Time passed by, and the ox cart slowly arrived outside the town.

There are officials guarding the city gate here, and you need to queue up to enter.

Fortunately, there were not many people at this time, so the two of them got in after only queuing for ten minutes.

This town is called Shuangqiao Town. As the name suggests, the town is penetrated by two long bridges. On weekdays, there are people selling things on the bridge, which is very lively.

No matter where you go in the town, you have to cross these two bridges.

Therefore, stall fees are charged for setting up stalls on the bridge and are under the jurisdiction of the government.

Yan Xia asked Zhao Dali to wait at the bridge with the ox cart and wild boar. She would go find the buyer first to save the inconvenience of following the ox cart.

After crossing the long bridge, she saw a particularly grand mansion, probably a wealthy family, so she walked to the back door of the mansion and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Someone responded from inside the door.

"I sell wild game. I wonder if your master would be interested?"

Upon hearing this, the back door opened from the inside.

A middle-aged man with a mustache looked at her.

"What kind of game is it?"

"Sir, it's a wild boar, a male wild boar, at least 300 kilograms. This is the king of wild boars. The taste of the meat must be wonderful. This is a rare encounter in a hundred years. Moreover, it was just killed an hour ago and it is still fresh. I don't know what you want, sir. Really? If you want, I’ll bring the wild boar right away.”

Sure enough, when Mustache heard about the three hundred kilogram wild boar king, his narrowed eyes brightened up. You must know that wild boars are rare. Most of the wild boars that can be hunted are only one hundred and eighty kilograms. A three hundred kilogram wild boar, my God. , he has never seen it in half his life.

"Just call me Butler Wang. I can't make the decision on this matter. Wait a minute and I'll ask Madam."

"Hey, okay, Butler Wang, you are tired. I'll wait here."

Yan Xia waited for more than ten minutes, and Butler Wang came back.

"Go and ask someone to transport it. Madam said you should stay. I'll see how the goods are doing first."

Yan Xia agreed repeatedly. She returned to Changqiao and brought Zhao Dali over.

Butler Wang was really shocked when he saw how big the wild boar on the ox cart was. It seemed that the woman was not deceiving him. She was really the wild boar king.

"The stuff is good, but I don't know the price?"

Yan Xia thought about it. She originally planned to offer fifteen taels, but she was afraid of losing money. After all, she didn't know how much this thing was worth.

He simply kicked the ball to Butler Wang.

"This wild boar was originally going to be transported to a restaurant in the next town. We have a cooperation with that place and supply game meat for a long time. But my daughter-in-law gave birth today. I am really worried and don't have time to travel that far. Butler Wang, please give me a price." I will sell whatever you have, just as a friend, and if there is any game in the future, I will give the good ones to you first."

The beautiful words made Butler Wang nod with satisfaction.

However, he is not someone who likes to take advantage. He helps his master buy things, so he naturally gives as much as he should.

This is also related to the reputation of the host family.

"In that case, I would like to congratulate you in advance on your golden grandchild, and I will accept the 30 taels of silver."

Yan Xia took a breath of cold air.

It was twice as expensive as she had imagined.

God, it's a good thing she didn't speak.

Then she suppressed her excitement and walked to the house to pay the money and deliver the goods to Butler Wang, and even drank a cup of herbal tea.

In just twenty minutes, Yan Xia sold the wild boar.

She got on the bullock cart and asked Zhao Dali to take her to the busiest streets.

"Xiao Xia, when did you have a daughter-in-law? Why didn't I know?"

Just now he seemed to have heard Yan Xia tell the housekeeper that his daughter-in-law was about to give birth. Did he miss something?

Is Jin Fu married?

"Oh, I'm just making up nonsense. He doesn't know me anyway, hahaha."

Yan Xia lied with a straight face.

Zhao Dali was speechless. He found that Yan Xia was completely different from before. When they met at the beginning of the year, he even said hello to Yan Xia, but Yan Xia only responded and ran away quickly. That voice, No different than mosquitoes.

It's not like now, when everyone is laughing loudly like no one is around, the sound is like thunder.

Soon, the two came to the street.

Yan Xia jumped off the bullock cart and walked straight to the grain store.

She looked at the price.

这里一斤糙米卖3文、一斤陈米卖10文、精米15文、灰面3文,精面10文.....

It is almost exactly the same as the price of food in space.

She had a total of 65 taels of silver, plus some copper coins, about 4 taels of silver.

Yan Xia took out 400 copper coins and bought one hundred catties of brown rice and ten catties of old rice.

She is not used to eating pure brown rice, so she plans to mix these ten pounds of rice into brown rice.

After leaving the grain store, Yan Xia went to buy salt, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, etc.

The seasonings here are quite complete, including dried chili peppers and even chili powder, but they are not ground very finely.

Yan Xia paid for everything and bought some, but she was so heartbroken when paying the bill.

Condiments are more expensive than food!

These cost her a full two taels of silver.

It seems that this money is not wasted. No wonder the people in the village cook bland and tasteless food. The condiments they buy can be used by the whole family all year round.

Also, my stomach is not full, so I don’t care about the taste.

Yan Xia went to the butcher shop again and bought a large piece of pork ribs, a piece of pork belly and a lot of suet. Passing by a vegetable stall, she saw someone selling winter melons. They were not big in size and probably matured too early.

I bought the whole thing.

Then, she bought some more needles and thread, and made two pieces of cloth for herself and the children, as well as six meat buns.

Also bought a bag of pastries.

She thought it was over, but when she was about to leave, she remembered that the pots and pans at home were borrowed from Sister Zhao's house.

I could only go back and buy an iron pot, a casserole, a kitchen knife, bowls, basins and other items.

When we returned home, the 65 taels had turned into 50 taels.

The iron pot is really too expensive!

Yan Xia was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.

This family is so poor that they lack everything.

It’s impossible not to buy it.

Hey.

I can only think of other ways to make money. I still need to build a house with these 50 taels, and my eldest son has to get a wife. It’s difficult...

On the way back, Yan Xia took out a meat bun to satisfy her hunger, and she handed another one to Zhao Dali.

The latter refused to eat.

Yan Xia simply stuffed it into his mouth, not wanting to eat it now.

She is rarely generous, in fact, because only Zhao Dali's family has an oxcart in the village.

After establishing a good relationship, it will be more convenient to use an ox cart.

"Brother Dali, I told you to give you five copper coins and you refused to take it. Then you must eat this bun. It has touched your mouth. If you don't eat it, who will eat it? Don't tell me, this is the first time I eat it when I grow up. The meat buns are so delicious. No wonder it costs 3 cents. It’s so expensive. I wouldn’t be able to eat it normally.”

Yan Xia stuffed the last bite of the bun into her mouth. The delicious aroma of the meat filling filled her entire mouth, with a slight salty taste. The bun was full of juice and oily after one bite.

"Well, it's delicious. I've only eaten it once, a few years ago. Xiaoxia, I haven't asked you yet, where did you get this wild boar? Come on, I'll get one too. I have it at home. I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.”

"Hey, where was I going to get the wild boar? It was the wild boar that found me. I was just staying in the field. The wild boar came down the mountain and chased me from behind. It scared me so much. Fortunately, I didn't deserve to die. This wild boar fell to death on its own. Do you think it’s funny? I got a wild boar for nothing and sold it at a good price. Now I have money to build a house. I can also marry my Jinfu a wife and see that life will be easier. But compared to Brother Dali, your family is still not worth mentioning."
