An Jiuyue left early the next day. She carried a large basket of mushrooms and went to the village.
The villagers had cleaned up the village pretty well.
There was a family that purchased an old bull and a cart from town. She came to borrow the cart today as she could not possibly drag such a big wild boar into town on her own.
Although she had a spatial ability, she had to carry the boar in town. She did not have a large built. She would be crushed if she had to carry the wild boar that weighed about 250 kilograms!
Hence, she had to borrow a cart.
She was able to borrow it easily since she was regarded as the village’s savior now.
She placed the wild boar in the cart and headed for the town.
When she arrived at the restaurant’s side door, she saw Brother Xiao Si keeping watch. Nobody sold their prey at the restaurant these days. Of course, they knew it was because of the flood. There was a lack of food—nobody would sell their animals.
“Oh, is that you, Jiuyue? You’re here again! What did you bring this time?”
Brother Xiao Si was delighted to see An Jiuyue. He craned his neck, saw the big, furry wild boar on the cart and gasped.
“Wait, Sister Jiuyue! Wait for a moment!”
He turned around hastily, shouting for the manager as he ran.
An Jiuyue was silent.
He seemed very happy. She knew that everyone had been tidying up their houses recently and no one was in the mood to go hunting in the mountains.
However, it would not be long before more people started doing so. They would start worrying about their livelihoods once they tidied their houses, and the first thing that the hunters would think of would be to hunt.
Regardless, the prey sold would be worth a lot of money. After all, meat and vegetables were not readily available after the flood.
Soon, Uncle Lin rushed over. His eyes lit up when he saw the big animal on the cart behind An Jiuyue.
“Hurry up! What are you waiting for? Load it off!”
There were many passers-by staring. It was rare to see such a big animal.
“Jiuyue, you’re so amazing! How did you hunt such a big guy?” he asked with a chuckle.
An Jiuyue smiled and replied, “It was a coincidence. It happened to step on my hunting trap. It’s not because I’m capable or anything. Uncle Lin, how much do you pay for wild boars nowadays?”
“We are paying more because there aren’t many people selling their prey these days. We offer 200 copper coins per gross half a kilogram and 215 copper coins per nett half a kilogram. Most people opt for the first payment rate,” Uncle Lin explained.
However, he did not mention that it was not a matter of gross or nett weight here—there was simply nobody selling wild boars!
Otherwise, no matter how expensive they were, the restaurant would not be paying 200 copper coins per half a kilogram! They still had to sell them to customers to make a profit.
“You can weigh it first, Uncle. Then we’ll calculate how much—”
Before she could finish speaking, a worker interrupted, “Manager, this wild boar is too big. We can’t weigh it here.”
Uncle Lin was silent.
It was true that the boar was too big. It seemed like it was about 250 kilograms. There was no way to weigh it unless they chopped it into pieces.
He looked at An Jiuyue and asked, “Jiuyue, why don’t we calculate payment by gross weight instead?”
