Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"Then I'll sell it to you at the market price." Yu Congcong replied readily.

"Baolai, bring this too." Chef Hong looked at the handsome man who walked out of the house and spoke.

"Okay." Baolai led two men in short jackets to the mule cart and carefully lifted the sheep down. Then he put the scale hook through the sheep's neck, and one of them held a wooden pole and passed it through the iron ring on the scale bar. Then the two of them lifted the pole together, and the sheep's body instantly spun into the air, while Baolai moved the weight back and forth.

"102 kilograms," Baolai reported loudly. Then he called out the frogs, "24 catties, 36 catties." After Baolai finished calling out the two frogs, he carried the things inside.

"I'll go in and get the money for you." Chef Hong said, and walked in. Yuan Xing and Yu Congcong were waiting outside. Yuan Xing asked them why they changed their expressions when they heard about the flood in Changlin County. Yu Congcong told them that Zhang Yun's sister was adopted by a couple in Changlin County. Yuan Xing was silent after hearing this. This natural disaster was really something he couldn't do. He was familiar with several merchants there, but now he couldn't go by water. He heard that there was a landslide on a section of the road leading to Changlin County, blocking the road.

"You can't be impatient about this, you can only wait." Yuan Xing then told them about the blocked water and land routes. Zhang Yun was very sad after hearing this, and kept praying in his heart that his sister was safe.

Yu Congcong and Tiezhu knew that this matter could not be resolved, and they were very frustrated. This was something they could not solve no matter what.

"Okay, do you have anything else to sell?" Yuan Xing asked, looking at the small cloth bag in the basket.

"There is also a poisonous snake." Tiezhu replied.

"This thing needs to be sold to a pharmacy. I don't have any acquaintances in this area, so you can only ask around on your own." Yuan Xing felt a little regretful that he couldn't help.

"Well, we won't be back until tomorrow, so we have plenty of time to look for it slowly." Yu Congcong said.

At this time, Chef Hong took a stack of banknotes and handed it to Yu Congcong: "It's okay."

Yu Congcong took it and counted it, "Yes, it's correct."

"That's right, I'll go in. The restaurant will be closed for dinner soon, and I have to be busy. Old Yuan, remember to look for me next time you have such good things." Chef Hong said cheerfully.

"Okay, go ahead!" Yuan Xing waved his hand. Chef Hong went in.

"Let's go too!" Yuan Xing said to Yu Congcong and the others.

"Okay," Yu Congcong replied happily.

"Where are you going next?" Yuan Xing asked.

Yu Congcong looked at her father, she didn't know where to go.

Yu Dazhuang received Yu Congcong's signal and said, "Go to the armed forces department."

"Then just continue walking along the main street until you reach the end, and you'll find the Armed Forces Department. Go ahead, I won't see you off." Yuan Xing said, pointing to the main street.

"Okay, thank you! We'll find it ourselves, you can go back and get busy!" Yu Congcong said, and both sides waved goodbye.

Seeing Yuan Xing walking away, Yu Congcong climbed onto the mule cart, found the water she brought and drank it. But she was thirsty. Seeing this, Tiezhu was also thirsty and found his bamboo tube from the mule cart. He drank a few sips and found Zhang Yun's and handed it to him. Zhang Yun was still thinking about how to find his sister, how to get back after finding her, and whether the couple would let her go.

"Zhang Yun, don't think about it. We'll go to the Armed Forces Department and find Captain Huang to think of a solution. Dad also said that this meeting may be related to the flood. Maybe the Armed Forces Department will arrange people to fight the flood. When the time comes, you can follow the troops. The troops will be safer." Yu Congcong comforted.

"Yeah, Congcong is right. Drink some water first. Your lips are dry. Don't get heatstroke from thirst before you find your sister." Tiezhu also started to change the subject.

"Zhang Yun, don't worry, uncle will pay attention to it." Yu Dazhuang also said.

"Well, thank you uncle, thank you Tiezhu and Yu Congcong." Zhang Yun took the water from Tiezhu and thanked him. Yu Congcong also got some water for her father.

"Okay, the cart is empty, you all get on and we'll count the money." Yu Congcong heard Tiezhu and Zhang Yun get on the mule cart.

The two of them got into the car quickly and sat down, but Yu Dazhuang continued to walk to drive the car.

"Congcong, calculate quickly." Tiezhu urged excitedly.

"Well, this is Zhang Yun's, Zhang Yun's 24-jin frog, the market price is 42 yuan per jin, a total of 1008 million yuan. Here, count it." Yu Congcong calculated the price of Zhang Yun's frog and handed it to him. Zhang Yun took it and counted it, and it was correct.

"Tiezhu, these are two jars of pickled eggplant for 100 million yuan, four jars of chili sauce for 180 million yuan, frogs for 1512 million yuan, and dried eggplant for 60 yuan, a total of 1852 million yuan. Here you go." Yu Congcong handed it to Tiezhu, but Tiezhu didn't take it: "Congcong, keep it. Give it to grandpa when you get home."

"Okay!" Yu Congcong separated it and put it separately in a secret bag.

"Yu Congcong carefully calculated the total amount of his family's wealth and found that it was 4888 million. Well, that's pretty good." Yu Congcong nodded slightly with satisfaction and whispered to his father about today's gains.

Yu Dazhuang was also very satisfied, thinking to himself: "The kid has really grown up. He was able to sell prey and soy sauce for so much money today, and he was not cheated. We can still have a long-term cooperation in soy sauce, and our future life will definitely get better and better. Tuition is not a problem. As for Tiezhu, I wonder if Uncle Fu has saved enough money. Next time I will take this kid hunting. With his kung fu, he should be able to protect himself, and hunting small prey should not be a problem."

Yu Dazhuang was secretly worried about Tiezhu, and Tiezhu was also thinking in his mind, "Hunting is a good idea. I can also make some chili sauce and sell it. The profit will definitely be higher than pickled vegetables. Grandpa is old, so it's just right for him to do some light work."

Zhang Yun was calculating whether the money was enough to bring his sister back. The four of them came to the armed forces department together, and Yu Dazhuang went in to look for Captain Huang.

The three children waited at the entrance of the armed forces department. Tiezhu, Yu Congcong and Zhang Yun sat on the mule cart, eating rice cakes and waiting quietly. At first, the three chatted happily while waiting patiently, but after an hour, they gradually became anxious.

"Box, what is Dad doing in there? Why hasn't he come out for so long?" Yu Congcong asked the system anxiously.

"Host, don't worry. Your father is not in danger at the moment. He is about to come out, but he may leave again in a while." The system's cold voice responded.

I saw Yu Dazhuang walking out with big strides.

"Dad!" Yu Congcong saw Yu Dazhuang and greeted him happily.

"Congcong, Dad is going to participate in the flood relief work. You can wait for Chief Yang to pick you up in Uncle Huang's office in the Armed Forces Department, okay?" Yu Dazhuang said to Yu Congcong.

"Dad, will it be dangerous?" Yu Congcong asked a little worriedly.

"It's a little dangerous. Dad will be extra careful and will never let what happened last time happen again." Yu Dazhuang promised.

"Uncle Dazhuang, can I go with you?" Zhang Yun looked at Yu Dazhuang curiously.
