Rebirth 1983: The counterattack started from hunting in the mountains

Everyone was busy with their own things, and Zhang Yaoyang went somewhere alone.

There are still a lot of supplies stored in his space, which is his secret. The things inside are all valuable goods, and they have to be taken to people with discerning eyes to be sold at a high price.

The place he is going to now is a state-owned hotel.

We often receive wild mountain delicacies sent by mountain folks here. The prices are fair and everyone is treated fairly. It is a good place to go.

He made a worn snakeskin bag in advance and put all the dozens of snakes in the space into it.

Then we went to the kitchen and found a man named Liu.

This person is the person in charge of purchasing. His name is Lao Liutou. He is wearing a white chef's uniform and holding a small notebook in his hand. He is checking the accounts with the kitchen staff.

Zhang Yaoyang stepped forward naturally and handed the other party a cigarette that he had taken from Chen Ergou.

"Hello, Master. I have a bag of snakes here. Would you like to take them?"

"Eh? The snake seller! I'll wait... No, I want to see it now!"

The old master did not refuse the temptation of the cigarette. He took it and put it between his ears. His attitude towards Zhang Yaoyang was naturally much kinder.

"This is your first time here, right? Open it and see how many there are. Each type of snake here has a different price. You also have to look at whether it's dead or alive, its weight, etc., so that we can determine the price."

"Okay, I'll catch them one by one and show them to you."

Zhang Yaoyang boldly untied the bag, reached out and pulled out a strand.

Those snakes are very ferocious, but in the hands of someone who knows how to catch them, catching them is as easy as taking something out of a bag.

A waiter brought a bamboo urn and asked Zhang Yaoyang to put the goods in it, then weighed it and gave a quote.

An ordinary rat snake can be sold for seven or eight yuan, which is equivalent to ten pieces of pork.

Zhang Yaoyang already knew the result, so he was not surprised at all. He silently took out the second one and weighed it.

The old master recorded the species and weight of the snake in a small notebook.

In this way, Zhang Yaoyang caught and recorded them at the same time. After finally counting them up, there were actually hundreds of them.

They sold the skins and guts together, with the cheapest ones costing a few yuan and the most expensive ones costing over thirty yuan. In total, they made a profit of 5890 yuan.

With just this one trip, he firmly joined the ranks of wealthy people and was not far from becoming a millionaire.

The money came so quickly that it was simply jaw-dropping.

The old master and the guys in the shop couldn't help but look at him sideways.

"Good fellow, you are really brave. You have stirred up a snake's nest. You have done so many things in one go. Aren't you afraid of some accidents?"

Zhang Yaoyang scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Luckily, I happened to encounter a nest of snakes that had just woken up from hibernation, and even the pot was taken away."

"Master, can you eat all this in one go?"

The old chef was happy: "It's impossible to eat so much in such a small restaurant. However, we are a state-owned restaurant, and we are in circulation with other towns and counties. If we distribute this stuff, there will not be enough."

"It's too dirty to eat this stuff. If you soak it in medicinal wine, its value will double. It's a good thing that's hard to buy even if you have money!"

Zhang Yaoyang was just asking casually. He already knew all about this kind of thing, so there was no reason for him not to know it.

The old master took the money from his account and gave it to him directly. He then said to him, "Young comrade, I think you are capable. I have a business here. If you can make it, you may earn more."

This person also saw that Zhang Yaoyang was not easily affected by fame or disgrace, and felt that he was different from ordinary young people. He was calm and steady, bold and careful, and a person worthy of trust.

"Master, if you have any good news, please tell me. I won't forget you."

Zhang Yaoyang very tactfully handed him another cigarette, and when lighting the cigarette, he forced the matchbox in his hand into his hand.

I was afraid that the other party didn’t understand, so I pinched it on purpose.

The old master's job is to welcome and see off government officials every day. He has seen all kinds of people and is naturally a very skilled person.

He immediately opened the matchbox inconspicuously and took a peek, and found that there was a neatly stacked big unity banknote inside.

This was equivalent to one or two months' salary for him, and he nodded involuntarily.

"What's your name, young man? Where are you from?"

Zhang Yaoyang did not hide anything and told the truth.

"Besides catching snakes, do you dare to catch bigger and more ferocious ones?"

Zhang Yaoyang raised his head confidently: "No problem, as long as there is something in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, I can catch it for you."

The master raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect that you would have the courage to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains. This is not something that ordinary people can do. If so, it seems that this wealth and honor will fall on you."

He whispered a few words in Zhang Yaoyang's ear, and then waved his hand nonchalantly: "Remember, you have to be alive, not disabled. Money is not a problem, this is the amount."

Zhang Yaoyang frowned, then turned the other person's hand over again, indicating doubling.

"Master, this is too risky. It cannot be done by one person. It may even cost lives. I think this number is reasonable. What do you think?"

"This... is too expensive. Just adding this amount is enough. Brother Zhang should be content."

The master changed the palm of the hand and replaced it with three fingers.

Zhang Yaoyang also knew that this was probably the other party’s bottom line.

So he said decisively: "After five days, please prepare to receive the goods."

The two smiled slightly and shook hands tacitly, thus reaching a deal.

Before leaving, the old master still gave another instruction with some concern.

"It's better to come at night. This matter should not be known to outsiders. Do you understand?"

Zhang Yaoyang nodded.

Less than three days after he came back, he had already accumulated his first pot of gold.

Now in Zhaojia Village, they are the first family to get out of poverty. There is no other family that can compare with the Zhang family. Let's see who has the courage to bully them.

But this is just the beginning. You can never have too much money. The more the better. You also have to think about how to spend it to improve your family's life.

The first thing he thought of was to buy a tricycle.

This thing is convenient for hauling goods. My parents can use it to haul firewood, transport food, etc.

We didn't buy a tractor because it consumes a lot of oil. Zhaojia Village is too remote and backward, and we have to travel a long way to buy diesel. It takes half a day to go back and forth.

Moreover, the roads in the village are not very good. Some places are too narrow, and the tractors are too big and heavy to pass through.

The small tricycle is more affordable.

After weighing the pros and cons, he immediately went to the supply and marketing cooperative, went to the professional hardware window, and bought it for 185 yuan, which was equivalent to three months' salary for his second aunt's family.

Then he bought a bunch of daily necessities, such as soy sauce, tea, vinegar, sugar, rice, flour, grain and oil. He also brought home bundles of cloth that he usually couldn't afford to buy.

As for ready-made clothes and shoes, they are all based on the sizes of family members, and each person can have two to three sets of clothes for replacement.

I even bought the pens, ink, books, hair bands, combs, vanishing cream, toothpaste and toothbrushes that my little sister needed for her studies.

Zhang Yaoyang was very meticulous. When he was about to leave, he went back and bought two large bundles of slightly rough toilet paper, intending to help his family members change their bad habit of scraping their buttocks with bamboo strips.

If I could live my life over again, I would never let my butt down no matter what.
