Chapter 34 News about the bicycle ticket (revised and updated)

After a brief summary meeting, everyone went back to their homes and their mothers. The brothers Xiaowen and Xiaowu carried four live birds out of Yue Feng’s house, but did not go home immediately, but went straight to Uncle Zhao’s house at the entrance of the village.

The two children are grateful. In the past, Uncle Zhao occasionally helped them and gave them some pheasants and wild game that he caught with medicine and bait. Now the two brothers have learned how to release hawks from Yue Feng. When they caught prey for the first time, in addition to bringing it home to show their filial piety to their mother, the first person they thought of was Uncle Zhao.

At this moment, only a family of four were left in Yue Feng’s house. Yue Lei and Meng Yulan looked at the pile of living flying dragons and sand chickens on the ground, their expressions a little dazed.

It’s only the first day and they’ve caught so much game. If they were all sold at the price Yue Feng paid before entering the city, they could make more than 60 yuan.

More than 60 yuan may seem like a small amount of change now, but at that time point in 80, many villagers who were diligent and hardworking did not even have 60 yuan in total.

A Forever brand heavy-duty bicycle costs just over 60 yuan, and these yuan are enough to buy half a bicycle.

“This falcon training and organizing people to hunt in a small area are really promising! Tomorrow morning, why don’t you let your Uncle Li accompany you into the city? With so much money, don’t run into robbers on the road!” Yue Lei said with some emotion.

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “No, after dinner, I will take the two chickens to borrow a bicycle from my uncle Wang’s house. The earlier we go, the earlier we will be back. We are familiar with the road, so there will be no problem!”

“That’s fine!” When Yue Lei heard his son going to borrow a bicycle, he and his wife looked at each other and both felt relieved.

We had fried sand chicken for dinner. The quality of the family’s food has improved dramatically recently. Even Yue Feng’s youngest sister Jingjing’s face has become rosy.

After dinner, Yue Feng tied a Feilong and a Shaban chicken with wire and took them to the home of the village secretary Wang Jianguo.

Wang Jianguo is not at home today. Only his wife Zhang Cuilian, daughter Wang Xiaona and son Wang Mingyu are at home.

As soon as she heard the dog barking in the yard, Zhang Cuilian pushed the door open from the north room. Zhang Cuilian opened the door and saw that it was Yue Feng who came again with the chicken.

“Erxiao, what’s up? Have you eaten yet? Come in!”

“Aunt, isn’t my uncle at home? I caught some chicks. I know you and my uncle like to eat them, so I brought two for you.” Yue Feng glanced at the yard and asked casually.

“Your uncle has gone out and hasn’t come back yet! I’m worried about your aunt, so I can’t come empty-handed. I always bring something with me! The flying dragon you sent me last time made a delicious soup!”

Zhang Cuilian actually always had a good impression of Yue Feng, especially after he sent a chicken to her family, her impression became even better. This second boy of the Yue family is better than his father and looks handsome.

“Well, I won’t go into the house since my uncle is not at home! Can I use the bicycle at home tomorrow? I have to go into the city early tomorrow morning!” Yue Feng said straight to the point.

“No need. It’s in the warehouse. I’ll push it for you!” Although Wang Jianguo is the head of the village outside, the real person in charge at home is his wife Zhang Cuilian.

“Thank you, Auntie! I sent it back early in the morning!”

Soon, Yue Feng pushed his bicycle away, and Zhang Cuilian entered the house carrying the two chicks that Yue Feng had brought.

“Mom, another flying dragon has been delivered!” asked Wang Xiaona, the daughter of the emperor, after taking a look at the living game on the ground.

“Yes! It was sent by the second kid of the Yue family. Come to our house to borrow your father’s bicycle!”

“Isn’t it difficult to catch a living flying dragon? Why does Yue Feng always send it alive?” Wang Xiaona asked curiously.

“I heard from your father that this was caught with an eagle! The Yue family has been able to train eagles for generations, but Yue Lei didn’t take over. I didn’t expect the second son of the Yue family to pick up this skill again! He borrowed a bicycle to go into the city, and I guess he was probably going to sell game!”

“This second son of the Yue family is quite courageous. The city is cracking down on speculation and profiteering!”

“They don’t catch the diligent or the lazy, they only catch the blind! These days, every household has a hard time, and going into the mountains to release hawks is a way out!”

“That’s right!”…

The next morning, Yue Feng got up on time at four o’clock. Because there was a lot of game this time, his mother Meng Yulan tied a large rattan frame on the back seat of the car.

There were too many birds and it was too late to wrap them in socks, so Yue Feng used wire to tie the wing tips and legs of all the live birds together, covered them with a torn sack, and rode his bike out of the village and headed straight for the city.

Half an hour later, Yue Feng arrived at the Ghost Market Street on time.

Yue Feng didn’t come yesterday morning, so he was a little confused when he arrived today. It was such a big street, but there were only a few people setting up stalls, less than one-third of the number in the previous few days.

There was not a single stall selling grain and meat on normal days today.

“Hey, big brother, why are there so few people in the ghost market today?” Yue Feng asked a seller who was trading food coupons with his hands folded.

“Don’t even mention it. The day before yesterday and yesterday, the red armbands came to arrest people in the morning. The streets were blocked at both ends. More than a dozen people were arrested. Judging from this sign, they are preparing to completely ban the ghost market. Are you here to buy something, buddy? Do you want food coupons? We have local coupons and national coupons, and the prices are the lowest!”

Yue Feng asked, “I still have some food coupons. I want to ask, can I get a bicycle ticket?”

“That thing is in great demand! Do you really want it?”

Yue Feng nodded: “If the price is right, leave one for me, I really want it!”

“Sixty dollars, I’ll get it for you within half a month! If nothing goes wrong, there will be a batch of quotas coming at the end of the month, and I’ll find a way to get one for you!”

“It’s a bit expensive, how about fifty?”

In Yue Feng’s memory, the price of this thing was about 40 to 50 yuan. It was difficult for ordinary people to get it, but this was just a purchasing qualification. If you wanted to buy a bicycle even if you had a ticket, you would have to pay more than 100 yuan!
The guy who was dealing in bills looked Yue Feng up and down and saw that he came on a bicycle with a wicker basket behind him, which definitely did not look like a joke.

“Okay! Fifty is fifty. I’ve got the ticket. Can I give it to you?”

“My name is Yue Feng. I come here every morning to deliver game to customers! Here, I’ll give you two sand chickens to try. It’ll be your deposit!”

Yue Feng was not afraid that the other party would run away with the chicks. People who had been dealing in bills in the ghost market for years all had their own territories. It would not count if they gave up their business just for these two chicks.

“Hey, the chick you caught is still alive! That’s quite rare! My name is Wang Hu, and everyone I know on the street calls me Hu Zi!”

“Okay, Brother Hu! Please help me with the bicycle ticket issue!”

“Just lift it up!”

The two brothers were whispering to each other when another cow, Fusheng, came strolling over with his hands behind his back.

Yue Feng and Wang Hu were chatting sideways. The bicycle and the rattan basket blocked half of Yue Feng’s figure. The game they brought was not placed on the ground, so Niu Fusheng walked in front of them and did not notice them at first.

Niu Fusheng walked from one end of the street to the other, becoming more and more anxious the further he walked. He thought, maybe the guy who delivered the game wouldn’t come today? If so, what should he do?

I wrote about the issue of the profit sharing ratio of hunting before, and many book friends in the comment area reacted strongly. I reflected on myself and consulted with my book friend Shuchong Yuzhe. I made some revisions to the profit sharing ratio, details and the main text of the article.

If you make a mistake, you must correct it. If you are beaten, you must stand up straight. Only when you love someone deeply can you criticize him harshly. Thanks to the bookworm Fool, Fallen Hell Beast, Hui Xiang 124, and these brothers for their corrections in the comment section. Support is not only about applauding, but also pointing out problems in the book! Therefore, today I will add an extra chapter for these brothers who pointed out the problems. I will continue to ask for votes! !
