"If you do business with the military, they're all soldiers. They won't take anything extra from you, and they'll even pay you more. If you can mass-produce meat and expand your business with the military, you'll be rich!"
As Old Yuantou spoke, a gleam in his eyes.
Chen Changyuan's mind moved. Can it produce meat? This is a direction worth considering.
As he was speaking, the sentry came out with a man dressed as a squad leader.
The squad leader was in his thirties, with a burly build, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked like a straightforward person.
"Old comrade, this is..." The squad leader walked up to the old leader and saluted.
"This is my nephew, Chen Changyuan." Old Yuantou quickly introduced him.
"Hello, comrades. I am Zhao Yong, the squad leader of the third squad. Thank you both for your support of our military region. It is our honor!"
As Zhao Yong spoke, he shook hands with Lao Yuantou and Chen Changyuan respectively.
He walked to the carriage, lifted the cloth covering it, looked carefully at the bear meat and venison, nodded, and said:
"Yes, they are all good things! Three hundred yuan for this meat and a ten-jin rice coupon, is that okay?"
Lao Yuantou and Chen Changyuan looked at each other and laughed.
This price is even higher than they expected!
"Great! That's great!" Old Yuantou couldn't stop smiling.
"That's good!"
Zhao Yong also smiled, turned around and said to the sentry, "Xiao Li, quickly move the things in!"
The sentry responded and quickly moved the bear meat and venison into the military compound.
Zhao Yong pulled out three brand new Great Unity coupons from his pocket, and then took out a food coupon and handed it to Lao Yuantou: "Old comrade, please keep this."
Lao Yuantou took the money and food coupons, handed them to Chen Changyuan carefully, and smiled broadly.
Just as the two were about to leave, Zhao Yong suddenly called out, "Comrades, please stay!"
Lao Yuantou and Chen Changyuan stopped and looked at Zhao Yong in confusion.
"That's right,"
Zhao Yong rubbed his hands and said a little embarrassedly, "We've been training more intensely lately, and we've been using a lot of meat. I wonder if you two comrades can provide us with some game in the future?"
When the old man heard this, his eyes lit up and he said quickly:
"Yes! Of course! As long as there is one, I will definitely give it to you first!"
Zhao Yong was overjoyed: "That's great! But the price of this game..."
"The price is negotiable, the price is negotiable!" the old man said quickly, "It's all for the sake of defending our country!"
"Old comrade, you misunderstood,"
Zhao Yong quickly explained, "What I mean is that if the quantity is large, the price can be higher."
Lao Yuantou and Chen Changyuan were both stunned. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?
Zhao Yong saw the doubts in their eyes and explained:
"Well, the meat market is in short supply right now, and the price is high. Wild game, on the other hand, is relatively cheaper and has higher nutritional value. So, if you two can provide us with wild game on a long-term and stable basis, we're willing to pay a higher price."
Lao Yuantou and Chen Changyuan looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
This is simply a blessing from heaven!
"Sergeant Zhao, don't worry, as long as we can get it, we will give you priority!" Chen Changyuan patted his chest and promised.
"Okay! It's settled then!" Zhao Yong happily stretched out his hand and shook hands tightly with Chen Changyuan.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Yong, Lao Yuantou and Chen Changyuan drove the carriage back happily.
As the two were talking, Zhao Yong suddenly caught up with them from behind.
"Comrades, please stay!"
Lao Yuantou and Chen Changyuan stopped the carriage and looked at Zhao Yong in confusion.
"It's like this," Zhao Yong said in a low voice as he walked over to the carriage. "Please keep this matter confidential, comrades, and don't spread it outside."
Lao Yuantou and Chen Changyuan looked at each other and immediately understood what Zhao Yong meant.
The supply of meat in the market is tight now. If others knew that they could get wild game, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
"Sergeant Zhao, don't worry, we will never tell anyone!" Lao Yuantou quickly assured.
"That's good," Zhao Yong nodded. "One more thing. Next time, if you two comrades have any more game, you can send it directly to our military district instead of going to the market. I'll send someone to meet you at the door."
"This...how can I feel embarrassed?" Old Yuantou was a little flattered.
"Old comrade, please don't be so polite," Zhao Yong said with a smile, "This will save you from running back and forth, and it will be safer."
"Okay, then I'll listen to Squad Leader Zhao!" Lao Yuantou agreed happily.
"Then it's settled," Zhao Yong took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Chen Changyuan. "This is the address of our military district. Next time you come, send me a message in advance so I can arrange for someone to pick you up."
Chen Changyuan took the note and put it away carefully.
"Squad Leader Zhao, don't worry, I will definitely bring you a letter next time!"
"Okay, that's it, take care, comrades!"
Zhao Yong watched the carriage go away with a satisfied smile on his face.
After leaving the military compound, the smile on Lao Yuantou's face never faded. From time to time, he would touch the inner pocket containing money and food coupons, as if he was afraid that they would grow wings and fly away.
Chen Changyuan was also in a good mood. He had gained a lot from this trip to the city.
Look at the sun, it's not even noon yet.
"Uncle, it's still early. Let's go to the state-owned restaurant for a drink? I'll treat you!" Chen Changyuan suggested. He had never had a proper drink since his rebirth.
When Lao Yuantou heard this, his eyes lit up. He was also craving for wine. He had been living in the mountains for the past few days and had been craving something hot. "Okay! Let's go!"
