Chapter 115
At this time in the county government courtyard, if you walked further in from the gate, there were even armed guards!
After the old man took a puff of the cigarette and exhaled a cloud of smoke.
Wang An smiled and said, "Hello, Grandpa, I am a friend of Wu Dong. He asked me to come find him."
Wang An said it very solemnly, but inadvertently, he told a lie!
"I haven't heard of him having any friends here?" The old man was very puzzled, seemingly trying hard to think.
Wang An didn't answer, just smiled and looked at the old man.
After a while, Wang An discovered that this old man's brain might have short-circuited!
Because he had been looking at him for a long time, and the old man was just thinking there without any reaction.
After waiting a while longer, Wang An couldn't help it, raised his voice, and said directly, "Hey, Grandpa, what are you doing?"
The old man seemed dissatisfied at being interrupted by Wang An's voice, rolled his eyes at Wang An, and then took a puff of his cigarette, saying, "Wait, I'll go call him for you."
Then the old man left!
Wang An looked at his watch and waited for a full 24 minutes before Wu Dong ran out, greeting Wang An happily: "Wang An, why did you only come to find me now? That's not very loyal of you!"
"Haha, that's a funny thing to say, as if you’ve been missing me?" Wang An responded with a chuckle, while thinking of that old man.
Then he asked Wu Dong suspiciously, "I waited here for 25 minutes, why did you only come out now?"
Wu Dong was stunned upon hearing this and said very dissatisfied, "It wasn't 25 minutes that long. As soon as Grandpa Cao called me, I ran out, almost kicking my shoes off, running faster than when a big bear chased me. Are you still complaining I'm slow?"
Wang An now had reason to suspect that this Old Man Cao definitely went to take a dump! Either he was constipated or had the runs! He only went to call people after he finished!
Every single day! Forget it, respecting the old and loving the young is a traditional Chinese virtue!
Wang An stopped dwelling on it and smiled, "Brother Wu, I've brought you some good stuff, let you have a good taste of what delicious food and mountain treasures are!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Dong became interested and followed Wang An outside the government courtyard.
The current county government was also made of single-story houses, several rows of them, in a large courtyard!
Walking to the sled, Wang An lifted the sedge grass curtain, revealing the three yellow sheep inside.
"Holy crap, yellow sheep? Is this a yellow sheep?" Wu Dong shouted with an excited face.
Wang An highly doubted Wu Dong's cultural level; shouting "Holy crap" as soon as he opened his mouth was truly insulting to refinement!
He replied with a chuckle, "Yeah, how about it? This thing is damn delicious!"
"Brother, you are loyal. How much money is appropriate for one?" Wu Dong was very happy. Only those who have eaten yellow sheep know what it's like!
"Damn, with our relationship, why would I want money for a few sheep? Giving me money is just slapping your brother in the face!" Wang An said, pretending to be angry.
This actually stunned Wu Dong, who didn't understand what Wang An was trying to do! He took his hand out of his pocket, intending to pay. As a second-generation, he understood as soon as he thought about it: this guy must have something to ask of him!
However, in DJ County, there really weren't many things that could make Wu Dong feel troubled!
Then Wu Dong put away his excitement and stopped paying attention to the yellow sheep, instead just looking at Wang An, seemingly wanting to hear what Wang An had in mind. Wu Dong wouldn't get involved in things he wasn't sure about!
Everyone isn't stupid. As soon as Wang An saw Wu Dong's expression, he knew his little scheme had been completely wasted, so it was better to be direct!
"Brother Wu, it's like this. I got quite a few of these yellow sheep this time, and some wolf meat and red dog meat, so I was thinking of asking you to help me sell them," Wang An said in a flat tone.
"Just this?" Wu Dong's expression clearly relaxed after hearing this.
"Yeah, quite a lot, actually. Must be around seven thousand pounds." Wang An calculated roughly in his heart before saying it.
"Hey! Don't mention 7,000 pounds, even 70,000 pounds wouldn't be a problem. Meat is so scarce right now!" Wu Dong said nonchalantly.
"That's good, then I'll have to trouble you with this," Wang An said with a chuckle.
Then, Wang An drove the sled, carrying Wu Dong, and delivered the three yellow sheep to Wu Dong's residence first!
After coming out of Wu Dong's house, at Wu Dong's request, Wang An took Wu Dong to the government cafeteria.
With Wu Dong there, the cafeteria director agreed very readily to take 10 whole yellow sheep, and the price offered wasn't low either; they were weighed whole, and he actually offered 50 cents a pound!
Subsequently, Wu Dong had Wang An drive the sled to the supply and marketing cooperative. The purchasing director of the cooperative was surnamed Wei, and Wu Dong called him Uncle Wei. During the chat, this Director Wei even scolded Wu Dong a few times.
As a bystander, Wang An could see that this Director Wei clearly didn't treat Wu Dong as an outsider, scolding him just like a junior in his own family, not indulging him at all! And Wu Dong just chuckled, not refuting him.
After the small talk, they explained their purpose. Upon hearing there were dozens of yellow sheep, Director Wei was also very surprised!
As a purchasing director for the supply and marketing cooperative, he knew a lot about these mountain game animals. Yellow sheep tracks are hard to find; sometimes they might not even pass through these mountains once a year. For Wang An to be able to hunt so many was truly remarkable!
Upon hearing there were also wolves and red dogs, he couldn't help but look at Wang An with new respect!
No matter when, capable people will never be looked down upon.
Director Wei calculated in his heart and then said, "Our cooperative only purchases white strips with heads, skins, and internal organs removed. Do you have any issues with that?"
Wang An said without a moment's hesitation, "I have no problem with that, Uncle Wei. I wonder how the price is calculated?"
Director Wei thought for a moment and said, "Yellow sheep are rare after all, let's say 80 cents a pound. For wolves and red dogs, 25 cents, how about that?"
"That's more than okay, Uncle Wei. I’ll definitely get you a yellow sheep to eat no matter what," Wang An said, pretending to be very excited.
Actually, this price was just the normal price, but for Wang An, it was already very good!
Because this belonged to unit procurement, there would be purchase receipts. With such a large transaction volume, he wasn't afraid of anyone investigating, which was the most important thing!
Otherwise, if someone came along with "speculation and profiteering," he would have to go inside and squat, which would be the most damn annoying thing!
"You're trying to drag me into making a mistake, that won't do," Director Wei was clearly happy to hear he was being gifted a sheep, so he said with a smile.
With Wang An's many years of life experience, he had to strike while the iron was hot! It would be so convenient to sell things in the future!
He said with a smile, "That can't be, it's just worthless mountain goods. Besides, a nephew visiting his uncle, bringing a sheep hunted from the mountains, that’s perfectly fine, isn't it!"
"Hahaha, you slippery kid!" Director Wei laughed out loud, seemingly very approving of Wang An's reasoning.
After agreeing to deliver them in two days, which was the day after tomorrow, Wang An and Wu Dong left Director Wei's office.
Walking to the sled, Wang An said to Wu Dong, "Brother Wu, I won't say words of thanks. If you want to eat anything from the mountains, just tell your brother, your brother definitely won't have a second word."
Wu Dong saw that Wang An didn't seem to be faking it, so he said directly, "Since you put it that way, there really is something. My old man said that when he was young, he ate lynx meat once. That lynx meat was all garlic-clove meat, and he wants to taste it again. Brother, please help me keep an eye out."
Hearing this request, Wang An was stunned for a moment. It is well known that tiger cubs are hard to hunt, mainly because felines are too cunning, walking silently, and unless they are starving, they are generally nocturnal and simply cannot be found!
However, why could it be such a coincidence? He had just hunted one!
But the meat of this thing tastes very average. Of course, it's much better than wild leopard meat, but it's not as good as wolf meat. He didn't know why Wu Dong's old man wanted to eat this thing.
So he said with surprise, "Brother Wu, you can definitely divine the future. I really do have one at home. That thing doesn't taste very good, but I'll definitely bring it to you when I deliver the sheep to the cafeteria tomorrow."
"Holy crap, brother, are you that awesome? You can even hunt a lynx!" Wu Dong said, even more surprised than Wang An.
"Coincidence, just a coincidence, hahaha!" Wang An was still very humble.
But it was indeed a coincidence. Even if an old hunter went looking for it specifically, they might not be able to find one!
"Brother, you are definitely the boss now! In a few days, when those two come, we must find you to go into the mountains and play!" Wu Dong said with a smile.
As they were talking, the two had already walked to the sled. Wang An drove the sled, and while pulling the reins, said, "Let's go, Brother Wu, I'll send you back first, then I have to hurry back to skin the sheep."
Wu Dong said, "Haha, okay, let's go, then I won't keep you."
