Chapter 17 – Rich!
“Are you the one selling wild game? Where is your adult?”
“My father is hunting on the mountain and instructed me to sell in town.”
“Oh! Your father is a hunter?”
“Yes.”
When the chubby chef saw Gu Yu, his small eyes, squeezed by the flesh on his face, stared intently at Gu Yu. He seemed to be emitting light, which would make Gu Yu think he was a pervert if he didn’t know the backstory.
However, it was precisely because of the chubby chef’s enthusiastic attitude that Gu Yu didn’t mind telling a small lie at this time.
Anyway, the restaurant accepts wild game, and he planned to supply it long-term. So, it was better to fabricate a hunter father to ensure smooth transactions between both parties in the future.
At the same time, Gu Yu wanted to prevent the restaurant from cheating him, seeing that he was young and easy to bully, and not paying him after taking the goods.
“What wild game are you planning to sell this time?”
“Three wild chickens and seven wild rabbits. I don’t know if master accepts them.”
“Yes, yes, yes! The restaurant will accept any wild game your father hunts in the future, and the price will be absolutely fair!”
“How much does master plan to pay for these wild game?”
With a few simple words, Gu Yu and the restaurant reached a verbal agreement.
However, these are future matters. The most important thing now is what price the restaurant will offer for this wild game.
Gu Yu was very short on silver right now.
“The market price for chicken is fifteen wen per jin, and for rabbit it’s twenty wen per jin. Wild game is more expensive than farmed animals, and the restaurant is currently in need. Therefore, wild chicken will be thirty wen per jin, and wild rabbit will be forty wen per jin. The price will definitely satisfy you.”
“Okay.”
Gu Yu immediately agreed upon hearing the chubby chef’s quotation.
It was similar to what he had inquired about. Wild game’s price was directly doubled, which was a very good price.
After all, it was autumn, and hunting season with plenty of prey, so the price for wild game purchased by restaurants wouldn’t be outrageously high.
The wild chickens and rabbits that Gu Yu brought were all plump. Each wild chicken weighed five to six jin, and the fat rabbits even weighed a few more jin.
The chubby chef asked a waiter to bring a steelyard scale. After weighing each one, the wild chickens weighed fifteen jin, and the wild rabbits weighed ninety-eight jin, totaling 4370 wen.
Afterward, to encourage Gu Yu to sell wild game again, the chubby chef also paid for the rabbit skins. Each rabbit skin was thirty wen. The total price was calculated as 4500 wen, giving Gu Yu four taels of silver and five qian of broken silver.
As to why the restaurant also bought the rabbit skins, the chubby chef’s reasoning was that complete wild game, when slaughtered and cooked, tasted more fragrant! If the skins were removed in advance, who knew how fresh they were.
He then further instructed Gu Yu to bring any wild game with fur directly to the restaurant in the future. Even if the fur wasn’t bought, they would help skin it for free.
Upon receiving four taels of silver all at once, even Gu Yu, as a transmigrator, couldn’t help but smile.
After calculating in his mind, he decided to make another transaction.
“Hey, master! I want to ask, do you accept roe deer?”
“Yes, yes, yes! Do you have more roe deer?”
“My father just hunted one. If you accept it, master, I won’t look for other buyers and will sell it directly to you.”
“Deal. Roe deer meat is ninety wen per jin. If it’s the whole roe deer, I’ll add ten wen per jin.”
As expected, it was a very profitable deal.
Gu Yu thought about the weight of the roe deer in his space and was even happier, exclaiming that he had earned a lot that day.
However, this roe deer was not light. It had taken a lot of effort to smash it to death. Gu Yu had even found a small hillside, placed gravel and sharp branches at the bottom, and repeatedly dropped it to kill it.
The roe deer’s fur and skin were all damaged and tattered, so even if he sold them, he wouldn’t get much money.
With his small physique now, he definitely couldn’t carry it. Fortunately, he had the space, this cheat artifact, which saved him a lot of trouble.
“Okay, I’ll find some time to bring it over later.”
“Have your father bring it over now.”
Gu Yu sold the roe deer to the chubby chef, but since he couldn’t take it out directly, they agreed to find a time to deliver it later. However, the chubby chef directly proposed having Gu Yu’s father bring it over now.
Besides worrying about delays, the chubby chef also wanted to talk to the adult to confirm their transaction relationship.
However, if the chubby chef wanted to find Gu Yu’s father, he would probably only find him in the Underworld.
