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

Li Dehua slashed the price by more than half. He had originally intended to force Zhou Rui to give it away for free, but he hesitated when he saw Zhou Shiwei standing behind Zhou Rui.

Finally, with great reluctance, they announced a price that was slightly lower than the normal market price.

Zhou Shiwei, who was standing to the side, watched the scene unfold quietly without interrupting.

Now, Zhou Shijie no longer has the subconscious fear and impulsiveness he used to have.

He was very calm now, and even when Li Dehua looked over, he would glare at Li Dehua.

This surprised the former, but he didn't think much of it.

Zhou Rui knew that the price was indeed too high, but he still had a way to rip off Li Dehua.

However, just as Zhou Rui was about to continue haggling, the roar of a motorcycle sounded, and soon Zhao Jianjun, who wore glasses, was rather thin, and had a shrewd look in his eyes, appeared before everyone.

He parked his motorcycle next to his own tricycle and then greeted the Zhou family members very warmly.

"Oh my, it's great to run into Brother Zhou here! Come on in, and Shijie is here too."

"Hey? Isn't this my nephew Zhou Rui? Let me see if he's gained weight recently."

Zhao Jianjun approached with familiarity and amusement, then squeezed Zhou Rui's arm.

He finally returned, and from a distance he saw a scattered group of people gathered there. When he got a little closer, he realized it was the Zhou family.

At the same time, the shrewd man also discovered that the Zhou family had acquired some good stuff again.

However, when he saw that there was very little venison and some deer bones left in his tricycle, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

But he didn't show it, and continued talking to Zhou Rui.

At this moment, Zhou Rui felt much more at ease, and his original plan was quickly changed. After only two seconds of thought, a more ingenious idea came to mind.

"Uncle Zhao, you're here. I still have the deer antlers and deer tails you asked me for. Uncle Li only offered 6 yuan for the deer tail, but when I said Uncle Zhao wanted it, he absolutely refused."

Zhou Ruixi said it casually, as if it were true.

His original plan was to lure Li Dehua home, then show hesitation on the way, and finally use the excuse that Zhao Jianjun had taken the deer tail to keep Li Dehua hanging after they got home.

But now it's not necessary, because Zhao Jianjun has actually returned at this time. In addition, the observant Zhou Rui also noticed that Zhao Jianjun's brows were indeed slightly furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

With this kind of expression, things become much easier. As long as you bring it up, the other person's already troubled expression will naturally not give you away.

As expected, after listening to Zhou Rui's natural explanation, Zhao Jianjun shook his head, sighed softly, and said:

"Brother Li, you don't know, I was planning to give those deer antlers and tails as gifts. I even paid a deposit to have him reserve them for me."

"That's why I went to the credit union to withdraw money to buy it because I didn't have enough cash on me. Isn't what you did... a little inappropriate?"

Zhao Jianjun's transition was so natural, as if it were a real event. Coupled with his sigh and determined demeanor, even Zhou Rui couldn't help but mentally complain.

"Uncle Zhao, you really deserve an Oscar."

However, he didn't show it on his face; instead, he wore a completely different expression. Zhou Rui continued, "..."

"Yes, Uncle Li, last time I didn't leave Uncle Zhao any of the wild boar's kidneys and stomach, and Uncle Zhao scolded me for it."

After speaking, Zhou Rui bowed deeply to Zhao Jianjun with great apology.

At this point, Zhao Jianjun looked at Zhou Rui and the remaining ten-odd kilograms of venison in the tricycle and said:

"What else are we selling? Let's go, I probably have to rush to the county town tonight."

Zhao Jianjun hurried away, and judging from his demeanor, he didn't seem to be acting at all.

Seeing this, Zhou Rui shouted a few times with all his might.

"Anyone else want venison? It's nourishing and delicious. Hurry up, or you'll miss out! You might not get another chance to eat something this nourishing and delicious again for years to come."

The seven or eight people around immediately stirred.

These people are ordinary employees who don't have "iron rice bowls" (secure jobs), and they are much more cautious than the wealthy.

They are willing to spend money, but not for the sake of spending. They don't squander money like some people with a sense of superiority; instead, they spend it wisely.

After a commotion lasting more than ten seconds, the people bought all the remaining venison in portions of one or two kilograms.

Because the reputation of venison as a nourishing food had long been known throughout the surrounding villages, in this era of scarcity and limited resources, many people flocked to this delicacy that could both satisfy their cravings for meat and nourish their bodies.

However, this only applies to a small number of people with "iron rice bowls," ordinary employees, and some self-employed business owners who have plenty of money.

The vast majority of ordinary people are still unwilling to spend twice the price of pork to buy venison.

They have to be very careful with their money to avoid running out of food.

After this last batch sold out, only some bones were left in the tricycle, weighing about ten kilograms, all of them large bones like torso bones.

These bones don't have any meat attached to them; they've either been completely removed and are only good for making soup.

Zhou Rui didn't insist. If they couldn't sell the bones, they could keep them to make soup and improve their family's health.

Zhou Rui is really leaving now. Anyway, he managed to swindle Li Dehua once and get about 30 yuan, which is a small relief. The next time won't be far off, after all, there's plenty of time in the future.

Moreover, Zhou Rui didn't think that Li Dehua would obediently complain that a few dollars was too much and refuse the goods.

Since he awakened his intelligence system, Li Dehua has had kidney deficiency, and it looks quite serious now.

Moreover, it is believed that Li Dehua has seen doctors, but given the current medical conditions, his illness is clearly a serious problem.

Just as Zhou Rui was cleaning the tricycle, Li Dehua couldn't help himself.

He initially thought the two were putting on an act for him, but seeing that they didn't take him seriously at all, he felt a bit helpless.

"Fine! Fifteen it is, Zhao Jianjun. We have no grudges against each other, so please give me face this time and let me have this. Is that alright?"

Zhao Jianjun immediately shook his head and frowned, saying:

"No, that person also likes this kind of food. It's a pity I arrived too late, otherwise I would have bought the deer tendon no matter how expensive it was."

Zhao Jianjun appeared very determined, as if he was determined to win.

Li Dehua frowned immediately, and just as he was about to lash out, Zhou Rui "timely" came to his rescue.

"Both of you are elders. Is this alright, Uncle Zhao? I still have a few pounds of meat at home that I'm keeping for myself. You can take it with you later as compensation."

"Uncle Li, you can take this deer tail, but the price..."
