Game
Xia Chuxue walked all morning on the mountain road, and finally came to the town at noon, beside a cement road, small vendors were selling under two rows of big trees on the side of the road.
The weather was so hot, they were all still in good spirits, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, but they never stopped coming and going.
This mountain village with a radius of 100 miles all come here to buy and sell things, and now is the hottest time at noon, and the pedestrians on the road are all far away from home, so they go back directly after buying good things, so they don't have to walk at night, and they will come in the evening when they are a little closer to home! At that time, there will be more people.
In a small township like this, buying and selling things are arbitrary, and as long as there is a market, some villagers will take things that they don't need at home to the market to exchange for some money, so as to subsidize their families.
There are also sparse storefronts, which are noodle shops, and shops selling clothes and jewelry, all of which are on this street.
A slightly more high-end restaurant has a two-story house of more than 100 square meters, and there are still people with heads and faces to enter.
"Little girl, what do you want to eat?"
When the waiter saw the guest coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and when he got closer and saw Xia Chuxue's clothes, his excited eyes immediately became a little mocking.
Out of consideration for the visitor, he didn't say anything too arrogant.
"Hmm... Is your boss here? I have a lot of wild goods here, I don't know if he wants it?"
"We just want wild pheasants, mountain rabbits and other animals!" said the waiter patiently.
This side is a cement road, although it is still very far from the county seat, but the road is relatively easy to walk, and there are still many rich people who come to the small restaurant here to eat wild meat.
Merely... He saw that the little girl opposite was very beautiful, and at first glance she was the kind of weak girl who couldn't lift her shoulders, and it was impossible to catch game.
Xia Chuxue didn't seem to see the waiter's mocking eyes, and still said what she had planned.
"That's right, my uncle caught a lot of game in the mountains, I don't know how much you can give, if you want, I'll let my uncle push the cart over and sell it all to you!"
"What? How much game do you hunt in the mountains?"
Some time ago, there was a county town people who drove over to their restaurant to customize a table of game, saying that they would come tomorrow, and the boss was worried that he didn't catch the game, and now it's good.
"There are about a dozen pheasants, and mountain hares, I don't know if you want this hotel... Snakes?"
She knew that snake meat was also a favorite food for many people, but not many people dared to catch it, so she found some in the grass on the way here, and now they were all packed in sacks and tied tightly.
"You... Can you still catch snakes?"
The waiter finally knew what it means to be invisible, and the sea is incomprehensible.
Such a weak and beautiful little girl, how bold is she?
"Yes, do you want it?"
"Yes, definitely, although not many people dare to eat snake soup, there are also many people who want to eat it but don't have it, how many we have accepted them all!"
Xia Chuxue was so happy that she wanted to sell even the vegetables in the space, but she didn't say anything after thinking about it, after all, there are many vegetables in the mountains, and if you can't afford to sell them, I'm afraid no one wants them at all.
I knew that there were snakes in this restaurant, too, so she caught more on the way.
Since I was a child, I have been dependent on my grandmother, and it is good for the family to eat all year round, so I have learned a lot of skills from childhood to university, especially catching snakes, which is a catch.
When there is no meat to eat at home, it is just the right time to fight tooth sacrifices, and there are still several long clips in the space to catch snakes.
"Hey, can you call the shots when you receive such a big order?"
"The owner of this shop is my father, do you think I can call the shots? We are all small business, and we can't afford to find a waiter, so I will act as a pawn! But beauty, you are so bold that you dare to catch snakes, and if there is such a business in the future, you will patronize our shop!"
The name of the waiter was directly changed from a little girl to a beauty, so that the relationship could be closer and more sources of goods could be found.
"Okay, I'll let my uncle pull the cart over!" Xia Chuxue didn't want to say more, she had to hurry after selling her things.
So, I found a secret place and took out all the bags of hemp that had been packed in the space, went to the side of the road to find a middle-aged uncle who was pulling a cart, and exchanged a pheasant for himself to help pull things.
"Girl, how did you get so many things?" he just asked casually, and he didn't suspect anything.
"It was my two uncles who carried it for me, and I went back when there was an urgent matter at home, so I had no choice but to ask you to come!"
"Gotcha!"
The middle-aged man seemed to be doing heavy physical work, and his hands and feet carried the sack onto the cart.
It's great that you can get such a big fat pheasant in exchange for such a short walk.
A few of the little cubs in the family were finally able to open meat.
"Girl, you are really good at this game, where did you catch it? Why do you grow so fat?"
The boss was also called out by his son at this time, looking at the fat pheasant and hare, his eyes revealed the shrewdness and calculation of a businessman.
If it weren't for the fact that after repeated observations, he was sure that they were indeed game, and he really suspected that these things were raised at home.
"This was all caught by my uncle in the mountains, what price do you think you can give?"
The middle-aged uncle who delivered the goods was very honest, and he was afraid that the boss would bully a little girl, so he stood beside her and gave her courage.
"I caught it, hurry up, we still have something to do at home!"
The thick old man sounded, and the boss said with a smile.
"Your chickens and rabbits are so good, how can I be sure they are real game? You also know that these games are all thin, so how about giving you four or five dollars a catty?"
"Bang!" The middle-aged man slapped his hand on the bar where he collected the money, changing his honesty just now, with a fierce face.
"You see I'm a bully, right? If you do a good deal with us, then do it, if you don't do it, then find someone else!"
"Don't don't, don't, have something to say!" Seeing that this man was not easy to mess with, in order to keep them in long-term business, he said with a very painful look.
"Alright then, I'll take a step back and give you six pieces for a ......"
"Nine yuan, not a single point is missing, otherwise we will find another house!"
Xia Chuxue knew that even if it was nine yuan, she would suffer a loss, but she was in a hurry and didn't want to bargain here.
"Okay, okay, that's it!"
So, the boss asked the family to start weighing, and then he took the calculator and crackled and began to calculate.
The middle-aged man saw that the little girls said this, and he didn't say anything.
He helped out of kindness, but people were willing to fight and suffer, and he didn't need to shout here, give the little girl a posture here, even if he repaid the love of the big pheasant.
