Chapter 18: I don't want to go there yet
As soon as these words came out, how dare everyone wait, they all ran away without a trace.
"Miss An, say it."
"Uncle Lin, my father left two months ago." An Jiuyue said with an uneasy cough.
"gone?"
Shopkeeper Lin's eyes flashed and he raised his eyebrows, completely ignorant of what An Jiuyue meant.
"Very well, where did he go, or where is the life more comfortable than here in Sunset Town?" As he spoke, he looked at An Jiuyue again, and his eyes seemed to be even more puzzled. .
"Your father is gone, so why didn't you follow along?"
An Jiuyue: "!!"
Can she go with her there? She doesn't want to die so early!
"Cough, that... Uncle Lin, I'm still young, and I still have two children to take care of. I don't want to go there yet." She said quietly.
After listening to An Jiuyue's words, Manager Lin finally came to his senses. It turned out that the little girl said that she was gone, that's what she meant.
His face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he coughed slightly in embarrassment.
"How could this be like this? Although Lao Tutou is over sixty years old, but he is strong and strong, how can he just leave?"
"I met a tiger in the mountains. Although I escaped, I was too injured to survive." An Jiuyue sighed softly and said.
To say that her father is old, it is also a hard life. If she could have crossed over two months earlier, maybe she could have rescued him, but it was more than two months late.
"Oh, stop talking about this, what are you here for today?"
Seeing that the little girl was sad, the shopkeeper quickly changed the subject and asked.
"I hunted a hibernating snake on the mountain, and I brought it to Uncle Lin to have a look. I don't know if Uncle Lin will accept it?" An Jiuyue didn't say anything else, but gave the bamboo basket on her back to Uncle Lin. Put it down, and lift off the big plantain leaf that covers it.
"Scare, hiss!"
Rao, the manager of Lin, was also frightened by the snake meat in the bamboo basket.
Even if the flesh of such a big snake had been skinned and cut into pieces, he could see how big the snake was, and it was as thick as a big man's calf.
"Miss An, you can do it. In such a cold day, such a big snake has been rectified by you."
"Uncle Lin is willing to accept it?" An Jiuyue asked with a smile on her face.
"This is a good thing, of course I have to keep it." Manager Lin said.
This is a wild good thing, and it has been handled so well, so clean, can you not accept it?
"Miss An, you are the daughter of the old road head, and I won't give you all those fools. This snake, if you sell the whole one, it will cost 60 cents a pound, but you already have it all. After peeling it off, I'll give you eighty cents a pound, what do you think?"
he asks.
"good."
An Jiuyue naturally responded happily.
Eighty cents per catty is much better than she imagined. With so much snake meat, it is about thirty catties. That would be twenty taels of silver, enough for her to buy a lot of food.
I never imagined that this prey would sell so well.
But she knew that only the rare prey were sold well. If the common ones were replaced, a pheasant would only be about forty or fifty coppers at most, not too many.
Seeing that An Jiuyue responded, Manager Lin called the servant over to weigh the snake meat.
Similar to what An Jiuyue had estimated, the snake meat was a little over 30 catties, and the shopkeeper Lingtou Lin also counted it for her, and the total was 22,438 wen.
