As they spoke, Suming and Zhao Yun both had a sudden realization.
In the whole of Maoxi County, only Sun Town raises specialty wild boars. Wild boars aren't too rare, and their meat is just a novelty, but it's different when they are raised in the wild. After the reputation had spread, people started to take notice. Frankly, that boss, through a 'certain powerful individual,' wanted to buy the pigs at a low price and then sell them off to make a profit.
No wonder Wu was in a difficult position.
Wu didn't specify who the powerful individual was, but as the town head, he was akin to a local lord, though the smallest of them. Since even he found the individual 'powerful', they must indeed wield considerable influence in Maoxi County.
One hundred and fifty wild pigs, tens of thousands of pounds of meat, the buying price was pressed down by at least half, and the profit margin was definitely not small.
"Do the townspeople know about this?" Suming asked.
