Chapter 45 Carrying a Big Bear with One Hand
Li Qingqing was in a hurry to deliver the goods and didn't notice that she was seen by an acquaintance.
She never knew that Qiu Shui Town, which was usually deserted, would be filled with so many people on market day.
Seeing that the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, she was afraid that the road would be blocked, so she had to speed up the cart and rush towards the kitchen of Zuiyuexuan.
Shopkeeper Qi was in the kitchen at this time. He was a little anxious today. The young master of Zuiyuexuan had come to Zuiyuexuan yesterday afternoon, but there was no sign of the big prey he had promised to send to Li Qingqing.
He was eager to show off in front of the young master.
He instructed his servant to notify him immediately if Li Qingqing arrived.
Shopkeeper Qi paced back and forth outside the kitchen, his brow furrowed, pondering something in his mind.
The young master said that he would be staying in Zuiyuexuan recently. From what he said, it seemed that someone was missing, so the young master came to Qiu Shui Town to see if he could find that person here.
Shopkeeper Qi didn't know who the young master was looking for. He felt that this matter was very mysterious. These days, if you lost someone, there was a high probability that you would never find them again.
But since the young master has decided to live in Zuiyuexuan permanently, he must cheer up and run the restaurant well.
If he could gain the favor of the young master, there would be many benefits. Maybe he could even be transferred to the county town!
He was fed up with staying in Qiu Shui Town. There were no ingredients, and every day he had the same tired signature dishes. Not only did the diners have complaints, even he, the restaurant manager, would get tired of eating only the same old dishes every day.
Fortunately, thanks to the fresh prey sent by Li Qingqing these days, business is much better than before. When the young master came yesterday, he saw that the restaurant was doing good business and praised him!
In particular, the pheasant stewed with wild mushrooms received a very good response from diners. The appearance of this dish has retained many customers.
I made this for the young master yesterday, and he praised the dish as a perfect match. If Li Qingqing hasn't delivered any new prey today, I will continue to make a dish of pheasant stewed with wild mushrooms for the young master!
At this moment, a waiter came running over and reported breathlessly: "Shopkeeper Qi, Miss Li is here!"
Shopkeeper Qi suddenly perked up, quickly straightened his clothes, and walked out to greet him.
He saw Li Qingqing pushing a cart towards him, and on the cart lay a huge prey. Shopkeeper Qi took a closer look and his mouth opened with joy.
Oh my! Miss Li is amazing! This is really a big black bear!
"Miss Li, you're finally here!" Shopkeeper Qi walked over with a smile on his face. "I didn't expect you to actually bring a big black bear!"
Look at this black bear, there is still blood dripping from its body, it is obviously fresh.
Li Qingqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, nodded and said, "Shopkeeper Qi, where should we put this black bear?"
"Just put it here." Shopkeeper Qi pointed to the open space next to him and quickly called on his men to come and carry the black bear.
But when he turned around, he found that Li Qingqing had already picked up the black bear, which scared him so much that he was stunned!
Wow! This girl looks gentle and weak, but she can actually carry a big bear with one hand! What supernatural power!
Such people must be made friends with.
"Li, Miss Li!" Shopkeeper Qi stuttered as he spoke. He watched Li Qingqing lift up the black bear and move it to the designated location.
Only then did he gather his composure and speak somewhat normally: "I won't weigh this black bear, I'll just give you three hundred taels, is that okay with you?"
"Okay! Manager Qi, you have the final say! But, can you pay in cash?" Li Qingqing blinked. This black lump is actually worth three hundred taels?
This surprised her.
She has been a little worried recently. If Zhou An concentrates on studying for the exam in the future, the expenses will definitely be higher. Should the family find a way to make money?
Manager Qi's words suddenly opened up new ideas for her.
Shopkeeper Qi didn't know why Li Qingqing wanted the cash, but when he thought about how strong Li Qingqing was and how she should be able to carry a mere three hundred taels, he told his men to pack up the cash quickly.
When Li Qingqing saw this huge bag of cash weighing more than 20 kilograms, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Fortunately, I have space. If it were someone else, wouldn’t they be exhausted to death if they took a few more taels of silver with them?
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Qi. When will you need prey next time?"
Li Qingqing pondered in her heart, thinking that since Shopkeeper Qi had obtained a black bear today, he would probably have to sell it for a while.
She still had about two carts of prey in her space. If Shopkeeper Qi didn't need them recently, she planned to take advantage of the large crowds at the market today to sell some of them.
Just selling some small prey like rabbits will not cause any conflicts with Manager Qi's restaurant.
If they were big ones, she could take them to the next town or county to sell them.
There are many prey in the back mountain, and hunting for her is purely a form of field training, which can also improve her overall strength.
Moreover, after the prey is caught, it is directly thrown into the space without the trouble of transporting it by vehicles and horses. This is a free business with no capital cost!
In her previous life, she was obsessed with martial arts and medicine, and had little exposure to business, so she couldn't say she had any talent.
At most, I can bring the business ideas I have seen in my previous life to this Dayuan Kingdom.
If she could meet a major shareholder who was good at business, she could consider cooperating with him. She would be responsible for coming up with business ideas, while he would be responsible for operations.
But it is probably difficult to find such a major shareholder. Li Qingqing is just thinking about it and does not have any extravagant hopes.
If there was really no other way, she could actually learn how to do business. But that was a matter for the future, to be discussed later.
After listening to Li Qingqing's question, Shopkeeper Qi thought about it carefully. The black bear was indeed quite big, but the restaurant's business had picked up recently, so it might be sold out within ten days.
It is even very likely that the young master would arrange for someone to pickle the black bear with salt and then send it to the branch next door.
After thinking for a moment, Shopkeeper Qi replied, "Miss Li, you can send another batch of prey in about ten days."
After hearing this, Li Qingqing made a plan in her mind. She said goodbye to Shopkeeper Qi and said that she would definitely deliver the prey on time.
"Miss Li, a few days ago, Mr. Liu sent someone to inquire about you. You have to be careful recently. Mr. Liu likes to rob beautiful women. You have to be careful!"
Because Li Qingqing didn't have a married woman's hairstyle, Shopkeeper Qi assumed she wasn't married. Worried that it would be unsafe for a young woman to go out alone, he kindly reminded her.
"Okay, I got it. Thank you, Manager Qi!" Li Qingqing bowed and said goodbye, then walked out of the Zuiyuexuan kitchen carrying a large bag of silver.
Shopkeeper Qi was extremely careful. He wrapped the silver several times and then put it into a thick cloth bag. At first glance, others would not imagine that it was silver.
After Li Qingqing left, Shopkeeper Qi ran excitedly to the second floor of Zuiyuexuan to look for the young master.
Little did they know that at this moment, Xie Xuan'an, the young master of Zuiyuexuan Restaurant, happened to see this scene by chance in front of the second-floor window.
Although Xie Xuan'an was shocked by the woman's strength, he was now anxiously looking for someone, so he just took a quick glance and then thought about what to do next.
For the past twenty days, Xie Xuan'an has been traveling around the towns under the jurisdiction of Yuntai County in order to secretly look for someone.
He didn't dare to search in a high-profile manner for fear of being discovered.
But so far, the person he is looking for is still nowhere to be found. How can he not be anxious?
There are only four towns in Yuntai County, and now only Qiu Shui Town has not been searched.
If I still can't find it, or if someone else finds it first...
The consequences...will probably be disastrous!
