After riding their bicycles to the town, they were worried that the fish in the bag would become stale, so they went their separate ways.
Chen Dazhuang went to the market with a sack full of fish, as well as some leopard meat, hare meat, and wolf meat, while Chen Wang came to the purchasing station with a bunch of furs.
It was not appropriate for the leopard skin to be seen by others, so Chen Wang put it in a sack.
As the year draws to a close, there are more people at the purchasing station, and two long queues form in front of the counter.
Xu Meijuan was bargaining with an old farmer selling medicinal herbs.
"Comrade Xiao Xu."
Chen Wang approached and greeted him.
Xu Meijuan looked up at him and smiled, "Oh, here you go again!"
"Yes, here we are again. Is Master Wang here?"
Chen Wang asked with a smile.
Xu Meijuan glanced at the sack he was carrying and said with a smile, "You got some good stuff again. You're going to go find Master Wang directly."
Chen Wang just smiled and said nothing.
"Hey, comrade, you are talking to me about something!"
The old farmer selling medicine spoke up with some dissatisfaction.
"Then let me tell you about the price I just mentioned. Will you sell it to me? If not, forget it."
Xu Meijuan frowned slightly.
"Hey...you...we were just talking!"
"Let's not talk about it. It's not like you can't see it. The line behind you is all the way to the door. I don't have time to waste time with you. Hurry up. I see that it's not easy for you at your age. The price I'm giving you is already very high. If you don't want to sell it, just take it back!"
"this……"
The old man looked conflicted.
Seeing this, the people in the queue behind started to urge them forward in dissatisfaction.
"Sell it, I'll sell it, right?"
The old man couldn't stand it anymore and quickly agreed to sell it.
In fact, the price had long exceeded his psychological expectations, but he saw that Xu Meijuan was a young girl who was easy to talk to, so he wanted to make as much money as possible.
Xu Meijuan quickly counted the money for the goods and gave it to the old man, then waved to her colleague next to her.
"Xiao Li, please help me. This comrade is a friend of Master Wang. I will take him over."
"Oh, okay, okay."
The male colleague had just arrived and when he heard that Chen Wang was actually friends with Master Wang, he nodded in agreement immediately.
"Awang, let's go!"
Xu Meijuan came out from behind the counter and waved.
Chen Wang responded with a smile and followed with the sack on his shoulder.
Seeing this scene, people in the queue talked a lot.
"Who is this young man? Master Wang is the person in charge of this purchasing station, right? Can he go and meet him directly?"
"To be honest, I'm more curious about what's in his bag."
"He looks like a farmer like us, why is he so honored?"
"If you have valuable goods, such as bear gall and tiger skin, Master Wang will personally receive you."
"No way, do you think he has such good stuff in his bag?"
…
When I arrived at the backyard, as expected, I saw Master Wang sitting there drinking tea.
Whenever it is a sunny day, Master Wang will sit there in the sun and drink tea, feeling very comfortable.
"Master Wang, Awang is here."
Xu Meijuan shouted with a smile.
Master Wang looked up at the two of them, waved with a smile and said, "Awang, come on, let's drink tea together!"
"Okay, I'm thirsty."
Chen Wang responded with a smile, without any formalities, he walked over, put the sack aside, and sat down.
"Xiao Xu, come and have a drink too."
Master Wang poured two cups of tea and gently pushed them to the two of them.
Xu Meijuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then stared at the sack and said, "Awang, what good stuff is in here? Take it out and have a look."
In the past, when Chen Wang came to sell goods, he could directly see what the goods were.
I specially put it in this sack today to make her curious about what's inside.
"Just open it and let Xiao Xu take a look!"
Master Wang also spoke up to help.
"Can."
Chen Wang smiled and nodded, opened the sack and took out the leopard skin.
“Oh my god!”
Xu Meijuan covered her mouth and screamed.
"Is this... a leopard skin?"
Master Wang's eyes widened slightly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
"Yes, it is a complete leopard skin. I will open it and show it to you."
Chen Wang stood up and opened the leopard skin completely.
“It’s in perfect condition too!”
Master Wang nodded in shock.
"Do you accept this here?"
Chen Wang asked.
Master Wang looked at him deeply, shook his head and said, "You are not allowed to accept this."
“I see!”
Even though I was mentally prepared, I still felt a little disappointed when I heard this answer.
Xu Meijuan, who was standing next to him, rolled her eyes and said, "Awang, how about I take you to see my dad? He knows a lot of people and maybe he can help you with this treasure."
"real?"
Chen Wang was overjoyed.
Xu Meijuan nodded with a smile.
"Xiao Xu's father should have a way."
Master Wang agreed with a smile.
"Thank you then."
Chen Wang thanked Xu Meijuan gratefully.
"We are all friends, why are you talking about this?"
Xu Meijuan smiled and waved her hand.
"I have a few wolf skins, a civet skin, and a badger skin. Can you take them?"
Chen Wang looked at Master Wang with a smile.
"certainly."
Master Wang nodded and said to Xu Meijuan, "Xiao Xu, come and take a look, and then give him an offer."
"Okay!"
Xu Meijuan responded, took out a few skins from the sack one by one, looked at them, and then gave a price.
"These wolf skins are in pretty good condition. I think they can be sold for 650 yuan. The civet skin is worth 10 yuan, and the badger skin is worth 50 yuan. The total is 710 yuan."
"make a deal."
Chen Wang nodded and agreed without hesitation.
"Xiao Xu, you are really bending your elbow!"
Master Wang joked with a meaningful smile.
"No way, that's impossible. Everything is getting more expensive now. This price is very fair!"
Xu Meijuan smiled brightly and blinked.
Chen Wang smiled and drank his tea.
"Okay, okay, let's go with the price you said."
After taking a sip of tea, Master Wang agreed with a smile.
"Thank you, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Chen Wang chuckled and thanked him, extending his right hand to Master Wang.
Master Wang shook hands with him and said with a smile: "You and Xiao Xu are having a good time working together. Next time you two work together, don't let me know."
Chen Wang and Xu Meijuan couldn't help laughing when they heard this.
"Let Xiao Xu go to the front and give you the payment!"
"good!"
"Have two cups of tea before you go. Tell me how you hunt. This is a leopard and a wolf pack. It must be exciting."
Master Wang said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, tell me."
Xu Meijuan also sat down and agreed with curiosity.
"Then I'll tell you."
Chen Wang smiled and began to talk about his hunting experience the night before.
Both of them listened attentively, sometimes shocked, sometimes excited.
After the tea was finished, the story was basically finished.
Chen Wang stood up and said goodbye to Master Wang, then followed Xu Meijuan out of the yard.
