"We'll see who's really better during the Daoist Examination!"
Liu Quan retorted.
Without getting further entangled with the man in black, he led Liu Lishi and the others away from Wine Street.
Chu Lingguang returned, laden with goods.
The shopkeepers had given him so many things that Chu Lingguang had to borrow a flatcart from Butcher Hu to haul everything back to Liu Family Gully.
Looking at the pig's head Butcher Hu had given him, Chu Lingguang worried it would spoil in the heat by morning. He grabbed it by the ears and carried it over to the basin to wash it.
"CLANK!"
But when he pried open the pig's mouth to pour water inside, three taels of broken silver fell out.
'Hu really knows how to handle people.'
Chu Lingguang mused.
Butcher Hu had stuffed the silver into the pig's mouth. It was a way to express his gratitude without making the other shopkeepers feel awkward.
