“The boss, is this really bear meat? Why does it not quite look like it?”
Very quickly, someone raised a doubt.
Qiu Huang replied, “Absolutely genuine. If it’s fake, I’ll compensate ten times.”
“How can you prove this is really bear meat?”
Qiu Huang pointed at the nearby bear skin, bear heart, and other parts and said, “These were all taken from the bear—bear skin, bear heart, bear head. Take a look and see if it’s real or not.”
Upon hearing this, everyone began inspecting it.
“This bear skin… it does look like real bear skin.”
“This bear head is also real. No mistake about it.”
“So that means they really killed a bear.”
“Killed a bear? That’s too terrifying. How did they even do it?”
“I don’t know.”
……
After checking, everything Qiu Huang provided was genuine—completely authentic bear parts.
“Wait, why are there no bear paws and bear gallbladder?” someone suddenly noticed.
Qiu Huang smiled and said, “Sorry, those two items are not for sale. We’re keeping them for ourselves.”
“What a pity.”
Everyone sighed. Bear paws and bear gallbladder were well known for their high value and great benefits to the body.
However, thinking about it, if it were them, they might also keep those items for themselves. After all, such valuable things were not something anyone would be willing to sell.
Qiu Huang gave a look to Yan Roujun and Yan Roujiao. The two immediately understood.
“This big brother, please buy some bear meat. It’s very delicious.”
“Uncle, please buy a piece of bear meat. Please support us.”
Their voices were sweet and pleasant, like orioles singing. Coupled with the fact that they were twins and looked almost identical, they instantly captivated many people.
“I’ll take a piece.”
“I’ve rarely seen twin girls like this. I have to support you. Give me a piece too.”
“I’ll take the bear heart.”
……
Everyone rushed forward. Before long, the bear meat, bear heart, and other items were completely sold out.
“Hahaha, we’re rich.”
Yan Roujun and Yan Roujiao counted the copper coins and broken silver in their hands, smiling brightly. In all their lives, they had never seen so much money.
Qiu Huang roughly estimated it. Converted into silver, it was around ten to twenty taels. Do not underestimate this amount—an ordinary family of four might only earn a few taels of silver in an entire year. In other words, this money was enough for a normal family of four to live on for three to four years.
“Sister, how much did we count just now?”
“I don’t know… weren’t you the one counting?”
“Oh right, I was counting. What was the number again? I can’t remember.”
“What? You forgot?”
“Um… sorry sister, I really forgot. Why don’t we count again?”
“Okay.”
……
The two of them counted several times, but each time they forgot halfway through and had to start over again.
“They’re really two silly girls.”
Qiu Huang couldn’t help but smile. However, he did not blame them. After all, they came from rural backgrounds and were illiterate. Being able to count up to a few dozen was already their limit; anything more became confusing.
Perhaps some might wonder why illiterate girls have such nice names. Qiu Huang could only say—this was the author’s doing. In many web novels he had read before, many female characters were illiterate, yet their names were extremely beautiful.
He had even complained about it strongly before.
“Forget it, we won’t count anymore. We’re too stupid.”
After failing to count several times, the two gave up. Their minds simply could not handle so many coins.
They looked at the items still left on the ground. Now, everything else had been sold, leaving only the bear head and bear skin.
“Master, it seems no one wants to buy the bear skin,” Yan Roujun said.
The bear head was understandable—it had no meat and little value, so it was normal that it could not be sold. But the bear skin was different. It was very valuable. Originally, they had planned to keep it to make clothing for warmth.
However, Qiu Huang said there was still time before winter, so there was no need to rush into making winter clothes. When winter came, he would find even better materials and make clothing warmer than bear skin, ensuring they would not suffer from cold or hunger.
“Don’t worry. Someone will buy it,” Qiu Huang said calmly.
Fur like this was never hard to sell. Someone would pay a high price for it.
Not long after, a chubby man wearing a felt hat appeared.
“Is this real bear skin?”
The man examined it closely, clearly interested. He was in the fur business and often bought animal skins to resell at a higher price.
“Genuine without replacement,” Qiu Huang replied.
The man carefully inspected the bear skin, not missing a single detail. After a long and thorough examination, he finally confirmed—it was real bear skin.
“Name your price.”
“Twenty taels of silver,” Qiu Huang said.
“What?”
The first ones to react were not the felt-hat man, but Yan Roujun and Yan Roujiao. They looked at Qiu Huang in shock, thinking he was asking too much. Twenty taels of silver was enough for their family to live several years.
The felt-hat man also shook his head. “Twenty taels is too expensive. Ten taels.”
“Twenty taels.”
“Ten taels.”
“Twenty taels.”
……
After some bargaining, the felt-hat man finally sighed.
“Let’s not waste time. How about this—we settle at fifteen taels. You give me this bear skin and the bear head together. I’ll take the bear head to feed my hunting dogs.”
“Deal,” Qiu Huang agreed immediately.
This was already his expected price.
The man took out one large silver ingot and five small ones, handing them over. One large ingot was worth ten taels, and each small one was one tael.
“Thank you.”
Qiu Huang took the silver and casually handed it to Yan Roujun and Yan Roujiao.
“My silver! My silver!”
The two girls hugged the silver tightly, treating it like treasure, afraid someone would snatch it away.
Qiu Huang did not mind. As long as they were happy. For him, earning more than ten taels of silver was effortless with his current ability.
