Chapter 203: Money is the courage of a person, musk sells for money
After Wang Zhou finished talking about his side, Lin Heng went to the wall to meet Uncle Gao, who was exercising in the yard at the moment. When he saw Lin Heng coming in, he immediately smiled and said, "Come and exercise together."
"good."
Lin Heng did not refuse and chatted with Grandpa Gao while exercising.
"Have you been into the mountains these days?" Grandpa Gao asked with a smile.
Lin Heng smiled and shook his head: "No, I guess I don't have much time to go into the mountains."
Grandpa Gao nodded and said, "Then you can go and have a look around Hongfeng Mountain. Maybe there are antelopes running down there."
He still had some obsession with the antelope.
Lin Heng nodded: "I'm paying attention."
He actually wanted to shoot a takin, but this thing really depends on luck, and its tracks are too strange and unpredictable.
He didn't want to go to the mountain again for the time being. It was too cold and his hands were about to freeze.
After chatting for a while, he said goodbye and left, going to Huangtan Town Middle School.
Naturally, he went to school not to look for Caiyun, but to look for his former teacher Guo Xu.
When Lin Heng arrived at the school, Guo Xu was not in class and was writing lesson plans in the office.
Guo Xu was very happy to see Lin Heng. He smiled and said, "I thought you had forgotten me. You didn't come to play with me for such a long time."
Lin Heng grinned and said, "Sorry, teacher, I'm too busy this year and I really don't have time."
Guo Xu smiled and patted Lin Heng on the shoulder, saying nonchalantly, "No need to explain, I've read the newspaper, you're good, very good."
Lin Heng became the youngest millionaire in Huangtan Town and was reported in the newspapers. Not only was he shocked, but the whole school was shocked. For this, Lin Heng was commended at the school assembly.
As Guo Xu had come into contact with Lin Heng half a year ago, he was much more shocked than most people.
He originally thought that Lin Heng was just a decent student who knew how to hunt for a living, and thought that if he worked hard he could make a little money. However, he never expected that in just half a year this person would become a millionaire.
It's not that he had never seen 10,000 yuan before, but it was really shocking that he went from an ordinary farmer to a millionaire all of a sudden.
In this era, becoming a millionaire can be said to have crossed the class line.
"Teacher, don't believe what the newspaper says, it's all exaggerated." Lin Heng said modestly.
Guo Xu poured Lin Heng a cup of tea and said with a smile: "Don't be modest. This is a great thing in itself. It brings honor to our school."
Lin Heng looked at the white enamel teacup with the images of worker and peasant heroes printed on it in his hand, took a sip of tea and started chatting with Guo Xu with a smile.
It was different from half a year ago. At that time, in Guo Xu's eyes, Lin Heng was still a student and a farmer. Their status were not equal. Guo Xu felt like he was giving alms to Lin Heng, and Lin Heng himself also kept a very humble attitude.
Now, when they chat, he can clearly feel that their relationship is equal. Guo Xu is pleased and really regards him as a friend.
After reminiscing about the past for a while, Lin Heng got straight to the point and said, "Teacher Guo, I actually have another thing I want to trouble you with today."
Guo Xu glanced at Lin Heng and said with a smile: "You tell me, as long as I can do it, I promise I won't refuse."
Lin Heng took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "It's like this, I accidentally dug up a century-old mountain ginseng in the mountains, and its age is at least 140 years. This thing is too expensive and most people can't afford it. I want you to help find out if there is anyone willing to buy it."
Although a hundred-year-old ginseng would be worth millions in twenty years to come, in his opinion it would not be as useful as ten thousand now.
Ten thousand yuan nowadays can easily buy a large courtyard in a first-tier city, and in the future, it will cost hundreds of millions or even tens of millions to demolish it.
So after comprehensive consideration, there was no need to keep this ginseng. The market was about to recover in 1987, and he needed original capital.
“Puff…cough cough…cough cough…”
Guo Xu almost spit out a mouthful of tea, his eyes widened: "Hundred... Hundred-year-old wild ginseng?"
After choking, he continued to ask: "Is it true?"
"It's true." Lin Heng nodded slightly.
Guo Xu looked at Lin Heng in disbelief and said with emotion: "Your luck is too terrible."
"It was all luck, we met by chance." Lin Heng grinned, and of course he would not say that it was all Xiongba's credit.
Guo Xu looked at Lin Heng, believed the concept of luck, and secretly felt that Lin Heng had such good luck.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "This thing of yours must be worth at least 10,000 yuan, right?"
Lin Heng nodded and said with a smile: "At least fifteen thousand. This kind of thing is rare in a century, and its medicinal effect is extraordinary. There are only a few hundred-year-old wild ginseng in the whole country. If I wasn't short of money to start a business, I really wouldn't want to sell it. The longer it gets, the greater its value will be."
Guo Xu nodded. Lin Heng was not exaggerating. This thing was indeed like this. He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I'll ask around for you and see if there's anyone willing to buy it."
Lin Heng thanked him: "Thank you very much, Teacher Guo."
When he came, he did not bring a gift for Guo Xu, because if he did, the nature of the matter would change. Now he was just asking him to help casually, and if he did, he would have a psychological burden, subconsciously thinking that if he did not make things worse, he could not take the gift.
In fact, the most important thing is that Lin Heng didn't expect Guo Xu, and he thought of him by chance when chatting with Grandpa Gao.
"It's a small matter." Guo Xu waved his hand.
After that, he smiled and said, "Lin Heng, just play in my office. Let's have lunch together at noon."
Lin Heng shook his head and said, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Guo, I still have to go into the city to rent a motorcycle, so I don't have time today.
Well, I'll come pick you up some other day, on Saturday, and I'll host a meal at my house so you can taste the game I hunted."
The so-called family dinner is an invitation of the highest standard, so Lin Heng’s words would naturally not make Guo Xu angry.
He also saw that Lin Heng was really in trouble, and asked with a smile: "Can you ride a motorcycle?"
"I can ride it. I've ridden someone else's bike in the city before." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.
Guo Xu turned around, took out the motorcycle key and threw it to him, saying, "Since you can ride, take mine. I'm not going out today anyway."
Just as Lin Heng was about to wave his hand to refuse, he stuffed the car keys into Lin Heng's hand and said with a smile: "We are not only teacher and student, but also friends. I didn't refuse your gift of a turtle, so don't refuse such a small thing. It won't break."
"Okay then, thank you Teacher Guo!"
Lin Heng took the car keys with a smile and thanked him several times.
Guo Xu waved his hand: "It's a small matter. Since you want to go into the city, then go now. The one parked outside the door is it."
"Okay." Lin Heng agreed with a smile, walked over, inserted the key and started the motorcycle, then thanked Guo Xu again before leaving.
In his previous life, he had driven motorcycles, tricycles, four-wheelers and semi-trailers, so riding a motorcycle was a piece of cake for him; he could just drive away.
"It's so fast, but it's so cold." Riding on a motorcycle, Lin Heng was very happy and arrived at his purchasing station in less than a minute.
Seeing him coming back on a motorcycle, Wang Zhou was surprised: "Brother Lin, did you buy a motorcycle?"
"No, I borrowed it from Teacher Guo Xu. I have a good relationship with him." Lin Heng said casually and went into the house to find a scarf and hat.
"Oh, I envy Brother Lin."
Wang Zhou's eyes showed envy and surprise. Lin Heng actually had such a good relationship with the teacher who taught them back then, and he could even borrow something as valuable as a motorcycle.
He walked over, touched it, looked at it, and sighed inwardly that he didn't know when he would be able to own a motorcycle of his own.
Then he shook his head again. Even Brother Lin didn’t have one. He probably wouldn’t be able to afford one in his lifetime.
Lin Heng didn't notice Wang Zhou's expression. He took the scarf, cotton hat and gloves that were placed in the house, dressed neatly, and rode away on his bike.
After driving to the city, Lin Heng first found Director Jin Fuqiang and invited him to have lunch together at Taibai Hotel.
Taibai Hotel is the largest hotel in Taibai City. All activities are held here. The cheapest meal costs an ordinary person's monthly salary.
After finishing the lunch which cost more than fifty yuan, Lin Heng told him about his own business. He wanted to sell the hundred-year-old wild ginseng.
Jin Fuqiang sobered up immediately after hearing this. He stared at Lin Heng with wide eyes and asked, "Is it really a hundred-year-old wild ginseng?"
Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "Of course this is true. I can guarantee that the age is at least one hundred and forty years."
Jin Fuqiang nodded and looked at Lin Heng strangely: "Do you have any special skills in finding ginseng? This is the second one this year, and it was dug in winter."
Lin Heng grinned and said, "It was because I caught it in winter that I was lucky. I encountered it while hunting."
"Okay, okay, your opportunity is really enviable." Jin Fuqiang smiled and shook his head, then said: "I'll ask around for you and see if there are any buyers willing to buy it."
Lin Heng immediately stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Director Jin."
After chatting for a few more words, Lin Heng sent Jin Fuqiang back to his residence.
Compared to before, Lin Fuqiang's attitude towards Lin Heng is now much kinder. Money is often a symbol of status.
It’s just a motorcycle, but men and women will frequently look back when walking on the road.
After dealing with this matter, Lin Heng went to sell the musk again. This time he sold it together with the scent glands and made more money than the last time. A total of 48 grams, he sold it for a total of 1,440 yuan.
After depositing the whole amount into his passbook, he now has 5,500 yuan in cash.
After finishing these, Lin Heng went to find Ge Qingshan again.
Seeing Lin Heng, Ge Qingshan was also very excited. He patted his shoulder and said, "You finally came down. I have been waiting for you for so long."
Lin Heng looked apologetic: "I'm sorry I'm very busy at the end of the year, but I have time today, let's go hunting somewhere in the city where there are pheasants."
When Ge Qingshan heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Okay, let's set off now."
Lin Heng smiled and said, "You hold the bow, and I'll drive the motorcycle."
Ge Qingshan was immediately surprised and said, "You are amazing. You bought a motorcycle so quickly."
"No, I borrowed it from someone else. I plan to buy one in a few days." Lin Heng smiled slightly.
"That's great, let's go."
Ge Qingshan said this, then took his bow bag and set off with Lin Heng. On the way, while riding his bike, Lin Heng told him about his experiences in the mountains.
They came to a barren mountain in the north of the city, which was close to the Guanzhong Plain. There were fewer mountains, but there were still many pheasants.
In the middle of winter, when the two stopped at the foot of the mountain, they heard the calls of pheasants on the mountain.
Ge Qingshan looked at Lin Heng distressedly and said: "I actually went out to hunt by myself once, but most of the time the pheasants saw me and flew away before I even saw them."
He couldn't hit those that were too far away, which made him lose interest in playing with the bow and arrow.
But after hearing about Lin Heng's hunting in the mountains, Ge Qingshan's hope was rekindled. He also wanted to go to the mountains to experience this exciting hunting life.
Lin Heng smiled and said, "This is perfectly normal. It was like this at the beginning. Just wait until night. At this time, they rest on the trees and remain motionless."
"Then I'll try it next time." Ge Qingshan nodded.
He took out the compound bow and gave it to Lin Heng, wanting to watch him perform.
Lin Heng did not refuse. He took the bow and adjusted it, and directly adjusted the poundage to fifty pounds.
“Ga ga~~”
As soon as we got to the top of the mountain, a pheasant flew up with a whoosh.
Lin Heng took a look and didn't take it seriously. There were not many trees on this barren mountain, mostly shrubs and thorn bushes. The pheasants were hiding under dry grass or bushes and were not easy to find.
After walking a few steps, Lin Heng saw a big pheasant under the bushes fifty meters away, picking up food there.
It seems that because there is an abundance of food around the city, the pheasant looks particularly fat.
Lin Heng drew his bow and arrow while Ge Qingshan watched from the side. He had never hit the target from such a long distance before.
Just when he thought Lin Heng would aim for a long time, the arrow flew out with a whoosh.
“Gada!!”
With a scream, the arrow had accurately shot into the pheasant's body, nailing it firmly to the ground. It screamed twice and then became silent.
Ge Qingshan was still a little slow to react. He turned his head and looked at Lin Heng with a look of shock on his face: "You don't even need to aim? This is too outrageous!"
Normally it would take him at least five or six seconds to aim to shoot a pheasant, but Lin Heng shot in less than two seconds, which was too fast.
"Of course I aimed." Lin Heng smiled slightly. Shooting a pheasant at fifty meters was a very easy task for him.
Ge Qingshan gave a thumbs up, completely convinced: "Awesome, your arrows are amazing."
Lin Heng smiled slightly, picked up the pheasant and gave it to Ge Qingshan. He soon found another one, this one was closer, only thirty meters away, but there were two of them together.
Unlike before, Lin Heng aimed for a long time this time. With a whoosh, the arrow flew out and he killed both pheasants with one arrow.
Ge Qingshan looked at the two pheasants that were shot through by an arrow, his eyes widened like copper bells. If hitting a pheasant with an arrow from 50 meters was acceptable, then this was completely beyond his understanding.
He had always thought that this only existed in novels, but he never expected that someone could actually accomplish it in front of him.
Swallowing his saliva, Ge Qingshan said slowly: "Why do I feel like hunting is so easy for you?"
Lin Heng laughed: "In fact, as long as you can find prey, hunting is halfway to success. You can definitely do it if you work hard."
Ge Qingshan shook his head: "Don't comfort me, I don't think I can do it in this lifetime."
"You try it, I'll give you guidance." Lin Heng returned the bow to him and said with a smile.
"Well, I'll make a fool of myself."
Ge Qingshan grinned. Seeing Lin Heng kill three pheasants in a row, he felt itchy and wanted to try it too.
After searching for a while, Lin Heng saw a pheasant fifty meters away from them.
"Go this way and go around slowly."
Lin Heng pointed a way to Ge Qingshan and led him along.
