Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

Zhong Dahai heard people talking about their own affairs at the dinner table and felt he couldn't get a word in, but he didn't refuse either.

If the girl is really good, it would be a good marriage!

As long as he is a nice person and looks good, that's enough. He really doesn't care about anything else.

After eating and drinking, Zhong Shan and Zhong Dahai said goodbye and left. Song Wenqing tried to stop them: "Why are you leaving? You are not home yet. How can you live outside when you are home?"

Sister-in-law Feng Yuqin also said: "Yes, the room is ready, don't leave, just stay here!"

Of course Zhongshan can’t live here. How can he go out at night if he lives here?

"The guesthouse has already booked a room, and the luggage is all here. Besides, it's not just the two of us, there's a group of people with us, and we can't just leave them behind. Besides, I plan to go out for a walk tonight, and it's not convenient for me to stay here with you!"

After hearing Zhong Shan's words, Song Wenqing said nothing more. Where else could he go to go out at night? Either the pigeon market or the black market.

When he returned to the city during the Chinese New Year, he discovered that his brother-in-law, who looked harmless despite his thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually not an honest man and had very positive ideas.

Just look at how many properties he has and the small yellow croakers he gave to his children as gifts, and you know he's no ordinary man. So it's reasonable for him to go around and buy some things after arriving in Fengtian.

After the brothers Zhong Shan and Zhong Dahai came out of Song Wenqing's house, Zhong Shan recalled the route the driver had told him and walked towards the direction of Gezi City.

Song Wenqing's home is a bit far from Pigeon City, but he is also right. Who is stupid enough to move Pigeon City to the military compound? That's like a birthday star hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long. I can't ignore you even if I want to!

It took them nearly an hour to reach the destination. Fortunately, Zhong Shan had a good memory and was able to find the place after walking around for a long time.

Unlike the pigeon market in the old city which was set up in an abandoned yard, the pigeon market here was set up on a large open space with branches inserted around it to form a fence.

A section of unpaved land was used as the gate. I didn't see anyone charging at the gate, so I guess it should be free.

That's right, since it's free, this is the best. Although it's a little less hidden, no matter how hidden it is, people who should know will still know where it is. It's just a case of covering up the truth.

This way, if someone comes to check, it will be easier to escape and you can run anywhere.

It seems that the inspection here is indeed not as strict as that in the Forbidden City. Many people walk around in there with their faces exposed.

Zhong Shan and the other man didn't bring any face coverings. Although they had some in Zhong Shan's space, it was not convenient to take them out now. Now that they saw that most of the people inside were not covering their faces, that was perfect, they could just go in without hesitation!

Food is still the mainstream in Pigeon City. Most of them are coarse grains and the quantity is not large. However, compared with Sijiu City, there are many more pheasants and rabbits.

Zhong Shan and his companion looked at many stalls. Although there were a lot of game, the weather was hot and the game would not last long. If they bought less, they could also buy it in Sijiu City, so neither of them made a purchase.

Although he saw some hunters selling wolf skins, Zhongshan had no interest in them.

After a walk around, Zhongshan just bought some dried mushrooms and hazelnuts, which could be considered as some local specialties to bring back.

Zhong Dahai didn't buy anything. When the two were about to go back, Zhong Shan saw a leather seller at the end of this stall.

There were also some animal skins on the ground, including wolf skins, rabbit skins and furs of some small animals.

Zhong Shan squatted down in front of the stall and looked at the furs. They were all tanned, some of which were very soft and the fur looked relatively thick. The merchant looked like an old hunter, with a weathered face and bright eyes.

Zhong Shan took a look at the fur and asked the stall owner: What kind of fur is this and how much is it?

The old man knew Zhongshan was not a local when he heard his accent. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "My dear, the mink fur you have is something I hunted with great difficulty. It's all tanned. If you like it, I can give you a discount. How about 40 per piece?"

Zhong Shan was shocked when he heard this. You old man are really evil. "Well, I can't afford it. You can wait for the next person."

After saying this, Zhong Shan put down the mink fur in his hand, stood up and prepared to leave.

He had wasted a lot of money on the black market and was afraid of being cheated.

When the stall owner saw Zhongshan getting up and about to leave, he hurriedly called out to him. It was so hard to find someone who was interested, but now he was about to run away!

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave, man. If the price you offer is not good, you can bargain for it. If it is, I will sell it to you!"

After hearing this, Zhong Shan took another look and said, "You are asking too much. You dare to ask for 40 yuan for this mink fur. I can't do anything with 40 yuan. I can only make a scarf. If I buy this in the store, it's enough to buy me a piece of clothing!"

Zhong Shan looked at the seven or eight processed mink skins below. It was really difficult to do anything with them. Forget about making clothes with them. Not to mention that they were not enough, he would not dare to wear them out even if he made them. He could at least make a waistcoat out of them.

How about this, you name a price, and if it’s right, I’ll buy all your mink furs!

The old man was not surprised to hear Zhong Shan's words. The mink fur was indeed a little small, and there was no point in buying them one or two at a time. Moreover, the two men's accents showed that they were from other places, and their clothes showed that they were rich.

"If you want to buy all of them, I'll definitely give you a discount. How about I not charge 40, but half of it, 20 per skin, and there are 8 of them in total. I'll give you another 10 yuan discount, so I'll charge you 150. How about that? That's quite nice!"

Zhong Shan heard that you cut yourself, but he didn't say anything. He looked at the things beside him and said, "You have too little. It's not enough to make a dress. Do you have mink fur?"

When the man heard that Zhongshan wanted more, he took out two brown mink skins from the package beside him and said, "I still have two purple sable skins, but these purple sables are hard to come by, so I can't give you the same price!"

Zhong Shandu took a look and said, "Then I'll give you a price. If you think it's suitable, you can sell it. If it's not suitable, I'll turn around and leave. Let's not waste time talking. Is that ok with you?"

The stall owner looked at Zhong Shan and said, "Okay, I like to be happy too, old man. You name a price!"

"I'll give you 100 for these eight mink skins, and 100 for the two sables, a total of 200 yuan, do you want to sell them?"

Zhong Shan actually didn't know the price, as he had never bought this kind of animal skins, but he really liked them, especially the skins of the two sables, which were relatively rare. He didn't mind paying a high price, as he would be returning to the city in a few days, and he wouldn't even know if he was being ripped off.

If I buy it at a low price, I'll consider it a bargain and the trip won't be in vain.

After hearing Zhongshan's price, the stall owner thought about it and decided that 8 yuan for 100 ordinary mink skins was an acceptable price, which was a bit higher than the normal price. However, it was hard to say about the two sables. If he found one he liked, he could sell it for a higher price. But looking at the young man's appearance, he couldn't buy them separately, and it wouldn't be easy to find a buyer.
