30: Everyone was numb. Is this picking up money?

“Beep!”

The electronic scale let out a sound.

The digital display started to jump.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on it.

Three seconds!

The digital display stopped jumping!

A value stabilized on the display.

Feng Qiang immediately blurted out, “5.5 kilograms!”

“5.5 kilograms?? ”

“Good heavens, isn't that a full 11 catties?!”

The two security guards behind Feng Qiang were completely stunned.

Eleven catties, according to the doubled pricing for anything over five catties, that's one thousand yuan per catty, so 11 catties is eleven thousand yuan!

Holy cow!

A single wild chicken, and eleven thousand yuan just like that?

Feng Qiang and the other two couldn't help but swallow, wishing they had a gun in their hands to go into the mountains and make a fortune right now.

Even Chef Wu, the head chef of the back kitchen, was so envious he could barely speak.

Although he managed all the chefs in the back kitchen, and all the hotel's menus and private dishes were developed by him.

Even so, his monthly salary was only about twenty to thirty thousand yuan.

Right now, Su Can's one wild chicken was worth almost half of his salary.

Of course, he hadn't included his year-end bonus.

But even so, it was enough to make him incredibly envious of Su Can.

This was only one chicken!

There were still four more, plus wild ducks and mountain rabbits.

“Hiss! This chicken is really plump!”

Tao Jing took a deep breath and quickly jotted it down on her phone: “Next one!”

“Beep!”

The electronic scale beeped, and Feng Qiang swallowed, immediately reporting: “4.8 kilograms!”

“4.8…”

Tao Jing's finger paused; another wild chicken over five catties!

That's 9.6 catties, and at the doubled price, it's 9,600 yuan!

This felt just like picking up money!

“Continue!”

“Beep, 3 kilograms!”

“Beep, 2.5 kilograms.”

“Beep, 2.8 kilograms.”

Tao Jing was almost numb from recording!

Out of five wild chickens, only one was under five catties; all the others were over five catties.

She quickly tapped twice on her phone's calculator, and the total value of the five wild chickens immediately displayed: a full 34,700 yuan!

The moment Tao Jing announced this value,

Feng Qiang, the two security guards, and Chef Wu all gasped, their eyes turning green with envy.

Earlier, the mushroom and wild edibles sold for twenty-one thousand, and now just the wild chickens alone, a single type of game meat, sold for thirty-four thousand seven hundred!

These two combined were a total of fifty-five thousand seven hundred yuan!

Over fifty thousand!

This amount of money, in a typical factory district, was equivalent to a regular employee's entire year's salary.

And this was just Su Can's one-day income!

No!

The mountain rabbits and wild ducks hadn't been counted yet!

Free-range farm ducks usually cost about 65 per catty on the market; ten times that would be 650 per catty.

The price of mountain rabbits was the same as wild chickens.

But the mountain rabbits were all plump; a quick glance showed that at least five of the remaining seven were roughly ten catties each!

This was simply exorbitant profit!

“Manager Feng, let's weigh two wild ducks first. They are the smallest, clearly not exceeding five catties, so let's weigh them together.”

Tao Jing had adjusted her mindset and said to Feng Qiang.

Feng Qiang did as he was told, putting the two wild ducks together on the scale, and the display immediately showed a value of 4kg.

“Manager Tao, the two wild ducks are exactly eight catties.”

“Eight catties, which is 5,200 yuan!”

Tao Jing nodded and recorded it.

After the earlier shock of one wild chicken being over ten thousand, two wild ducks for just over five thousand no longer had such a strong impact on her.

“Let's switch to the mountain rabbits. Those two small wild rabbits are about the same size as the wild ducks, so weigh them together as well.”

After recording, Tao Jing looked up and gestured to Feng Qiang.

Feng Qiang nodded, placed the two small mountain rabbits together, and the display immediately showed 4.2 kg.

“Manager Tao, that's 8.4 catties in total.”

“Good!”

Tao Jing quickly recorded, then, without looking up, said: “Continue!”

Hearing this, Feng Qiang casually picked up the largest mountain rabbit and placed it on the scale.

The next second, he gasped, exclaiming: “Good heavens, this wild rabbit is really plump, a full six kilograms, twelve catties!”

“It's certainly plump, twelve catties, twelve thousand!”

Tao Jing also couldn't help but let out a long breath, and directly told Feng Qiang: “Come on, put them on the scale continuously, don't stop. If this goes on, I'm afraid my heart won't be able to take it!”

“I was just thinking the same thing!”

Feng Qiang gave a wry smile; he had already been struggling a bit, his heart experiencing envy and jealousy like a rollercoaster.

He decided to quickly finish weighing them and report the weights all at once.

Saying this, Feng Qiang began to quickly weigh them.

“Beep… 5.4 kilograms!”

“Beep… 5.6 kilograms!”

“5.3…”

“5.2…”

After reporting them all at once, Feng Qiang didn't even have time to calculate, and immediately felt much better.

Tao Jing also didn't have time to think much, her fingers quickly tapping on her phone screen.

Only after everything was calculated did she slowly and deeply take a breath to suppress the shock in her heart.

“The seven mountain rabbits, calculated total value, are 59,200 yuan!”

“If we add the value of the wild ducks, mushrooms, and wild chickens, the total is 120,100 yuan!”

As Tao Jing finished speaking, a collective gasp once again echoed neatly through the office.

“Damn, just these two urea bags of stuff, and one trip makes a hundred and twenty thousand?!”

“I'm gonna get rich! It truly is infuriating when people compare themselves to others!”

Feng Qiang's eyes were almost red with envy.

The two security guards behind him were breathing heavily, almost overwhelmed with jealousy.

One hundred and twenty thousand!

Given their salary conditions, even if they didn't eat or drink, it would take them two years to earn that!

And Su Can? He just brought these wild goods from the mountain, sat in the office drinking tea, and one hundred and twenty thousand went into his pocket.

It truly is 'compare goods and you'll discard them, compare people and you'll die'!

Now Feng Qiang and the others had a personal understanding of this saying!

Chef Wu also shook his head, saying with deep emotion, “Ordinary people chase money, but truly capable people have money chasing them.”

It was clear that Su Can was one of those capable people!

“Alright, everything has been settled!”

“Manager Tao, send a message to finance for the transfer! And draft a contract, discuss the details with Mr. Su, and get the contract signed.”

Liu Qianqian said with a sigh of relief.

“Okay, Boss, I'll go notify finance now.”

Tao Jing nodded, then turned to Su Can and said: “Mr. Su, please provide your bank card number so our finance department can make the payment!”

“Alright!”

Su Can put down his teacup, took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out an ICBC bank card, and handed it to Tao Jing.

The latter took the bank card, snapped a picture of it with her phone, and sent it to the finance group.

Within a minute, Su Can received an SMS notification from ICBC for a deposit of 120,100 yuan.

Su Can's heart swelled with joy; his second pot of gold after rebirth was in his hands.

In just two days, his bank card balance had swelled from a few thousand yuan to over two hundred thousand.

Looking at the balance on his phone, Su Can remained outwardly calm, but his heart couldn't help but stir with excitement.

“Having money feels really good!”
