Chapter 150 62
Manager Tian looked at the father and son in silence for a while and nodded.
“Yes, but give me the best meat.
Twenty pickled rabbits, one hundred catties of wild boar meat, and one hundred catties of wolf meat are needed.
The little meat you brought is not enough! When can you send it to me?"
"The steward was very generous. He brought out exactly twenty pickled rabbits. The remaining meat will be delivered before noon." Lin Shu puffed out her chest and promised.
Lin Erzhuang's face twitched. There were clearly twenty-two of them when he was preparing them, but how come there are only twenty now?
Although Lin Erzhuang was confused, he did not ask in person.
Lin Erzhuang put down the backpack and counted the animals one by one in front of him.
"Butler, it's just right."
He handed the backpack to the steward, and then wrapped up the two rabbits he had taken out earlier and put them together.
Manager Tian nodded with a smile, thinking that this father and son were good at handling things.
"Wait, I'll get you the silver right away."
Manager Tian stretched out his white and tender hands to lift the backpack, but he failed to lift it, so he shouted towards the gate.
"Shunzi, come out quickly."
Soon, a young man in a blue shirt ran out of the gate. His cotton coat and hat were almost new and had no patches on them.
"You two can go to the gatehouse and sit by the fire and have a cup of hot tea to warm yourselves."
After Manager Tian invited the person into the gatehouse, he left in a hurry.
After a cup of tea, Manager Tian came out with a small cloth bag.
He sent the gatekeeper away before opening the cloth bag.
Four large silver ingots were displayed in front of the father and son.
"It's all collected. Deliver the remaining meat on time and pay for it on delivery."
"Don't worry, manager. We will go back and deliver it right away." Lin Erzhuang took the silver ingot, put it in his arms and said solemnly.
"Okay, I'll send Shunzi to wait here and send him over to find him." Manager Tian escorted the father and son out the door.
As soon as she went out, Lin Shu couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
She really didn't expect that a pickled rabbit could be sold for ten taels of silver.
It seems that the meat shortage in the entire county is extremely serious. No wonder the stall owner charges twenty taels of silver for a bucket of臊子.
She thought the manager would bargain, but he didn't even mention it.
It is indeed a wealthy family, even the manager is generous.
"Dad, let's go to the restaurant tomorrow to check it out." Lin Shu said expectantly.
“Of course, I can, but I’m afraid the restaurant can’t give me that price.
You should be mentally prepared and don't cry when the time comes." Lin Erzhuang joked.
"You underestimate me too much, who am I?
Nothing can defeat me, I am an indestructible cockroach." Lin Shu said confidently.
The rabbits in her space have bred several litters. Judging from the current market conditions, she can make a lot of money just by selling rabbit meat along the way.
Even in a year of famine, there are still many benefits!
...
The father and daughter used the money they earned from selling the pickled rabbit meat to go shopping along the way.
Brown sugar, sugar, maltose, and dried fruit pastries.
As long as Lin Shu took a closer look, Lin Erzhuang would generously buy a few kilograms.
After filling a backpack, I would find a secluded place to put the goods away and then continue shopping.
Even though these are just small items, they have risen sharply as prices in the county have risen.
If you calculate it carefully, it is about four times higher than the usual price.
Silver also flowed out in a rush, and a large silver ingot was soon spent, but the father and son didn't even blink an eye.
Seeing that the agreed time was approaching, Lin Shu put the backpack into the space.
A tightly covered cart came out of a quiet alley.
"Crunch~"
The cart groaned as it could not bear the heavy load.
Lin Erzhuang put his daughter on the cart and said in a humming voice.
"Sit tight, Dad is pulling the cart."
"Let's go!"
Lin Shu waved her little arm, her eyes full of smiles.
The thought of having another four hundred taels of silver in her account made her happier than when she had looted a large amount of gold and silver from the bandit's lair.
I feel very at ease when I earn the money with my own hands.
However, the lump of ice under my butt was both cold and uncomfortable.
This is very unpleasant.
...
"I'm coming!"
Shunzi, who was guarding the door, stretched his neck and started shouting when he saw the cart appear.
"Squeak~"
Lin Shu jumped down from the cart and spoke to the person who was looking out the door in a familiar manner.
"Brother Shunzi, we have delivered the goods. Please inform the steward."
She skillfully stuffed a handful of copper coins into Shunzi's cotton coat pocket.
Shunzi was so happy that he narrowed his eyes and said simply.
"Wait, little brother. I'll report it right away."
Lin Shu turned around and looked at Lin's father proudly, with a look that looked like she was begging for praise.
"Shu'er, this is it. Daddy has to learn from you."
Lin Erzhuang gave his daughter a thumbs up. From the fact that she silently gave the steward two rabbits, it could be seen that his daughter had extraordinary ideas.
He is even more insightful about interpersonal relationships.
When Manager Tian came out, he was followed by Shunzi and another servant, both of them holding scales and baskets in their hands.
When they weighed the meat in person, they found that the frozen wild boar meat and wolf meat weighed 110 kilograms each.
Of course, the extra meat will be a benefit to Manager Tian.
The deal was done and both parties said goodbye with satisfaction.
...
Lin Erzhuang was so happy that he put Lin Shu in the backpack again.
Before the silver had even warmed up, he gave it all to Lin Shu.
He had nothing on him except some loose change.
When I returned to the inn, there was a baby and more than ten kilograms of coarse salt in the backpack.
As soon as you enter the inn, you can smell the smell of fireworks and food.
Looking closely, every family was cooking lunch on a stove in the corridor.
Amid the smoke and fire, people are cooking porridge, stir-frying vegetables, stewing meat, steaming buns, and making pancakes.
Lin Shu only needed to smell it to know what was cooking in those pots.
Only a few people had meat to eat, and her family was one of the few among them.
Mrs. Wu and Lin Hongyi were busy in front of two stoves.
When Lin Shu entered the room, she saw that the floor was filled with things and there was no place to step.
The three brothers were sitting on the kang with several paper packages in front of them.
"Little sister, come quickly."
When Lin Hongqing saw her appear, he waved to her like a lucky cat.
Baozi, who hadn't been seen for a long time, jumped over and blocked her feet, preventing her from leaving.
He raised his head and swung his tail, as if he hadn't seen it for 800 years.
Lin Shu bent down, lifted up the bun, and said face to face.
"Baozi, I miss you!"
"Woo~"
A light flashed in Baozi's eyes, and he put his head on Lin Shu's shoulder seriously.
The intimacy between a person and their pet cannot be interfered with by outsiders at all.
Lin Shu sat on the edge of the kang holding a bun and watched her twin brothers present their treasures.
Sesame stalks, maltose, maltose, candied fruit, sugar balls, and rock sugar cubes.
"Little sister, you eat first, this is what we bought for you.
Just tell us what you want to eat and we’ll buy it for you.
We are not short of money!"
Lin Hongqing eagerly stuffed the candy ball into her mouth and swallowed his saliva unconsciously.
“After you eat, we’ll eat.
It smells so good, I see a lot of people buying it.
Hey, they didn’t buy as much as we did.”
Crunchy sugar balls with a layer of icing sugar on the outside and a deep fried flour ball on the inside.
When you take a bite, it makes a crispy sound.
"It's delicious, brothers, eat it too."
Lin Shu half-closed her eyes, looking very enjoyable.
The brothers all smiled when they saw this, then they took a candy ball and put it in their mouths, savoring it carefully.
