Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

Yue Feng's heart skipped a beat. He pressed himself against the outer wall and listened quietly to the commotion coming from the doorway.

At this moment, Li Yinhua's firm voice came through.

"Chunlin, what are you yelling about? How did I tell you that everyone, whether they're buying or delivering vegetables, has to line up and be treated equally!"

Hearing this, Yue Feng was slightly taken aback.

Li Yinhua doesn't seem to be as bad as her parents say; she actually has some principles.

At this moment, an unfamiliar villager muttered, "Oh dear, we only have a small amount of wild vegetables, and Xiao Li is pushing the cart. It's no big deal to let him have priority! Manager Li, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it!"

"Old Sun is right, we're all family here, what's wrong with cutting in line! Little Li, you go ahead of me, I'm not in a hurry!"

When Li Chunlin heard the two villagers' "kind" concession, he said to his older sister, "Hehe, sister, did you hear that? It's not that I cut in line or was being unreasonable. It's just that our uncles and elders saw that I was having trouble pushing the cart, so they let me have my way!"

"That won't do. Get in line at the back! Everyone here is shoulder to shoulder with you. Why should you cut in line? Just because you're my brother? This is a public business, not our Li family's business!"

Li Yinhua frowned and glanced at her younger brother, but still didn't budge.

Li Chunlin was slightly taken aback when he heard his older sister's words.

Normally, my older sister isn't like this. When he comes to deliver goods every day, she always cuts in line and gets priority treatment.

No one in the village dared to say anything, and some even took the initiative to be friendly. Why did the older sister seem like a completely different person today?

To be honest, this situation is a bit distressing; there's always a reason why someone is pitiful.

The villagers who delivered the goods made concessions because of Li Yinhua's influence.

Li Yinhua can gain real financial benefits by slightly raising her standards in terms of rating and weight.

They're all shrewd people; how could they not understand the intricacies of this?

Yue Feng listened quietly for a while by the wall outside the queue, and he already understood what was going on.

Judging from Li Chunlin's condition, this was definitely not the first time, but Li Yinhua didn't give him the green light today, probably because Yue Feng had returned and had just shown up at the purchasing and sales point.

From Yue Feng's perspective, this isn't a major problem. If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. As long as Li Yinhua can maintain a proper balance, this small detail is understandable.

In contrast, Li Chunlin didn't quite understand his older sister's attitude.

"What do you mean, sis? Uncle Wang already told me to line up at the front, why are you insisting that I line up at the back!"

Li Yinhua gave her younger brother a stern look and muttered in a slightly harsh tone, "Just go when I tell you to! Why are you asking so many questions! Hurry up and don't block the door and delay the progress!"

At this moment, Yue Feng leaned over and said casually, "Hehe, since the people in front have no objections, let them cut in line. It's not a big deal!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chunlin turned around abruptly and glanced at Yue Feng.

Li Yinhua's gaze swept over at almost the same time.

"Are you Secretary Yue Feng?" Li Chunlin asked in a deep voice after recognizing Yue Feng's face.

"It's me! You must be Li Chunlin? I heard that your 'Cleaver Team' has become a secondhand vegetable vendor?" Yue Feng looked directly at Li Chunlin and asked in a relaxed tone.

The two were definitely the same age, roughly the same age, but when their eyes met, Li Chunlin felt that Yue Feng gave off a different vibe than other people his age.

"What, do we at the purchasing and sales point need to trace the origin of wild vegetables when we buy them?" Li Chunlin asked rhetorically.

Yue Feng had thought about this problem while he was on the mountain.

"In the past, the rules and regulations for purchasing and selling vegetables only considered the quality of the vegetables, regardless of their origin!"
But for Aunt Li's sake, I want to remind you, the cleaver gang isn't a good group. If you can get out, you should get out as soon as possible!

"That's a really bad way to put it. I collect vegetables from the villagers and deliver them, and even Uncle Hat doesn't care. You, a village secretary, are you going to interfere in our group's affairs?"

At this moment, Li Yinhua hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over: "Chunlin, how can you talk to Secretary Yue like that! Secretary Yue, please don't take it to heart. My brother speaks bluntly, but he didn't mean any harm!"

Yue Feng ignored Li Yinhua's words and instead took a few steps to Li Chunlin's side, lowering his voice to whisper in his ear, "Go back and tell your boss, Luo Dapao, if you don't want trouble, stay quiet and don't mess with me!"
I don't care if you're a musketeer squad or a cleaver squad, if you dare to reach out to me again, I'll chop you off!
Also, starting tomorrow, we're adding a new rule at our purchasing point: we will no longer accept vegetables delivered by the kitchen knife team!
"It's not easy for the villagers to gather wild mountain produce and vegetables; we're not giving them land to you to extract oil from!"

"you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chunlin's eyes widened, and his anger visibly flared up.

"Remember what I said, I'm leaving! Aunt Li, notify the other purchasing and sales points that they need to meet at the village office at 8 PM tonight for a meeting!"

Li Yinhua quickly replied, "Okay! I'll go arrange it!"

After Yue Feng had walked away, Li Yinhua approached her younger brother anxiously and asked, "What did Secretary Yue say to you just now?"

Li Chunlin gritted his teeth and said, "What he says doesn't matter. I can tell from his eyes that he doesn't want to continue working peacefully at your sales point!"

"Please take your time weighing these vegetables, I'm leaving now! I'll leave the cart at your place for now!"

After saying this, Li Chunlin didn't even settle the money for selling the vegetables, and strode towards the edge of the village.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

The three brothers, Xiao Tao, Xiao Wen, and Xiao Wu, have all returned from gathering intelligence.

After gathering a general overview of the information regarding the "cleaver team," Yue Feng gained a more comprehensive understanding of the situation.

This knife-wielding gang not only monopolized the pricing of some wild vegetables at their place of origin, but also extended their reach to various game stalls on the black market.

Yue Feng's own restaurant now also collaborates with some wild game hunters who deliver the food to the surrounding areas.

Previously, procurement was done at a uniform standard price, but now, if you get blocked by those people on your way down the mountain, you have to pay a portion of the money.

In addition, Xiaowen learned from a close friend that Luo Dapao from the kitchen knife gang and Liu Ruifeng, the current owner of the Grand Hyatt Hotel, were sworn brothers.

This Liu Ruifeng is the brother-in-law of the second-in-command. And the second-in-command is mainly responsible for matters related to Zhengfawei.

Now, without needing to think too deeply, Yue Feng understood what was going on.

With their superiors as their backers, no wonder the knife-wielding gang is so rampant; they're fearless because they have nothing to fear.

"Boss, what do you suggest? If you ask me, just tie up that idiot Luo Dapao and beat him up. If he dares to bare his teeth, just break his legs!" Xiao Tao muttered angrily.

Yue Feng didn't rush to answer, but said slowly, "I heard from my master that the Military Control Commission seems to be going to be disbanded!"
I warned Li Chunlin, the vegetable deliveryman, this morning. If he's smart, he'll definitely report this to Luo Dapao!
I'll go into town later and ask Tiger about the specifics. We'll talk about it later!

The matter of my older brother being beaten has been settled by the other party paying compensation. It's no longer effective for us to use this as an excuse, and we might even be accused of something!

You guys keep a close eye on the trucks delivering vegetables. If you don't have anything else to do, take your guns and follow the escort trucks on a few night runs.

I bet if we stay calm and don't make a move, they'll definitely get impatient and cause trouble on their own!
Our current weakness lies in transporting wild vegetables out of the area, as well as the restaurant business.

There are many people at the restaurant, so even if they cause trouble, they won't dare to go too far.

The transportation of wild vegetables is different; there's more room for maneuver there.

"That Liu Ruifeng is sending people to cause trouble and disrupt our business, isn't he? We still have our trump card up our sleeve!"

Xiaowen asked, "What's the big move?"

"Let's take a trip into the mountains when we have some free time and hunt a wild boar with Solomon's seal. We'll make it a limited-edition specialty dish at our restaurant! When it comes to business warfare, I can't crush them!"

After hearing this, Xiao Tao grinned and said, "Hehe, this will definitely work! I was wondering before why they didn't put the pork with Solomon's Seal in restaurants. Turns out they were saving it as the grand finale!"

"When are we going into the mountains? It's not as easy to get around there as it is in winter now. Hunting wild boars will be much more difficult than in winter!" "Wait for my call tomorrow or the day after!"

……

After a brief meeting, Yue Feng disbanded the team and then rode his bicycle to Wang Hu's house in the city.

The military control committee compound, which used to be a lively residential area of ​​bungalows, was noticeably quieter when Yue Feng came over this time.

I strolled around the alleyway and found that almost all the doors were locked.

However, when the motorcycle was parked in front of Wang Hu's house, the door was not locked from the outside.

Yue Feng got out of the car, parked it, and then knocked on it several times.

"Who?"

"Brother Tiger, it's me, Yue Feng, I'm back!"

"Damn it! Wait a minute, the door's locked from the inside. I'll get the key and open it for you!"

Soon, Wang Hu darted out of the house in his slippers.

"Hey kid, when did you get back?" Wang Hu greeted Yue Feng with a warm bear hug.

"You got off the train last night! Is everything alright at home?" Yue Feng asked.

"All is well. My nephew and his wife have gone to Harbin. I still have some things to hand over!"

"I heard from Grandpa Wu that the Military Control Commission has been disbanded? What's the situation on your end? Is it going to be disbanded too?"

Wang Hu replied, "That's true! The military control commissions in other provinces were abolished long ago, but the three northeastern provinces have maintained them until now because of their special geographical conditions!"
The requirement from above is to complete the entire handover by July; after that, the Military Control Commission will no longer exist!
As for me, my father transferred me to Harbin to work at the Veterans Affairs Bureau, which is considered a sinecure!

From now on, it'll be a hassle for us brothers to see each other again; it'll take a whole day to drive there!

Hearing this, Yue Feng nodded.

At this moment, Yue Feng hesitated somewhat, wondering whether he should bring up the matter of the kitchen knife team and Liu Ruifeng with Brother Hu at this critical juncture.

The disbandment of the officers' association is a significant blow to the Wang family's influence, and it's unclear whether it has caused any serious damage.

"What's wrong? You look so preoccupied! Is something the matter?" Wang Hu glanced at Yue Feng and asked cheerfully.

"If you leave here, I won't have any backing in Fengcheng!" Yue Feng said quietly.

"What are you talking about? I'm just leaving, not dying, what's there to be afraid of! The day before yesterday, Grandpa called me and said you visited our home and that he approves of and supports what you're doing now!"

"Yes! We even had a family dinner at home!"

"Don't worry, the old man has disciples, old friends and comrades all over the place. Even if I leave Fengcheng, no one will dare to bully us!"

"Just call me if you need anything, it's always available!"

"So, after you leave, which of our leaders here are our own people who can speak to us? I've met some of them before, but there are quite a few I haven't dealt with yet!"

"Except for Zhou Xueming, the second-in-command who was transferred from elsewhere, everyone else in the leadership team is one of our own!"

"You just stay put. As long as we're in the right, anyone who dares to bare their teeth will be dealt with!"

"it is good!"

……

Yue Feng stayed at Wang Hu's house for more than two hours and talked about a lot of things from beginning to end. However, he hesitated for a long time before mentioning the incident at the restaurant and the knife gang.

The second-in-command isn't one of their own, but the person they have a conflict with is his brother-in-law.

I want more inches, more inches, it's so infuriating!

It was a sensitive period concerning the transfer of power, and things weren't as easy as Wang Hu made them out to be. Yue Feng didn't want to lose more than he gained for a small gain.

……

On the other side, Li Chunlin, who had been whispered to by Yue Feng, turned around and found his older brother Luo Dapao.

Luo Dapao's residence.

"Brother, I went to deliver goods this morning, and that bastard Yue Feng challenged me to a showdown!" Li Chunlin said indignantly, a cigarette dangling from his lips.

Luo Dapao, with his arm around a fair-skinned, plump woman on the bench, squinted and asked, "What's going on?"

He said, "From now on, when our kitchen knife team delivers vegetables, we will no longer accept them! We will also no longer be allowed to accept vegetables at low prices!"

He doesn't look that old, maybe around my age. How about we gather a few people and teach him a lesson?

"Isn't your sister a manager at the sales outlet? Will things get out of hand if we make a big fuss?"

“I taught him a lesson once and for all. How dare he take his anger out on my sister?”

"You don't know, that kid was probably faking it when he talked to me. If it weren't for my sister's sake, I would have punched him on the spot!"

“You can’t do it this way. If you beat up Yue Feng, the business will continue unaffected!”

The key to purchasing and sales points is the delivery vehicle.

So, you take a few brothers and block their delivery truck on its way to Tiecheng! That'll teach them a lesson they won't forget!

"The night shift?"

"Yes, don't announce the number, and don't be polite. Cut them down and push the cart into the ditch!"

"Alright, I'll make the arrangements right away. Damn it, I'll personally lead the team and let Yue Feng know what I'm capable of!"

"Go ahead, be careful! Take these cigarettes and give them to the brothers!"

Before leaving, Luo Dapao tossed a whole carton of unopened Ginseng Brand cigarettes to Li Chunlin.

After Li Chunlin left with the cigarettes, the plump woman whispered, "Dapao, didn't Brother Feng say we shouldn't fall out with Yue Feng and the others?"
He's the godson of the Wang family patriarch; if you offend him too much, you won't be able to protect yourself from the consequences!

Luo Dapao shrugged indifferently: "Even if he doesn't report the number, he'll know who did it! Even if it's a member of the Wang family, there has to be evidence, right?"

Besides, the military control commissions have been disbanded, and the power of local officials will shrink in the future. Local officials will be more powerful than county officials. Let's just test the waters!

In my opinion, Yue Feng's group didn't have any particularly impressive achievements; they're probably just a paper tiger!

……

On the other side, Li Chunlin took a cigarette and went out the door, immediately going to arrange for his underlings to do some work.

He gathered his core subordinates together for a brief meeting, and then the six of them, carrying kitchen knives and homemade guns, went off to scout out the location.

According to usual practice, the delivery truck is usually loaded in the evening and will depart for the neighboring city of Tiecheng by 8 p.m. at the latest.

The car goes and returns on the same day, and the fresh wild vegetables can reach tables everywhere through distribution channels early the next morning.

Li Chunlin and his men lay in wait on the only road they could take. (End of Chapter)
