Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Wuyue Town is not small, comparable to a small county town. The town is bustling with cars and horses, and people. Not far away, the vendors' powerful shouts can be heard faintly, and occasionally there is a long neighing of horses. Lin Xiaoyue looked around with eyes wide open, just like Liu Laolao entering a manor. My God, this is an ancient town, it's so lively.

Lin Xiaoyue carried a wild boar that was much bigger than her on one shoulder and a bamboo basket on her back. She followed Lin Zhaodi and two little kids through the crowded street. The four little kids suddenly became the focus of everyone's attention on the street.

The ancient people in front and behind, some young, some old, and some sophisticated, all made way when they saw the four children carrying heavy objects, and could not help but marvel at the amazing strength of these little kids.

Lin Zhaodi led her two younger sisters and walked in front to lead the way, following the direction pointed by Uncle Baotian. When they were really confused, they politely asked passers-by for the direction of Ruyi Tower. After getting exact directions, the four sisters thanked the people and ran forward.

Soon, the four sisters found the unique three-story building described by Uncle Baotian - Ruyi Building. From the outside, the interior decoration was quite ordinary and it was crowded with people. As soon as they stopped, they could smell the aroma of food coming from the restaurant and the guests coming in and out from time to time chatting and laughing. The lively atmosphere showed that the business was booming just by looking at the grand occasion.

The waiter saw the four girls standing at the door. After a moment of hesitation, he hurried over and asked politely, "Are you four planning to sell this wild boar?"

"Yes, little second brother, we still want to discuss something with your shopkeeper. Please help us inform him." Erya's eloquence is not in vain. Although she has never dealt with the people in the town seriously, she is like a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. Even if she is trembling in her heart, she can speak clearly.

Lin Xiaoyue is not used to dealing with people, so she has a second sister who is good at talking to take the lead. Anyway, as long as Lin Zhaodi is not bullied, she would rather do the hard labor and carry heavy objects by the side.

"Looking for our shopkeeper?"

"Yes. In addition to wild boar, we also brought some bear meat. We would like to ask the shopkeeper if he will accept it. If he does not, we sisters will look for other places."

"Hey, wait, don't worry, I'll go find the shopkeeper and talk to him, just wait a moment!"

When he heard about bear meat, Xiao Erliang's eyes lit up and he turned around and ran to the back hall.

The two little kids didn't say much when they arrived in a strange place. They blinked their big round eyes, held the second sister's hand obediently, tilted their heads and smiled at the second sister, then turned their heads and gave a sweet smile to the third sister, and then followed the two sisters obediently and waited quietly.

After a while, the waiter came out from the back hall with a middle-aged man in his forties who looked quite wealthy.

When the shopkeeper first saw Lin Xiaoyue's thin body carrying a wild boar that was more than three times bigger than her, he was shocked, but he quickly calmed down and walked over.

"Little girl, I heard you have bear meat to sell?"

"Yes! Wait a minute."

Erya smiled and nodded, helping Lin Xiaoyue put down the bamboo basket on her back and placed it in front of the shopkeeper. She reached out and uncovered the vegetable leaves covering the basket, "Look, these are all the bear paws, bear gallbladders and some bear meat that we just caught yesterday."

The waiter had never seen bear meat before and was a little curious. He stretched his neck and looked into the basket. He saw that the meat was bright red and thick, but the smell was a bit pungent, much fishier than mutton.

The second brother shrank his head, covered his nose, and said uncomfortably, "This smell is too fishy."

The taste is so strong, how can people eat it?

I heard that bear meat is a rare delicacy, but blind bears are ferocious by nature and live in the mountains all year round, so there are very few people who can hunt them. Scarcity makes things valuable, and there is little bear meat and many people who want to eat it, so the price is naturally high.

The shopkeeper was a connoisseur. He stroked his beardless chin, looked at the children of the Lin family, and asked Lin Xiaoyue, who was still carrying a wild boar since entering the store, "Did you kill all these???"

Lin Xiaoyue's expression was well managed on her calm face. She just said "hmm" lightly, looking very cold.

The shopkeeper leaned over, pointed at the meat with his finger, turned it over, and then took out a towel to wipe his hands. "Okay, I'll take it all. But if the wild animal you hunt is dead in the future, it's best to bleed it immediately, so that the meat will have the right color and taste better. Here I see about 50 or 50 catties, 8 coins per catty. In addition, four bear paws are 20 taels, and bear gall is taels. As for the wild boar, it's coins per catty. I want it all."

When Erya heard the offer, her eyes lit up and she was ecstatic inside and couldn't hide her joy on her face. After all, a girl in her teens could not be compared with Lin Xiaoyue, who had lived three lives as a human. The two sisters looked at each other: the owner of Ruyi Tower was indeed as Uncle Baotian said, a rare and honest person. The price was much higher than what Uncle Baotian had estimated for them.

Lin Xiaoyue did not bargain at the moment. After all, this was much better than expected. Although bear paws were one of the eight treasures and were in short supply, they could be sold at such a high price in this small town. So she said, "Okay, let's do as the shopkeeper said. Do you need to go to the kitchen to ask someone to weigh it?"

"That's great, Xiao Shuanzi, you can show this girl the way. By the way, weigh the weight and report the number when you come back." The shopkeeper was not polite at all. He waved and patted the waiter's shoulder, asking him to show the way.

"Second sister, you and Xiao Si and Xiao Wu wait here for me. I'll go in and come out soon."

After saying that, Lin Xiaoyue reached out and picked up the bamboo basket containing bear meat on the ground, then weighed the wild boar on her shoulder and followed the waiter to the kitchen.

"This girl is not simple!"

Lin Xiaoyue walked through the hall carelessly carrying a "mountain of meat" weighing hundreds of kilograms, causing the guests in the restaurant to go crazy and talk a lot.

The shopkeeper held his chin and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

After Lin Xiaoyue unloaded the goods and weighed the weight with the waiter, she returned to the front hall and saw the shopkeeper greeting her second sister Lin Zhaodi and two little kids who were sitting at a table near the counter.

Lin Zhaodi was probably pleased by the offer just given by the shopkeeper, and was now enthusiastically recounting the thrilling battle between Lin Xiaoyue and the wild bear.

It was obvious that many people were standing or sitting around their table, listening attentively. Some guests even shared their tea with the two little kids in order to get Lin Zhaodi to talk more. This move obviously pleased Lin Zhaodi very much, and made her talk even more thrilling and moving.
