Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

The stall owner thought for a moment and said, "How about you add a little more? It's not easy to come across this sable. I haven't come across it many times. I'll sell it to you if you add a little more!"

Zhong Shan didn't waste any words and took out 200 yuan from his pocket. There were 10 yuan a piece and 20 yuan a small dozen. "Here is 200 yuan. Do you want to sell it? If you sell it, I will take the things and leave. If not, I will turn around and leave!"

When the old man saw the 200 yuan, he immediately said, "Okay, okay, you are a good talker. I'll sell it to you for 200 yuan!"

The old man didn't lose anything. He took the 200 yuan, counted it repeatedly, and happily put it in his pocket. Zhongshan's trip with a small bag of leather was not in vain!

Neither of them lost out. For example, if they saw two sable skins they liked in Sijiu City, they would sell them for more than that price. However, Zhongshan couldn't sell them either.

Zhong Dahai didn't say anything when they were buying. He didn't understand and didn't know the price. After Zhong Shan finished buying, when they were walking back, Zhong Dahai said, "This is too small. It would be fine if we could get a piece of clothing together, but it looks like we can't!"

Zhong Shan said, "Come back tomorrow and see if we can get enough. If we can't afford a waistcoat, it's fine. It won't be a wasted trip."

Zhong Dahai thought so too. We will still be here for a few more days, so we might as well collect whatever we can.

The two returned to the guesthouse and walked for another half a day. After arriving at the guesthouse, they tidied up and heard a noise coming from next door. It should be someone who had just returned from Pigeon City!

Zhong Shan packed up his things and put them aside. Zhong Dahai had just finished cleaning the house. Most of his money was spent on the house, and now he was alone, so there was nothing to buy.

Nothing happened that night. During the day, Zhong Shan either rested in the guesthouse or visited Song Wenqing's home. It is worth mentioning that the relationship between Zhong Dahai and Zhong Shan's brother-in-law Song Wenqing is getting better day by day.

I continued to wander around the Pigeon Market in the evening. After two days in Zhongshan, I didn’t see any good things, nor did I encounter sable fur. I did come across a few ordinary ones, and I bought them all, so it wasn’t a wasted trip.

Zhongshan bought back a few more smooth wolf skins, which was not bad.

Time flies. In a blink of an eye, the goods for return have been prepared. I will go to pick up the goods tomorrow and then return to Sijiu City.

That night the two of them went to the Pigeon Market again. Zhongshan focused his main attention on fur. He also wanted to see if there were any mink furs. It would be best if he could get enough to make a piece of clothing. If not, there was nothing he could do. He could only make a waistcoat.

The Pigeon Market is still the same. Zhong Shan estimates that more than half of the people are the organizers of the Pigeon Market, who come to sell goods. A few of them sell some prey or game they have hunted in exchange for food.

Occasionally, you can see some wild boar meat, but Zhongshan didn't buy it. Wild boar meat is not delicious, it is smelly and dry, not tasty at all. Zhongshan is not short of meat to eat, so it is naturally not worth buying wild boar meat.

However, Zhong Shan did buy a few pheasants when he saw them, and occasionally he would see a few flying dragons, which were rare wild game. Zhong Shan bought all of them and then went back to put them in his space. He bought so many things that no one paid attention to the pheasants.

Today is the last day here. If there is nothing else, Zhongshan plans to go back early, go to bed early, and get some rest. He will probably have to sleep in the inn again tomorrow and won’t be able to rest well.

In fact, after transporting the goods to Fengtian that day, Zhongshan's mission had been completed and he could go back at any time. However, no matter how anxious he was, one or two days would not matter. He could just go back with the car. A trip to the Northeast would require at least two days, so it was not worth it to take the train back by himself.

The pigeon market still has the same things. There should be other pigeon markets in Fengtian City, but I don’t know where Zhongshan is. I’m not familiar with the place, so I didn’t walk around. I have seen everything in this market.

Just when Zhong Shan was a little disappointed and was about to go back, his eldest brother Zhong Dahai said, "Hey, look, there's something new!"

Zhong Shan followed Zhong Dahai's gaze and saw that there were indeed new things. The stall owner was a man in his 40s who looked very capable. There were not many things on the stall in front, but Zhong Shan's eyes widened after taking a look.

On the stall was a tanned tiger skin with a head. You could tell the craftsmanship was good and the tiger head looked lifelike, which was quite scary.

On the side, there are some tiger heads and a tiger whip.

Apparently, they had captured a tiger and sold all of it except the meat.

Zhong Shan squatted in front of the stall and looked at the tiger skin. This was the only thing he could look at. He didn't understand the other tiger bones and tiger whips. He just believed what others said and could only hope that the man in front of him didn't lie to him.

"Dude, can I touch it?"

The man looked at Zhong Shan and saw that he looked like he could afford it. "Okay, touch him as you like, but be gentle."

Zhong Shan touched the tiger skin on the ground. Maybe it was a psychological effect, but he just felt something different. Zhong Dahai beside him also reached out and touched it. There is no man who doesn't like this.

After a while, Zhong Shan asked, "What are those things next to it? How are they sold?"

"These are all the tiger's head and penis. Almost all of them are here. Which one do you want to buy?"

After Zhong Shan heard it, he thought it was similar to what he thought, but he just didn't know whether it was true or not: "Can I take a look?"

"Casual!"

Zhong Shan picked up a tiger head, which was quite scarlet and heavy. Zhong Shan didn't know how to identify it, but he had been bombarded with internet knowledge after all, so he pretended to be very serious.

"How much do you sell this tiger skin and this pile together?"

When the man heard that this was a big customer, he decided to buy everything so he wouldn't have to wait here. He could just buy everything earlier and get the money and go home!

"If you buy all of them, the package price is 600 yuan. These are all from a tiger. They are guaranteed to be real!"

Zhong Shan thought about it, he didn’t know whether the money was a lot or a little, and he didn’t know the market price, but this thing was becoming less and less in the country, so if I saw it and no one cared about me, I wouldn’t buy it.

"Can you make it cheaper? How about 500?"

Zhong Shan tried to ask!

Before he could react, the man readily agreed: "Okay, I'll sell it to you!"

Zhong Shan was stunned after hearing this. Did he buy it too expensive or what? Why was it so easy?

Zhong Dahai on the side was also stunned. They were both complete laymen and they didn't know what the exact price should be.

The man looked at the two of them in a daze: "Hey, are you two going to buy it or not?"

Zhong Shan heard this and said, "Okay, let's buy it. I named the price and they agreed. There is no reason not to buy it."

And even if it’s too expensive, it doesn’t matter. Zhongshan doesn’t lack the money, and the things are really good. If he keeps them, they will be worth the money sooner or later.

After Zhong Shan took out the money, he handed it to the stall owner, who was counting the money. Zhong Dahai looked at Zhong Shan with some curiosity. He and Zhong Shan lived in the same room, but he didn't notice how Zhong Shan carried so much money with him.

After counting several times, the man took a bundle and wrapped the tiger skin, tiger bones and tiger whip.

"I'll give you the item, and we'll pay you for it. But I really didn't lie to you. The item is real. I made it myself, and I tanned the tiger skin myself."

For the sake of money, the stall owner explained the situation to Zhongshan before giving him the things, which put Zhongshan at ease.
