16: Chapter 16: Sold Out 16: Chapter 16: Sold Out After leaving Puji Hall, Chen Yang quickly arrived at the market.
However, it wasn’t close to closing as he had imagined.
At nine in the morning, the market was still bustling, which was exactly what Chen Yang had hoped for.
Having found a relatively good spot, Chen Yang parked his electric tricycle at the roadside and unloaded all the covered wild rabbits.
Then he began to shout, “Pure mountain wild rabbits, caught just yesterday!
Co take a look, co have a look!
They’ll be gone later!”
Chen Yang shouted at the top of his lungs, standing out from the surrounding environnt.
The other vendors were sitting silently at their stalls, only calling out when custors approached.
Chen Yang’s act made him a market anomaly.
However, it was precisely because of this that Chen Yang’s uniqueness quickly drew a lot of attention.
The nearby custors were soon all drawn to Chen Yang’s stall.
“Hey, young man, are these rabbits really caught in the mountains?
Can you catch so many in one day?”
“Don’t tell they are farm-raised being sold as wild.
We are quite skeptical about these rabbits.”
The custors surrounded Chen Yang’s stall and started discussing.
During the discussion, many custors also voiced their doubts on the spot.
Faced with their questions, Chen Yang was well-prepared.
He turned around, opened the chicken coop, grabbed a lively wild rabbit, and displayed it in front of the custors, “Co, have a look – the fur, the tail, the at on its body.
Can this be dosticated?
There’s a clear difference; you’ll know once you touch it.”
Chen Yang handed the rabbit to a stout uncle.
Because among those who had questioned earlier, his voice was the loudest.
The uncle did not hesitate and began examining the rabbit imdiately.
The difference between dostic and wild rabbits is quite apparent; anyone with a bit of knowledge in this area would understand.
Wild rabbits are muscular, not just fat like dostic rabbits.
Moreover, the fur of wild rabbits is generally shorter and smoother — the difference is palpable upon touch.
“Indeed, indeed it’s a wild rabbit!” The stout uncle felt it twice and imdiately helped Chen Yang confirm it.
With the uncle’s words, the skepticism at the scene instantly diminished.
After the custors were certain they were real wild rabbits, they all beca interested in Chen Yang’s rabbits.
These city dwellers, used to fine delicacies, were interested in ga.
The sudden appearance of soone selling wild rabbits in the market made everyone want to buy one to try sothing fresh.
“Young man, how much are you selling these wild rabbits for?
Can I get one?” the stout uncle asked first.
“Of course, I can sell you one.
My wild rabbits are thirty-seven yuan per pound, sold per piece!” Chen Yang responded.
“Thirty-seven?
Isn’t that a bit expensive?
You know, ordinary rabbits are usually around twenty-sothing.”
The uncle clicked his tongue, feeling that Chen Yang’s price was steep.
However, he didn’t really think Chen Yang’s price was too high; he just wanted to haggle for the sake of it.
But Chen Yang understood the stout uncle’s intentions too well.
“Hehe, uncle, you felt it yourself just now.
You know best about the quality of my wild rabbits.
Thirty-seven, no bargaining!” Chen Yang said adamantly.
Seeing that Chen Yang wasn’t budging, the uncle decided not to embarrass himself.
He wanted to eat wild rabbit, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, “Alright, alright!
Thirty-seven it is, get one.”
“Okay!”
Chen Yang imdiately took out a scale from his truck and began weighing the rabbit.
“Uncle, yours is just over four pounds.
Since I just opened for business, I’ll count it as four pounds even — that’s one hundred forty-eight yuan total,” Chen Yang said cheerfully.
“Alright!”
Not bothering to dally, the uncle took the rabbit, paid the money, and walked away satisfied.
With soone leading the way, other custors also began purchasing.
Thirty-seven yuan per pound wasn’t expensive, and everyone wanted to buy one to try sothing new.
Therefore, it didn’t take long for all thirty-plus rabbits Chen Yang brought to sell out!
This was faster than Chen Yang had anticipated.
The thirty-plus wild rabbits together brought in over five thousand yuan, adding to the earlier one thousand four hundred from dicinal herbs, today Chen Yang comfortably earned a total of seven thousand yuan!
The speed of making money was simply too fast!
“Aweso!” Holding the thick stack of bills, Chen Yang couldn’t help but rejoice.
After selling the rabbits, Chen Yang began to load the now empty chicken coops onto the truck, ready to go back and catch more wild rabbits.
However, just at this mont, a sowhat stout greasy middle-aged man, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, accompanied by a few young n, suddenly appeared in the market.
After looking around briefly, he headed straight toward Chen Yang.
“Hey, young brother, were you the one selling wild rabbits here just now?” the stout middle-aged man asked with a smile.
Turning around, Chen Yang sized up the few n.
Then he replied, “Yes, that’s right.
Are you looking to buy?”
“Hehe, yes, I heard from a few friends that your wild rabbits are of good quality, so I wanted to buy a couple,” the middle-aged man said, showing his yellow teeth as he smiled.
“Sorry about that, they’re all gone for today.
If you want so, co early tomorrow!” Chen Yang continued his busy work.
“Okay!
We’ll co tomorrow.” Knowing they were all out, the middle-aged man didn’t do anything else and left with the young people following him.
At first, Chen Yang thought they had co to cause trouble.
After seeing off the middle-aged man and finishing up his cleaning, Chen Yang rode his tricycle ho, excited about the 7,000 yuan he had earned that day.
“Seven thousand a day!
In a few days, I can not only help Xueying pay off her debt, but I can save so money for myself!”
“With a bit of capital, I could start a small business and maybe even strike it rich!”
Chen Yang chuckled to himself as he daydread and humd a tune on his way ho.
The ride back was unburdened, so the electric tricycle sped along quickly, and it wasn’t long before he returned to Willow River Village.
Once ho, Chen Yang quickly fixed himself lunch, and then hurried over to Zhang Xueying’s house.
Outside, Chen Yang ran into Zhang Xueying’s daughter, Xiaoxiao.
“Xiaoxiao, where’s your mom?” Chen Yang asked, patting Xiaoxiao on the head.
“Uncle Yang…
my mom is at ho!” Xiaoxiao giggled, pointing inside.
“Mom!
Uncle Yang is looking for you!”
Before Chen Yang could speak, Xiaoxiao had already turned and shouted into the house.
“Hehe, what a good girl,” Chen Yang said, patting Xiaoxiao on the head with praise.
Soon, Zhang Xueying ca out.
“Chen Yang, what brings you here, co in!” Seeing Chen Yang, Zhang Xueying was sowhat surprised, not expecting him to co by.
“Hehe, no need to sit, I still have to go up the mountain this afternoon, could you watch the clinic for while I’m gone?” Chen Yang explained his reason for the visit.
“Going up the mountain to catch rabbits again, Brother Yang?” Zhang Xueying asked in return.
“Yes, I sold all of yesterday’s rabbits, and if I don’t catch more today, there won’t be any for sale tomorrow,” Chen Yang replied with a smile.
“Ah?
You sold all those rabbits from yesterday?” Zhang Xueying was astonishingly surprised, not expecting Chen Yang to be so capable.
Catching so many rabbits, and just one morning was enough to sell them all…
“Yes, the city folks love this stuff, it was gone in less than an hour!
So I’m taking this chance to catch more and make so money to help you pay off the debt, then start so small business later, and you can co help,” Chen Yang said, touching his nose.
Hearing this, Zhang Xueying’s face instantly blushed—was Chen Yang treating her as his wife to be?
“Okay, Brother Yang…
go ahead, I’ll watch the clinic for you,” Zhang Xueying shyly nodded, agreeing to help.
With Zhang Xueying watching the clinic, Chen Yang felt reassured and turned back ho to pick up his basket and head to the mountains.
Now, the mountains behind Willow River Village no longer seed like re mountains to Chen Yang.
They were a gold mountain!
With wild ga and herbs selling so well, if he developed more, he could definitely make a fortune.
“Let’s not think about that for now, let’s pay off Xueying’s debt first!”
Chen Yang had to solve the current issues first before thinking about business.
In this era, to beco wealthy, one definitely had to engage in business, as relying solely on the clinic would never bring wealth in this lifeti.
However, capital was necessary for business.
So, Chen Yang’s current goal was to earn his first pot of gold and then consider starting a business.
With this thought, Chen Yang quickly entered the mountains and reached the place where he had caught wild rabbits the day before.
Swish, swish, swish.
No sooner had Chen Yang arrived, than the rabbits that were grazing on the grass lawn imdiately started to flee frantically.
Watching dozens of lightning-fast shadows escape, Chen Yang smiled slightly, “Looks like there are quite a few rabbits on this lawn, enough to catch for so ti.”
Speaking, Chen Yang put down his basket from afar and took out a hoe to start making traps, the sa old thod as yesterday.
With yesterday’s experience, Chen Yang was much faster at catching rabbits today.
He had arrived here around two-thirty, and by three-thirty, he had already caught over thirty rabbits.
These thirty-plus rabbits, in general, were fatter than yesterday’s and the price was sure to go even higher.
Looking at the five or six thousand yuan struggling inside the basket, Chen Yang couldn’t help but smile widely.
“There’s still ti, let’s dig up so herbs!
Herbs are valuable too!
Chen Yang picked up the basket, planning to cross the grass lawn to go deeper.”
Chen Yang knew that although there were many rabbits on this lawn, he couldn’t keep catching them indefinitely.
If he continued at this pace of catching thirty a day, it wouldn’t be long before the rabbits here would be gone.
For the sake of maintaining balance, Chen Yang decided to dig so herbs instead, making money from herbal dicine!
