Chapter 27 -27 Going to Town with Him (3)_1
After half an hour, they finally arrived in town.
Compared to Daping Village, Qingshui Town was indeed much livelier, especially since today was the market day.
There were sellers everywhere, and there were no urban patrols, vendors merely paid a safeguarding fee of five wen to maintain order.
Upon her first visit to town, Nan Feng found everything fascinating, not because she was country bumpkin, but because the items for sale were all handmade artworks or snacks made in the countryside.
If these items were in her previous life, they would surely be treasures sought after by antique collectors!
Ye Ge saw how curious Nan Feng was about everything, which reminded him of the ordinary girls back in Daping Village.
These articles and foods were too common to evoke his interest, and neither the craftsmen nor the snacks were particularly exquisite.
Soon, they arrived at a restaurant named “Fumanlou”.
This was the largest restaurant in town, with two floors.
At this mealtime, both upstairs and downstairs were full of diners.
A mixed aroma of dishes and liquor greeted them, making Nan Feng involuntarily salivate.
Nan Feng asked Ye Ge, “Do you usually sell your game here?”
Ye Ge replied affirmatively, then led Nan Feng to the back door.
There were people coming in and out of the back door, mostly the restaurant’s porters, as well as some vendors delivering fresh vegetables.
Upon entering, they saw a middle-aged, overweight man dressed like a butler, who was settling accounts with a vegetable vendor.
Ye Ge said to Nan Feng, “His name is Afu, and he is in charge of procurement here.”
“Oh,” Nan Feng nodded and then lined up behind him.
Besides vegetable vendors, there were people delivering fresh fruit.
Finally, the plump man finished the calculation with the person before him, then turned to Ye Ge, “Yo, you’re here again?
What game did you get today?”
Ye Ge put the hemp-bag on his shoulder in front of Afu, “One wolf, two civet cats.”
Afu was overjoyed, “A wolf?
That’s rare!
Recently, the influential Liu and Zhang families from town have been asking for such savage delicacies.
I didn’t expect you to bring it today.”
“You can check the goods first, if they’re good, offer a good price,” Ye Ge said.
Afu opened the bag, took out the wolf and said, “Yo, when did you hunt it?”
“Last night.”
“It’s pretty fresh; I’ll weigh it first then I’ll pay you per the usual rate,” Afu lifted the wolf onto the scale and excitedly added, “Yo, it’s more than forty pounds, I can offer you one string of cash.”
A string of cash is one thousand wen, which can buy a thousand sesame seed cakes, Nan Feng was quite content.
However, Ye Ge wasn’t satisfied yet, “Now, hunting wolves, has become more dangerous, I almost lost my life hunting it, could you add a bit more?”
Afu replied, “This is the fixed price set by the boss, I can’t offer any more, else we’d be at a loss.”
“How could you be?
After resale, you’re going to earn twenty taels of silver, that’s a twenty-fold profit.
Add another 500 wen, or I’ll take it to the ‘Yuelai’ restaurant.”
“Um…” Afu seemed to be in difficulty.
Nan Feng added from the side, “So there’s more than one restaurant in this town.
I thought this was the only one.”
“…”
Together, they eventually got 1500 wen, Nan Feng was quite satisfied.
When Afu was handing over the money, he asked Ye Ge, “Is this girl your wife?”
Nan Feng suddenly looked up at Ye Ge, curious about what he would say.
Ye Ge glanced at Nan Feng, then replied indifferently, “No, she’s a girl from the village.
She had some business in town, so I brought her along.”
Somehow, Nan Feng felt a hint of disappointment at that moment.
Indeed, that was the actual nature of their relationship.
