Siheyuan: Cao Liang's rise

"Brother, how do I collect it?"

Cao Liang asked.

Chi Hu pondered and said, "The fur of this blind bear is well preserved and worth a lot. The meat must be worth a lot as well. The bear paws are more valuable, but the most valuable thing is its gallbladder. However, it is best to take the gallbladder immediately after the blind bear dies. Now... Junior Brother, please wait a moment."

Chi Hu gave some instructions and went out.

"Liangzi, I..."

Gangzi was about to speak when Cao Liang raised his hand to interrupt him. He said sternly, "Gangzi, do you remember that I asked you not to go out to work?"

Gangzi nodded.

Cao Liang said slowly, "Gangzi, I will not do odd jobs in the future. I will focus on hunting. I brought you here today to let you get acquainted with the place. I will focus on hunting in the future, and you will be responsible for trading with my senior brother. Is that okay?"

"No."

Gangzi shook his head decisively and refused: "I want to go hunting too. You can leave the transaction to Mosquito or Dongzi. They are smarter than me."

In Gangzi's opinion, he had a weak brain and only a lot of strength. He knew Cao Liang wanted to help him, and since they were all brothers, he would definitely not refuse.

But he still cared more about Cao Liang's safety.

It didn’t matter if he didn’t know last time, but now that he knew, he had to go with her no matter what, so that they could take care of each other if they encountered any danger.

After hearing what Gangzi said, Cao Liang had a headache.

He was not needed for hunting, he could handle it easily by himself, and he had the help of space.

But given Gangzi's temper, it would be impossible for him to refuse.

After a moment of hesitation, Cao Liang nodded and agreed: "Okay! You can go hunting with me later."

Gangzi always follows Cao Liang's lead and does whatever Cao Liang asks him to do.

Even if he saw Cao Liang's ability, as long as Cao Liang asked him not to say it, he would not say it even if you beat him to death.

He couldn't guarantee anything about Gu Wen and Wang Dong, but he could definitely trust Gangzi.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken out the blind bear like that just now.

"it is good!"

Gangzi grinned when he saw Cao Liang agreed.

After a while, Chi Hu came back.

A middle-aged man came back with him.

As soon as the man entered the door, he was attracted by the blind bear on the ground, and he started to attack without saying a word.

Chi Hu introduced: "This guy is called Heizi, one of my men, he used to be a hunter, I let him do all the things in this regard."

Cao Liang nodded.

After checking, Heizi said to Chihu, "Master Hu, I checked and found that this blind bear died not long ago. The gallbladder should still be intact. Do you want to extract the gallbladder now?"

Chi Hu looked at Cao Liang, who nodded.

Chi Hucai said: "Okay, I'll leave it to you."

Heizi didn't waste any time, took out a hunting knife from his waist and started working.

Chi Hu took Cao Liang and Gangzi to drink tea and wait.

after a while.

Heizi held up the bear gall in his hand and said, "Master Tiger, you are lucky. The bear gall is still well preserved. It is just an ordinary bear gall, not as good as a copper gall. The skin and flesh have also been decomposed."

Chi Hu nodded and asked, "What is the current price of bear bile and bear meat?"

Heizi replied, "Bear paws are more expensive. The meat is about two pieces. The gallbladder of this quality can be sold for two hundred at Jishengtang. The bear skin is very intact, so it is definitely worth one hundred."

Chi Hu looked at Cao Liang, and Cao Liang smiled and said, "Just do as this person says."

After thinking for a while, Cao Liang said, "Brother, I want to keep these two bear paws in front for myself. They will be useful."

"Okay. Heizi, go weigh the meat."

After Chi Hu finished speaking, he asked Cao Liang: "Brother, do you want money or food?"

"There's no rush yet."

Cao Liang asked, "Brother, can you get some seeds for crops, as well as chicken and piglets?"

"It should be possible, but it will take time."

Chi Hu asked curiously, "What do you want these for? People are hungry now, where is the food to feed them?"

Cao Liang shook his head.

Chi Hu didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, I'll get it for you later, how much do you want?"

"For piglets, it's best to have one male and one female. If possible, get two pairs! For chickens, get about a hundred!"

Cao Liang thought for a moment and said.

"Okay, in that case, what do you want?"

"As for crops, there are only sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, wheat and the like."

"Then wheat and corn!"

Both of these can be eaten by humans and animals, so it is more cost-effective.

As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later when the space becomes larger.

Chi Hu nodded. It happened that there were some goods available right now, so he asked someone to get them.

A small bag of wheat seeds, and a small bag of corn seeds.

Cao Liang took a look and decided that these seeds were enough for his current needs.

Heizi had also weighed the meat by now. The total weight was more than 200 kilograms. The chihu cost 450 yuan, the bear gallbladder added 200 yuan, the bear skin added 100 yuan, and the two bear paws added 50 yuan, making a total of exactly 800 yuan.

In this era when the average wage is in the twenties, eight hundred yuan is a very large sum.

Cao Liang naturally wouldn't take all the money, so he asked, "Brother, what tickets do you have here?"

"Quite a lot."

Chi Hu waved his hand, and someone brought a pile of tickets, including watch tickets and bicycle tickets.

Cao Liang selected a bicycle ticket and a watch ticket, selected some other tickets, and asked for 100 kilograms of corn flour.

Chi Hu said, "These bills and grain are 150 yuan, Xiao Wu, go get the money."

Soon, six hundred and fifty yuan was delivered to Cao Liang.

Cao Liang frowned and said, "Brother, this kind of money."

The bill is definitely worth more than this, not to mention the food.

As far as Cao Liang knew, the bicycle ticket alone would cost at least eighty or ninety yuan, so this was too much of a favor.

Chi Hu waved his hand and said, "Those are not worth much. Just consider them as a gift from my senior brother to my junior brother."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Chi Hu shook his head and said, "As for the chickens and piglets you want, you have to wait two days."

"Row."

Cao Liang nodded and told Chi Hu his home address, asking him to notify him when he had any news.

After finishing his work, Cao Liang asked to leave.

Before Cao Liang left, Chi Hu reminded him, "Brother, remember to come and have tea with me more often when you have time."

"Good."

Cao Liang waved his hand and took Gangzi away from the black market.

As for the favor of the meeting gift, I can just pay it back later.

After all, when people get along with each other, it’s all about give and take.

If you just keep asking for things, even with the friendship with Liu Zhen, it won't last long.

But there is no rush, there will be more opportunities in the future, we can talk about it later.

As for other prey, Cao Liang was also anxious to get them out.

After all, it was too much to take out at once and it was too high-profile.

There were no accidents along the way and we returned to Gangzi's home.

After closing the door, Gangzi asked in confusion: "Liangzi, why don't you exchange for more food?"

Every family is short of food now. Compared to money, food is more practical.

"It's okay. I'll have plans for food later."

Cao Liang took out a big black ten and handed it to Gangzi. Gangzi frowned and asked, "Liangzi, what do you mean?"

In his opinion, he didn't do anything tonight, so how could he have the nerve to take the money?

Cao Liang said, "Use it to buy some food and daily necessities for your brothers and sisters. Just think of it as a loan from you."

After hearing what Cao Liang said, Gangzi accepted it.

Speaking of which, his sister has always wanted a hairband, and he agreed, but he hasn't bought it yet. It's time to buy it.

"As for these grains, you can keep 20 kilograms for your family. In addition, you can ask Mosquito and Dongzi to come over tomorrow and take 20 kilograms each. I will take the rest back. Their families are not having a good time either."

"Row."

After saying that, the two of them lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
