Chapter 151 I Think of a Good Way
Not long after, Jia Fuzhong and a woman in her forties were seen driving over in a mule cart.

Then he turned his head and looked around, and found no one, so he hurriedly jumped off the mule cart, reached out to lift the layer of straw covering the mule cart, and motioned Li Guoqiang to come over to inspect the goods.

Seeing this, Li Guoqiang immediately walked forward and set his eyes on the kang cabinets under the straw.

In fact, he didn't know much about identifying these old furniture.

However, nowadays, no one would forge old furniture just for a dozen dollars. If they have the time, they might as well just make a new one, which can be sold at a higher price.

In addition, the drawers and cabinets of these kang cabinets each have a shiny brass pull earring, which shows at a glance that they have been used for quite a few years.

Therefore, he just took a quick look and took out 15 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Jia Fuzhong.

When Jia Fuzhong saw the money, his expression finally improved a little, and he hurriedly put the money away.

Then, he followed Li Guoqiang's instructions and worked with Li Guoqiang to carry the four kang cabinets into the grove next to them.

After finishing his work, he drove away in his mule cart without even saying goodbye. It was obvious that he had some complaints about Li Guoqiang's harsh price-cutting.

Li Guoqiang didn't care much about this.

This was just a coincidence, otherwise he would not be interested in buying these antiques specifically!
Not to mention these things, it will take another 20 to 30 years for them to be valuable. Just the return on investment is far less than buying a few courtyard houses in the old city.

What's more, now is the time when the storm is at its most violent. If the news leaks out and people know that he has been buying these antiques, who knows what kind of trouble it will bring him!
The main reason why he wanted to buy these kang cabinets was to try to activate his antique appreciation skills.

In addition, he had originally planned to build a private courtyard in his little world, and at that time he could put these kang cabinets in it as furniture, which would be a good use of the space.

After watching Jia Fuzhong leave, he asked Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani to sit on the sled and wait for a while, then he went back into the grove and put the four kang cabinets into his small world.

Then, he took Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani and started the return journey.

Because there were dozens of kilograms of supplies on the sled, their return speed was much slower than when they came out.

Sometimes, even when they encountered a slope, Li Guoqiang had to come down to help pull them up.

This also made him want to raise more big dogs so that he could completely achieve freedom of travel.

By the time they got home, it was already past one in the afternoon.

Xu Yuping first gave them a basin of hot water for washing their faces and hands, and then served them steaming hot meals. Then she and Qu Yinfeng began to sort out the things they bought, and by the way, she also did not forget to lay a new kang mat in Li Guoqiang's wooden house.

After laying the floor, she looked at the large and spacious new kang in front of her, and a hint of anticipation and shyness flashed in her eyes.

If nothing unexpected happens, in two or three days, she and Li Guoqiang will be able to live together here.

On the other side, Li Guoqiang finished his meal in no time, and then took out a Type 56 Semi-God Gun from the kang cabinet.

"Qiangzi, what are you doing?"

Seeing this, Qu Yinfeng hurriedly asked.

"Oh!"

Li Guoqiang glanced at Qu Yinfeng, then laughed and said, "Some time ago we went into the mountains to hunt wild wolves. We dug some wolf caves and set some traps. I haven't checked for a few days. I plan to go check now to see if there is any harvest."

"to make!"

Qu Yinfeng nodded in realization, then whispered, "Then be careful and don't come back so late!"

"Ok!"

Li Guoqiang nodded in agreement, then pretended not to see Zhu Caixia's eager look, put on his clothes, carried his gun and strode out.

"Qiangzi, where are you going?"

Just as Xu Yuping was about to enter the house, she saw Li Guoqiang walking out fully armed, and then she hurriedly asked.

Upon hearing this, Li Guoqiang could only repeat what he had said to Qu Yinfeng before.

"That's it!"

Xu Yuping felt relieved, then nodded and said, "Then be careful. No matter whether you have any harvest or not, you must come back early."

"Okay, then I'm leaving!"

Li Guoqiang smiled slightly, nodded in agreement and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Xu Yuping stood there, watching Li Guoqiang leave, a trace of worry appearing on her face.

In fact, if possible, she didn't want Li Guoqiang to go into the mountains to hunt.

After all, people in the surrounding villages often heard about people getting into trouble in the mountains, and she didn't want the good man she had found with great difficulty to be gone just like that.

Little did he know that nowadays, when Li Guoqiang goes into the mountains, it is just like entering his own back garden. There is no risk at all.

Soon, he used the small world to teleport and headed straight to the Phoenix Ridge Production Brigade. On the way, he did not forget to stop by the century-old wild ginseng to check the situation to avoid any problems.

When he arrived at Guan Changsheng's home with two big wild boars on a simple sled, Guan Changsheng and Zhou Xiaoyu were instantly scared and they hurried forward to help unload the wild boars.

Afterwards, Guan Changsheng looked at the muzzles on the heads of the two wild boars and could not help but say with admiration:
"Qiangzi, your marksmanship is amazing! I shot both wild boars in the eyes with one shot. You are truly a hero who can kill the Tiger King single-handedly!"

"Harmful!"

Hearing this, Li Guoqiang quickly waved his hands and said modestly: "Don't flatter me. I just rely on the gun in my hand. If I give this gun to you, you can do it too."

"what!"

When Guan Changsheng heard Li Guoqiang's praise, his heart instantly blossomed. Then he smiled happily and said, "You are really good at talking!"

After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly continued, "By the way, I have already sold the wild boar you asked me to sell last time. I sold it for a total of 179 yuan."

"Well, Xiaoyu, go and give the money to Qiangzi."

"Oh!"

Zhou Xiaoyu nodded in agreement, then hurried into the house and handed the money to Li Guoqiang. Li Guoqiang took the money and counted it carefully, finding that it was the same as Guan Changsheng said. He then divided 35 yuan from it and handed it to Zhou Xiaoyu, laughing and saying, "Uncle Sheng, Aunt Yu, this is the share I promised to give you."

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Xiaoyu glared at him, then said with an unhappy look on her face: "Didn't we agree that I would give you all the money we made from the sale? Why are you doing this to me?"

"Yup!"

Guan Changsheng nodded, and then said seriously: "Qiangzi, if you really think of us as your uncles and aunts, you should quickly collect the money from me."

"This"

Li Guoqiang frowned slightly when he saw their attitude, then nodded and said, "Okay! I won't be polite to you this time."

"But there is no such thing as letting people work for nothing."

"How about this!"

"Just give me 170 yuan for each of these two wild boars. How much you can sell them for depends on your ability!"

Hearing this, Guan Changsheng and Zhou Xiaoyu looked at each other, then looked at the two big wild boars next to them, and couldn't help feeling hesitant.

Just like what Li Guoqiang said, there is no reason in this world to let people work for nothing.

The reason why they helped Li Guoqiang sell the wild boar for free was simply because they wanted to repay his kindness.

Now, since Li Guoqiang doesn't like them repaying his kindness in this way, there is no need for them to force Li Guoqiang anymore, lest they fail to repay their kindness and end up ruining their relationship.

Thinking of this, they all nodded and agreed.

Based on the previous prices of wild boars, they estimated that these two big wild boars could be sold for at least 360 yuan, and if the market was good, they could even sell for more.

In this way, they can earn 20 to 30 yuan, which is almost the same as an ordinary worker's monthly salary.

Just as they were feeling happy about this, Li Guoqiang also took out a knife and prepared to slaughter the two wild boars.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyu hurriedly turned around and ran into the house to get hot water, while Guan Changsheng went to move a long bench over.

Soon, a fishy smell emanated from the yard, which made people feel a little dizzy.

By the time Li Guoqiang had slaughtered the two wild boars, more than an hour had passed.

Afterwards, he, Guan Changsheng and Zhou Xiaoyu sorted the bones, meat and offal into a large water vat in the corner of the yard for refrigeration and preservation, and then said goodbye and left.

The main reason why he insisted on asking Guan Changsheng and Zhou Xiaoyu to help sell the prey was to have a more legal source of income while also avoiding attracting attention.

Otherwise, he could just take all the prey to the black market and sell them. Not only could he make more money, but he wouldn't have to share the profits with anyone. Wouldn't that be better?
Nowadays, he has a relatively reliable and stable shipping channel, and can hunt prey in the mountains at any time, which basically solves the problem of economic source.

Next, it’s time to think about how to improve your social status and make your life better.

He has also made some preparations for this, such as demonstrating his carpentry skills, and also becoming the best pig butcher in the area through Xu Guangshou.

In this way, even if people found out that he often eats rice and meat at home, it would not easily arouse others' suspicion.

In order to help the villagers get rich and build a better mass base for himself, he even figured out a way to raise bees.

In his previous life, he had heard of the Northeastern black bees, so he knew that it was possible to raise bees here.

Moreover, due to the various benefits of honey and the fact that the technology for artificially breeding bees was not as developed as it is in later generations, the price of honey is still quite good today.

As long as he can successfully establish the apiary, he will be able to become the biggest celebrity in Jinshanbao.

His greatest reliance is that hard work pays off.

It’s like going into the mountains to collect wild bees. Others work hard to only collect one group of bees, but he can get eleven groups at once by collecting one group.

In addition, just as Rhubarb can get an extra ten times the reward by helping to catch rabbits, the same is true for bees. For every portion of honey they collect, he can get an extra ten portions.

In this case, is there anything that could be more profitable than beekeeping?

At that time, in order to ensure the reward from Jin Die, he could discuss with the brigade how much honey to produce and hand over to the brigade each year as planned, and then let him take a few villagers with him to become beekeepers.

Since he was the one who got the bees and he also played an absolutely dominant role in the breeding technology, he met the requirement of 60% contribution, so he didn't have to worry about not getting the reward.

Moreover, while harvesting a large amount of honey, he could also earn work points from the production team, which was simply too cool.

However, all this will have to wait until the beginning of next spring when the bees wake up from hibernation and leave their nests to collect honey.

Otherwise, there is ice and snow everywhere now, and even if he can use the small world to teleport, he will not be able to find the beehive quickly.

Soon, while perfecting his idea, he returned to the forest where he had dug the wolf kiln and set the traps before. Then he saw a flying dragon with a noose around its neck, flapping its wings continuously. This was a good start for him.

In a short while, he had captured the still-living flying dragon, and at the same time, he had also successfully obtained ten other flying dragons, earning more than ten dollars on the spot.

Afterwards, he continued to check the remaining traps and wolf kilns, and came across some surprises from time to time. In the end, he received a total of 22 flying dragons, 33 pheasants, 55 rabbits, 11 roe deer, 11 big wild boars, 22 small wild boars, and 1 young red deer. It was a big harvest.

Among them, when he caught the live elk, he couldn't help feeling pleasantly surprised.

Because this means that he has one more animal to try to tame.

If he could tame this little elk, it would be like he had an animal as big as a horse, and he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to pull the sled.

Therefore, he did not claim the reward for catching the elk immediately, but planned to claim it after taming it.

Soon, he left most of his harvest in the storage space and the small world, leaving only two pheasants, two flying dragons, two rabbits and a red deer that was less than half a man's height. He tied them all to a simple sled and then hurried back home, pulling them.

However, before he returned home, he met Xu Yuping who was waiting for him at the entrance to the mountain.

As soon as Xu Yuping saw Li Guoqiang, she ran up to him without saying a word. Her affectionate eyes kept looking at him, fearing that he was injured. She didn't notice the prey on the simple sled behind him at all.
