Chapter 72: The Crown Prince of the Shen Family
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Because Jiang Chuan was the one that started the exchange of wild vegetables, every time his family went to town, the others would all greet him.
As usual, they pulled four carriages. This time, in addition to exchanging wild vegetables, they also wanted to exchange some prey that they had caught.
They were lucky that they were pretty close to town. If they stayed far away, exchanging items would be really difficult.
Jiang Chuan and the others had just arrived at the entrance of the town when they realized that it was different from before. The town seemed to be much livelier today.
Jiang Xia looked around and was surprised to find that most of the people walking on the street today were women. They were young, about sixteen or seventeen.
Xiao Wu controlled the carriages to the entrance of the Supply and Marketing Club and noticed a short man biting on a popsicle while looking at something else.
“Brother Li, why is it so lively today?” Xiao Wu asked curiously as soon as he got out of the carriage.
…..
Jiang Xia followed the short man’s line of sight and saw a pretty girl that had captivated the man walking toward him.
“Uncle Li? Are you looking at the beauty?” Jiang Xia called out to the little guy and continued, “Aunty isn’t home?”
“What?” The short man asked in a hurry as he thought his wife was around. He then realized Jiang Xia was only joking.
“What nonsense are you spouting!” The short man reprimanded her angrily.
“Uncle Li, is there anything new today?” Jiang Xia waved her hand indifferently, “Why are there so many people?”
“Today, the Crown Prince of the Shen family returned to town. The young ladies all went to see him.” The short man’s tone was full of admiration.
Crown Prince? What was he? The heir to the throne? Jiang Xia complained silently to herself.
“Uncle Li, is this the same Shen family that is very powerful in war?”
“Yes, it’s their family. They’re really loyal! I heard that this Crown Prince has joined the army as well.”
In Country Z, soldiers were always highly respected, not to mention the Shen family, which had been in the military for two consecutive generations.
Jiang Xia couldn’t help but have a good impression of the crown prince when she heard what the man said.
In Jiang Xia’s mind, men who chose to join the army were all heroes.
“So Uncle Li, all these girls are on their way to see the Crown Prince of the Shen family?” Jiang Xia asked.
The man nodded. After being disturbed by Jiang Xia, he was no longer in the mood to look at the beautiful girls. He followed Xiao Wu to the carriages filled with all the items Jiang Xia and the others had brought.
This time, they brought not only wild vegetables but also two pheasants and three rabbits caught by the villagers.
Seeing these things, the man couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed. He was still thinking about the roe deer that Jiang Xia had brought for the first time.
He had earned a lot from the roe deer at that time. Other than the fur, he had kept a lot of processed meat for himself.
Seeing the expression on the man’s face, Jiang Xia had to ask, “Uncle Li, what’s wrong?”
The short man glanced at the people who were moving the items, then looked at Jiang Xia. He walked to the side and asked, “Little girl, hasn’t your family hunted anything good recently?”
Jiang Xia shook her head, “Uncle Li, the situation is getting very bad and it is not easy for the villagers to get these things.”
The short man thought about Jiang Xia’s words and sighed.
Seeing the expression on the man’s face, Jiang Xia pulled him aside and said, “Uncle Li, when we came here today, my father said that he had something to talk to you about. I’ll call my father over. You guys can talk inside.”
The man did not know what to expect but he still nodded his head.
After getting the little guy’s confirmation, Jiang Xia ran to her father’s side and whispered, “Dad, tell Uncle Li about the collaboration.”.
This was something Jiang Xia had discussed with her father before coming here.
They could provide most of the rare items such as dears, wild vegetables, and strawberries to the man, but it was only possible if the man agreed to do it in private.
Jiang Xia realized that the man was very popular in town. She had observed whether there was a purchasing station similar to the one in the town, but unfortunately, she did not find a second one..
