Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

Upon hearing this, the third manager immediately began to complain, "Fifteen taels at most."

"Although you killed it last night, it's been sitting overnight, so it's not very fresh. It's worth at most fifteen taels."

Seeing his reaction, Shen Zhi didn't say anything more and reached out to take the bear paw back. "It doesn't matter if it's not fresh. I can ask at other restaurants."

Upon hearing this, the third manager panicked instantly. Fortunately, Manager Zhao came out in time and quickly smoothed things over, saying, "Third brother, this young master Shen is a regular customer of mine."

"He's a master hunter; he killed this bear himself. Give me a fair price for my sake."

"If you offer a high price, Young Master Shen will think of you first when he comes across good products in the future."

Upon hearing this, the third manager immediately understood the meaning behind Manager Zhao's words.

He turned to Shen Zhi and said, "Since you are my elder brother's regular customer, then you are also my regular customer. I'll give you a fair price, seventeen taels. I really can't give you any more."

Shen Zhi didn't rush to agree. Instead, he pointed to the bear meat in the basket and asked, "How do we calculate this?"

The third shopkeeper glanced at the bear meat in the basket, frowned slightly, and then took the bear meat out of the basket.

He examined it first, then smelled it to make sure there were no problems before saying, "I'll give you a fixed price, one and a half taels of silver, is that acceptable?"

Seeing that the price offered by the third manager was about what he had expected, Shen Zhicai nodded, "Okay."

Upon hearing this, the third manager turned to Manager Zhao and said, "Brother, lend me some money."

Manager Zhao...

Upon seeing this, the second manager immediately turned his head away and secretly laughed, afraid that Manager Zhao's anger would lash out at him.

Manager Zhao said, "We really owe you all." After saying that, he went to the backyard to get the silver for them.

When he came out again, he had two hands, one with a bulging money bag in each hand.

The second manager was puzzled and asked with some doubt, "Brother, with so much silver, why don't you give me a silver note?"

While checking accounts with Manager Zhao, Xu Qinghe explained, "I don't like it."

For some reason, Xu Qinghe always felt unsafe carrying banknotes in this era, as if they were just flimsy pieces of paper that could disappear at any moment.

Unlike silver ingots, which give you a very solid feeling when you hold them in your hand.

The second manager, looking at Xu Qinghe's petite figure, was about to say, "Aren't you afraid of being robbed if you take so much silver?"

Before she could finish speaking, she saw Shen Zhi protecting Xu Qinghe in front of her, and swallowed her words of complaint.

She thought to herself that this little girl was really clever; she looked so delicate and frail, yet she had found such a strong husband.

With her husband's physique, who would dare to steal her away?

After Xu Qinghe finished checking accounts with Manager Zhao, she followed Shen Zhi out of Manager Zhao's herbal medicine shop.

As soon as they stepped outside, Xu Qinghe asked Shen Zhi, "Are you coming back with me?"

Xu Qinghe gave Shen Zhi the 120 taels of silver that Manager Zhao had given him, and told him to carry it with him.

Xu Qinghe then put the 68 taels plus 515 copper coins he was given on his person.

Shen Zhi glanced at Xu Qinghe who was leaning close to his ear and replied indifferently, "Yeah, I'll go back with you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried about taking so much silver back by herself.

"So what about your job?"

Shen Zhi: "It's alright. We left early today, so we can make it back in time."

Seeing Shen Zhi's calm expression, Xu Qinghe really wanted to act impulsively and grabbed him, saying, "Come on, I'll take you to buy horses."

But she doesn't dare, at least not now, because the house her family has built is a very conspicuous building in the village.

If someone were to bring a carriage back at a time like this, it would definitely become a thorn in the side of some people.

This might not be unusual in the city, because people who can afford to live in the city are usually capable.

But in the village, that's absolutely taboo, because they don't care if you're capable or not; they just think you're doing better than them and are coming back to show off.

Therefore, when living in a village, you must not be too high-profile, at least not when others are not rich. Otherwise, there will be plenty of people who will try to trip you up.

"Once we finish building the house and buying the land, I'll buy you a horse to ride around on."

Shen Zhi looked at Xu Qinghe's confident expression and nodded with a smile.

"it is good."

"Do you want to buy anything else?"

Xu Qinghe instantly regained her composure, "Buy it."

"We need to buy meat, ribs, and some vegetables."

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi immediately asked in surprise, "Can't I eat your dishes?"

Xu Qinghe shook her head, "Apart from chives, which are edible, nothing else is really suitable right now."

Shen Zhi: "Then you can buy some, but don't buy any grain yet. We can do that after the house is built."

Xu Qinghe knew that her family had many visitors, and the food piled up in the kitchen was quite conspicuous, so she didn't say anything more after hearing this.

After buying three pounds of pork, three pounds of spare ribs, two pounds of peach shortbread, and various kinds of vegetables, the two prepared to go back.

But Shen Zhi was clearly running out of time. Xu Qinghe knew a little about the time Shen Zhi was going to the garrison.

He turned to Shen Zhi and asked, "Are you running out of time?"

Shen Zhi remained calm and replied, "It's alright."

At worst, I'll get ten lashes and be fined!

Getting a beating from the military wasn't a big deal, but he was a little heartbroken about the fine, because his young wife was a bit difficult to take care of.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi couldn't help but chuckle. When did he put these things first? You know, what he used to hate most was being late for training.

It's true that being a lowly soldier is different from being a leader. When you're a lowly soldier, you only care about your own interests and your own life.

When you're in a leadership position, you have to consider performance results.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately frowned, because she knew that being late for military service was a major taboo in any era.

But she was carrying so much silver, she didn't dare to go back alone.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Qinghe pulled Shen Zhi and headed towards the clothing store from last time.

When they arrived, the waiter had just opened the door and greeted them warmly.

"Young master, madam, what would you like to order this time?"

Xu Qinghe looked around and saw that only the waiter was in the shop, so she said in a low voice, "I'm not buying anything, I just wanted to ask if your car is available?"

"Could you give us a ride? I'll pay."

The waiter's eyes immediately lit up, and he said with a sly grin, "Yes, I'll call for help right away. Just wait at the corner." With that, he dashed off.

Xu Qinghe knew that they lived nearby, so she didn't say much and pulled Shen Zhi to wait nearby.

Seeing her serious expression, Shen Zhi felt a pang of heartache and said, "Are you that afraid I'll be late?"

Xu Qinghe: "What do you think?"

"Don't think I don't know how harshly the garrison punishes people who are late."
