The first thing Chen Manshan did after being reborn: kick over the charcoal brazier and save his niece's leg.
The second: refuse to lend money and send Luo Erwa packing after he turned hostile.
The third: take a flashlight into the bamboo grove and come back with six bamboo partridges before dawn.
Everyone laughed at him. “A loser fired from the factory, and he thinks he can make waves?”
He only smiled, slinging his carrying basket over his shoulder.
Bamboo partridges: three for the pot, two for Uncle Yao, and one in reserve.
Four jin of fresh gastrodia, dried and sold for three yuan, seven jiao, and two fen.
Thirty-seven jin of muntjac, smoked and kept for himself, not a scrap for the people who had called off the engagement.
Twenty-seven jin of assorted fish, handed out to win favors and keep his big brother from ending up at the wild boar pond.
Starting with foraging in the mountains of Loushan, he will build an enterprise with his own hands, one nobody else would even dare to imagine.
