Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

"I brought some wild game with me; it's all on the tractor outside. Manager Niu, would you like to take a look at the goods?" Chen Yongqiang wasn't sure if he would accept them.

The two walked to the restaurant entrance one after the other.

Niu Huadong spotted Qin Liping standing next to the tractor and greeted her with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you came too?"

Qin Liping's face flushed red instantly. She gave an awkward smile but did not respond.

Chen Yongqiang didn't explain much. He stepped forward and lifted the coarse cloth covering the back of the tractor.

Inside the back compartment, several cages woven from thin bamboo strips were neatly stacked.

Inside were several pheasants, rabbits, and two precious hazel grouse, which were flapping their wings restlessly.

When Niu Huadong saw those lively pheasants and rabbits, his eyes widened immediately!

His face lit up with undisguised joy: "Brother Chen! You...you're really...amazing! These are all live, top-quality goods! Especially this roe deer, we haven't seen one in our shop for years!"

Chen Yongqiang ignored his follow-up questions about the source of goods and went straight to the point: "I wonder if Manager Niu will accept them?"

"Buy! Of course buy! Such good live goods, I'll take as many as you have!" Niu Huadong

"What about the price?" Chen Yongqiang was more concerned about this.

"The price is negotiable! No rush!" Niu Huadong waved his hand.

He turned and shouted into the restaurant, "Chef Tan! Chef Tan! Come out and see! We've got some really good stuff!"

Not long after, Chef Tan, the same master chef from last time, came out wearing an apron.

Seeing the live creature in the cage, he nodded to Niu Huadong and whispered a few words to him.

Niu Huadong then turned back to Chen Yongqiang, flashing an even warmer smile: "Brother Chen, the goods are top-notch, no doubt about it! Shall we go inside, sit down, and discuss the price?"

"Brother Yongqiang, you go inside and talk. I'll stay here and watch the car and the stuff," Qin Liping said cleverly.

Chen Yongqiang followed Niu Huadong into a small office at the back of the hotel.

Niu Huadong poured him a glass of water and then got straight to the point, stating the price: "We used to buy frozen goods by weight, one yuan per jin. Yours are live and fresh, so we'll buy them for one yuan and twenty cents per jin, how about that?"

Chen Yongqiang didn't reach for the cup: "Manager Niu, I won't beat around the bush. I don't have time to weigh them, and it's not cost-effective. Pheasants, rabbits, and hazel grouse are five yuan each. As for that roe deer, it's two hundred yuan short, let's not discuss that."

Pheasants and hazel grouse are not very big, each weighing a little over two pounds. According to Niu Huadong's calculation, they can only sell for a maximum of three yuan.

The rabbits were larger, but the rabbit pelts were worth more, so Chen Yongqiang quoted a flat price of five yuan, which was reasonable.

Niu Huadong clearly hadn't expected Chen Yongqiang to be so direct, and to offer such a firm price:

"Brother Chen, isn't this price a bit too high? In business, we need to consider the market rate, right?"

"Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. If Manager Niu thinks it's too expensive, then I'll just have to look elsewhere." Chen Yongqiang stood up, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Hey, hey, Brother Chen, don't rush, sit down, sit down and talk slowly!" Niu Huadong quickly walked around the table and gestured to stop him.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Master Tan give him another quick wink at the door, the meaning of which was crystal clear.

This creature is extremely rare; if you miss this one, you'll probably never find another like it in the entire county.

Niu Huadong's smile became more genuine: "Brother Chen, that's not what I meant. It's just that your price is really putting me in an awkward position."

"Who told our Master Tan to take a liking to your stuff at first sight? He said that if this stuff were delivered alive, the flavor would be worlds apart, and it's worth the price! Okay, it'll be the price you asked for."

"But Brother Chen, we have a deal: if you get any more good stuff like this in the future, you have to give it to me first!"

Chen Yongqiang finally smiled and sat down again: "Manager Niu is very straightforward. As long as the price is right, we'll naturally send the goods to you first."

He naturally knew a thing or two about doing business, and Niu Huadong's quick agreement was simply because he was interested in the scarcity of living creatures.

As long as this guy surnamed Niu doesn't pull any tricks in the future, this can be considered a stable path.

Niu Huadong turned around, took out an abacus from his desk drawer, and started clicking away. "Seven pheasants, five rabbits, two hazel grouse, five yuan each... seventy yuan, a live wild boar, fifty yuan, a roe deer, two hundred yuan. That's three hundred and twenty yuan in total. Brother Chen, is the amount correct?"

Chen Yongqiang, who could calculate very quickly in his mind, nodded: "That's right."

Niu Huadong didn't hesitate. He immediately opened the metal cabinet, took out several stacks of banknotes, counted them in front of Chen Yongqiang, and handed them over: "Three hundred and twenty, count them."

Chen Yongqiang took the money, counted it, and after confirming that everything was correct, put it in his inner pocket. Only then did he extend his hand to shake hands with Niu Huadong.

"It's been a pleasure working with Manager Niu."

"Great cooperation! I'll get some help!" Niu Huadong personally escorted Chen Yongqiang to the door and then called two of his men out to assist.

Chen Yongqiang helped carry the cage to the entrance of the restaurant's kitchen, and deliberately stopped to give Niu Huadong, who had followed him out, a word of advice:

"For these animals, just feed the pheasants and rabbits some grains and vegetable leaves, don't overfeed them. Be a little more careful with the roe deer, give it some cabbage leaves, and make sure it has clean water."

"Young man, you know your stuff. Don't worry, we won't treat them badly." Niu Huadong thought that as long as he notified the old customers, they would probably sell out in less than two days.

Chen Yongqiang then stopped talking and turned to walk towards the tractor.

When Qin Liping saw him coming over, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Brother Yongqiang, have they all been sold?"

"Okay," Chen Yongqiang replied and went to start the tractor.

The tractor turned onto another, slightly more congested street in the county town. "Come with me to the market; we still have some wild boar meat to process."

Those large, high-quality wild boar meats, sold individually to discerning residents, would definitely fetch a higher price.

She nodded: "Okay, whatever you say."

The vegetable market in the county town was noisier than the main street. Chen Yongqiang found a spot near the intersection with lots of people and parked his tractor.

He lifted the coarse cloth covering the other corner of the truck bed, revealing neatly cut chunks of wild boar meat underneath.

Unlike the vendors next to him, Chen Yongqiang didn't shout out his wares; he simply placed a few pieces of meat in a conspicuous spot on the edge of the truck bed.

The unique appearance of the wild boar meat quickly attracted attention. A well-dressed elderly woman carrying a shopping basket approached and looked at it: "Young man, how much is this meat?"

"One yuan eighty cents a pound, no coupons required," Chen Yongqiang quoted the price.

"This is much more expensive than the pork I bought with ration coupons at the state-run butcher shop," the old lady said, touching the texture of the meat with a look of disdain.

"It's wild boar meat, all from small wild boars weighing several tens of kilograms, and it doesn't have a fishy smell."

She hesitated for a moment, then pointed to one of the pieces that was marbled with fat and lean meat: "Give me this piece, let me weigh it."

Once the first customer arrived, onlookers gradually gathered around.

Wild game is rare, especially since the meat looks fresh and clean. Although the price is high, it is not unacceptable for families with some wealth who are particular about food.

Chen Yongqiang was in charge of weighing and collecting money, while Qin Liping helped collect money from the side with her bag on her back. The two worked together seamlessly.

In less than an hour, most of the wild boar meat in the truck bed had been sold.
