Collecting Money

“Hmph! Fine!” She was so angry that she shook her hand and led her son away.

The child was still crying loudly, demanding that her mother buy pork for him. She beat him a few times before he stopped and left with his mother.

There was a burst of laughter behind them.

Lin Xiaoyue pretended like she wanted to stop her, but she didn’t say anything.

“Xiaoyue, don’t worry about her.” It was the village chief’s wife who walked over.

This was an old lady with a refreshing face. Obviously, she looked much younger and more energetic than the other ladies of the same age in the village.

“That’s the Chen family. They are cheap!”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled with a helpless expression.

The women all came forward to comfort Lin Xiaoyue.

“Xiaoyue, did Chef Liu of Ruyi Restaurant really say that he would accept your prey?” Someone asked.

The surrounding women immediately looked at the woman who asked.

The woman’s expression was awkward. “I’m just asking! I heard from my husband that the price that Ruyi Restaurant offers is not bad, but the requirements are very high. They only accept ingredients of a certain quality.”

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“Ruyi Restaurant pays attention to the quality of the ingredients. Indeed, they only want fresh prey that doesn’t have too many wounds. Chef Liu must have thought that my prey was fresh, so he said that he would accept all of them,” she said modestly.

As soon as she said this, everyone understood two things. First, Chef Liu of Ruyi Restaurant did say that he would accept all of Lin Xiaoyue’s goods. Second, Lin Xiaoyue was not only good at hunting, but she was also very good at handling her prey.

After learning about these facts, the women became even more enthusiastic about Lin Xiaoyue.

They asked Lin Xiaoyue where she killed the wild boar and where she usually hunted. They also asked her how she learned her skills, or if she would charge them a lower price if they bought more.

Lin Xiaoyue responded with a smile and answered each and every one of them patiently.

Liu Shi, who had just finished boiling the water, had a complicated look on her face when she saw this scene.

It was Aunt Wang who pulled her into the crowd.

Once Liu Shi came, the women quickly focused on her.

Some said that she was lucky and that her daughter was so capable.

Some said that she was good at sewing, and asked if they could ask her for some advice.

It was the first time that so many people were talking to her, and Liu Shi agreed. If they were interested, they could come to her in the afternoon to do embroidery work together.

Everyone found that the mother and daughter were both very easy to talk to. They were not the loners they thought they were, and they became much closer to them.

After chatting for a while, Uncle Wang and the others had already shaved off the wild boar’s fur, cut open its stomach, and hung the wild boar on the shelf.

“Alright, it’s time to divide the pork!”

Hearing Uncle Wang’s shout, the people surrounding the mother and daughter dispersed and quickly surrounded the wild boar.

“Xiaoyue, come over to weigh and collect the money!” Uncle Wang said.

“Okay!” Lin Xiaoyue responded and held Aunt Wang, who was holding the scale and preparing to hand it to her.

“Aunt Wang, please help me,” she lowered her voice and pleaded.

Aunt Wang knew that Lin Xiaoyue was worried that she couldn’t handle so many people, so she agreed.

“Okay!” She replied and walked over with Lin Xiaoyue.

Uncle Wang saw the two of them coming over and looked at the crowd again.

“Who’s first?”

“I’m first! Give me 3 pounds of fatty meat!” A woman came forward.

“3 pounds of fatty meat!” Uncle Wang chanted and held the knife.

After cutting some meat off, Aunt Wang weighed it while introducing Lin Xiaoyue to the customers and how to address them.

Lin Xiaoyue was sweet-tongued and fast at calculation. Her movements were also very agile.
