Chapter 152: Sell it or not
"Sister Yuping, why are you here?"
Li Guoqiang looked at Xu Yuping's face which was a little blue from the cold, and couldn't help but frown and asked.
"I"
Xu Yuping pursed her lips, then lowered her head slightly and said softly, "I saw that you hadn't come back so late, and I was a little worried, so I thought of coming to check on you!"
"Are you stupid?"
Li Guoqiang was slightly stunned, then he began to lecture him in a somewhat unpleasant tone: "It's not even dark yet! Why are you so worried?"
"It's so cold outside, what if you get frozen?"
"fine!"
Seeing that Li Guoqiang was angry, Xu Yuping hurriedly shook her head, and then said in a flattering tone: "I'm used to it. I used to go out to work even when it was colder than this! Don't worry! I won't get hurt by the cold!"
"okay!"
Hearing this, Li Guoqiang could only wave his hands with some distress and helplessness, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it this time, but if you dare to come out like this again in the future, you will see how I will deal with you!"
"Ok!"
Xu Yuping felt warm in her heart, and then nodded quickly and said, "Then let's go back quickly!"
After she finished speaking, she was about to go forward to help pull the sled, but her eyes were attracted by the little elk tied to the sled, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
"Qiangzi, this... is this what you got?"
"Yup!"
Seeing this, Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then smiled smugly and said, "How about it? Am I awesome?"
"Great!"
Xu Yuping nodded vigorously, and then praised excitedly: "You are simply amazing!"
"Just this one red deer is worth half a year's worth of work points for a strong laborer."
"hey-hey!"
Li Guoqiang was delighted, and then he said softly: "The most important thing is that this little red deer is alive. If we can tame it, then we will have a big animal to pull the cart in the future."
"This"
Xu Yuping was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "This should be difficult! After all, this sika deer is not like a horse, it will be easily frightened. If it accidentally flips over, it will be terrible."
"fine!"
Li Guoqiang waved his hand, then laughed and said, "It doesn't cost anything to try it. If it doesn't work, we can just kill it and eat its meat."
"That's true!"
After hearing what Li Guoqiang said, Xu Yuping could only nod and agree, then reached out to grab the rope, and pulled the sled back home with Li Guoqiang.
When they returned home, Qu Yinfeng, Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani felt very happy when they saw the little elk on the sled.
Because the more capable Li Guoqiang is, the better their lives will be in the future.
While they were all gathered around the sled to watch the curio, Li Guoqiang first handed the two pheasants, two flying dragons and two rabbits to Xu Yuping to deal with. Then he prepared to use the remaining wood from building the wooden house and the soil dug out from the tunnel to build a shack next to the toilet to accommodate the little elk.
Not long after, after Qu Yinfeng learned of Li Guoqiang's idea, she had no intention of stopping him. Without saying a word, she hurriedly took Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani to help.
Since it is the coldest time of the year now, you only need to mix some water and soil, and then use wooden boards to shape it, and you can directly build an ice wall.
So, before long, Li Guoqiang successfully built a small shack with four walls, then untied the elk from the sled and put it into the shack.
As soon as the sika deer was free, it immediately tried to jump up and run away, but was quickly stopped by the wooden sticks lying on the wall.
After many attempts, it seemed to understand its situation and slowly calmed down. Then it hid in the corner, staring with its big eyes, looking at Li Guoqiang and others standing outside the shack with some fear and vigilance.
Li Guoqiang was silent for a moment when he saw the amazing jumping ability of the sika deer.
According to this situation, even if he can barely tame this little elk, it will probably be easy to fail, right?
"Qiangzi, how should we feed it in the future?"
Soon, Xu Yuping came over and interrupted Li Guoqiang's thoughts.
Hearing this question, Li Guoqiang answered without thinking: "Well, feed it some reed leaves first and see if it eats them. If not, I will go into the mountains and get some pine needles to feed it in a few days."
"That!"
Xu Yuping nodded, and then quietly agreed: "Then you go into the house and get on the kang to warm up! I'll get some water for it to drink, and bring it some reed leaves."
After saying that, she turned around and started to get busy.
When Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani saw Li Guoqiang enter the house, they were no longer interested in teasing the sika deer, and hurriedly followed Li Guoqiang, chattering about the process of his catching the sika deer.
Qu Yinfeng was not idle at this time either. She took the two processed flying dragons into the house to cook.
Soon, a fresh and tempting smell wafted through their house, making Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani, two little greedy cats, drool uncontrollably.
As the saying goes, there is dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat on the ground. The dragon meat here refers to flying dragon.
This shows how delicious Feilong tastes.
And because it was so delicious, it was eaten by people in later generations and became a rare protected animal, which is a great pity.
After finishing the meal, Li Guoqiang looked at the plates with even the soup eaten up cleanly, as well as the unsatisfied looks on Zhu Caixia and Xu Dani's faces, and he couldn't help but have the urge to raise a flying dragon.
However, considering that flying dragons usually eat branches, buds, fruits and seeds of plants in the wild to have such delicious food, he had to give up this idea temporarily.
In addition, the most urgent task is to take the unused supplies in the storage space and the small world to the black market to exchange for some tickets and supplies.
For example, wild wolves, wild boars, hares, black bears, etc.
It's okay to eat these prey occasionally, but if you eat them frequently, you will definitely get tired of them easily.
Moreover, with his ability, if he wanted to eat, he could always go into the mountains to hunt some more, so there was no need to keep the prey. While taking a shower, he killed the unyielding wolf in the small world, and successfully got the reward of 10 wild wolves. Then he carefully counted the prey he had with his mind, and finally made a list for sale.
其中,分别是70头野狼、20头傻狍子、18头大野猪、22头小野猪和86只野兔。
除此之外,还剩下30只飞龙、30只野鸡、10头黑熊、2头野狼、1头傻狍子、1头大野猪、9.5头虎王和10头母老虎。
He had no intention of selling the black bear and tiger at a low price unless it was necessary.
After all, it is quite difficult to catch these precious preys again, and whether you keep them for your own use or give them as gifts in the future, they are very useful, so you naturally cannot give them up easily.
After finalizing the sales list, he began to think about what tickets and supplies he would need to exchange.
Generally speaking, hard currency tickets such as grain coupons, cloth coupons, oil coupons, meat coupons, fish coupons, coal coupons, wine coupons, and sugar coupons are all used within a city.
However, daily necessities tickets such as match tickets, soap tickets, soy sauce tickets, and manure tickets were mostly used within a county.
Therefore, he first had to exclude those tickets with a smaller scope of use, and then combined with the situation at home, he soon prepared a preliminary shopping list.
To know the specific details, he has to wait until he goes to the black market to see the actual situation.
If he could exchange or buy supplies at that time, he would get them directly. If not, he would get the money and tickets first, and then find time to buy them at the supply and marketing cooperative.
In short, do whatever is convenient for you.
As for where to go to the black market, he didn't have to consider this question at all, because he was in Chang County, so he could only go to the iron market above Chang County.
Otherwise, the exchanged tickets cannot be used in Chang County.
In the blink of an eye, it was already the second half of the night.
Li Guoqiang waited until Qu Yinfeng, Xu Yuping and the others fell asleep. Then he lay in the quilt with a thought in his mind, and instantly entered the little world with his clothes and shoes.
Next, he put on his clothes and shoes in the small world, covered his face with a towel, and then used the small world to teleport towards Chang County Railway Station.
Since he was familiar with the road to the county town, it only took him two or three minutes to reach the train station smoothly.
Then, he carefully identified the direction of the railway to Tieshi, and then started a new journey along the railway tracks.
In those days, domestic train routes were not that complicated, and most of them were located in deserted areas. In addition, he only stayed in the outside world for a very short time each time, so he didn't have to worry about being discovered or taking the wrong road.
He sped all the way like this, and after more than ten minutes, he arrived safely at Tieshi Railway Station.
Afterwards, he teleported directly to a height of several hundred meters, flew around and overlooked the entire city. Soon, he discovered several suspected black market locations through the flashing lights on the ground.
The next moment, he chose a place outside the city that was also the most likely place, and landed quickly and silently.
Soon, he passed the small stalls in the grove and found that he had come to the right place. Then he quickly teleported outside the black market with two more wild rabbits in his hands.
However, when he was carrying the rabbit and wanted to walk into the black market, he was suddenly stopped by two burly men.
"Brother, do you know the rules here?"
"What rules?"
Li Guoqiang raised his eyebrows, then asked calmly.
"Here's the rule! Whether you want to buy or sell something, you have to pay us a 10 cent entry fee. And if you can't sell your stuff, you can choose to sell it to us."
"Oh!"
Li Guoqiang's mind moved, and then he asked softly: "What price can you offer for my two rabbits?"
"You come with me!"
When the two burly men heard what Li Guoqiang said, they thought that he was reluctant to pay the one-cent entry fee and wanted to sell the rabbits to them directly. So they didn't think much about it, but just shone the flashlight on the two rabbits, and then took Li Guoqiang directly to a little old man.
The old man just glanced at the two rabbits and quoted a price calmly.
"Three cents a pound!"
Hearing this price, Li Guoqiang shook his head without thinking and said, "This price is not good. I can sell it to the purchasing station for this price. If you really want to buy it, then give me a more realistic price."
"That's the price, sell it if you want!"
The old man frowned and spoke in a cold voice.
For him, the boss of the black market, these two rabbits were nothing to him. In addition, he thought that Li Guoqiang was reluctant to pay the one-cent entry fee, so of course he had to take the opportunity to lower the price.
Seeing the old man's attitude, Li Guoqiang took out a dime from his pocket and handed it to him without saying a word. Suddenly, he had an idea to rob the rich and help the poor.
At this time, the old man had no idea how much loss his momentary contempt for others would bring him.
After receiving the ten-cent entrance fee, he casually waved his hand to signal the two burly men to take Li Guoqiang in. Then he turned around and sat on a small stool, smoking his pipe with a comfortable look on his face.
Soon, Li Guoqiang entered the black market and walked slowly with the two rabbits in his hands.
Many people here, like him, covered their faces with cloth, leaving only their eyes exposed, obviously worried about running into acquaintances.
In addition, he found that there were quite a lot of people coming to sell pheasants, rabbits and other prey, which made him understand why the old man dared to lower the price so much before.
In this way, he could forget about selling the prey for a good price here.
After realizing this situation, he hurriedly turned his attention to other stalls, wanting to spend money to purchase some supplies first.
很快,他就找到了一个卖粮食的摊位,花了10块钱买了30斤大米和10斤小麦面粉,然后又找到一个卖杂粮的摊位,花了6块钱买了5斤红豆、5斤绿豆、5斤花生米和5斤黑芝麻。
Apart from that, he couldn't find anything worth buying on the black market.
Either the quantity is too small, or he just doesn't like it.
Moreover, he had originally thought about finding someone to buy some tickets, but after finding out that the ticket scalper was in cahoots with the old man before, he no longer had the heart to spend money to buy tickets.
After all, who the hell would be willing to spend money if they can get it for free?
Not long after, under the cover of night, he put all the rabbits and the things he bought in his hands into his small world, and then followed a few people who had finished selling their things and hurriedly left the black market.
Afterwards, he did not go far, but teleported silently above the black market, and then hid in the small world, paying close attention to the movements in the black market, preparing to wait until the black market was over, and then follow the old man and others to their lair to become a chivalrous thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor.
