Rebirth 1983: The counterattack started from hunting in the mountains
Chapter 14 The Old Man Who Loves Birds
Qingyang Town, market.
Zhang Yaoyang released the black stork and started selling it.
This thing is still alive after being brought down from the mountain, and it is very friendly. It will eat when fed water and grass.
Zhang Yaoyang put a straw tag on it and asked for 180 yuan.
This price is the same as that of the tricycle, which is shockingly expensive.
For a while, there were many people watching, but most of them were asking where the birds came from, and not many people wanted to buy them.
In this era, for the same price, more people will choose to buy pork, which is more cost-effective.
Zhang Yaoyang was not in a hurry. Such high-end items would naturally have to wait for the right person.
If you take it to a restaurant, it would cost the same as a pile of meat, and at most you’d sell it for a hundred yuan.
He didn't want to waste all his hard work, so it was necessary to ask for a high price, as things are valuable because they are rare.
He didn't find this stall randomly; it was in the most remote place in the market.
There are so many people here just because people passing by want to see it in wonder, otherwise there wouldn't be a single person there.
He was waiting for someone, someone who loved birds madly.
He was originally an old scholar, said to be at the associate professor level, but because he was not good at interpersonal communication and offended many people, he was squeezed out to Qingyang Town to be an office director.
This person is obsessed with studying birds and regards money as dirt, making him the best buyer.
In Zhang Yaoyang's car, there was not only a wild boar, but also a basket of bird eggs that had been placed there in advance.
He found it along the way last night.
With the help of system identification, the pregnant bird eggs were picked out, there were more than eighty of them. The rest were left for the family to eat fresh.
It was also the time of spring when flowers were blooming, all things were reviving, and birds were busy nurturing the next generation. It was a perfect opportunity for Zhang Yaoyang. If he went at another time, it would be a waste of time.
The old scholar's house was nearby, and when he heard the commotion at the door and the loud chirping of birds, he naturally pushed through the crowd and walked over.
"My boy, you are a black stork... you are so energetic! So beautiful, so beautiful!"
As soon as the old scholar came up, he started to touch it, with unstoppable joy in his eyes.
"Old man, if you like it, just buy it and keep it. You see, it's very easy to keep. Give it a handful of grass and it will eat it deliciously."
Zhang Yaoyang picked a handful of grass from the edge of the field and handed it to the old man on the spot, asking him to try it.
It was the first time for the old man to come into such close contact with a live bird. After a successful trial feeding, he started asking questions without thinking.
"No matter how much it costs, I want it!"
"Old man, be honest. This is a good thing I got from the Shiwan Mountains. It's not easy to buy outside. Just give me 180 as a reward. This is the money I risked my life for. It's not expensive at all."
"It just so happens that there will be no such store after this village."
When they heard it was Shiwandashan, everyone present took a deep breath.
"Young man, who gave you the courage? Don't go there again next time. It's too dangerous."
"Ignorance is bliss. That place is too dangerous. Sigh...among the young men in this area, you are the bravest."
……
Zhang Yaoyang just smiled and said nothing. He wanted to say that it was Liang Jingru who gave him the courage, but after thinking about it, he held it back. These people didn’t understand the joke and would only make things boring.
Most of the people living in the town work in government agencies or run small businesses and have some extra money.
These people are quite kind most of the time, and he finds it heartwarming to listen to them.
Unlike the people in the village, who are afraid of poverty, that feeling...tsk tsk...it’s hard to describe.
It is said that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people, and good moral character can only be cultivated after being raised in wealth.
Of course, there are good and bad people everywhere. Most people in this world are simple and kind, with only a very small number of people being extreme.
The old man was a little hesitant at first. 180 yuan was equivalent to two months' salary for a cadre like him. It was a bit...
However, when Zhang Yaoyang took out the basket of bird eggs, he was completely overwhelmed.
He checked every bird egg, and with his expertise, he found that all of them could hatch.
Moreover, Zhang Yaoyang knows every variety by heart, and he writes down their types and hatching dates on the eggshells with a pen.
Each egg costs one dollar, which is not cheap at all.
Things have come to this point, and the old man can't find any reason not to buy them. He really likes these birds, and they will be of immeasurable help to his research.
Looking at the black stork and the basket of bird eggs, the old man experienced a struggle between his conscience and his desires, but he finally gritted his teeth and bought it.
If he missed it, no matter how much money he had for the rest of his life, he would regret it so much that he wouldn't be able to sleep.
The total cost was 260 yuan, which was a huge sum of money. Zhang Yaoyang smiled sincerely and said to the old man, "Old man, don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. If I am lucky enough to get a rare bird in the future, I will give it to you."
By that time, he no longer needed such primitive means to accumulate funds, so he naturally looked down on this kind of small wild animal. Using it for the old gentleman's research can be regarded as a kind of support for such scholars.
The old man originally had some ideas, but now he completely let them go and shook hands with Zhang Yaoyang.
"Young man, if you can really help me collect more birds for my research, I will definitely include your name in my book if I am lucky enough to publish it in the future."
Zhang Yaoyang did not expect such an unexpected surprise. This meant that the other party intended to share the research results with him. Even if he only occupied an inconspicuous corner in the book, he would still leave his name in history.
This deal was not a loss at all, so he naturally kept it in mind.
After completing this transaction, there is still work to be done to process it in a timely manner. The longer it is kept, the less fresh it becomes, so he is busy looking for buyers.
However, at this moment, he saw the two sons of his eldest uncle, along with several relatives, carrying a patient through the market.
It was my eldest cousin Liu Tianshui. After he gave me a big gift that night, I was now lying on the bed crying out in pain.
From a distance, you can see the arm that is black and swollen like a pig's trotter.
Tsk tsk…the snake he gave was not the most poisonous one, but a very mild one. It shouldn’t have been so serious.
Liu Tianshui had drunk some wine that day, so the snake bit him and killed him on the spot.
As for the wound, he was in a daze and didn't have time to treat it.
When I discovered it the next day, it had already developed into this.
In such a serious situation, Wang Laoguan from the village naturally couldn't bear to see it, so he had someone send him to the town.
This poison won't kill me, but it will just make me suffer. This can be considered as revenge for the bullying I suffered as a child.
It’s best not to get into trouble with their family in the future, otherwise, this relationship will be completely broken off.
