The arrogant little husband is desperately flirting with the hunter

Most of the time, Yan Zhenshen went to sell the game with Chu Xiao. When the villagers saw them, they couldn't help but tease the couple that they could find the other as soon as they saw one.

When the ox cart slowly approached the village entrance, many people were basking in the sun in the open space. When they saw the doe following the ox cart, they couldn't help but admire it.

Although Yan Zhenshen had hunted sheep and deer before, he didn't make much money at that time and life was hard, so no one thought he had any skills.

But now that people are living a good life, they can't help but praise the deer for its awesomeness when they see it.

The weather has turned cold now, and the price of prey has been rising. A doe this big would cost at least a dozen taels of silver. Farmers may not be able to earn that much even if they work hard for a year.

This caused the villagers to speculate about how much wealth the Yan family had now. As they talked, they inexplicably started talking about the marriage of the second son and the third sister of the Yan family.

All the girls and men of marriageable age were eager to get married, but none of them had mentioned it to the Yan family, and were rejected by Zhao Guizhi with a smile.

"I wonder what kind of person his second son is going to find?"

"Now that he's rich, he won't look down on the farm girls who work in the fields. Now that he's hooked up with the dean and the official, who knows, he might want to find a girl from an official family or a girl from a scholar family."

After someone said this, others also thought it was true. Although the idea of ​​marrying into a wealthy family might seem despised, in fact, no matter which family the girl or boy came from, they would be very happy if they could find a capable relative.

No one paid much attention to the gossip in the village. When Yan Zhenshen arrived in the county town, he went directly to the Lin Mansion to find the housekeeper.

If you have a regular customer, he will always come to ask about the goods no matter he buys or not. Besides, this kind of relatively large prey can only be found in restaurants and butcher shops, apart from wealthy families.

But the price offered by the restaurant and the butcher shop was lower, so it was not as cost-effective as selling it to the Lin family.

Of course, if the Lin family doesn't want it, they can sell it to a restaurant. At worst, they can kill it and sell the meat. If they don't mind the trouble of selling it separately, in such a big county, there will be many families who want to enjoy a fresh meal. Naturally, they can make more money than selling the whole head.

The steward of the Lin residence was still smiling. When he saw the doe, he said that it was very good, saying that venison was delicious and nutritious and was a holy delicacy in winter. He praised the doe to the sky with a lot of flattery.

Compared to the last time they came here, Chu Xiao felt that this person was a little too polite, even a little cautious.

Especially when it came to the price, Manager Lin actually gave Chu Xiao a price that he had not expected, and the first price was twenty taels.

The price is considered high. Even if the doe is sold separately, including the bones, skin, fur and internal organs, it should not be sold for more than twenty taels.

Chu Xiao and Yan Zhenshen looked at each other and felt that there must be something fishy going on.

"Are you sure?" Chu Xiao looked at Steward Lin suspiciously, "Do you think this doe is worth twenty taels?"

"It's worth it." Manager Lin went on to talk about the benefits of venison, from the taste to the efficacy, and his words were really convincing. "Besides, this female deer is not an ordinary thing. You two are so capable, but you can't hunt two in a year. This is what our master likes. Don't even mention twenty taels, he would be willing to spend double the money."

The more Chu Xiao listened, the more he felt something was wrong, but since the money and goods had been exchanged, there was no reason for him to refuse the money.

After receiving the money, the two were ready to leave, but Manager Lin said, "You can send us prey anytime you want."

This means that it is not limited to those before the age of eighteen, they will take them no matter when they are sent.

"Why do you think he's so polite all of a sudden?"

"They are a wealthy family with extensive information. They must have heard something." Yan Zhenshen already had a plan in his mind.

Chu Xiao still remembered that Butler Lin's attitude was not like this when he came here last time. If they asked about the people who often delivered prey, they would definitely ask about them. If they asked, they would naturally know that they knew Qiao Qingyun and Lu Zhicheng.

What's the difference? It can only be...

"Bai Hao?"

"It should be said that he is Marquis Zunyuan." Yan Zhenshen lowered his voice. It would not be good to be too ostentatious when mentioning such an important figure in public.

Chu Xiao was naturally happy to make more money from the sale, but he didn't care whose face he borrowed from: "It seems that this fellow villager is also useful."

Yan Zhenshen chuckled. Fortunately, his words were not heard by Marquis Zunyuan, otherwise he would definitely have an argument with his husband again.

"Let's go walk around the streets and buy some more things with the money we earned today."

Since he said he was going to buy something, Chu Xiao naturally wouldn't be polite. In addition to the pork elbows, he also bought mutton and lamb chops, a roast chicken, five packs of cakes, and fried melon seeds and peanuts.

I passed by a tofu stall and bought a few pieces of tofu. When I turned around, I saw a lot of people gathered there, so I went over to see what was being sold.

I saw two baskets in front of a vendor, filled with red fruits. The fruits looked so plump and juicy that it made people drool unconsciously.

Chu Xiao pulled Yan Zhenshen and said, "It looks like berries, but it's much bigger than the ones on the mountain."

The wild berries on the mountain are only the size of a thumb, have a slightly sweet and sour taste, and don’t look that tempting.

"This is a cranberry. It tastes very sweet. If you like it, you can buy a few." The man selling cranberries carefully picked up one and showed it to everyone: "This is a seedling bought from a foreign country. We experimented for two years before growing it."

"How much is it?" asked a woman who was dressed quite brightly.

The man smiled, but the price he quoted was shocking: "One cent each, you can buy a few to eat fresh, you definitely won't regret it."

The woman was shocked. The fruit was not very big and could be eaten one in one bite. One would have to be very greedy to eat one penny at a time.

Many people shook their heads and dispersed after hearing the price. The man quickly said loudly: "Why don't you buy one and try it. It's really delicious."

"No matter how delicious it is, you might as well go to East Street and knock on the doors of those wealthy families. Maybe you can still sell it."

After the crowd dispersed a little, Chu Xiao came up the mountain and handed the man a penny: "Let me try it."

The man immediately smiled, and it was obvious that he had regained his confidence after receiving support from someone who was supportive of him. "This is a new variety. It took me two years to grow it. The taste is really amazing."

Chu Xiao picked up one and took a bite. His eyes lit up instantly. He quickly stuffed the half he had bitten into Yan Zhenshen's mouth and asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?"

The two people eating the same fruit in public attracted a lot of attention. However, what those people cared about was probably not the actions of the two people, but what the fruit tasted like.

Even so, Yan Zhenshen couldn't help blushing and nodded slightly: "It tastes good."

Hearing this, Chu Xiao squatted down again: "I want to buy more, can it be cheaper?"

"How much do you want to buy?" The man looked Chu Xiao and Yan Zhenshen up and down. Judging from their clothes, they should be a family with plenty of food and drink.

"I want to buy two hundred, how about 150 cents?"

The man hesitated for a moment, then immediately agreed, saying that he would help him pack it up, but Chu Xiao stopped him, saying that he could choose it himself.

The heads come in big and small sizes, so even if he offers a lower price, he will still choose the big one.
