Chapter 42 Zhang Tuzi collects animal skins
"My surname is Zhang. Everyone calls me Zhang Tuzi. I have been collecting skins in the town. I used to go hunting in the mountains. To be honest, I have never met anyone like you. The key to such a powerful hunter is that you are a woman. What should I say? Uncle, I don’t care about my appearance, but I care about talents. I didn’t mean anything else when I asked you if you were the little widow of the Liu family. You want to bully the little widow!"
Su Xiaoxiao said quickly: "That's not possible, Uncle Zhang."
In fact, the uncle in this picture looks quite nice and very loyal.
He said that the villagers in Baihua Village who bullied Su Xiaoxiao were so wicked. Such people should be respected. Why should they be bullied?
Su Xiaoxiao also agreed.
In this way, we arrived at Zhang Tuzi's shop. The shop looked quite big, and there were three waiters. They came out and helped carry the tiger into the shop, but neither of them could lift a piece of tiger skin.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't say anything, just picked up a piece of tiger skin and walked inside.
The other guys were stunned. Zhang Tuzi scolded his guys and said, "Look at how you all eat from me, but at the critical moment, your strength is not as strong as that of a weak woman."
The young guys bared their teeth, thinking that this woman was so powerful that even if the three of them were tied together, they would all be opponents.
After Su Xiaoxiao carried the two tiger skins in, Zhang Baldy didn't hesitate at all. He took out sixty taels of silver and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao.
"Take it."
Su Xiaoxiao thanked Zhang Tuzi and couldn't believe it, "Is this tiger skin so valuable?"
Zhang Tuzi also explained to Su Xiaoxiao, "Actually, you don't need to peel off all the tiger skin. Some buyers like to buy a whole tiger for collection. In that case, one tiger can give you one hundred taels of silver."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard it, it doubled? Then if she went to all the trouble to peel it off and sell it, wouldn't she suffer a loss?
Su Xiao learned about the silver and began to wander around the market.
With so much money in her hand, Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was quite dangerous. If she took it back to the village, people would be worried about it.
Presumably, the people in the village will soon know that I sold two tiger skins in the town this time.
Su Xiaoxiao thought that she should deposit the money into a bank account in the town as soon as possible.
Since she wanted to settle in this town, Su Xiaoxiao decided to come to the town for a thorough inspection first to make sure she knew what was going on.
Su Xiaoxiao left the market and started to rush to the east side of the town, where it was said that some wealthy people lived.
The further you go, the quieter you get, and you can see many large and beautifully built houses.
The road was very clean, not even a grass root could be seen on it, and generally the people passing by Su Xiaoxiao were tall horses, and Su Xiaoxiao's local ox cart looked dwarfed by comparison.
Su Xiaoxiao saw those beautifully built houses and thought how great it would be if she could live in them.
Every mansion is surrounded by high walls, and someone stands guard at the door. This is much safer, Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, if I lived in such a mansion, would those bad guys like Granny Liu still be able to crawl in and steal things?
With such a high wall, their legs would probably be broken if they turned over.
Su Xiaoxiao walked for a while and felt a little tired from shopping. She decided to find a place to rest and rest.
There happened to be a small noodle vendor on the street, and Su Xiaoxiao decided to take a rest here.
"Boss, give me a bowl of fried noodles."
When Su Xiaoxiao sat down to eat noodles, she asked the boss.
"Boss, do you live near here?"
When the noodle stall owner heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "How is that possible? Even if I sell noodles for a few more lifetimes, I still can't afford the house here!" The boss said that even if he had been doing business for a few more lifetimes, he couldn't afford the house here. house, Su Xiaoxiao asked: "How much does this house cost?"
The boss pointed at a house in the distance and said: "Look, the smallest house costs three hundred taels of silver. And the location is at the end. If the location inside is good, the area will be larger." Every house costs thousands of taels of silver.”
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't close her mouth. She really didn't expect that housing prices in the pre-Tang Dynasty had already started to be so high?
Besides, this is still in a town. If we go to the capital, the housing prices will be even more out of reach.
After Su Xiaoxiao finished eating the noodles, Ma Liu paid the money and left.
The noodle stall owner didn't care about Su Xiaoxiao's question just now. Besides, everyone has the right to have sweet dreams, right? Facing such large houses, who can not be tempted and want to live in them?
Su Xiaoxiao was wearing the clothes of an ordinary peasant woman and driving an inconspicuous ox cart. Just as the noodle stall owner thought, she did not look like someone who could afford to buy a house here.
After Su Xiaoxiao heard the price, she was somewhat disappointed.
Thinking of living in such a big house, I don't know how long I have to work hard.
In this world, people are really pitted against each other, which is really annoying.
Su Xiaoxiao found a bank account and deposited all the money in it. Then she bought some rice, pastries and other things and returned to the village.
On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao thought a lot.
It seems that it is a bit difficult to buy a house like that.
Su Xiaoxiao was a little disappointed. On the way back to the village while driving the bullock cart, she heard the villagers talking behind her back, saying that Su Xiaoxiao had made a lot of money this time, and those people were just a little jealous.
They were all jealous that Su Xiaoxiao could make money, but it was just because Su Xiaoxiao was a little widow that they all looked down upon.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't care. She returned home and as soon as she entered the yard, she saw Dabao and Xiaobao surrounding her.
She thought the two children saw her buying a lot of delicious pastries and rushed up.
The result was not, "Mom, you are back. Something happened to Saburo!"
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
Dabao said with a cry: "On the way back, I met my uncle and grandma. My grandma came over and snatched the old hen we were holding. The old hen was given to our house by Aunt Sun and asked us to take it back and raise it. Yeah, he said he might have laid an egg.”
"Xiaobao and I refused, so grandma stretched out her hand to beat us. As a result, Sanlang came to block us. The uncle was very angry and pushed Sanlang into the ditch next to him. Sanlang's legs fell so hard that he couldn't move."
When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, she understood what was going on, and she rushed into the house to see Saburo.
Sanlang's right thigh was covered in blood, and Su Xiaoxiao was so anxious that she wanted to reach out and pull up his pants to take a look.
Sanlang quickly stopped him.
"No, Miss Su, I'm not seriously injured, I'm fine."
Su Xiaoxiao really couldn't believe what he said. What do you mean it's not serious? How can you say it's not serious when there is blood on the right leg?
