Chapter 10 Selling Prey

The brother and sister walked all the way to the pigeon market. When they were almost at the door, Zhang Xingwang saw a dark alley and turned to his elder sister and said seriously:

"The person delivering the roe deer is in the alley ahead, but he only let me go over to get it. You wait here and I'll get it."

The elder sister stopped and said to Zhang Xingwang seriously:

"Then come over. I'm waiting for you at the entrance of the alley. If you have any problems, just call me loudly."

Zhang Xingwang responded and went to a deserted place in the alley. He took out the roe deer and python from the space and dragged them out of the alley with great effort. After all, the roe deer weighed about seventy or eighty kilograms.

After leaving the alley, I waved to the elder sister who was looking around the alley. The elder sister immediately ran over, picked up the roe deer in one hand, took the python in the other hand, weighed it, and said happily:

"You really did kill a roe deer, so why is there a python?"

"Well, the python belongs to someone else, and I only have a roe deer. Let's help him sell the python, and I will bring the money to him next time, as a reward for his help in transporting it this time."

Seeing the elder sister holding a python in her left hand and a roe deer in her right hand with a relaxed look on her face, Zhang Xingwang had a clear understanding of the elder sister's strength this time. Even if the strong laborers in the village came, they would be no more than this.

The eldest sister walked in front with the prey in her hand, excitedly, while Zhang Xingwang followed silently behind.

From time to time, I saw the elder sister holding roe deer and pythons in front of her and looking at them, muttering something like "pretty fat".

Zhang Xingwang rolled his eyes. Fortunately, it was the careless elder sister, so he could save a lot of trouble. If it was the fourth sister who had a hundred thousand questions, the scene would be too beautiful to imagine.

I was thinking that the Zhang family must have the gene for strongmen, so I will definitely not be too bad after some supplementation.

It's pitch dark here. When I get back I'll have to check if I have double bones and exercise them to make them stand out. Otherwise I won't have any manly dignity in front of my elder sister.

After only a few steps, I was met with the gatekeeper's shocked expression and the crowd's onlookers. This was a bit too eye-catching. It seems that next time I have to get a backpack or put it directly in the space and trade outside.

And no matter what, I can't bring my eldest sister with me. Her carefree personality makes her unsuitable for this kind of place.

After putting the things on the stall, Zhang Xingwang ignored the chattering crowd and said directly:

"Only money and tickets can be exchanged. If you have made up your mind, just make an offer and the highest bidder wins."

He still understood the basic auction methods. Four or five groups of people came one after another and gave their prices and receipts. The price of python and roe deer meat was basically around 50 cents per pound.

The current pork purchasing station only charges a little over 60 cents, but you need a ticket, and even if you line up early in the morning you can’t buy any.

Although roe deer and pythons do not require tickets, they have less fat and more bones. These days the price of meat is based on the amount of fat, so this price is not considered to be a rip-off.

The people who were watching the place came over and said that as long as it was meat, they would take as much as they could get, and they would buy it at a fixed price. They could ask for any kind of bills or anything else, and they would have a way to deal with it. And they would definitely not let him suffer any loss. If it was appropriate, just let him know, and their boss, the third master, would come over to talk to him later.

Zhang Xingwang was stunned after hearing this. It was Brother Tong who was not helpful enough. If he was given a farm or something, the business would have taken off immediately. Now he had gone through so much trouble to get a roe deer to show off. Needless to say, he would have to keep running back and forth between the mountains and the pigeon market.

Brother Tong can't be more broad-minded. He has given everything, but he is still stingy and only gives a little bit of space. If he continues like this, not even his legs can hold it. What's the difference between this and delivering takeaway food?

No matter what you think, you should just honestly exchange it with the person in charge. At least the person, money and tickets are all complete, and the other party also said that he will not ask about the source of the items, and it can guarantee your safety in the pigeon market.

After all, the bullet holes on the roe deer were so obvious that the other party probably thought Zhang Xingwang was the spokesperson for that mountain village.

Zhang Xingwang was overthinking it. Apart from the ticket scalpers not far away, no one who came to the pigeon market could afford to buy a whole roe deer. They all planned to pool together or share the purchase.

Empiricism is deadly, but even so, it is still the most handsome guy in the pigeon market.

But I have to sell the things quickly and save money quickly to find jobs for several people in my family. In the future, when there are more employees in the family, I will have a source of money.

Otherwise, even if you buy a bicycle these days, you won't be able to explain it if someone asks you about it. If someone is interested, they will find the answer right.

After a while, the Third Master came. He looked like a kind old man, holding a pipe in his hand and smiling at everyone he saw. He glanced at the roe deer, waved his hand and pointed to the empty space behind him and said:

"Hey bro, come over here and let's talk."

He gave his eldest sister a reassuring look and followed the third master.

Unexpectedly, the Third Master only asked Zhang Xingwang about his needs, stared at him and said "OK", then arranged for the manager to discuss the purchase price with Zhang Xingwang, and walked away leisurely with his pipe in hand. It is estimated that he came mainly to find out the bottom line.

The person who can control the pigeon market is definitely not a simple person. Either he has connections above him, or he fought his way to the top. No matter which one it is, he is not to be trifled with at the moment. He came to take a look probably because he was afraid that the things might be from some factory, which would cause trouble later.

It seems that everyone is not stupid, and is even more careful than him.

Then Zhang Xingwang and the manager agreed on the price, and they would charge 74 cents per pound, 37 pounds in total, for yuan. This was almost as much as Sha Zhu's monthly salary.

I asked for 20 yuan in cash and exchanged it for 10 yuan worth of food coupons and 5 yuan worth of cloth coupons. The food coupons were all kinds of things, from sugar coupons to snack coupons. The quantity was not large and the price was reasonable, basically between and cents per pound. The remaining two yuan was exchanged for second-class cigarette coupons.

It’s not that Zhang Xingwang doesn’t smoke, it’s just that the Class C cigarette coupons Wang Xiulan gave him could only buy economy cigarettes without filters, and he really couldn’t bring himself to smoke. Fortunately, the original owner didn’t have a strong smoking addiction, otherwise she would have almost suffocated.

This time, after exchanging my cigarette coupons, I must at least get a few packs of Daqianmen to smoke. Nowadays, almost all men smoke, and there is no such thing as smoking being harmful to health. Cigarettes can lead the way wherever you go. With Daqianmen, a cigarette for cadres, you can get along well when you go out.

As for high-end Zhonghua cigarettes, forget about buying them. This kind of cigarettes are currently on special supply and you can’t find them unless you have a higher grade. You can probably only find them on the black market.

The food we sign in for every day is basically enough for our family’s daily life, so we don’t need food coupons.

Cloth coupons were relatively expensive at 6 cents per foot. Although there were several textile factories in Yanjing City, the demand was so great that the supply could not keep up with the demand. I wanted to exchange more, but they only had 9 feet. I wanted to ask in advance next time, so I rounded up the amount and asked for five yuan.

I wanted to exchange some pork, but the seller said, "I want more! We don't have any right now. They're all booked in advance. There's no guarantee. It depends on luck. If you really want it, wait a few days and I'll let you know the price."

Wow, pork is in great demand. After all, it is the meat with the most fat and water, which is understandable.

But this trip was a very fruitful one. I put the money and receipts in my pocket, transferred them to the space, called the yawning elder sister next to me, and went home together.

There were no robberies or police patrols along the way.

Now I am just waiting to start the big purchase tomorrow.
