“Bang!”
The stone flew out a beautiful arc,
Accurately hit the pheasant's head.
“Cluck…”
The pheasant let out a mournful cry and fell to the ground with a thud.
"It's over!"
Chen Jianan waved his fist fiercely.
He succeeded in his first hunting trip, which gave him strong confidence.
He hurried forward and picked up the pheasant.
It was discovered that the pheasant had just fainted but was not dead.
He took out the hatchet from his waist and wiped it along the pheasant's neck.
Then drain the blood.
This makes it easier to preserve.
After finishing the pheasant, he held his breath again and squatted down.
The whole person seems to be integrated with the environment.
Half an hour later.
He had already killed two pheasants.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes.
Because he found the third pheasant, a female pheasant.
Chen Jianan was more careful this time and approached quietly.
“Bang!”
A few feathers flew in the sky.
One shot, soul!
Chen Jianan put down the slingshot.
Walk past quickly.
Female pheasants are smaller than male pheasants, but are more nutritious and can be sold at a higher price.
This also means that it can be sold for more money.
More importantly, if there is an old hen, there are probably eggs nearby!
Chen Jianan cleaned the pheasant and put it into a sack and started looking for it immediately.
Soon, he found a chicken coop hidden in the grass.
Hurry up and walk over the grass and push aside the bushes.
“There are real eggs!”
Chen Jianan couldn't contain his surprise.
This is a piece of shit!
Count them quickly.
"One, two... six."
Six eggs!
Chen Jianan picked up a hot pheasant egg and felt excited.
I squatted on the ground and weaved a straw basket. I was putting all the eggs in it so that they wouldn't be squeezed and crushed.
After shooting three pheasants in a row, all the nearby animals had been scared away and it was time to leave.
He walked out of the wasteland carrying a sack on his back and hid the eggs and a pheasant under a big willow tree.
Then he took the remaining two pheasants and walked along the dirt road out of the village.
He wanted to quickly take the pheasants to town to sell for money.
Buy some things that are urgently needed at home.
Xiaoheyan Village is about ten kilometers away from Hongqi Commune and there is no bus.
Chen Jianan was already in poor health, and he had consumed a lot of energy hunting in the morning.
It was already noon when we reached the town where the commune was located.
There is a river outside the town, and a large village has spontaneously formed along the river bank.
There were large livestock such as mules, horses, cattle and sheep for sale; there were poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese for sale; there were grains for sale; supplementary foods such as eggs, duck eggs, soybean oil, etc.; there were also sundries such as needles, thread, gold-making tools, etc.
Hongqi Town is the largest town in Huangyuan County, with a large population. There are also military reclamation troops stationed nearby, so the demand is very strong.
Although the current policy is strict and does not allow business.
But the leaders turned a blind eye to this primitive form of rural market.
After all, people have to live.
Chen Jianan thought about it carefully last night. Judging from the time, the great man should have come out and taken charge of the country.
The dawn of reform and opening up is just around the corner.
As long as you get through the difficult days ahead, your future will be smooth.
As for how it will develop now,
He set his sights on the wasteland.
"As long as we plan ahead and contract the wasteland when the household contract responsibility system is implemented, there will be huge potential for growing crops or raising livestock. What's more, the wasteland is an excellent raw material for paper mills."
"If I want to contract the wasteland, I have to have influence in the village. At most, I can become the village chief..."
Chen Jianan knew this was difficult.
But this is man-made.
My greatest advantage is rebirth.
Not only does he understand the weaknesses of the current village chief Zhou Huanghe, he also knows many opportunities to take advantage of him.
After taking a rest, Chen Jianan walked around the lake several times and observed it carefully.
Finally I found the place where the poultry was being sold, squatted down and opened the sack.
Under the sunlight, the beautiful colors of the pheasant's feathers immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, what is that?"
Someone asked curiously.
"I am not seeing things, it is actually a pheasant!"
"Yes, one of them is a hen that is more than two years old."
"Pheasants are much more nutritious than domesticated chickens. Eating them is very nourishing..."
"I haven't seen pheasants in the market for a long time!"
Many people started talking and gathered around.
But an old man next to him was unhappy.
He also came to set up a stall to sell chickens.
But the chickens he raised were too thin. He waited from morning till dawn and his throat was hoarse from shouting, but no one bought them!
Chen Jianan attracted so many people as soon as he arrived that he immediately became jealous.
The old man's eyes rolled when he saw Chen Jianan's obviously immature face.
"Boy, I'll give you ten kilograms of cornmeal in exchange for two pheasants, how about that?"
The old man pretended to be kind and walked up to him.
"Stand aside."
Chen Jianan spat out three words coldly.
He was from the reconnaissance squad and had already discovered that the old man was the one next to him.
"Hey, kid, what are you talking about?"
The old man originally thought that Chen Jianan was young and wanted to take advantage of him.
Who would have thought that he would be confronted directly? He was so angry that he was fuming.
"What should I say? Haha, let everyone judge for themselves."
"This male pheasant weighs four kilograms. This old hen must be more than two years old. It is as nutritious as ginseng."
"You want to exchange ten kilograms of cornmeal, isn't that bullying?"
"Do I need to be polite to someone like you who is disrespectful to the elderly?"
Chen Jianan was taking this opportunity to promote his own pheasant.
"That's right, old man, you just want to take advantage of the young man because he is young."
An old lady next to her scolded.
"Yeah, don't you see how precious their pheasants are? Ten kilograms of corn can't even buy a chicken foot!"
"You are bullying me because I am young!"
Chen Jianan has thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he is a little thin, he is very handsome.
On the other hand, the old man looks ugly and looks like a wily old man.
"No wonder no one buys your chickens. You are a bad person and your chickens are poorly raised! Get out of here!"
The people nearby were talking to each other, and the old man's face turned red.
Seeing that he had angered everyone, he had no choice but to return to his stall in shame, pack up his things and run away.
"Young man, I just spoke for you. I'll exchange these two pheasants for thirty kilograms of cornmeal. How about that?"
The aunt's face was all smiles.
"Who didn't speak up for the young man? Don't use this as an excuse!"
"I'll give you 40 kilograms of cornmeal, plus 1 kilogram of food coupons!"
A middle-aged woman raised her voice.
Food stamps were very important in this era.
For example, if you want to eat at a restaurant, they won’t sell you food if you don’t have a food coupon.
Residents with urban household registration have a great demand for food coupons.
One pound of food coupons could be exchanged for at least ten pounds of cornmeal on the black market.
"Young man, I'll give you sixty kilograms of cornmeal!"
Another woman looked at the two pheasants carefully. She liked them more and more and couldn't help shouting.
Seeing the price getting higher and higher, Chen Jianan was secretly happy, but he remained calm on the surface, waiting for others to make an offer.
When someone offered a price of one hundred kilograms of cornmeal, the crowd finally quieted down.
Although everyone knows that pheasant is nutritious, we all have to make a living.
Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Jianan was about to shout "Hand in hand".
A young female voice suddenly sounded.
"I'll give you ten pounds of cornmeal and ten dollars!"
