Kaching sixty taels

The lady chef paid Yu Dong twelve taels , gripping the twelve taels in hands Yu Dong finally felt a feeling of financial security , even though she had enough things stocked in her inner world to feed her three husbands including young Mai , having money was vastly different - now , with these taels Yu Dong felt her heart settle a little more at ease , if she wasn't wrong twelve taels were enough for a family to live peacefully as long as nothing goes wrong ,and once she added the taels that she earned from selling the deer antlers it will be fifteen taels - maybe she might be able to sell the deer and tiger pelt for even more money who knows ?

Yu Dong placed the taels in her inner world , she was afraid of meeting robbers - so she took precautions before something like this happened .

She was hoisting her basket and turning to leave with Yu Mai when the lady chef thought of something and stopped her " Hey ! If you hunted a tiger and deer you might also want to sell their pelt , don't you ?"

Yu Dong didn't know what the lady chef meant bu this but she still nodded her head .

" can I see them ? Don't misunderstand me - my boss - she is serving a lady from a good household , you see . And that lady has always been fascinated with things like fur and animal skin , if you don't mind it , I can ask someone to call my boss together with the lady , you might be able to sell your animal pelts for a bargain you might have not even imagined !" Even though the lady chef said it like she was doing a great favour to Yu Dong , her intentions were clear , she wanted to curry favour with her boss as well as with the lady who had a high status . The lady chef had an eye for things she could see that Yu Dong had a special trick to preserve the meat , even though the girl in front of her hunted the tiger this morning , it was already noon ! How can the meat preserve its juiciness and freshness till now ? But somehow it did - the lady chef had an inkling that maybe the pelts hunted by Yu Dong's might also be different from other tiger pelts hunted by other hunters .

Yu Dong hesitated but nodded after a through contemplation , she had arrived in this world for only three days or so , she didn't have much idea about this town or where to sell animal pelts either , she had to walk around for at least an hour before she found this restaurant to sell the game she hunted - who knows how long she will have to roam around before she could find a shop to see animal skin . If she was the only one roaming around it was fine but she has Yu Mai with her , the seven year old boy was already licking his lips because he was thirsty . Yu Dong brought the porridge with her but she didn't bring anything to drink - she couldn't help but inwardly kick herself for being so stupid , it was so hot and humid outside , water was a must !

She was fine because she had her spiritual energy but what about Young Mai ?

" Alright , Wait here " once the lady chef saw that Yu Dong was willing to show her some face , she immediately sent someone to inform her boss then she took Yu Dong and Yu Mai to the servants resting room and served them some warm water and mung bean cake " I would have given you some tea but I'm not allowed to use the ingredients in the restaurant as I want , the tea here is reserved for the important people "

The lady chef didn't mean any harm but Yu Dong still felt that her dignity was being questioned , really just a cup of tea and so much measures were taken regarding it ? If not for the lady chef's sincere expression , Yu Dong might have fought for her dignity ! What's so special about tea leaves ?? This aunty had drank so much tea in her past life that you can't even think about it !

" its alright " though Yu Dong felt a little stifled , she knew that currently she was in tattered clothing and was having a hard time meeting her family's needs - no matter how rich she was in the past , now that she had transmigrated here , she was the poor Yu Dong of this world .

Yu Mai was stuffing his mouth with mung bean cakes without even a slightest care , what was being said or that his sister just received a big blow because she couldn't afford to buy tea for him , instead he happily ate the cakes and drank warm water to quench his thirst , then beamed at the lady chef " Nice aunty , these cakes are really tasty !"

The lady chef had long seen Yu Mai and she knew that something was different about him but she said nothing and happily nodded , after all who doesn't like their skills being praised ?

" is that so ? Then you eat more "she said placing some more cakes in Yu Mai 's plate ,making Yu Dong feel a bit guilty .

" You don't have to - I can't take this much for free " Yu Dong naturally wouldn't stop Yu Mai from eating cakes so she could only take out a hundred cents and pay the lady chef who shook her head and refused to take the money .

" Its alright , these are leftovers anyway - they are not much popular and only a few customers order them , if someone like eating these cakes of mine , then I will of course be happy about it "

When Yu Dong opened her mouth to say that this wasn't a right thing to do , the gate of the servants resting area opened and a maid rushed in and whispered something in the lady chef's ear .

" let's go my boss will be seeing you now "said The lady chef then started walking out of the room , Yu Dong could only stood up abruptly and stuff as many cakes as she could in Yu Mai 's hand before taking him along with her , she knew the little boy had insecurities and couldn't be left alone .

Yu Mai didn't want to leave his sweet cakes but he saw that his sister was walking away so he didn't resist and followed her , without throwing a tantrum .

When Yu Dong reached the VIP guest lounge - she saw that two women were sitting alone in the entire lounge , one was dressed in a pals blue floating dress with a shrewd look in her eyes while the other despite the humid weather had a fur collared robe donned on her figure , Yu Dong realised that this must be the lady who was interested in buying the animal skins.

" You are here " said the lady with fur collar in a booming voice , her voice was loud and bold , her features were hardened and her face had a dangerous scar running down the right eye all the way to her eyebrow " He Shen here told me that she got a huntress who hunted a good quality fur to sell , show me if I liked it , I will reward you handsomely "

Yu Dong felt a little awkward but when the lady chef pushed her from behind , she clumsily made a salute to both of the ladies fully understanding that both of them were important figures . Then she took out the animal pelt from her basket and handed it to the lady bodyguard who was standing behind the lady with fur collar .

He Shen , the boss of the restaurant saw that though Yu Dong was acting clumsy , she knew how to act in front of nobility - her impression of Yu Dong improved slightly and her expression softened.

On the other hand the lady bodyguard who was clutching the pelt was awestruck because the fur was as soft as cloud , even softer than this high quality fox fur cloak , her master was wearing .

The lady with the fox fur cloak was waiting for her lady bodyguard to be done checking with the pelt but when she didn't receive it after two whole minutes , she couldn't help but turn her head over her shoulder and look at her bodyguard " what's the matter ? Is something wrong with the animal skin ?"

The bodyguard was startled when her lady asked this question all of a sudden , she blushed and placed the animal skin in front of her lady " no , its just too soft "

The lady in fur snorted, she had no expectations regarding this so called fur coming from a peasant huntress , after all how many fur and animal skin , she had seen in her career as a Marquess ? But the second her finger tips lightly skimmed over the fur - The fur was so soft - so fluffy that the Marquess couldn't even blink her eye and without even looking at Yu Dong she spoke again in her loud booming " sixty taels and you are selling this to me !"
