Arriving in front of an old thatched house, Wu Dong asked loudly.
"No, he went out to chop wood!"
A middle-aged peasant woman walked out of the house. When she saw the wild animals and grass carp carried by Wu Dong and his subordinates, she was surprised and said curiously: "A Dong, I haven't seen you come to the village in this time. It seems like
It’s been a good life!”
"Ha, Aunt Chen was joking. It's just good luck that I caught these things!"
In the memory of the original owner of the body, he had a good relationship with the villagers, so he naturally recognized the peasant woman in front of him and directly explained his purpose: "Aunt Chen, doesn't Uncle Chen provide firewood to restaurants in the town every day?"
"I would like to ask Uncle Chen to help introduce them so that I can sell these wild animals to restaurants. This grass carp is a thank you gift!"
He was not polite and directly sent a grass carp, which was considered decent for the Chen family in front of him.
"This... you are too polite!"
Aunt Chen hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the grass carp that was handed over to her.
As the saying goes, people have short hands. Although the value of a grass carp is not high, it is a rare meat in winter for the Chen family. At least the smile on Aunt Chen's face is much more sincere.
Even if you don't eat it at home, you can still sell it for a few copper coins in the town.
He warmly welcomed Wu Dong and his two younger brothers into the house, and then hurried out to find Uncle Chen who was cutting firewood.
"Brother Dong, you are too generous!"
After Aunt Chen left, a young man who was accompanying him muttered: "What can I say, that grass carp can be exchanged for a few copper coins!"
"you're so dumb!"
Wu Dong said angrily: "If there is no introduction from an acquaintance, how can the restaurant in the town accept our wild animals casually?"
"Even if we have to charge it, the price will be lowered, and our losses will be even greater then!"
"As for selling it directly at the market, I have never thought about it!"
"Why is this?"
"With our status, we can easily be targeted by rogue gangsters at the market, and we might end up losing everything!"
When Wu Dong said this, he didn't just say it casually.
Although I spend most of my time in the dilapidated temple these days, I will go for a walk in the town from time to time and observe the specific environment of the town.
After careful observation, I came to the conclusion: I really can’t say it’s good!
There are too many green-skinned gangsters, and they are all organized.
Once you are targeted by them, you may not be able to stop in the future.
What's more, Wu Dong and his little beggars are likely to be exploited and squeezed by the green-skinned gangsters who are targeting them, and the consequences will be disastrous.
In the memory of the original owner, when he and his little beggars were begging in the town, they were constantly harassed and bullied by green-skinned gangsters, which has always been a deep memory.
Sure enough, as soon as he said these words, the younger brother who was still unconvinced suddenly became speechless.
They are too young, even if they are facing a young and strong gangster who smokes heavily and has already hollowed out his body, they cannot do it.
Finally, there is some hope for life, and no one wants to be disturbed and ruined by the green-skinned gangsters in the town.
Not long after, Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen, who was carrying a bundle of firewood, rushed back. For the sake of that grass carp, Uncle Chen, who was already honest and responsible, readily agreed to Wu Dong's request.
It was getting late, so Wu Dong and his two younger brothers immediately followed Uncle Chen, planning to rush directly to the town to trade wild animals.
Before leaving, Wu Dong went to the home of the most respected villager in the village, presented a grass carp, and then left in a hurry.
This is what it should be. In the future, we will inevitably make deals with restaurants in the town, and it will be difficult to keep the information secret.
By then, there is no guarantee that no one in the village will be tempted.
Although Wu Dong is not afraid, he does not want to cause trouble. Having a respected village elder to help him speak will save a lot of troubles.
When I got to the town, I met the restaurant manager. With Uncle Chen as the middleman, the deal was easily concluded.
In order to show his sincerity, Wu Dong gave away the last grass carp for free without saying anything, in order to hope that the restaurant owner would agree to some of his requests.
…
When Wu Dong returned to the ruined temple in the evening carrying half a bag of grains, he was immediately cheered and cheered.
That's right, he asked the restaurant manager in the town to directly exchange the wild animals he brought for grains at market prices.
For the same reason, it would be too intrusive to just take money directly to the rice shop to buy grain.
Wu Dong was not afraid of trouble. Although he was dressed in a beggar's outfit, he was clean and tidy, and he did not look like a beggar in either behavior or temperament.
But he can't come in person every time, and his little beggar will have no way to hide.
Once you are recognized, you will definitely be in trouble.
When dealing with restaurants, it is not a hassle for the restaurant. It is just a matter of buying more grains when purchasing.
But by doing this, he could hide Wu Dong's little beggars very well.
Of course, as time goes by and the number of times increases, it is impossible to keep it secret, but Wu Dong is not demanding anything. All he needs is a buffer time of one or two months.
After a month or two, regardless of his own condition, he is confident that through the supplementation of medicinal foods, the physical condition of his subordinates will reach normal levels.
If you teach some self-defense methods, you will still be able to deal with those big smokers.
In the evening, I cooked a pot of meat porridge mixed with millet, wild vegetables, Chinese medicinal materials and bacon with the help of half of the clay pot. Everyone ate it happily.
The faces of the little beggars are full of happy smiles...
Time flies and it’s January in a blink of an eye.
In one month, many changes took place in the dilapidated temple where a group of beggars lived.
The dilapidated temple, which was originally leaking air from everywhere, has now been repaired. Although it looks very ugly, at least there is no need to worry about air leakage and rain leakage.
The main hall has been cleaned cleanly, there is no more domestic garbage, and there is no trace of Xiaoqiang running around.
There are no statues of gods in the hall long ago. There are two bunk beds placed in two rows against the wall, just like the bunk beds in the school dormitory.
Although the other tables and chairs are shabby, they are fully equipped.
In this way, the living conditions of the little beggars living here have been greatly improved.
There is a specially set up kitchen in the back, and a fence is formed by thick branches in front, which contains many wild animals caught in the mountains and forests.
It can be said that the ruined temple at this time feels a bit like home...
It can be said that the ruined temple at this time feels a bit like home...
The most gratifying change is that the physical condition of the little beggars, after more than a month of conditioning, is no different from normal people of the same age.
He is no longer as skinny as a stick and might be blown over by a gust of wind.
As he has grown older, he can eat enough every day for more than a month, and he can also ensure oil, water and nutrition, so he recovers really quickly.
With his medical skills, he can no longer see any major problems with the little beggars...
