Tan Guanghao and Pei Nansheng got along very well during the two weeks they spent with Zuo Ling's family, and they were both happy to see each other again.
"Come inside, come inside and talk, come inside and talk."
Pei Nansheng ushered the person in, "Zuo Ling, Instructor Tan, who teaches us about submarines, is here."
Tan Guanghao taught a good class, and Zuo Ling had a very good impression of him.
"Instructor Tan, hello! Long time no see, you still look as energetic as ever."
"No, no, you really haven't changed at all."
Tan Guanghao genuinely felt that Pei Nansheng and his sister hadn't changed at all.
A few years ago, he was a super-rich man who could afford a submarine.
Years later, they were still able to exchange snake venom at ridiculously high ratios.
Comparing yourself to others is just asking for trouble!
Seeing the lush greenery in the yard again, I wasn't so angry that I fainted; my heart had already become more open.
"..."
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the conversation turned to snake venom.
"Instructor Tan, it's like this, we need to collect snake venom for a very important purpose, to put it seriously, it concerns the life and death of my brother and sister. So, we need to watch the other side collect the snake venom."
Tan Guanghao understood what Pei Nansheng meant: he was afraid that someone might tamper with the snake venom, and he wouldn't feel at ease unless he was watching the snake venom being extracted.
Explain quickly:
"Don't worry, our snake venom is absolutely clean; no one has mixed anything into it."
Pei Nansheng waved his hand, indicating that he should listen to him finish:
“This concerns the life and death of my siblings and me. I don’t trust anyone, not just you. Since you’re here, it wouldn’t be right not to accept it. I will accept it, but at a lower price. For those who take the poison in front of me, I’ll exchange 45 jin of compressed biscuits for 1 jin. For yours, I’ll give you a maximum of 30 jin. Is that okay? If it is, I’ll accept it.”
If it weren't for the fact that Tan Guanghao represented the military, Pei Nansheng would have offered an even lower price.
Tan Guanghao felt uneasy about losing 15 pounds, but Pei Nansheng's explanation was reasonable. If you don't let people watch you take the drugs, even if you produce a test report, they can just say, "I don't believe it," and it's all for nothing.
He patted his thigh and said, "Alright, let's do as Brother Pei says."
After the transaction was completed, Pei Nansheng reminded him:
"We don't want this kind of poison anymore. If you want to exchange it, then take the poison in front of us."
Tan Guanghao was in a dilemma, but Pei Nansheng made it clear that it concerned someone's life and death, and no amount of caution was too much.
"Okay, I got it. But do you have that many compressed biscuits? If we bring them over and you can't exchange them, then all our efforts will have been in vain."
The three kilograms of snake venom exchanged were brought back by the soldiers during a mission, as they were essentially hunting for prey.
Knowing they can exchange it for compressed biscuits will definitely change their enthusiasm; it won't just be about 3 kilograms anymore.
Pei Nansheng smiled:
"Don't worry, I don't have compressed biscuits, but I still have cat food and dog food. If you want to exchange cat food and dog food, I can offer 55 jin for 1 jin."
Tan Guanghao stared wide-eyed, not at all feeling that Pei Nansheng's mention of "dog food" was an insult to him.
He's eaten food that's ten times more disgusting than cat or dog food, so he doesn't care whether it's for humans or cats and dogs.
He now wants to replace all the compressed biscuits with cat and dog food. 30 pounds more food versus 30 pounds less food makes a big difference.
After thinking about it, I sighed and decided to go back and ask my supervisor for their opinion.
Hearing that he could exchange it for an extra 30 kilograms of cat and dog food, the boss had Tan Guanghao bring back the compressed biscuits before the night was even over.
This shows just how severe the food shortage was for the troops, which made Pei Nansheng feel quite embarrassed.
I wondered if I was being too harsh on myself.
Finally, they gave me an extra 5 pounds of cat food, plus a full basket of homegrown greens.
Tan Guanghao was overjoyed; it was an unexpected delight, and he was so loyal.
Food is precious; an extra half pound of grain could mean the loss of a life.
