Reborn in the 1980s: Nine Stunning Beauties Get Pregnant Before Marriage

"Then you should eat more." Chen Yongqiang also picked up a piece of chicken.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time he had eaten a second-generation wild chicken raised in his space.

The first six wild eggs were found, hatched, raised, and then bred.

The texture and flavor of this meat were indeed subtly different from the wild pheasants he had hunted in the mountains before.

Dozens of them have already multiplied in the space, and Chen Yongqiang is thinking that he needs to control their numbers and prevent them from multiplying too quickly.

He thought to himself, "This pheasant is so delicious, I should keep it for myself. If I want to sell it, I'll just go back up the mountain and hunt it again. Good things should be kept in our own hands."

As the two were eating, the door to the private room opened, and Li Chengtian came out following the aroma, a polite smile on his face: "Excuse me, if I may ask, is what you two are eating... pheasant meat?"

He has a particular fondness for wild game, and he ordered this dish in the private room just now, but the manager told him that the restaurant happened to not have it today.

"It's pheasant meat." Chen Yongqiang just picked up the chicken's head, and the comb was clearly visible.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Li Chengtian's face immediately darkened.

He turned around and shouted loudly inside, "Manager Niu! Come out here!"

Upon hearing the shout, Niu Huadong quickly ran out from the kitchen: "Director Li, what can I do for you?"

Li Chengtian pointed to the unfinished pheasant stew with mushrooms on Chen Yongqiang's table: "Manager Niu, didn't you just say you didn't have any pheasants left? What are they eating in this dish?"

Niu Huadong quickly explained, "Director Li, you've misunderstood! The store really didn't have any stock left. These were brought by these two customers themselves, and our kitchen staff just helped to process them."

"Brought it yourself? Who would bring a pheasant with them when they go out to eat?" Li Chengtian clearly didn't believe it.

Chen Yongqiang put down his chopsticks and spoke up to explain, "I'm a hunter. I came to the county town on business today and brought a pheasant along to see if I could sell it. Since I couldn't sell it, I ate it myself."

Niu Huadong also realized what was happening and immediately turned to Chen Yong: "By the way, comrade! Do you still have any of those pheasants? Our restaurant buys them!"

Chen Yongqiang shook his head: "No, that's all. I only brought this one today."

He had no intention of selling the pheasants that bred in the space.

Seeing this, Niu Huadong could only turn back and repeatedly apologize to Li Chengtian:

"Director Li, I'm so sorry! This is such a mess; it was definitely our oversight that we didn't prepare everything in advance. Next time, we'll definitely save the freshest ingredients for you beforehand!"

Li Chengtian angrily cursed Niu Huadong a few times, his face very unpleasant, but he didn't continue to argue. He turned around and went back to the private room.

After Li Chengtong left, Niu Huadong breathed a sigh of relief and then approached Chen Yongqiang at the table: "Comrade, I heard you say you're a hunter. Can you provide live game on a long-term basis? Like pheasants and rabbits."

Chen Yongqiang didn't agree immediately. "It's possible, but how much will it cost?"

"There's no way to give you a uniform price right now," Niu Huadong said honestly.

"The key is quality. If all of them were like what you brought today—fresh, vibrant, and of good appearance—"

"We can buy it at 30% above the market price!" He was well aware of the weight of Chen Yongqiang's earlier point about the frozen meat issue.

Those leaders are very picky eaters, not easy to fool. A customer once mentioned that the meat wasn't fresh.

But in this county, all the restaurants source their goods through roughly the same process.

The hunters deliver it, and it takes a day or two to get there. If it doesn't freeze, who will be responsible if it gets damaged?

Niu Huadong saw a business opportunity in this. If Chen Yongqiang could consistently provide live pheasants and rabbits, his restaurant could become the only one of its kind in the county!

Those leaders and their cronies who are particular about taste and have plenty of money will naturally be attracted to this place.

Chen Yongqiang listened and felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded: "Okay. I'll come back in a few days with the goods, and then we can inspect the goods and discuss the price."

After finishing their conversation, Niu Huadong turned around and went back to work.

Qin Liping, who hadn't dared to interrupt until now, finally found a chance to speak: "Brother Yongqiang, are you about to strike it rich?"

"This money isn't so easy to earn," Chen Yongqiang said, glancing at her.

"Hurry up and eat your food." He used to hunt with a gun, just for the thrill.

Now that we need to capture them alive, the difficulty has increased significantly.

Just as they were finishing their meal, the restaurant's chef, Master Tan, personally brought out a plate of sweet and sour pork and placed it on Chen Yongqiang's table.

"Manager Niu instructed that these be delivered to the two of you."

As Master Tan spoke, his gaze fell on Chen Yongqiang, scrutinizing him.

He came out mainly to see who dared to say that his signature dishes were mediocre.

"Manager Niu, you're too kind." Chen Yongqiang didn't refuse and thanked him.

He knew perfectly well that Niu Huadong was a shrewd businessman.

Chen Yongqiang wouldn't bother cooperating with those who are arrogant and inflexible.

Chef Tan stood by the table and chatted for a few moments: "That pheasant we just saw was clearly top-quality. We chefs love this kind of good ingredients."

Chen Yongqiang responded casually: "Master Tan's skills are excellent, which allows him to make the best use of the ingredients."

Master Tan realized he had encountered an expert, so he didn't press the matter further. After exchanging a few polite words, he turned and went back to the kitchen.

After finishing his meal, Chen Yongqiang raised his hand to call the waiter: "Waiter, the bill is due."

The waiter brought over the bill: "Braised wild rabbit, 6.2 yuan; deep-fried frog, 3.8 yuan; pheasant stew with mushrooms, 1.5 yuan; plus two bowls of rice, the total is 11.5 yuan."

Qin Liping, who was standing to the side, was secretly astonished when she heard the price. It was almost half a month's wages for her father.

Chen Yongqiang readily paid the bill: "It's rare to come to the county town, so I'll treat you to a good meal and let you try something new."

He knew this meal was worthwhile, and by connecting with restaurants like this, he could quickly earn back the money he spent on this meal from them.

After leaving the restaurant, Chen Yongqiang drove his tractor to the secondhand market.

He thought he'd wander around and see if he could find any other ways to make money, or find some things he might need later.

Sitting next to Chen Yongqiang, Qin Liping watched the passersby coming and going in the secondhand market, haggling over prices.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "The county town is so much more lively than the market in the town!"

Chen Yongqiang first went to the shop where he had bought tools before, wanting to get some more cement, as the amount of cement needed to build a house was not small.

But the boss shook his head: "There's no cement available these days. The crackdown is on, and they're checking very strictly."

Chen Yongqiang then asked a second-best option: "What about fertilizer? Do you have any connections?"

How much do you want?

How much do you have?

After a question-and-answer session, the two finally determined that there was only one 50-kilogram bag of phosphate fertilizer, which Chen Yongqiang bought entirely.
