Xu Dazhuang is a single household in the village. His parents died of illness early, and he has an older sister who married when he was a teenager. He also planted a field, but it was a pity that he was not born with that kind of material. After planting for a long time, all the crops in the field died. His sister couldn't keep supporting him, so in desperation, he went into the mountains to hunt. This dozen lasted for more than ten years.
At first, I could only hunt hares and pheasants. Later, when I gradually learned how to draw a bow, I was able to hunt weasels and roe deer. I also hunted wolves and foxes before. After all, the more ferocious the beast, the higher the selling price. The year before last, he met a tiger that was just dying. The tiger died of old age naturally.
He thought that what Qiao Wei encountered was the same as what he had encountered before, but when he followed Qiao Wei and Aunt Luo to the mountain, what he saw was the body of a strong tiger, and he was stunned.
"This... this... you really killed this?" Xu Dazhuang was dumbfounded.
Qiao Wei smiled coyly, and said with some "fear": "I don't think I killed it, it was injured, it was dying, and it climbed up the tree with its neck up, I gave it to it in a hurry. One cut, and that's it."
Aunt Luo may not be able to imagine that scene. Xu Dazhuang is a hunter, so she understands that under such circumstances, it is indeed not good for the tiger. If it were him, he should be able to kill it. But he is a hunter, he knows how to kill tigers. Xiao Qiao is a woman, how could she cut it so accurately when she made a hasty cut? Just cut it a little bit crookedly, and Xiao Qiao will die.
Seeing him staring at the wound on the tiger's neck, Qiao Wei understood that he was suspicious. This knife of mine was indeed too ruthless and accurate, not to mention weak women, even men are rarely able to do this. But she couldn't tell Xu Dazhuang that she was not the original owner, but Dr. Qiao who used knives every day in the 21st century.
"I'm terrified, really... I have the determination to die." Qiao Wei's voice trembled, she lowered her head, and grabbed the corner of her clothes with her slender fingers. The afterglow of the setting sun slanted in and shone on Qiao Wei's thin figure. A section of her neck was slightly exposed, white and weak, as if it would break if it was slightly folded.
Such a girl, if she hadn't been lucky, would have died long ago.
Xu Dazhuang shook his head, feeling that his doubts were too much, and said to Qiao Wei, "Don't run into the mountains again."
She said the same thing as Aunt Luo, and she was also kind-hearted.
Qiao Wei nodded slightly: "Understood, Big Brother."
Big Brother? Xu Dazhuang was stunned again. The younger people in the village called him that, but it was the first time he heard it from Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao seems... not the same as before, still weak, but not annoying anymore.
Xu Dazhuang checked the tiger carefully: "It's better than the one I had last time."
"How much does Big Brother think you can sell it for?"
Xu Dazhuang thought for a while: "It's hard to say, it depends on what price the buyer asks. But in winter, there are few prey, so the price should be higher than usual. You are an adult tiger, and the tiger skin is in good condition. I will try my best to give it to you. Sell it at this price."
He made a gesture of two.
Qiao Wei blinked: "Two hundred taels?"
Xu Dazhuang had a "what-are-you say what?" expression.
Qiao Wei's heart was pounding: "Two thousand taels?"
Tiger so valuable? God, she sent it!
"Twenty taels."
A basin of cold water poured down!
Qiao Wei's little face was darkened: "Brother Zhuang, why are you only twenty taels? This is a real tiger! Do you know how many treasures are on the tiger?" Tiger kidney can cure scrofula, tiger gall can cure epilepsy , tiger tendons can cure rheumatism, tiger eyes can shock and improve eyesight, tiger ointment can cure hemorrhoids, tiger whip can strengthen yang, tiger meat and skin can cure malaria, and tiger ointment, tiger bones, and tiger teeth are all medicines.
Xu Dazhuang smiled and said: "Of course I know, that's why I can say that you can sell it for twenty taels. My previous tiger only sold for ten taels."
Qiao Wei only listened to ten or twenty, and thought it was quite little, but after learning about the local prices with Aunt Luo, she found that one tael of silver in this dynasty was equivalent to six hundred in modern times, and twenty taels was 10,000. two. In modern times, a tiger can be sold for an astonishing price of 300,000 yuan, but there are few tigers in modern times, and hunting tigers will result in imprisonment;
Thinking of this, Qiao Wei felt that twenty taels was not too little.
She smiled slightly: "Brother Zhuang, twenty taels is twenty taels. If you sell more, they will all be yours."
Selling without compensation and selling with compensation will definitely have different results. She is not greedy, she still wants to do long-term business with Xu Dazhuang in the future, it is better to let Xu Dazhuang taste the sweetness first.
Xu Dazhuang happily agreed. Before leaving, Xu Dazhuang glanced at the main room, waved his hand and said, "If you want to sell that thing, I can sell it at a high price."
That... thing
Qiao Wei looked in the direction Xu Dazhuang pointed, and it turned out to be that damned little white dumpling! How did it come here? He was still standing between the two children, shamelessly showing off his small pectoral muscles and biceps.
The children were all fascinated by it, and Qiao Wangshu applauded it even more.
It became even more snarky, turning around gracefully, showing off its sexy and charming tail.
Qiao Wei's face turned green: "How much is it, let's sell it!"
When Xiaobai Tuanzi heard that he was about to be sold, his little paw thumped and fell into Qiao Wangshu's arms.
Qiao Wangshu hugged the little thing in his arms, feeling like his heart was about to melt, he rubbed his face against its soft mink fur, and said softly, "Mother, it's so cute, can I raise it?" it?"
Qiao Wei heard her gnashing of teeth...
…
As expected, Xu Dazhuang was the only hunter in the "Four Seas and Eight Barrens". He was very efficient in his work, and the next day he went to drag the tiger to the town to sell it. When it was dark, he entered Qiao Wei's yard excitedly: "Little Qiao! You Come out and see!"
Qiao Wei was making dinner. The rabbit at noon was only half stewed, and the remaining half was ready to be grilled. As soon as she set up a fire in the yard, she saw Xu Dazhuang coming. She got up and said hello, "Brother Dazhuang."
Xu Dazhuang took out a money bag from his arms: "You count it, there are thirty taels in total!"
"So much?" Qiao Wei widened her eyes and took the money bag. She actually doesn't know how to count ancient silver, but Xu Dazhuang wouldn't lie to her either. Brother Big Zhuang, didn’t I say that it’s only twenty taels? Take the rest yourself.”
Xu Dazhuang scratched his head and smiled: "I've already taken it." Then he took out another money bag, "I met a nobleman who gave me thirty-five taels, and I took five taels, you can keep the rest for yourself .”
Qiao Wei said: "How can this work? I agreed that I only need twenty taels, and you can sell thirty-five taels. It's up to you, but it's not guaranteed to me." This is the truth, she is a woman who sells it Tiger, just wait to be fooled.
Xu Dazhuang refused to accept it. He didn't earn five taels a month, but it was just a matter of running errands for others. Don't be too greedy. You still have to be kind.
Qiao Wei saw that his attitude was firm, so she didn't force it anymore, and as a thank you, she stayed with Xu Dazhuang for dinner.
Unexpectedly, something happened to this dinner.
