Chapter 35: He got off way too cheaply!
“But Boss, they chased all the customers out of the restaurant, this loss…”
“Humph!”
Boss He scowled and grunted coldly, clearly not wanting Fatty to say anything more.
“Yes, yes, I’ll go now, I’ll go now!”
Fatty shrank back, his face full of sycophantic flattery, repeatedly bowing to Boss He while backing out of the restaurant.
As he left, he glared furiously at Liu Sisi and Di Yelei, secretly scheming how to regain his lost ground.
Liu Sisi didn’t take this petty man’s threat seriously at all – he was just a dog seeking the support of humans!
If a dog bites a person, the person cannot bite the dog back>
“Since the matter has been clarified, we’ll take our leave now.”
Di Yelei didn’t want to stay a moment longer, leading Liu Sisi to turn around and leave.
“Wait, brave sir!”
Boss He’s gaze fell on the elk, flipping through some material before saying, “This elk was killed by a single arrow through its throat! Other than that, it has no other injuries. Sir, you truly have impressive martial arts!”
Elks are not like other animals. Deer are naturally agile and quick, and they have a timid nature, so with any slight disturbance, they’ll run and disappear in a blink!
To shoot an arrow to seal the throat without damaging the hide, it is only possible to do so at a very close distance with a direct shot.
This requires not only extremely stringent archery skills but also an extremely high level of overall physical fitness.
Yet this seemingly ordinary hunter accomplished it, which naturally astonished Boss He.
Di Yelei didn’t explain further, raising his fist slightly in acknowledgment: “You flatter me, Boss. It was just a lucky catch by Ye Lei.”
Boss He’s eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn’t ask any more questions: “Alright then! We won’t take the deer antler from this elk. You can sell it at the herbal medicine shop for a good price. As for the elk itself, our Heji Restaurant will buy it at a price of 30 copper coins per pound, what do you think?”
Liu Sisi understood that, given how the situation had developed, the boss had already shown enough sincerity. After all, this was their territory, and the shopkeeper had humbled himself enough. If she kept pushing, it wouldn’t end well.
Di Yelei and Liu Sisi obviously thought the same. If they forcibly took the elk away, they might really create a rift!
“If the Boss insists, then we’ll sell this elk to Heji Restaurant.”
Upon weighing, the elk was a total of 238 pounds, at 30 copper coins per pound, totaling 7,140 copper coins.
“How about this! Let’s just call it 7 taels and 200 copper coins for the sake of round numbers.”
While speaking, Boss He generously took out the silver, handed it over to Di Yelei, and settled the deal.
Liu Sisi carefully looked at what Boss He had handed over – one large, two small silver ingots, and some scattered copper coins.
Leaving Heji Restaurant, the couple saw Boss He still standing in the doorway, waving at them from afar.
Only after he could no longer see the backs of Liu Sisi and the others did Boss He re-enter the restaurant.
