Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 38 Going to town to sell goods

"Of course, a three-pound old turtle!"

Lin Heng opened the bag, and a huge turtle was revealed. At this time, its limbs and head had shrunk, pretending to be dead.

"Oh my god, this is such an old turtle. It feels like it must have been at least ten years old. You can catch this, so lucky." Carpenter Liang couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this old turtle.

He looked a little envious. It was easy to sell this turtle for ten yuan. He could only earn so much money by working for half a month.

This made him couldn't help but take another look at Lin Heng. This second-rate guy was so lucky. He could catch a turtle with the next fishhook.

But in fact, this is really not luck. Only by knowing enough about soft-shelled turtles can you catch them accurately. If you get a dead fish, the soft-shelled turtle will not take the bait.

Only this kind of injured but not dead fish will be more attractive to it.

"Awesome, brother, you did it this time!!" Lin Yue patted Lin Heng's shoulder hard, expressing his excitement.

"It was the two of us who caught it. This turtle is the one you found, otherwise I wouldn't be able to catch it. We would get half the money from the sale." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"It has nothing to do with me, this is yours alone." The eldest brother Lin Yue shook his head and said.

"You guys don't have to fight, it's just half for each person, and the same goes for eels." Father Lin interrupted the two of them and settled down directly.

Then he looked at Lin Heng with some excitement: "You tell me, it would be great to live a down-to-earth life as soon as possible. You can also make a lot of money."

"This is good luck. How can I have so much luck every day?" Lin Heng shook his head and said.

Father Lin turned the turtle over again and looked at it. Some blood vessels could still be seen on the extremely white belly. The skirt was thick and it was a genuine wild turtle.

"You just happen to be going to town, so sell it today, lest it loses value if it dies." Lin's father suggested.

"I thought so too. The fungi collected in the past two days were also sold together." Lin Heng nodded.

"I have packed all my things. Your Xiulan has just been packed for you when she came back. Let's go directly." The eldest brother Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng and said.

"Brother, you leave first. I'll catch you when I go to the toilet." Lin Heng said suddenly.

"Okay then, walk faster." Lin Yue nodded and left with his backpack on his back.

Lin Heng squatted down in a large position, and then set off with his backpack on his back. As he walked through the wheat field, he quietly took the yellow man lying here and put it at the bottom of the backpack, and walked onto the road to catch up with his elder brother.

"The mud road is really difficult to walk on. I wonder when we will be able to build a cement road here." Lin Heng said with emotion, wearing a raincoat made of film paper.

Lin Yue smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "I don't know when the electricity will be turned on, let alone the cement road."

"Yes."

Lin Heng is also very worried about this. Fortunately, if nothing happens, electricity will be available next year, and it will be much more convenient for him to engage in breeding by then.

Without electricity, farming is very difficult.

It's okay, just rush to the mountains to earn some initial capital first, don't worry, after all, this is only [-], there are too many opportunities in the future.

The two men walked the six or seven kilometers to the town in forty minutes.

Today is the sixth day of the lunar month, which happens to be the day to go to the market. Although it is raining lightly, the streets in the town are still very lively, full of people, cries and conversations.

"Let's go sell mushrooms and herbs together first?" The eldest brother Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng and asked.

"Brother, you can sell it to me. I had a quarrel with Liu Qicheng in my third year of junior high school. I don't want to go. I'll wait for you here."

Lin Heng took down all the fungi and herbs from his backpack and gave them to his elder brother.

Although it is more cost-effective to go to the city to sell it, it is too far and it is not worth it.

"Okay, leave it to me." Lin Yue said nothing when he heard this, took the things and left.

After seeing the snake leave, Lin Heng quickly went to the place where the snake was collected and sold the yellow Han snake (Wang Jin snake).

It's not that he's afraid that his eldest brother will know, but that he believes in those things just like his father, so he won't be able to sell them if he knows about them. "How much does Huang Han charge per pound now?" Lin Heng asked as he walked into Wang's shoe store. The shoe store was run by an old man who also collected snakes.

"Anything under three kilograms costs two and a half yuan per kilogram, and anything over three kilograms costs three yuan per kilogram." The old man in the shoe store glanced at him and said casually.

"Take a look." Lin Heng handed the snake to him.

The old man opened the bag and took a look, nodded, and tied the bag again: "It's Huang Han, you and I come to the back."

When he got to the backyard, he found a scale and weighed it in front of Lin Heng: "Four and a half pounds, 13 yuan, you are lucky to catch such a big yellow man."

The old man smiled and poured the snake into a big bag. There were more than ten snakes in it, one of which was about the same size as Lin Heng.

After releasing the snake, Old Man Wang gave Lin Heng thirteen yuan and asked, "You have sold it for so much money, why don't you buy a pair of shoes?"

"No." Lin Heng took the money, turned around and left.

Not long after he returned to his original position, his elder brother Lin Yue also came over and handed Lin Heng six yuan: "Your herbs and fungi were sold for a total of five yuan and eighty cents. You can take them all."

"Okay." Lin Heng didn't even have a mother-in-law, so he accepted it directly.

This was just money from selling the mushrooms, he didn't sell the rabbit skins.

"Let's go sell eels and turtles." Lin Yue rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited.

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the Jinyu Hotel in the town. This is an old hotel where government leaders and some wealthy people like to eat here.

Only here can one have the strength to buy these things. Ever since Lin Heng and his eldest brother discovered that catching eels at night was easy, they would come here to sell them several times a year.

The boss, Liu Yu, is a fat middle-aged man. When he saw Lin Yue and Lin Heng coming over and handing out two cigarettes, he smiled and said, "It's my first time here this year. Did you bring anything good?"

"Boss Liu, don't tell me, we really brought a big product today, look at it." Lin Yue said with a smile.

Lin Heng opened the bag and showed it to Boss Liu. Liu Yu was immediately happy when he saw it: "It's really good stuff. This must be a veteran of more than ten years."

"Yes, how much can Boss Liu give?" Lin Heng asked with a smile.

"How about three yuan a pound? You are also old customers." Liu Yu said with a smile.

Just when Lin Yue was about to agree, Lin Heng spoke first: "Four yuan, Boss Liu. This thing is not easy to catch, and it's not injured yet. It's alive."

Liu Yu glanced at Lin Heng, shook his head and said, "Let's weigh him first and then talk."

As he said this, he took the turtle and weighed it, weighing three pounds and five taels.

"How about 12 yuan?" Liu Yu said with a smile.

"You are the big boss. If you don't miss this little money, give me 15 yuan. We caught this turtle yesterday and brought it today, but we didn't even feed it. It's worth the price." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Liu Yu looked at Lin Heng and said with a smile: "Why didn't I realize you were so good at bargaining before? I'll give you 13 yuan, no more."

"Boss Liu, come over here and I'll tell you something." Lin Heng said again.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yu was a little impatient. 13 yuan was already his limit. He felt that Lin Heng was a little ungrateful.

Lin Heng didn't seem to notice his expression and whispered something to his mouth.

Immediately, Boss Liu's expression relaxed, and he looked at Lin Heng with some surprise: "Are you sure?"

"Of course, there's no need to lie to you. You'll find out once you check." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll buy it for 15 yuan." Liu Yu nodded.

But he was a little shocked at how Lin Heng, a farmer, knew such news.

　Please give me a recommendation vote and some monthly passes too.
