Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

“Okay.” Fang Xin readily agreed: “Then I’ll go find Uncle Liu, who drives the oxcart, now.”

Li looked up at the sky, somewhat worried: "It's getting late, I'm afraid we won't make it in time."

Fang Yu comforted her, "Mother, don't worry, we'll definitely be back before dark."

Fang Xin quickly brought Uncle Liu over, and the group worked together to put the wild boar on the car.

Uncle Liu laughed and said, "I thought they were talking nonsense, but I didn't expect you two sisters to actually kill a wild boar."

Fang Yu casually replied, "Uncle Liu is joking. We don't have that ability. If we were to catch it, the wild boar would have run into a tree and died on its own."

We were supposed to go together, but the wild boars took up too much space, and there wasn't enough room on the oxcart.

Fang Yu could say she had forgotten when she last went to the city, but Fang Xin often went with her to sell herbs and was very familiar with the city.

Madam Li said, "You two sisters have never been to the city together before. Go early and come back early today. I'll tidy up the house and wait for you to return."

The oxcart arrived in a quarter and a half hour.

Qingshan City.

As the sun began to set, a steady stream of people continued to move through the ancient city gates.

The oxcart made its way into the city, where magnificent buildings and bustling shops lined both sides of the street, a stark contrast to Xishan Village.

Uncle Liu stopped the oxcart in the backyard of Tianxianglou, pointed ahead and said, "Sister Yu, the game that the villagers hunt is all delivered here. You two go and ask first. If they accept it, it will save you two sisters from having to make another trip."

Fang Yuping thanked him in a low voice: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Uncle Liu."

"Don't mention it. We're all from the same village. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know."

The two sisters walked toward the main entrance of Tianxiang Tower, while Fang Yu looked around at the unfamiliar streets as she walked.

Fang Xin touched the medicine in her arms, but her mind was on the pharmacy. Her sister said she was cured, but she didn't believe it. She had been sick for more than ten years. How could she suddenly get better? Her sister must be just putting on a brave face.

The medicine she collected was the main ingredient; the doctor said that some other medicines would be needed to cure her sister's headache.

A waiter stood at the entrance of Tianxianglou, a white handkerchief draped over his shoulder, enthusiastically soliciting customers.

Fang Xin stopped and looked at the people in brocade robes coming and going. Although she often came to the city, restaurants like Tianxianglou were beyond her reach.

Fang Yu took her hand and said, "Xin'er, let's go inside."

They had assumed the staff at the gate would treat them like beggars and send them away.

When the shop assistant saw the two sisters approach, noticing their simple attire, he asked in a casual tone, "Are you here to sell something?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Fang Yu's eyes. She nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, young man. We brought a wild boar with us. It's in the backyard. I wonder if Tianxiang Restaurant would take it?"

"Come with me." The waiter led the two of them inside.

There weren't many people dining in the restaurant lobby at this hour; there were only two or three tables in total.

Fang Xin nervously pressed down on the hem of her clothes, glancing at the steaming dishes on other people's tables. She couldn't help but swallow, "They smell so good!"

The waiter led them inside to meet someone.

"Manager Sun, these two young ladies are here to sell wild boar."

Fang Yu pulled Fang Xin and gave a slight bow: "Manager Sun."

Manager Sun put down the ledger in his hand, glanced at them briefly, then stood up, and the group walked towards the backyard.

The waiter opened the back gate, and Uncle Liu was waiting outside.

Fang Yu pointed to the wild boar on the oxcart and said, "Manager Sun, what do you think of this wild boar?"

Manager Sun carefully examined the wild boar, then glanced at the two sisters' patched clothes. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I will take it, but business has been tough lately, so the price may be a little lower than usual. What do you two ladies think?"

Manager Sun was telling the truth. This year's harvest in Qingshan City was not good. It was the owner who was considerate of the people and generously donated money, instructing them to accept the wild game sent by the nearby villagers.

Is business difficult?

Fang Yu looked up and glanced at the Tianxiang Restaurant. It had four floors and was considered one of the top restaurants in Qingshan City. It didn't seem to be doing badly, so there might be some other reason.

Well, if we don't sell, they're not familiar with other restaurants, and it's getting late, so we can't delay any longer.

The wild boar was an unexpected bonus, and Fang Yu didn't intend to make a fortune from it. Besides, the restaurant was recommended by Uncle Liu, so Fang Yu naturally trusted it.

She nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Wild boars are small and not worth much, but Manager Sun offered a reasonable price, which was also out of consideration for the two sisters' hard work.

When twelve taels of silver were handed over, Fang Xin almost jumped up in excitement; she had never seen so much silver in her life.

Although the amount of money was not much, judging from Manager Sun's calm expression, this price was already the limit.

Fang Yu accepted the silver, and Manager Sun still added, "Miss, you can send over any other prey you have in the future."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Sun."

After leaving the backyard, Uncle Liu, fearing that Fang Yu was not satisfied with the price, explained, "The wild boar that someone else in the village brought last time was much bigger than your head, and Manager Sun only gave this price."

"Uncle Liu, thank you for bringing us here. This price is very good. If we went to other restaurants, we might not be able to get the same price as Manager Sun."

Fang Yu stuffed a small piece of silver into Uncle Liu's hand: "Uncle Liu, please accept this."

"You silly girl." Uncle Liu refused to speak, but instead backed down a bit: "It's just a matter of saying a few words, there's no need for all this. If you really want to thank Uncle, just give him two copper coins for the oxcart."

Fang Yu insisted on giving him the money: "Uncle Liu, you must accept it. Our family will need your help a lot in the future."

Uncle Liu was there when they were cleaning up the yard earlier. Even though he knew they had been kicked out and were penniless, he still helped them so kindly. Fang Yu was determined to thank him no matter what.

After a moment of silence, Fang Xin finally spoke up: "Uncle Liu, please accept it. I'll be troubling you quite often in the future."

Since the two sisters insisted, Uncle Liu didn't refuse and accepted the money.

But he also secretly made up his mind that he would do his best to help the two sisters if they ever needed anything in the future.

To save time, the two sisters split up to buy the things they needed for the family, while Uncle Liu waited for them at the city gate.

Fang Yu's figure merged into the street bathed in the glow of the sunset. Only then did she notice that there was another restaurant diagonally opposite Tianxianglou, called Jufulou.

Looking from the entrance, there were quite a few people eating inside, making Tianxianglou slightly inferior in comparison.
