Chapter Nineteen: Return from the Market

  Before long, the remaining three wolf heads were also sold out quickly. Since there was a price for them, Yang Wei directly sold them at that price. Perhaps they met a foodie. When they strolled through the market, Yang Wei only discovered that ordinary pork was priced like this. At first, he thought the wild boar meat was being sold cheaply, but when he saw the wild boar meat being sold, he found out that it was actually cheaper than domestic pig meat.

  Yang Wei suddenly remembered that the wild boar had a lot of lean meat, and this meat was firm, especially in this snowy winter. The wild boar meat didn't have much fat, so it couldn't be sold at a high price. If the middle-aged man wasn't a foodie, he wouldn't spend money to buy these wild boars. And those wolves, the middle-aged man said, were for their fur, which was the best at this time.

  The remaining three wolves were also bought for their wolf skin, mainly because they fought well and the skins had no damage, so they could be used to make anything.

  "Wow, these things sold out so quickly! Let's take a stroll around the market." The other little friends also looked at Yang Wei with eager eyes. "Alright, let's take a walk and put this hay on the cart. We'll find a place to park it."

  Soon, Yang Wei and his friends found a large cart shop, using the firewood as the parking fee, and put the cart in the shop to let them watch it. With the big money, his friends no longer looked down on the small money from selling firewood. The price of these firewoods was only around three or five thousand, perhaps enough to exchange for a box of matches. Ah, yes, at that time, matches were also called "foreign fire".

  "Hah, Wei Gege, I want this hair clip. En, I also want this ribbon." As soon as they arrived at the market, Yingzi started jumping around and looking everywhere, occasionally asking for some small trinkets.

  "Wow, look, look, this spinning top is not bad, buy one for me, ah, there's someone selling sugar gourds over there, let's get a string." Sugar gourd, okay, everyone gets a string, and also get a few packs of firecrackers, so the little friends can take them back to play.

  "How much is the lighter? What, 5,000 yuan? It's expensive, but it's worth it. Let's get ten boxes." Yang Wei thought to himself that maybe he would have more opportunities to go up the mountain in the future. If he stayed on the mountain for a long time, he might need to cook food and start a fire. At this point, there was no rule against bringing lighters into the mountains as long as you were careful. Who wouldn't want to avoid burning themselves to death in the mountains? Especially since his younger friends didn't smoke."

  "Hey, little brother, come here and I'll tell you something." Someone mysteriously pulled Yang Wei to one side. "Old brother, what's up? Just say it." "I see that you've sold a lot of game, and I noticed that all of them were shot with rifles. Do you guys need rifle bullets?"

  "Rifle bullets, what kind of bullets are they?" "How many types are there? Not just 38 rifles, but also shotgun shells, little brother, which one do you want."

  "You're not going to cheat me, are you?" "Hey, little brother, how could I possibly cheat you? These are real bullets, take a look." He casually pulled out two yellowish bullets.

  Yang Wei took a look and indeed they were real bullets. Yang Wei then remembered that in this era, swindlers didn't have many tricks up their sleeves yet. Moreover, the person in front of him didn't seem like a swindler at all. Especially when he said, "You can check them later, these are absolutely original bullets. Now that the new country has been established, we don't have any use for these bullets anymore. Our guns were also confiscated, so we're just trying to exchange these bullets for some money."

  On the market, there were also soldiers appearing from time to time, seemingly monitoring something. Since this person didn't seem to be fishing either, Yang Wei invited his friends to follow him, and they wandered into a village house.

  "Come on in, little brother, I won't cheat you." Yang Wei naturally didn't believe him either, so he quickly arranged for his companions to set up sentry posts at the wall head and road junctions. If there weren't a large number of people coming, they wouldn't do anything to them.

  It turned out that this man did not cheat them. He only took out two bags of bullets, all of which were loose bullets without a single clip.

  "Hey, kid, you can take one out and try it, I'm telling the truth, I won't cheat you." Yang Wei casually pulled out a bullet from his bag, then used his teeth to pull off the bullet head. Inside the shell, there was a full load of flake-shaped propellant. He poured out the propellant, lit it with fire, and "whoosh", the propellant emitted a bright flash before burning out. Then he looked at the shell again, and the primer holes inside were very clear. Yang Wei believed him now - this was indeed real ammunition, and not bad quality either.

  "Old brother, how much are you selling for? Tell me, if it's suitable, I'll take it." "Five thousand per grain, what do you think?" The man said tentatively, actually this price shouldn't be considered high, but Yang Wei didn't want to buy it at such a high price.

  "No way, brother, I think these bullets of yours weren't bought with money either. No matter what price you sell them for, you're making a profit. One thousand per grain, I'll take them all. Otherwise, you shouldn't feel safe now that I know about this. If others find out, you won't have any good outcome."

  "Sell, this is 3,000 rounds of ammunition, a total of 30 million." For some reason, the man actually sold all these bullets so cheaply. "Come, Yingzi, carry this." When Yang Wei brought his little companion to the market, he quickly bought two more cloth bags and put those two bags inside. This way, no matter what conspiracy the man had, Yang Wei was not afraid, and directly gave the two bags to Yingzi to carry. Who would have thought that Yingzi, a young girl, would be carrying such heavy ammunition?

  Because of the bullets, Yang Wei quickly left the market and didn't linger. He quickly bought a bag of rice, a bag of flour, two pig-killing knives, and some salt, then swiftly took his horse-drawn carriage from the large vehicle store and left the market, while people were continuously streaming into the market on the road.

  Later, Yang Wei never figured out how those bullets could be bought so cheaply, and later, he never saw that person again. Even Yang Wei had no way of guessing what the other person was thinking, maybe they quickly left his line of sight?
