He Jinshan picked up a corner of the snot-soaked paper ball that had fallen on his shoulder with disgust, touched his cheek with it, and laughed angrily.
"Kid, are you itchy?"
Jiang Henian gave an awkward smile with his full eight teeth and took a quick step back.
"I can explain!"
"Put your hand out," He Jinshan carried the extra-large quantity of wet wontons without paying extra, and walked forward.
Jiang Henian quickly put his hands behind his back and took two steps back, "Master He, Master He, Master He, we have a life-and-death relationship!"
He Jinshan pulled his lips into an elegant smile: "It won't delay me from dealing with you."
Jiang Henian turned around and ran away, but the man who threw away the snotty tissue grabbed him by the back of his collar.
Like a chick, he was easily picked up.
"Ah—Mom, help me!!"
…
His true colors are revealed! Bad man!
How am I going to live my life from now on? I’m getting slapped on the palm…
Jiang Henian covered his little hand that was caught and slapped his palm twice, staring at He Jinshan's back, pouting, and muttering to himself.
He lowered his head again, opened his palm and looked at it carefully.
Why isn’t it popular?
The second time it hurt so much!
He Jinshan suddenly stopped and she bumped into him without noticing.
"Are you planning revenge now?" He Jinshan looked back at her with a teasing tone.
Jiang Henian immediately reached out to stroke his wrinkled clothes, blinked his big eyes, sniffed his nose, and changed the subject:
"Master He, are you still selling meat?"
Why does this sound so strange?
He Jinshan raised his eyelids slightly, turned around and pinched her cheek again, "Eat first, then sell the dirty kid."

“Braised pork!”
"Oh no no, let's have beef stew with potatoes instead!"
"Pork and sauerkraut noodles! I want some too!"
"This is mutton fried with round vegetables. What are round vegetables? Is it delicious..."
"Staple food...Staple food, can we have noodles?"
Jiang Henian sat at the wooden table, turned to look at the blackboard menu hanging on the wall, and ordered dishes like a tycoon.
The price above is really too beautiful if viewed from a modern perspective.
Beef stew with potatoes, 15 cents
Pork and sauerkraut noodles, 18 cents
Steamed buns cost five cents, plain noodles cost one dime
The two of them ordered four dishes and two staple foods, which cost only 88 cents in total, plus 600 grams of food coupons.
Jiang Henian, who was eager to treat the guests, happily took out the little money he earned and paid the bill.
The girl sat on the bench, holding her chin with her hands, waiting with anticipation, and swinging her feet with joy.
If it weren't for the slightly swollen eyelids and the red bloodshot at the upturned corners of the eyes, He Jinshan would have suspected that the crying scene twenty minutes ago that was about to collapse the Dragon King Temple was just an illusion.
He is really like a child, his emotions come and go quickly.
He was calling him Uncle He in a distant way before, but now he calls him Uncle in a friendly way.
"Uncle~"
"How much... can our meat be worth?"
Jiang Henian leaned over, covered his mouth and asked in a low voice.
He Jinshan propped up his face with one hand and tapped his fingertips on the table: "Guess."
Jiang Henian estimated it and held up two fingers. "Like this?"
…
On the edge of Wulin Town, in a dense wild forest.
There was an ox cart parked there, with several large sacks and bundles of corn stalks lying on the ground next to it.
The last pig was put into a sack and lifted onto the ox cart, which was almost full.
The two men who were in charge of carrying the load with their heads down skillfully unraveled the straw and spread it on top.
Wang Daqiang on the side clapped his hands in satisfaction, walked back, and took out a stack of money from the inner lining of his coat.
"Come on, Diandian?"
He Jinshan took it and handed it directly to Jiang Henian.
Jiang Henian stared at the money, his heart already beaming with joy, but he didn't lose face. He took it calmly and counted it carefully twice.
"Four hundred and twenty."
She looked up at He Jinshan, took out two big unity notes and two yuan, and whispered, "Twenty-two more."
On the way to the transaction, He Jinshan couldn't stand Jiang Henian's persistent questioning, so he told her the transaction price first.
The prey in her space can be sold for a total of three hundred and ninety-eight yuan.
The majority of the meat was from two wild boars. At that time, beef and mutton were not as valuable as pork.
Ordinary farmers don’t have any decent feed for their pigs, so they just eat weeds and rotten vegetables. Those with better conditions mix it with dried sweet potatoes and chaff made from chopped straw. After feeding it for more than a year, the heaviest pig will only grow to 170 or 180 kilograms.
According to the purchasing standard of 135 kilograms, it is heavy enough.
It is already very good if a live pig can be sold for seventy or eighty yuan, but most families can only complete the national "one household, one pig" purchase task and have no spare capacity to raise another pig to increase income.
Wuling Mountain is rich in resources and no one dares to go in. Wild boars grow fat freely. The small ones weigh more than 250 kilograms. Two wild boars that have just been slaughtered and not yet cut open are priced at 240 yuan.
Goats are not worth much. An adult male goat weighing more than 30 kilograms only sells for eight or nine yuan, 12 yuan on the black market, and five wild goats cost a total of 60 yuan.
The remaining deer, three roe deer, and four rabbits were sold for 198 yuan.
The total amount was 398 yuan, which made Jiang Henian so happy that he almost circled around He Jinshan in public.
Now Wang Daqiang gives him 22 yuan more, which is equivalent to a month's salary for a formal worker in the city.
If Jiang Henian didn't make a mistake, then this person had other intentions.
Wang Daqiang twirled the hair on the corner of his mouth, smiled generously and said:
"What happened this morning was due to our negligence in management, which frightened my sister-in-law. These are my apologies, and of course, they also represent our sincerity in continuing our cooperation in the future."
