Fan Zehao handed him the things in his hand, "This is some roe deer meat, not much, Uncle and Auntie, please don't dislike it!"
Roe deer meat!
This basket was covered with a cloth, so he couldn't see how big the piece of meat inside was, but the weight in his hand was not light.
"Oh my, this is a good thing. How could your aunt and I dislike it? It's just that there's too much meat. Take some back!"
Saying that, he was about to go in and cut the meat in half, but Fan Zehao stopped him, "No need, Uncle. We have enough at home, it's enough to eat!"
After speaking, before the village chief could react, he got into the carriage and waved to the village chief, "I'll leave first, Uncle. When I come back, we'll have a drink tonight!"
The village chief grinned. He really liked to hear that. He waved back at Fan Zehao and shouted, "Uncle will wait for you!"
The only answer was the sound of horse hooves!
The village they lived in now was called Nanlan Village, located in Qingjiang Prefecture, Hexinzhou, Jinchang County, Mengshui Town.
It took two days to travel from their village to the prefecture by horse-drawn carriage, or a little more than a day if they were fast.
However, considering that they also had a calf with them, the journey was relatively longer.
While traveling during the day, the driver did not forget to take care of the people in the carriage. If they saw someone selling tea on the road, he would get some hot tea for his wife and buy two oil cakes. No matter how poor the conditions were, he would try his best to let his wife eat hot dishes and drink hot water.
As for himself, he never considered it.
Zhao Jiaqi held the warm tea in her hand, deeply moved. Seeing him gnawing on a cake and drinking cold water through the carriage curtain, her heart ached.
She lifted the carriage curtain and said, "Don't you still have some silver? Why don't you buy yourself a cup of hot tea? Drinking cold water in this cold winter, can your stomach handle it!"
When Fan Zehao saw his wife pouting and looking unhappy, instead of being angry, he chuckled foolishly and dived into the carriage. The two looked at each other.
"I have such a good physique, a little cold water won't hurt. When I was hunting before, if I was thirsty, I would eat the snow on the ground. I'm used to it!"
He said it very casually, but Zhao Jiaqi was greatly shocked. She really hadn't thought of it that way!
"Eat quickly. It's cold. The cakes and water will be cold soon!" Fan Zehao urged her to eat quickly!
After all, it was not like being at home, with a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and things could be placed for a while without getting too cold.
Zhao Jiaqi handed him the teacup in her hand, "Let's drink it together. If you don't drink, I won't drink it either!"
Her stubborn temper flared up, and Fan Zehao couldn't refuse her. However, he had achieved the first step of his wife caring about him.
He believed that one day, his wife would fall in love with him again!
With full of drive, he ate with her. Although it was a bit bitter, his heart was sweet!
Thus, after two days of travel, they finally arrived at Hexinzhou Prefecture. It was very prosperous here, with people coming and going on the streets, and carriages arriving one after another.
Fan Zehao asked someone for directions to a medical clinic and learned that the largest medical clinic in the prefecture was not far ahead, Deshengtang Medical Clinic.
After thanking the person, Fan Zehao led the carriage straight to the clinic. As soon as he entered, the waiter saw a poor person, whose clothes were still patched, and didn't even look at him.
"Are you here for treatment or to get medicine?" the waiter asked casually, fiddling with his fingers while looking down.
Fan Zehao disliked people who judged others by their appearance the most, but now he was just an ordinary citizen. He could only suppress his anger and say kindly, "I'm not here for treatment, nor to get medicine. I'm here to sell something."
The waiter glanced at him from under his lowered head, his eyes full of disdain. "Selling something? This is a medical clinic, not a general store. We don't accept ordinary things!"
"It's a live deer. Do you accept it?" Gradually, Fan Zehao lost his patience and his question carried a hint of anger.
When the waiter heard it was a live deer, his eyes lit up, and his mouth slowly split into a smile. "Yes, of course, we accept it!"
He pretended to be silent for a moment. "Young deer are five taels each, and adult deer are ten taels each. Payment will be settled on the spot!"
Fan Zehao sneered when he heard the price. "Ten taels of silver? Aren't you ripping me off? Just my two large deer antlers are worth ten taels, not to mention the other parts. Your price is too low!"
Seeing that the man was not playing along, the waiter's face gradually turned cold. "This is how our clinic buys them. No other clinic has my prices."
Fan Zehao finally understood. This meant that his prices were considered high?
He refused to believe it. "I'd rather kill it and eat it than sell it to you!"
With that, he walked out of the clinic, turning back to engrave the name of the clinic deeply in his mind. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Deshengtang!
After asking several other places, no one would buy it, or the price was almost the same, even lower than what Deshengtang offered!
Zhao Jiaqi, who was in the carriage, sensed something was wrong and stopped him, "Husband, don't go to the big medical clinics anymore. Let's find a smaller one to ask!"
Fan Zehao frowned. "Even the big clinics have these prices. The smaller ones might not get a good price!"
Zhao Jiaqi shook her head. "I see that all these clinics use the same word. I suspect that these clinics are controlled by someone behind them, which is why they are like this. However, smaller clinics might not be like this. Let's ask!"
At most, it would be a waste of breath!
What his wife said must be reasonable. Fan Zehao led the carriage into a small alley. There were indeed a few small medical clinics, and most of the patients were poor people.
Seeing this, Fan Zehao became a little hesitant. After all, his goods were going to be sold at a very high price. Such a clinic might not even earn that much in a month?
He went in and waited for a while. After the doctor finished with the last patient, he looked at him. "Are you here for treatment or to get medicine?"
Fan Zehao pointed outside the door. "I'm here to sell a deer. An adult live deer. Do you buy it?"
The doctor's eyes followed his finger and saw a female standing at the door, leading the horse. He was immediately shocked and couldn't sit still. He got up and walked out.
The old man was extremely fond of the deer. He touched it again and again, but did not say how much silver it was.
Seeing this, Fan Zehao thought he didn't have much silver to pay and took the initiative to say, "If you like it, I can sell it to you cheaper!"
The old man looked up, shook his head slightly, and waved at him, sighing, "It's not a matter of silver, but I can't accept it!"
Zhao Jiaqi and Fan Zehao exchanged glances. They kind of understood, but they still needed to confirm.
Zhao Jiaqi asked, "Is there a problem?"
