When Chu Xiao heard that Luo Ge'er was sick, he was a little anxious and wanted to go over to see her, but Zhao Guizhi stopped him and whispered that she might be pregnant.

Chu Xiao's expression immediately changed from anxious to somewhat confused. It turned out that this guy could really get pregnant and have a baby.

What about him?

Brother Shen is so vigorous, maybe he is also pregnant? Thinking about having a big belly in the future, Chu Xiao shuddered unconsciously.

Zhao Guizhi originally planned to have a quick lunch, but the eldest brother and Xiao Ge came back and fried some bacon.

After a while, Yan Zhennan came back with his third sister and Xiaobei. Yan Zhennan was carrying a large wooden barrel and before he even entered the yard, he was shouting, "Mom, I caught two big fish. I'll stew one for lunch and keep the other one for my eldest brother to eat when he comes back."

Zhao Guizhi was busy in the kitchen. When she heard Yan Zhennan's voice, she shouted, "Kill it first. Your elder brother has come back. You can eat the other one tomorrow."

Chu Xiao was originally busy in the kitchen with Zhao Guizhi. Now he took out the winnowing basket for the fruits, carried it outside and invited his third sister and Xiaobei to come and eat.

Chu Xiao picked only the sweetest fruits. After taking a bite, Yan Sanmei's eyes lit up: "Brother Xiao, this is delicious. We can take it to the county to sell."

Chu Xiao: “…” It seems that he is not the only money-grubber in the family.

I cooked another fish at noon, so by the time the meal was ready it was already past the normal lunch time.

However, the meal was plentiful and everyone ate to their heart's content. Only Chu Xiao couldn't eat much. Although his health had improved a little, his appetite was still small. Seeing Xiao Bei finish a large bowl of rice, he felt inferior.

After dinner, Chu Xiao followed Zhao Guizhi to sort out the mountain products they brought back. Since they had to go to the county town anyway, they might as well sell them together.

Chu Xiao didn't know how much these should be sold for. Yan Zhenshen knew something, but not much, especially since the prices of mountain products fluctuated.

Finally, Zhao Guizhi decided to go with them tomorrow.

The next day, the family got up early and had breakfast. Yan Zhenshen and Chu Xiao went to Wang Wu's house together. This time they wanted to bring Luo Ge'er with them. It was naturally not appropriate for Yan Zhenshen, a grown man, to go there, so he brought his husband with him to avoid gossip from the villagers.

Chu Xiao was still wondering whether Luo Ge'er was really pregnant. When he arrived at Wang Wu's house, he wanted to ask Luo Ge, but when he saw people, he chose to shut up.

Look at how rosy her face is. She doesn't look sick. She always feels like vomiting, which is similar to the symptoms of pregnancy.

Although Chu Xiao didn't have a girlfriend in his previous life, he had seen the sisters in the base get pregnant. As the saying goes, you have never eaten pork, but you have seen pigs run.

Father Wang helped to harness the ox cart, and waited until the two boys got on before he finally spoke his first words: "Yan boy, drive slowly on the road."

"Don't worry." Yan Zhenshen replied.

"Okay." said the king's father.

I thought he would say something more, but Wang's father shut up and said nothing. Yan Zhenshen waited for a while, but no one spoke. Luo Geer smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Dad, you do your thing. We'll leave first."

"it is good."

There are three sentences in total, and two of them are good.

Chu Xiao held back his laughter until the ox cart had moved some distance away before he burst out laughing: "Luo Ge'er, has your father always been so quiet?"

Luo Ge shook his head helplessly: "Yeah, he barely talks to me in a day. When I first got married, I thought he didn't like me because I was a young man and ignored me. After a while, I realized that he just didn't like to talk."

After listening to this, Chu Xiao glanced at his brother Shen. Fortunately, although this man was dull, he still had things to say to him. If it was like what happened with Wang's father, with only the two of them in the mountains, he felt that he would be suffocated to death.

After picking up Zhao Guizhi and loading up mountain products and wild animals, several people drove the horse-drawn carriage to the county town.

The few people did not arrive early, and many spots on both sides of the road had already been occupied. Yan Zhenshen drove the ox cart to choose a spot and paid a stall fee of three cents.

Because there are wild animals on the bus, it is not convenient to put it next to the food, so the location is a little off.

Zhao Guizhi first spread a piece of linen on the ground, and then Yan Zhenshen moved things down, first bringing down the wild vegetables and fruits, and then throwing the pheasant next to it.

When he was about to move the doe, Chu Xiao stopped him and said, "Brother Shen, you are not yet eighteen years old. Let's go to the Lin Mansion and ask the housekeeper Lin if he will accept it."

Yan Zhenshen nodded. The doe was quite big and it would be difficult to sell the whole deer.

Chu Xiao asked Luo Ge'er to wait here for a while, and wait for him to go to the east of the city and come back to accompany him to the clinic.

Luo Ge'er had come to the county town to sell eggs before, and she even liked selling things. It was a good opportunity for her to stay and keep Zhao Guizhi company, so she nodded and agreed.

Yan Zhenshen drove a ox cart with Chu Xiao to the east of the city. After asking several people, they finally found Master Lin's house. It looked big from the outside, but it was unclear what was going on inside.

After parking the ox cart by the roadside so as not to block the door, Yan Zhenshen walked up to the doorman and told him that he was looking for Manager Lin.

The concierge looked at him, stretched his neck to look at the object on the cart, and after seeing that it was a deer, he smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll pass the message on."

After a while, Manager Lin came out and smiled when he saw Yan Zhenshen: "Oh, you came at a coincidence. My young master and several of his classmates are coming to your house tomorrow to meet friends for poetry. I was planning to go to the market to buy some."

When he saw the doe, his eyes lit up: "How much silver do you plan to sell this for?"

Before Yan Zhenshen could speak, Chu Xiao answered first: "Fifteen taels of silver."

Manager Lin saw that it was this young man again and smiled, "Young man, you are wrong. The market price of this doe is not more than 15 taels."

"I'm just waiting for you to bargain," Chu Xiao said with a smile.

"You, little brother." Manager Lin shook his head and said, "This deer is estimated to weigh 150 to 160 kilograms, and I really need it. Let's talk about a sincere price, how about 12 taels?"

This is two taels higher than Brother Shen’s estimated price, so it must be possible.

"Okay." Chu Xiao agreed with a smile: "But this deer is injured and probably won't live for a few days."

Chu Xiao knew that the deer looked quite energetic now, but it could only live for two or three days at most. If something unexpected happened, the poetry gathering would be cancelled. What if the deer died on its own instead of being killed and came to them to return the money? Therefore, he had to make it clear in advance.

"We have to bleed them tonight." Manager Lin then asked Yan Zhenshen, "It's my master's birthday in a few days. Can you still send the prey over then?"

Hunters make their livings by luck, so he can’t guarantee it. “It’s hard to say.”

Manager Lin was a little disappointed. Food could not be stored well in the summer and the people in the mansion needed to eat fresh game. However, many of the prey caught by hunters had injuries here and there and could not be kept in good condition. The meat would go bad within two days after death.

However, the wild goats we bought last time were raised for many days, but the people who took care of them didn't take good care of them, so they were thin when we slaughtered them.

"Do you want roe deer?" Because I was going to take Luo Ge to the clinic today, the two roe deer might not be willing to follow if they were tied to the back of the ox cart, and they wouldn't fit on the ox cart, so I didn't bring them today.

"Yes." Manager Lin immediately smiled and said, "But I have to take a look first."

Chu Xiao nodded: "Okay, my brother Shen shot it a few days ago. Since it has no injuries and eats whatever it is given, I thought of keeping it at home for a while. After all, it can be sold at a higher price in winter."

Manager Lin, an old fox, naturally knew what Chu Xiao meant. "Don't wait until winter, bring it here tomorrow. If it's an adult roe deer, I'll give you four ounces."

Chu Xiao's eyes narrowed with laughter. An adult roe deer weighs only about 40 to 50 kilograms, and if it can be sold for 400 kilograms, it would be the same price as a doe.

I made a profit this time.
