Returning to the small mountain village of '86, intelligence updated daily.

These guys have finally arrived, and they've even all gotten together. This is going to be interesting...

Zhou Rui was secretly calculating in his mind. He noticed that Li Dehua's complexion seemed unwell, and he looked very tired.

Deep within his eyes and brows was a strong sense of anger.

Zhou Rui remembered that the other party had been having a conflict with Wang Ermazi these past two days, so it was no wonder things weren't going well.

Li Dehua arrived at the tricycle stall. This time, surprisingly, he didn't point at Zhou Shijie, but went straight to the point:

"Zhou Shiwei, Zhou Rui, where's the deer penis? I want to buy it, and also deer antlers and deer tails, I want them all!"

"Don't tell me this time that someone has reserved it. I heard the villagers talking about it. You just brought it here to sell today. Even if there is, let him come over. I'll negotiate with the highest bidder."

Li Dehua stated his purpose for coming directly, and he no longer used polite terms of address, calling him by his full name.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rui was about to speak when the middleman, An Chengming, immediately became unhappy. Although he had not had much dealings with Li Dehua, he had long heard of the other party's unreasonable behavior and bullying of men and women.

However, he was not afraid. His frequent dealings in these things not only allowed him to build up a network of connections, but also made him less vulnerable than ordinary people.

He simply let out a cold laugh:

"Heh, isn't this our millionaire Old Li? What's wrong? Didn't get enough of sleeping with someone else's wife and are now throwing a tantrum?"

"What a boastful tone! The highest bidder wins? Fine, let me see just how generous our rich man really is."

Zhuang Cai, who worked at the state-run restaurant next door, also disapproved of this behavior and made sarcastic remarks:

"Be careful, Wang Lao Er might go crazy one day, or he'll end up in a bad situation."

"If you want those things, it's a matter of first come, first served. Wait for others to make an offer, and then see how much you bid. But, young man, first pick out fifteen catties of the best venison for me!"

Zhuang Cai, the head of a state-run restaurant in a township, is rumored to have powerful figures from a large restaurant in the county behind him. He often buys wild game from the village and sends it to the county for processing.

Seeing that two people were trying to stop him, Li Dehua, who was already in a bad mood, started gritting his teeth.

"Old Zhuang, don't push your luck! You're trying to take this from me, even though you don't eat it yourself."

"As for that coward Wang Er, do you think I'd be afraid? Give him ten times the courage!"

After saying that, Li Dehua seemed to realize he had let something slip and quickly shut his mouth, but Zhuang Cai still mocked him:

"Hahaha, so you have kidney problems? Are you impotent?"

Li Dehua's face turned pale and then green.

Zhou Rui remained unmoved as he watched the argument between the people in front of him.

Yes, that's exactly how we're going to do it. That way, we can get something out of you.

And you, Li Dehua, what you want most is probably deer antler velvet, right? Hehe, this time I'll make you bleed a lot, or I'm not a Zhou.

The three parties involved are: one is the raw material supplier, so that whether they keep it for their own restaurant or send it to the county town, its value will skyrocket.

One side wanted to acquire the property and profit from the price difference, while Li Dehua himself urgently needed it.

Zhou Rui quickly assessed the group, then calmly turned and instructed his second uncle, Zhou Shijie, to cut the venison.

Let's sell Boss Zhuang's venison first.

After weighing out a sufficient amount of fifteen catties of venison, Zhou Rui smiled and said to Zhuang Cai:

"Boss Zhuang, this is fifteen catties of top-quality venison, all carefully selected. However, we would normally charge you 3.4 yuan per catty for this meat."

"But 4 doesn't sound good, so we'll just charge you 3.3 yuan. What do you think?"

Zhou Rui pointed to the weighed venison, which was all of high quality and included various cuts such as tenderloin and belly meat, but also some ordinary cuts.

Zhou Rui didn't overcharge, but he also didn't let Zhuang Cai take advantage of him. Among these meats, tenderloin accounted for a small proportion; most of them were ordinary meat.

Zhuang Cai stepped forward and flipped through the items a couple of times, making a mental estimate. After a while, he was quite surprised.

Because the price Zhou Rui offered was already close to his bottom line.

Zhuang Cai immediately looked at Zhou Rui with newfound respect, and the thought that this man was not easy to deal with arose in his mind.

However, although it was close to his bottom line price, he couldn't say it out loud. So he frowned and said:

"Young man, others sell it for 3 yuan a pound, but I only charge 3.3 yuan? Do you think I'm a sucker?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rui sneered inwardly. He knew this price very well; it wasn't something he had just casually quoted.

Let alone just 3.3 yuan per pound, even if they buy ordinary meat for 3.5 yuan, they can still make a fortune.

These thoughts flashed through Zhou Rui's mind, but of course he wouldn't say them aloud. Instead, he looked troubled and said:

"Boss Zhuang, look, this isn't ordinary venison. The tenderloin and leg meat are top-notch..."

Before Zhou Rui could finish speaking, Li Dehua suddenly interrupted with a sarcastic remark:

"Oh my, our boss Zhuang can't even part with this little bit of money, that's a bit embarrassing. Why don't you close the restaurant and let someone else have it, and you can come work for me, hahaha."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Rui immediately shut his mouth, pretending it was none of his business, but inwardly he was overjoyed.

Having a mouthpiece is a good thing. Although Li Dehua is quite a beast, his temper can be used to his advantage if it's utilized properly.

The middleman, An Chengming, acted as if it were none of his business. His purpose wasn't to buy meat, so naturally he wouldn't get involved in the dispute.

Other people who wanted to buy venison nearby were watching the spectacle, and then more and more people gathered around to look.

Because Zhou Ruixuan's location is on both sides of the town's main road, there are actually quite a few people coming and going.

Zhuang Cai snorted coldly after being rebuked by Li Dehua, then said to Zhou Rui:

"Then it'll be 3.3 yuan, but you have to give me a discount on the deer tendon."

Zhuang Cai wasn't one to suffer losses, so even though the price was close to his bottom line, he still tried to negotiate.

Zhou Rui nodded and handed the weighed venison to the other party. The other party also took out his wallet and counted out five ten-dollar bills.

Zhou Rui took the money, gave the other person 5 cents in change, and then said:

"I'll charge you 20 yuan per jin for this deer tendon. That's a really good price, and there are only three jin in total."

Zhou Ruizhen carefully took out a bag of collected deer tendons from the tricycle, which weighed a total of three jin.

In fact, Zhou Rui kept one and a half jin for his own consumption. This stuff is good for strengthening the body and bones and is a top-quality tonic. He couldn't bear to sell it all.

Zhou Rui's offer was reasonable; it wasn't cheap, but it wasn't expensive either. Zhuang Cai visibly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, as he was afraid Zhou Rui would overcharge him.

Deer tendons sell much better than venison. If you take them to a big restaurant in the county town and cook them into a finished product, the price will definitely skyrocket.

Just as he was about to buy it without hesitation, Li Dehua spoke up directly:

"Look at you, so stingy! Zhou Rui, I'm offering 22 yuan per jin!"

Li Dehua immediately added 6 yuan to the total price, which stunned Zhuang Cai. He then made no attempt to hide his anger.

"Li Dehua, are you just looking for trouble?"

Seeing the two start arguing again, Zhou Rui felt secretly pleased; the price of 20, which was neither too low nor too high, was intentional on his part!

Since Li Dehua wanted to make up for his physical deficiencies, he would definitely have to spend more money. 20 yuan per catty of deer tendon was obviously not the low price he wanted; he was definitely going to inflate the price.

As expected, everything was developing in the direction Zhou Rui had planned.

Just then, the middleman, who had been silent all along, ignored the dispute between the two and reignited the atmosphere.

"I want deer penis and deer antlers, and I'll pay a high price! I'll offer 80 for one deer penis! We can discuss the deer antlers further; I guarantee you'll be satisfied!"
