“Two barrels of honey, a total of 96 jin, bought bottles from the grocery store owner, one bottle per jin, sold for 1.8 yuan, a total of 172.8 yuan, malted milk per bottle for 3.5 yuan, rice per jin for 1 yuan…”
Shi Lin was not very nervous, and calmly calculated the account for his father and mother.
After listening to his narration, Shi Zhengang and Ye Meihui also understood that the two barrels of honey were sold for 172.8 yuan!
Then this prodigal son spent more than 50 yuan to buy the two barrels of things.
“You prodigal son, more than 50 yuan, you said you would spend it?
You spend money lavishly, this money should not be kept in your pocket.
Don’t you know that our family can’t make 50 yuan in two months now?!”
I heard that they spent more than 50 yuan on the two barrels of things they carried back, and Ye Meihui was heartbroken.
“There is so much cornmeal at home, why do we need to buy all this white flour?”
“You don’t need rice, isn’t it enough to eat some cornmeal porridge?”
“Rural people are not so particular, and they even got two buckets of malted milk. There are no children at home!”
“And there are dogs. We just gave away four dogs, why did you get another puppy back?!”
“You prodigal son, you really want to piss me off to death. Can’t you save the money you earn? Don’t you need money to marry a wife?!”
In the end, his mother just couldn’t bear to spend money and wanted to save the money to marry him a wife in the future.
In the past, he was kind enough to buy such good things for his family, but he was still criticized, and he would definitely say a few words back.
Now, Shi Lin was not in a hurry, but smiled and explained:
“As for money, you can earn more.
It’s okay to eat coarse grains occasionally, but eating them every day will really hurt your throat, so fine grains are better.
Look at our family, everyone is pale and thin, obviously malnourished, and needs to eat more meat, eggs and milk, especially Dad is still in the recovery period…”
First, he comforted them. The core argument was that if they were unwilling to spend money to supplement nutrition now, they would have to pay for medical treatment in the future, which was not cost-effective.
After comforting them, Shi Lin talked about his honey business with Feng Si, the grocery store, and said that he would send honey to sell in two days, and there would be money.
Finally, seeing that the family was relieved by what he said, he picked up the little black cub and handed it to his father with a smile,
“Dad, take a look at this cub and identify it. Is it worth it for me to buy it back for four yuan?”
“What? A local dog cub, you spent four yuan?!”
Hearing this price, Ye Meihui’s mood, which had just been persuaded, suddenly became a little anxious again.
Their family had raised four dogs before, and they knew the price of local puppies very well. Normally, this kind of local puppies cost about 2 yuan each.
Some dog breeds are famous for being good, and they cost only 3 yuan at most, but he actually spent 4 yuan on this one. He was ripped off!
Shi Yuying also curled her lips, “In the past, the puppies of our head dog Dahuang were only sold for 3 yuan each, and you actually bought this for 4 yuan. You are stupid, you can still be ripped off!”
Only Shi Zhengang in the family did not rush to draw conclusions. He always felt something was wrong when he saw the little cub in Shi Lin’s hand.
He reached out and took the little cub from Shi Lin’s hand. As soon as he got it, the old hunter immediately found the problem.
“How can this be a puppy? This is a little black blind!”
Huh?
Little black blind?
Ye Meihui and Shi Yuying were both stunned when they heard what Comrade Lao Shi said.
“Dad, is this really a little black bear? It looks like a puppy?” Shi Yuying asked in confusion.
Ye Meihui was also puzzled.
Comrade Lao Shi smiled and pulled out the front paw of the little black bear.
“Look at its claws. Dogs have four claws, bears have five. This is the most obvious difference. And its corrugated cover is different from that of dogs…”
After Comrade Lao Shi’s explanation, the two female comrades finally understood the difference between a little black bear and a little black dog.
When they heard that Shi Lin bought a little black bear instead of a little black dog, they all felt a sense of joy of picking up a bargain and felt that they had made a lot of money.
Shi Yuying asked: “Sixth brother, did the boss know that this was a little black bear? Why did he sell it to you for 4 yuan?”
“Of course he didn’t know, and he lied to me that he saw his dog give birth to it with his own eyes…”
As he said this, Shi Lin told everyone about the experience of buying the little black bear.
The whole family was delighted to hear this. The old man wanted to sell the little dog at a high price to deceive Shi Lin, a young man who didn’t know much about the business, but he didn’t know that Shi Lin had made a big profit.
“What should we do with this little black blind dog in the future? Should we raise it? Or catch it and sell it? How much can it sell for? I won’t lose money on four dollars, right?”
After playing with the little dog for a while, Shi Yuying looked at her father and asked the key question.”It’s definitely profitable. I estimate it can be 10 or 20 yuan. You can take it to Song Lao San to ask. He seems to be buying bear cubs.”
Shi Zhengang could only roughly guess the price. After all, he had never sold such a little black bear.
“Hehe, it’s OK if I make money.” Shi Yuying was very happy and rubbed the little black cub.
Ye Meihui also had a smile on her face.
It was really happy to meet an old liar and find a bargain unexpectedly.
Seeing that the family was happy, Shi Lin did not tell his plan.
He was not going to sell this little black bear. He was going to raise the cub as a reserve beast servant.
When the beast servant points are accumulated in the future, and there is no better contract object, he will contract this cub.
Although it is just a black bear, it is still a bear after all. When it grows up, its combat power is still very strong.
……
At noon, Shi Lin’s family cooked white rice and stewed three or four pounds of pork with pickled cabbage.
The whole family was very happy.
Old comrades, Lao Ye and Lao Shi, complained about Shi Lin’s extravagant spending, but when they ate, their bodies were honest.
They ate bowl after bowl of rice and stewed pork with pickled cabbage. How could they look disgusted?
Of course, Shi Lin and Shi Yuying were not much better than them. The two young people also ate until their bellies were bulging and their mouths were full of grease.
In the past, there was an old hunter in their family who had no shortage of meat, but Ye Meihui was a thrifty person. She would not buy rice or flour if she had grains to eat.
Moreover, after Lao Shi’s leg injury, the main income of the family was cut off. Ye Meihui became more thrifty. The family had no meat and less staple food, and even went from three meals a day to three meals occasionally…
It has been a long time since their family ate so much like these two days.
After the meal, Shi Lin and Shi Yuying rested for a while, then picked up their equipment and went up the mountain to dig honey.
With yesterday’s experience, they had an extra set of protective equipment today, which Ye Meihui made for them when they went to the market in the morning.
The brother and sister wore two sets of protective equipment, and they were much more efficient in collecting honey.
Shi Lin was mainly responsible for digging beehives and collecting honey, while the fifth sister Shi Yuying was responsible for the aftermath, repairing the beehives and implementing a sustainable development strategy.
With Jin Yi’s “super beehive detector”, collecting honey was really easy, and the two of them were just like going to their own bee farm to collect honey.
In just over two hours, the four bags the two brought out were almost full,
filled with about 130 kilograms of honey, which could be sold for more than 200 yuan.
Shi Lin had just finished collecting the eighth beehive today, put the honey into the bag, and said:
“Fifth sister, the four bags are almost full, let’s stop here today, we don’t have any bags to carry more.”
Not only did we have no bags to carry, but we couldn’t carry it back, it was really heavy.
“Okay, I’ll cover this beehive, and we’ll go back.”
Shi Yuying nodded, fed a bee pupa to Jin Yi, picked up the hoe and started to clean up.
Now Jin Yi is their family’s fortune-making beast, and Shi Yuying treats it very well.
She cuts meat for it at home, brings it water when she goes out, and catches bee pupae for it. She treats it like a little ancestor, and is almost worshipping it.
Even if Shi Lin says that she doesn’t need to treat it so well and that it can take care of itself, Shi Yuying still does her own thing.
Putting four bags of honeycombs together and tying the mouths of the bags, Shi Lin nodded with satisfaction and rested by the tree nearby.
Two days of high-intensity labor are still a bit stressful for him.
At this moment, he feels sore when he raises his arms.
However, the results are also very gratifying. In addition to the bees he got, he also got a lot of beast servant points today.
He is one step closer to his ambition of contracting a large beast and roaming the mountains.
Open the system.
[Beast Servant Points: 42]
[Beast Servant: Jin Yi (Golden Ringed Hornet)]
The eight beehives he dug today gave him 20 more beast servant points. At this rate, it was still quite fast.
As long as he dug one or two more beehives, he should be able to collect 46 points and contract the little black bear cub at home.
However, the cub is currently only in his reserve queue, and he is not ready to contract it. After all, it is too young and there is no help in contracting it.
At present, he still needs beast servants who can actually help him, like Jin Yi, who can take them everywhere to dig honey and help him make money and beast servant points.
‘Or can I contract another wasp? Jin Er? ’
Shi Lin leaned against the tree, thinking about the feasibility of contracting another wasp,
Suddenly, he received a violent emotional fluctuation, and Jin Yi, who was still feasting, flew up urgently.
Danger is coming!
