Sheng Xiping and the others couldn't outmaneuver the others, so they could only follow behind and wait in line.
There were quite a few people coming and going at the purchasing station, and among them were a few whose clothes and appearance didn't suggest they were mountain runners.
These people seemed to be casually weaving through the crowd, occasionally glancing at the bags and baskets carried by others.
Alternatively, you could go closer to the counter and see what the mountain runners were selling.
Most people are too busy queuing to sell their goods to look down at their packages or baskets, or they stand on their tiptoes and look up to see how many people are ahead. So few people pay attention to their surroundings.
Sheng Xiping and the others were in the back of the line, while there were many people in front of them. They weren't in a hurry, so they just stood there looking around.
Sure enough, Sheng Xiping spotted a familiar figure in the crowd. He quickly turned his head away, no longer looking in that direction.
The other person seemed to notice that someone was looking at him, so he glanced towards the back of the line and saw a figure that he hated to the core.
"Damn, this kid's got guts, he actually dared to come here."
The man gritted his teeth and reached down to touch his left rib, where he could still feel the intense pain.
"If I don't spare your life today, I'm not going to stay in this area anymore."
The man muttered to himself and then made a gesture to his companion not far away.
His companion understood, nodded, and immediately left the purchasing station.
The remaining two continued to wander around, but their eyes remained fixed on Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping stood there in line, unhurried and at ease.
After a long time, it was the turn of Liu Yujiang and his brother.
The two men brought out quite a few pelts, including fox, grey, and otter pelts, but the most valuable were two mink pelts.
In addition, there were three bear gallbladders, two otter livers, and one deer penis.
Two of those bear gallbladders were obtained by Sheng Xiping from two brown bears when he went to kill Di Cangzi before the New Year.
Brown bear bile is not as expensive as black bear bile, but it is heavier, so overall it is quite valuable.
When these items were taken out, many people around gasped in surprise.
People who frequently go hunting in the mountains have a keen eye; they can roughly guess how much these things are worth with just a quick glance.
As soon as the staff behind the counter saw these items, they immediately called Director Zhang out.
Director Zhang glanced at the items on the counter before looking up at the person opposite him. Upon seeing that the person was unfamiliar, he sighed slightly.
Next, Director Zhang and another colleague began inspecting the goods and quoting prices based on their quality.
The purchasing station has rules and regulations, and Director Zhang always acts in accordance with them and would not deliberately suppress prices.
Liu Yujiang and his brother are old hands at running up the mountains, but they used to spend most of their time selling goods at the purchasing station in Songjianghe, and rarely came to the county.
The price offered by Director Zhang was higher than that of Songjianghe, and the two brothers happily agreed upon hearing it.
In the end, the two brothers made a total of over 3,200 yuan.
When Director Zhang announced the total, many people at the purchasing station gasped in shock.
Some people sighed inwardly, thinking that these two obviously didn't have much experience. How could they be so careless as to start selling goods?
Don't flaunt your wealth. This is a lot of money, it's really worth robbing. What if something goes wrong and the money is gone?
The Liu brothers didn't care at all; they got the receipts on one side and collected the money on the other.
Three bundles and twenty brand-new Gaga tickets were stuffed directly into the bag containing their belongings. The two brothers then rolled up the bag and tucked it under their armpits before turning around and walking out.
There was one person between Liu Yujiang and his brother, Sheng Xiping, and Chen Weiguo. At this moment, that person went forward to sell goods, which made way for Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping covered his mouth and coughed lightly, then winked at someone to the side.
Liu Yujiang nodded in understanding, and the two brothers quickly left the purchasing station.
The person in front of Sheng Xiping didn't have much stuff, so he quickly finished settling his bill, took his money, and left.
Sheng Xiping stepped forward, stood next to the counter, and smiled at Director Zhang next to him, "Director Zhang, it's been a long time."
Director Zhang was about to turn around and go back to his office when he heard someone calling him, so he immediately turned around to check.
Upon seeing this, Director Zhang smiled and said, "Comrade Xiao Sheng, it's you! It's been quite a while since I've seen you."
"That man just took a lot of things, like hides and bear gallbladders. I thought it was you."
Sheng Xiping put the two backpacks on the counter. "I've been so busy that I haven't had time to come to the county town to stroll around."
"I finally had some free time, so I brought all the stuff I'd saved up at home. Director Zhang, could you take a look and give me a price?"
"Come on, come on, follow me to the back, we'll talk there."
Director Zhang could tell from the sight of the two backpacks being bulging that there must be a lot of stuff inside.
Based on Director Zhang's understanding of Sheng Xiping, this young man never buys anything of poor quality; these two large bags are probably worth a lot of money.
As usual, Director Zhang immediately ushered Sheng Xiping to the back.
Sheng Xiping nodded, picked up his two backpacks, and followed Director Zhang to the back.
The two men who had slipped out of the purchasing station earlier, the tall, thin one immediately turned around and left, leaving only one to guard the area.
Chen Weiguo did not follow Sheng Xiping to the back; instead, he turned around and left the purchasing station as well.
In Director Zhang's office, Sheng Xiping took out everything he had brought.
Two mink pelts, three lynx pelts, a pair of deer antlers, five bear gallbladders of various sizes, two musk deer shells, and many other items including wolf pelts, badger pelts, raccoon pelts, deer hides, deer penises, and grey fur.
