Travel through famine years and awaken a post-apocalyptic survival system.

"Hey! Ninety percent goes to the factory, half goes to the department, and the remaining half... whoever did it keeps it!"

After Gao Dazhi finished speaking, he laughed and said, "What's wrong? Tempted?"

Zhao Qingsong scratched his head sheepishly: "Brother Gao, I'm actually a little tempted."

"It's no use being tempted. Hunting in the mountains isn't easy. There are experienced hunters around the mountains, and the nearby animals have already been caught by these people. In the deep mountains, let alone hunting, it takes half a day to walk there."

"Hunting is not easy! Those are all moving targets. Let alone shooting them, just finding the prey is a headache. The hardest part is finding the prey."

Gao Dazhi sighed.

He said, "This is a tough job. Our department has armed training once a month, with five bullets used for target practice. Why don't you practice first and then see what happens!"

Zhao Qingsong pondered for a moment.

This is a great opportunity that he can't miss; it's a chance to complete his task while being paid.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Well... Brother Gao, actually I have some experience in finding prey."

"you?"

Gao Dazhi rolled his eyes and gave him a disgruntled look.

"You're young, but you're quite the braggart. Don't let our section chief hear you say that, or he'll definitely yell at you."

Zhao Qingsong smiled sheepishly: "Brother Zhao, really."

He then said in a low voice, "Brother Zhao, you know I'm just a country bumpkin, where would I get the money to buy a house? Besides... last night on my way back, I even picked up two pheasants and a rabbit! I just left them at home!"

He still needs to appropriately reveal some of his abilities.

He didn't want to suffer all the time.

These days, eating meat can get you reported, so how could he possibly miss such a legitimate opportunity to eat meat?

And it has meat in it!

If I have meat, I can exchange it for other things. Can't I use meat to exchange for other things?

Perfect timing, this is a great opportunity.

"What?"

Gao Dazhi jumped to his feet: "Really?"

"What's wrong? Why are you so startled? You gave me a fright."

Old Liu, sitting behind him, was startled by the action and gave him a disgruntled look.

Upon seeing this, Gao Dazhi looked excited.

He sat down again, excitedly asking, "Really? You're not kidding me!"

"Hey, Gao, why would I lie to you? Come over to my place tonight!"

After thinking for a moment, Gao Dazhi agreed: "Okay, I'll go check it out tonight. If it's true, I'll take you there the day after tomorrow."

"Sure!"

And that's how it was settled.

……

In the afternoon, Zhao Qingsong didn't go out; instead, he helped Lao Liu register the documents and get hot water.

The people in the department had a good impression of this diligent and sensible young man.

After work, Zhao Qingsong took Gao Dazhi's car home.

At the main gate, I encountered other security personnel conducting an inspection.

"Old Zhou!"

Old Gao brought him over and greeted him with a smile.

Old Zhou, who was in his thirties, was followed by a young man in his twenties. This was the same Old Zhou that Gao Dazhi had mentioned earlier.

……

Old Zhou took the cigarette from Gao Dazhi, glanced at Zhao Qingsong sitting behind him, and smiled: "Old Gao, taking your apprentice back?"

"Yeah, it's on the way, let's take him back!"

Zhao Qingsong had already come down and offered each of the three a cigarette.

"Brother Zhou!"

Old Zhou watched him take the cigarette, then smiled at Gao Dazhi and said, "Old Gao, your little apprentice is young, but he's really thorough in his work!"

After saying that, he looked at Zhao Qingsong and smiled, "Young man, Lao Gao fought alongside our section chief. You'll learn a lot from him."

Zhao Qingsong glanced at Lao Gao in surprise.

But she still smiled and said, "Of course!"

Gao Dazhi said irritably, "Alright, you're acting like you're the same person. Alright, I won't hold you up any longer, I'm leaving!"

"Alright, let's go!"

After saying goodbye, the two left the steel plant.

……

After they came out, Zhao Qingsong asked with a smile, "Brother Gao, you don't look that old! You've even been to the battlefield?"

"Yes, I did, but not for many years."

"I'm exactly 30 this year. I joined the army in early 45 when I was only 14. I fought the Japanese for half a year, and then I turned around and fought the Japanese again. After Beiping was taken back, our unit was responsible for taking over the steel plant, and then I was demobilized on the spot."

"Oh, is that so?"

Zhao Qingsong nodded slightly.

I joined the army quite early.

The two chatted idly.

There were many people in the factory, and after walking quite a distance, Gao Dazhi finally got back on his bike and took him away.

……

The two got out of the car at their doorstep.

I opened the door and went inside.

While Gao Dazhi was parking his car, he quickly opened the door and quietly placed the pheasant and rabbit in the corner of the room.

……

Gao Dazhi followed him inside, and quickened his pace when he saw the pheasant and rabbit that Zhao Qingsong had just mentioned.

"Wow, you're telling the truth!"

His eyes immediately lit up.

Zhao Qingsong smiled and said, "Brother Gao, I told you I wasn't lying to you."

"Wow, you've got some skills! Then how come you're still so skinny!"

Zhao Qingsong gave a wry smile upon hearing this: "Brother Gao, you're like a well-fed man who doesn't know the hunger of an starving man! We rural folks eat so little, we're out of breath after just a few steps, where would we get the strength to get this stuff? I didn't dare go to the black market either. If I hadn't been thinking about buying a house this time, I wouldn't have sold the pheasant and some of the grain from home to make up the difference."

Gao Dazhi nodded slightly upon hearing this.

That makes sense.

Even though their security department had guns and offered them food, they were still unwilling to go; hunting was really not that easy.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "How did you find it?"

"Well... I don't really know how to explain it. Look at the footprints, listen to the sounds and stuff. Anyway, trust me, you'll definitely be able to get something once you get out of here."

Gao Dazhi laughed heartily: "I didn't realize you had the potential to be a hunter! Okay, I'll take you the day after tomorrow. Don't tell me about your business yet, in case you don't catch anything and it gets embarrassing."

"Okay, then just say it was me who begged you to go."

Zhao Qingsong smiled.

"Sure!"

Gao Dazhi smiled and agreed.

Then, looking at the pheasant, he swallowed hard and asked, "Um... could you sell me this pheasant?"

We haven't had any meat at home in a long time, so I'll buy some to improve the kids' diet.

There are two children in the family, the older one is about ten years old, and the younger one is only six or seven years old.

A teenager can eat his father out of house and home; that's when he can eat the most.

Zhao Qingsong looked at the pheasant, laughed, and handed one over: "Hey, Brother Gao, please take this and give it to your child to nourish him."

Relationships are built through interaction.

He also needs to make a profit; he doesn't lack that. If he doesn't take advantage of this famine year to build good relationships, when will he ever get another chance?

It's better to offer help in times of need than to add flowers to brocade.

After the famine, supplies were no longer scarce.

"Oh, I can't take this. I'll pay you! How much is this pheasant? I'll pay you. Everyone's short of food right now."

Food is so expensive these days.

He was too ashamed to ask.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Qingsong said, "Brother Gao, how about this? You keep this for now, and we'll go out the day after tomorrow. If we find anything, you can return it to me. Don't worry, with me here, we definitely won't come back empty-handed."

Gao Dazhi hesitated for a moment.

Finally, he agreed: "Okay, if I manage to get it later, I'll return it to you. If I don't, I'll pay you the black market price."

"OK!"

Zhao Qingsong agreed with a smile.

The matter is settled.

Gao Dazhi took a pheasant and laughed, "That's settled then. I'll head back now. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow! Let me know if you encounter any difficulties."

"Okay, sure!"

Zhao Qingsong agreed and escorted the other party to the gate.

He watched the other person ride away on their bicycle before closing the gate.

He rubbed his hands together and closed the door to the main room.

Shelter!

Today it's finally starting.
