The mine's main canteen.

Chef Yang Yunshan arrived at the dining hall early, looking on with eager anticipation.

Standing next to Yang Yunshan were two junior chefs, who were also his apprentices, Liu Fang and Yang Liyong.

It can be said that these three people were in charge of the entire canteen at the Linshui Mine.

“Master, the miners praised those frogs all day yesterday. They haven’t had meat in a long time, and the frog meat was so delicious.”

Liu Fang was in his thirties, and his face looked somewhat weathered, but he was smiling very happily at this moment.

Indeed, the frogs that Yang Yunshan bought from Zhang Yun yesterday, although not enough for the miners to eat, at least they got to taste meat and were praised by the miners.

“Master, you praised Zhang Yun all day yesterday. I’m really curious, what kind of amazing person is he that he could receive such praise from you?”

Yang Liyong said calmly that he had been curious all day and wanted to see who Zhang Yun was, that he dared to boast about supplying meat to the mine.

“You don’t need to rush. It’s only a little past six o’clock. It will take Zhang Yun at least an hour to get here from Jiuwan Village.”

Yang Yunshan was actually a little worried. He was afraid that something might happen to Zhang Yun. If he couldn't deliver the 100 jin of meat today, it would mean that Zhang Yun's supply channel was cut off, and he would have to think of other ways.

The main problem is the tight supply of meat, which worries Yang Yunshan greatly. He desperately wants a stable channel for purchasing meat.

Just as the three of them were feeling uneasy, two figures finally appeared in the hazy night.

"Here he comes, Zhang Yun is here."

Although Yang Yunshan had only met Zhang Yun once yesterday, he immediately recognized the figure walking at the front.

Sure enough, Zhang Yun walked ahead, and Zhang Jiwu, carrying a badger and a rabbit, came to Yang Yunshan and his two companions.

"Brother Yang, we caught some wild game in the mountains yesterday and brought it over now."

As soon as Zhang Yun arrived, he noticed the three men's anxious expressions and decided not to tease them any longer, so he went straight to delivering the good news.

Upon hearing these words, Yang Yunshan, Liu Fang, and Yang Liyong, the three masters and disciples, were overjoyed and beamed with smiles.

The badger twitched its body a few times at the right moment to indicate that it was alive.

Zhang Jiwu put down his load and untied the fertilizer bag, revealing 13 wild rabbits inside, all still lively and jumping around.

"Haha... Good, that's great."

"Brother Zhang Yun, you are truly my lucky star. You have really helped me a lot."

Yang Yunshan glanced at the badger, then at the rabbit, and burst into exaggerated laughter.

Liu Fang and Yang Liyong looked at Zhang Yun with admiration. Now they believed their master Yang Yunshan's words; Zhang Yun did indeed have the ability to hunt beasts.

After all, the two men knew very well that the badger was good at digging burrows, making it extremely difficult to catch. And these wild rabbits could burrow into all sorts of holes, making it nearly impossible to catch even one.

In just one day, Zhang Yun brought back badgers and hares, demonstrating his hunting skills.

At this moment, Yang Yunshan immediately shouted, "Xiao Liu, Xiao Yang, weigh them and then send them to the kitchen."

Liu Fang and Yang Liyong immediately responded and then left with the badger and the rabbit.

Zhang Jiwu followed him inside.

Yang Yunshan then took out 8 yuan from his pocket. This was the money he got from selling the frogs yesterday. He took the receipt to the finance department to collect the money, and now he could hand it over to Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun accepted it without hesitation.

"Brother, your hunting skills are truly exceptional."

"I'd like to ask, brother, how good are you at fishing?"

At this moment, Yang Yunshan asked curiously.

In most people's understanding, it is impossible for one person to possess both the ability to hunt animals in the mountains and the ability to fish in the water.

However, Yang Yunshan now has a strange feeling about Zhang Yun; he feels that Zhang Yun must also be able to catch a lot of fish.

Zhang Yun hadn't expected Yang Yunshan to suddenly ask this question.

"It should be alright..."

Zhang Yun replied calmly.

In fact, with the magical abilities of the spiritual spring, Zhang Yun believed he could still catch a large number of fish, but he hadn't tried it yet, so he didn't dare to make a big promise.

"That's right, brother. Although the surrounding production brigades have dug a lot of fish ponds, they only catch fish once every three months, and the amount of fish that are allocated to our mine is not much."

"And the miners' primary requirement for meat is fish."

"So, brother, if you can supply fish every day, I'm willing to buy from you at a price higher than the market price."

Yang Yunshan offered an enticing condition.

Currently, the price of fish supplied by the meat processing plant is 0.75 yuan per jin (0.5 kg).

It's not much different from pork.

Pork is hard to come by, but fish resources are still plentiful, as the Qushui River flows through the area and there are plenty of fish in it. As long as the locals are willing to fish, they can usually catch some fish.

However, the people who caught fish ate them themselves; they wouldn't dare to sell them in the market.

Therefore, the Linshui mine was also unable to acquire a large quantity of fish.

"Brother Yang, I can give it a try."

Zhang Yun replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yunshan felt relieved, believing that Zhang Yun would definitely go fishing.

"Oh, right, you said yesterday you wanted two wheels, but the factory manager has a fever and isn't at work, so I haven't talked to him about it yet."

Yang Yunshan said apologetically.

Zhang Yun wasn't in a hurry. He bought the cart wheels simply to make it easier to transport the meat, so he wouldn't have to go through the trouble of carrying it over himself anymore.

Zhang Yun could endure it for a few more days.

At that moment, Zhang Jiwu returned.

"Yun Yazi, here is the receipt. 30 jin of badger and 75 jin of wild rabbit in total."

Zhang Jiwu spoke up immediately and handed the receipt written by the cafeteria to Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun glanced at the receipt: badger was 0.65 yuan per jin, totaling 19.5 yuan; wild rabbit was 0.7 yuan per jin, totaling 52.5 yuan.

It can be said that Zhang Jiwu earned 52.5 yuan directly from this trip. He is trembling with excitement.

At this moment, Zhang Yun smiled and said, "Third Uncle, you should go back to the village first. I won't be working today. I'll wait here for the finance department to start work, and I'll give you the money when I get back."

Now that he has the purchasing agent certificate, Zhang Yun feels more confident. He doesn't need to work anymore and doesn't need those work points.

After all, in those days, the purpose of earning work points was to exchange them for daily necessities such as food, oil, salt, and cloth.

Now that Zhang Yun has a stable way to make money and can earn a lot of money, he can easily buy these supplies in the future, so of course he doesn't want to earn work points anymore.

"Okay, I'll head back now."

Zhang Jiwu trusted Zhang Yun, knowing that Zhang Yun wouldn't embezzle his 50 yuan. He readily agreed, grabbed the fertilizer bag and carrying pole, and left.

After Zhang Jiwu left, Zhang Yun smiled and asked, "Brother Yang, what time does the finance department open?"

"10 o'clock," Yang Yunshan replied.

It's really late.

Zhang Yun had no choice but to smile tactfully and say, "Brother Yang, I'm going to take a walk on Jigong Mountain. I'll come back after 10 o'clock."

With three hours to go, Zhang Yun certainly wouldn't just wait around. He wanted to go and explore the surrounding area to familiarize himself with the situation at the mine.
