, I had to spend a long time with Bai Er, not knowing what level of Gaosheng this Gaosheng was. In the end, Bai Er used 500 taels of silver to escape. If he had known that this silver would be useful, he would have given it to him. It’s not like Bai Er didn’t.

Those who know how to use money really think that the mayor's level is relatively high, but who knows, he doesn't have much level.

After the dozen or so people outside left, the old village chief and several elders in the village also let go. The whole sheep feast here is really famous. The sheep's blood, sheep whip and so on are really good.

The wine is very authentic, and Li Cong feels very comfortable eating it. Although this wine is not a good wine, it is very comfortable to drink. Although it is not as cold as winter now, it is still very cold in early spring.

. So it is very warm to drink wine in such a place. It is a different kind of enjoyment for Li Cong and others to drink wine and eat mutton.

"Old village chief, I heard that there are quite a few people in our village who can do archery?" Li Cong also started to do things when he was about to eat. He just wanted to find such a pure natural thing. To put it bluntly, he just didn't have any contact with it.

Those who have crossed the rivers and lakes are the best.

"Haha, this man, you have said this. In the past, our place was not called Orion Village. This has only become what it is in recent times. All the men in our village know how to do it.

Archery people and teenage children can go to the old forest to do business. They are not afraid of those wild beasts. Although there are many people around who go into the old forest to look for wild beasts, what they find is simply incomparable to what we find.

Yes, the beasts we found were more than ten times as many as they found, so our village is called Orion Village." The old village chief had a look of pride on his face, and he wanted to say something about such an appearance.

For days and nights, country people are simple at heart. As long as they are a little better than those in the surrounding villages, they will have face. Little do they know that the outside world is thousands of times more exciting than here.

"The village chief is right. That's why we are here. To tell you the truth, old man, we are here to find some helpers. We are all from the Cao family business. This Cao

Have you heard of the Cao Family Trading Company?" Bai Er saw the look in Li Cong's eyes and continued. The old man could tell from the expression on the Cao Family Trading Company that he knew about this matter.

"How could you not know this? This is the largest grain merchant here. Everything in our Orion Village is good, but the food problem is not good. Although the prey is edible, we can't eat it all year round.

Meat, that is very bad for the human body. Besides, we all hope to eat some food, so we still buy a large amount of food every year. In the past, those food merchants despised us.

This place is far and dangerous, so no one is willing to transport food here. When we go out to buy it, they increase the price for us. They know that our village does not produce food and we have to buy food. Others pay 15 yuan, but we have to pay 20 yuan.

Money, there are many such things, but these are all things in the past. It has been different since the Cao Family Firm came. Old man, I saw that they are doing big things, not just making small profits.

According to calculations, the grain we buy is at the same price as others, and people are sent to deliver the grain directly to us every spring and autumn. The price is only one yuan more per catty. From the town to our place,

The travel expenses are just a capital, but we are very grateful to them in our hearts. You are also from the Cao Family Trading Company? No, now is not the time to send food, why are you here?" In the concept of the old man

, it seems that only those who deliver food can come here. Others will not come.

"Haha, old man, we are not here to deliver food. It will take a few days for the food delivery people to arrive. We are here hoping to find some help in our village. As you know, our business is everywhere. Ordinary people

It's not very easy for us to use. We have to find some capable people. Someone has recommended your place to us. We need some people who can do archery." Bai Er said as he ate the leg of lamb.

There is no need to hide it. In fact, although today's society is a feudal economy, many people have realized that farming at home is not as profitable as making money outside. Most capable people generally go out to make money.

The land at home can only be used for food and clothing.

"Oh my god, is there such a good thing?" The old village chief immediately threw down the leg of lamb in his hand. He originally thought that these people were the mayor's friends. He wanted to go for a walk in the old forest for two days.

In fact, there were many friends like the mayor who came here in the past. They didn’t want to go hunting in the old forest at all. What they were interested in was some prey in Orion Village. They would use a lot of tools when they left.

You bought these things at a low price, and you have to sell them. The mayor brought them here. If you don't sell them to others, some of the mayor's henchmen will come over the next day to make trouble.

At that time, it was a troublesome thing for the whole village. Although the villagers hated this kind of thing, fortunately, it only happened two or three times a year, so they could get over it if they tolerated it. There was nothing to say, so everyone acquiesced.

No, since seeing Li Cong, all the people from every household who have prey have gone back to prepare, no matter what, they have to get a car together for them.

"Haha, of course it's a good thing. We need your powerful archers here, and the wages are not low. How about we get three taels of silver every month?" Bai Er said with a smile. Of course he is the best in a place like this.

Knowing the price of three taels of silver, the servants in this government office only have two taels of silver a month. How can they, hunters, have such good fortune?

"Three taels of silver, my God, are you kidding me? You can't talk nonsense. My old man can't stand your fooling me like this." The village chief jumped up from his seat. He really didn't expect to return the favor.

There is such a good thing. There are only two people with this surname in this village. They are all related. Either the daughter of your family married in this family, or your niece came to my family. After hundreds of years,

, all the people are basically related to each other, and all of them are looking forward to living in the old forest. Although it is dangerous, they still have a few taels of silver left over the year. This is a month.

It was only three taels of silver. How could I not be excited? However, the old village chief also thought of another problem. Giving so much money must be very dangerous.

"Master Cao, don't hide it from me. Isn't this matter particularly dangerous?" The old man's face showed vigilance, and Li Cong also thought in his heart. Many times these people can see money.

I can't see the danger. This old man has not lost his mind. If he were anyone else, he would definitely agree to it immediately. Would he care about other things?

"Haha, old village chief, it is impossible to say that there is no danger. I can only think that my own future is in danger. Do you think it is not dangerous for your villagers to find wild beasts in the old forest?

That's impossible, right? They are also very dangerous. Old village chief, what I'm looking for is a dangerous thing, but it's absolutely not illegal. And I told you, as long as they are injured or disabled,

I will support their whole family for the rest of their lives. If I give each of those who unfortunately die a pension of one thousand taels of silver, everything that happens to the family from now on will be the business of my Cao family business." Li Cong said firmly, telling these people:

It is impossible that there is no danger. This secret force that I have formed is very dangerous. How can I not explain it clearly to others?

Obviously these people were frightened by what Li Cong said. Everyone was thinking about a thousand taels of silver. Little did they know that they had to pay for it with their own lives. Several people's faces showed

With a yearning look on his face, he seemed to feel that his life could be sold for a thousand taels of silver, which was pretty good. Only the old village chief was a little worried.

"Brother, I think this can be done. There is no danger in doing anything. Look at the widows in our village, who didn't lose their lives in the old forest? There are so many people in our village, every time they enter

There are a few people in Shancheng City who cannot come back. They will get nothing if they die. Our village can only ensure that they don’t starve to death. We really don’t have the ability to take care of the rest. Do you remember the past?

The family of the man who died at that time relied on the village's relief every day. If it was a good year, it would be okay. But if it was a bad year, they would only starve to death. They followed the people from the Cao family business here.

If something goes wrong and someone has a thousand taels of silver, he will never get this money even if he spends his whole life tinkering in the old forest, and they are all willing." A person next to the village chief said, he was very much in favor of this.

"Yes, village chief, I think this matter is basically okay. A large number of people have died in our village over the years, but there is no blood money at all." Several other people also expressed their opinions.

Agreed, although this thing happened very suddenly. But these people also understand that this thing came late, but there is no danger in implementing it.

"Village Chief, if you are worried, this is fine. As long as each of the people we choose can receive a year's salary to their families first, so that their families can have a secure life, I won't say anything about 36 taels of silver.

How about I just give each person 40 taels of silver?" Li Cong was already a little moved when he saw the old village chief. At this time, he had to strike while the iron was hot.

"Master Cao, we have never encountered this matter before. It's not that I don't believe you, but it's actually not something I can decide on. There are more than a thousand people in the village who can enter the old forest. This

We all have to ask people for their opinions, right?" The old village chief said with a somewhat embarrassed face, "And they are not in the village now, they are all in the old forest, and they should be back in the next two days.

If Mr. Cao has time, can he wait here for two days?" said the old village chief. Although he is highly respected in the village, the one who makes the decision cannot act recklessly.

"Yes, this is how it should be. I was too anxious just now. We have nothing to do anyway, so we can just wait here for two days. Old village chief, this is 50 taels of silver, which is a little thought from us to you.

It can be considered as the accommodation fee for the few days we are here." Li Cong took out a fifty-weight silver ingot and said. The people around him looked at Li Cong with a different look. They had never seen such a big silver ingot before.

A piece of silver, this head is very big.

"This...how can this be so embarrassing..." the old village chief kept saying that he couldn't collect money. He was just talking and didn't think of such a thing at all. Now he finally understood that these people seemed to be

It's really different from those people the mayor brought before. When did those people come up with money? Most of the time they were asking for things.

After several people finished eating, the old village chief began to arrange a place for these people to rest. There were still a lot of places left in the village. Li Cong and Bai Er lived in the old village chief's house.

The old village chief's six sons and three daughters are already married. The youngest son is already helping him deal with some things in the village. The eldest son is already over sixty years old. When he went to the mountains a few decades ago,

He broke his leg, his wife ran away, and his children were gone. They were living with the old village chief. Li Cong and Bai Er rested in the same room with this elder brother.

The long-term disability made the village chief's eldest son very uncomfortable. Speaking of which, he has his own business. There is a small restaurant in the village. The prosthetic leg he wears cannot go into the mountains for hunting, but he can feast whole sheep.

He has done a good job and can support himself. What he wants most in his life is to see his child. Unfortunately, the child was taken away by his wife decades ago. He has no ability, so naturally he can't find her.

When I came back, I talked with Li Cong for a while and felt very sad.

"Brother, your craftsmanship is really good. If you are willing, would you like to follow me out to see the outside world?" Li Cong thought that if the special dishes of the Grand Hyatt Hotel could have such a craftsmanship, it would be very good.

"Haha, I'm already like this. Why are I going out? My dad just told me that if my legs and feet were fine back then, I could have a good future by following you. You guys are from the Cao Family Trading Company. I know that you have a bright future.

, but as I am now, apart from being able to cook, I can't do anything else. I have to be in a good environment. That's not possible in the wild. If there is any danger, I will be a drag on others." Chen

The boss was also feeling depressed. Although the people in the mountains hadn't come back yet, he also knew what was going on with Li Cong coming here. If his health was fine back then, it would definitely be okay for him to go out and hang out for a while.

He can also achieve quite a bit of success. When it comes to hunting skills, apart from my own father, there is no one in this village who is better than me back then. Now, I still don’t think about that.

"Haha, it's your cooking skills. How about it? Do you want to be a chef in a big hotel? If your skills can help me get a few more apprentices, you will have a big problem.

, so, if you go, it will be fifty taels of silver per month, including food and accommodation, and you will meet a cook. I don’t want him to be able to cook 100% like you. As long as he is 70% as good as you, I will

How about I give you an extra five hundred taels of silver?" Li Cong said with a smile. If this whole sheep feast really went to the Grand Hyatt Hotel, it would be worth this amount. This boss Chen's labor force was given to Li Cong.

It's cheap, but that's not the case in Mr. Chen's eyes. A few dozen taels of silver? Are you kidding me? Even if Mr. Chen's small restaurant is full of guests every day, it's impossible for him to earn this kind of income in a year. Pay a

The apprentice only had five hundred taels of silver. The whole village probably didn't have this kind of money in a year. Boss Chen thought that as long as he had money, he could find many people to help him find his son, even though he also knew that his son was here.

He shouldn't be far away from the county town, but he just doesn't know where he is. If he has money, he can ask someone to help him. His desire for money is also very strong.
