Before he had walked far, he met a few people carrying baskets and looking for wild vegetables. When they heard the noise, they all raised their heads at the same time.

When they saw clearly what was on Lin Donglai's stretcher, they were so shocked that their eyes widened and their mouths opened wide.

"Everyone, look, what is this! Is it a wild boar?"

"It looks like a wild boar. Oh my god, there seems to be a pheasant next to the wild boar."

"This young man is so lucky. He can't even finish eating such a big wild boar. Tsk tsk..."

"This guy doesn't look very strong, but I didn't expect him to be so strong. If we run into a wild boar, we'd be lucky if we don't get hurt, let alone catch it."

Being praised always makes people happy. Lin Donglai was happy and felt full of strength. He dragged the wild boar back.

Watching his back as he walked away, the onlookers slowly dispersed. The brave ones followed his example and climbed up the mountainside, hoping to catch a pheasant or something.

After walking for a long time, Lin Donglai was tired and thirsty. He found a rock to sit on and rest, and went to the space to get some spring water to drink.

The sweet spring water slowly flowed into his stomach, and soon the fatigue in his body disappeared without a trace. He got up and stretched his body, feeling light all over.

He had to continue on his journey. Although he might encounter unknown troubles when he returned home, there were always more difficulties than solutions, so he just had to wait and see.

Observing the reactions of the people along the way, as soon as they saw the wild boar he was dragging, everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to go up and take a few bites of the wild boar meat.

This is a dangerous signal, and if you are not careful, you will end up losing everything.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth, dragged the wild boar with all his strength, and quickened his pace back to the city.

He didn't notice at all that not far away, a pair of jealous eyes were glancing at him and following his back.

Finally arrived at the city gate.

These days, food is in short supply and it is common to have money but not be able to buy what you want.

It is under such conditions that some people often gather around the city gate, such as those who have a little money and want to buy game, or purchasing personnel from some units.

As soon as Lin Donglai dragged the wild boar to the city gate, he attracted a lot of people to gather around him. Everyone was drooling over the wild boar on the rack.

An old man with gray hair and high spirits looked at the somewhat bewildered Lin Donglai and said with a smile: "Young man, did you catch this wild boar by yourself?"

After getting a positive answer, he praised again:

“Looking at your bare hands, I didn’t expect you to be so capable. I haven’t seen such a big wild boar in a long time.

Young man, this pig is big, your family can't finish it, right? Want to sell it? Just sell me a few pounds of meat."

When the people around heard this, they all started asking for some meat. Some wanted two catties, some wanted five and a half catties, and some wanted a pig leg...

Listening to these people talking to each other, Lin Donglai did not say anything. After thinking for a while, he felt that selling the wild boar would be a good thing.

Otherwise, if such a big wild boar was dragged back to the courtyard, everyone would definitely be watching it closely and no one could predict what would happen.

Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the two middle-aged men both took a fancy to the pig's front leg that was not trapped, and after a few words, they started fighting, causing chaos at the scene.

No matter what time it is, it is human nature to join in the fun, and the crowd quickly surrounded the two of them.

Lin Donglai quickly dragged the wild boar towards a less crowded place. Seeing this, a middle-aged man wearing glasses followed him closely.

"Young man, let me help you. Let's go to the side and talk." Without waiting for Lin Dong to reply, he picked up the other end of the rack and led him away.

When they reached a place with few people, the middle-aged man looked around and saw that no one was watching them, so he signaled him to put down his airs as well.

"Young man, you caught these wild boars and rabbits by yourself? You are really capable! By the way, let me introduce myself first. I am Su Zhengsheng, the purchasing manager of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

After adjusting his glasses, he extended his hand politely.

"Hello, Chief Su, my name is Lin Donglai. I caught the wild boar and pheasant myself. I was just lucky." Lin Donglai smiled modestly and shook hands with him.

Section Chief Su nodded and said, "Xiaolin, I want to buy both the wild boar and the pheasant. What do you think?"

After saying that, he seemed to remember something and added, "Don't worry, Xiaolin, the price is negotiable. As long as it's not too much, I can agree to it."

In fact, when Section Chief Su said he wanted to talk to him, Lin Donglai had already recognized him, and of course he knew what he was planning.

In those days, supplies were in short supply and the steel mill was a large factory with tens of thousands of employees, so the workers' food and drink must have been the top priority. One can imagine how important this wild boar was to the purchasing chief.

However, just selling this wild boar to him would not be of much use to me. The most important thing is to establish a good relationship with him and prepare for the future.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Section Chief Su lost his temper and rubbed his hands and asked again: "Xiao Lin, you also know that the steel mill is a large factory. The workers do physical work. They especially need to eat some meat to replenish their physical strength so that they can better serve the public."

"Chief Su, I'll sell this wild boar to you. I won't ask for too much. Just give me the price of meat from the supply and marketing cooperative. But I have a condition."

"What conditions? Tell me." Section Chief Su asked quickly before Lin Dong finished speaking.

Lin Donglai pointed at the hare and said, "I won't sell this pheasant. I have to keep it for my family. And just give me half of the money from selling the wild boar. I hope to use tickets to pay for the other half."

Section Chief Su looked at the big wild boar on the ground, then raised his head to look at Lin Donglai, who looked calm and composed.

He replied, "Xiao Lin, I can agree to your conditions, but we have to take the wild boar to the factory first. Please wait for me and I will call a taxi."

Lin Donglai smiled and nodded, and at the same time heaved a sigh of relief. The market price of wild boar meat is 8 cents per pound, and half of it is at least a hundred yuan. These money can at least support his life for a few months.

Soon, Chief Su called two young men who were watching the fun, pulled a cart over, and several people worked together to lift the wild boar onto the cart.

Lin Donglai was carrying a pheasant and chatting with Section Chief Su as they walked towards the steel rolling mill.

Those resentful and evasive eyes followed them all the time until they could no longer see their backs and then left in hatred.

When we arrived at the backyard of the steel mill canteen, we heard that the purchasing department had bought a wild boar. The whole canteen was in an uproar and everyone ran to the backyard to see what was going on.

Sha Zhu was the first to rush to the backyard. He looked at the wild boar on the car with his eyes wide open: "Wow! I'm in for a treat today."

Then he saw Lin Donglai standing nearby, bared his teeth and asked in confusion: "Boy, why are you in our factory?"

Section Chief Su was asking people to get the scales. When he heard Sha Zhu's question, he frowned and said, "He Yuzhu, be polite. If it weren't for Xiao Lin, our factory wouldn't have any meat to eat today. This is the wild boar he caught."

"Lin Donglai, you are really good. I heard that you went into the mountains to hunt wild rabbits yesterday. Today, you not only hunted pheasants, but also wild boars?"

Sha Zhu looked at Section Chief Su with an expression of noncommittal, then looked at Lin Donglai with confusion. In his mind, this kid from the Lin family was a coward. When did he change so much?

Lin Donglai pretended not to hear, looked at the wild boar on the ground, and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Just then everyone weighed the wild boar, and wow! It weighed 310 kilograms!

The whole backyard was filled with joy and became lively in an instant, and the whole scene was comparable to the Chinese New Year.

Section Chief Su, who was standing next to Lin Donglai, listened to every word Sha Zhu said, and he had an idea in his mind...
