The whole family stocked up on supplies two years in advance, so they could live a life of luxury wh

"Okay, let's weigh it first. Give me the money, and I'll deliver the wild boar meat to you."

"Alright, I see you also have termite mushrooms. That's a good thing; my master loves them too. Sell them to me as well!"

"These are all delicacies from the mountains, so they're not cheap."

"Don't worry, my master has plenty of money."

"Let's go, I'll buy it for you too."

"Let's agree on the price first, let's agree on the price for these mushrooms before we go."

"Isn't this usually two hundred coins a pound? I'll give you two hundred and one, how does that sound, young lady?"

"OK!"

As they were talking.

Xing'er has already sold all the mountain delicacies.

Tiger Head and Iron Egg stood timidly behind Xing'er. The person in front of them looked like a rich man, and they were both a little scared. They didn't even dare to raise their heads.

When Hu Tou heard that Xing'er could sell chicken mushrooms for 200 coins per catty, he was shocked.

You should know that a pound of wild boar meat costs ninety coins.

This pound of wild mushrooms is worth more than three pounds of pork.

Gou'er and Tie Dan also pricked up their ears to listen. Although they didn't dare to raise their heads, their ears were standing tall. When they heard that mushrooms and wild boar meat could be sold for so much money, they were so shocked that their mouths couldn't close.

Daya quietly tugged at Zhaodi's sleeve and whispered:

"Why are these mushrooms so precious? If we had known, we should have picked more that day; we could have made so much more money."

Zhao Di replied softly:

"My mother said this is a mountain delicacy, very precious, but ordinary people can't find it. Sister Xing'er is really good at it."

"That's right, Sister Xing'er isn't even afraid of tigers!"

After Xing'er and the old gentleman reached an agreement, she turned back to Hu Tou and the others and said gently:

"Come on, let's find a place to weigh them. I'll buy you some good food after we deliver the wild boar and mushrooms."

"Yay!"

"Sister Xing'er, I feel so happy right now!"

"There will be many more happy times to come. Come with me and don't wander off, okay?"

"We know, we know."

Tiger Head and Dog nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice.

Then.

The old steward led the way and soon brought Xing'er and the others to a pork shop.

This happened to be the place where the old steward often made his purchases. The butcher originally thought he wanted to buy pork and was about to call out his wares when, unexpectedly, the butcher asked him to help weigh the pork.

The butcher wasn't angry that he wasn't buying anything today; he was just curious about what good stuff the old steward wanted to buy.

When Xing'er placed the wild boar meat on the butcher's stall, the butcher was taken aback. He touched the wild boar's thigh meat and exclaimed in surprise:

"Such firm wild boar meat is truly rare; no wonder you didn't buy pork today."

The old butler chuckled:

"Quickly weigh it for me. Also, send half a carcass of regular pork to my house. This wild boar meat is my young master's favorite."

Butcher Zhang had thought he had no chance today, but the old steward still wanted to buy, so he perked up and laughed heartily:

"Don't worry, sir, I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you."

Followed by.

Two burly men came out of the butcher shop, picked up the wild boar meat and took it to be weighed. They found that the wild boar meat was quite substantial, weighing a whopping 363 jin (approximately 188.5 kg).

It's worth thirty-four taels and four mace.

As for the wild mushrooms, they weighed 16 jin and 1 qian, which was worth 3 liang and 3 qian of silver.

Butcher Zhang reported the weight and price of the mountain delicacies and wild boar meat.

After hearing this, the old steward gave Xing'er thirty-seven taels and seven qian without saying a word.

He waved the silver in front of Xing'er:

"Little girl, I didn't lie to you, did I? Here's the silver for you, keep it safe."

"Thank you, sir. Since they can help you deliver the pork to your home, could they also do this for me?"

Xing'er only wanted to take Hu Tou and the others on a nice tour after selling the silver; she didn't want to go on a tour of their mansion with the old steward.

She wasn't interested.

Unexpectedly, the old butler stroked his beard and smiled:

"That's not right. Little girl, you just promised me you'd deliver the wild boar meat to my house."

"I don't think the young girl is the type to break her promise."

Xing'er's face darkened upon hearing this. She hadn't expected the old man to be so good at flattering people. She could only force a smile and said, "Yes, sir, you're right. Let's go now."

"good!"

"You just need to carry the basket on your back; I'll have them carry the wild boar meat with them."

"Um?"

Xing'er was stunned. What was she being asked to do?

Seeing her hesitation, the old butler continued:

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

"Let's go then!"

With a wave of his hand, the old steward instructed Zhang the butcher to immediately order his two assistants to help push the wild boar meat and their own pork over in a cart.

After the two men agreed, they went to the backyard to fetch a cart.

After placing the pork, I followed the old butler toward the Lu residence.

Along the way.

Gou'er, Tie Dan, and the others were all very nervous. They had heard since childhood that high-ranking officials and nobles were not good people and could kill people when they got angry. They were so nervous that they almost fell over several times.

Fortunately, Xing'er helped them up each time and reassured them that she would take care of everything. This made Gou'er and the others relax a bit, but they were still very reserved.

They didn't even dare to take big steps anymore.

Xing'er wasn't worried about anything; she had an unfair advantage. She was just afraid it would affect Gou'er and the others, since today was their first time going to the market!

She followed the old butler all the way until they arrived at a large mansion before stopping.

She looked up.

The house's blue brick walls weren't very high, only about one and a half people's height. A plaque made of ebony hung in front of the gate, with the words "Lu Residence" written on it.

It looks quite spacious from the outside.

This is clearly a place only wealthy people can live in.

Tiger Head became even more reserved upon seeing this place. Even though he had been to the town before, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak. He rubbed his left hand against his right, too nervous to even lift his head.

Tie Dan and Gou'er first looked up with curiosity and a bit of caution. "What a beautiful door! What a big house!" they exclaimed excitedly in their hearts before quickly looking down again.

Xing'er saw the old butler walk over and shake the door knocker first. After two "ding-dong" sounds, the door was opened a crack, and an elderly man dressed in black cloth quickly welcomed the old butler inside.

"Old steward, have you bought any wild boar meat? The old lady has asked several times already."

"Look, isn't that wild boar meat over there? I'm having someone bring it in. You take Zhang the butcher's apprentice to the kitchen, and I'll take this little girl to see the old lady."

"Yes, yes, I'll have them send the wild boar meat to the kitchen right away."

After saying that, the old steward came out again and said to Xing'er:

"Little girl, come on, I'll take you to meet my master."

Seeing that the wild boar meat had already been delivered, Xing'er immediately shook her head and refused, saying:

"Sir, I've already delivered the items, so I won't go in. Goodbye!"

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

Just then.

She suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure inside the house.
