Xuanyuan Que felt that this kind of question was particularly boring, so he nodded perfunctorily.
Of course the bigger the flower, the more beautiful it is, but it’s a pity that she is human now.
Ruoxuan was very happy when he nodded!
Sure enough, my brother doesn’t know how to appreciate flowers!
Only God Xuanyuan has vision.
Grandma Xuanyuan said she was plump, very cute, and very lucky!
Also, many people on the street were amazed when they saw her, don’t think she didn’t notice it!
She is definitely the most beautiful flower in heaven and earth.
The elder brother blames her for being fat because he is weak. When she goes back, she will tell her uncle to train her brothers' strength more so that they can't even lift her.
Then a few more goats came one after another, and Xuan Xuan’s eyes were so big!
Tonight’s Sheep Hot Pot is here!
Xuanyuan Que: "Catch him alive!"
Shopkeeper Gu and the two guards immediately used nets to trap the goats.
Goats can be tamed. These goats are large or small, male or female. After being raised, they can be slaughtered and eaten slowly.

In the evening, when the ancient shopkeeper ordered a bunch of prey to be sent to the weak families, the whole village was alarmed!
The brothers from the weak family ran into the house excitedly: "Grandma, mother, we are back, there are so many prey!"
At this time, it happened to be when everyone came back from the fields.
The exhausted villagers suddenly became energetic when they saw the carloads of prey!
Good guy!
A white fox!
Two wild boars!
Three wolves!
Four sika deer!
The deer had wounds on their bodies, and it looked like they had been bitten by some ferocious animal.
One, two, thirty-seven, seven live wild goats!
And a tiger!
There are also several cages of wild pigeons, several wild ducks, pheasants, and hares!
There are too many to count!
The people in the village just watched as carloads of prey were sent to weak families.
Old man Zhen went to discuss Zhen Yi's marriage with Butcher Zhu in the town today, and came back happily with a gift of one hundred and twenty taels. Butcher Zhu also promised to give him a big fat pig during the Chinese New Year. There were two big fat pigs at that time.
He was quite happy originally!
But when he saw these prey, he instantly felt unsatisfied!
If he had known that someone was giving so many prey to a weak family, he would not have discussed marriage with Butcher Zhu!
A tiger is worth hundreds of taels. He only needs one tiger from a weak family and that's enough!
Zhen Hu touched the one hundred and twenty taels of silver in his arms, and while thinking about returning it to Butcher Zhu, he followed the villagers into the weak home.
Mrs. Lei's heart skipped a beat when she saw the big tiger on the cart: "Shopkeeper Gu, is this?"
She turned her head and carefully counted the grandchildren who were excitedly surrounding the prey.
one two three four!
Fortunately, fortunately!
Not a single one is missing!
Mrs. Liu's feet went weak when she saw the tiger!
How could the Gu shopkeeper take his children to the mountains if he was unreliable?
Jiang looked at his two sons with a pale face.
Shopkeeper Gu smiled bitterly in his heart, he didn't expect this!
The prey on the mountain today is crazy!
He was probably scared crazy by this tiger.
He smiled bravely and said: "Today, the nurse at home went to the mountains to hunt some prey, and the old lady asked the younger ones to bring some over. Those pheasants, hares, and wild pigeons were hunted by the young masters on the mountainside."
Mrs. Lei was really relieved after hearing this.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Jiang breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Scared them to death!
They thought shopkeeper Gu had taken his children into the mountains.
The weaklings were frightened to death, but the neighbors were extremely envious!
Ruoshui was also surprised when he saw the tiger. His family was too poor before. He and Lao Wu went up the mountain to hunt tigers to make money, but they didn't meet him after walking a long way.
He asked curiously: "Where did you kill this tiger?"
Shopkeeper Gu: "."
Can he say it was brought to his door by the tiger himself?
Xuanyuan Que calmly told the tiger's original location: "Fifty miles away."
Ruoshui: It’s actually a deep mountain fifty miles away?
No wonder! He had only walked more than twenty miles.
Shopkeeper Gu twitched the corner of his mouth, he was obviously fifty steps away.
Ruoxuan said happily: "Uncle San, these wild goats, sika deer, wild pigeons, and hares are all alive and can be raised. Can you help me build a nest for them?"
Later, when her barren mountain is finished, she can raise it on the mountain.
Forget about wild ducks and pheasants, they fly away easily, so they can only be kept in chicken houses and eaten slowly.
Ruohe picked up Ruoxuan: "Of course!"
Mrs. Lei was embarrassed: "Shopkeeper Gu, we can't take in so many prey. We appreciate the old lady's kindness. If you can't finish it, just sell it!"
These prey add up to five hundred taels!
Shopkeeper Gu smiled and said: "Don't be polite, old lady. My old lady said that live goats and deer are hard to hunt and are reluctant to sell. You can keep them. You can kill them later and give her a piece of meat. That's it." The furs of the tiger and white fox are intact, and when the weather is getting cold, you can make a cloak for Xuan Bao."
Now that the conversation has come to this point, it’s hard for Mrs. Lei to refuse.
"Then thank the old lady for me. Just tell us when she wants to eat, and we will deliver it to the old lady."
"Okay, there are a few prey in the house now. It's enough to eat for the time being. After eating, they will come to ask for it. The old lady is still waiting for the little one to come back, so the little one will leave."
Mrs. Lei nodded and sent the person out.
Mrs. Liu quickly brought him two baskets of bamboo fungus and square bamboo shoots that she had prepared in advance.
After the old shopkeeper left, the villagers became active.
"Mother Lei, that family in the village on this mountain is so kind to you!"
"No, when there was a flood before, I took your family to live in the mountains. Now there are so many prey, and they are given away at any time! By the way, how did you get to know their family?"
He also wanted to get acquainted, but he was so generous, giving away a tiger worth several hundred taels as soon as he asked!
Mrs. Lei smiled and said, "I used to sell mountain goods. I didn't expect the old lady to be so generous."
Daniel: "Mrs. Lei, there are so many wild pigeons, you can't finish them all! Can you sell me two wild pigeons and a wild duck for ten cents?"
Wild pigeons are hard to hunt, and pigeons can be replenished.
Baocai Taitai: "Hey, these wild pigeons were given by others, where do you need ten cents? Mrs. Lei, I will give you five cents, you can sell me a few of them!"
At this time, a pigeon laid a small egg in the cage. Baocai Tama and Da Niu Tama both pointed at the pigeon and said, "I want this one! This egg must also belong to me!"
Others also wanted to buy it, but it was only ten cents or five cents. The price was really unaffordable.
Someone said: "Mrs. Lei, fifty cents each, sell me two wild pigeons. My wife is about to give birth, I will buy two to make up for her."
Ruoxuan shook her little head: "I won't sell it, we have to raise it."
Wild pigeons can be domesticated, and they can also be domesticated into homing pigeons. The ancient shopkeeper said that selling homing pigeons is more valuable.
In the future, after her brothers go to the academy to study, she can still fly pigeons with them to pass letters.
Mrs. Lei laughed and said, "I'm sorry, these pigeons were given by others, as you have heard. In the future, if the old lady wants to eat them and will come to ask for them, we will not sell them."
Ten articles? Five articles? Domestic pigeons can be sold for 200 coins each in the city market, which is more expensive than hens.
Pigeons feed people, which only wealthy families can afford.
Mrs. Lei knew that the ladies of wealthy families who were in confinement, as well as the frail young men and young ladies, all liked to use pigeons to replenish their health.
Old Man Zhen smiled and said, "What are you thinking? You want to buy wild pigeons for just a few pennies, why not rob them? Let's go, don't just think about taking advantage of others' weak families!"
Now Old Man Zhen looked at the prey and regarded them as his own.
Especially the tiger and the white fox!
