The person who spoke was an old man with a goatee. He was the owner of the Yuelai Restaurant across the street. His eyes were shining as he walked towards Mr. Li and the others and spoke slowly.

"Oh, this wild boar is fresh and alive, so the price should be higher. Old man, will you sell it?"

After circling a group of wild boars, Shopkeeper Fu smiled at Shopkeeper Dong, then came over and took a photo of Mr. Li.

Shopkeeper Dong just looked at Mr. Li and the others with an unchanged smile on his face, but did not say anything. As for how to choose, it was not something he could decide now.

It is normal for buying and selling to be free and the highest bidder wins. If they really don't want to sell, he won't stop them.

"Manager Fu, what do you mean? Robbery?" People from other shops nearby also stretched their necks and pointed at Manager Fu.

"It's none of your business. I'll buy it if I want to."

Yuelai Restaurant was built earlier than Wanfu Restaurant and had already become a well-known restaurant.

But since the Wanfu Restaurant opened, it quickly became the largest restaurant in Muqiang Town. Manager Fu was unwilling to accept this, so he started to make trouble. Over the years, he has been stealing customers from the Wanfu Restaurant and even secretly tripping them up from time to time.

"Manager Fu, do you want to buy a wild boar too? Next time I hunt one, I'll come to town to find you." Old Master Li turned slightly and bowed to the other party with a smile.

After being rejected, Shopkeeper Fu's smile froze, and his tone suddenly became bad, "What the hell are you talking about next time? I want it today. You are not making money, but you are not going along with it. What are you thinking? You country bumpkins really don't have brains."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanzhu and others immediately stepped forward and wanted to confront them.

This bastard, this is not the way to fool people.

In the past, some people were fooled by him and ate by the pound. The seller told the truth and was wrongly accused of stealing and beaten on the spot.

"Dad, those people need it urgently, please have someone send it to the kitchen quickly." An anxious voice came from a slightly plump boy in his twenties.

He was the son of Shopkeeper Dong. When he heard the noise, he came over and said a few words to his father. Then he became extremely anxious and ran to discuss the matter with Li Yanchuan.

He looked so anxious, as if he couldn't wait even a minute longer. He raised his head and said to the goateed shopkeeper Fu, "Shopkeeper Fu, you don't have to spend extra money to buy it. After all, we have already ordered this wild boar and we need it urgently."

"Hey, we are in urgent need of it too, old man, hurry up, or else it might be hard to sell your wild boar."

After hearing Li Yanchuan's words, Xia Qingyu held back her laughter and looked at the Dong and his son who were acting.

As for what kind of weird person Manager Fu was, Xia Qingyu was speechless.

She smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is right. Why would you want to go against money? Which wild boar do you want? I will sell it to you today."

"Seventh brother's sister-in-law?" Li Yanchuan glanced at Xia Qingyu. He didn't expect that she would really do this.

"Okay, okay! Just the one they weighed." After saying that, Shopkeeper Fu smiled and asked them to quickly carry the wild boar over. He waved his hand and asked the servants to bring the silver, intending to buy it on the spot.

"If you want to buy, just weigh it on the spot." Shopkeeper Dong sighed lightly and spoke helplessly.

"Weigh it on the spot, then weigh it on the spot." It was obvious that the old man wanted to displease Manager Dong, so he just asked someone to weigh it without saying anything, and he didn't even do the usual trick of tampering with the scale.

"Boss, the total weight is seven hundred and fifty-six pounds." The guys who were weighing the boar lifted the wild boar together and reported the weight to their boss.

With a big wave of his hand, Manager Fu threw the silver to Mr. Li in front of everyone, "A total of twenty-six taels, plus a change of four hundred and sixty coins."

The purse was nearly hit by the hand, but Li Yanxi managed to grab it. Li Yanchuan opened it, counted the money, and then let his brother keep it.

The price difference between ordinary domestic pigs and wild boars is about twice. An ordinary domestic pig is fifteen cents per pound, while a wild boar is generally twice as expensive. After all, the wild boars in the mountains are not domesticated, and it still takes luck and strength to catch them.

This shopkeeper Fu who suddenly appeared wanted to steal the goods and gave three cents more than shopkeeper Dong. The other party also threatened him deliberately. Xia Qingyu didn't take it seriously at all. If they dared to do something dirty, then just steal back.

After pushing his father back to the restaurant, Dong Chen turned around and raised his smiling face.

"Uncle Li, since the other one has been stolen, let's take this one." Dong Chen, the son of Shopkeeper Dong, waited for Shopkeeper Fu to weigh the wild boar, and then asked the waiter to weigh the wild boar on the spot.

"Seven hundred and thirty pounds." The man told the wild boar its weight, and then they carried it into the house together.

"Boss, someone seems to be looking for you urgently." At this time, a waiter ran out of Yuelai Restaurant and shouted to Boss Fu.

While he was waiting for the waiter to carry the wild boar into the kitchen for processing, the waiter behind Shopkeeper Fu strode towards him and whispered something in his ear.

He hurried into the house with his men, and before leaving, he glanced towards the Zhan Wanfu Restaurant with a smug look in his eyes.

"Uncle Li, you follow them to the store to get the silver. I'll go find my father first." Dong Chen said, and asked the clerk to take them to get the silver.

Mr. Li, who went to get the silver, specifically reminded the clerk who was counting the money, "Just calculate it according to what the shopkeeper said, thirty or twenty coins per pound."

The wild boar sold to Wanfu Hotel was priced two cents per pound higher than the market price, which really surprised Mr. Li and his friends.

As for the one who manages Fu, he would not refuse even if he gave them more money, just as he wished, and he would not be picky about money.

Shopkeeper Dong, who saw all this, personally escorted Mr. Li out.

Xia Qingyu, who was waiting for someone and looking at the street, curled her lips. When she heard what the waiter said, she instantly calculated twenty-three taels of silver and three hundred and sixty copper coins in her mind.

She knew that given the old man's temper, he would definitely calculate according to the price they had originally agreed upon.

Here, one copper coin is one wen, and one thousand wen is one liang.

Li Yanfeng and his brothers had not been to school much before. They counted money on their fingers. The second brother, Li Yanchuan, who had stayed in the town for many years, was used to counting and gave the number quickly.

"Fuck, second brother, are there really so many? It seems that if we sell these wild boars today, we can find someone to help build the house as soon as possible."

As soon as he came out, Mr. Li took the purse from his youngest son. Holding the settled silver he got from selling the wild boar, he had a smile on his face and his feet seemed to be floating as he walked.

This is the silver they got from two wild boars, and there are eight more waiting for them to sell.

"Haha, Dad, your mouth is almost reaching your ears." Looking at their dad laughing like this, Li Yanchuan and his brothers also laughed.

"You little bastard, you're still laughing at your father. Aren't you all so happy too? This is such a great thing, why don't you laugh or cry?" After saying this, Mr. Li walked towards Xia Qingyu.

He handed the two money bags in his hand to Xia Qingyu, "Qingyu, these money bags are in your custody."

When he was at home, he had already discussed it with his wife. This was the wild boar caught by his daughter-in-law, and all the silver should be given to her.
