When the sun was almost noon, Su Mingzhe took the wild child out of the back mountain and returned home.
"Sit down, this is my home. I am an orphan now and live alone. You don't have to be shy."
Su Mingzhe said and asked the wild boy to put down his wolf skin. He went into the house and found his old clothes and asked the wild boy to change into them.
The wild child wears baggy clothes, which is really a bit funny.
The wild boy changed his clothes again, and Su Mingzhe began to teach him how to make wolf skins. After confirming that he had learned it, he asked him to work at home, and he rushed towards Zheng Wu's house with the silver fox skin.
At this moment, several people gathered at Zheng Wu's house.
In addition to Zheng Wu and his wife, there were also several cousins in the clan, all looking at the door with sad faces.
Zheng Wu’s wife was the first to lose her patience and sighed:
"Shopkeeper, you said so many people have seen the white fox, why can't anyone catch it?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Zheng Wu had a frustrated look on his face and directly snarled him.
Yesterday, he excitedly went to the mountain villages near Xianhua Mountain to buy fox skins, but ended up being lonely. He traveled to more than a dozen villages in a row, only to hear that everyone was spreading the legend of the white fox, but no one was caught.
By the time he came back sulking, it was already midnight.
Today, Zheng Guangming, who heard the rumors about the white fox, also came here with several brothers from the clan, just to see if the matter of the pure fox fur can still be solved as the deadline has reached.
Zheng Wu's daughter-in-law was scolded by her man in front of outsiders. She wanted to get angry, but seeing that there were outsiders in the house, she could only mutter: "Could it be that someone caught him and disliked the low price you gave me?
The other party doesn’t want to take it out?”
"A piece of white fox skin costs 200 yuan. Is this still low?"
Zheng Wu was also amused by his wife's words and couldn't help but said: "Originally, a fox skin was only fifty yuan, but this is four times the price!"
"That's what my sister-in-law said."
Zheng Guangming waved his hand at this time to stop Zheng Wu from teaching his wife, and frowned and said:
"Perhaps we have really lowered the price. After all, it is a white fox, and the fur is definitely more valuable than other solid-color fox furs. Well, Lao Wu, you can double the price, four hundred yuan... No, five hundred yuan, as long as
If the white fox skin is intact, it costs five hundred yuan."
"Brother Guangming, are you drunk?"
Zheng Wu was frightened by Zheng Guangming's words: "A fox fur requires at least a dozen or even twenty white fox skins. One piece costs five hundred yuan. Twenty pieces, that's ten thousand yuan."
"As long as someone can deliver the goods, we will give you the money!"
Zheng Guangming doesn't want to worry about the issue of money now.
As long as he can make the fox fur and send it to the top, so that his cousin can have a chance to go further, it is more important than anything else.
"Okay then, I'll go to the market to show off."
Zheng Wu had no choice but to go to the market to spread the word and raise the price of the white fox skin to 500 yuan a piece.
But he also added that this price is only valid for today and tomorrow.
After tomorrow, this price will not count.
Zheng Wu let it go and walked around the fur market again to make sure that no one had received a solid color fox fur, so he could only prepare to go home depressed.
But before he could get home, he saw his wife hurried to the market on her bicycle, out of breath, and shouted:
"Shopkeeper, there's someone... there's someone... coming... coming... selling fox skins..."
"Really or not?"
Zheng Wu didn't expect that as soon as he let out the wind, the fox fur seller would come to his door. He ignored his wife, grabbed the bicycle, and rushed home.
When Zheng Wu arrived home, he saw Zheng Guangming and other brothers greeting Su Mingzhe warmly.
In Su Mingzhe's hand, he held the white fox fur that he had longed for.
"Brother, you saved my brother's life."
Zheng Wu looked at the thick bundle of leather goods and burst into tears.
If Su Mingzhe can't get this pure fox fur again, Zheng Wuzhen will die of panic.
"Fifth brother, fortunately you have lived up to your mission. There are twenty white fox skins in total, which should be enough to make a fox fur."
When Su Mingzhe saw Zheng Wu, he untied the rope that bound the fox fur and let Zheng Wu check it.
Zheng Wu and his clan brothers looked back and forth several times and found that they were all fine fine velvet white fox skins.
"Brother, just wait, I'll get the money for you."
Zheng Wu didn't waste any time, ran into the house, took out the money he had prepared, held it in a blue square cloth, and asked Su Mingzhe to count it.
Su Mingzhe counted very quickly. In just a moment, he counted five bundles and pushed the rest back: "Fifth brother, we agreed on five thousand yuan, but these are too much."
"Brother, not much, not much."
Zheng Wu didn't expect that Su Mingzhe would push the money he got. While he was moved, he pushed the money in front of Su Mingzhe:
"Brother, you don't know something. Brother, I just released a piece of white fox skin on the market for five hundred yuan. You sent me twenty pieces. The money here is exactly ten thousand, no more, no less."
Su Mingzhe was slightly stunned. He came directly from home just now and really didn't know about this. However, he was stunned for a second and then pushed the money back again:
"Fifth brother, you are out collecting the goods today. That is today, but the price we set a week ago cannot be changed. You want credibility, and I want credibility too."
If you say five thousand yuan, then it will be five thousand yuan.
If Zheng Wu dares to lose even one point, he will not let him off easily.
However, if he had one more point, he wouldn't want him.
Su Mingzhe is a time traveler, so he wants to buy his credibility for five thousand dollars. Isn't this ridiculous?
Zheng Guangming and others nearby were stunned when they saw that Su Mingzhe and Zheng Wu were giving each other 5,000 yuan.
In the past, I only heard stories about some people treating money as dirt, but today they have seen the real deal.
However, these brothers were just watching the fun at this time.
Zheng Wu and Su Mingzhe refused to give up the money. As outsiders, it was not easy for them to speak carelessly.
At this moment, Zheng Wu's wife walked in and heard that the two of them were exchanging five thousand yuan with each other. She hated her man's brain and hurriedly came over, saying haha, and persuaded her man.
:
"Shopkeeper, since this little brother insists on paying the price you agreed on, don't waste his kindness."
"You old bitch, what do you know? I've already told you, so you have to give me this money!"
When Zheng Wu saw his wife interjecting indiscriminately, he was so angry that he cursed:
"You don't understand anything, get out of here!"
Zheng Wu's wife really gave Zheng Wu face. After being scolded by her man in front of so many people, she just smiled in embarrassment and went into the house without saying a word.
"Fifth brother, let's not stop the stalemate."
Su Mingzhe saw that Zheng Wu's attitude was also very determined. Thinking of Zheng Wu's reputation in the market for "a promise of a thousand pieces of gold", he could only frown and suggested:
"Give me this money, I definitely don't want it. Since you insist on giving it to me, fifth brother, why not do this? I will use this money to ask my fifth brother to help me build a few shops in the market. These shops will be rented out, and I will receive a monthly fee."
What do you think about donating the rent to schools in our county as scholarships for outstanding students?"
"This method is good! This little brother's method is the best."
Zheng Guangming, who was standing next to him, did not expect that Su Mingzhe would make such a suggestion. As a public official, he was keenly aware of how much help this matter would have to the Zheng family if it was done well.
Zheng Wu did not expect that his cousin Zheng Guangming would agree to Su Mingzhe's proposal.
However, he felt relieved that the money had a place to go.
As an old trader, he has lived half his life with the word "faith".
As long as he can keep his word now, he doesn't have to worry about what to do with the money.
When Su Mingzhe saw this, he stopped staying any longer, picked up his five thousand yuan, put it in his backpack, and said goodbye to everyone.
Zheng Wu and others wanted to invite him to dinner, but Su Mingzhe declined directly.
It took more than a month to collect the fox skins. The Zheng family must be in a hurry to deal with it, so he would not delay the Zheng family's discussion.
After Su Mingzhe left, Zheng Guangming and others took the fox skin to an old craftsman.
This old craftsman performs the primary processing, which is the subsequent processing after the salt-making process.
After the old craftsman took care of it, Zheng Guangming had already contacted his cousin Zheng Yicong.
Zheng Yicong was overjoyed when he heard that the solid-color fox furs were all ready, and it was still fine velvet white fox furs, and he rushed back by train as soon as possible.
When Zheng Yicong and his secretary arrived at Zheng Guangming's home, they saw the white fox skins that they had longed for, spread out on the table one by one.
"Brother, what do you think of this fox fur?"
Zheng Guangming and Zheng Yicong are both people within the system. Zheng Yicong has room for improvement, which means he has made progress.
"Not bad, really good. Thank you for your hard work."
As Zheng Yicong spoke, he asked about the price of the white fox skin: "Is five thousand yuan enough? Don't let Xiao Wu advance money."
On the phone, Zheng Yicong heard that someone had sold twenty white fox skins to Zheng Wu for five thousand yuan.
Zheng Yicong didn't believe it when he saw these white fox skins.
This kind of fine white fox fur can be bought for only five thousand yuan?
"Brother, this white fox fur was indeed bought for five thousand yuan, but there is another story in it."
Zheng Guangming told Zheng Wu and Su Mingzhe about giving away five thousand yuan, frowned and said:
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't asked my fifth brother to go out against the wind, my fifth brother wouldn't have wasted the five thousand yuan."
"Um."
Zheng Yicong nodded after hearing this:
"You can't let the fifth brother pay this money. Let's do this. I didn't bring enough money when I came here. I only brought eight thousand. You can take out another two thousand and give it to the fifth brother."
Zheng Guangming listened and said quickly:
"Brother, I originally planned to make up the money for my fifth brother."
Zheng Yicong didn't care whether what Zheng Guangming said was true or false, he took it seriously.
After taking out the 8,000 yuan he had brought, Zheng Yicong hurried away with the white fox fur and secretary.
Zheng Guangming looked at the eight thousand yuan left by Zheng Yicong, gritted his teeth, dug out his own money, collected ten thousand yuan, and sent it to Zheng Wu's family.
"Lao Wu, I've given you money."
Zheng Wu took Zheng Guangming into the house and was surprised when he saw the ten wads of money Zheng Guangming brought:
"Brother Guangming, why did you give me so much? Didn't Brother Yicong say five thousand yuan?"
Zheng Wu was mentally prepared to lose the five thousand yuan.
"I give you this money, just take it. This is all Brother Yicong's intention. As an older brother, how can I ask you, my younger brother, to advance money for something?"
Zheng Guangming put down the money and gave Zheng Wudao some guidance:
"Didn't Su Mingzhe say that if you want you to use these 5,000 yuan to buy a shop, you can just buy the one in your fur market."
Due to its geographical location, Pujiang's business activities are extremely developed.
The sale and purchase of shops and houses that cannot be seen in other places are also allowed to be traded privately in this county.

After hearing Zheng Guangming's words, Zheng Wu reacted instantly:
"Brother Guangming, you mean that after buying the shop, I will keep it for myself and then donate scholarships to the school according to the market rental price, right?"
"Just understand it yourself."
Zheng Guangming couldn't speak too clearly, so he clicked, turned around and left.
