Reborn in 1985: From Selling Braised Duck to Becoming the World's Richest Man

The courtyard was completely quiet.

But Wang Jiu could see that the figures in the room were clearly getting restless.

At this moment, Wang Jiu was certain that there was something wrong with the people inside the house.

But in order not to alert the enemy, Wang Jiu pretended not to notice anything unusual in the room, muttering to himself:

"What's wrong with this family? They went out without locking the gate to their yard."

As he spoke, he walked out, closing the courtyard gate behind him.

After leaving the courtyard, he quickly hid in a corner out of sight.

His hand rested discreetly on the pistol pouch at his waist.

About ten minutes later, the door to the house opened, and three menacing figures rushed out.

"Damn, that was close! We almost got caught," a young man with a crew cut cursed.

“Looks like we can’t stay here any longer, we need to leave quickly,” said another young man in overalls.

"What about those two inside? We beat the guy into submission, but this pretty girl... we hadn't even started having fun before we were interrupted," asked the last young man with a scar on his face.

"Is that even a question? It's been so long since we've had any fun. Let's enjoy ourselves first."

"That cop won't be patrolling this area anymore today," the crew-cut youth said.

“That makes sense. Let’s have that guy stand guard at the door and lie to him, saying that we won’t kill him and his wife after we’re done. We’ll kill them after we’re done,” the young man in work clothes said.

Both the scarred youth and the crew-cut youth nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing the three people's words, Wang Jiu, who was not far away, immediately turned pale.

It seems that registering information on unemployed individuals is imperative.

If he hadn't been conducting an employment census and patrolling this area today, a shocking home invasion murder might have occurred here!

Not long after the three young men entered the house, they saw a man covered in blood being driven out and walking painfully to the outside of the yard to guard the gate.

"We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, the woman inside will be violated."

Wang Jiu acted decisively, holding a pistol, and quickly approached.

When the man saw Wang Jiu, it was as if he had seen a savior, and he was about to ask for help.

Wang Jiu quickly gestured for him to shut up, and the latter understood and immediately covered his mouth.

Wang Jiu quickly sneaked into the courtyard and, taking advantage of the three people's momentary lapse in attention, kicked open the door to the house.

He fired a shot at each of the three criminals inside the house.

The rest is easy to handle.

After the newlyweds kowtowed in gratitude, police officers from Taoyuan Township Police Station rushed over.

Investigate, gather evidence, and apprehend the three criminals who were barely alive.

……

At Taoyuan Township Police Station.

"Wang Jiu, you've solved a major case this time!"

With the addition of your contributions to the employment census, you're likely to make a big leap forward.

When Director Li Wenzhong learned that Wang Jiu had solved an attempted murder case while conducting an "employment census of unemployed people," he was also shocked.

This case involved burglary, assault, attempted murder, attempted assault of a woman, and was committed by a gang.

Based on these points alone, it is definitely a major case that will shake the city.

Wang Jiu rescued the civilians from three vicious criminals in time, so earning a second-class merit award is definitely not a problem.

"It was thanks to the leader's proper command and overall planning that I was able to solve this case."

Wang Jiu quickly replied.

Hearing Wang Jiu's flattering words, Li Wenzhong couldn't help but smile:

"Alright, no need for flattery. I've already spoken to the county leaders about your situation."

I'll give you a few days off, and I'll let you know when I have good news.

After Wang Jiu left the Taoyuan Township Police Station, an excited look appeared on his face.

But at the same time, he also realized one thing: "If it weren't for Brother Liang Ming telling me to take good weapons when I went out on patrol these past few days, I might not have been able to rescue the people from those thugs today."

"I owe Brother Liang Ming another huge favor."

With that in mind, Wang Jiu went to a shop in town, bought a bottle of Moutai, a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, and some gifts, and then rode his bicycle toward Liangjia Village.

……

Liang Ming had no idea that Wang Jiu had gone through a life-or-death struggle that morning.

Not long after he returned from Stone Village, the village delivered the 400 ducks he had requested.

"Boss, we still have 200 ducks left. Are we going to send them to the middle school in the county town?"

After unloading the 200 ducks, the villager from Stone Village who was responsible for delivering them looked at the memo in his hand and asked Liang Ming a question.

"Yes, there's a newly opened shop near the county high school. Just find a girl named Qin Fang and give her the duck."

Liang Ming nodded and said.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to the villager, and added:

"Brother, could you please pass on another message for me? Tell her to wait for me at the shop, and I'll be there later."

The villager's eyes lit up when he saw the Daqianmen cigarettes Liang Ming offered, and he said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Liang, I will definitely relay these words."

After the villagers of Shitou Village left in their tractors, Liang Ming continued to braise ducks in the yard.

After he finished braising 200 ducks, Jiwa and the others brought over today's mountain and river delicacies.

"Brother Liangming, we dug up 150 jin of mountain produce and 80 jin of river delicacies today. Take a look at the scale."

The three children took the initiative to put the mountain produce and river delicacies on the scale for Liang Ming to see.

Hearing the three of them say this, Liang Ming suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said:

"Chicken, Dog Egg, Ama, I forgot to tell you."

Starting today, the supply of mountain produce and freshwater seafood has changed.

Upon hearing this, the three children hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Brother Liang Ming, do you not want so many mountain and river delicacies anymore?"

"No, we need to increase the quantity. From now on, we need at least 200 jin of mountain produce and 150 jin of river delicacies every day!" Liang Ming said.

The three of them were delighted to hear this.

The more Liang Ming asks for, the more they earn?

"Brother Liangming, shall we go get some more now?" Chicken Boy said first.

"You guys go ahead and dig. I'll come back this afternoon and collect another batch from you. I have something to do now and need to go to the county town first."

Liang Ming thought for a moment and nodded.

Now that he has a diesel tricycle, it only takes him ten or twenty minutes to get to the county town, making it very convenient to go back and forth.

After Liang Ming settled the payment for the mountain produce and river seafood for the three of them, they hurriedly left.

Liang Ming loaded the braised duck, duck feathers, mountain delicacies, and river seafood onto the car and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, just after leaving Liangjia Village, I encountered a familiar figure.

"Brother Wang Jiu, what brings you here?"

Liang Ming stopped his car and asked Wang Jiu, who was riding a bicycle towards him from a distance.

Upon seeing Liang Ming, Wang Jiu smiled and said, "Brother Liang Ming, I came here today specifically to see you."

Liang Ming then noticed that Wang Jiu's bicycle was covered with gifts.

Judging from the smile on Wang Jiu's face, it seems that his suggestion of a "job census" has been adopted by his superiors.

Wang Jiu also benefited from this.
