An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

When everyone came to the wild goods shop that emitted an unpleasant smell again, Jing Chunxi no longer had the curiosity he had before. He just stood far away across the street and watched quietly.

The smell in the shop was so strong, a mixture of fishy and stinky smells, that people couldn't help but frown and stay away.

She frowned slightly, thinking to herself that if this place was farther away from the market, perhaps the neighbors would not be so affected. However, if this were the case, it might not be so convenient for the shopkeepers to collect wild goods or to trade.

At this time, it was not yet dark, and there were still many people coming to buy living things, and the shop became increasingly busy.

The shopkeeper and a clerk were bustling about, the clerk weighing items while the shopkeeper collected cash. Both moved with swift dexterity, constantly greeting customers. The weight bounced up and down on the beam, and the shopkeeper's fingers moved rapidly across the abacus beads, creating a constant clanking sound.

Two other servants and two women were busy at the two large water vats at the door. They set out two or three large wooden basins, each took a small stool and sat down, and began to butcher the game.

As the hand moved and the knife fell, the animals' cries rose and fell, and the scissors flew in the air, making crisp sounds.

Blood, animal hair and internal organs were thrown on the ground at will. Half of the dumped sewage flowed into the gutter on the side of the street, and the other half remained on the bluestone paved street. The ground was in a mess and it was unbearable to watch.

The air was filled with a pungent smell of blood mixed with the stench of animals, which almost suffocated people.

Chuntao borrowed a small stool from someone and carefully placed it behind Jing Chunxi. "Miss, this is a vent. We'll be quick. Please sit down and wait." She said softly, with a hint of concern in her tone. Jing Chunxi nodded slightly. This girl was indeed attentive.

Jing Chunxi looked at Xiaoman and Chuntao hesitating over there, and whispered to them from behind: "It's too smelly, don't stay too long, leave quickly after you're done." Staying in such a place for a long time will not only make people feel nauseous, but also may cause them to be infected with a bad smell.

When Chuntao heard this, she turned around immediately and responded, "I understand, Miss." She covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, with a look of disgust on her face, and it was obvious that she could not stay for long.

Jing Chunxi sat down and looked towards the market in front of him. The crowds on the originally bustling streets had gradually dispersed, and the people who came to the market were basically gone.

The small stalls that used to sell goods in the middle of the road have disappeared, leaving only the shops on both sides of the street still open.

The women who were still carrying baskets to buy vegetables had anxious looks on their faces. It was obvious that they went out too late and did not buy the right ingredients.

Some women even broke into a trot, clearly hurrying back to cook. The streets were filled with a hurried atmosphere, a stark contrast to the bustling market just now.

"Miss, if you weigh both wild boars, they're only 60 coins per pound. Do you want to kill them together?

The shopkeeper said that after helping us process it, he could chop it into small pieces with the bones and meat, and also said he would give us a big backpack to carry it.

Sister Chuntao also said: "We'll only eat half of it tonight, and stew the rest in the big iron pot on the boat. It will last for several days."

Xiao Man suddenly jumped into the middle of the road and stopped running. She shouted at Jing Chunxi with an extremely excited expression. Chun Tao also turned and nodded towards the young lady. Obviously, the three of them had already discussed it and were just waiting for Jing Chunxi's nod.

Jing Chunxi pondered for a moment, calculating in her mind. This price was quite cheap. She had expected wild boar to cost at least a hundred coins per jin, but unexpectedly, it was only the price of two jin of rice. This was really beyond her expectations.

Then she thought about what Chongsan and the two guards had said earlier: they bought wild pork because it was expensive. She couldn't help but wonder: Could domestic pork be more expensive than wild boar? Could the people in the mountains really be so unpalatable? This was unbelievable!

But since she couldn't buy pork, wild boar meat was a good choice. It was fatty but not greasy, and had a nice chewiness, which she actually preferred.

She imagined that Chongsan and his companions, having bought several baskets of wild game, were probably still busy plucking and gutting the animals on the boat, which was extremely tedious. She couldn't help but feel a little sad: it was really not easy for the shopkeepers to make such a small profit.

Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and said, "This price is cheap, let's buy it."

While her mind was still wandering, Chuntao and Xiaoman had already run back, covering their mouths and noses. Chuntao came back here, even a little disgusted with the handkerchief in her hand, but with a smile on her face: "Miss, it's okay. They will send it to the restaurant after they have processed it, and they will also help us send the chopped wild boar to the boat."

"Miss, guess how much silver the two wild boars cost in total?" Xiaoman looked at Jing Chunxi with a smug expression and a smile on her face.

Jing Chunxi stood up, smoothed the wrinkles on her clothes, smiled slightly, and said, "How much more can it be? One hundred catties is only six taels of silver, and another ten catties won't be more than seven taels." She knew it well. Originally, the shopkeeper said that each pig was only forty or fifty catties. This price was really a good deal.

"What do you think of the young lady's brain? Can she be stumped by you?" Frosting pulled Xiaoman and left, muttering something.

Chuntao and Jing Chunxi walked behind her, with a satisfied smile on her face, as if she had made a great deal.

Chuntao said excitedly: "Four pheasants weighed more than thirteen pounds, and only cost nine cents of silver; Xiaoman said that the yellow leopard was delicious, so she asked for another one, which cost less than two taels of silver; the civet cats were too small, so she weighed two..." As she spoke, she counted on her fingers, her face full of pride.

Finally, Chuntao concluded: "It only cost less than fifteen taels of silver in total."

She turned her eyes full of anticipation, eager to receive the young lady's praise. Jing Chunxi smiled slightly and nodded, feeling quite satisfied, but he only grabbed her hand and shook it.

This time, I was able to buy so many wild products at such a price, which was a pleasant surprise.
