The stepsister of a peasant family in a book is spoiled by the big brothers

When Li Taohua heard that Qin Huiyin was going to follow Song Ruize into the county town, she refused to agree and kept asking Song Ruize to stay away from her.

Qin Huiyin said all the nice things to coax her, and finally agreed to let Tang Luwu accompany her.

Of course, she hoped to go with him. But Qin Huiyin knew that Li Taohua particularly disliked Song Ruize. If she went with him, her relationship with Song Ruize, which had just improved, would definitely fall to the freezing point again. In order to maintain the good relationship she had built over this period of time, she came up with various reasons to persuade her, and finally made her give up the idea.

Since we knew we wouldn't have time to get back to the city now, we had to grab some food. Luckily, they had made a lot of scallion pancakes during practice today, so we could take them with us on the road or eat them when we were hungry at night.

In addition to scallion pancakes, they also brought a few bamboo buckets of clean water.

Master Tang San was driving an ox cart. Because there was a wild ox lying in the back with its eyes open, Tang Luwu was a little scared and sat next to Master Tang San.

Qin Huiyin and Song Ruize stayed with the dead bison.

Song Ruize leaned on the hay and closed his eyes to take a nap.

In fact, he couldn't sleep.

He listened to the even breathing of the girl next to him, opened his eyes and looked over, just in time to see the girl's head about to lean towards the bison's corpse.

He stretched out his hand to stop her, and his palm touched the girl's cheek. When his calloused palm touched the little face as tender as white tofu, he instinctively closed it, fearing that the calluses on his hands would scratch her skin.

Qin Huiyin's head encountered resistance and moved in another direction.

Two hours later, they arrived at the county town.

They visited several beautifully decorated restaurants, but were driven away before they even met the person in charge.

"Bison meat isn't very tasty. The people in the restaurant are all big customers, so it's normal that they don't want to buy it." Mr. Tang San said, "It's better to sell it to the butcher."

"It's not just that bison meat doesn't taste good, it's also because beef isn't a necessity. If they buy a bison and the customer really likes it, how will they buy another cow? Isn't cattle a prohibited product? Without official permission, they can't sell beef at all."

"That's true. Third Grandpa is right. Why don't we sell it to the butcher? Even though it's a little less, it should still be sellable."

"Normal pork costs thirteen wen per jin (approximately 100g), and official beef is thirty wen per jin (approximately 100g). But this is wild beef, and its texture isn't as good as domesticated cattle. Seven or eight wen per jin (approximately 100g) is considered high. Excluding the rest of the cow's body, this one weighs at most a hundred jin (approximately 100g)."

"Less than a tael of silver?" Mr. Tang San shook his head. "That's not worth it. We didn't come all this way for a few hundred coins."

Everyone looked at Song Ruize.

The prey is his, and he should have the final say.

"I know a housekeeper of a wealthy family, maybe I can sell it to him." Song Ruize said calmly.

"Yes, wealthy families would definitely like to collect rare wild animals, maybe they can actually sell them. Quickly show us the way, we'll go ask them now."

Song Ruize: "..."

In fact, if he was alone here, he would not have gone to the housekeeper of that wealthy family. That person owed him a favor, and he didn't want to use it here.

Seeing how worried they were about the bison, he suggested the retreat plan without much thought.

At the Ouyang Mansion, as the group arrived at the gates of the mansion in their ox carts, they saw a horse carriage parked there. They drove the cart farther away and then stopped, and the occupant stepped out on a horse stool. The man was dressed in a brocade robe, followed by an attendant armed with a sword. His presence was remarkable, clearly no ordinary person.

"We've arrived at the perfect time. We have a distinguished guest in the mansion today," Qin Huiyin said. "Song Ruize, we've found a place to buy your bison. We'll definitely be able to sell it today."

"This is the main gate. Rich families won't let us go through the main gate." Song Ruize said calmly.

"It's okay, let's go through the back door. We are not high-ranking officials, so it's normal that we can't enter through the main gate." Qin Huiyin looked indifferent.

Everyone came to the back door again.

Song Ruize knocked on the door, called their second butler, and asked the servant who opened the door to pass the message.

They waited for a long time, and just when they thought there was no hope, the chubby second butler came excitedly.

"Brother Song, I'm sorry. I'm so rude. We have a distinguished guest today, and I've been very busy. When I heard you were here, I immediately asked one of my men to take over for a while and came to find you."

Qin Huiyin was a little curious. How could Song Ruize, a taciturn man who couldn't utter a single word for a long time, know such a smooth-talking person?

"Uncle, you are so busy and yet you still come to see my brother. It seems that you are really a very warm-hearted person as my brother said." Qin Huiyin said with a smile.

Song Ruize was stunned for a moment: "..."

He looked at Qin Huiyin in confusion.

"Are you Brother Song's sister?" the second housekeeper asked in surprise, "Brother Song has such a beautiful sister."

"Yes, I'm my brother's sister." Qin Huiyin said, "Uncle, my brother hunted a wild buffalo. Since you have distinguished guests in the mansion, why don't I give it to you as an extra dish?"

Tang Luwu opened her mouth, her face full of confusion.

deliver?

If I sell it to a butcher, I can at least make a few hundred coins. If I give it away for free, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Tang Luwu thought that this was Song Ruize's thing, and was worried that Qin Huiyin's self-willed behavior would anger him, so she nervously tugged at Qin Huiyin's sleeve.

Mr. Tang San didn't understand at first, but he quickly realized what was going on, and his eyes changed when he looked at Qin Huiyin again.

She understands the ways of the world so well at such a young age. This girl will have a great future!

Song Ruize didn't say anything.

The second steward stroked his beard, looked at the buffalo behind the cart, and said with a smile, "How can I take your things for free? I'll buy this buffalo for ten taels of silver."

Tang Luwu held her heart tightly, trying hard to control herself from screaming.

Today was really thrilling.

"A bison like this shouldn't be that expensive. How about this, uncle is so generous, I can't be stingy. My ancestors were royal chefs, and they know some recipes that others don't. Why don't I use this bison to make a few new dishes for you, my distinguished guests?" Qin Huiyin said, "Of course, your family must have many great chefs, and I definitely don't mean to show off my skills. I just want to express my gratitude to you, uncle."

"This..." The second butler hesitated.

They are all outsiders. If he rashly brings them in and something happens, his position as the second steward will be over.

"If you feel embarrassed, forget it. This bison won't cost ten taels of silver. Don't let us suffer a loss. It will make us look ignorant." Qin Huiyin said, "My brother is usually taciturn. Don't mind it. It's just his nature."

It was rare for Song Ruize to have such an opportunity. He was not good at speaking, so she helped him say a few more words to maintain his interpersonal relationships so that he could do business next time.
