Chapter 10: Sold for 750 Dollars

After the excitement, Fabien carried the bamboo basket back to the clinic and stuffed all the pheasants into the chicken cages in the backyard.

In the past, every family in the countryside raised chickens, so Fabien’s family also still had a few cages left.

Considering that these cages were not enough, Fabien even went to his neighbor’s house to borrow a few cages.

After preparing the cages, Fabien went up the mountain again, using the same method as before to lure the pheasants over. Then, he used the bamboo basket to catch all the pheasants that were attracted over.

His body’s reaction speed was much faster than an ordinary person’s and also much faster than a pheasant’s. The pheasants could not react in time and were caught by Fabien.

After repeating this a few times, by evening, Fabien had already caught 30 pheasants.

Looking at all the pheasants, Fabien was elated. If one pheasant was worth 30 dollars, then these pheasants were worth a total of 900 dollars!

When he sold them the next day, he would be able to earn 900 dollars. He believed that in a few days, he would be able to gather 7,500 dollars and he would be able to pay off Mary’s debt.

Early the next morning, Fabien drove his electric tricycle filled with pheasants to the county.

He specially woke up early so that he would not be discovered by the villagers. Taking advantage of the time when there were not many people on the road, he even specially used a broken bag to cover it from the outside so that the villagers would not see what was on the tricycle.

After all, Fabien had caught so many pheasants in one go. The villagers would definitely be shocked if news of this got out. Pheasants were so difficult to catch, yet Fabien had caught so many at once so they would think that there must be some secret behind this.

After leaving the town, Fabien felt much more relaxed. Humming a tune, he rode the tricycle straight to the county’s vegetable market.

By the time he reached the county, there were already many people gathered at the vegetable market.

The management of the market in the county was quite lenient so Fabien randomly found an open space and parked the tricycle. He then removed the broken bag covering it and took out the sign he had prepared and stuck it at the side.

On the sign were the words “Pure Wild Pheasants” and Fabien had even used blue ink so that it was more eye-catching.

As expected, when his pheasant appeared, many passers-by could not help but look over.

Most of the chickens sold in the market were domesticated chickens, and very few people sold pheasants here so Fabien’s pheasants were considered unique.

But although many people looked over, not many people actually came to buy it.

Most of the people who came to the market early in the morning to buy vegetables were ordinary people, and they didn’t have the ability to purchase wild game like pheasants.

Fabien waited for a while, and when he saw that no one came to ask about the pheasants, he immediately became a little anxious. Now was the time when there were many people, and if everyone who came to buy vegetables left, then it wouldn’t be easy to sell his pheasants!

Thinking of this, Fabien immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, “Pheasants here! Pure pheasants! Freshly caught it from the mountain yesterday!”

His voice was loud and clear, and after shouting two times, everyone around him heard it.

The vegetable vendors all looked at him with disdain, looking down on Fabien for shouting at the top of his lungs.

However, his shout was really effective. Not long after, a middle-aged man with a fat figure walked over.

When he saw the pheasants on Fabien’s carriage, his eyes lit up and he walked towards Fabien.

“Young man, how much do you sell your pheasants?”The fat middle-aged man asked Fabien.

Fabien hesitated for a moment before asking, “How much do you think they should be sold for?”

“Hehe, I’m an expert in this field so let me tell you! You don’t have to weigh it by the pound, just sell it to me for 23 dollars each. How about that?” The man chuckled.

Hearing the man’s price of 23 dollars per pheasant, Fabien could not help but frown, “Only 23 dollars, isn’t that too cheap!”

He had originally expected the price to be 30 dollars per pheasant, but the fat middle-aged man’s offer was slightly lower than his expectations.

“Young man, pheasants aren’t as valuable as you think! How many do you have here?”The fat middle-aged man laughed.

“A total of 30!” Fabien said seriously.

The fat middle-aged man nodded, “Alright then, since that’s the case, all the pheasants add up to a total of 750 dollars. If you are willing, I will buy them all!”

Seeing that the other party wanted to buy them all for 750 dollars, Fabien hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.

He had no choice. It was not easy to meet a big buyer. Even if the other party offered a lower price, Fabien could only reluctantly accept it.

“Alright! This is 750 dollars. You can directly push the cart outside with me and load all the pheasants onto my truck!” The man’s face was filled with joy.

Looking at the thick stack of money in front of him, Fabien could not help but swallow his saliva. Even though the price was a little low, it was still 750 dollars!

This was the first time in Fabien’s life that he had earned so much money. In the past, his clinic had barely scraped by and he only managed to save 3,000 dollars after a few years.

He did not expect to earn 750 dollars so easily. Fabien gritted his teeth and took the money from the man. It doesn’t matter if it was less, at least it was worth some money!

Seeing that Fabien had sold out the pheasant so quickly, the vegetable vendors beside him were also stunned. They did not expect that shouting at the top of their lungs could have such a miraculous effect.

Thus, after Fabien and the fat middle-aged man have left, the vegetable vendors also began to shout at the top of their lungs. The vegetable market immediately became lively.

Fabien couldn’t help but want to laugh, but he controlled himself since he still had to come here to sell pheasants the next day, so it wouldn’t be good to offend these vegetable vendors.

Pushing the tricycle to the side of the truck that the fat middle-aged man mentioned, the man handed Fabien a business card.

“Young man! This is my business card, you can call me Mr. Franklin. In the future, you can sell all your pheasants to me. The price is still 23 per pheasant, but I’ll give you a tip!” Mr. Franklin said with a laugh.

Fabien took his business card which stated that he was the owner of the Franklin Family Restaurant.

The Franklin Family Restaurant was not a famous big restaurant and Fabien had never heard of it before so he just put the business card in his pocket casually.

Then, Fabien moved the pheasant cages to Mr. Franklin’s car. These cages were not valuable and he could just buy some more when he returned.

After finishing all this, Mr. Franklin signaled Fabien to leave. Before he left, he took Fabien’s phone number, saying that he would contact Fabien again tomorrow.

After leaving the market, Fabien carried the 750 dollars in his pocket. He couldn’t help but feel a little excited. This was his first bucket of gold!

At this moment, his stomach began to growl as he hadn’t eaten anything since morning.

In order to reward himself, Fabien decided to indulge himself and go to the most famous breakfast restaurant in the county to eat steamed dumplings.

Riding his tricycle to the place, he ate five baskets of steamed dumplings and drank two bowls of egg soup before leaving with satisfaction.

Young people could eat, especially when they were extremely hungry.

After walking out of the door of the breakfast restaurant, just as Fabien was about to leave, a familiar looking truck suddenly appeared not far away and drove straight into the Emperor Restaurant right opposite him!

Fabien was stunned, wasn’t that Mr.. Franklin’s truck?
