Who would dare to stun a dignified cobra with electricity and then steal its venom?
The cobra, having lost its venom, quickly fled with its mouth closed.
Lin Shih-Han followed Uncle Mu to the backyard. The man who had just said that he didn't have any poisonous snakes here...
Right now, there's a row of jars in the backyard.
Lin Shih-Han looked at the jar and thought it looked so much like... an urn.
Then Uncle Mou opened a jar, took out a small net specifically for catching snakes, and caught the snake the instant it emerged.
"I really don't raise venomous snakes. These were given to me by someone to make medicinal wine."
My medicinal wine for bruises and sprains is only truly potent when soaked in these venomous snakes.
Wow, this snake is amazing, it's a banded krait!
This snake's venom is very potent. Look at this fat one; I fed it several mice today.
The venom of the banded krait is comparable to that of the cobra; I'm not exaggerating its power.
You can easily find out about this kind of snake just by asking around.
Lin Shih-Han actually knew that the venom of the silver-ringed snake was indeed quite valuable.
"Then I'll give you 30 for this one too."
This is my first time selling snake venom. If you find a good buyer in the future and the price is high, I will raise the price for you.
What do you think?
Uncle Mou seemed to think about it for a moment, and then reluctantly agreed.
"Sigh, alright, alright, since you were brought by Zhang Xiao, I'll make it thirty for the silver ring snake!"
Lin Shih-Han took out a container from her pocket to extract the snake venom.
After extracting the venom from this silver-ringed snake, the next one was from another jar.
"Hmm, this one is even more powerful. This one is called the Spotted Panchali, also known as the Golden Leopard."
"Look at its triangular head and black tail; I've never seen this kind of snake before."
Lin Shih-han remained silent.
"So, every snake in these jars of yours has a remarkable background, right?"
She laughed after she finished speaking.
"How about this, let's make each one 30."
You'll be responsible for describing the snake's name and characteristics; I'll take notes.
Uncle Mou nodded and then shook his head.
"Generally speaking, the snakes here come from quite a few places."
Ordinary venomous snakes would have already been put into the medicinal wine vat to soak in medicinal wine.
Of the remaining few, I can't bear to touch them.
The price you offered was indeed high; I'm telling the truth.
Your price is what impressed me, so I'm showing you the details.
Otherwise, I won't show it to anyone.
Doesn't this sound a bit like keeping a mistress in a golden house?
While others keep mistresses in luxury, he keeps poisonous snakes in his ashes—a perfect match.
Let's move on to the next point.
"Be careful not to get bitten by the five-step snake. Once it bites you, there's no hope of recovery within five steps."
Lin Shih-Han reached out and took it directly.
Uncle Mou was so startled that he wanted to speak, but then he saw that the snake looked just like the others.
It withered before Lin Shih-han could even touch it.
Then, half-dead, he let Lin Shih-han collect the snake venom and put him back.
After collecting the venom from the last snake, making it six venomous snakes, Lin Shih-han gave him 180 yuan.
"I hope you can get a good price for your snakes, so you can come back next month and I can extract venom from these snakes again."
Lin Shih-Han smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I'll try my best to sell these snake venoms for a good price."
Come back then, but please don't raise my price.
Uncle Mou waved his hand.
"No, no, we should be kind and honest. I'm not the kind of person who would try to raise prices on the spot."
Then, looking at the money in his hand, he sighed.
"This money is so easy to earn!"
I can't earn that much money from my medicinal wines all year round.
"Girl, do a good job. I may not have any more here in the future, but I promise to take good care of these few."
Lin Shih-Han smiled and nodded, then left with Zhang Xiao.
Throughout the journey, Zhang Xiao hesitated to speak.
Lin Shih-Han thought he wanted to bring up money but was too embarrassed to say it.
She counted out 120 yuan from her pocket and handed it to him.
"You deserve it."
Zhang Xiao quickly waved his hand when he saw the money she handed him.
"No, no, that's too much."
I can't take that much money from you.
Lin Shih-han silently stuffed the money into his hand.
"That's not much. I wasn't kidding when I said a snake venom costs 50 yuan."
I charged 50 yuan for a snake venom, deducting 30 yuan from Uncle Mou's price.
You only have 20 left.
If you catch a venomous snake yourself and bring it to me, and I collect the venom, then I'll give you 50.
I can only give you 20, that's just a referral fee.
We'll tell you that if we work with her, we'll never suffer a loss.
Zhang Xiao still felt that the 120 yuan in his hand was too much.
There was so much to it. He didn't do anything; he just led her the way.
That's equivalent to three or four months' salary for him.
"You're being too extravagant. Just give me 10 yuan, and you can take this 110 back."
Lin Shih-Han leaned back and looked up at him.
"You don't want money? You're either stupid or you want more."
"Not enough?"
Zhang Xiao quickly offered an explanation.
"It's not that I think it's too little, I just feel that you've given me too much."
Lin Shih-Han waved her hand.
"I'm a very fair person. If I give it to you, take it. If you don't want it, it means you think it's not enough."
Zhang Xiao was helpless; it wasn't that he thought it was too little. Since Lin Shihhan had said so, he had no choice but to accept it.
"Alright then, I'll keep it."
Are you sure you can sell all this snake venom?
"You'll lose money if you can't sell them later."
"You don't need to worry about me. Do I look like a fool to you?"
