“He came this time to celebrate the birthday of the Shen Family’s old madam,” Gu Qingheng smiled, “Although the gifts will certainly be lavish, such fresh game is rare, and moreover, Ayao said the Black Bear is of good quality.” He paused, “If it were sold piece by piece, it would actually fetch more money, just the bear skin alone is worth more than this price…”

Yang Ruxin had already calmed down, nodding slightly: “But I can’t wait that long, if I can actually get that much silver, I’ll be content.” With another Black Bear in the space, she could be less hurried to deal with it, waiting instead for a future opportunity to find a master to process the parts, believing that by selling the bear’s gall, skin, and paws separately, the income could probably amount to more than a thousand taels.

“How much do you think you would have to pay someone to help you make a trip to town?

Ten taels of silver could support a six-person family in the village for a year…” Gu Qingheng’s words once again brought Yang Ruxin’s thoughts back, “When you give ten taels per person, what will others think?”

Yang Ruxin frowned.

“Furthermore, there aren’t many households in our town that can swallow up a Black Bear, only the Shen Family has the economic strength.

But without someone well-acquainted and influential guiding the way, how could you possibly get your goods into the Shen Family?” Gu Qingheng continued to analyze the situation for Yang Ruxin, “Those large families all have their own set of rules; what they eat and drink is managed by designated people, and not just anyone can supply them.”

By now, Yang Ruxin fully understood, realizing that those novel stories where the female lead transmigrates and straightaway knocks on the doors of large households with some special food to be accepted were complete nonsense.

The more prestigious the household, the more they feared death; the Emperor had several eunuchs taste his food before eating, and certainly, the heads of large families wouldn’t just casually put anything in their mouths.

Therefore, even if she had goods, it wouldn’t be easy to sell them.

“Ayao will also tell Little Liuzi and the others that they found someone to help sell it,” Gu Qingheng knew that she was a girl with a sharp mind and decided to teach her all the social skills at once so that she would understand how to handle such situations in the future, “And the person helping will need to be skilled in skinning, so the silver you will end up with is estimated to be…”

Yang Ruxin sighed softly, realizing she had been too naive.

Wealth tempts the human heart.

She had only heard about the hunting of the Black Bear, which had already sparked so much discussion.

If she distributed so much silver to those helping, the talk would be even more extensive.

She glanced at Gu Qingheng, feeling somewhat frustrated.

She, who had lived two lifetimes adding up to more than forty years, couldn’t believe she was less insightful than a small child; it was really…

It must have been her intelligence taking a brief hiatus, provoked by this guy.

“Actually, they probably also want to go hunting in the mountains but lack the skills and experience, and without someone leading, they don’t dare to venture in.

So, in the future, Ayao can take them with him,” Gu Qingheng knew that Yang Ruxin had come to an understanding and chuckled, “Giving a man a fish is not as good as teaching a man to fish, right?

Wouldn’t that be better?”

“You have thought it through more thoroughly,” Yang Ruxin nodded, “I really hadn’t considered that much.

I just thought they were nice people who took good care of my family, and this was a way to help them out…”
