Guangdan's words seemed to ring like a gong in the ears of Mr. Fang and the others, especially Ah He, whose eyes were shining with hope in the dark room.

"If I can read, I can collect leather and sell it? I don't think I can do it." Thinking of this, he became timid again.

Although he was quite smart, he was still a mountain kid after all, and he never thought about collecting skins and selling them outside.

"Do you know my uncle? He works as a peddler during the slack season. Although he doesn't earn much, it's better than doing nothing at home!" Guangdan's brain suddenly turned, and he directly used his uncle as a ready-made example.

"I know that your uncle is a peddler and has been to our village!" The uncle on the kang next to the bamboo curtain also joined the chat group.

"The profit from collecting leather is much higher than that from being a peddler. Our requirements are not high. Cousin Ah He, you should first learn to read and then learn to count.

The purpose of being able to read is to prevent you from being cheated when signing a contract with someone else. You can also understand official documents from the government office on the road. At least you have to understand the contents of the contract!

There is no need to talk about the accounting. When doing business, accounting comes first."

Guangdan smacked his lips after he finished speaking, feeling that he would have another fellow traveler on the road to making money!!!

"Can I do this?" Ah He was obviously moved at this moment, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone that he himself was not aware of.

"Why not? I'm not asking you to take the imperial examination." Guangdan got himself excited as he spoke.

At this moment, the elder brother next to him suddenly said, "Then why don't you want to go to the private school?"

Instantly the room was quiet again, everyone was silent

This is a really good question!!

Guangdan touched his nose and said in a very arrogant way, "I really don't like going to school. Besides, Goudan is doing well in school. It will be enough for him to teach me how to read. As for accounting, I am not bragging. I am gifted in this area. I am very good at accounting."

The Fang family naturally didn't listen to his nonsense about his gifted talent, but his uncle still took Guangdan's suggestion to heart.

Our family's financial situation is pretty good now, so it's not impossible to send Ah He to school to learn a few words.

The next day was still a warm day with the sun shining brightly, but the snow had not melted at all. Nevertheless, Guangdan, wrapped in a rabbit fur hat, followed his cousins ​​to the mountain behind to check the traps.

After days of snow, some small animals in the mountains are so hungry that they come out to look for food, and then they easily fall into hunters' traps.

At this time, the snow in the mountains had reached above Guangdan'er's knees, making it extremely difficult to walk.

Taking extremely heavy steps, Guangdan instantly understood the hesitant expression on his cousin Ahe's face when he left the house.

Just as Guangdan was lifting his short legs, he suddenly felt his body suspended in the air.

Then I found myself being picked up by my eldest cousin and carried on his shoulders. How should I put it? It was a bit like carrying a bag at the dock.

"Hehe, thank you, big cousin," Guangdan smiled awkwardly with a red face, expressing shame for being weak and unable to take care of himself.

"I see you have difficulty walking. We're almost there. If you catch something good today, I'll save it for you guys to eat during the first month of the lunar year." The eldest cousin said casually.

The sound startled the hungry sparrows foraging for food in the forest, adding a bit of vitality to the winter.

There was thick snow in the mountains and the traps were basically covered by snow. The Fang brothers were people who walked in the mountains all year round, so they were able to find the location of the traps.

After turning over four or five traps, we finally got two rabbits, a pheasant and two wild ducks.

"Is this a good harvest?" Guangdan asked while lying on his cousin's shoulder like a noodle when they were returning to the city.

"It's just so-so. We came here to search a few days ago. These things don't often come out in winter, so it's very difficult to find them." As he said this, the eldest cousin sighed.

“I think it’s already amazing!” Guangdan’s eyes were filled with envy!!!

Next, he carefully asked about some techniques of digging traps and started to think about it in his mind.

The eldest cousin remembered after he finished speaking, and quickly reminded: "I came here to check the traps because I am very familiar with the mountains here. If it were a kid like you who is not familiar with it, you might fall into the trap and be unable to get out, and then freeze to death."

"Ah? No, I'll wait until spring." Guangdaner quickly waved his hands to show that he valued his life very much.

The dog next to him was quiet. Firstly, he was a man of few words, and secondly, he was still thinking about Guangdan. Didn't he want to make a brush? Why did he start thinking about hunting again?

The two brothers returned home in the morning of the next day, and their aunt put freshly baked pancakes in their pockets.

It was so hot and fragrant that Guangdan took out the pancake and started chewing it as soon as he left Dafang Village.

This dog tail is really speechless. Is this child really the reincarnation of a starving ghost?

In fact, Gouwei also wanted to eat it, but he was reluctant and wanted to leave it there for a while longer.

The way back was the same as the way here, the snow was too deep so it was very tiring to walk.

"Guangdan, do you think Ah He can really go out and collect skins?" Gouwei thought of the content of last night's conversation and asked curiously.

"Why not? My uncle will help to look after the goods and my two cousins ​​look strong. All he needs to do is learn how to do the accounting." Guangdan thought this was completely feasible.

"But can the skins we received be sold?" Gouwei was afraid that the kid would say something nonsense, which would cause losses to his uncle's family.

"Let's do the math. Even if we only collect rabbit skins first, will the price of rabbit skins in the village be the same as that sold in the county?"

Gouwei shook his head and said seriously: "That's definitely different."

"So, in each village, it's okay even if you only collect rabbit fur and sell it in the county town. If not, just earn less. If it goes well, then collect better materials. If it's hard to sell in the county town, then go to the provincial capital. As long as you dare to do it, you can make money." Guangdan spoke very logically and felt that he was a little business genius.

"Then let's go collect the fur too?" Gouwei thought about it and felt that he could do this himself!

Guangdan couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing this.

"Hahaha, big brother, that's not the case. I don't think our family is good enough. It doesn't matter that we don't know much about raw materials, but that's not the point. The point is, look at the physique of my uncle's family, and then look at our family!

What if we go to the mountains to collect raw materials and get beaten up? I don’t think anyone in our family is very good at fighting, except you and mom.”

This statement was like pouring a bucket of cold water on the excited dogtail. Well, it makes sense.

To put it bluntly, the Fang family is just awesome!

That physique is not afraid of fighting at all! No matter where you go, you are not afraid. Thinking of this, Guangdaner looked at his thin arms and legs again. Oh, they are sore, really sore! ! ! !
