In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

With Wang Dakuo's repeated farewell.

Shen Qian sat on Wang Daniu's ox cart and headed to the county town to sell tigers!

More than half an hour later.

The familiar tall city walls came into view again.

When Shen Qian was paying the entrance fee, the sharp-eyed soldiers guarding the city suddenly exclaimed!

"Big bug!"

"They actually killed a giant bug!"

Hearing the sound, the city guard who was taking the money from Shen Qian paused.

Then he looked towards Shen Qian's ox cart.

At first glance, I saw the tiger placed in the car!

I was distracted before and almost let the tiger slip away from me!

"Are you entering the city to sell tigers?" the city guard asked Shen Qian.

When Shen Qian saw this, her heart skipped a beat!

Could it be that the city defender wants to exchange the tiger in his hand for a reward?

But the smile on his face still remained:

"Yes, the village killed a tiger in the mountains."

"Let me come to the county town to sell it on your behalf."

After receiving the response, the city defender was in a bit of a dilemma.

Shen Qian cleverly revealed her identity as a seller.

If she was asked to take the tiger as a reward, the woman would probably have to go back to the village to negotiate, and in the end she would be robbed by the merchant.

He could only shake his head and give up. After taking the entrance fee from Shen Qian, he said:

"Go into the city."

The commotion here naturally attracted a lot of people to watch!

They looked at the tiger's corpse and were terrified!

"Is this the big bug?"

"It's almost as long as a person! The hunters in your village are really amazing!"

"Those bared teeth make my calves tremble just by looking at them. You can actually hunt! It's truly amazing!"

"..."

We followed the ox cart into the county town.

More and more people gathered nearby to watch the fun.

For more than a year, there has been no news media, and all gossip and news have to be found in the market.

The people all want to see who will be the winner of this fierce tiger!

Just when Shen Qian was sitting on the ox cart passing by Zou Ji Grain Shop.

The exclamations of the people around him attracted his attention and he drove out of the house.

The owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop looked at Shen Qian and felt that she looked familiar.

Rubbing his eyes insecurely.

Looking again, Shen Qian was already sitting on the ox cart passing by the door of their grain store!

Seeing this, the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop hurriedly ran out and squeezed into the crowd.

When he squeezed next to Shen Qian, he looked at her familiar face and exclaimed:

"It's really you!"

"Huh?" Shen Qian heard the exclamation and made a sound subconsciously.

After seeing that the visitor was the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop, he immediately smiled and said:

“It turned out to be the owner of Zou Ji!”

"Why? Are you also interested in this tiger?"

In response to Shen Qian's question, the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop looked at Shen Qian's car.

After seeing the tiger's true appearance.

I felt a chill in my heart.

Is this a tiger? I had only heard of it and seen pictures of it before, but I never expected a real tiger to be so terrifying.

When Wang Daniu heard Shen Qian's question, he consciously stopped the ox cart.

The two of them, along with the people who followed them nearby, all focused their eyes on the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop.

The owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop is indeed a man who has seen the world.

He was not at all afraid of being stared at by so many eyes.

But think about it carefully.

Tiger skin is a hot commodity in Beijing.

And looking at the tiger's dead appearance, its fur is still intact.

There are just a few small holes, but you can just insert the knife from there.

Even if the boss doesn't praise me after I buy it, I shouldn't be scolded either, right?

Thinking about it, the shopkeeper of Zouji Grain Shop nodded and asked:

"What's the price?"

"You name it and I'll see if it's suitable." This was Shen Qian's first time selling a tiger, so she naturally didn't know the price. So she planned to let the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop name a price first.

She has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run!

The price of a cow has now been driven up to over one hundred taels!

This is a big tiger. Not only does it have meat, but its skin is also rare. How can it be more expensive than cattle?

Not to mention, this is a male tiger.

There is a more precious tiger whip on my body.

The owner of Zou's Grain Shop pondered for a moment. Ever since his last confrontation with Shen Qian, he was a little unsure about the peasant woman in front of him.

He opened his mouth tentatively:

"Eighty taels?"

"Uncle Wang Daniu, let's go!" Shen Qian pretended to call Wang Daniu to drive the ox cart away.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of Zouji Grain Shop hurriedly called for a halt:

"Hey!"

"I made up the story!"

"You just made a false offer, bid properly this time!"

Seeing the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop doing so lowly.

The people in the county were all amazed!

"When has the owner of this Zouji Grain Shop ever acted like this? It's really strange!"

"Who said it wasn't? He always seemed so indifferent when I went to his store to buy food. It turns out he also has times when he needs help!"

"But this guy is really mean! The price of the calf has been raised to 120 taels, and he only offered 80 to the big bug!"

"..."

Listening to the discussions around him, the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop looked calm.

As a human being...especially a businessman, you naturally have a thick skin that is different from that of ordinary people.

"Two hundred taels!" The owner of Zou's Grain Shop immediately offered one hundred and twenty taels.

Shen Qian knew that this was not the limit he could give.

But the other party has already raised the price, and she can't just remain silent.

Shen Qian said lightly:

"If it's only two hundred taels, then I think other wealthy families in the county can afford it."

"This is a male tiger after all."

"Its tiger penis is also a valuable medicinal ingredient."

Now, the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop was in a dilemma.

This woman in front of me knows everything!

It’s hard to judge for yourself.

But he couldn't offer his lowest price all at once, otherwise the woman would definitely not be satisfied and would continue to raise the price.

"Two hundred and fifty taels!"

"This tiger penis can indeed be used as medicine, but even if prices soar, it will not sell for more than fifty taels in a pharmacy!" said the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop with confidence on his face.

But when he saw that Shen Qian still had that calm expression, he felt a little flustered.

Then Shen Qian said indifferently:

"Since the shopkeeper of Zouji thinks that the pharmacy can sell your tiger penis."

"Then please go to the pharmacy and buy it."

"My tiger is not expensive, only six hundred taels!"

If this price were in an era when food prices were stable, it would be nothing but a pipe dream.

The reward from the government was only a hundred taels.

Can merchants pay a premium of six times?

As expected, as soon as Shen Qian mentioned the price, the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop was speechless.

His mouth was so big that it seemed like it could fit a whole apple.

"This...this, this, this!"

"This price is absolutely unacceptable, not to mention that the tiger skin is not complete and has holes here and there. Please find another owner!" After saying this, the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop turned around and walked towards his own shop.

Shen Qian heard him nitpicking and knew that he was not going to give up, so she called out to Wang Daniu without hesitation:

"Big Bull! Drive!"

As soon as the voice fell, Wang Daniu swung the whip in his hand again.

Wang Daniu didn't know that Shen Qian didn't really want to leave, and he didn't understand the business game. He waited for the owner of Zou Ji Grain Shop to make the final offer!

Just whip the car and drive forward!

Shen Qian did not stop him when she saw this. She was sure that the old fox would come back and chase her.

Suddenly, a hurried call came from a distance:

"Auntie, wait a minute!"

"Six hundred taels, my family bought it!"
