Chapter 25: Sell ??tigers and bears, get money
Gu Shuixiusi shook his head for a moment, "No, we don't go to Zhang Mansion. During this time, we sent the prey one after another. Although the wild boar and sika deer are valuable, they are nothing, but this tiger and Black bears are different. Now is not the time for us to be high-profile. I think we should sell them separately. This tiger and black bear is a treasure.
Tiger skin can be sheathed, tiger bone and tiger blood can be made into medicinal materials, and the tiger meat can also be eaten. But there are things that can be found that are priceless. And bear skins are also valuable. Our tiger skins are already like this. It is estimated that we will not be able to sell for much silver, but the bear skins are still very complete, which can be sold for a big price. "
Dong Chenghu had no idea about the big price Gu Shuixiu said. The most prey he sold for so many years was a few dozen taels of silver. It was only with Gu Shuixiu that they sold for a good price. In his understanding, a few hundred taels of silver was a huge amount of money.
Seeing that Gu Shuixiu was right, he handed over the arrangement of the transaction to Gu Shuixiu. As long as Gu Shuixiu pointed, he would rush to it.
"Well, let's go back to the pharmacy to get medicine, the shopkeeper of that store is not bad, we bought him so many medicinal materials, he must remember us, this time we will talk to him Private transactions, if the pharmacy can afford it, sell them all to him." Gu Shuixiu said after weighing it.
Dong Chenghu didn't talk nonsense after listening to it, and immediately dragged Gu Shuixiu around the alley, turning several corners before they stopped at a Minsheng pharmacy.
The shopkeeper Liu heard that it was a couple who bought a lot of medicinal herbs last time, so he didn't care about anything and rushed out immediately. wrinkle.
The two distinguished guests are here today for something important?
Shopkeeper Sun saw the big guy and concluded that the two should not come to buy medicinal materials.
Gu Shuixiu said with some embarrassment: "Manager Sun, we have something important to discuss with you privately, I don't know..."
Manager Sun understood, lowered his voice and led them to a side room in the backyard.
Dong Chenghu did not forget to pull up the things on the board when he left.
If you get some good things back, bring them over to shopkeeper Sun to take a look, if shopkeeper Sun doesn't like it, you can pretend that we haven't been here today."
Shopkeeper Sun once again looked at the big guy who was tightly wrapped in hay, laughed twice, and said gently: "If the lady of the Dong family has something to say, you can say it directly. What exactly are you looking at below? If it is really something I can use here, don’t worry about the price, I will use my grandson’s reputation in Linhai County to assure you that I will never lose you.”
Dong Chenghu got the assurance from the shopkeeper Sun, and he felt relieved. Immediately untie the vines and remove the hay mats on them.
After shopkeeper Sun saw what was in front of him, the smile on his face completely solidified, his pupils slowly approached, and then he took a breath of air, and the whole person jumped up in shock, driving with extreme horror In an unbelievable tone, he said, "This...this is...a tiger? A black bear?"
Dong Chenghu nodded solemnly, "It's still fresh, it just died last night, we brought it out overnight to ensure there is no problem."
Shopkeeper Sun's eyes were straightened when he heard it, and he shivered for a long time without speaking, and finally swallowed his saliva. The eyes of Gu Shuixiu and his wife were different. It’s not ordinary for a couple, and they really are not ordinary people. How can this tiger and black bear be caught? Sometimes a team of hunters may not be able to escape when they encounter a tiger or a black bear. Got two!
Shopkeeper Sun has all these suspicions in his heart, but now is obviously not the time to think about problems. Since such a good thing happened to him, how could he let this opportunity slip away, and immediately squatted down to check After confirming that what Dong Chenghu said was true, the two sides began to discuss the price.
, I will give you a price, if you are not satisfied, we can negotiate again, or I will write an IOU for you, pay you the normal money first, and give you the rest later, do you think?"
Shopkeeper Sun did not hide his desire for this tiger bone and bear gall, which made Gu Shuixiu at ease.
"Shopkeeper Sun, how much money do you think these two things are worth together, and how much can you take out?"
Shopkeeper Sun thoughtfully said: "This body is worth about 800 taels of tiger bones and 300 taels of bear bile. This has not been concocted. If it was concocted, the price can be multiplied. I I can only take out 800 taels at most here, and after I concoct these two things, I will send some of them to the capital, so that I can pay off the rest of the money."
Treasurer Sun didn't hide it either. If he didn't make it clear, the couple would not be at ease selling such a rare thing to him.
Dong Chenghu and Gu Shuixiu looked at each other, Gu Shuixiu nodded, Dong Chenghu made the decision immediately, "Okay, just do as Shopkeeper Sun wants, but how long will it take for your remaining money to settle?"
Storekeeper Sun was overjoyed and reassured: "Don't worry, you two, I'll make it right away when I take out the tiger bone and bear bile, and send it to the capital tomorrow. It takes about three months for a round trip. time."
Three months later, it will be the midsummer. As long as it does not enter the winter, it will not be difficult to walk. Moreover, with these 800 taels of silver, the couple can live in peace and stability for several years. The shopkeeper didn't refute what he said. Waiting for Shopkeeper Sun to set up the receipt and paid 800 taels, Dong Chenghu immediately took out the tiger bones according to Shopkeeper Sun's intention, and then dug out the bear galls of the black bear.
Shopkeeper Sun looked at the tiger skin with thousands of holes and exclaimed it was a pity. By the way, he recommended a relatively fair restaurant to Gu Shuixiu and his wife, and a skilled sheath leather master.
Dong Chenghu took the opportunity to separate the skin and meat, and went to a Yunlai restaurant according to the instructions of the shopkeeper Sun. The bear paw was sold for 80 taels, and the remaining meat was sold for 100 taels. This time, I got one hundred and eighty taels, plus the eight hundred taels in my arms, it was almost one thousand taels.
