Chapter 544: Chapter 545: As Long As We Live (+5 for Alliance Leader)

Chiang Xiao, although she had jumped away extremely quickly, still couldn’t completely avoid it due to the suddenness and her pants got splashed.

Her face darkened immediately.

And the round-faced man holding the basin at the door was also stunned.

"Not those little bunnies?" he said, dumbfounded.

"Who are you calling little bunnies! What is this water?" Chiang Xiao, remembering she had once thrown foot-washing water on Ho Laidi, immediately felt uneasy.

If she had been splashed with foot-washing water herself, she might have felt an irresistible sense of cosmic justice and frustration.

"It’s, it’s just water for washing vegetables, actually it’s not dirty, not dirty!" the man stammered out an explanation, but then thought about it and hardened his face, "Hey! You lassie are quite fierce! What are you doing knocking on our back door for no good reason?"

"Your back door can’t be knocked on? Can’t knock to find someone if there’s an issue?" Chiang Xiao also hardened her face, "Then you should stick a note on it! Just write ’Restricted area, no admittance for outsiders!’"

The man’s face immediately struggled to keep from laughing, "Girl, you’re quite funny. It’s just the back door of a restaurant, yet you’re calling it a ’restricted area’. Okay okay okay, it’s my fault, come on in. My daughter is about your age, I’ll get her to give you a change of clothes."

"There’s no need to change clothes. I just wanted to ask if your restaurant needs any game?"

"Game?" The man’s eyes lit up. Game was rare in the county. Their restaurant’s business seemed good, but what they actually sold were all common dishes, and for many years, there hadn’t been any new dishes. He had been pondering this issue every year, but it was only this year that times had started to improve, and ingredients were still lacking. Even if he wanted to create new dishes, he needed ingredients.

Not to mention himself, he believed many of his peers felt the same way.

"Girl, do you have some at home?"

"Yeah, my uncle’s family are hunters. They caught quite a bit recently, but we can’t sell all of it where we’re from, so I thought I’d come to the county to ask around."

"What do you have?"

"We have wild rabbits, pheasants, partridges and the like."

"How much of each?"

"About a dozen or twenty of each."

"How will you sell them? Where are your uncle and the rest?" the man looked behind her, but didn’t see anyone.

Chiang Xiao said calmly, "They didn’t come, just me."

The man’s eyes widened, "Girl, are you kidding me? Can you handle this alone?"

Chiang Xiao said, "Of course I can’t do it alone, but I just came first to ask. If you want them, I can have my uncle and the rest transport the goods."

"That’s fine! Bring them over for me to see. If they’re all alive, I’ll take them all!"

All alive?

Chiang Xiao frowned. Did they really all need to be alive?

Of course she had live game; she had caught so many before she came. But what about all those that were already butchered and de-feathered in her Space? Were they going to be unsellable?

Anyway, even if she could only sell the live ones, that was okay.

Chiang Xiao immediately said, "Then tomorrow around noon, we’ll transport the goods here!"

"Okay."

When Chiang Xiao left wearing her dripping wet pants, she wasn’t sure if this counted as bad luck or fortune. She had been drenched, but she had secured a deal for her business.

She had originally planned to find a small restaurant for a meal, but now soaked through, she simply bought some pastries to take back with her.

The rooms in the guesthouse were actually really well decorated and clean. If guesthouses of this era could be rated, this one would at least be four-star.

After showering, changing her clothes, and having something to eat, she locked herself in that storeroom and started to draw.
