After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 20
After Qin Yao dragged the black bear back to the cave, it was completely dark.

This black bear weighed about [-] catties, and Qin Yao couldn't carry it easily, so he made a simple stretcher out of tree branches and dragged it back.

This stretcher is quite easy to use, Qin Yao decided to use it to pull all the prey hunted these days down the mountain early tomorrow morning.

The bloody smell of wounds on black bears can easily attract other hunting beasts.

Although Qin Yao was not injured in the fight with the black bear just now, it consumed a lot of her energy. In addition, she would have to take the prey down the mountain tomorrow, so she had to conserve her energy tonight.

Throughout the night, several tentative howls of wild beasts were heard from time to time in the surrounding woods. Qin Yao did not dare to slack off at all, and raised two fires outside the cave to be on guard at all times.

Sensing that the danger was approaching, he immediately shot an arrow to warn him, and tried to get out of the cave as much as possible.In this way, a ray of orange glow finally appeared on the horizon.

Not daring to delay, I ate two roasted pheasants without delay, tied the black bear and other prey to the trailer, and set off down the mountain.

Instead of walking in the direction she came, she bypassed the mountains and walked directly towards the county seat of Kaiyang County.

The town near this black bear must not be able to eat it, and she doesn't have the energy to split it up and sell it little by little. It's better to go further and go directly to the county town. There are many rich people there, so it should be able to sell faster.

When going up the mountain, Qin Yao walked very quickly while traveling lightly.

Now that he was carrying [-] catties of prey and was still going downhill, Qin Yao couldn't get up to speed at all.

But maybe because of the harvest, I was in a good mood, so I walked out of the forest and came to the official road without realizing it.

It was almost dusk.

There is no curfew in Shengguo, but the city gates will be closed at the end of You hour (5-7 pm), and entry and exit are prohibited.

Dragging the heavy prey, Qin Yao hurried and hurried, and finally entered Kaiyang County before the city gate was closed.

To enter the city, you need to pay an entry fee, one penny per person.

Qin Yao didn't have half a copper on her body. She sold a pheasant weighing more than four kilograms at the city gate and earned [-] pence. She paid one penny to enter the city.

The guard at the gate of the city saw the black bear on her bracket, and his expression ranged from disbelief to stunned.

In less than a stick of incense, the news that someone had hunted Xiong Xiazi and brought him into the city to sell him reached the ears of two restaurant owners in the city.

"But really?" Shopkeeper Fan asked in surprise.

Xiao Er, who went to inquire, nodded hurriedly, "It's true, shopkeeper, I've never seen such a big blind man in my life, his head is bigger than mine, you should hurry up, I'm afraid it's too late It was bought by the opposite door!"

When Shopkeeper Fan heard that the opposite house was about to pass, he didn't care about being surprised, and immediately rushed to the gate of the city.

Qin Yao is currently eating at the wonton stand near the city gate.

She ordered five bowls of wontons stuffed with pork, one bowl of [-] Wen, and forty copper coins on the stall owner's cutting board. She sat down calmly at the only square table, picked up the bowl, and took one bite after another. Dine.

The speed at which the stall owner cooked the wontons was not as fast as she could eat. She ate three bowls in a row, and the fourth bowl was still in the pot. It's cooking."

While talking, his eyes glanced at the prey randomly piled up on the roadside from time to time.

Four pheasants, two squirrels, a roe deer, and a marten are still alive.

On ordinary days, live prey is rare, if the hunter is holding a live prey, it means that this is definitely a hunter with excellent hunting skills.

But these living creatures are not unusual at all today, just because there is a big black bear lying next to them.

There were knife marks on the bear's abdomen and neck, and I don't know which one told it to meet Hades.

The stall owner served the last two bowls of wontons to Qin Yao and glanced at the short knife she kept at hand.

This knife is very old, the back of the knife is rusty and uneven, the handle is wrapped in rags, and there are some dark marks on it.

With just one glance, the stall owner was sure that it was blood!

Looking at the woman sitting calmly at the table, holding a bowl and eating heavily, the stall owner really couldn't imagine how she subdued the black bear.

Sensing the gaze of the stall owner, Qin Yao raised her eyelids from the bowl, and stared at him calmly with a pair of clear black and white pupils without any impurities.

The look in his eyes didn't look like he was looking at a person, but like he was looking at something that was not a human being. Maybe it was a ghost?
The stall owner felt a chill down his spine for no reason, hurriedly lowered his eyes, turned around and pretended to be busy.

When shopkeeper Fan arrived, Qin Yao had just finished her fifth bowl of wontons, her stomach was eighty percent full, and she looked satisfied.

Traveling to the present, this is her first serious meal.

Sure enough, the sky and the earth are big, and eating is the biggest.

After eating enough, I feel that the world has become better again.

"Girl, did you hunt this black bear?" Shopkeeper Fan asked in surprise.

He just heard Xiao Er say that a girl beat the black bear, he still didn't believe it, but now that he saw the real person, he had to believe it.

Hearing someone ask Xiong, Qin Yao stood up with a knife, walked to her stall, and responded to the middle-aged man who asked:

"It's mine, do you want it? I can give you a cheaper price if you take the whole head away."

Shopkeeper Fan looked at Qin Yao again and again at the black bear, and then looked around. He didn't find any vehicles such as donkey carts, horse carts, and bullock carts, so he couldn't help asking:
"The girl carried all these down the mountain alone?"

Qin Yao nodded and continued to promote his prey, "These living animals are still fresh. I killed this black bear yesterday evening. It's not hot today, so everything is fine."

Shopkeeper Fan followed along and asked, "Then how much is this black bear girl going to sell?"

"How much do you pay?" Qin Yao asked back.

As soon as she entered the city, she was attracted by the wontons. She happened to be hungry and filled her stomach first without having time to inquire about the selling price of these prey.

Shopkeeper Fan thought about it, and tentatively compared a number, "80 taels."

Qin Yao immediately calculated in her mind. According to the highest living standards in Liujia Village, a family of five would spend about 20 taels a year. These 80 taels are equivalent to four years of good food and drink.

Well, that's almost it.

Bear meat is actually not particularly valuable. It is more expensive than pork. It can sell for fifty or sixty yuan a catty. Her black bear weighs seven hundred catties. Taking a compromise, the bare meat should sell for 40 taels.

Mainly the bear skin, bear bile, and bear paws, 40 taels is not bad.

"Okay, 80 taels for a deal!"

Qin Yao even kindly gave away a pheasant as an extra head.

"Would you like me to deliver it to you?" Qin Yao asked with a smile, seeing that the shopkeeper and Xiaoer were at a loss for what to do with the black bear's corpse.

Without waiting for the two to answer, Qin Yao put the knife and bow and arrow on the bracket, lifted the entire trailer, raised her chin to Shopkeeper Fan, motioned for him to lead the way, and walked away.

Seeing the heavy 'Black Bear Mountain' drifting past, shopkeeper Fan was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

"This, her..." Shopkeeper Fan was a little incoherent.

Qin Yao shouted from the front: "Let's go!" She was waiting for the check.
