Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Because they can’t sell the whole thing in time and Mutant Beast meat is extremely expensive, if it goes bad the butcher would lose his shirt, so they always turn more than half into cured meat instead. Although it affects the meat’s effects a bit, it’s still better than letting it spoil.

Ordinary meat costs about ten to twelve copper coins per jin, while Mutant Beast meat goes for fifty to eighty copper coins per jin, depending on the species.

The meat of this Blizzard Pig is one of the really tasty kinds, so the price is sixty copper coins per jin. The cured meat is the same price as the fresh, just with an extra two copper coins as processing fee.

Jian Shuangshuang immediately pulled out a Gold Coin in grand style and directly bought more than half of this Blizzard Pig, and of course she haggled the price.

Most of the Mutant Beasts that show up in Wujia Town are small in size. A large Mutant Beast like this Blizzard Pig is something you only run into if you’re lucky, because the bigger the Mutant Beast, the more abundant the energy inside.

Jian Shuangshuang’s thought was that since she’d run into it, she couldn’t let it slip by; who knew when she’d next see such good Mutated Beast Meat again, so she simply took more than half at once.

In the end the boss settled at fifty‑eight copper coins per jin and even agreed to turn the meat Jian Shuangshuang couldn’t finish into cured meat for free. Once it was ready, she could just come pick it up.

What Jian Shuangshuang was actually after was having the boss help her make cured meat. This boss’s cured‑meat skills were passed down from his ancestors and are famous in several nearby towns. The taste is absolutely top‑notch.

After that, Jian Shuangshuang happily carried fifty jin of fresh Blizzard Pig meat back to Hundred Families Village and happened to run into the village chief at the village entrance.

Seeing the village chief, Jian Shuangshuang hurried over to greet him and, while she was at it, unloaded twenty jin of Blizzard Pig meat: ”Hello, village chief uncle, what a coincidence to meet you here.

I just happened to have something to discuss with you. Here’s twenty jin of pork. Village chief uncle, keep five jin for yourself, and help me distribute the rest. You know exactly which households it should go to.”

Before the village chief could say anything, Jian Shuangshuang grabbed the remaining thirty jin of meat and ran off, because she was afraid the village chief would refuse.

The village chief’s family was the one that looked after her the most, apart from the Du Family, so every time Jian Shuangshuang had meat to share, she would always give a bit more to the village chief’s household.

The village chief had planned to refuse, but Jian Shuangshuang just dropped the meat and ran. Given how stubborn she’d been every other time, even if he took it back to her, she wouldn’t accept it.

What’s more, this meat wasn’t just for him alone. He could refuse on his own behalf, but he couldn’t refuse on behalf of the other households, so after hesitating in embarrassment for a moment, the village chief decided to accept it.

Just then, a man passed by with a hoe on his shoulder. When he saw the meat at the village chief’s feet, he knew what was going on without a word being said. His eyes lit up and he said, ”Village chief, is that girl Shuangshuang giving us meat again?”

The village chief nodded, feeling a bit happy, a bit helpless, and a bit worried. ”That girl Shuangshuang went to Wujia Town today, probably to tell stories and earn some money.

And here she is again, buying meat for us to share. She doesn’t know to save at all, still just a kid. As long as she’s full, she doesn’t worry about the future, spending money like water.”

The village chief really was troubled. The child was so free‑handed with money; if something happened one day and she had no emergency funds, what would they do? Their village was so poor that every household was broke. If something really happened, they wouldn’t be able to help even if they wanted to.

The man didn’t think as far as the village chief did. His family was also one of those who had helped Jian Shuangshuang, so for the past half year they often got a share of the meat, and life had gotten much better for his two kids and the elders at home.

The man smiled, feeling the village chief was overthinking it a bit. ”Village chief, don’t worry so much. That kid Shuangshuang has skills, she can earn money. She’s not like us mud‑legged farmers.

She won’t ever really be short of money. If something does happen, it’ll probably be something that needs people to lend a hand. When the time comes and we can help, we’ll just help gladly.”

As he spoke, the man felt a little emotional. People, no matter how hard times are, it’s never wrong to show a bit of kindness. Back when the village suffered a small disaster and the harvest dropped, every household was going hungry.

At that time, that parentless girl Jian Shuangshuang was living a miserable life. There were a dozen or so households in their village, and they all gritted their teeth and scraped together a bit of grain to feed her so she wouldn’t starve to death.

Back then there were a few families in the village who laughed at them, saying, for a little orphan, what’s the point of keeping her alive with charity? Was she going to pay them back or something?

But they were saving a life; where did payback come into it? They had never thought of getting repaid, yet in the end the return they got was huge. In this last half year, their families haven’t lacked for meat, and everyone’s health has gotten better.

Now, whenever those people who’d said they were stupidly soft‑hearted see them receiving meat, they get so jealous their eyes practically turn red. Just looking at it makes his heart feel refreshed. It proves that good people really do get good rewards.

While the man was sighing with emotion, he saw the village chief suddenly stare intently at the meat, as if he’d noticed something. After looking for a long time, the village chief suddenly cried out in surprise, ”This—this is Mutant Beast meat!”

The man was startled by the village chief’s shout. The village chief had eaten Mutant Beast meat before, not many times, but enough to recognize it, because Mutant Beast meat is different from ordinary beast meat.

The man was shocked too. Now he also felt that this kid Jian Shuangshuang was being a bit too extravagant. This Mutant Beast meat is incredibly expensive, and she actually gave away so much in one go.

The man stammered as he looked at the village chief. ”Village chief, how about... how about we send this meat back to Shuangshuang? I heard Shuangshuang is in the middle of Cultivation. This meat is definitely useful to her.”

He didn’t expect the village chief to smile when he heard that. Shaking his head, he said, ”Before, I thought the child was still young. How much could she really earn from telling stories, if she spends so freely?

Now it seems I was thinking too small. Our girl Shuangshuang really has skills. She can even buy so much Mutant Beast meat in such grand style. The speed she’s earning money at isn’t what an ordinary storyteller could manage.

No need to worry anymore. That girl really does have ability. I’ve seen those storytellers who make a lot. A single round of tips is probably enough to pay for all this meat.

Go call some people over and get the meat divided. Have you ever seen her take back anything she’s sent out?”

Back home already, Jian Shuangshuang had no idea that Hundred Families Village was in an uproar today because of the meat she’d given out. The families who got meat were so happy they couldn’t close their mouths, praising over and over what a righteous and kind child Jian Shuangshuang was.

After they were done praising, they carefully stored the meat away and would only dare eat a tiny bit at a time. It’s said Mutant Beast meat is extremely good for the body, so everyone ate it very sparingly.

Some people were satisfied and happy as if it were New Year, while others were gnashing their teeth in jealousy, regretting that they hadn’t pinched out a bit of grain to help Jian Shuangshuang back then; otherwise they’d be in on the benefits now too.

Jian Shuangshuang knew none of this. She was holding that Gold Coin and discussing with Feng Ying and Du Ying about using it to buy some blue bricks, tearing down the two families’ grass sheds and building two proper houses.

She had already made an arrangement with Zhen Shu to tell stories at her restaurant, so from now on she’d have a stable source of income and wouldn’t be short of money. She could completely afford to build the best houses. She was truly sick of living in those grass sheds; they were just too shabby.
