Chapter 64: Chapter 61: Where is it considered to be spoiled?

The two originally thought that since their game sold so quickly the last time they attended the market, it would be sold out quickly today as well.
However, what they never expected was that they kept their stall at the market all morning, and while the dead rabbits from the neighboring stall were sold out, no one wanted their live rabbits. As the market gradually emptied, none of the game they brought have been sold.
It was truly peculiar!
Not far from where the two were, a figure in a tea house had a full view of everything, and couldn’t help but grin with satisfaction!
“We can’t just keep waiting here, we still have to buy things we’re missing at home. If we really can’t sell them, we can take them home and eat them ourselves.”
Liu Sisi said, standing up from the ground.
“Should we leave already? Should we wait a little longer?”
Di Yelei was hesitating. It was four pieces of game and taking them home to eat was an option, but what he hoped more was to exchange them for some silver. But it seemed impossible at the moment.
Picking up their game, the two slowly walked down the street.
Upon reaching the corner of the street, Liu Sisi felt that gaze again. This gaze had been persistently following her since the morning. She didn’t take it to heart since she was rather attractive. But this time seemed different! Despite it being just a fleeting glance back, she clearly saw the owner of the gaze and instantly tensed up.
It was the Head Chef, Sun Ergou!
Seeing the cheeky and unabashed gaze from him, Liu Sisi realized that the reason they couldn’t sell their game might have something to do with him.
“Sisi, you wait here. I’ll go inside and ask if this restaurant might need them.”
Di Yelei was referring to another well-known restaurant in town: Juxian Restaurant. He seemed to still hold onto a glimmer of hope.
Liu Sisi didn’t stop him. Even if that Fatty could control everything, people of the same occupation were natural enemies. And this restaurant was also in the same business. Even if Fatty tried to play tricks, most likely he wouldn’t be able to reach here.
As expected, Di Yelei went in for only a moment before coming out excitedly, the mountain marmot in his hands was gone.
“This restaurant has already bought some game, but the Boss is kind and took one in. At least the trip wasn’t in vain.”
As he said this, he handed over 700 copper coins to Liu Sisi.
“That’s indeed not bad. Let’s take the rest home and eat ourselves. Let’s go! First we need to buy some things that we are lacking at home, especially oil. We haven’t had any oil at home for a long time.”
Liu Sisi also looked pleased, took the coins and headed to the pork stall.
There are mainly two types of cooking oil here; one is rapeseed oil, the other is lard. Rapeseed oil is mostly used for cold dishes and fried food, while lard is used by villagers in their daily meals.
When Liu Sisi and Di Yelei arrived at the pork stall, there was very little pork left on the counter.
At the moment, Pork Rong was raising his voice, shouting: “Come and buy! Come and buy! Freshly slaughtered pork this morning! Border oil 20 coins, foot oil 18 coins, lean meat 10 coins, semi-fat meat 15 coins, pig offal half price — Come and buy! Come and buy!” Border oil is pig fat or called slab oil, while foot oil is the networked oil that is peeled off from the viscera.
As Pork Rong spoke, he picked up an iron rod and repeatedly rubbed his big blade, making “swoosh swoosh swoosh” noises.
