After driving into the town, Chen Dajiao turned left and right, passed through two narrow alleys, and finally parked the tractor behind a two-story building.

Fang Wei immediately recognized it as Yingbinlou, one of the top restaurants in town.

"We're here! Wait for me here!"

Chen Dajiao threw down a sentence, jumped out of the car, and ran into the kitchen in a flash.

Fang Wei and Yang Qian sat in the trailer waiting.

Yang Qian was so nervous that his palms were covered in cold sweat. He kept wiping his forehead with his sleeve. He had never been to such a big hotel before!

Less than two minutes later, Chen Dajiao led a fat man in his fifties out of the kitchen door.

This man is Mr. Wang, the owner of Yingbinlou Restaurant. He was wearing an apron around his neck, and it was clear that he also worked as a chef at his own restaurant.

"What wild boar?"

As he walked, Boss Wang wiped his hands on his apron, frowning as he said, "Let me tell you, the last batch of goods you brought over was also advertised as wild-caught, but half of them turned out to be domesticated, which caused me to get criticized by the customers!"

He had barely finished speaking when he saw the large wild boar in the trailer.

"Is it really a wild boar?!"

Boss Wang walked to the trailer in a few steps, ignoring the blood all over the truck, and reached out to poke at the wild boar, checking its fatal wounds.

"This person must have just died recently, right?"

As he spoke, he reached out and pinched the wild boar's hind leg. "The meat is quite firm, and the fur is glossy. It seems to be a genuine wild boar raised in the mountains, not a domesticated one."

There's more inside.

Fang Wei pointed to the sack.

"Oh my, you actually caught piglets?"

This little wild boar is much more popular than the big one. Boss Wang rubbed his hands excitedly, untied the burlap sack, and peeked inside.

The three little wild boars huddled together, their fur bright and their eyes black and round.

"Excellent! Absolutely excellent!"

With just one glance, Boss Wang had already decided what dishes to make and who to invite to taste them.

"Boss Wang, I wasn't lying to you, was I!"

Chen Dajiao, beaming with pride, pointed at Fang Wei and Yang Qian and said, "These wild boars belong to my two brothers. They just hunted them down from the mountain before dawn today!"

"Look, the dew on that pig bristles hasn't dried yet!"

Boss Wang glanced at him, then turned to Fang Wei and Yang Qian: "Did you really hunt this wild boar?"

"right."

Fang Wei nodded, handed a cigarette to Boss Wang, and said, "Boss Wang, what do you think of this guy? Can your shop take him?"

"We can accept it."

Boss Wang took the cigarette, lit it on the match Chen Dajiao handed him, took a puff, and then slowly said.

"However, the meat of this wild boar is very tough, so the price will definitely be lower. Moreover, it is not easy to sell in the market. Most restaurants do not cook wild boar meat like I do."

"Boss Wang."

Fang Wei wasn't intimidated by him and said politely, "You're an expert in running a restaurant, so what I have here is definitely nothing special in your eyes."

"However, this sow weighs at least 230 or 240 pounds, with over 100 pounds of lean meat and several dozen pounds of fat."

"And these three little piglets,"

He pulled a piglet out of the sack and showed it to the animals, saying, "Look at the quality of this pig."

"These are pure wild piglets. Whether you slaughter them now or raise them for two months, they are better than domestic piglets."

"Besides, you know that wild boars are hard to catch now, and your family is the only one in town who can get this to eat."

"..."

Boss Wang took another puff of his cigarette. This kid does have some interesting things to say.

"Alright then, for Big Foot's sake, I'll give you a discount of two cents a pound for the big pig, and three piglets for thirty—"

"Boss Wang."

Fang Wei interrupted him directly, saying in a calm and unhurried tone, "I just bought pork a couple of days ago, and it was a little over one yuan per pound."

"Even if wild boar meat is tougher than domestic meat, it shouldn't be this much cheaper, right?"

Chen Dajiao listened anxiously from the side. Although he also felt that two cents a pound was a bit low, as long as the whole animals could be sold together, the money he would make would be quite a lot.

The boss has already set a price, and Fang Wei is arguing with him. If he angers the boss, they might just break up and sell the wild boar somewhere else. Who knows when that wild boar will be sold!

Yang Qian was even more nervous and kept giving Fang Wei meaningful glances, signaling him that it was about time to stop.

"I forgot to mention that earlier."

Fang Wei, seemingly oblivious to their expressions, continued, "From the moment we discovered this sow to the moment she was killed, it definitely didn't take more than five minutes."

Pork that has been scared by a timid person will turn sour.

When he said that, Boss Wang, a master chef, certainly understood what he meant.

"..."

Boss Wang stared at Fang Wei for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter, "Good, good, good! I didn't know you knew these things!"

"Alright then, this sow and these three piglets, one hundred and fifty dollars a day!"

"So, are you selling it or not?"

One hundred and fifty yuan?!

Yang Qian was completely stunned when he heard the number.

Chen Dajiao was also dumbfounded. He originally thought that it would be good if he could sell it for a little over a hundred yuan, but he didn't expect it to sell for a hundred and fifty yuan!

"make a deal."

The price was about what Fang Wei had expected, and he smiled and extended his hand.

Boss Wang shook his hand, then turned and shouted towards the kitchen, "Someone! Bring the pig in!"

Several burly kitchen helpers rushed out and hurriedly carried the large wild boar away.

The three baby wild boars in the sack were also pulled out.

One of the workers was carrying a sack when a piglet kicked him, making him wince in pain.

"Wait here, I'll go get the money."

After saying that, Boss Wang went back to get the money.

When he brought it out, he was holding a large wad of ten-yuan bills in his hand.

Yang Qian stared intently at the large sum of money, his breathing becoming heavy and labored. That was 160 yuan!

Fang Wei took them and carefully counted them one by one; all six were ten-yuan bills, not one missing.

"Boss Wang is a straightforward man; I'll definitely come back to you if I find any good products!"

"OK!"

Boss Wang sized up Fang Wei again and laughed, "You're one of those guys who hangs out in the mountains, right? Well, let me tell you this first: bring me all the good food you can get."

"I'll charge you whatever you haul! The price is absolutely fair!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Wei asked another question: "Does Boss Wang also buy herbs?"

He's been thinking about what to do with that bottle of Gastrodia elata for the past two days, and he doesn't dare to dig it out casually at all.

"Herbal medicine?"

Boss Wang raised an eyebrow, thought for a moment, and then said, "I can't take many of these things. After all, the customers come to eat, not to take medicine."

"However, I have a friend who specializes in collecting medicinal herbs. If you find any good herbs in the mountains, you can bring them over, and I'll help you make the connection."
