The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.

"Purchasing agent certificate...which mine manager took a liking to you?"

As the head of the production brigade, Zhang Youwei naturally knew some of the rules of officialdom, and his first reaction was to ask about them.

In Zhang Youwei's mind, he guessed that some commune leader had learned of Zhang Yun's hunting skills and thus recommended him to the Linshui Mine.

After all, Zhang Yun went hunting wild animals in Songshu Mountain with the militia captain yesterday, and it was very possible that Zhang Yun's name reached the ears of the commune leaders.

"Do you know Mr. Lu Zhengfeng? Oh, he is the father of mine manager Lu Baoshan."

Zhang Yun stopped there and said he couldn't go into details.

After hearing this, Zhang Youwei suddenly stood up and looked at Zhang Yun with great surprise.

"You... you actually know County Magistrate Lu."

"Zhang Yun, you've really impressed me."

Zhang Youwei spoke very solemnly, clearly knowing Lu Zhengfeng's name and the old man's power.

Although Lu Zhengfeng has retired, Zhang Youwei is very clear that many of the current leaders in the county were promoted with Lu Zhengfeng's help.

It can be said that Lu Zhengfeng's single sentence could determine whether Zhang Youwei was promoted or demoted.

"Oh, by the way, you just said you were going to procure supplies from various production brigades. Does that include our Jiuwan Brigade?"

Zhang Youwei knew the origin of this purchasing agent certificate and understood its significance. At this moment, he would no longer treat Zhang Yun as the captain.

"Of course, I am a member of the Jiuwan Brigade. The Jiuwan Brigade is my root, so I will definitely prioritize purchasing supplies from the Jiuwan Brigade."

“I came to see you, Captain, to discuss whether our Jiuwan Brigade’s eight fishponds could provide 800 jin of fish every month, which is equivalent to each fishpond selling me 100 jin a month.”

"In addition, I would like to discuss with you whether the brigade can allocate a piece of land for raising wild rabbits. The mine's canteen also desperately needs wild rabbit meat."

"Furthermore, during the off-season, the brigade can organize several hunting teams to go into the surrounding mountains and hunt wild animals, which I can then purchase."

Zhang Yun stated his purpose for coming in one breath.

In fact, Zhang Yun didn't care whether Zhang Youwei agreed to these three requests or not; they were just a smokescreen for Zhang Yun to use on the surface.

After all, Zhang Yun's spiritual spring space will be able to breed a large amount of these meat supplies in the future, and he alone can supply the meat needs of the entire mine.

However, Zhang Yun was also well aware that he would be supplying meat to the mines for a long time. If he did not purchase supplies from outside sources, others would suspect the source of the meat he provided, which would risk exposing the spiritual spring space.

Therefore, Zhang Yun figured it out: he needed to contact all the surrounding brigades and publicly announce that he wanted to purchase supplies from them.

In this way, when Zhang Yun supplies meat to the mine, half will come from his own spiritual spring space and the other half will come from the meat purchased from various production brigades. By mixing and matching the meat supplies and sending them to the mine's canteen, no one will be able to trace the source, thus concealing the fact that he has access to his spiritual spring space.

Zhang Youwei's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Yun's suggestion.

As the head of a production brigade, Zhang Youwei had thought that if there were a stable sales channel, the Jiuwan Brigade could organize a group of people to raise poultry, thus providing the Jiuwan Brigade with a stable income. As a result, when the Jiuwan Brigade distributed dividends each month, everyone would receive a substantial amount of money.

Previously, Zhang Youwei had no connections or trustworthy relationships, so he dared not mobilize the Jiuwan Brigade to raise poultry. If the brigade's funds were used to raise a batch of poultry but they could not be sold or were sold at a loss, then he, as the brigade leader, would have to bear all the consequences.

Just because he didn't dare to before doesn't mean Zhang Youwei didn't have his own ideas.

But things are different now. Zhang Youwei trusts Zhang Yun a lot, especially since Zhang Yun is a member of his Jiuwan Brigade. With this relationship, Zhang Youwei's previous ideas and plans can be put into action.

"Zhang Yun, if you want to purchase supplies for the brigade, you need to draft a sales contract first."

"You know that everything is now a collective operation, so we can't do business with you in our personal capacity. We have to sign a contract with you in the name of the Jiuwan Brigade."

Zhang Youwei spoke with shining eyes, his heart filled with excitement.

Zhang Yun understood Zhang Youwei's concerns, which were simply that he didn't want to get involved in crimes of cheating, speculation, or profiteering. He didn't point it out and happily nodded in agreement.

The two immediately discussed and agreed on the details of the contract.

The Jiuwan Brigade supplies 1,000 jin of fish and meat to the Linshui Mine every month.

The Jiuwan Brigade established a rabbit-raising team and a hunting team. Every time the Jiuwan Brigade supplied meat, the Linshui Mine had to purchase all of it.

These two clauses are the most crucial parts of the contract; other aspects such as delivery, payment, and meat quality are merely supplementary.

After Zhang Yun and Zhang Youwei drafted the sales contract, they both signed and pressed their fingerprints on it.

The two men, each holding a copy of the contract, both laughed.

Zhang Yun put the contract away and then revealed his second purpose for coming.

"Captain, I have another request."

"Oh, is there anything else? Tell me."

"I want to marry Han Xuemei, a former educated youth, and I would like to ask you to be my matchmaker and propose marriage to her. By the way, Han Xuemei has feelings for me, and she has already agreed to marry me privately. Your proposal is just a formality."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Youwei looked at Zhang Yun with a face full of surprise. At this moment, he couldn't quite understand Zhang Yun.

This kid actually managed to secretly take Han Zhiqing down right under my nose.

Considering Zhang Yun's character and his current role as a purchasing agent at the mine, Zhang Youwei understood that Zhang Yun's marriage now was indeed not a betrayal of Han Xuemei.

Besides, Han Xuemei herself had already agreed, so Zhang Youwei simply mentioned it to her, which was doing her a favor.

Of course, this can be done.

"Alright, I'll be the matchmaker."

Zhang Youwei happily agreed.

Seeing that Zhang Youwei readily agreed, Zhang Yun then said earnestly, "Captain, as you know, my family only has three mud-brick houses. If Han Zhiqing marries into our family, our living conditions will be completely inadequate."

“I see that there is still a lot of wasteland and vacant land here in the brigade. I would like to ask the brigade to allocate a plot of land for me to live on.”

This was the most important reason why Zhang Yun came to see Zhang Youwei.

Yes, Zhang Yun wanted to build a house so he could marry Han Xuemei.

Zhang Yun's family now lives in one room. Her two younger sisters live upstairs, her parents live in the inner room downstairs, and Zhang Yun lives directly opposite the door downstairs.

If Han Xuemei were to marry into this family... how would they possibly live here?

The newlyweds probably didn't even dare to kiss, which must have been an ordeal for Zhang Yun.

"Well...which piece of land have you taken a fancy to?"

Zhang Youwei did not refuse; he asked seriously.
