Being able to farm: starting from moving to the village and picking up furry
Chapter 73 No Way to Leave
Li Yanxi, who received the gaze, knew what his father and brother meant, and he understood it without them saying anything.
However, many of the hats he saw being sold along the way were very rough.
He wanted to find something for his wife that could provide shade, wind protection and sand protection, but he didn't see any.
After a while, Xia Qingyu was walking when she felt the light above her head became dimmer. She was startled and turned her head slightly, and found that Li Yanxi had a bamboo hat in his hand.
"Wife, you can only wear this with some help." The man smoothed the straw hat with his bony fingers.
Seeing that she was slightly stunned, Li Yanxi lowered his head and smiled at her gently, then gently put the bamboo hat in his hand on her head.
Not knowing when he went to buy the hat, Xia Qingyu was a little surprised. She just made up an excuse to reply to him at that time. It was not because she really couldn't stand the heat.
Wearing a hat, Xia Qingyu didn't say anything. Thinking of what Li Yanxi had just said, she looked into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.
At the moment, they were going to deliver the wild boars that another slaughterhouse wanted. They didn't want just one, nor did they want a place like a restaurant, so the price was not that high, thirty cents per pound. After delivering the boars, they would rush to the Wang family slaughterhouse that wanted them for breeding.
Taking the silver, Xia Qingyu and his companions headed west towards the pig farm. Before they reached the Liu family butcher shop, they were stopped by a familiar voice.
"Brother Li...you...wait a moment, I finally found you." The person shouting was running and panting.
The person running out was the shopkeeper Dong who had been pushed into the restaurant by his son earlier.
Seeing the eight ordinary pigs in front of them, he was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Brother Li, where are your wild boars? Did you sell them all?"
Are they that fast?
No wonder the official at that time said he didn’t believe it was a wild boar. He clearly saw an ordinary pig. Seeing that the officials were anxious, he was not sure. Finally, he was entrusted to come and find someone. He didn’t expect that it was real.
"Uh... Shopkeeper, this... hasn't been sold yet, it's still the eight wild boars." Mr. Li smiled and spoke vaguely.
Xia Qingyu, who was standing nearby, quietly transferred the illusion power of the wild boar while the two were talking.
"Or are they wild boars? Then I may have run too fast just now, and I must be dazzled like the officials." Puzzled, Shopkeeper Dong rubbed his eyes, and sure enough, he saw eight wild boars again.
At this moment, he exhaled, his body relaxed instantly, his face flushed, he walked towards Mr. Li with a big laugh, and patted Mr. Li on the shoulder.
Thinking of what the officials in the store had said just now, the shopkeeper explained, "Brother Li, you came at the right time today. You really helped the officials out of their urgent need."
Hearing what Shopkeeper Dong said, Xia Qingyu and the others were slightly stunned and did not rush to speak, as they actually involved the official.
After all, if you are not careful when it comes to matters involving the government, you could get punished with a stick, and the more you talk, the more mistakes you make.
Mr. Li didn't know what had happened exactly, and waited patiently for the shopkeeper to continue.
"Don't sell the remaining wild boars yet, keep them together.
The officials in the county government are in urgent need of it. Don't worry, the price will definitely not let you suffer a loss.
They were originally planning to catch it alive, but something went wrong along the way and the hunter who was catching the wild boar was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the wild boar was poisoned to death.
Fortunately, you came today, it really saved the day."
Knowing that the county magistrate of Yunshui County was a fatherly official who cared about the people, Shopkeeper Dong was a little anxious when he heard what the magistrate said. He thought that any help he could give would be a help to the common people at the grassroots level.
Hearing this, Xia Qingyu and Mr. Li looked at each other, probably thinking the same thing about the poisonous snake.
However, they were just guessing and were not sure whether it was the same flying venomous snake they had seen. They all hoped it was not, otherwise many people would be in danger.
Hearing that those officials wanted to buy, Mr. Li was somewhat helpless, but he still explained, "Shopkeeper Dong... I'm really sorry, the remaining nine wild boars were ordered by others. If the officials need them, we can buy them later..."
Before the old man could finish his words, he was interrupted by the shopkeeper, "Who else wants it? Are all these eight wild boars?"
Manager Dong pondered for a moment and realized that it would be too late if he came any later.
Old Master Li nodded and replied, "Yes, all eight. Boss, I'm really sorry, because these eight wild boars were ordered by other families. We promised them, and I can't go back on my word. But there are other live wild boars..."
But once again, the old man was interrupted by Shopkeeper Dong, "It's too late for the rest."
After thinking for a while, Manager Dong said, "This is a bit troublesome. Tell me which slaughterhouses in town they are. I will go to discuss it with them.
They can choose not to buy wild boars this time, but if the officials fail to deliver the live wild boars on time and in the required quantity, the taxes on the people of Muqiang Town will be even heavier!"
"Taxes increased? Boss, what's wrong? Has something happened?" Seeing that he was so anxious, Mr. Li was still a little confused, but when he heard the two key words "taxes", he couldn't help but ask.
Farmers are very concerned about the various taxes collected by the court every year, after all, they are related to the lives of the whole family.
"Well, the official only mentioned this matter once or twice, and I can't explain it clearly for the time being."
Shopkeeper Dong clapped his hands, looking a little anxious, then pulled the man aside and whispered a few words to Mr. Li.
"I see. In that case, let's go and explain it to the other butcheries. I believe they will understand." After hearing what Manager Dong said, Mr. Li nodded instantly. He knew the seriousness of the matter without further explanation.
Li raised his hand and beckoned to his two sons, "Old man and second son, go talk to the butcher shop..."
After knowing the whole story, the Li Yanchuan brothers nodded, separated from them, and turned around to look for the people from the butcher shop.
Seeing this, Shopkeeper Dong looked up to Mr. Li and the others. He didn't expect that after knowing the reason, they would be so straightforward and even more anxious than him.
"Brother Li, then it's settled. You must keep the wild boar. I'll go back and tell the official about it now." After giving the instructions, Manager Dong planned to return to the restaurant.
"Hey, boss, don't worry, we'll just wait here and won't go anywhere."
Looking at the back of Manager Dong as he left, Xia Qingyu and his companions drove the wild boars to the side of the road, where they stood with the eight pigs to avoid blocking the way for others.
They had already arrived at the slaughterhouse. Many people saw them and were looking at them. When they left, their eyes were still on the pigs.
At the same time, the two Li Yanchuan brothers acted separately. After going to Wang's slaughterhouse to talk, they went to a neighboring slaughterhouse to explain the reasons.
After he finished speaking, Li Yanchuan was stopped by a butcher holding a butcher knife.
He stared at him fiercely, "What do you mean by that? You can't leave. I'm telling you this. Either you bring the wild boar here today, or you stay and be the wild boar!"
