After some time of careful care, the cow at home has no problem pulling the cart now. Yan Zhenshen harnessed the cart and took his husband to Anning Town to sell things.

This time, he mainly sells some wolfberry mushrooms and the autumn bamboo shoots he dug these days. As for the wild fruits and hazelnuts, Chu Xiao plans to keep them for his own consumption in winter.

As for the medicinal materials, after selling them, they will go directly to Tong Ren Tang and sell them to Doctor Hu. After all, he sometimes gets lazy and has no interest in comparing prices. Besides, Doctor Hu is an old acquaintance, so the possibility of him cheating him is not high.

Yan Zhenshen sent the cow to the storage point. There was a piece of linen on the ground with pheasants and rabbits on one side and wolfberry mushrooms on the other.

Chu Xiao didn't know how to hawk his wares, and Yan Zhenshen was even more taciturn. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to accompany Chu Xiao, he would usually send the wild animals directly to the wild goods store.

Zhao Guizhi didn't accompany them this time, so their stall was unusually quiet. But if the goods were good, people would naturally come to see them. Chu Xiao wasn't good at shouting, but he had no problem striking up a conversation.

In addition to farmers, there are also servants of wealthy families who come to West Street to buy. It is the autumn harvest period now, and pheasants and rabbits are also meat, so many people are buying them. What's more, a large one costs only about one hundred coins, and a small one costs no more than seventy or eighty coins.

Rich people don’t care about that little bit of money, they just want to eat something new, but farmers are working very hard these days, so they need to eat something better.

So not long after Yan Zhenshen put the wild animals on display, they were sold out.

The wolfberries that Chu Xiao picked were very big, and many women came to see them. He only brought a basket of dried wolfberries this time, which were quickly sold out. Most of the bamboo shoots were also sold out, but not many people bought the mushrooms, so most of them were left.

Yan Zhenshen accompanied Chu Xiao in selling for a while. As most of the people in the market had left, he took Chu Xiao to the fur shop. This was the place where he had sent the fox skins last time. As they had to be nitrated first, he did not rush Chu Xiao to choose the style. But this time, when selling badger skins, he could ask his husband to pick some.

The owner of the fur shop was very satisfied when he saw Yan Zhenshen's badger skin. Although this thing was not uncommon, many hunters were not good at skinning it, and many of the skins were not complete.

What's more, the silver fox skin that the hunter sent him last time made him a lot of money, so the price he gave this time was also very fair.

"I'll give you seven taels for these skins. Do you think that's okay?"

The price was higher than Yan Zhenshen had expected, so he nodded in agreement and then asked Chu Xiao to choose the style of fur.

Chu Xiao hesitated and finally chose the wide-sleeved cape. After all, he felt that those coats would make him look like a ball when he wore them.

The few mixed-hair fox skins Yan Zhenshen had were certainly enough to make a cloak, but it would have been a bit tight with the wide sleeves, so Yan Zhenshen bought one more from the boss and also ordered two pairs of leather boots for winter.

A fox skin plus the labor cost of two taels and eight qian of silver, two pairs of leather boots of two taels and four qian of silver, a total of five taels and two qian of silver, but the boss only charged five taels.

Just a cloak and two pairs of shoes cost five taels of silver, and the fur was brought by himself. Chu Xiao's eyes widened. It was so expensive, really so expensive.

After coming out of the fur shop, the two went to Tong Ren Tang. Doctor Hu was out seeing patients today and was not in the clinic. Chu Xiao did not wait for him. He put down the three baskets of herbs and asked Doctor Hu to take a look at which ones to accept and which ones to reject, and he could take them back next time he came.

The medicine boy was also a man who knew how to handle things. He quickly checked the herbs, weighed them one by one, and wrote down the quantity. He also told Chu Xiao the price he usually charged, and at the same time praised Chu Xiao for the good quality of the herbs, saying that Doctor Hu would always order them.

Chu Xiao calculated the price given by the medicine boy, which was about 17 or 18 taels of silver. However, this was only about 20% of the medicinal materials in the medicine field. This business could be done.

The medicine boy naturally wouldn't give the money on his own initiative, so he had to wait for Doctor Hu to come back and confirm. He sent the man away in a friendly manner and hurried to the backyard to sort and put the herbs away.

After leaving the clinic, Chu Xiao was very happy and said, "I still have some angelica and gastrodia elata left. I'll send some to Grandpa Lu. By the way, I'll go and ask my uncle if he's been so busy with romance that he forgot about our Xiaobei."

There are many snack shops on the way to East Street, selling mutton offal soup, meat soup with steamed buns, and dumplings and wontons. The aroma will penetrate your nose as soon as you pass by.

It was almost lunch time. Chu Xiao was not very hungry, but he could not resist his greed. He had sold a lot of things today, and the purse embroidered by Zhao Guizhi for him was full. It would not be too much to buy some food.

But looking at this, I want to eat it, and I want to try that too. I thought that I had to go to Grandpa Lu's place anyway, so I might as well buy lunch together when I come over.

Lu Zhubu was busy in the yamen at this time. When he saw Yan Zhenshen and the other man coming, he smiled and asked them to wait a moment.

At this time, the county magistrate was hearing a case in the main hall of the yamen. From time to time, there were cries. Chu Xiao asked the gatekeeper curiously: "What case is this?"

This yamen runner was not the one who was guarding the gate before. He was not familiar with Chu Xiao and said impatiently: "If you want to get things done, go and queue up. If you don't want to get things done, leave. This is the yamen. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

Chu Xiao curled his lips and said nothing more, but quietly ran to the main hall to watch the excitement, and happened to see the county magistrate announcing the verdict.

He was caught stealing in the street and was sentenced to one year in prison for stealing five taels and four thousand silver coins.

Chu Xiao: “…” It turns out that the crime of theft is so serious. Even people who are completely ignorant of the law couldn’t help but shudder. Fortunately, he was not discovered.

hey-hey……

There were many people watching the fun, and Chu Xiao didn't know when he was stuck in the middle. He struggled to squeeze out of the crowd and his forehead was covered with sweat.

After Lu Zhubu finished his work, Chu Xiao took people to buy various snacks. Whenever he asked Yan Zhenshen which one was the best, he just shook his head. To be honest, Yan Zhenshen had never eaten any of them.

When I was young, I seldom went to town. Later, my family had no money, so I could only smell the food. A three-cent meat pie was a luxury for their family. But now, my husband can eat whatever he wants.

Chu Xiao didn't dare to buy too much. He bought two bowls of wontons, two bowls of mutton offal, a few white flour pancakes, and a large bowl of meat soup.

Everything is put into bamboo tubes and you can pour it into a bowl and eat it directly. You need to pay a two-cent deposit for each bamboo tube, and the deposit will be returned when you return the tube after eating.

Lu Zhicheng was not at home today. Qing Ge'er was practicing with a wooden sword. When he saw Chu Xiao, he performed a few moves for him. His moves were pretty nice, but they lacked any strength.

The four of them finished their meal and chatted for a while. Chu Xiao put down the things he brought and was about to go back. Lu Zhubu asked them to wait, gave Chu Xiao two enlightenment books, and said that after the autumn harvest, Yan Zhenbei could report to the academy.
