Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 389 Selling Things in the County Town 2

The waiter was afraid that the guests were illiterate, so he read out the menu and quoted the prices.

Lu Chuan ordered four dishes according to the tastes of several people, as well as four bowls of rice and a bowl of soup.

After ordering, Lu Chuan asked the waiter, "I wonder if your boss is here. We brought some game. Can I trouble you to ask your boss if he needs any game?"

When the waiter heard this, his eyes lit up. You know, game is very hard to come by now, and there are only a few hunters around the county. It is very difficult for ordinary guests to eat some game.

Then the waiter's smile became even brighter. "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and invite our shopkeeper."

After the waiter finished speaking, he led the four people to a seat nearby and asked them to sit down and wait.

After the waiter had arranged all these, he quickly ran to the backyard to find the shopkeeper, who was worrying about the ingredients. If he succeeded in doing this, the shopkeeper would definitely reward him, and he would get some money as a reward.

And the fact was just as the waiter thought. When Shopkeeper Hong heard that someone came to buy prey, he immediately came out from the backyard.

When he saw the few people, Shopkeeper Hong bowed and said, "I am the shopkeeper of this restaurant. My last name is Hong, so you can call me Shopkeeper Hong. I wonder if these guests have brought prey. Can you let me see where the prey is?"

Although this sentence is a question, it is indeed a very affirmative question.

Lu Chuan did not shy away and returned the greeting, saying, "I am Lu Chuan. This is the prey we brought. The prey is now on the cart outside. Shopkeeper, please follow me."

Xu Han did not stand up when she saw this. Lu Chuan could handle this little thing by himself, so she just stayed here and ate. As for the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao, they naturally would not interfere and did not move at all during the whole process.

Lu Chuan led Manager Hong to the cart, then lifted the oilcloth covering the cart. What came into view was white pork, wild roe deer and the like.

Shopkeeper Hong was surprised for a moment, but then he regained his composure. "With so many prey, Brother Lu is really an expert."

Lu Chuan also said politely, "I don't have such a good ability. If it weren't for the help of my family, I wouldn't be able to hunt so many prey."

Shopkeeper Hong thought about the people he had just seen behind Lu Chuan, and thought that they were the family members he mentioned. Then he took them seriously again, thinking that this family was really not simple.

Especially the man in the Taoist robe, who looked quite skilled. It seemed that it was not difficult for him to hunt two wild boars and so many preys at this time. However, he still said calmly, "Brother Lu, you are too modest. Now it is the end of the year. To tell you the truth, our restaurant is also short of game. Unfortunately, our shop is too small and we cannot eat so much game at once."

"It doesn't matter. Shopkeeper Hong, just choose as many as you need. I'll sell the rest at the market."

"Hahaha, then I won't be polite." Then he called the waiter and asked the chef in the backyard to come over and select the game.

Shopkeeper Hong turned around and continued to say to Lu Chuan, "Pork in the market now costs 17 wen per jin. This is wild boar meat. I'll give you 22 wen per jin. Do you think this price is feasible?"

Lu Chuan thought about it in his mind. Because of the natural disaster, the price of pork has indeed increased a lot compared to before. The price of wild boar meat is indeed not low, so he nodded and agreed.

After a while, a fat, big-eared middle-aged man came from the backyard. He was wearing an apron and was obviously cooking in the backyard.

Shopkeeper Hong introduced, "This is the chef of our restaurant."

The two nodded to each other as a greeting.

After selecting the meat, Lu Chuan followed them to the backyard to weigh it. This time he sold a total of three taels and 260 coins.

After Lu Chuan took the money, he hurried back to the dining table. The food was delivered at that moment. Lu Chuan gave the money to Xu Han to put away, then picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

While eating, he told a few people what happened just now. "This time, wild boar meat is sold for 25 coins per pound, roe deer meat is 20 coins, and dried mushrooms are sold for 15 coins per pound. The prices of these things are a bit higher than before. When we go to the market later, we can also sell them at this price."

Xu Han nodded and said, "This price is indeed not high. After all, everything is in short supply here, and prices will be higher than before in the short term."

"There are still a lot of things left. Do you want us to go to other restaurants and ask later?"

Xu Han thought about it and refused. "We haven't contacted other restaurants, so let's not go there yet. The market is very busy right now. Let's go to the market first and try to sell. If it doesn't work, we can go to the restaurant to ask."

"That's fine, let's go to the market first. Let's eat quickly, or there will be no one there if we go too late."

Upon hearing this, several people quickly started eating. After finishing their meal, they walked towards the market. When they arrived at the market, they paid five cents for the stall fee to the yamen runner, and then found a place to set up the stall.

Because they arrived a little late, the seat Lu Chuan found was not a very good one, and there were few people around.

Xu Han helped Lu Chuan put the things in order. The dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots were placed in the sack. They just needed to open the mouth so that buyers could see them.

As for wild boar meat and other game, use the oilcloth that had just covered the pork to spread it on the ground again, and then put the pork on it.

Lu Chuan was sharpening a knife while waiting for customers to come.

Xu Han observed for a while and saw that the passers-by were not coming this way. She thought that this was not going to work. If she continued like this, she would not be able to sell anything.

So he shouted loudly, "We're selling wild boar meat. Fresh wild boar meat. Fresh game. We also have delicious dried mushrooms and bamboo shoots. Don't miss it if you pass by. Come and have a look. There's always something you want. It's cheap and affordable."

The sudden sound startled everyone. The Taoist priest patted his chest and said, "You damn girl, you didn't say a word when you shouted. You scared me to death."

Hearing this, Xu Han smiled even more happily, and ignored the Taoist priest, continuing to shout loudly.

Seeing Xu Han shouting so loudly, Lu Chuan also started to imitate her.

When Mu'er saw that her parents were shouting, she started shouting too.

I have to say that the effect was quite good. After a few people shouted twice, they saw a woman coming over with a basket.

"They really are selling game meat. I haven't eaten game meat for a long time. How are they selling wild boar meat?"

As soon as Xu Han saw the woman in front of her, she knew she was someone who was willing to spend money. She was plump from eating, and her smile was particularly festive, giving people a very comfortable feeling.
