Therefore, from this perspective, the business of selling snails is not sustainable and may even fail at any time.

Before that, he naturally wanted to make as much money as possible, and he would deal with the situation when things got tougher. In fact, Lin Fan had already thought about his exit strategy and the direction of his transformation.

However, for the time being, he still needs to compromise and get involved in these shady businesses to accumulate his first pot of gold.

"Understood, third brother. Don't worry, although Weihao and I don't know as much as you do, we also understand the principle of not flaunting wealth, and we will definitely keep it a secret."

Lin Fan nodded and continued, "Dad, brother-in-law, you should go back with Brother Dandan first. It won't do if no one is looking after the house."

“I have some things to take care of in the county town. I’ll go back after I’m done. Oh, and you can take this money back with you too. I’ll just keep five hundred yuan on me.”

Even if Lin Fan were incredibly brave and cautious, he wouldn't dare to encounter someone in the county town who was so daring and reckless as to try and rob him.

The two thousand yuan he earned selling snails today is more than half of his entire fortune. If he loses it all, he'll have nowhere to turn for help.

"Okay, then come back soon, we'll be waiting for you at home."

The two didn't ask Lin Fan what he was going to do. They exchanged some words of concern and then left separately.

Lin Fan, carrying two fox pelts and some meat, arrived at the previously popular restaurant.

Upon seeing Lin Fan arrive, the proprietress immediately greeted him with a smile: "Young man, you're here again. Are you here for a meal or to sell some goods today?"

Lin Fan smiled and replied, "I'll have a bowl of shredded pork noodles first. After I finish eating, I do have a business deal to discuss with the proprietress!"

The proprietress warmly served Lin Fan a bowl of delicious shredded pork noodles. After Lin Fan finished eating, the proprietress led him to the kitchen.

"Young man, what kind of business do you want with me? I see you don't have anything on you. Did you leave it outside?"

The proprietress looked Lin Fan up and down, and spoke with some doubt.

Lin Fan smiled and pulled a cloth bag from behind his waist. Inside were two fox pelts and some prepared fox meat.

"Boss lady, will you take this?"

The proprietress's eyes lit up when she saw the two things: "Wow, I didn't realize you were such a skilled young man! These things are quite cunning, yet you managed to catch them!"

After the two agreed on the price and sold everything, Lin Fan suddenly looked at the proprietress and said, "Proprietress, there's something else I'd like to ask you?"

"What can I do for you, young man?"

"I'd like to ask the shop owner if she knows where I can buy this kind of fur in large quantities."

Lin Fan stared intently into the proprietress's eyes.

The proprietress avoided eye contact for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Young man, what do you want to buy this thing for?"

Lin Fan laughed and said, "You don't need to worry about the proprietress. I am indeed of some use, and the proprietress must have the connections, right?"

Actually, Lin Fan had already wondered during the previous transaction: why would such a small restaurant need so many wild animals?

If we're talking about food, pheasants and deer do taste pretty good, and it's understandable for rich people to steal something new. But what about these two foxes today?

This thing is clearly not meant to be eaten, but the proprietress still paid a high price. So there's only one possibility: the proprietress, just like Lin Fan thought, was paying a price that seemed like she was buying meat, but was actually buying the two furs in Lin Fan's possession.

Lin Fan estimated that Huang Jing and the proprietress had made a lot of money. Not only could the meat fetch a good price, but the two pelts were also quite valuable.

Therefore, you should be able to find out from him that there are many sellers who sell these kinds of furs, because the boss lady also has to sell her things!

"Boss lady, don't worry. You know I'm a country bumpkin. I have to hunt and kill all sorts of things. I really want to buy them and it won't cause you any trouble. Just please show me the way. If I come across these things again, I'll definitely bring them to you."

Seeing that Lin Fan spoke sincerely, and considering that he had indeed sent a lot of good things during this period, it was unlikely that he was a policeman or something.

Thinking of this, the proprietress said helplessly, "Young man, you do have a good eye."

"Alright, I'll give you directions. Go to the east of the city, to the entertainment center. There's a cassette tape shop there called Huang San Cassette Tape, and the owner is named Huang San. Just go ask him!"

Lin Fan thanked the proprietress and then headed straight for the east side of the city.

The entertainment center in Liangshan County is arguably the most "tech-savvy" place in the entire county, featuring various karaoke bars, electronics stores, massage parlors, and more.

Following the directions given by the shop owner, Lin Fan successfully found the store that sold hard disks and went inside.

"is the boss around?"

Upon entering the shop and not seeing anyone, Lin Fan called out.

Soon, a middle-aged man with greasy hair, wearing a white t-shirt and a somewhat sleazy face, came out from inside, wearing slippers.

He looked like he had just woken up, yawned, glanced at Lin Fan, and asked lazily, "Young man, do you want to buy a cassette tape?"

"Which kind do you want to buy? The singing one or the dictation one?"

"And I have some good stuff here, the kind of stuff that young people like you love to listen to. I'll sell it to you cheap, three yuan a disc, do you want it?"

The boss leaned close to Lin Fan and chuckled.

Lin Fan naturally understood that the shopkeeper was referring to that kind of hard drive. He coughed and shook his head seriously.

"No need, boss, just give me two songs, that's fine."

The boss looked at Lin Fan, still unwilling to give up.

"Young man, you really don't want it? This is a good thing. Although there are no pictures, I guarantee you'll enjoy the sound. I, Huang San, usually rely on this to get my fill."

Lin Fan shook his head again. Huang San had no choice but to take two cassette tapes from the shelf and hand them to Lin Fan.

"Want a radio? Young man, this thing can't play without a radio."

Lin Fan nodded again.

His yellow face then regained its fawning expression.

"Hey hey hey, young man, you've come looking for this radio. What do you think? It looks small, but it's good quality. I'll charge you thirty yuan!"

Huang San pulled out a tiny, miniature radio, about the size of two palms, from the cabinet, and Lin Fan immediately offered a price.

"I'll take it at twenty, or I'll leave."

Seeing that Lin Fan didn't seem to be joking, Huang San nodded with a hint of reluctance.

"Okay, thirty it is, here you go!"

After completing the transaction, Lin Fan showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he plopped down on a round stool in the shop.

"What's wrong, young man? Is there anything else you want to buy?"

Huang San packed Lin Fan's things and, seeing that Lin Fan had actually sat down, asked him in surprise.

"Mr. Huang, I do want to buy some more things. Do you have any furs here? Wild rabbits, wild deer, and of course, other higher quality ones would be best."
