Rebirth 1983: The counterattack started from hunting in the mountains

Zhang Yaoyang waited until dawn and finally saw Zhang Mingtang.

He was handcuffed and his mental state was not very good.

When I saw the Zhang family, I somehow felt a kind of hidden sadness.

Behind him, there were more than ten people, six of whom were civil servants, and the rest were hired laborers who were specifically responsible for carrying the bodies down the mountain.

Seeing Zhang Mingtang's expression, Zhang Yaoyang had guessed that he must have seen the heartless letter of severance of engagement.

I didn’t know how to comfort him, so I could only ask his mother Liu Huifang to prepare some more delicious food so that he could replenish his body and warm himself up temporarily.

It was rare for him to eat fresh, hot food outside, so his eyes were red and he had trouble swallowing the food he ate.

Probably he didn't expect that his own family couldn't compare to the kindness shown to him by Zhang Yaoyang and his family of strangers.

Those official servants, including the laborers, were all taken care of. After all, they had been traveling for a long morning. Although they had brought dry food, they were all mortals and needed to rest, drink water and eat.

Zhang Mingtang is only a suspect now, not a criminal. As for the result, further investigation is needed before a conclusion can be drawn. Therefore, he still has some freedom.

Chen Ergou was mainly responsible for taking Pang Delong and his group around the village for two days, taking them to watch TV and treating them to delicious food and drinks.

Only after Zhang Yaoyang has finished dealing with Zhang Mingtang's affairs will he be able to free up his hands to lead people to Sparrow Mountain.

Although Chen Ergou had been there twice and knew the route, he was still frightened when he thought of the snakes and did not dare to take anyone there alone.

The scenery in the village was just so-so, and because of the dry weather, the corn in the fields grew thin and short. Experienced people had already seen that there would be a shortage of food in the fall.

But that's how farmers are, they rely on the weather for their livelihood and have no say over whether the harvest will be good or bad.

Those with foresight have already started thinking about ways to make a living, either by quarrying or working in coal mines.

The workload in the quarry is fixed and does not require too many people, so more people choose to work in the coal mines.

As a result, only a few old, weak, sick and disabled people were left in the village to guard their homes, and the rest of the young people who were still able to move had all left.

Zhang Yaoyang was actually a little confused. These people would rather do this kind of work where accidents could happen at any time than follow him up the mountain to make big money. He must have been fooled.

It seems that they have to wait until they suffer a little before they can make the right choice.

There is nothing that can be done about it. He is just an ordinary student and does not have the ability to command everyone.

It is already a good thing to be able to gain good popularity in the village.

Take for example Mrs. Liu who came to cause trouble yesterday. The people in the village, intentionally or unintentionally, still helped the Zhang family and excluded her in an xenophobic way.

Otherwise, just by listening to the woman's wailing, it would be difficult for their family to get rid of this woman whether they managed her or ignored her.

But I didn't expect that when I took a rest in the yard, I saw Mrs. Liu coming to my door again with a haggard face.

However, as soon as the person entered the yard, before he had time to cry, he saw a man wearing a green hat standing in the yard, and he was so scared that he ran away immediately.

It seemed as if if she ran slower, she would be caught by these people.

In fact, no one wanted to pay attention to her. She came and then seemed to have not come. When she left, she was really gone and no one would care.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhang Yaoyang instructed Chen Ergou and his father and brother to treat good people well and not to be too stingy.

Zhang Yaoyang even made a list in advance of what Pang Delong and his friends would eat in the next few days, and asked them to entertain them according to the specifications.

Chen Ergou is responsible for being a lackey, mediating in all aspects, and making sure to make people happy and comfortable, so that they will have fond memories after they leave.

This list shocked everyone.

Zhang Yaoyang even prepared the ingredients in advance, and wrote down the cooking method clearly, and asked his mother to cook according to the method to achieve perfection.

These days, Zhang Yaoyang copied all the menus from later generations and trained his mother to be a gourmet expert.

In the past, she could only cook some crude food, which was barely enough to feed the family. As for whether it was delicious or not, that was no longer a concern of hers.

However, ever since there was no shortage of meat at home, his cooking skills had naturally been forced to improve, and now he had already reached the level of a master.

So, when I ate wild mushroom chicken hotpot for the first time, I was instantly amazed by it.

The soup had a rich, white and pure aroma, and the two of them ate until their stomachs were full.

Next was the grilled steak with black truffle, the aroma was so delicious that it made your tongue dizzy.

Hericium erinaceus, yam and pork ribs soup, preserved egg and bark flower soup...

This is a delicacy that you definitely can't find in places like Kyoto, and what's rare is that the cooking skills are also very good.

If you were to eat at a big restaurant, to be honest, a meal like this would cost at least two hundred dollars.

Over the past two days, thanks to this cooking skill and fresh ingredients, the two skinny old men gained three pounds.

When Zhang Yaoyang and his men came back from the mountain, they saw the two men with rosy faces and were naturally very satisfied.

After watching Zhang Mingtang and his group leave, Zhang Yaoyang did not rest for long. He called them and immediately went up the mountain.

The full of energy and the look of never getting tired is so enviable that one can only sigh, it’s great to be young!

Little did they know that, under the training of the golden finger, Zhang Yaoyang's physical fitness was as strong as iron and even stronger than a lion.

Everyone was originally planning to carry supplies with them, but later they heard that Zhang Yaoyang had already placed the supplies in the mountains in advance, so they just had to go empty-handed.

Such attentive and thoughtful service naturally earned Pang Delong a lot of praise.

"Young man, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament. Do you want to come and work in my company? I am in great need of capable people like you."

"If you are willing, I am willing to pay you 200 yuan a month."

Two hundred yuan sounds like a lot. You have to know that Zhang Yaoyang has an aunt. Their family works in the school in the town. One of them sweeps the floor and cleans the toilet, and the other is a gatekeeper. At most, they can only earn more than 20 yuan a month.

Their jobs are the least rewarding, barely enough to make a living.

Even the mayor only earned fifty or sixty yuan a month. Zhang Yaoyang's hard work was not in vain, as he earned 200 yuan in wages all at once. If this were to spread to the villagers, many people would be shocked.

Unfortunately, not only did Zhang Yaoyang look down on the salary, even Chen Ergou was somewhat unmoved.

They can easily earn thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars a month by just staying at home, so why should they work so hard for 200 yuan?

"Mr. Pang, I appreciate your kindness. I personally cannot leave this mountain. I like to stay in the mountains and be a freelancer."

"However, if you like my eldest brother, I hope he can work with you. You just need to provide him with food and shelter. As for the salary, you can pay it when the time comes."

Since Zhang Yaoyang had said this, Pang Delong had no reason to refuse. The other party was willing to follow him for free. Where else could he find someone so easy to use?

Pang Delong also knew Zhang Yongqiang. From his observations over the past two days, he found that this young man was very gentle and polite, had a very good personality, and was very smart. He could understand anything you said to him.

This family's temperament doesn't seem like that of country folk at all, and he admires them all. Of course, he likes Zhang Yaoyang the most.

However, he also knew that this young man was not a small fish in the pond, and sooner or later he would jump over the dragon gate and rush towards the vast ocean.
