Chapter 71 Rookies pecking each other

No one said anything for a while, and the atmosphere gradually became awkward. Zhang Xingwang broke the silence reluctantly and said tentatively:

"A whole one? Even with the skin and bones, 4 cents per pound? It's going to be very troublesome for me to send this out."

The old man originally wanted to raise the price, but when he saw the smiling face on the man's face, he didn't want to say anything anymore.

He sighed, feeling very tired. He looked at the woman and said helplessly:

"That's the price. We also want some food coupons. Do you have any?"

"There are coarse grains, but as I said, they can only be given once you get out of the mountains."

"Nonsense, can your family eat fine grains?"

In this way, the four of them began to discuss the specific operational procedures of the transaction.

But the problem is that Zhang Xingwang can't really carry the prey down the mountain. If the villagers see it, all his efforts will be in vain. It seems that he will have to leave the village and go into the mountain from somewhere else next time.

Finally, a plan was discussed. The two parties would trade within one hour after Zhang Xingwang went back to get the money. The location would be at the foot of the mountain, and the specific location would be chosen by Zhang Xingwang.

After he finished speaking, the old man took out a wild sheep from the tree behind him, picked it up with one hand and weighed it, and said it was no more than 70 kilograms, so he calculated it as 70 kilograms, since there was no way to weigh it anyway.

Zhang Xingwang thought it was about the same, so he agreed. Seeing the three of them exchange glances, the old man stepped forward and said with a wry smile:

"Do you want a wild boar?"

"Yes, I want any prey."

"Wild boar meat can't be only 40 cents."

Then the old man began to argue, saying a lot about how pork was delicious, had little mutton smell, and had a lot of fat.

Zhang Xingwang saw that the old man was quite shrewd, so he said a few words about how difficult it was to transport it out and how difficult it was to manage it, and then asked:

"How much do you want to sell it for?"

The old man looked at Zhang Xingwang and said firmly:

"If it's less than 60 cents, we'd rather give it to the village."

"50 cents, I can't afford more."

He thought to himself that after all, it was only one dollar given to him by the manager, so sixty cents would be fine, but he would try to bargain it down a bit, and if that didn't work, he could try to get it back.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old man immediately nodded in agreement, then raised his eyebrows at the couple and showed a smug smile.

Although she didn't say anything, her expression was already arrogant, and her meaning was obvious: You still have to look up to me, an old man, you two are still young! At the same time, she also received the admiring gazes of the couple.

This wave was also a fight between the rookies Zhang Xingwang and the old man.

Zhang Xingwang looked at this smart guy and felt like his lungs were about to explode. Is it really okay for you to be so obvious? Then he thought that he was not much better and it seemed that he really had no talent for business.

This further confirmed that it was true that they had not sold any prey for a long time, and if they needed to use their connections to transport the prey for sale, this price was reasonable.

Then the man turned around and ran away impatiently. Not long after, he came back with a wild boar on his back. Without even catching his breath, he said with a big smile on his face:

"We estimated that this one weighs at least 180 kilograms. Please calculate the price."

Zhang Xingwang looked at it and said nothing. He calculated in his mind and said: 28 yuan for wild sheep, 108 yuan for wild boar, a total of 136 yuan.

After hearing this, the three of them had smiles on their faces that were harder to suppress than AK. They pretended to calculate and said there was no problem.

Zhang Xingwang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after seeing this wave of operations.

After telling the transaction location, Zhang Xingwang went down the mountain and pretended to get the money. After a while, he arrived at the agreed place.

This is a hidden area formed by two large rocks, which just hide the view from the mountain. There are also many rocks blocking the road and they are far apart, which are all excellent hiding places.

It can effectively avoid ambushes on the mountain. Although these three people do not look like vicious people, we should still be on guard against them.

The woman was already waiting for him with the prey. The two men on the mountain probably saw that Zhang Xingwang was the only one coming, so they did not show up.

After they met, Zhang Xingwang directly took out 120 yuan and loose bills worth 16 yuan and placed them between the two of them. The woman was very excited to see that he really brought so much money and bills.

Without counting, he stuffed them into his arms in a panic, pointed at the prey, turned around with a look of joy and ran up the mountain in a flash, the whole process took no more than 20 seconds. Zhang Xingwang was stunned.

All the emergency plans and excuses I prepared were wasted. I complained in my heart that this was too hasty.

How come it's different from what's shown on TV, there's no sense of ceremony at all. And they don't have any defense against him at all, who are they looking down on?

Staring at the prey in hand, he sorted out the four wild boars of different sizes and miscellaneous things in the space, and felt a headache.

I was busy shopping, but ended up running out of space. I put away the wild boar on the ground, carefully observed it, and vaguely saw the three people on the mountain talking about something.

It seemed that they really didn't take him seriously, and there was no danger, but Master Zhang, who valued his life, still picked up the wild sheep that he couldn't fit in the pack while cursing.

I carefully used the terrain and sneaked down the mountain. Just as I reached the roadside, I heard footsteps behind me. I looked and saw that the old man had followed me down the mountain.

But this time he was traveling lightly, without a gun, and it seemed that he had gained a little trust. The old man came up to him, gave him a stiff, flattering smile, and asked:

"Brother, will you collect prey in the future?"

"Yes, how do we contact each other?"

In fact, Zhang Xingwang just wanted to say this, but the woman didn't give him any chance.

The two then agreed on contact information and location, and with the old man's farewell, Zhang Xingwang carried the wild sheep back.

It was only around three or four in the afternoon, and the workers hadn't finished work yet. Zhang Xingwang carried the sheep to the old man's house first.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw his mother and little sister, obviously waiting for him. He instantly felt like a pillar of the family and was about to say a few words from the bottom of his heart.

The little sister rushed over and drooled at the sight of the sheep, completely ruining the atmosphere.

Mother Wang Xiulan just looked at him and smiled gently, came over and took the wild sheep on his back with one hand, pulled the little girl with the other hand, turned and went into the yard, leaving Zhang Xingwang completely dumbfounded.

It turns out that I was the clown. But when I thought about the 70-pound wild sheep, although it was not so easy to lift it with one hand, I could still lift it with difficulty.

I followed her into the yard with my head lowered, and comforted myself by the way. After all, my mother was a fitter, and although she didn't have any skills, it was normal for her to have some strength.

When they entered the yard, the old couple were looking at Zhang Xingwang eagerly. The last time he came back, he specifically told the old couple that the old man should not go to work in the future.

He was responsible for the family's food, clothing and daily expenses. The old couple were old and they just wanted to enjoy themselves at home. However, the old man disagreed, saying that he was still able to work and it was not appropriate for him to stay at home.

Finally, under Zhang Xingwang's strong request, he compromised halfway, and from then on he only went out to work every morning.

The old lady came over quickly and looked at her grandson carefully. Seeing that he was indeed safe and sound, she smiled and asked:

"Nothing wrong, right?"

"No, everything went well. They even gave me a wild sheep as a gift."

Grandpa walked up to the wild goat that Wang Xiulan had just put down, and said with a little distress:

"We can't eat it ourselves if you bring it back. We have to find Uncle Yougen!"

Zhang Xingwang said indifferently:

"No, I don't have the ability to take it back to the city, so I'll just give it to the village as a snack."

After listening to this, the old man nodded and reluctantly went to find Uncle Yougen, but Zhang Xingwang knew it.

When the time comes, the old man will not have this expression. He will definitely be showing off, saying things like "my grandson is a capable person and you are benefiting from him" and so on.
