Yan Xiaoqiang grabbed the rope of the cart and carried it on his back, pulling forward with all his might. He pushed from behind, while the north, south, and southwest were pushing. The cart was very heavy, and after only a few steps, his clothes were soaked through, and sweat dripped down like a tap that could not be turned off.
Yan Xiaonan put her hands on the cart and began to push hard. Yan Xiaoqiang, who was pulling the cart, felt the cart become lighter and started to speed up. Bei Nan and Xin Nan on both sides also felt the relief. They knew that it was their sister who was putting in the effort.
They had already experienced Yan Xiaonan's superhuman strength by pulling up sweet potatoes and harvesting wheat, so they weren't surprised now. However, Southwest still told Yan Xiaonan to take it easy, as there were still so many carts to go.
Yan Xiaonan nodded and slightly reduced his strength. Yan Xiaoqiang also started walking forward at a normal pace. But Village Chief Ma was anxious and shouted loudly for everyone to speed up, because the first village to hand over the grain would receive a reward.
Yan Xiaoqiang's cart was originally in the lead, but now it had fallen behind the others. Village Chief Ma excitedly shouted, "Qiangzi, can you go any faster? Just one of us can get there first."
Yan Xiaoqiang glanced back at his daughter, Yan Xiaonan nodded, "It's so hot, let's hurry to the grain station and finish delivering the grain as soon as possible."
Yan Xiaonan pushed hard, and Bei Nan and Xinan felt their hands loosen. Yan Xiaoqiang even had to take a few quick steps to catch his breath after suddenly losing his footing.
Seeing Yan Xiaoqiang's cart start to speed up, the village chief behind him beamed with joy, while the villagers behind him trembled with fear. The Yan family were all known for their strength, and no one dared to mess with them.
As expected, Mushroom Village was the first to arrive at the grain station. The inspector began registering the goods, and it took almost fifteen minutes for the rest of the group to arrive.
While no one was paying attention, Bei Nan secretly pulled two burlap sacks from under the cart and quietly left. Of course, Yan Xiaonan helped cover for him.
Since Maotou returned, Bei Nan and Ye Chenming have been going hunting in the mountains whenever they have time. Bei Nan knows that Zhong Nan is in the mountains, so every time he enters the mountains, he calls out to Zhong Nan first. Only after Zhong Nan responds with his howls do he dare to bring Ye Chenming into the mountains.
Ye Chenming was extremely surprised that a human could communicate with a wolf. Bei Nan told him that Zhong Nan was a wolf that grew up in his home and had the best relationship with Nan Nan. The wolfhound in the house was Zhong Nan's son, and Nan Nan called him Zhongzi.
Ye Chenming smiled. What an adorable little girl.
Ye Chenming started to think. Hunting can't be done empty-handed; you have to use the right tools.
After several trials, Ye Chenming devised a trap for pheasants and rabbits. With just a few pieces of wood and rope, cleverly intertwined and arranged, any pheasant or rabbit that passed by would have one of its feet caught in the rope.
Using this method, the two of them basically made a profit every day, and then they would happily go to the black market to exchange it for money. Ye Chenming would also exchange it for some white rice and pork, since he and Ye Chen'er were still in the developmental stage and needed to eat their fill.
When Yan Xiaonan found out, she told Bei Nan that if it was wild game, she should go to the state-run canteen and find Chef Pang. Bei Nan was extremely surprised: "Nan Nan, how do you know which Chef Pang to look for?"
Yan Xiaonan looked at Bei Nan with a headache and said, "Don't ask so many questions. Just say you are Qiangzi's son."
Bei Nan realized that his seemingly serious father had been doing this for a long time, and he must be following in his father's footsteps.
Delivering directly to the state-run canteen is much safer than selling it on the black market, so Bei Nan sent Ye Chenming to the black market to tinker with other things while he went to the state-run canteen.
Since the Yan family's life improved, Yan Xiaoqiang hadn't delivered any wild game for a very long time. The fat chef was missing it terribly when the waiter came in: "Fat chef, a child has come to see you. He says he's Qiangzi's son."
The fat man was overjoyed and quickly ran out. He immediately saw Bei Nan carrying two sacks on his back. This guy looked quite like his father.
He quickly grabbed Bei Nan's hand and ran to the kitchen. Once there, he eagerly opened the sack. Good heavens, there were three pheasants, five rabbits, and a huge pile of chestnuts and wood ear mushrooms.
"I'll give you thirty-two yuan for the wild rabbit and pheasant, and three yuan for the chestnuts and wood ear mushrooms, that's thirty-five yuan in total. How about it, young man, want to trade?" The fat man offered a high price without hesitation.
After calculating, Bei Nan realized the price was slightly higher than the black market price by half a percent, so of course he would exchange it; only a fool wouldn't: "Master Fatty, I'll exchange it, but could you please not tell my dad?"
Upon hearing this, the portly man realized that he had been doing this behind the adults' backs: "Can you guarantee your safety?"
It's not safe up in the mountains. I saw with my own eyes Qiangzi fighting with wolves for a wild boar.
If Yan Xiaoqiang knew about Fatty's misinterpretation, he would laugh until his stomach hurt. It was clearly the wolves helping to hunt the wild boar, but how did it become the wolves stealing the wild boar from him? Zhongnan would be furious.
"I can guarantee it, I know the mountain like the back of my hand." Bei Nan quickly assured him, with Zhong Nan there, what was there to be afraid of?
Like father, like son. The father is good, so the son must be good too. Master Pang agreed and even promised to buy all the wild game whenever possible.
Bei Nan was overjoyed after receiving the money. This was the simplest and fastest deal he had made in recent days. Wait, simple and fast—the idea flashed through his mind, but unfortunately, he couldn't quite grasp it.
Ye Chenming also had a good day in the black market. Mao Tou told him that there was cotton available today, cotton that was hard to come by even if you had money. Ye Chenming did not hesitate to put all the money he had on him into the cotton, and even regretted that he had not brought enough money today.
The cotton was sold to Ye Chenming for 40 cents a pound. Ye Chenming had enough money to buy 300 pounds. Maotou was stunned. How could he sell so much cotton?
Ye Chenming smiled and told Maotou to watch the cotton. He then went to a corner of the black market and whispered a few words to someone. The person followed Ye Chenming over, examined the cotton carefully, and readily took out money.
Ye Chenming counted out eighteen ten-yuan bills. He took the money and counted it again. It was one hundred and eighty yuan, not a penny less. Mao Tou stared blankly as the man carried the cotton away on a shoulder pole, unable to utter a single word.
From the moment Ye Chenming bought the cotton to the moment he sold it, it was only half an hour, and he had already earned sixty yuan. Looking at the twenty yuan in his hand, Maotou understood why his cousin had told him and Bei Nan to learn from this.
A business idea popped into Mao Tou's mind: buying and selling. He had finally seen what buying and selling meant today. So, was his cousin's business even bigger?
When Bei Nan arrived, the deal was already done. Ye Chenming told Mao Tou to get some more rice, pork, sugar, and pastries. Money is meant to be spent; otherwise, what's the point of making money?
