3 Selling Crops and Livestock (2/2)
” little Xiu, here's 10 Spirit Stone. Are you sure you don't want to sell it at the city? you can sold it for more in the city. ” (AY)
” no, it's okay. I want to sell it to aunt Ye. ” (MC)
the closest city from Jadesea village was Crystal city, it was two days travel to the north from Jadesea village. Yan Xiu thought about it before but decided to not sold it to the city, simply because he didn't want extra problem nor did he need extra money. Selling his crops to the village is simple and fulfilled his need already, so there was no need to went to extra length and sold it to the city.
Aunt Ye shook her head helplessly and stroke Yan Xiu's head lovingly, deep in her eyes was pity when she saw Yan Xiu. Aunt Ye thought she hide it well but Yan Xiu could see the pity in her eyes, Yan Xiu didn't say anything and let aunt Ye stroke his head. Riding the pig again, Yan Xiu and Lu Hao went to the next destination.
After a short walk they reached their destination, Lu Hao's house, Lu family butchery. Lu Hao was about to called out like he did at aunt Ye but a strong voice already hit him before he let out his.
” you idiot son, come here!! ”
When Lu Hao heard the voice, he paled and remembered something before cursing at himself and turned around to run away. Barely running a few steps, a strong muscular arm grabbed Lu Hao's and a fist fell to his head.
” ouch! ” (LH)
A middle aged man stood behind Lu Hao, his face showed his rage. The man was Lu Hao's dad, Lu Rianli. there was wrinkle on his face but it didn't decrease his handsomeness, in fact, it gave his handsome face additional flavor. His body was slender yet muscular, Lu Hao completely inherited his dad's good parts.
” dad, can't you not hit me so hard?! ” (LH)
” shut up! did you go and bother little Xiu again this morning? ” (LR)
Lu Hao instantly shut up and his eyes swam around, Lu Rianli knew the answer after seeing his son expression. He shook his head and sigh.
” why can't you be a little diligent? I hope you learn a little from little Xiu and helped me a little as the heir of this butchery. ” (LR)
Lu Hao already grew calluses in his ears from listening to his dad comparing him to little Xiu, Lu Hao didn't have any interest in being a butcher, his interest lied on cultivating and eating. That was why, no matter what his father said he would never stop scrounge for food from Yan Xiu. Well, maybe he will help out sometime. Just so to ease the nagging he would receive.
Turning his head to Yan Xiu, Lu Rianli saw Yan Xiu pulling a pig toward him and his eyes brightened. The Six Feet Pig was bigger than normal, the black pig's skin was shining when hit by sunlight. Lu Rianli ran his hand all over the pig, from his experience as a butcher, he knew this pig's meat has a good balance between meat and fat. Every part of the pig was filled with meat, even the three pairs of feet was fat. Lu Rianli laughed and stroke Yan Xiu's head.
” good! little Xiu, you really had talent as a farmer! ” (LR)
While his touch was kind of rough, it didn't felt bad. Yan Xiu liked it when Lu Rianli stroke his head, it reminded him of his papa. Lu Hao who saw this scene was speechless once again, he began to doubt was he really his dad's son?
Lu Rianli brought the pig into the store, when he pass the door he remembered something.
” little Xiu, I've taught you how to butcher small beasts but has yet to teach you how to butcher big beasts right? this is a good chance, come here and I'll teach you. ” (LR)
Yan Xiu was indeed learning how to butcher from Lu Rianli, and while he was already taught how to butcher little beasts, Yan Xiu still didn't know how to butcher big beasts. Hearing what Lu Rianli said, Yan Xiu eagerly followed Lu Rianli into the store. Seeing the two people disappeared into the store, Lu Hao could only followed them after putting the wagon on the side.
