Xiaomi was adamant, while the Shopkeeper frowned, feeling he’d been taken advantage of.
Seeing this, Xiaomi didn’t hesitate, placed the pheasant into her basket, hoisted it onto her back, picked up the bamboo basket, and set to leave.
"Shopkeeper, to be honest, today’s price is the cheapest. Next ti I co, even for one tael of silver, you won’t be able to buy these from ."
She added a ’tough line’ and turned to leave.
"Wait a mont." Suddenly soone called out to her.
Xiaomi was stunned; this voice sounded so familiar.
She turned her head and was even more surprised. It was a group of young girls, and the one at the front she recognized - wasn’t this Liu Ze’s second sister?
Although she knew it was Liu Ze’s second sister, she didn’t know the na. Aunt Liu had introduced her once, but she hadn’t rembered it.
But this was not important.
What mattered was that this Miss Liu probably wanted to buy sothing.
Instantly, a broad smile appeared on Xiaomi’s face: "This beautiful and charming young lady, do you need these? These are all great goods, very nourishing!"
"Five hundred copper coins, no risk of loss, won’t be a rip-off, absolutely worth the value!"
It was fortunate it was a child saying this; if it were an adult, they’d likely be considered a rogue.
Miss Liu had originally co out with two friends for tea. She’d heard the commotion upstairs and curiously ca down to take a look, getting shocked when she saw that giant snake erging.
However, seeing as it was quite a distance away, she quickly cald down. Hearing Xiaomi’s talk with the Shopkeeper and seeing that big and beautiful pheasant, she imdiately understood.
Miss Liu walked at the front, with her two friends, a bit scared, holding onto her arms on both sides, taking half a step back to hide.
"I’ve seen this kind of pheasant before, Lin’er, do you rember the one sent to your ho before? It was delicious."
Xiaomi blinked. Oh no, she forgot that the Liu family always bought poultry from the Jiang family. They even supplied pheasants and wild rabbits, along with pheasant eggs.
Just as she was pondering how to explain it away, Miss Liu, with a look of curiosity, said: "But your pheasant seems to be bigger and more beautiful than the ones we had before."
Xiaomi’s eyes curved. Well, those at ho only drank a lot of Spiritual Spring water.
This one was directly raised in the space; how could it be the sa?
The girl beside Miss Liu nodded along: "Yajing, the feathers on this pheasant are so pretty! Can we use them for making flower hairpins?"
Then, Xiaomi rembered, the second sister’s na was Liu Yajing!
Liu Yajing took out half a tael of broken silver from her waist pouch.
"Five hundred copper coins, huh? This should be enough. Can you deliver it to the County Magistrate’s residence in the north of the city?"
Xiaomi was taken aback; this ti, it was for real.
"County, County Magistrate’s residence?"
"Hahaha," giggled another young girl next to Liu Yajing: "Yes, Yajing is the County Magistrate’s daughter. Isn’t it normal to have it delivered to the Magistrate’s residence?"
Xiaomi was a little dazed, but she started to understand.
No wonder when Miss Liu ca out, the Shopkeeper fell silent, standing respectfully and cautiously to one side.
Earlier, she’d wondered just how polite this Shopkeeper was, moving aside for custors.
It turns out it was because this custor’s status was different?
Uncle Liu was actually the County Magistrate!
Then Liu Ze is the County Magistrate’s son?
A rich second generation!
Whoa!
Unbelievable!
Couldn’t see it at all!
The Liu and Jiang families had been in contact for so many years, yet nothing seed...
Xiaomi’s mind was racing, cursing silently, while outwardly she blinked her eyes, looking completely innocent and harmless.
"So, it’s the County Magistrate’s daughter, but pretty sister, I need to hurry ho, or I’ll be caught by monsters. Can soone else help deliver it for you?"
Based on the earlier brief interaction, Liu Yajing seed gentle, quite like her second sister. She probably wouldn’t make things difficult over this, right?
Yet since Miss Liu wasn’t bothered, it was the Shopkeeper who was anxious.
"If you’re told to deliver it, then you deliver it. Where in the world are there monsters?"
"Shopkeeper." Miss Liu glared at the Shopkeeper, who imdiately shut his mouth and obediently stepped to the side.
"Adults have told children stories, so why be so harsh on a kid?"
After saying that, she turned to a young attendant next to her: "This child must live far from ho. Can you help deliver the goods to the County Magistrate’s residence?"
She’d co out today with her friends for tea, bringing only one maid. The pheasant and wild rabbit were fine, but the snake; she was afraid they wouldn’t even dare to approach it.
