Chapter 2005: Chapter 2005: Puppy for Bones (12)
The Ruanlin Family came over from behind and, with a smile, explained, "This is Rou Rou’s mate. This litter had many puppies, a total of thirteen."
The meat seller uncle looked at Xiaoxue lying on the side, then at the row of little pups, and nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, really good, so many."
He couldn’t bear to move his eyes away.
After recovering from its daze, Rou Rou came over with its tail drooping, feeling inexplicably upset. It tried to force its way into the meat seller uncle’s line of sight, thinking it had successfully attracted his attention, but the meat seller uncle sidestepped it and took a few more steps forward, looking at the dozen puppies with eyes full of excitement.
The meat seller uncle didn’t hide his eagerness. Looking at the litter of puppies, he turned around and went outside to push his cart over, blatantly lying, "Auntie, this is the leftover meat from today. You see, with this weather, meat doesn’t keep well, so I brought it over. Please, could you cook it up for the little guys, make some broth, give them some nourishment? Look how skinny they are..."
"..." Ruanlin Family.
She glanced at the little puppies still yelping excitedly, their bodies trembling, then at the meat seller uncle, genuinely admiring his skill at lying.
However, she also felt troubled.
Helplessly she said, "Xiaoliu, Auntie knows what you mean, but I have no authority to give these puppies away..."
"I know, I know." The meat seller uncle immediately jumped in before Ruanlin Family could finish, "Certainly Rou Rou is the one making decisions here, right? I understand everything you said."
The meat seller uncle truly understood Ruanlin Family’s implication. Having known Rou Rou for seven or eight years, he naturally knew how intelligent it was. Instantly, he picked up a beef bone and looked towards Rou Rou.
"!!!" Rou Rou.
Too late!
Rou Rou turned its gaze away somewhat arrogantly.
The meat seller uncle didn’t mind, his face blossoming into a cheerful smile as he called out to Rou Rou, "Rou Rou, this beef bone, I saved it specially for you. Look, it’s your favorite from before."
"..." Rou Rou.
Didn’t he just say the bones were for making broth for the puppies?
Rou Rou squinted over at him.
The meat seller uncle felt inexplicably guilty, pointing at the cart, "Look, such a big cart, it’s all for you."
He rubbed his hands, smiling ingratiatingly, "You see, raising puppies requires meat and bones, right? How about I help you raise one?"
"..." Rou Rou.
It slightly raised its chin, glancing stealthily at the cart.
The meat seller uncle had indeed gone all out this time. On the cart were half a pig, a dozen beef bones. Although he claimed they couldn’t be sold, everyone present knew it was just an excuse. After all, even if unsold, they could be frozen and wouldn’t spoil.
Rou Rou looked at the cart, then at the nuisance of extra little pups by its side, calculating furiously in its mind.
Could one puppy be worth all that meat and bone?
So if the entire litter was exchanged for meat and bones, then!!!
Rou Rou’s eyes immediately brightened.
This was a deal with guaranteed profits!
"Awoo!" Deal! Take it!
Rou Rou turned around, picked up a puppy, and dropped it at the meat seller uncle’s feet.
The plump, chubby little puppy that was tossed over was the same color as Rou Rou.
