Back to 1984: I built a chicken farm on a barren mountain.

Seeing people heading to Chen Wenfeng's place, Han Laosi was furious. He had originally planned to use his influence as a fellow villager to bully the people from town and make some money, and the price of 18 cents was already quite high.

Unexpectedly, Chen Wenfeng offered a price of 19 cents as soon as he arrived.

This is truly a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; if I am the mantis, then Chen Wenfeng is the oriole.

Chen Wenfeng didn't care about Han Laosi's glaring and snorting; he was just there to cause trouble.

Moreover, Chen Wenfeng knew that buying these locusts wouldn't actually make much money. The reason he accepted Zhou Zhiming's suggestion was twofold: firstly, the brothers could earn some pocket money, and secondly, it would cause trouble for Han Laosi.

Now that Chen Wenfeng has announced his purchase price, the man who first came to buy Dengdaoshan in town no longer intends to buy in Chenjiazhuang. He packed up and went to another village.

Chen Wenfeng thought to himself, "Sorry, buddy, I won't compete with you for other villages. You can go make your fortune elsewhere."

In just one morning, Chen Wenfeng collected dozens of kilograms of locusts. Although these locusts are large and heavy among locusts, they are not as firm as eggs. So, dozens of kilograms of locusts take up a lot of space, so they can't be transported to the county town by bicycle. They can only be transported by oxcart.

Chen Wenfeng had Niu Er drive the oxcart to deliver the first batch of oxen to the Zunxi Jiuzhou Hotel. As the oxcart slowly moved along, Chen Wenfeng sighed, "This oxcart is just too slow. Although trucks aren't common these days, at least we could get a three-wheeled vehicle, which would make delivering goods much easier."

The group traveled for half a day in an oxcart, finally arriving at the Kyushu Hotel a little after 1 p.m.

At the entrance of the restaurant, Manager Li was greeting guests.

When Zhou Zhiming and Niu Er came to the Jiuzhou Hotel for the first time with Chen Wenfeng, they both clicked their tongues in admiration for a long time.

Zhou Zhiming asked:

"Brother Feng, was the roast chicken you brought back from here the same one?"

"Yes, this is the place, it's a local specialty."

When Manager Li saw Chen Wenfeng from afar, he quickly came over to greet him. Manager Li said:

"Mr. Wu is here today. I reported this matter of climbing over the mountain to him, and he said he would discuss it with you again when you come."

"It seems Angkor Wat has something in mind."

Manager Li smiled but didn't respond. Although he knew what Wu Jiajun was thinking, he was very tactful and wouldn't reveal his boss's intentions beforehand.

As the two were talking, Shen Xiaoxia came out of the restaurant, followed by Shen Wanjun. When they saw Chen Wenfeng, they rushed over, and Shen Wanjun's eyes never left Chen Wenfeng.

"Boss Shen, has your steamed bun finally made its way into the Kyushu Hotel?"

Chen Wenfeng laughed, and Shen Xiaoxia narrowed her eyes to slits, saying:

"It's all thanks to your introduction to Manager Li and General Manager Wu. We had already reached an agreement a long time ago, and Manager Li and the others were very satisfied with the steamed buns we made. But we still delayed moving in until recently because my wife wanted to keep the breakfast spot. At the same time, we made adjustments to the size and flavor of the steamed buns served at the Kyushu Hotel."

Chen Wenfeng was surprised that Qian Xuebing, a man who seemed to have no connection to the outside world, could act with such planning and tact. He couldn't help but admire him more. Indeed, in the early stages of a market economy, those who dared to experiment were people with ideas and courage.

Chen Wenfeng chatted with Shen Xiaoxia and Shen Wanjun for a few more minutes, then Manager Li urged them on:

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Wu has other matters to attend to this afternoon, so let's try to go upstairs as soon as possible."

Not daring to delay Chen Wenfeng's affairs, Shen Xiaoxia pulled Shen Wanjun and Chen Wenfeng to say goodbye. Shen Wanjun took out a newly knitted scarf from her bag and stuffed it into Chen Wenfeng's hand. She then lowered her head, took Shen Xiaoxia's arm, and quickly left.

Manager Li knew that Shen Wanjun had always been interested in Chen Wenfeng. When Zhou Zhiming and Niu Er saw this, they exchanged knowing glances and grinned mischievously.

"Manager Li, let's unload all the pedals from the vehicle first," Chen Wenfeng said.

Manager Li said with a smile:

"Mr. Chen, you don't need to worry about this. I'll arrange for someone to go upstairs and see Mr. Wu first."

Seeing the thoughtful Manager Li, Chen Wenfeng thought to himself, "No wonder Brother Wu values ​​you so much. You are not only thoughtful in your work, but you also put the boss's needs first."

Chen Wenfeng then led Zhou Zhiming and Niu Er to Manager Li's office on the third floor.

Wu Jiajun was reading poetry with Wu Xiaojun when Wu Xiaojun saw Chen Wenfeng and rushed towards him. Chen Wenfeng picked him up and said:

"Xiao Jun seems to have gained some weight since last time!"

Seeing Wu Xiaojun and Chen Wenfeng being so affectionate, Wu Jiajun said:

"Xiaojun, get down. You're so big now, don't always let Uncle Chen carry you!"

Chen Wenfeng said:

"It's alright, it's alright. They'll grow up in a few years, and then they won't be able to carry you anymore."

When Wu Jiajun heard Chen Wenfeng say this, his heart stirred. These words struck a chord with him. He had always been quite strict with Xiaojun, but Xiaojun was very affectionate towards his strict father. He would have to get closer to Xiaojun in the future. Just as Chen Wenfeng said, children grow up and become too heavy to carry. They have their own lives and will not be as close to each other as before.

Seeing that Wu Xiaojun and Chen Wenfeng were rambling on and on, Manager Li knew they wouldn't be able to get to the point if things continued like this, so he said to Xiaojun:

"Xiaojun, Uncle will take you downstairs to see Dengdaoshan."

"Great! Thank you, Uncle Li. Let's go see Dengdaoshan!"

Manager Li carried Wu Xiaojun downstairs, and their voices could still be heard in the hallway.

"Uncle Li, is that 'climbing the hill' fun?"

"It's fun and delicious!"

After Wu Xiaojun followed Manager Li downstairs, Wu Jiajun asked Chen Wenfeng and the others to sit down. Wu Jiajun said:

"Wenfeng, Manager Li could have made the decision about climbing the mountain, but I came back from Tang City yesterday. Some of my friends there also wanted some, and they offered a very high price. Since they offered me a high price, I thought I'd offer you a higher price too."

"Brother Angkor, 26 cents isn't low. How much higher can Tang City go?"

"They can offer 50 cents a pound, but the size has to be uniform."

"Wow, that's so tall."

"Yes, not only that, they want all other wild mountain products as well."

"It's definitely harvest time in the mountains now. There are wild mushrooms and wild jujubes, and as for live animals, there are wild rabbits and pheasants in the mountains, and river shrimp and crabs in the rivers. Would you like some of these?"

"I want them all. The price is negotiable, the more the merrier."

"Okay, I, who's in the aquaculture business, am about to revert to a primitive lifestyle."

"What kind of savage lifestyle?"

"It's about going back to the era of gathering and hunting."

"Haha, you always come up with weird and strange words."

Seeing that the conversation had nearly concluded, Chen Wenfeng bid farewell to Wu Jiajun, saying:

"Angkor, we came by oxcart today, so we're slow. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

"Okay, let's invite Lao Feng again next time for a drink."

"Yes, Brother Feng, you've recovered well!"

"Okay, he talks about you all the time!"

As Chen Wenfeng was about to take his leave, he suddenly remembered something else.
