Chapter 58 Cui Lan's Part-time Job

  It was originally just a normal exchange of goods, but since these people were flattering him so much, Lin Bei felt a bit embarrassed, so he decided to treat them to a good meal.

  These people set out from Xishan Township early in the morning and arrived here at noon, possibly with dry rations prepared. However, since someone was treating them to a meal, they naturally wouldn't eat for free. So after Ban Fu Zi announced Lin Bei's intention, these people almost all cheered in unison because Lin Bei had offered to treat them to meat dishes.

  In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, people were very poor. Although Xishan Township was adjacent to Fushan, it was not easy to eat a meat meal. People who came here were not in good financial condition, and maybe they could get a piece of meat during the New Year's festival, which was already quite good. As soon as Bian Fuzi announced, Lin Beifeng saw that many people's mouths were watering, probably because they were hungry.

  Choi's Aran and the others seemed quite normal, as they had been treated to several meals by the adults already, each of which was meat-based, so they didn't find it strange at all. They quickly lit a fire and asked these people to go gather dry firewood again.

  Lin Beigou went out for a spin and came back two quarters of an hour later with a water deer as his catch.

  There are still many deer in the forest, originally there were more wild boars, but since both Confucius and Mencius said that pork is a coarse thing, then use venison instead. According to Lin Bei's knowledge, deer should have been a valuable game in ancient times.

  As expected, it was a water deer, and everyone's eyes lit up like a hundred big spotlights, even Pan Fu looked at it several times.

  This water deer weighs at least 200 pounds, and when Lin Bei killed it, he was careful not to damage the fur, only smashing its head. If they also remove the internal organs, there will be about 150 pounds of meat left, which is definitely enough for these people to eat their fill.

  It's definitely impossible for Lin Bei to slaughter, so the hunters took over voluntarily, and Lin Bei just needs to watch.

  Bo Fu stood at the edge of Lin Bei's forest and sighed: "Sir, you are too kind to these people."

  "It's just a meal." Lin Bei said: "Master, let them put salt on it too, and roast it, just like last time."

  Bo Fu could only nod his head. Now he felt more and more that this lord was really generous, things they thought were precious the lord could give away with a wave of his hand.

  Choi Ah-ran used a ceramic bowl to scoop up several bowls of deer blood, then carried a full large bowl over and handed it to Lin Bei: "Sir."

  "Ah, what's gotten into you?" Lin Bei asked in surprise.

  "Deer blood is a great tonic, only the most honored guests can drink it." Bian Fuzi explained: "This is the heartfelt intention of the hunters, sir, don't you eat blood food?"

  Lin Bei shook his head, "If you want to drink it, then drink it yourself. I'm allergic to blood food and only eat cooked food."

  "Husband, look?" Cui Shi Alan was somewhat embarrassed.

  "Since adults don't drink it, then you kids can have it? It's actually a bargain for you."

  Lin Bei really didn't drink, Cui Shi Alang happily poured another round back, and after saying a few words to those hunters, they started drinking, their faces filled with satisfaction, just like eating a full Manchu banquet, Lin Bei felt a chill.

  "The adults are indeed different from the Youmo I know." said Wen Fuzi lightly.

  "Rumors will stop when they're stopped, the monsters you know are all passed down through human word of mouth, but no one has actually seen them. They've been distorted into something terrifying after being passed around, and now I'm living proof. So, in the future if you want to write a book, Master Fu, you must tell these stories truthfully, lest people misunderstand. You have to believe that many monsters are good, seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving." Lin Bei brainwashed Fu Zi.

  "Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving." Bian Fuzi murmured to himself, his face full of admiration: "The master's words are truly brilliant, I'm afraid even if Zhang Yi and Su Qin were to come back to life, they wouldn't be able to surpass this."

  Lin Beida was embarrassed, obviously praising someone, but somehow it sounded like scolding.

  The bonfire had already lit up several piles, the big fire was burning fiercely, and the venison had also been divided into several pieces. The hunters had eaten once, so they taught these people how to roast meat hand in hand. Everyone's face was roasted bright red, but they were all cheerful. Lin Bei felt very satisfied, now this place had become exceptionally lively, it was great.

  Chui Shi Alan walked over and called out "Sir", with a somewhat awkward expression.

  "What's going on?" Lin Bei asked.

  "Sir, the hunters asked me to ask you, sir, can we also catch locusts?"

  Lin Bei smiled: "You're wondering the same thing in your heart, aren't you?"

  "It's indeed impossible to deceive adults." Cui Shi Alan was slightly startled.

  "It's fine naturally, but Cui Lan, I have a favor to ask of you."

  "Please go ahead, sir."

  "Will you help me find a job?"

  "What is 'dagong'?" Cui Shi Alan naturally didn't understand this term.

  "It's like this, I'm far from Xishan Township here. If those people catch the locusts and want to come trade immediately, it would be quite inconvenient for them. So, you act as my agent, put the locusts they caught in your place first, then when there are a lot, transport them over. This is called helping me with work. I'll pay you... per trip, no, not monthly salary, that's too long, each time you come, we settle once, it's called commission. What do you think?"

  Choi Ah-ran's mouth was wide open, and Bunpoong explained the meaning of Lin Bei while asking questions, and finally understood it. However: "Sir, I'm illiterate, and I don't know how to count."

  "Uh..." Lin Bei looked at Bian Fuzi.

  "What's it to you, sir? Do you want me to give you a massage?"

  "Are you asking if I haven't taught?"

  Bai Ji Da Han: "Cui is a woman."

  "What's wrong with being a woman? You're supposed to be educated and enlightened, don't you understand?"

  "An adult, a woman just needs to be at home taking care of her husband and children, reading and recognizing characters is probably..." Bai Ji looked somewhat embarrassed.

  Lin Bei ignored him and asked Cui Lan: "Do you want to read books?"

  Choi Ah-ran didn't even think about it: "Sir, I think."
