Chapter 85.3: 決定
[Decision]
Seeing Chen Xing hesitate, that old man seemed a bit anxious and hurriedly said, “Little Young Master, don’t look at the price I sell, but this rabbit is fat! And the skin on this body, if you specially get it down to sell it, you can eventually sell it for more money. It’s just that something happened in my house recently, and I couldn’t wait to sell the skin, so I sold it in a hurry.”
“Elderly man, don’t be in a hurry, I’ll buy this rabbit.” Chen Xing said as he thought of the picture he just saw, hesitantly continued: “If you still have rustic goods; mountain products (such as haws, chestnuts, and walnuts) behind you, you can also first bring it to me to see, if I think the price is reasonable, I should probably buy it.”
Chen Xing thought about it, think that in this ancient times there is nothing good to supplement the body, in addition to pork meat, there is variety of chickens, ducks and geese meat, can be a bit of wild animals and birds hunted for food or sport, to improve the food a little bit, perhaps every time Gu Lang eats meat, he can also eat two more pieces. If they couldn’t finish it all, they could even take it to the shop to make it become shop specialties and serve it to the customers!
That old man didn’t expect that the young Ger would not only accept his rabbit so readily, but also said that he could show him all his goods in the future, so that he would have a more generous and stable buyer in the future. After receiving the money, he thanked him profusely (express a thousand thanks; be eternally indebted) and was ready to leave.
The moment that the old man was ready to carry his own back large bamboo basket to leave, Chen Xing’s sharp eyes looked at the bottom of his basket, immediately said, “What’s inside your basket?”
The old man heard it and somewhat doubted, but still put the basket down, the top of the straw peeled open, revealing the following things seen by Chen Xing. He then handed it over to him, “You mean this?”
Chen Xing took him to hand over the things, but he used to eat mushrooms, he often make soup with it, just after he came here he didn’t see it, he thought it was none here,he did not think that this old man’s back large bamboo basket will actually have it, and it also quite a weight. Therefore he looked at the old man and excitedly said, “How can I sell these things?”.
The old man looked at Chen Xing’s expression, as if he found something good. He looked at his eyes, somewhat complicatedly and carefully as he said: “Gong Zi, this is what we eat when starving, not worth much money, if you want, I’ll treat it as a gift and give it to you.”
Chen Xing, even if he was petty, he also could not take advantage of the tattered clothes dressed person in front of him ‘from one look, where you can see it’s not a rich old man’ so he shook his head and insisted as he said: “If you do not accept my money, I can not take this things.”
The old man was unable to do so, and finally asked Chen Xing for three wen , which was considered the money for this mushroom.
When the old man carefully collected the money, ready to go back, Chen Xing said: “Old man, in the future, if there are edible mushrooms, no matter whether they are similar to this or not, you bring me some,at that time I will give you the money. However, you have to pay attention, must be the kind that you have eaten, must be the one that has no accident.”
Mountain people rely on the mountain to live, the experience from one generation to generation added up, what things can eat, what things can not eat, they know better than anyone else. Therefore, Chen Xing’s words did not give him much trouble.
That old man at first did not think that this kind of thing would have the townspeople buy it, he froze for a moment and then immediately nodded, the tone of his voice loosened a few points, “Hey, good. I’ve seen it, and will definitely bring it to the little Gong Zi.”
Waiting for the old man to leave with the large empty bamboo box on his back, Chen Xing carried the fat rabbit, as well as the oyster mushrooms he had just bought, to the back kitchen. He had to let the people in the back help him skin the rabbit, send the skin to a specialized craftsman to be processed, and then marinate the rest of the meat to remove any nuisance, so that it would be tasty when he cooked it at night.
Thinking that Gu Lang will be able to eat delicious rabbit meat when he comes back, Chen Xing is also happy, and even started humming a little ballad song.
Speaking of which, the old man left Chen Xing’s small restaurant, not immediately went out of the city to go home, but slowly came to the east end of the city, a large family back door, he silently waiting there.
Waiting for less than an hour’s effort before the back door opened, a tall man in his early twenties came out, nodded one’s head and bow (idiom); bowing and scraping towards people at the door and hailed to say something, and finally the courtyard door slammed shut, the man’s smile only faded, revealing a slightly tired face.
Only when the man came from there, did the old man call out to stop him, “Da Niu.”
The man who was called out to stop his footsteps stalled, looked over in the direction of the old man, looked at him standing there, and seemed to say in a somewhat unbelievable way, “Father, why are you here?”
The old man’s face surfaced with a few touches of ‘proud of himself’, the tone of voice also added a few points of lightness, “Your father, I, met a nobleman today, that rabbit sold very smoothly, so came back a little faster.”
“Father, how much did you sell it for?”
“One hundred and fifty Wen!”
Da Niu looked at his father, somewhat incredulous, “Can you sell that much?” Although their rabbits were very good, they were in desperate need of money, so he thought it would be good to sell them for a hundred and twenty Wen.
The old man sighed, “That nobleman is a kind-hearted man, he didn’t bargain with me. By the way, how are you doing here?”
Hearing the old man’s question, Da Niu was a bit frustrated and took out the money he had just got.
The old man counted the money and found that it only added up to 600 Wen, and immediately became angry, “You took so many things in, and this is all the money you got. How did you work? Do you know that Jiu Niang still needs a lot of money for medical treatment?”
Jiu Niang was the old man’s daughter-in-law, Da Niu’s wife, and now she was sick in bed, quite serious, and needed money to buy medicine, otherwise, the old man wouldn’t have shamelessly begged a restaurant he didn’t know very well, just to earn more money.
