Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

"I... I'm alone now and can't eat so much. Just give me a chicken or a rabbit!" Wang Xiang immediately followed.

What he said was true; all his family members died at the hands of bandits, and after returning to the village, he lived alone.

Even if he was given some meat, he couldn't finish it.

Su Qiuyi disagreed with him.

"Brother Xiangzi, it's winter now. Collect the prey and freeze it. It will be enough for you to eat for a long time! At worst, you can sell it and buy food! Winter is hard! You have to think about how to survive the winter!"

After saying that, she looked at the goats and thought about it. Indeed, what they said was right. Almost all of these goats were killed by her and Chu Mingxiao. Then...

"How about this! There are twelve goats. If there are still two left after the five of us share two, I won't be polite. Chu Huai and I will each take one more! We have eaten one pheasant, so there are two left. Plus the five rabbits, you three can take two each! Take whatever you like! I'll cook the rest tomorrow, and we'll have a good meal together! How do you think?"

There was one rabbit and two roe deer left. If they were stewed, they could make a big pot of meat, which a dozen people could not finish.

"This...are they really going to give us so much?" Qin Wei would be lying if he didn't feel tempted, but he felt that if he took it this way, Master Chu Huai and girl Yiyi would suffer.

"Just take it if I give it to you! If you hesitate like this, I won't take you with me when there are any good things in the future!" Su Qiuyi said harshly.

"Take it, take it! If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a fool! Let's take it!" Yang Ruchuan smiled happily. He knew his cousin a little bit. Since she said she would give it to him, it was not just talk. She really wanted to divide it this way.

He was not polite either, mainly because his family conditions did not allow him to be polite.

Although my mother had dozens of taels of silver lent to her by her uncle's family, the Yang family was not like the Su family which had not yet split up, so there was not much left after the whole family repaired the house, bought food, and bought winter clothes.

He had to get some money on himself to feel at ease.

Yang Ruchuan chose to sell these two sheep directly.

He planned to take the remaining two rabbits home to have a meat meal for his family.

Even so, he felt that he was too kind.

Think about my second uncle and his wife. They use the loss of their son as an excuse to get sick every three days or a serious illness every five days. They use all kinds of excuses to avoid working. Not to mention rabbits, he doesn't even want to let them eat rabbit poop.

"Well, let's sell my sheep too. It's too much of a luxury for me to eat meat every day. I want to sell it and get money to buy food! So I can eat for a longer time."

Wang Xiang also followed Yang Ruchuan and chose to sell the sheep.

Qin Wei immediately said, "I'll sell them too. Who can afford to eat two sheep? It's a good year to have these two pheasants!"

In this way, the three people decided to sell the six sheep.

"Do you know how much a sheep costs outside? How do you buy it?" Su Qiuyi asked.

She didn't want to sell it, but wanted to clean it up and freeze it for the whole family to eat.

But I still want to sell more money for them, it's not easy for everyone.

"I think this sheep is quite fat, so it should be able to sell for a good price. However, I have never sold one before, so I don't know the price..."

Qin Wei took over Yang Ruchuan's words and said, "I know the approximate price. Our sheep can probably be sold for 800 coins each. If it's higher, it depends on luck. If a wealthy family takes a fancy to it, they may pay dozens more coins!"

"So much?" Wang Xiang was excited. His two sheep were worth one tael and six cents of silver. He had never seen so much silver before. After calculating, this silver was enough for him to buy some seeds for planting his three acres of land next year.

There is no need to worry about food this winter.

"Is there anyone selling mutton in our town? If we prepare the meat and sell it by pound, will we get more?" Su Qiuyi asked.

She felt that there were still not many people who could afford to buy a whole sheep, unless it was sold in a restaurant.

But restaurants and hotels might lower the price, plus they only have six of them... If Chu Mingxiao sells them, it will be nine.

Su Laosan was more familiar with the situation in the town. He nodded and said, "There is a shop selling mutton in the town. One pound seems to cost between thirty and forty cents! There are not many people raising sheep, so mutton is scarce, so it will be a bit more expensive."

Su Qiuyi thought about it, turned around and walked towards the room where Chu Mingxiao lived, saying, "Wait for me a moment!"

When people arrived at Chu Mingxiao's room, they saw that he had just finished eating chicken porridge and was sitting on the edge of the bed. He was covered with a quilt and his lips were pale. It seemed that he had lost too much blood.

Seeing her come in, Chu Mingxiao raised his eyes and glanced at her, then said softly, "Are you willing to come in and see me?"

Su Qiuyi was puzzled. She was still angry and didn't know what was wrong with her.

He walked to the edge of the bed, stood still, and said, "We've divided up the prey we hunted, and I gave you three sheep! Do you plan to keep them for yourself or sell them?"

She didn't have time to settle accounts with him for tricking her. Making money was the most important thing now.

Her plan to take advantage of the situation and launder her money had failed, and she still had to think of a way out.

Chu Mingxiao shook his head slowly, "I gave it all to you! I don't want it!"

Su Qiuyi looked over and said, "Hmm? Give them all to me?"

"Well! Anyway, I'm eating at your house, so you can deal with the prey!"

Chu Mingxiao nodded.

He clearly felt that the little black girl was angry, so in order to make up for his calculations, he tried his best to make her happy.

If he had no other choice, he would not have plotted against her.

However, Qinghe Mountain was well defended. If he went up the mountain alone or with his men, he would never be able to get close to the foot of the mountain.

Those people know the nearby villagers, and if they just go into the mountains to hunt, they won't care in order to avoid being exposed.

If those villagers who went into the mountains to hunt discovered anything, the worst that could happen was that they would be killed.

He could only sneak in by following a few people into the mountains to hunt, but he knew that they would not be in danger, so he dared to bring people with him.

But now, he had no way to explain so much, and the only thing he could do was to coax the girl.

"Then I'll sell it as your consultation fee! Don't worry! I won't count on your money or take advantage of you!"

Su Qiuyi left after saying a few words and walked out without even looking back. He didn't even glance at the wound on Chu Mingxiao's body.

When she said this, she seemed to have forgotten that Chu Mingxiao had to pay five taels of silver a day for food expenses. But that was true, since he didn't pay a penny anyway.

She is not a saint. If she uses her own medicine to save him after being plotted against like this, she will be so angry that she will die.

Anyway, he won't die, so he deserves to suffer more.

After going out, Su Qiuyi took a few people to start packing up. It was almost dawn when the twelve sheep were packed up.

Everyone worked all night and got all the mutton out.

Su Qiuyi cut up his three sheep and put them into a large vat outside the window to freeze them. The meat and bones of the three sheep weighed more than 260 kilograms, which showed that the sheep were quite fat.

After simply drinking a bowl of hot porridge, early in the morning, he pushed a cart and took Yang Ruchuan and the other two to the street to set up a stall to sell mutton.

After the nine sheep were cleaned, the fat mutton made people drool.

Servants who came out to buy things on the street early in the morning and restaurant managers were attracted by their mutton and gathered around.

Su Qiuyi was busy weighing and collecting money with the antique scale he bought from Bai Xiaojing.

More and more people gathered around, and the men selling meat were sweating profusely.
