Traveling through ancient times as a hunter

Because Li Wang said that it could be compiled in the afternoon, Cheng Duo went back and skinned the wolf, and then made an appointment with Shen Shichu to meet him at the big tree at the entrance of the village.

Considering the purchasing power of the villagers, Cheng Duo cut the meat into small pieces and wrapped them in tree leaves. When the time came, a bunch of them would cost three to five cents, and he didn't have to bother to weigh them.

The most important thing is that he also avoided arguing with the aunts and aunts in the village. Anyway, he only sells so much, whether he wants it or not.

As for the salted ones, he will sell them for an extra penny.In fact, it's a pity to sell his salt like this, but the meat is not fresh anymore, so let's sell it after selling it.

Contrary to Cheng Duo's expectations, it was Brother Yong who came to bring him bamboo rafts in the afternoon.Seeing Cheng Duo looking at him, Brother Yong moved a little uncomfortably: "My father said, I'm afraid you don't know the villagers well, and everyone is too embarrassed to ask the price, so let me show you..."

Unfamiliarity is just a polite statement. The real situation is that his father thinks that Cheng Duo's reputation in the village is too bad, and because of his aunt's embellishment, the villagers not only think that Cheng Duo can kill cows with one punch, he can also kill people...

It would be strange if anyone dared to get close to such a vicious person selling meat at the entrance of the village.

Of course, this is only part of Yong Ge'er's consideration for guessing his father.In fact, Li Wang deliberately asked Yong Geer to help Cheng Duo, maybe he didn't want to let him see Yong Geer's virtuous thoughts.

Anyway, their father and son have already been hired by Cheng Duo to farm the land, so it's nothing for Brother Yong to help sell meat by the way.

Cheng Duo simply said, "Okay, you can sell it for me."

The little brother is skinny, so I just left him a portion of his wages.

Cheng Duo told Yong Ge'er about his selling method. Yong Ge'er thought it was cheap at first, but after careful calculation, it seems that it is not the case?

However, Cheng Duo's selling method is indeed easier for the villagers to accept than pork that costs more than ten yuan a catty.When they go to the pork shop to buy meat, it is definitely not enough to buy a few taels, at least half a catty, right?Otherwise, the owner of the pork shop will squint at people if they buy less, and everyone will feel embarrassed.

In fact, the poorer people are, the less they want to be looked down upon by others. The rich at least have confidence in pretending to be poor, but the embarrassment of the poor cannot be concealed.So sometimes they know that the offal on the meat case is cheap, but they don't have much money in their pockets, so they dare not ask the price.

Brother Yong helped Cheng Duo set up the stall. Cheng Duo told Yong Ge which meat was fresh and which meat had been salted, and then he acted irresponsibly as the shopkeeper—he climbed to the top of the big tree. One of the short branches took a nap.

Of course, Cheng Duo had thought about it, he was stuck in front of the meat stall, and the villagers might be too embarrassed to come over, and he was afraid that Brother Yong would be bullied when he was not there, so he chose a place not far or near to stay.

He could see the butcher's stand as he reclined there, and the people who came to buy meat could also see him.Because it is a distance away, it will not make people afraid to step forward.

Not long after Cheng Duo's meat stall opened, a few children playing nearby curiously poked their heads.

"Tie Dan, big head, come here." Brother Yong beckoned to them.

Tie Dan and the others looked at Cheng Duo, and found that he was lying on the tree as if asleep, so they pushed each other and approached.

The children were a little scared at first, but when they saw the piles of meat on the leaves, they couldn't move their eyes away.

"So much meat—" Datou exclaimed, and then his companion covered his mouth.Datou himself was startled, and timidly raised his eyes to look at Cheng Duo, and found that he hadn't heard, and the children breathed a sigh of relief.

Brother Yong didn't dislike the smallness of his guests, he pointed to a leaf with a pheasant head, neck and some scattered pieces of meat and said, "Do you want this pile of three Wen coins?"

Sanwen!

The eyes of Tie Dan and the big heads lit up. This is meat. They bought some wild vegetables, black beans and so on to cook together, and they can have a good meal!

Tiedan is Li Dazhuang's son and the grandson of Li Sanye.Li Sanye was able to lend five taels of silver to Li Mancang in one breath, not only for the sake of his fellow clan, but also because his own family's conditions were good.

Otherwise, he just has the heart and doesn't have the strength.

So Tiedan discussed with the others, and each of the three children would contribute a penny, while the other children would contribute other food.After the discussion, they went home to get money and goods.

Of course, there are many kinds of "taking". For example, if Tie Dan saves some copper coins, he can go to his own small treasury.Datou and the other child have no money, so they either pester their parents to ask for it, or secretly...

So after Datou and another child came out of the house, their adults also chased them out: They want to see, what is their child wanting/stealing money for? !

"Run!" Tie Dan put the money in front of Brother Yong, and ran away with their share of meat.

Datou's mother and Erpang's grandma saw them taking things from Brother Yong's stall at a glance, but Brother Yong didn't stop them.

The two came over aggressively, but Brother Yong smiled: "Aunt Cuihua, Grandma Dagui!"

The two had a meal at the same time: "Brother Yong, are you... selling meat?"

They glanced at Cheng Duo at the same time, not understanding what was going on with the two of them.

Brother Yong was very embarrassed, but he still tried his best not to blush: "Cheng Duo invited me and my father to farm for him, and he said he wanted to sell meat, so my father asked me to come over to help."

Then the topic changed: "Aunt Cuihua, Grandma Dagui, do you buy meat? It's very cheap, look at this pile, it's only five cents for so much!"

Five cents is really not much...

As soon as the two heard that the meat was cheap, they gained confidence. Brother Yong asked the price of each pile of meat on the stall, and then picked and picked, each of them took a fancy to a pile.

But it's not so easy to get them to buy it. Brother Yong is easy to talk to, so they just pester him for a penny or two.

Cheng Duo couldn't take it anymore, and sat up impatiently: "As much as you ordered, you can leave as soon as you don't buy!"

Both of them were afraid of Cheng Duo, so they paid the money as soon as they were frightened by him, and then ran away quickly with the meat.

At this time, someone had already noticed the stall at the entrance of the village, and when they saw them passing by with things, they all stepped forward curiously to inquire.So they spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and even Niujia Village and Yangshu Village next door knew that the new hunters from Yanger Village were selling meat at the entrance of the village.The key is that they are sold very cheaply, a pack costs only three to five cents, and the expensive ones are no more than eight cents...

So those who had a little spare money and were greedy for a long time came over to buy it. Brother Yong was so talkative that he finally sold most of it.

Cheng Duo also felt guilty that this "buddy" was worth the money, and his salary should be paid more...

During the period, three hooligans from the neighboring village wanted to come over to eat meat on credit and even teased Brother Yong. Cheng Duo jumped down from the tree and beat the three of them up.

He thought that this would scare away the meat buyers, but he underestimated the enthusiasm of the villagers to watch the excitement. Not only did they not leave, but even more people surrounded the stall far away.

Seeing that Cheng Duo returned to the tree after beating him, he slowly surrounded him with some eagerness——

"Brother Yong, why are you selling meat?"

"How is this meat sold? I heard that a bowl costs three Wen. I don't know if it's true?"

There is also the young daughter-in-law who has sharp eyes and noticed at a glance: "Brother Yong, why have you become so beautiful?"

Everyone suddenly shouted: "Yes, it looks much better after tidying up."

"Where is it cleaned up? It's obviously turned white!"

"It seems to be a little fatter..."

Another person took advantage of Cheng Duo's inattention and secretly asked Brother Yong: "You sell meat for him, don't you... Your good news is coming soon?"

"No, no, I'm just here to help..." Brother Yong explained the reason again in public, and then tried to divert the attention of the uncles, aunts, daughters-in-law, and Ah Mo to buy meat.

Of course, these people had long been optimistic about which piece they wanted, and even preemptively grabbed it.It's just that he was reluctant to give the money and didn't want to leave, so he pestered Brother Yong to talk.

Of course, there are still three or five texts in it that I can't afford to pay, and I stand by the side and say some sour words...

Seeing that the situation had become chaotic again, Cheng Duo closed his eyes and cleared his throat, the effect was immediate.The people standing in front of the meat stall didn't hesitate anymore, and they all gave up their money with emotion, for fear that Cheng Duo would think that they were here to steal meat and beat them up too.

Everyone didn't leave after buying the meat. They wrapped the leaves of the meat with grass stems and stood nearby chatting.

There was even someone from a good family who took the opportunity to ask Brother Yong: "Will you buy meat every day from now on?"

Brother Yong doesn't know, he can only look at Cheng Duo, Cheng Duo didn't know when he stuck a straw in his mouth, and said vaguely: "In the future, if you have more hunting, you will sell it!"

When the villagers heard that he was still selling meat, they suddenly began to think that Mr. Li was justified in insisting on keeping Cheng Duo. No, they would be so greedy that they would not be afraid that they would have nowhere to buy meat!

Came here in a hurry, and heard someone tell him that, Mr. Li: "..."

His idea is really not that simple!

Of course, Mr. Li's thoughts are not complicated. He just thinks that there is someone in the village who can fight. Whether it is grabbing water from other villages or being bullied in Ershilipo...at least there is a way to get it back. justice.

As for whether Cheng Duo will do it or not, it depends on whether they can persuade him.

In short, with such a person around, like a pillar, other villages would not dare to provoke their people from Yang'er Village!

Looking at the people in his village, Li Sanye just wanted to sigh: they are all elm lumps, and he has used all his brains to care about every detail!

In fact, it was not only Li Sanye who came here after hearing the news, but also some unmarried girls and brothers.They usually go out seldom, and when they heard the excitement at the entrance of the village, they also came in twos and threes.

Among these people was Brother Feng who had just given the dowry.

He made a good marriage that everyone envied, and just got a pair of silver hairpins and bracelets. Of course, he would come out to show the villagers and give them a chance to boast.

Otherwise, if he gets married in the future, he won't be able to hear some things.

Brother Feng's thoughts are actually not difficult to understand. Even the famous Xiang Yu once said: "Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, such as traveling at night in brocade clothes[1]", it is conceivable that a brother like him who is married far away is eager to be with his elders. The psychology of showing off in front of folks.

What's more, he heard that Brother Yong has become more beautiful, and even climbed up to the new Orion, and some people even envy him.

If he doesn't go, how will others know that a hunter is nothing at all, and he is going to marry a rich and wealthy businessman!
