I'm the master of my life

Chapter 219 Hunter in a World of Female Domination 14

Xu Xin's face turned red again. It was the first time in this world that Lan Xi saw a woman who liked to blush so much.

Lanxi was not familiar with this place, so she handed another ten taels of silver to Xie Shan and left it to her to make all the decisions. After all, she had been around everywhere and was very familiar with these things.

Xie Shan led a group of people directly to a restaurant. As they walked, she said to Lan Xi, "Cousin, don't be fooled by the fact that this restaurant is not big, but the craftsmanship of the chefs here is top-notch." She then gave a thumbs up.

Xu Xin also nodded and said, "Indeed, Chef Liu's cooking skills are very good. All my pocket money is spent here."

I have to say, as expected of Xie Shan's friend, they all have the same taste for food. Lan Xi thought the food was really good after tasting it. After the chief clerk finished eating and left, she also found an excuse to leave.

The person who was happiest about coming to the county town this time was Zhang Yaren. He didn't expect that he would make friends with the chief clerk and several yamen runners during his visit to the county town. This way, he would have face when he comes next time. If he could maintain a good relationship, his future work would be better.

After solving a big problem, Lanxi handed the farm over to Xie Shan to help manage. She started going to the mountains again, but she didn't know if her luck had run out, as she only shot two rabbits and a few pheasants in the morning.

Lanxi took out a deer and a wild bull from the space and dragged them down the mountain. This time, she took the road where no one was. She returned home and drove the ox cart directly to the county town. She was afraid that the big yellow bull could not pull it, so she put a light body talisman on the wild bull. When she arrived at the county town, she did not go anywhere else, but went directly to Liu's house.

Lanxi parked the ox cart at the back door of Liu's house and put the light body talisman into the space. Just then he knocked on the door, and a middle-aged man opened the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Lan Xi handed over a handful of copper coins and said, "Uncle, I'm the hunter who delivered prey last time. I'm looking for Butler Liu."

"Oh! You are the girl who beat the tiger! Wait a moment, I will go and call Butler Liu for you." After saying that, she left.

Not long after, Butler Liu came over and greeted Lan Xi happily when he saw her: "Oh! It's Miss Lan! What good stuff did you get this time? Judging from the wheel tracks, it must be quite heavy!"

Lan Xi opened it and said, "Have a look, Steward Liu. Do you like these things?"

When Butler Liu saw the huge bison and the deer on it, he immediately smiled happily and kept saying, "I like it, I like it very much." Then he turned around and told the people behind him, "Remove the threshold for me so that the ox cart can enter."

After the threshold was removed, Lanxi and Butler Liu sat on the edge of the cart and drove the ox cart inside.

As they were passing by a hanging flower gate, the people inside had already seen Butler Liu and hurriedly called out, "Butler Liu, wait a moment."

Lanxi pulled the reins with a tactful look, and Butler Niu got out of the car, bowed and said, "Hello Miss Jiang, Miss Xiao, Miss Eldest, Miss Second." Lanxi also bowed but did not speak. From the order in which Butler Liu addressed him, it could be seen that the identity of this distinguished guest was not simple.

"I heard that the hunter who killed the tiger last time is here. Is he this one?" asked Miss Liu.

"Yes, it is this Miss Lan."

"Hello, ladies." Lan Xi clasped his fists and bowed.

"It was you who killed the tiger? I can't tell! What kind of prey did you kill this time?" Miss Xiao said in surprise.

Lanxi glanced at Miss Xiao, said nothing, and walked directly to the side of the oxcart and lifted the oilcloth. She didn't like the way Miss Xiao looked at her, as if she was a commodity waiting to be sold.

"Bison? I didn't expect there are bison here." The speaker was Miss Jiang. She was not very interested in the deer that everyone else liked.

It was easy for her to get a deer because of her status. But the wild buffalo was rare, and its size was not comparable to that of domesticated cattle.

After Miss Jiang saw the bison, she turned around and asked, "Are there many bison?"

Lanxi shook her head: "Not much, but not few either." Although there is a group of bison, if they kill all the fish, there will be none left in the future.

Miss Jiang nodded, took off a jade pendant from her waist, threw it over and said, "You are very good."

After Miss Jiang gave the jade pendant, Miss Xiao also threw over a ring.

Lan Xi didn't hesitate and took it directly. Although she didn't like Miss Xiao, she wouldn't directly lose face for her.

Miss Liu gave a bracelet with 18 beads, and Miss Liu II gave a jade pendant, but the quality was not as good as Miss Jiang's.

Butler Niu said with envy: "You are so lucky today. You happened to meet a distinguished guest and got a reward."

"This is also thanks to Butler Liu."

Who doesn't like to hear nice words? At this time, Butler Liu said with a smile: "There is no demand for beef in the market now. You can't even buy one catty for one penny. I'll charge you two pennies per catty. As for deer, they are more valuable, so how about 500 taels of silver?"

"Of course, thank you, Steward Liu." Lanxi knew that the reason why beef was sold at such a high price was because in the Southern Dynasty, oxen were an important labor force, and killing oxen was illegal, and serious cases would result in death.

Anyone who buys a cow must register with the government. If a cow has an accident, such as falling to death or dying of illness, they must report the case to the government office, and the cow can only be slaughtered after the government has inspected it.

However, there are countermeasures to every policy. The law only stipulates that it is illegal to kill oxen, but it does not say that it is also illegal to kill wild buffaloes. Therefore, the nobles often sent people to the mountains to look for wild buffaloes, but hunting wild buffaloes is very dangerous, so the price of beef is even higher.

When the ox cart arrived at a building, Liu Guanjia pointed at it and said, "Okay, we're at the kitchen. Your ox is really tired today."

Lan Xi nodded without saying anything. If he hadn't put on the Light Body Talisman, the big yellow ox would have collapsed from exhaustion. Lan Xi thought about whether he should feed the big yellow ox a pill of his own modified version after returning. Although it was not as powerful as the one given by the system, it was not much different.

Lanxi parked the oil truck in the open space in front of the kitchen, and Butler Niu shouted into the kitchen, "Old Zhang, come out quickly. We have a large shipment today."

A voice came from the kitchen: "Butler, what big thing is worthy of your excitement? Is there another tiger?"

"What good things are you thinking? Is it so easy to hunt tigers?"

A fat woman came out of the kitchen and saw the bison and wild deer on the oxcart at a glance. She was really surprised: "Wow! They are bison and wild deer. The buffalo head is delicious when it is braised; the beef brisket is delicious when it is stewed; there are also stewed steaks, grilled steaks, fried steaks, and stir-fried beef..."
