Chapter 18 Returning with a Full Load

Su Sanlang nodded quickly: "Yeah, this is my first time here."

Butler Sun smiled and said: "I see, don't worry, our Sun family won't say anything. Your stuff is pretty good, and I will give you a good price. Game meat is twenty-five cents per pound. This wild hair is

There aren’t many chestnuts, so I’ll give them to you according to the eighteenth article.”

This price is only too high, not too low.

Su Sanlang nodded happily, with joy in his eyes.

"Okay, thank you, Butler Sun."

Su Sanlang thanked him repeatedly and followed Butler Sun to the kitchen.

Butler Sun pointed to the ground and said casually: "Put the things here."

With that said, Butler Sun called towards the kitchen: "Old Fu, come out and look at the goods."

"Why."

There was a sound in the kitchen, and soon, a slightly fat man came out. He was about fifty years old. He went straight to the wild animals, took a look and touched them, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Not bad, not bad, I said."

Let’s calculate the money now.”

"Hey, there are also Maolizi. It just so happens that the little master wants to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts."

Sun Fu reached out and fished out a handful of chestnuts in the sack, and was already planning how to operate them.

Butler Sun responded with a smile: "No, that's what I just thought."

Su Sanlang stood aside silently, waiting to count the money. At the same time, he silently remembered this place, thinking that if he had anything in the future, he would come here to ask first. If the Sun Mansion didn't want it, he would take it to the market.

Sell.

Sun Fu called the servants from the kitchen to come out, and soon the money was weighed and counted.

Three hares and two pheasants weigh a total of twenty kilograms, twenty-five cents per catty, a total of five hundred cents. Wild chestnuts weigh seventeen catties, eighteen cents a catty, a total of three hundred and six cents. The two together total eight hundred and six cents.

arts.

Su Sanlang was surprised and shocked when he heard this number.

When Butler Sun saw that he had never seen money before, he felt a little funny and said jokingly: "Why are you so stupid? Why have you never seen money before?"

Butler Sun was joking, but Su Sanlang had really never seen money. He nodded sheepishly, his dark eyes hiding many stories that he couldn't tell others.

Butler Sun had a keen eye and knew that this man had a story, but they were not familiar with each other, and it would not be good to ask others about family affairs rashly, so he did not say much about the matter, and instead gave the money to Su Sanlang.

Then he sent Su Sanlang out again. Su Sanlang tightly put the money into his chest and couldn't help but touch his chest along the way.

Being so careful made Butler Sun sigh. When sending Su Sanlang out, Butler Sun kindly reminded him: "Young man, you should be more open-minded when you go out. You are so cautious because you are afraid that others will not know that you have a baby in your arms."

.”

Su Sanlang understood immediately. He was surprised and frightened for a while. He looked at Butler Sun gratefully: "Butler Sun, thank you."

Butler Sun smiled and waved his hand: "It's a small matter that doesn't matter. You'll have a good deal in the future. Just send it to our Sun Mansion."

Su Sanlang nodded gratefully. He was thinking about firewood. Butler Sun was so easy-going, so he asked about it.

"Steward Sun, does the Sun Mansion need firewood? I'm also a good hand at chopping firewood. I guarantee that it will all be good firewood."

After Su Sanlang asked, he looked at Butler Sun and waited for his answer.

Butler Sun smiled and said, "No need for that. Seeing that you are a nice person, I'll just say a few more words. Rich families don't need to buy firewood. Only ordinary families may buy it, but the price won't be very high."

, and most people have negotiated a deal early. If you had been a month earlier, you might still have some business, but now... it’s difficult."

Su Sanlang's heart sank, but he still smiled and thanked Butler Sun: "Butler Sun, thank you for telling me so much."

The firewood business was not working out, but Butler Sun's kind advice saved him from many detours.

Butler Sun waved his hand nonchalantly: "I see that your hunting skills are not bad, why don't you try hard on this, I'll bring you something good, and the Sun Mansion will never treat you badly."

After saying that, Butler Sun went in.

Su Sanlang could not tell Butler Sun that he was not a real hunter and all his hunting depended on luck, so he had to smile and say "ok".

After leaving the Sun Mansion, Su Sanlang wanted to touch his chest several times, but Butler Sun's reminder came to mind, and he put his raised hand down again.

Just treat yourself as an ordinary person with no money.

Thinking about the poor boy at home, Su Sanlang asked for directions and went to the cloth store. An ordinary piece of cotton cost 300 yuan, and a piece of linen cloth with a lower price was 200 yuan. Cotton was calculated by the pound, and a pound was the same.

Cotton costs 20 cents, and good cotton costs 30 cents per pound.

Su Sanlang counted the money in his hand, gritted his teeth and bought a piece of cotton cloth, a piece of linen cloth and ten kilograms of cotton. He spent 700 Wen in one go.

Although he was very distressed, he thought that the family would not suffer from the cold this winter, and a smile appeared on his face. In previous winters, their family's winter clothes were made from old clothes of the eldest brother and the second brother. The cotton was thin and soft.

It's not warm, and until winter comes, Ms. Zhao always coughs.

This year, their family all wore new clothes to spend the winter warm.

After packing the things in a backpack, Su Sanlang went to the grocery store and bought some salt. Salt was very expensive. It cost him fifty cents for half a catty. He still had fifty-six cents left. He didn't plan to use it anymore. He looked at the sky.

Probably it was already midnight and he had to go home.

When leaving the city, Su Sanlang paid the money he owed for entering the city.

After the officers and soldiers were released, Su Sanlang couldn't wait to carry the basket on his back and hurried towards home.

An hour later, Su Sanlang returned to the familiar village.

It was late in the afternoon, and most of the people in the village were busy in the fields. I didn't meet many people on the road, but someone still saw Su Sanlang returning with a basket of things on his back.

Su Sanlang didn't care, he just wanted to go home quickly.

Before he got home, he saw Su Sanmei and her two brothers catching bugs from a distance. He could vaguely hear his two sons cheering happily, and Su Sanlang's eyes were filled with smiles.

Su Sanmei was washing diapers, and saw Su Sanlang coming back with sharp eyes. She shouted happily: "Daddy is back."

Su Chong and Su Hua also heard the sound and looked towards the road below. When they saw Su Sanlang, they called him happily: "Dad, there are eggs again."

Su Sanlang was pleasantly surprised. Su Sanmei had already stood up and ran to him. She raised her head and said to him: "Dad, there is another egg today. I picked it up and put it at home."

Su Chong and Su Hua also ran over, surrounded Su Sanlang and said, "Dad, Brother Hua and I touched the eggs and they didn't break."

Su Hua licked the corner of his mouth, looked at Su Sanlang hopefully and said, "Dad, the eggs are so delicious."

Su Sanlang was in a good mood. He smiled and touched the heads of the three children and said excitedly: "You are all good children. Dad will make egg drop soup for you tonight."

"Great!"

Su Chong and Su Hua clapped their hands together.
