Chapter 116 - 115 Dispute
"Okay, but this matter probably won’t be able to be settled in a short time. We still have to grind away at it, so we need to find a place nearby, whether it’s renting or buying. Let’s just move first and talk about the rest later."
Lu Aiguo had managed to bring out a wild rabbit to give away just now, which showed he already thought the idea was worth a try, so when he saw Shitou agreed, he no longer hesitated.
Since they had made up their minds, the three of them continued to walk the streets, selling goods and asking about houses.
Unfortunately, they visited more than twenty households that afternoon, sold quite a few goods, but made no progress on the housing front. There were a few kind-hearted households that promised to help ask around, and without exception, all of them made appointments to follow up in a few days.
Cooking oil was the best seller, with seventy to eighty pounds sold that afternoon. Almost every household would take a pound or two; the biggest buyers even kept a whole five-pound bucket.
Wild boar meat, rabbit meat, pheasants, and ducks, being rare and meaty, not easily purchasable on a regular basis, made everyone eager to buy. When it came to paying, they were just as generous.
Fish was the least sold among the meats, probably because it was cured and therefore not very popular, and in the end only about ten were sold. Chestnuts and yams drew even fewer buyers. Besides the five or six pounds of chestnuts sold at the start, a few more were sold intermittently, and then no one else expressed interest.
The yams had it worse; only one was actually sold, not even a full pound. The rest Lu Aiguo gave away for free when he saw people buying a lot of other goods.
