the next morning.

Cao Yue came back from exercising outside and happened to meet Lou Xiao'e.

"Morning, Xiao Cao."

Lou Xiao'e avoided his gaze, said hello casually, and ran back home in a panic.

This made Cao Yue laugh and cry.

He did nothing last night!

After breakfast, Cao Yue headed out of the city with his fishing rod.

When we got outside the city, we first checked the traps we had set yesterday afternoon.

The first trap was safe and sound, with no prey.

The second one was also empty.

Until we came near the third trap, we saw a hare trapped in it from afar.

Cao Yue ran over quickly and found that the hare had been frozen to death.

I squatted down and took the hare off the trap. After a moment's thought, I realized that the hare must weigh at least four kilograms!

Cao Yue put the hare into the space and then took off the condom.

After the hare is trapped, it struggles madly and the surrounding area is in a mess. When other wild animals see this, they will generally smartly avoid it.

Therefore, we have to choose a new place to set up the trap.

Cao Yue harvested a wild rabbit and excitedly went to the next place.

"Ha ha--!"

Twenty meters away, Cao Yue saw another hare caught in a trap.

This hare is smaller than the first one and weighs more than three pounds.

Cao Yue harvested two preys in a row and was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

Quickly collect the rabbit and the trap and rush to the next place.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned and the five consecutive traps failed to catch the prey.

It was not until the sixth trap that a male pheasant with colorful feathers was found.

It weighs more than four pounds, and I’m getting another pot of meat!

Half an hour later.

Cao Yue checked all the traps he set yesterday and harvested a total of six rabbits, two male pheasants and one female pheasant.

After selecting a new place to set up the recovered traps, Cao Yue went down the mountain to the river.

This time he chose a new place, chiseled a hole in the ice, took out an old cotton coat and spread it on the ice, then took out a chair from the space and placed it on top.

Cao Yue sat on the chair and put his feet on his cotton coat so he wouldn't feel the cold.

Because of the delay in the morning, I only caught 300 kilograms of fish.

After lunch, I had plenty of time in the afternoon and caught about 700 to 800 kilograms of fish.

Including the fish caught in the previous two days, there were already thousands of kilograms of fish in the space, piled up into a mountain of fish.

As he gets stronger, Cao Yue has planned to go fishing for another day tomorrow and then visit the Pigeon Market outside Dongzhimen.

One is to sell part of the fish caught; the other is to purchase some scarce supplies.

This week, Cao Yue stewed crucian carp in the morning, carp at noon, and silver carp in the evening.

I've really had enough, it's time to change the taste.

I used to be weak and worried that I wouldn’t be able to escape if I encountered plainclothes police.

Now Cao Yue thinks he can run faster than a rabbit and is not afraid of being chased.

……

In the evening, Cao Yue returned to the courtyard.

Cao Yue was a little disappointed that Xu Damao did not invite him to dinner tonight.

As his body grew stronger, his physical vitality increased, and it was inevitable that he would have thoughts in his mind.

Even though Lou Xiao'e hasn't divorced yet and I don't have a chance, it's still nice to have her for fun.

……

The next day, three o'clock in the morning.

Cao Yue got up early and left the courtyard quietly.

An hour later, we arrived outside Dongzhimen.

At this time, Cao Yue was wrapped tightly, with only his eyes exposed. Even people who were familiar with him would not be able to recognize him at first glance.

The pigeon market usually opens in the early morning and everyone goes away before daybreak.

In the past, farmers from the suburbs came here to sell local specialties from their private plots, but now there are more other transactions.

In fact, the leaders know that they cannot absolutely prohibit it, so they tighten and loosen the policy from time to time.

Cao Yue first took a casual look around to get a feel for the prices of the goods at each stall.

Then the shopping spree began.

Poultry such as chickens, ducks, geese, etc.

Chicken eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs;

Pork, peanut oil;

Peanuts, soybeans, sweet potatoes, chestnuts;

Carrots, black fungus, and dried mushrooms.

If Cao Yue likes something, he will buy it directly.

There were too many things, so he had to find an empty corner many times, put the things into the space, and then return.

Such a big move by Cao Yue naturally attracted the attention of those who were interested.

But Cao Yue was not afraid at all. If anyone dared to rob him, with his skills and the Browning pistol in the space, he would definitely make them unable to return.

After a while, Cao Yue returned to the Pigeon Market and planned to buy some fine grains.

After walking around for a while, I finally found a stall selling fine grains.

Cao Yue leaned over, turned on the flashlight and took a closer look, then changed his voice and asked in a low voice, "How much are the rice and flour?"

"All for fifty cents. No bargaining."

The stall owner was holding a lantern and had his head covered, so his age could not be seen, but from his voice he seemed to be a middle-aged man.

"Okay, deal. You weigh them all for me."

Cao Yue said happily.

"it is good."

The stall owner was very happy. He took out a scale, weighed the flour first, looked at Cao Yue and said, "It's exactly eight kilograms."

Then he put the flour bag down and weighed the rice. "Seven pounds and six ounces, the total is seven dollars and eighty cents."

Seeing that Cao Yue had nothing in his hands, he said, "If you don't have a bag, two bags are ten cents each."

"Okay, here's eight dollars, count it."

Cao Yue was too lazy to haggle, so he took out the money from his pocket, counted out eight yuan and handed it over.

The stall owner counted again under the light before handing the two bags to Cao Yue.

"Will you come tomorrow?"

Cao Yue asked before leaving.

As soon as these words came out.

The stall owner looked at Cao Yue with a wary look on his face and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"Don't get me wrong, I want to buy more rice and flour. If you have any left, bring it tomorrow. It would be even better if you have some oil," Cao Yue explained.

The stall owner said dissatisfiedly: "Boy, do you know the rules? You shouldn't ask such questions."

After saying that, he waved his hand and told Cao Yue to leave quickly.

Cao Yue could only leave helplessly.

Afterwards, Cao Yue continued to wander around and found a ticket scalper.

"Brother, what tickets do you have?"

Cao Yue asked in a hoarse voice.

The ticket seller shrank his neck and whispered, "Food tickets, cloth tickets, meat tickets, sugar tickets... As long as there are tickets on the market, I have them all."

Cao Yue thought about it and bought several tickets of various kinds, especially all the cakes and candy tickets in the hands of the ticket scalpers. Cao Yue bought them all.

"Fifty-five dollars will do."

When the ticket scalper saw that Cao Yue was a big customer, he gave him a discount.

Cao Yue paid the money and the ticket scalper handed the ticket to Cao Yue.

The two of them checked again, nodded to each other, and then Cao Yue left quickly.

The ticket scalper stared at Cao Yue's back, with struggle in his eyes. Finally, he sighed and muttered something.

Cao Yue spent a total of more than 390 yuan today, which is more than the average person's annual salary.

He originally planned to set up a stall to sell fish after buying things.

Now it’s almost dawn. I’ve shown off my wealth again today, so I decided to come back tomorrow after changing my appearance.
