Lin Jiuyue quickly lifted up the oilcloth on the trolley with quick eyes and hands.

"Master, these are some dried vegetables at home. We haven't finished eating them yet. My grandma asked us to take them into the city and sell them to see if we can exchange them for two copper coins."

"You also know that we in the countryside don't have much good things..."

The soldier waved his hand in disgust.

I thought that the trolley was pulling some good things, but I didn't expect that they were all worthless things. It seemed that there was no money to be made this time.

The last thing I wanted to do was to work as an errand at the gate of the city, without getting any profit at all. Still exposed to wind and sun. What we face all day long are either disaster victims or these poor peasants who can’t squeeze out a few ounces of oil.

"My lord, if you don't mind it, can you take some back and taste it?"

Lin Jiuyue took a handful and handed it to the guarding soldier, who waved his hand. A 'selfless' look.

But Lin Jiuyue still saw the disgust in the soldier's eyes.

Also, I was able to collect copper coins from others but did not give them convenience. In the end, I did not return the copper coins to them. How can such a person be truly selfless?

"Okay, okay, you'd better stay and exchange for copper coins. Let's go quickly."

Lin Jiuyue didn't force himself, he just smiled like a dog, and then nodded gratefully to the soldier to thank him.

The aunt on the side breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had successfully entered the city.

"Go quickly. Buy your things early and go back early. Your family won't have to wait too long."

Lin Jiuyue thanked him again before leaving with Gu Chengyan.

There were not only the villagers' things on the cart, but also the most valuable thing. That's tiger skin.

The tiger skin was disposed of by Gu Chengyan. This time he came to the city to sell the tiger skin and exchange it for copper coins before buying other things.

"Let's go sell the tiger skins first, and then go shopping together after the tiger skins are sold."

Lin Jiuyue wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it, with Gu Chengyan's temperament, he would sell it for as much money as others said, and he didn't know how much less money he would have to sell for.

After thinking about it, I still feel uneasy.

"I will go with you."

Gu Chengyan was also afraid that Lin Jiuyue would get lost.

Although this girl has great strength, she is still a girl after all, and her face has been washed clean in order to enter the city this time. Although she is a refugee, her appearance can still make people shine.

For this girl's safety, it's better to go together.

After some inquiring, the two finally found out about a shop specializing in fur sales.

Lin Jiuyue guarded the cart while Gu Chengyan went to the shop to inquire about the price.

After a while, Gu Chengyan came out, followed by a man who looked like he was in charge.

"Where is the tiger skin? Where is it? Are you lying to me?"

When the man came out and didn't see the tiger skin, he thought Gu Chengyan was deceiving him and felt a little unhappy.

"Shopkeeper, you also know what kind of time it is now. This tiger skin is precious, so naturally it cannot be exposed to the public's eyes. Naturally, it must be covered up."

Gu Chengyan pointed at the trolley as he spoke.

Only then did the person called the shopkeeper turn his attention to the cart in front of Lin Jiuyue.

"Then let's talk in the backyard."

The people who can sell tiger skins cannot be ordinary people. They are either wealthy people who have gone bankrupt and exchange tiger skins for money, or they are capable hunters.

No matter what it is, the man doesn't want to offend.

After all, people like this might have other business to do in the future.

Gu Chengyan nodded. When Lin Jiuyue heard this, he quickly pushed the cart toward the backyard the man mentioned.

When they got to the backyard, Lin Jiuyue took out the tiger skin hidden at the bottom of the cart.

"Shopkeeper, this is the tiger skin we want to sell. Let's see how much it's worth in silver."

As soon as the tiger skin was presented in front of the man, the man saw that it did not look like it had been made. I guessed that the tiger skin must have been hunted.

At this moment, I didn’t dare to look down on Gu Chengyan and the two of them.

"May I ask, little brother, where does this tiger skin come from?"

Gu Chengyan frowned.

"Shopkeeper, this tiger skin was hunted by my brother and sister. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Gu Chengyan was sure that his method of handling the tiger skin was correct.

"It's not a problem, I just asked casually. I didn't realize that this little brother, oh, no, it's you two brothers who are so capable of hunting big insects."

Gu Chengyan clasped his fists.

"It's not really about my ability, it's just a matter of luck."

The man laughed "haha" twice.

"Little brother, be humble. This big bug is not that easy to hunt. If you are not careful, you will fall into the big bug's mouth. The big bugs that the little brother and sister can hunt are really admirable."

The man said politely while inspecting the tiger skin.

After a while, the man put down the tiger skin in his hand.

"Little brother, I think your tiger skin is quite well made. I didn't expect that little brother can even handle the fur. It's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea water cannot be measured."

"Where there is, I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

The man understood that Gu Chengyan was being polite. Don’t ask too much.

"Little brother, your tiger skin is still intact. Except for the tiger head, which is a little damaged, other parts are in good condition. Our shop has accepted it."

Lin Jiuyue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Shopkeeper, look at how much silver our tiger skin is worth?"

"Little brother, look, how about fifty taels of silver?"

Gu Chengyan frowned.

Fifty taels of silver? Is this price a bit low?

"Shopkeeper, your price is a little lower, right? Our tiger skin has been processed. Except for some flaws on the head, there are no other problems. If you take it back and process it a little, you can sell it for at least three hundred taels." silver."

Lin Jiuyue stretched out three fingers and waved them in front of the man's eyes.

"The fifty taels of silver you gave me is really too little. Please give me more."

The man frowned.

I didn’t expect that this girl actually knew the market.

"Little girl, you also said that there is a flaw on the head of this tiger skin. Fifty taels is a lot. Besides, the three hundred taels you mentioned must be processed by us before we can sell that much. Besides, this tiger Although leather is valuable, it is precisely because of its value that ordinary people are not willing to buy it. I want to sell it, but I don’t know when I have to go.”

Lin Jiuyue frowned.

Does this shopkeeper really think he doesn’t know the price?

Fortunately, when Gu Chengyan entered the shop, he had already inquired about the value of the tiger skin, otherwise he would have been deceived by the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, you also know that our brother and sister are hunters. We all know how much this fur is worth. So, two hundred taels, we will sell it to you for two hundred taels. If you are not willing, then this tiger fur is worth We won’t sell the skin.”
