Back to 1992, slingshot hunting skill points!

After collecting the fish from the three cages, 120 jin (60 catties) of fish were selected that could be sold, which is more than 10 jin (5 kg) less than before. Next time, it will be time to move to a different location.

Fortunately, in this small mountain valley, there are few other things but plenty of puddles.

The total points reached 475, a number that is quite disheartening.

I don't want to participate in the 400-point lottery, and I'm a little short of the 500-point lottery.

Wang Liang said he couldn't sleep last night, but he's sleeping soundly now and can't be woken up even by pushing him.

Wang Long leaned in and blocked his nostrils, but he pushed the nostrils away. Wang Long blocked them again, then pushed the nostrils away again, and Wang Long blocked them again...

"Get off me, what are you doing on top of me?"

"What are you still doing? The sun's already high in the sky, do you still want to go to the city?"

"Damn it, why didn't you call me sooner?"

Wang Liang hurriedly put on his shoes and ran out, only to find that Wang Long had lied to him; it was just dawn.

Before Wang Liang could cause trouble for Wang Long, he ran off to take a leak, since everything was already tied up and they were just waiting for him to leave.

There were three cars: one for Wang Long and one for Wang Liang, and one for Lin Chuan and Lin Feng.

Lin Chuan hadn't originally planned to bring Lin Feng, but the kid looked at him with a resentful expression and didn't say anything, making Lin Chuan feel embarrassed.

"Let's go, charge!"

Wang Long and Wang Liang were incredibly excited, pedaling so hard their wheels were practically smoking, and they even dared to overestimate their abilities and try to outrun Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan was naturally not that naive; he simply kept the car speed about ten meters ahead of the two people.

county seat.

Lin Chuan didn't take them to the market right away; he rode around the market first.

"This is the police station. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, go inside and find a man named Liu Jianshe. Tell him my name; he's my brother."

"This is a hospital. If there's anything left over from the market, you can come here and take a look. We don't have time to rush to buy vegetables here because we have to take care of the patients' meals in the morning."

"This is Green Willow Community, the richest community in the county. Everyone here is extremely wealthy. If you have any good stuff, you can consider selling it here."

"This is the market. Our stall is at the entrance. Come on, let me show you around."

Lin Chuan went and bought a pack of Hongjinlong cigarettes, then found Lianfang Lei Dazhuang and introduced him to Wang Long and Wang Liang.

Lei Dazhuang had a good impression of Lin Chuan, not only because Liu Jianshe had personally spoken to him, but also because Lin Chuan was very good at handling things.

I would occasionally give him a pack of cigarettes, and when he went shopping, I would subtly weigh out a little extra for him.

Therefore, he gave Lin Chuan plenty of face, and after Lin Chuan finished speaking, he patted his chest and assured him that if there was anything in this area, he should come to him.

"Chuanzi, it's like you know everyone!"

"We're here to do business, so we should treat people kindly. Having more friends means having more options. Taking a little extra money each day is enough to keep us safe and sound; it's not a loss."

However, this depends on the person. You can't give a single penny to scoundrels, otherwise they'll be like a leech that you can't shake off.

You can figure out the balance yourself; just think about it and you'll understand. It's simply a matter of being proactive versus reactive.

As Lin Chuan untied the rope, he explained some of the details to them.

"Young man, you're here! Why didn't you come yesterday?"

"Good morning, sir. We who live in the mountains have to rely on the mountain spirits to provide us with food."

I didn't catch anything yesterday, so I didn't sleep a wink. I stayed up all night in the mountains, and only managed to catch two. Look, they're fresh! Want a couple of pounds?

"Then give me two pounds."

After it opened, a queue quickly formed here.

Lin Chuan's prices are lower than those in the market, and the scales are more generous. In just a few days, this has been enough to build a reputation in the small county.

After selling for a while, Lin Chuan stepped aside and let Wang Long and Wang Liang take charge.

Wang Long is quick-witted and easygoing, and is in charge of greeting customers and weighing their food. Wang Liang is honest and straightforward, and he skewers the meat and collects money and gives change.

Apart from being a bit slow, there aren't any other problems.

"Hey, why didn't you come yesterday?"

After the two became familiar with each other, Lin Chuan stepped aside and was feeling bored when he heard someone call out. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Hongge.

The girl was wearing a light yellow dress, apricot sandals, and a sun hat.

This outfit wouldn't be outdated even by today's standards; it's quite pleasing to the eye.

The little girl wasn't feeling well; she had blisters on the corners of her mouth and breakouts on her face.

"Hey, you weren't out stealing last night, why do you have such dark circles under your eyes?"

Liu Hongge glared at Lin Chuan and said angrily:

"You're the one who's stealing! I'm telling you, I solved that problem, but you have to agree to three conditions."

"Wait, why are there only three conditions? Didn't we agree to solve the math problem that day?"

"You dare to renege?"

Liu Hongge's voice suddenly rose eight octaves, attracting the attention of Wang Liang and the others.

"Shh, keep your voice down, there are so many people here."

"I don't care. We clearly agreed that if I solved it, you would agree to three conditions. I stayed up all night to solve it, but now you're not honoring it."

As Liu Hongge spoke, she became increasingly aggrieved, and tears streamed down her face.

Lin Chuan was also in a bind. He was certain he was referring to that day because he had played a trick: he left right after he finished speaking, so even if Liu Hongge solved the puzzle, he would still lose.

But to his surprise, the girl was so focused on the questions that she didn't listen to the prerequisites at all.

As more and more people looked over, Wang Long and Wang Liang kept winking at him. Lin Chuan grabbed Liu Hongge's wrist:

"Hey, come with me, let's find somewhere else to talk, there are so many people watching."

Liu Hongge followed him to a secluded spot, sobbing. Lin Chuan turned to look at her, but for a moment he didn't know how to speak.

Lin Chuan learned a lesson in his later life: never argue with a woman about anything.

The key issue is that this matter is not easy to clarify. The little girl still has tears in her eyes, so such a blunt explanation doesn't seem appropriate.

Another lesson Lin Chuan learned is that when one thing cannot be solved, one should move on to another.

"Hey, you must be hungry from crying. How about we go get some breakfast first?"

"You're the one crying because you're hungry! You shameless liar, you don't keep your word!"

Fortunately, they can still respond to conversations, so they're not too difficult to deal with.

Lin Chuan changed his expression, his face contorted in pain, let out two dry howls, and rubbed his stomach:

"Waaah, I'm crying because I'm hungry. I'm hungry, but I can't find any food. I'm starving!"

"puff."

Lin Chuan's funny expression made the little girl laugh out loud, but she quickly realized she shouldn't laugh, so she straightened her face again.

"You look so pitiful, come on, I'll take you to find something to eat."

"Oh, thank you so much, Miss. You're truly a savior from suffering, sent down by heaven..."

After being showered with compliments, the little girl couldn't stop smiling.

Get it done.

Breakfast consisted of congee, steamed buns, and cowpea cakes. Fried dough sticks were scarce because they were expensive due to the high oil content, and no one bought them. These were the three main breakfast options available at the time, with very few other varieties.

Lin Chuan was really hungry. He picked up the bowl of porridge and ate half a bowl in a few mouthfuls, then ate two steamed buns. Liu Hongge across from him had only just started eating.

"Are you a reincarnated starving ghost? You're eating so fast."

"Hey, you have no idea how hard it is for me. We're poor in the countryside, so we don't eat dinner. We just sleep when we're hungry, and drink two big bowls of water in the morning to appease our hunger. How could a young man like me, who's still growing, not be hungry?"

"Well, you know how to hunt, so there should be plenty of meat."

Have you read "The Charcoal Seller"?

Lin Chuan asked in a serious tone.

Liu Hongge, the charcoal seller, had naturally read it. After understanding its meaning, her gaze towards Lin Chuan changed.

It wasn't contempt or pity, but rather a sense of unbearable sorrow and heartache.

"Why don't you come work for my dad during the summer vacation? He'll provide meals. They seem to be having some problems lately and need a lot of manpower."
