The first lord of the poor family

Chapter 9 Changed a Donkey
After returning home, Qiaoer saw that he had caught so many prey.

She covered her mouth with her hands in shock.

"Oh my God, I'm not dreaming! How did my husband catch so many prey?"

Lin Hai felt particularly accomplished when he saw Qiao'er's surprised look.

He said proudly: "This is your husband's ability, isn't it awesome!"

"By the way, close your eyes now and I'll give you another surprise!"

"What surprise?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just close your eyes now?"

Qiaoer had no choice but to close her eyes obediently.

"Open your mouth again, wider!"

Lin Hai broke off a small piece of honey and put it directly in her mouth.

Qiaoer tasted it and opened her eyes in shock.

"It's so sweet. Could it be honey?"

"Yes, is it delicious?"

Qiaoer closed her eyes and tasted it slowly, almost shedding tears of happiness.

Nodding vigorously.

"It's so delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious."

Lin Hai picked up the covered leaves in the backpack and said with a smile: "There are many more here. If you like to eat, I will keep these for you."

"How can you keep such a good thing for yourself? It's better to sell it in exchange for some grain and salt! With so much honey, you can exchange for a lot of grain!" Qiaoer said quickly.

"What does this mean? I can find it again in the future."

"I don't want my husband to take any chances. Look at your face being stung by bees and it's swollen."

"Ms., please sit down and rest for a while. I'll get some water and give you a cold compress."

Lin Hai indeed felt very tired and sat on a chair to rest.
Qiaoer brought a basin of cold water, soaked it with a handkerchief, and gently wiped Lin Hai's face.

"Master, don't go hunting again tomorrow. Take a good rest and I will wash your clothes. Some places are scratched, please mend them."

"I will go fishing tomorrow. I won't be tired from catching fish and can rest again.

I'll make some hunting clothes for me later. It's really inconvenient to wear a robe. "

"Okay, I will buy some cloth to make clothes for my husband tomorrow." Qiaoer agreed.

Lin Hai washed his face and put on another robe.

There are only two pieces of clothing in total, and this one has patches.

Therefore, Lin Hai can only be used as a backup in normal times.

Lin Hai thought for a while and sold the honey in exchange for something useful.

From now on, we can just go hunting in the mountains and look for bees.

Moreover, Lin Hai knew several ways to find bees, so he would not worry about not finding the honeycomb.

After resting for a while, it was still some time before dark.

"Qiao'er, stew this wild rabbit, and I'll sell the rest. It's already dead and can't stay overnight. The weather will be too hot and it will go bad."

"My husband is so tired, why don't I sell it?"

"I feel much better now that I don't need to rest. Besides, it's not safe for you to go out alone as a woman in the evening."

Qiaoer felt very sweet after hearing this.

Lin Haike had never cared about him so much before.

"How about I go with my husband? You have to carry so many things on the road, so I can help you carry them."

Lin Hai also felt that he really couldn't hold it any longer.

He nodded and agreed: "Okay, then you can come with me!"

Lin Hai put the honey in a bowl so that it would not flow out.

Put the prey and honey in the backpack.

Qiaoer didn't want to let Lin Hai get tired and insisted on carrying it on his own.

Lin Hai could only let her go.

The two came to the town, where there were several wealthy families.

Lin Hai planned to sell game meat and honey to these wealthy households. After all, only they could afford it.

Knocked on a big door.A man who looked like a servant poked his head out furtively.

He looked Lin Hai up and down and saw that he was a scholar.

His initially impatient look immediately changed for the better.

After all, the status of scholars is still very high.

"What's the matter with you?"

"This is Wang Yuanwai's home! I have some honey here that I just collected from the mountains. I wonder if Wang Yuanwai is willing to buy it?"

Lin Hai said with a smile.

The servant was a little surprised when he heard about honey.

"Honey is a rare thing, how many do you have?"

"It weighs five or six pounds with a hive."

"It's quite a lot. I'll go ask it for you right now!"

"Thank you very much, little brother. I will benefit from you once everything is done!"

When the servant heard about the benefits, he became more interested.

After a while, a man who looked like a butler came over.

He took a look at Lin Hai.

"I am the butler of the Wang family, what do you call me?"

"My surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Hai! I caught some game from the mountains, and there are also a few kilograms of honey. I wonder if you would like to take it?"

The housekeeper looked at it and nodded: "It's a good thing. What price do you plan to sell it for?"

"Just give it to me! You can give me money or food!"

Just as Lin Hai finished speaking, he heard a donkey bray.

At this time, I had an idea. It would be much more convenient if there was a donkey at home.

He quickly said: "Do you think I could trade these honeys for a donkey?"

The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we have a lot of donkeys at home. So the prices are about the same, so I'll do as you say.

How much do you plan to sell these two pheasants and rabbits? "

"We want to exchange some salt and some rice. The housekeeper sees that he is a decent person and will not treat us badly.

Just watch it! "

The butler was very happy when he heard the compliment. ,
"Then I'll give you half a catty of salt and five catties of rice. How about these things?"

"Okay, I'll do as you say!" Lin Hai was very happy after hearing this.

The price of salt is not cheap, so being able to exchange it for half a pound is already pretty good.

"Afu, bring him a donkey, a better one!" the steward ordered.

The servant agreed and left quickly.

"Just wait here for a moment. I'll have someone bring you salt and rice later."

The steward left with honey and hares and pheasants.

After waiting for a while, the servant brought a donkey.

Lin Hai took out a few coins and handed it over: "Thank you very much!"

The boy was very happy after making money and said, "Just come to me to sell things next time!"

After a while, someone brought the backpack over.

There is salt and rice in it.

Lin Hai took the donkey and Qiaoer went home happily.

Qiaoer was very excited on the road. When we were discussing business just now, it was not convenient for her to be a woman.

Now I can finally speak freely.

"My husband, you are really amazing. You just went out hunting for one day and you made a donkey. Our family doesn't have much salt, so we can save a lot of money."

"I said I would make you live a good life, and I will. I will hunt more when I go back, and in exchange for money, I will ask my father-in-law to buy us a donkey cart.

It will be much more convenient for you to return to your parents’ home in the future. Lin Hai said with a smile.

"Well, mom and dad will be very happy to see us living a good life." Qiaoer's face was full of happiness, feeling that her life suddenly had a bright future.
