Chapter 52: Bring It Home
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sure enough, after Xue Dafu and the others finished eating the cornbread, they took the three buns and carefully wrapped them up again, ready to take them home.
Jiang Yue looked at them.
Xue Dafu and the others immediately smiled at her. “We’re already full. How can we still eat? let’s bring it home. It’s not a waste.”
This was fine grain. Why did they choose to not eat fine grain? They might not be able to eat fine grain even during the holidays. That was because they simply could not bear to eat it themselves. They wanted to bring it back for the rest of the family to eat. Maybe they would give her another one at night.
Jiang Yue knew, she could tell what they were planning to do. However, Jiang Yue did not say anything else. She looked around and noticed that people were looking over at the area where they collected their prey. They were obviously waiting for them to give up.
They were waiting for Xue Dafu and the others to lose their cool.
If they wanted to sell it for at least eighty silver today, Xue Dafu and the others would have to be more patient than those people.
The bear had not been caught for many years, so he didn’t have to worry about not being able to sell them. Even if he didn’t sell it to those people, he could sell it to others outskirts of town.
Jiang Yue knew that there was an old man who was sitting on a folding stool in the stall next to her. Since it was noon and the old man had already finished his meal, no one came to the stall to buy vegetables. Jiang Yue went over and squatted beside the old man, shouting, “h.e.l.lo.”
“As to you.” The old man was immediately enticed by Jiang Yue’s fair and tender appearance. “You’re such a sweet looking.”
Jiang Yue was a little embarra.s.sed. In fact, she had never been addressed like this in her past life. However, the important matter was her plan.
Jiang Yue didn’t care about the awkwardness and continued, “Can I ask you something?”
“Sure,” The old man looked like a warm-hearted person. He was also extremely surprised that this little child in front of him was so polite. “Ask away. What do you want to know?”
“It’s about the bear. Are those the only people who would accept it?” Jiang Yue pointed at the people who were standing close to the prey.
The bear was so big, and it was placed at the side. A group of people had surrounded it and made a fuss, so the old man naturally knew what she meant.
He said, “I’ve been selling vegetables here for many years. It’s always been like this. Only the people over there buy vegetables. Your family is really powerful, to actually have someone who can beat the blind bear. We don’t even dare to hunt for it.”
“My family didn’t expect it either,” Jiang Yue said with a smile. “Do you know where should we sell the prey instead?”
The old uncle said, “I heard they sell them to the big families in restaurants and towns. Ordinary families can’t afford it, right? Plus, how many of them are willing to buy the whole thing? They have their own connections. Last time, I heard that someone sold that big deer to Lakshimi Restaurant and got more than ten silver.”
“Lakshimi Restaurant?” Jiang Yue immediately caught the main point.
“It’s the biggest restaurant in the town. Usually, hunters that have connections will sell their prey directly to that restaurant. They won’t come here to sell it. The people here have to haggle with the hunters to make some money. They won’t give a lot of silver, but Lakshimi Restaurant will give a higher price.”
“Are there any other restaurants?”
“Only that, the biggest restaurant in our town. All the hunters send their prey there. They don’t need to send people here to collect them.”
“I see…” Jiang Yue muttered to herself as she crafted a plan in her mind.
