Chapter 281: Schadenfreude

Arriving at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang An put all the furs he brought into a large sack.

After scanning left and right, Wang An carried the two sacks and walked toward the cooperative.

Of these two sacks, one was a sack for furs, and the other sack contained 4 double-barrel shotguns and 1 single-barrel shotgun, as well as Wang An's 56-semi.

The single-barrel shotgun was useless, so Wang An brought it along this time.

Of course, in Wang An's coat pocket, there were also 4 bear gallbladders, two gold gallbladders and two grass gallbladders.

Another iron gallbladder and a grass gallbladder belonged to the bear he had killed, and a normal bear's gallbladder is two or three times larger than a black bear's.

So they were drying relatively slowly, and these two bear gallbladders were still in a semi-dried state and couldn't be sold for the time being.

Also unable to be sold were 4 wolf skins and 2 fox skins.

Wang An first came to the place where guns were sold and bought, and without even raising his head, he placed the four double-barrel shotguns and one single-barrel shotgun on the counter.

Most of the sales clerks in this era treated customers with expressionless faces, so Wang An didn't have the intention of sticking his hot face to a cold butt.

Official business is official business; there's no problem as long as you can serve customers, even if you give them a cold shoulder, it's fine.

When Wang An placed these five guns on the counter, he raised his head and said: "These guns are for sale. Please give me an estimate."

However, when Wang An saw the smiling face of the sales clerk, Wang An was stunned for a moment.

Because it was a coincidence that the sales clerk standing behind the counter was the same old brother who had kindly reminded Wang An the last time the three of them bought the 56-semi.

And standing next to this old brother was a young woman who looked very much like him.

And this woman was very beautiful, at the same level as Shen Wei.

After being stunned for a moment, Wang An immediately smiled and said to this sales clerk: "Hello, Big Brother. Thanks for last time."

After Wang An finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and very naturally gave this sales clerk one.

After the sales clerk took a puff, he pointed to the woman next to him and said:

"Hahaha, it's a small matter, don't thank me. Besides, I had a little selfish motive. This is my niece; she'll be working at this counter from now on."

It could be seen that this sales clerk was very happy now and didn't avoid the fact that his niece and he were both working at the supply and marketing cooperative at all.

Wang An smiled and said: "Then congratulations."

"Hahahaha," this sales clerk laughed heartily.

However, after the sales clerk finished laughing, he changed the subject and said to Wang An:

"Congratulations are useless. We still have to handle things officially at the counter, hahaha."

Wang An was stunned upon hearing this. This old brother was quite interesting.

Then Wang An smiled and said: "We must handle things officially; neither of us is that kind of person."

The sales clerk picked up the guns, checking the parts of each gun while teaching his niece how to estimate the price of the guns.

Wang An didn't speak, standing to the side and watching all this.

Finally, the guns were all checked, and the on-site teaching came to an end.

They heard the sales clerk say in a low voice: "Little brother, these four double-barrel shotguns haven't been fired many times; it's a pity to sell them!"

Wang An said with a smile: "I have a 56-semi now, so these things are really useless. The key is that you have to maintain them all the time; it's just a waste of effort."

The sales clerk nodded, then said in an even lower voice:

"If we go through the official account, the cooperative can give at most 350 per gun. If you step out of this door, I'll give you 400 per gun. How about that?"

Wang An instantly understood what was going on upon hearing this. This sales clerk wanted to buy them privately and then sell them privately. After all, the condition of these 4 guns was excellent, and there wasn't a single scratch on the gun bodies.

And the gun stocks were all shiny, and the gun oil on the screws hadn't been wiped clean yet.

If you told someone who didn't know much about guns that these four guns were new, they would definitely believe it.

Wang An thought for a moment and nodded. As long as he could sell them for more money, it didn't matter who he sold them to.

Seeing Wang An nod, the sales clerk's face was instantly filled with smiles, and he said in a low voice: "Half an hour later, I'll wait for you in that corner to the west of the cooperative."

Wang An didn't speak and nodded again. They heard the sales clerk say in a normal voice: "This single-barrel shotgun has average fur, but the parts are good. 150 yuan. What do you think, little brother?"

Wang An was still pondering the double-barrel shotgun matter and was surprised again by the sales clerk's words.

This broken single-barrel shotgun, in this state, could be worth 150 yuan?

Before, Wang An had sold a single-barrel shotgun in better condition for only 120 yuan. F*ck, this is just how things go every day!

Wang An nodded hurriedly and said with a smile: "Thanks, Big Brother."

The sales clerk gave Wang An a wink, smiled, and placed the single-barrel shotgun behind the counter, then wrote a receipt for Wang An to collect the money.

Wang An took the receipt, nodded to this sales clerk, and walked toward the fur purchasing counter with the 4 double-barrel shotguns.

Arriving at the fur purchasing counter, Wang An took out a pile of furs from the sack and placed them on the counter.

The receiver at this fur counter saw that Wang An's sack was emptied, and without saying a word, began to get busy with a wooden board ruler.

Ten-something minutes later, this fur receiver handed Wang An a list. Wang An took it and saw it written:

2 sable furs: 1 for 400 yuan, 1 for 420 yuan, total 820.

5 fox furs: 3 for 70 yuan, 1 for 50 yuan, 1 for 80 yuan, total 340.

11 yellow weasel furs: 8 for 10 yuan, 3 for 5 yuan, total 95.

32 squirrel furs: 26 for 4 yuan, 6 for 2 yuan, total 116.

Total: 1371 yuan.

Wang An knew at a glance that it had only been a few days, and the fur purchasing price had risen a bit.

Sable fur was 350 before, now 400.

Fox fur was 60 before, now 70.

Yellow weasel fur was 8 before, now 10.

Squirrel fur was 2 before, now 4.

Wang An looked at the list in his hand and then looked at the new fur purchasing price list posted on the outside of the counter facing the customers.

All fur purchasing prices had risen a bit, only rabbit fur hadn't risen, still 1 yuan each.

Then Wang An frowned and sucked his teeth hard.

F*ck, how much money did he lose by selling those furs with Mu Xueli a few days ago? F*ck!

However, besides feeling stifled himself, there was no reason to talk about this kind of thing. Not only would no one listen, but it would also make those who heard it feel schadenfreude.

Wang An sighed, returned the list to the receiver, and said: "Write the receipt."

The receiver took the list, wrote a few strokes, and handed Wang An a receipt.

Just at this moment, the receiver who hadn't spoken, while handing the list to Wang An, asked curiously:

"Comrade, you sold so much money, why are you suddenly unhappy?"

Wang An glanced at the receiver and said expressionlessly:

"Because I also sold a lot of furs on the 16th of the first lunar month."

After Wang An finished speaking, he stopped paying attention to the receiver and turned to walk toward the medicinal herb counter.

This receiver was stunned first, and then immediately began to laugh "Hahahaha..."

He laughed until he was leaning back and forth, laughing unscrupulously.

Sure enough, as Wang An expected, the first reaction of a stranger hearing such a thing was f*cking schadenfreude.

It's just human nature, no problem.
