Yan Zhenshen drove the ox cart until mid-afternoon when he arrived at another county town, Pinghe County, and they found an inn to stay in.

An ordinary guest room costs 120 wen a night, which is not expensive, but not cheap either. If you carry a large bag, you will have to carry it for four or five days to earn that much.

But when you go out with your husband, you can't be reluctant to spend money.

There were not many people in the inn at the moment, so Chu Xiao asked the waiter where to sell wild animals and mountain products.

The guy had just helped to tie up the cattle in the backyard, and he didn't see anything on their strange-looking cattle cart, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you buying or selling wild animals?"

"Sell." Chu Xiao said with a smile: "We just have a lot of stuff, and it's not easy to travel with it, so we came here to inquire. If it's easy to sell here, we'll bring it over. If not, we plan to sell it in Qinghe County."

The guy thought this was a good idea, after all, it would be troublesome to pull so many things around.

"If it's a large wild animal, you can sell it to the local butchers. They buy it. There's also the Fu Lai Restaurant in the south of the city. They also buy it and the price they give is very fair."

"As for mountain products, our county is backed by mountains, so we don't have a shortage of them, and they can't be sold at a high price. Instead, we can go to the city, which is close to the river and has a canal. Many merchants will buy mountain products there and sell them to the south."

Chu Xiao thanked him with a smile and gave him a handful of chestnuts.

Although there were not many, the waiter still took them with a smile. If he met someone rich, he would usually give some money after asking questions. But since these two were obviously farmers and were staying in ordinary guest rooms, it was normal not to give them any money. Giving them something was thoughtful.

Yan Zhenshen brought up the quilt from the oxcart, and then he listened to Chu Xiao's words. He nodded and said, "I'll go to Fulai Inn tomorrow to ask. If the price is right, I'll sell the two wild boars."

"We can only sell them while walking. Wild boars are not like other wild animals. If we take them all out at once, people will be scared."

Yan Zhenshen chuckled and said, "It seems that we really need to go to the capital. There are a lot of goods there. We can sell the wild boar and use the money to buy some of the things you like."

Chu Xiao really wanted to buy some things. Apart from anything else, the cloth Wang Wu brought back last time was very good, with bright colors and many styles. It was nothing like the ones in Anning Town, where there were only a few styles.

Especially the men, most of them wore gray clothes. Brother Shen was so handsome, and those clothes really reduced his appearance.

Of course, mother and younger sister should also wear brightly colored clothes.

On the second day, Yan Zhenshen left the inn early in the morning and went to Lai Fu Restaurant to ask about the price of the wild boar.

They charge 15 wen per pound for the wild boars that have not been cleaned up. If they are cleaned up, they can be sold for 22 or 23 wen per pound in winter.

The wild boars carried back by the strong boy were all big. Even if the head, tail, bones and internal organs were removed, one wild boar could produce nearly 500 kilograms of meat, which could be sold for about 11 or 12 taels.

If I sell it to a restaurant, it should only be ten taels, but it would be troublesome if I sell it myself.

Yan Zhenshen asked about the price and left. The guy said that if he wanted to sell it, he could just take it to the backyard and knock on the door.

After all, wild boars look fierce and ugly, and it would be bad if they scared the distinguished guests who came to eat.

After asking here, Yan Zhenshen did not go back directly, but went to ask several butcher shops. The prices they gave were all thirteen or fourteen cents, which was indeed not as high as that offered by Lai Fu Restaurant.

When he returned to the inn, Chu Xiao had already gotten up and washed up. After breakfast, the two of them drove to the back door of Lai Fu Inn.

Seeing that there was no one around, Chu Xiao threw out two wild boars and a basket of mushrooms and fungus under the cover of the ox cart.

Then he knocked on the backyard door, and a big man with a machete opened the door. Yan Zhenshen was so frightened that he protected Chu Xiao behind him.

It’s not that he is timid, but he always has to be careful when he goes out. If this person really uses a knife to attack someone, he still has to be on guard.

When the big man saw Yan Zhenshen's action, he quickly put the knife behind his back and said, "I'm sorry, brother. I was just about to chop bones. I hope I didn't scare your husband."

Yan Zhenshen looked back at Chu Xiao and saw that he was looking at him with sparkling eyes. He smiled and said, "Brother Shen, you are a hero saving a beautiful girl. That's great."

Yan Zhenshen's ears blushed. It had been a long time since his husband flirted with him like this. He still felt a little shy when he heard it suddenly. What should he do?

The big man went to look at the two wild boars and exclaimed: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, these wild boars are really big. They must be spirits."

"This one weighs at least 700 kilograms. I've never seen such a big wild boar in my life. Look at its fangs. They can pierce me through."

Chu Xiao: “…” This person’s description is really good.

The big man couldn't lift the wild boar by himself. Yan Zhenshen could do it with some effort, but only with some effort. Finally, he called four men from the yard to come over, and then he lifted the boar up and weighed it.

One weighed more than 760 kilograms, and the other weighed over 800 kilograms.

When the wild boar was put down, the four guys kept rubbing their shoulders and asked curiously: "How did you kill the wild boars? And you killed two at once."

Chu Xiao: “…” Struck to death by lightning.

Fortunately, the lightning created by the tough boy is different from natural lightning. Although it will leave some burnt ash on his body, it will not burn him directly. Otherwise, they will have to skin him and sell his meat.

Or maybe it was because practice makes perfect for the macho boy, as he killed the wild boars behind him with one blow. His space was also chopped several times, and his fur was all burnt black. He had no idea how many times he was chopped. It was simply unbearable to look at.

Yan Zhenshen had already thought of the answer and replied, "The villagers chased the wild boar into the trap together. Otherwise, who would dare to attack such a big wild boar?"

As he said that, he looked at Chu Xiao. He felt that his husband should be brave enough. After all, this guy really didn't seem to be afraid of anything. He would even go up to take care of a blind bear or a tiger if he encountered one.

Chu Xiao was confused by his look. What kind of look was that? What did that look of disapproval mean? What did he do?

They sold the two wild boars for twenty-three taels this time. Fortunately, it was cold now and the meat could be kept. Otherwise, they would not dare to buy any such big wild boars for fear that they would go bad before they could be sold.

As for the two baskets of mountain products, the restaurant also took them, but the price was not high, seven cents a pound for mushrooms and fifteen cents for black fungus.

For this price, he really only made a profit from running errands, but a mosquito is still meat, and he collected a lot this time. He might as well sell it if he can, but he can't really take it back and give it to the people who built the house to eat. If he eats it every day, he will get tired of it.

What's more, once this thing expands, two handfuls can make a basin.

Because of this, these mushrooms are really not easy to sell in this place, and these two are the most abundant products in the mountains during the rainy season.
