Chen Zigeng tried to recall what Sister had said.
"In the woods, there's a group of small toads... They're quite delightful."
Chen Zigeng reluctantly agreed, yes, not ugly at all; big eyes and plump cheeks are very charming.
Manager Ding took the dried toad from Chen Zigeng's hand. The drying of the toad was just perfect, and once cracked open, the yellow toad oil inside was visible.
Manager Ding pondered for a moment and said, "How many of these toads do you have?"
Xie Liangchen replied, "Not many are dried, but we can go catch more."
Seeing Manager Ding's expression, Chen Zigeng's eyes lit up, making those delightful little toads really turn into silver coins.
Xie Liangchen said, "If the shopkeeper wants more, you can come find me in the village, and you can also see the Huang Jing drying in the yard."
Manager Ding hesitated before nodding, "I'll think about it." He first wanted to try the Huang Jing stewed chicken to see how it tasted, and then he would visit the village.
