Ye Zhiqiu slapped his head and said with a wry smile, "Oh, I was stupid! Brother Li, you did the right thing. Life is the most important thing! They have mothers who need money for medical treatment, but don't we buyers have parents at home waiting for us to come home?"
Li Xingwu handed Ye Zhiqiu a cigarette, lit it, and said calmly, "That's right! I'm telling you this experience because you're young! You'll always have to go to the countryside to purchase things in the future. If you encounter this kind of situation, don't be soft-hearted.
If you meet someone with bad intentions and are afraid of killing someone, think more about whether they are afraid of killing you!
Secondly, it’s to warn you! I wouldn’t say this experience is particularly glorious, but after going through this kind of thing, I don’t dare to go to the countryside to purchase anything anymore…”
Ye Zhiqiu stayed here, chatting with Li Xingwu for two hours. Looking at the position of the sun, it was almost five o'clock, so he said goodbye and rode back the way he came.
In fact, Ye Zhiqiu knew that if he were really like Li Xingwu, if he encountered such a thing, he would not even report it, but would just put it into the space and deal with it cleanly.
No one values life more than Ye Zhiqiu!
When no one was around, Ye Zhiqiu put his thoughts into his space and caught five hens, tied their legs, and put them in a pack basket on one side. He also put some vegetables and about a pound of pork belly in the other.
Rabbit tastes better when stewed with some pork. Stewing rabbit meat alone is not that delicious.
Ye Zhiqiu looked at these things and continued to ride his bike home, but he felt very sad in his heart!
I have so much space, but I don't know how to find an excuse to bring things home! I've recently spent a little extra money, and it's made my family suspicious.
Why don't we have lotteries in this era? Otherwise, we can just lie and claim we won the lottery, and then we can take home whatever we want!
After much thought, Ye Zhiqiu felt that he only had one option left: to copy articles or poems and earn royalties as a writer?
If I think about it seriously, I can't go down this road at all. The storm will come soon! What I need is to be a little invisible and get through that period safely!
After thinking about it, there was no way out. Ye Zhiqiu remembered what Accountant Zhao said. He didn't know how many kilograms of fish there were in this fish pond!
I don't know if I can make some money, but at least selling this low-quality product to the factory at a high price is legal hidden income, and I can tell my family about it.
Ye Zhiqiu, worried, returned home. Wang Xiaolan was processing the rabbit skin, but she was reluctant to eat it because it was more valuable than the meat.
At that time, our way of earning foreign exchange was to export non-ferrous metals, tea, silk, ceramics, fruits, coal, live pigs, furs, and medicinal materials in exchange for foreign exchange to purchase various materials and equipment from other countries.
Furs and other things are all exported to the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, so the purchase price is so high at this time!
Ye Zhiqiu pushed his bicycle back to the yard and said to Wang Xiaolan with a smile, "Mom, I brought back five hens. We can raise chickens and collect eggs again. Are you happy?"
Wang Xiaolan excitedly put down the rabbit skin and trotted over to examine the contents of the basket. She said excitedly, "Boss, where did you get this hen? It's really fat, and it looks like a good hen laying eggs. What kind of prodigal son would be willing to sell it to you?"
As soon as she finished speaking, before Ye Zhiqiu could answer, she remembered something and hurriedly pulled him aside and asked anxiously, "Boss, didn't you say that you spent all the money from selling the prey you got in the mountains? Then where did you get the money for these chickens and pork?"
Don’t tell me it was the seven yuan and ten cents in your pocket that bought all these things! I’m not old and confused enough to be this stupid! Where did you get the money from? If you don’t tell me, I’ll be so worried…”
Ye Zhiqiu scratched his head. This cheap old lady is really hard to fool! This is why he didn't dare to bring back the large amount of supplies in his space.
After he parked his bicycle, he explained to Wang Xiaolan, "Hey! Mom, why are you so smart? I really don't have much private money this time. The money I spent recently was all earned from hunting squirrels in the mountains!"
"Now the purchase price for a squirrel pelt is three yuan and fifty cents! I spent over a year hunting squirrels, skinning them, and secretly selling them to earn this much money, and now I've almost spent it all."
Wang Xiaolan was half-believing and half-doubting, "Squirrel fur is so valuable? You're not lying to me, are you?"
The story about the government buying squirrel fur is true. Squirrel fur is valuable overseas. Rabbit fur is much larger than squirrel fur, but its price is not as high as squirrel fur!
It's a shame I can't trade privately. Otherwise, I could buy hides myself and sell them to Eastern European countries on the Soviet side. The profits would be astonishingly high! It's not about how much money or hair you can make from a hide, but how many times you can multiply it!
"Mom, you can go and see! There are buying points everywhere now, and the supply and marketing cooperatives also have signs buying furs. You'll know what's going on right away! I didn't dare tell you before because the prey in the mountains belonged to the village collective, so I had to hunt them secretly and sell them! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to save so much money!"
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's seriousness, and considering that this was indeed the case in the countryside! In any case, Ye Zhiqiu had managed to fool Wang Xiaolan. She no longer asked about the money, but was busy fixing the chicken coops in the warehouse, preparing to put the chickens in to raise them.
Ye Zhiqiu returned to the living room. Ye Bailu was sleeping on the table again, and the little black dog was also asleep on the floor. He probably thought his younger sister had been tossing it around a lot, otherwise it wouldn't be sleeping so soundly without any warning.
After pouring himself a bowl of water and drinking it, Ye Zhiqiu walked out of the yard, and Ye Wubing also came back with a bucket.
He said happily, "Mom, big brother! I didn't find any turtles this afternoon, but I caught a lot of big river shrimps in a small puddle by the river!"
Ye Zhiqiu said in surprise: "You didn't bring a net bag, how could you catch shrimp?"
He quickly went over to take a look in the bucket. In addition to about two kilograms of snails, there were also quite a few river shrimps as long as his little finger!
Wang Xiaolan also ran over. Seeing so many shrimps, she became interested again! Because the price of these shrimps was quite good, even more expensive than pork by 20 cents!
She smiled and said, "Second brother, can I help you sell this shrimp? I'll buy you popsicles with the money!"
Ye Wubing quickly protected the bucket. He said gloomily, "Mom, do you think I'm stupid? I have at least half a pound of shrimp here. If I can't sell them for 50 cents, I can sell them for at least 40 cents. And you're just giving me a popsicle to get rid of me?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Forget it, Mom, don't worry about that. We haven't eaten shrimp in a long time. Let's just braise them in oil tonight."
Wang Xiaolan was reluctant and wanted to fight for it again, but Ye Wubing said happily: "Okay, big brother said that eating more shrimp can make you taller. I also want to be as tall as big brother!"
His words dispelled Wang Xiaolan's idea of selling the shrimps. Which mother doesn't want her children to grow up tall and strong?
