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

The sale of meat continues, but the sale of rare items has now evolved into a three-way competition.

A middleman who engages in speculation and profiteering, a restaurant owner, and a wealthy person with tens of thousands of yuan who urgently needs to recuperate.

The current situation is a result of Zhou Rui's actions; he understands the principle of not putting all your eggs in one basket.

So after leaving the Zhao family and learning that Zhao Jianjun was not there, he raised up the huge antlers that symbolized the water deer so that everyone in the village could see them.

In this way, news of their successful hunt of the water deer would spread quickly and reach the ears of Li Dehua, a wealthy man with ten thousand yuan.

When they arrived at the market, Zhou Rui chose the intersection with the highest foot traffic, where there were state-run restaurants and many wealthy people would gather.

Selling water deer here will attract target customers more quickly, thanks to Zhou Rui's intentional or unintentional verbal guidance and his judgment of each person's personality.

Ultimately, it would evolve into a small "auction," although this idea would never be in the minds of villagers these days.

However, Zhou Rui had seen a lot in his previous life.

Therefore, the situation on the field has now evolved into a three-way battle.

This scene attracted the villagers to stop and watch, and wherever there were villagers, there were those who were willing to spend money on nourishment.

As long as such people exist, ordinary venison can be sold quickly.

True treasures can also increase in price when purchased by three parties...

Zhou Rui sold venison to passersby while chatting with them.

This is how Zhou Rui answered An Chengming's question about the middleman.

"I left the deer antlers, deer penis, and deer tail at home; they were meant for Uncle Zhao."

This statement is absolutely true. Zhou Rui will definitely leave something for Zhao Jianjun. Moreover, Zhou Rui's plan is to leave the most precious deer antlers for Zhao Jianjun to sell.

Firstly, it can further solidify the relationship; secondly, this kind of thing really needs Zhao Jianjun to step in and sell it for the price to reach its current highest point.

The only valuable thing Zhou Rui brought was three catties of deer tendon.

Upon hearing this, the three of them couldn't sit still, especially Li Dehua and Zhuang Cai, who were engaged in a verbal battle.

"Young man, that's not fair. You're leaving them all at home, how are we supposed to buy them?"

Zhuang Cai spoke first, followed by Li Dehua, who became even more excited.

"Hey Zhou Rui, when we go back together later, sell it to me. I'll pay 100 for this deer penis!"

Li Dehua seemed quite generous, adding 20 yuan to the price charged by the middleman.

He felt that with such a large increase, Zhou Rui should be intimidated. In his mind, Zhou Rui's family were just country bumpkins who had never seen such a price increase before.

However, he clearly underestimated Zhou Rui's vision. Not to mention that Zhou Rui had memories of his previous life, even his father, Zhou Shiwei, would not think that 100 for this deer penis was a high price.

Li Dehua is too arrogant.

Buying this deer penis for 100 yuan is a normal price. In most rural towns, as long as you negotiate well, you can get it for around 80 or 90 yuan.

Once you get to the county town, 100 yuan is a very normal amount.

However, Zhou Rui's ambitions didn't stop there. He hesitated and said:

"Uncle Li, these things really should be saved for Uncle Zhao. He has already paid a deposit, and it's really a bit difficult for him."

Zhou Rui said it was a bit difficult, which made his meaning clear: as long as you can afford the price, everything is negotiable.

But before Li Dehua could speak, An Chengming, the middleman, rolled his eyes and immediately raised the price.

"Young man, I'll offer you 110 yuan. That's a lot of money. Even if you take it to the county town to sell, you'll probably only get that much, or even less."

An Chengming's words were half true and half false.

Zhou Rui shook his head again.

Zhuang Cai, who was standing nearby, also chimed in with a comment:

"I'll offer 130 yuan. There's a customer in the county who recently spread the word that if anyone has this kind of supplement, he'll buy it at any cost. He'll also give me a reward later."

Whether Zhuang Cai's words were meant to stir up trouble or he actually knew such a person, he certainly seemed determined to succeed.

Seeing this, Li Dehua felt a strong sense of crisis, because he saw Zhuang Cai was about to take out money, his face full of seriousness.

Then, he gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, stared intently at An Chengming and Zhuang Cai, and said a number in a confrontational manner.

"Zhou Rui, we're from the same village. I'll give you my final price: 140 yuan. Will you sell?"

Upon hearing the price, An Chengming was speechless. As a middleman, this price was already far beyond his profit margin.

Moreover, the high prices that are only available after going to the city center and going through many troubles to resell them are not worth it at all.

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Cai made a puzzling expression on his face—not one of envy, but rather a smile—and then clapped his hands.

"Boss Li is so generous! This thing is yours!"

Zhou Rui simply said:

"make a deal!"

Seeing this, Li Dehua didn't know whether to be happy or to curse.

He simply kept his mouth shut, then counted out a full 14 ten-yuan "big unity" bills from his purse and handed them to Zhou Rui.

He could have refused to pay, but to avoid any unforeseen complications, he took the initiative to pay first.

Zhou Rui took the money and said politely to Li Dehua:

"Uncle Li, don't worry, I will personally deliver it to your residence, so you won't have to make the trip."

Having just finished trading a deer penis, Zhuang Cai seized the opportunity and stared intently at the deer tendons in the tricycle.

"Young man Zhou, sell these deer tendons to me. Let's not talk about 20 or 22 yuan anymore. Here's the deal: I'll take all three catties of deer tendons. How about 80 yuan?"

Li Dehua originally intended to offer another price, both to provoke the dealer and, if the other party didn't want it, to make it useful to him.

However, as soon as Zhuang Cai spoke, Li Dehua swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Buying three catties of deer tendon for 80 yuan is almost 27 yuan per catty, which is definitely the highest price. If he raises the price again, Zhuang Cai will probably be laughing and clapping.

As expected, Zhuang Cai eventually acquired 3 jin of high-quality deer tendons for a high price of 80 yuan.

Zhuang Cai immediately counted out eight "Big Unity" bills and handed them to Zhou Rui, who gladly accepted them and then handed all the wrapped meat tendons to Zhuang Cai.

Zhou Rui was already very happy; the halfway point of this "auction" was quite pleasing.

The deer penis was sold to Li Dehua, who urgently needed such a tonic, and the deer tendon was sold to Zhuang Cai, who owned a restaurant. Both of them felt that they had made a profit.

Li Dehua was in a good mood because he got what he wanted, while Zhuang Cai could make a big deal out of the deer tendons and earn much more than 80 yuan.

Seeing that both of them had bought what they wanted, the middleman couldn't hold back any longer and said directly:

"Young man, what about the deer antlers and the deer tail...?"
