A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best
Chapter 30 Selling for Money
Li Xiaoxiao jumped directly off the ox cart. Li Quanfu tied the cart and followed her. Sun was a little hesitant. She was timid and was afraid of wolves, even dead ones.
"Mom, come here, it's dead." Li Xiaoxiao shouted loudly. She and Li Quanfu could not move it. An adult wild wolf weighed about 150 kilograms, and this wolf king was estimated to weigh 200 kilograms.
Hearing her daughter calling her like that, Sun had no choice but to muster up the courage to walk over, turning her head away, not daring to even look.
"Xiaoxiao, how could you beat this wolf?" Looking at the wolf king in front of him, Li Quanfu was a little bit unbelievable. This was the wolf king, who was smarter and stronger than ordinary wolves.
"Uncle Quanfu, I'm so lucky. When I met the two wolves, they were already injured. Maybe they were hurt by other hunters, so I was able to take advantage of the opportunity." Li Xiaoxiao said with a look of relief. She had thought of this excuse a long time ago.
Li Quanfu was a little skeptical. Jiunu Mountain was huge and there were several hunters in their village. It was possible that the wolf king was injured somewhere else and ran here. Without saying anything else, the three of them worked together to get the wolf onto the ox cart.
Li Quanfu's family has a cellar, so the two wolf carcasses will be temporarily placed in his cellar tonight. Li Xiaoxiao took out a pheasant from the backpack behind him and said, "Uncle Quanfu, I hunted three pheasants today. We can't finish them at home, so I'll give you one."
"No, take it back quickly and use it to nourish your father's body." Li Quanfu knew that this was a thank-you gift from Li Xiaoxiao using his family's ox cart, but how could he accept it?
"Please don't be polite to me. Tomorrow I will have to trouble you to accompany me to the county town to sell the wolf."
Helpless, Li Quanfu had to accept it. He had a familiar butcher in the county town, and he would not be cheated by others if he followed Li Xiaoxiao. "Okay, come early tomorrow morning and we will go together."
After returning home, Li Xiaoxiao lay down on the floor directly. She was so tired. She had traveled such a long distance and fought against a pack of wolves, which had already used up all her energy.
Sun suppressed the shock that the two wolves brought to her. Seeing her daughter like this, she felt distressed. She grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into her hands: "Xiaoxiao, eat candy."
Looking at the candy in her hand, Li Xiaoxiao was speechless. She was so old, and she still ate this. Just thinking about it made her feel relieved. Li Huawen and Li Ruolan always looked like they treasured it and were reluctant to eat it. Since she was in the countryside, she had to follow the local customs and put the candy in her arms: "Mom, I'm thirsty now, I'll eat it later, can you help me get a glass of water?"
Hearing this, Sun hurriedly poured her some water. Watching Li Xiaoxiao drink it, she said with concern, "You should take a nap. We'll all go out." Then she called Li Dahai to go out.
Li Huawen and Li Ruolan were both outside the door. When they saw Sun coming out, they hurriedly asked, "Mother, what happened to our second sister?"
Sun placed a finger between her lips, signaling him to keep his voice down. She walked a little further away before saying, "Your second sister is fine. She went up the mountain today and hunted two wolves. She was too tired and fell asleep. Don't bother her."
Li Huawen opened his mouth so wide that an egg could fit in it. Li Dahai and Li Ruolan were equally shocked.
"Mom, where is the wolf? I want to see it." Li Huawen excitedly shook Sun's arm.
"It's in Dazhuang's cellar. It's dark now, so we have to wait until tomorrow morning." Sun hurriedly stopped him.
"How did she, a girl, hunt it?" Although Li Dahai had never seen a living wolf, he had heard that wolves are ferocious and the hunting process must be extremely dangerous.
"I didn't have time to ask her in detail, Xiaoxiao fell asleep." Sun had already prepared the meal, but she was not in the mood to eat.
So they waited outside. After about an hour, Li Xiaoxiao woke up. It was pitch black and she was the only one in the room. She went into the space to check the time. She had slept for nearly two hours. Her stomach growled, so she got up and went out.
I saw a few people from the Sun family sitting under a big tree not far away, and I could hear faint voices of people talking.
Li Huawen couldn't sit still any longer, but his mother didn't let him disturb his second sister, so he had to keep staring at the door. Finally, when he looked at it for the 800th time, the door opened.
The excitement on her face was unconcealed. She rushed over in a few steps and almost bumped into Li Xiaoxiao. "Second sister, mother said that you hunted two wolves. Is that true?"
She looked at her second sister with burning eyes, as if she was looking at a super hero.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoxiao quickly dodged.
"It's true. I'll take you to see it tomorrow morning. Mom, have you eaten? I'm hungry." Li Xiaoxiao asked.
"I've been waiting for you. Go inside and wait. I'll bring it over right away." Seeing that Li Xiaoxiao was in much better spirits than before, Sun finally felt relieved.
As he spoke, he had already opened the lid of the pot and quickly brought the food to the table.
During the meal, Li Dahai asked some more questions about the mountain, and Li Xiaoxiao told him the answers he had prepared in advance.
Silent all night.
After breakfast, Li Huawen went to Li Quanfu's house with his second sister. When he saw the two wolves, he widened his eyes in surprise. They were huge wolves with gray hair all over their bodies and their eyes closed. If they were alive, they would definitely be very majestic.
He curiously reached out his hand and touched the wolf's fur. It was soft, smooth and shiny. The more he looked at it, the happier he was. He became more determined to practice archery well. He also wanted to go to the mountains to hunt wild wolves in the future.
Li Xiaoxiao and Li Quanfu soon arrived at the market and went to find Wang the butcher, to whom Li Quanfu often sold wild animals. Wang the butcher was a very honest man, so she introduced Li Xiaoxiao to him.
"This is my niece. She is an excellent archer. She will go hunting in the mountains in the future. She will sell it herself then. Brother Wang, please give her a fair price."
"Of course. You introduced them to me and the price is guaranteed to be the same as yours. What good stuff did you hunt this time?" Butcher Wang agreed readily and asked with a smile, looking at the bulge on the ox cart, which looked like a big thing.
Li Quanfu and Li Xiaoxiao had discussed it on the way and decided to lie and say that the item belonged to Li Quanfu this time, mainly because they were afraid that Butcher Wang would not give a high price.
Li Quanfu did not waste any time and walked to the ox cart. He lifted the sack covering it, revealing two wolf carcasses.
Butcher Wang was a little surprised. There were many hunters in Jiunu County, but not many of them could hunt wolves, let alone two wolves at a time. He weighed them neatly, a total of 350 catties. Wolf meat was more expensive than pork, 20 cents per catty, which was 7 taels of silver. Wolf skin was another price, which was very high. It was only because there were a few arrow holes on it that the price was not that expensive. He charged 57 taels for the two wolves, a total of 64 taels.
After counting the silver and handing it to Li Quanfu, Butcher Wang couldn't stop smiling. He could make a fortune again today. This fresh wolf meat was sold to big restaurants at 40 cents per pound, and the demand could not keep up with the supply. A hotel owner had already placed an order for wolf meat from him, but no hunter had delivered it yet. He was still thinking about this in the morning, but he didn't expect it to arrive so soon.
Li Xiaoxiao handed him the two wild rabbits in the basket. The two rabbits weighed 17 jin and each weighed 12 wen, which meant 202 wen in total. Li Xiaoxiao took it and thanked him.
After leaving the stall and walking away, Li Quanfu handed the silver to Li Xiaoxiao and gave her some instructions.
"Make sure you keep your money safe. Don't show it to others. Be careful not to be targeted by someone with ulterior motives."
Li Xiaoxiao thanked him repeatedly. If it wasn't for Li Quanfu, she wouldn't have been able to sell it for so much silver. She put the money away with a smile. Now she finally had the money for the house and enough for Li Huawen's tuition. She finally experienced the feeling of being a nouveau riche.
