Chapter 143
Shi Lin brought back a wild boar in the morning. Apart from the ones he gave away and the ones he wanted to keep for himself, there was only a little more than one left.
Lao Shi and his friends did not send them to Liu Baoquan to sell, but slaughtered them at home.
Afterwards, they set up a pork stall at the doorstep and sold them in the village at a relatively cheap price.
Therefore, the half sack of monkey heads that were supposed to be sold was still at home and had not been sold.
Shi Lin took it and counted it, and there were sixty-nine of them.
There was only two hundred and thirty-one left to reach three hundred.
After discussing with his family, Shi Lin drove out on a tricycle and went straight to Liu Baoquan’s house.
When he arrived at Liu Baoquan’s house, Shi Lin did not beat around the bush and directly stated his purpose, which was the monkey head business.
When Liu Baoquan heard this, he said, “Brother, you want to help Liu Xingye and his friends buy monkey heads? This business is not easy to do!”
“Ah?” Shi Lin was stunned.
How can it be difficult to make one or two dollars by buying a monkey head?
“Let me tell you this. I can only receive three or five monkey heads in ten days or half a month. Think about it, how difficult it is for you to receive three hundred monkey heads in a few days?”
“The price he gave you is not low. The monkey heads here are sold in the market for more than eight yuan normally. If you are lucky, you can sell them for more than nine yuan. Ten yuan is basically not sold.”
“But in fact, if you can really get three or five hundred monkey heads, I will go to those hotels and restaurants to negotiate for a price of ten yuan, and I can probably get it.”
In Liu Baoquan’s opinion, Liu Xingye did not actually give Shi Lin much more profit in this monkey head business, which is the market price.
If Shi Lin could get a whole batch of hundreds of monkey heads, he Liu Baoquan could also sell them for ten yuan.
Ah this.
Shi Lin has never done business before, and he is not very clear about the current market situation. He thought that this price was Liu Xingye’s special care for him.
Now it seems that there is some care, but not much.
Moreover, the difficulty of purchasing monkey heads was much greater than he had imagined. Liu Baoquan, who had such a large purchasing point, could only collect three or five in ten days or half a month.
How many could Lao Shi and his family collect if they were asked to collect them?
Shi Lin could not help but smile bitterly. This time, Lao Shi, the fourth sister, and the fifth sister might have been happy for nothing.
It was very likely that they would be very excited for a long time, but in the end, they would only collect a few monkey heads…
Liu Baoquan was quite supportive of Shi Lin’s business. He found all the monkey heads in his family, a total of 3, and sold them to Shi Lin for 25 yuan.
Shi Lin wanted to give a higher price, but Liu Baoquan refused.
He would not lose money at this price, and could even make a small profit, which was enough for Liu Baoquan.
As for the monkey head business, Liu Baoquan had not started it at first. He only collected a few a month, so it didn’t make much difference to him whether there were monkey heads or not.
Liu Baoquan also agreed to send all the monkey heads he received later to Shi Lin to make up the number for Shi Lin.
After discussing with Liu Baoquan, Shi Lin went home and told his family about the situation.
The business of collecting monkey heads still needs to be done, but everyone should not have too high expectations, and collect as many as possible.
Anyway, you can earn one or two yuan for collecting a monkey head. The more you collect, the more you earn, and the less you collect, the less you earn.
Shi Yushu and Shi Yuying were originally full of energy, but now they heard Shi Lin say that collecting monkey heads is so difficult, and Liu Baoquan only collected three or five in ten days or half a month, and they also felt like being poured with a bucket of cold water.
Old Shi was calmer, he smiled and said:
“Just because Liu Baoquan can’t collect monkey heads doesn’t mean we can’t.”
“You will follow me to collect them tomorrow. It shouldn’t be a problem to collect more than ten or twenty of them a day.”
Old Shi is basically familiar with the hunters in the nearby villages, those who go into the mountains to collect herbs, dig ginseng, and collect mushrooms. He is ready to take the initiative and go to their homes to collect them!
I dare not say how many there are, but in his opinion, there will definitely be no problem with more than ten or twenty.
After hearing what Lao Shi said, Shi Yushu and Shi Yuying also rekindled their fighting spirit, and bought it!
That evening, the two of them began to publicize in the village.
The main purpose was to tell the aunts and sisters in the village that they would buy monkey heads in the village, so that everyone who had monkey heads could bring them home to sell.
The price was not lower than what they sent to the market, and they didn’t have to go so far to the market.
With these aunts and sisters, the news would basically spread throughout the village in less than a day.
At the same time, they also made a plan. Ye Meihui and Shi Yushu were responsible for staying at home to collect monkey heads sent to their doorsteps,
Shi Zhengang and Shi Yuying went to nearby villages to find those professional mushroom pickers and collect them at their doorsteps.
As for Shi Lin, he still went up the mountain to pick mushrooms and hunt.
The business of buying monkey heads was completely handed over to Lao Shi and his friends, and the money earned from buying monkey heads was also divided among the four of them.
……The next morning.
After breakfast, Shi Lin took his gun and took the little animals up the mountain.
This time he took the sable, the big cat, the little white tiger and the bear cub, and the little moose was left at home.
Lao Shi’s legs still couldn’t walk too far, so Shi Lin left the little moose to him so that he could put the little moose on the cart and drive the moose cart to collect the goods, which would be easier.
Shi Lin first took the little animals to run for more than an hour to exercise their physical fitness. As expected, the little white tiger was the weakest, followed by the bear cub.
This time they came to the same birch forest as yesterday, but the location was a few hundred meters deeper than yesterday.
After arriving at the place, Shi Lin took out a monkey head and placed it in front of the four little animals.
“This is what we are looking for this time. Go and find it. If you can pick it, pick it and give it to me. If you can’t pick it, wait over there. We will pick it later.”
There is a quantity task, and the bear cub and the little white tiger can’t be left idle. Shi Lin asked them to go and find it. No matter whether they can find it or not, they have to do something anyway.
Especially the bear cub, Shi Lin has high hopes for it. With its bear nose, it shouldn’t be too difficult to find a monkey head nearby.
He brought a monkey head here today, mainly to let the bear cub remember the smell clearly and facilitate the search.
The four little animals received the task. The big cat and the sable didn’t need to look at it for a long time. They went up the tree and started looking for the monkey head.
The little white tiger and the bear cub stared at the monkey head in Shi Lin’s hand and looked at it carefully, and sniffed it again before starting to act.
The bear cub, who was highly expected by Shi Lin, stood on all fours, raised his head and sniffed, and soon found the target and rushed straight to a tree.
Bang!
The bear cub ran too fast and was tripped by a tree root. It directly did a move of falling wild geese with its buttocks backwards, and its face hit the tree trunk with a bang.
“……”
Shi Lin was speechless, this big myopic!
I don’t know if I can strengthen the eyes of the bear cub after accumulating enough points for the beast servant to strengthen it?
Its eyes are really not much better than being blind.
Fortunately, bears are thick-skinned and fall-resistant. The bear cub fell and got up quickly, not affected by the fall just now.
It grabbed the tree trunk with four claws, as if it was walking, and climbed up easily and casually.
Following the trajectory of its climbing, Shi Lin looked up,
Wow, a pair of monkey heads grew together on it!
“As expected of you, little bear! You’re awesome!”
