From the middle of the mountain to the foot of the mountain, the road was all downhill and it was not easy to walk on. Yan Jiecheng carried the rabbit and took one step forward and one step back, and almost fell down.

Despite this, he never said he would give up. After all, it was only two cents, enough to buy a few large white flour buns.

Yan Jiecheng talked a lot along the way. Sometimes he asked how the rabbit was caught, sometimes he asked whether they encountered any blind bears on the top of the mountain, and whether there were any wild boars.

Lin Donglai thought that since he had nothing to do, it would be nice to have someone to talk to. After answering all his questions one by one, he closed his mouth as if thinking about something.

Although the weather was not hot at the moment, Yan Jiecheng was carrying a wild rabbit weighing dozens of kilograms. He was sweating and panting before he had walked half the distance.

The city gate was not far away, and Lin Donglai suggested that they take a rest at the city gate and then continue their journey after they have rested well.

Unexpectedly, when Yan Jiecheng heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle, and kept saying that he was not tired and could hold on.

In fact, how could he not be tired? He was just worried that if he stopped at the city gate, the hare might be bought by the people gathered there and he would not be able to send it to the steel mill, and his two cents would be wasted.

When they arrived at the city gate, some people saw that the sack Yan Jiecheng was carrying was bulging and something was moving inside, so they all gathered around him as expected.

Someone just asked, "Young man, what's in the bag? Do you want to sell it?"

Before Lin Donglai could speak, Yan Jiecheng hurriedly drove him away: "Go, go, don't block my way. This thing is not for sale, it's for giving away."

Lin Donglai finally understood that they were worthy of being members of the Yan family. They had been thinking of this because they were afraid that they would not make any money. No wonder they were unwilling to rest by the city gate.

Since Yan Jiecheng doesn't mind being tired, then it doesn't matter to me. After all, I had a full meal at noon, so I can just use this time to digest the food.

Not long after entering the city, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the steel rolling mill, one after the other. Yan Jiecheng put the sack on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief: he would be exhausted to death if he didn't get to the ground any more.

The guard at the steel mill saw someone throwing a sack at the factory gate. The man was sweating all over his face and breathing heavily. He thought the man was sick, so he pushed open the door and was about to go up to him to ask if he needed help.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw someone behind this man. Upon closer inspection, he found that they looked familiar. One of them seemed to remember something and asked Lin Donglai, "Young man, did you deliver wild boars to our factory last time? Is your last name Lin?"

Lin Donglai did not deny: "It's me, my name is Lin Donglai, can you please ask if Section Chief Su is here?"

The man quickly said, "Yes, yes, Chief Su has told me that when you come to the factory next time, you can go in and find him directly."

In this case, he had no choice but to go in by himself. However, to be on the safe side, Lin Donglai still said to the man, "Please give Chief Su a call and tell him that I delivered the food to the canteen kitchen and asked him to come over."

Then he pointed at Yan Jiecheng and said, "He's with me. He'll help me carry the things in later."

The two men didn't say anything, just smiled, nodded, and made a gesture of invitation.

Yan Jieben thought that he only needed to carry the rabbit to the factory gate, but he didn't expect that he would have to deliver it to the factory. He was immediately unhappy: "Dongla, I won't go in. It's only a few steps away, you can carry it yourself."

Lin Donglai smiled and said, "Okay, I'll carry it myself, but I can only give you ten cents because you didn't even carry it to the ground."

Yan Jiecheng's face was almost black, thinking that this kid from the Lin family was too evil-hearted. He was a member of the Yan family, how could he do such a losing business.

Immediately, he put on a reluctant smile and said, "Don't worry, I'll carry it. Can't I help you carry it in?"

"That's good." Lin Donglai smiled with satisfaction when he heard that, and walked in front of him. Yan Jiecheng followed behind him carrying a sack, with an unwilling look on his face.

This was not the first time that Lin Donglai came to the steel mill. He led Yan Jiecheng with ease and soon arrived at the backyard of the steel mill canteen.

After Yan Jiecheng put down the sack, he immediately held out his hand and said, "I'm so tired. Here, you promised to give me the two cents now, can you?"

Lin Donglai didn't hesitate at all. He took out two cents and stuffed it into his hand, then told him to go home by himself.

At this moment, Section Chief Su came out of the kitchen with the canteen staff and scales, and greeted Lin Donglai warmly: "Xiao Lin, I miss you so much after not seeing you for a few days. What did you bring us today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a sack on the ground. There was a living thing moving inside. He was a little surprised: "What is this thing? It's alive! Can I open it and take a look?"

Lin Donglai replied, "I was lucky today. I caught a lot of wild rabbits. They are all in a sack. I'll open it and show it to you."

As he spoke he untied the sack and poured out all the hares inside. The hares were tied up so there was no worry at all that they would run away.

As soon as Section Chief Su saw this group of fat hares, his eyes lit up and the smile never disappeared from his face from that moment on.

I counted them and found there were exactly ten big rabbits. The most important thing was that they were still alive. The taste of game is different when you kill it alive and then eat it dead. The former tastes more delicious.

It would be best to ask the canteen to keep these fat rabbits for special cooking. If the leaders could eat such delicious rabbits, they would definitely have a better impression of the purchasing department's ability to do things.

He asked the canteen staff to weigh the wild rabbit, and it came out to be 38 pounds. Considering the market price of 50 cents per pound of rabbit meat, the total cost was 19 yuan.

Since the money earned from selling wild boars and fish before was higher than it is now, Lin Donglai reacted calmly to the money earned from selling the rabbits after hearing the offer.

After all, he could eliminate his biggest worry and make some money at the same time, which was a win-win situation for him. But it was different for some others.

After Yan Jiecheng took the two cents, he didn't walk far. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he turned back and hid behind someone to watch the entire quotation process.

After hearing that these rabbits could be sold for 19 yuan, although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked. This was a lot of money for him.

This kid can earn almost a month's living expenses for his family in less than half a day, while I work so hard to earn only two cents. It's really unfair.

If he could have the same good luck as this kid, he would be satisfied even if he could only earn half of the money.

There is no harm without comparison. Yan Jiecheng was in no mood to read on and walked back silently...

As usual, Lin Donglai followed Section Chief Su. After the two of them arrived at the purchasing department, Section Chief Su asked about his requirements and then took out the money and handed it to him.

After checking the money and finding no problem, Lin Donglai was about to say goodbye and leave, but Section Chief Su stopped him and said, "Xiao Lin, don't be in a hurry to leave. Come on, come on, sit down first. I'll settle your previous ticket for you."

Finally, Chief Su took the initiative to bring up the matter. Lin Donglai certainly would not refuse. According to his previous plan, he asked for some food tickets and some cloth tickets.

This time, Section Chief Su did not frown. He rummaged through the drawer and collected all the tickets as he requested. He handed them to him and said, "Xiao Lin, check to see if the number is correct."

After Lin Donglai felt that nothing was missing, he politely replied, "Thank you, Chief Su. I think there is no problem. I won't bother you if there is nothing else. I'll take my leave now."

After thanking him, Lin Donglai turned around and was about to step out the door, but Section Chief Su stopped him again:

"Xiao Lin, wait a moment, I want to discuss something with you..."
