Chapter 1432 Albino Sable Nest
"Son, I'm so happy that you can think of this!" After hearing Zhao Jun say that he would help the people of Xishan Village to become rich, Wang Meilan said happily: "The people in that village are very honest and respect our family."
Hearing Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Youcai, who walked to the door of the west room, curled his lips. Those people called you "Grandma Zhao" all the time, which was not respectful.
"Haha." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Mom, let them raise the white foxes, and then we can collect their skins. This is a win-win situation."
"Can they be raised?" Somehow, Zhao Youcai came out from the west room again.
Moreover, as soon as he came out, he poured cold water on Zhao Jun, saying: "If you ask them to raise them, what will they use to raise them?"
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled, and then he heard Zhao Youcai continue, "Raising foxes is different from raising raccoon dogs. Raccoon dogs eat everything, even boiled rice bran and cornmeal. But foxes, don't they have to eat meat?"
"What if we let them go fishing?" Zhao Jun thought for a moment and said, "The Xigou on the other side of the Xishan Mountain is from the Songhua River. Why don't we let them catch fish to feed the foxes?"
"Feeding the fish? How much do you want?" Zhao Youcai said, "Give them another ten yuan per hide, do you think they will sell it to you?"
"If you don't want to sell it, we can raise the price." Before Zhao Jun could say anything, Wang Meilan said, "Ten yuan is not enough, I will raise it to thirty yuan. If thirty is not enough, I will raise it to forty yuan. Then we can still make a profit of thirty yuan."
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Jun thought for a moment and said, "Mom, I'll go to that village this afternoon."
"Go, son." Wang Meilan stopped what she was doing and said to Zhao Jun, "When you go there, talk to them nicely."
"Yes, Mom, I know." Zhao Jun said this, and Wang Meilan said, "Tell him to sell the meat to us next time he kills a greyhound."
Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai: "..."
"Greyhound meat is delicious." Wang Meilan said with a smile, "After cleaning the belly, flatten it and fry it on both sides in the pan. After frying, simmer it. It's very fragrant."
At this point, Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Youcai, and then said to Zhao Jun: "When mom was pregnant with you, it was difficult. Your dad and your uncle Li went up the mountain to hunt greyhounds, and brought back your milk and stewed it for me to eat."
"Well, OK, OK." Since my mother said so, Zhao Jun quickly responded: "Mom, I'll just buy theirs."
"What a day!" Zhao Youcai complained quietly, "I don't know what to do with the money I have. I don't even know what to eat!"
After saying that, Zhao Youcai turned around and went back to the west room.
Wang Meilan narrowed her eyes and stared at the back of Zhao Youcai's head. Seeing that Zhao Youcai was walking faster and faster, Wang Meilan retracted her gaze and turned to Zhao Jun and said, "Son, we still owe the brigade money. You should return it as soon as possible!"
Wang Meilan was a traditionalist. She felt that she would not be able to live a stable life if she owed money to others. If she had no other choice, Wang Meilan would not have asked Zhao Junguan to borrow money from Yongxing Brigade.
"Mom, wait until I come back from Yongsheng." Zhao Jun said, "I'll call Yongxing and then I'll go there in two days."
"Then what are we going to do in two days?" Wang Meilan asked puzzledly, "We have our money back, so we should just send it back to them right away."
"Mom, what am I thinking about?" Zhao Jun said, "There are also mountain runners in Yongxing. I'll call and talk to Secretary Yu or Uncle Tao and ask them to help arrange it. See if anyone has bear gallbladders or bear skins. I'll collect them when I go there again."
"Oh my!" Wang Meilan's eyes lit up and she said, "That works!"
"Isn't that right, Mom?" Zhao Jun said with a smile, "Among these mountain products, I think the bear gallbladders and big skins are the most profitable. We won't take the other things from Yongxing. But we'll take as many bear gallbladders and big skins as we can get."
"Yes, son, you are right." Wang Meilan nodded and said, "Don't let it end up like this, where we don't have enough money again."
"Yes." Zhao Jun smiled bitterly and said, "If I hadn't kicked it out with my first kick, I wouldn't want to collect the gray skin and yellow leaves here."
"As for the rest." Wang Meilan shook her head and said, "We are just short of money right now. Once we sell the two golden bear gallbladders after the Chinese New Year, we will have no shortage of money in the future."
When saying this, Wang Meilan felt a little emotional. She had never thought before that there would be a day when her family would be short of money.
……
"Woo..."
The sound of the train's whistle echoed over Yong'antun. Li Dayong hurried out of the house and walked quickly out of the village.
When passing by the Zhao family compound, Li Dayong sighed heavily. In the past, when he went to work, Zhao Youcai was beside him, his eldest son was behind him, and sometimes he also brought his youngest son with him.
But now Li Dayong is alone, while Zhao Youcai and his two sons are all working in forestry protection.
As soon as Li Dayong left, Li Baoyu climbed over the wall and went to Zhao's house.
"Auntie!" Li Baoyu came into the room with two pieces of paper in his hand. He came to Wang Meilan and said, "I want to report something to you."
"Child, let's talk about it tonight." Wang Meilan, who was washing dishes, knew what Li Baoyu was going to say. She smiled and said, "Go upstairs first and watch Auntie steam the buns. Eat two while they're hot."
Li Baoyu responded, walked over and looked into the east room, only to see that only Zhao Youcai was in the room.
"Uncle." Li Baoyu greeted him. Zhao Youcai, who was putting tea leaves into the thermos, looked up at Li Baoyu.
A new busy day is about to begin, Zhao Youcai makes tea and prepares to welcome guests.
When Li Baoyu entered the west room, he saw Zhao Jun raising his hand and waving him over.
Li Baoyu went over and sat down, picked up a bun and took a bite, then asked Zhao Jun: "Brother, shall we go up the mountain?"
"Take a day off today." Zhao Jun frowned and smiled, "Aren't you tired?"
Li Baoyu smiled and took another bite of the bun. At this time, Wang Meilan walked to the door of the west room and said to Li Baoyu, "Baoyu, don't run around today. Auntie has prepared something for you. Take it and send it to your mother-in-law later."
"Hey." Li Baoyu responded happily, and then he heard two dogs barking outside the house. Zhao Jun looked out the window and found that it was Jie Chen who came.
When Xie Chen entered the house, Zhao Youcai came out from the east room and asked Xie Chen, "How is the dog?"
"It's fine, uncle." Xie Chen smiled and said, "I don't think there's any big problem. It can bite people now."
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Wang Meilan asked anxiously, "Who did the dog bite, Xiaochen?"
"He bit my mother." Xie Chen said this with a smile. He looked like an unfilial son.
But then, Xie Chen said, "It's not bad. It bit my mother's cotton trouser leg, but it didn't break."
Hearing what Jie Chen said, Wang Meilan felt a little relieved, but she still frowned and said, "What kind of dog is this? It's either in trouble or causing trouble."
"Have you fed the dog?" Wang Meilan finished speaking, and then Zhao Youcai asked, "How is the dog eating?"
"My mother was the one who fed it." Xie Chen said, "It gave my mother a bite, and my mother got angry and threw the half basin of cornmeal on its head."
All injured hunting dogs in the Zhao family's dog gang were given sick food. The so-called sick food was cornmeal and bone soup. It was sticky and tasty, and the dogs especially liked it.
"What are you doing..." Zhao Youcai heard this and said anxiously, "Why are you beating a dumb animal?"
"It bites people, why don't you hit it?" Wang Meilan opened her mouth to retort what Zhao Youcai said, then smiled and said to Jie Chen: "It's okay to hit it, but don't waste the cornmeal."
"It was not in vain." Xie Chen laughed and said, "It was all scattered on the kang mat, not on the ground. My mother let it lick it."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard that, and blurted out, "Just let it lick it, and it will lick it?"
"Lick it!" Xie Chen laughed and said, "My mother grabbed its neck, pressed it on the kang, and beat it 'bang bang'. After beating it, my mother asked it to lick it, and it licked it."
Zhao Jun: "..."
Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan, Li Baoyu: "?"
A dog weighing more than 70 kilograms must be very strong. Xie Sun was able to hold down the red-haired hunting dog, which shows that this little old lady is extremely fierce.
Thinking of Xie Sun's fierceness, Zhao Youcai was a little worried about the red-haired hunting dog and wanted to go to Xie's house to take a look.
At this moment, there was a sound of dogs barking outside the house. Wang Meilan looked out the window and turned to Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen and said, "Hurry up and come in. Someone is here to sell goods."
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, the three Zhao Jun soldiers hurried to the west room, and Xie Chen, who entered the room last, closed the door.
Zhao Youcai: "..."
"His father!" Wang Meilan pointed outside and said to Zhao Youcai, who was stunned, "Put on some clothes and a hat before you go out. Don't catch a cold."
After saying that, Wang Meilan also went into the west room.
Zhao Youcai went out and invited the man who came to sell things to the east room. After the man sat down, Zhao Youcai pointed to the small basket of tobacco leaves on the table and asked him to roll his own cigarette. Then, Zhao Youcai took a large teapot and poured tea for the man.
At this time, in the west room, Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu, "I have packed all the things and put them at the door of the warehouse. You two brothers can go ahead."
"Brother Jun, what are you two doing?" Xie Chen asked curiously. Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu smiled but said nothing. Wang Meilan explained for them, "They are looking for a date."
When Wang Meilan said this, Xie Chen's face instantly fell. Among the three brothers, he was the only one who didn't have a partner.
Seeing that Jianchen looked unhappy, Wang Meilan asked, "Chen, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Your sixth uncle's daughter Xiaoyun is so nice. Why don't you agree?"
After hearing Wang Meilan say this about Li Tongyun, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu both turned their heads away.
Upon hearing this, Xie Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Auntie, we are not destined to be together."
"Hmm?" Wang Meilan frowned slightly, squinted her eyes, and said, "Why has your mother changed recently? She used to agree with it."
Xie Chen's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't say anything. After they returned last night, Xie Sun told Xie Chen about it. On the day when Xie Chen and Zhao Jun went to Hebei, Xie Zhong came down from the mountain.
Originally, Xie Sun wanted Xie Zhong, as the eldest brother, to persuade Xie Chen to date Li Tongyun.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out of the old lady's house that day, they saw the scene of Li Tongyun knocking down Li Ruhai.
At that time, Xie Sun didn't think much of it and thought that the girl was a strong person.
But unexpectedly, when Xie Zhong returned from Zhao's house that night, he told Xie Sunshi that as the eldest brother, he did not agree with the relationship between Xie Chen and Li Tongyun.
"Auntie." Xie Chen hesitated for a moment and said to Wang Meilan, "That...the girl from the Zheng family..."
"Ah..." Wang Meilan wanted to match Jie Chen and Li Tongyun, but Jie Chen's family disagreed, and Wang Meilan had no choice.
At this time, Xie Chen brought up the old matter again, and mentioned Zheng Quan's daughter. Wang Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Who came to our house that day? I heard from them that Liu Tiezui can go out to the fields now. Let your grandmother Jiang go over and talk to her tomorrow."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan raised her hand and pointed outside the house, saying, "We have a car at home. If we really want Liu Tiezui to be the matchmaker, we can just drive her there."
Hearing Wang Meilan say this, Xie Chen's face lit up with joy.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu got up, went out of the house to the warehouse, and took the things prepared by Wang Meilan.
Li Baoyu took one bag, which was for Liu Mei's family, while Zhao Jun took two bags, as he was going to Ma Ling's house first, and then to Yongshengtun to see Zhao Chun.
Since he was not going home during the trip, Zhao Jun took his things and got on the jeep directly after being discharged from the hospital.
After Zhao Jun started the car, he drove straight to Ma's house. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned the corner, he saw Li Ruhai coming towards him.
"Brother! Brother!" Li Ruhai waved at Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun stopped the car, rolled down the window and said, "Ruhai, I have something to do. I can't take you with me."
"Brother!" Li Ruhai came to the car window and said to Zhao Jun, "There is something I must tell you. It is related to the future development of our Chamber of Commerce."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun pointed at the co-pilot and said, "Then you get in first."
Li Ruhai is a talkative child, but what he says is very pertinent.
Li Ruhai got into the car happily, and after sitting in the passenger seat, he said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, I heard from my brother that the last time we bought those two white mink skins, they sold for 18,000 yuan?"
Hearing Li Ruhai say this, Zhao Jun's face darkened and he said, "Ruhai, you can't tell anyone about this!"
"Brother, I know." Li Ruhai's face fell, and he said, "My father and mother said that if I dare to tell anyone about our Chamber of Commerce, they will break my legs."
After hearing what Li Ruhai said, Zhao Jun rolled his eyes at him.
"Brother, I won't tell anyone, don't worry." Li Ruhai looked at Zhao Jun and said solemnly, "I want to make a contribution!"
When Zhao Jun heard this, he heard Li Ruhai continue to say, "Brother, the man who sold us the mink fur is called Shi Baofeng, right?"
"Yes." Zhao Jun responded, and Li Ruhai said: "He is injured now and is lying at home. He can't go up the mountain before the New Year."
"How did he do that?" Zhao Jun asked. Li Ruhai said, "He ran into Tao Ersheng and Tao Sansheng on the mountain the day before yesterday. The three of them started arguing, and the two brothers beat him up."
"Oh my God!" Zhao Jun frowned for Shi Baofeng's suffering, then his brows relaxed and he said, "The Xu family can't let them go."
Shi Baofeng's original surname was Xu. He supported three families by himself, and his uncles and brothers all respected him, including Zhao Jun's former boss Xu Baoshan.
"That's definitely not possible!" Li Ruhai said with a smile, "Old Xu Pao has quit. He just blocked Tao Ersheng's house and gave Tao Ersheng and his wife a beating."
"Ah..." Zhao Jun looked at Li Ruhai and said with a smile, "That's what I was talking about. You just came back from watching the fun!"
"Hehe..." Li Ruhai smiled, and then said: "Brother, it doesn't matter if I want to watch the fun or not. Let's just say that if Shi Baofeng hadn't been injured, no one could occupy his big hide. But now he can't go up the mountain, his big hide... huh?"
When Li Ruhai finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Zhao Jun.
After hearing what Li Ruhai said, Zhao Jun blinked twice. What Li Ruhai said was right.
Although Shi Baofeng does not live in the mountains, he goes up the mountain every now and then. He has his own territory in the mountains.
According to mountain rules, no one else is allowed to set traps or clamps in his territory.
But Shi Baofeng was injured, and according to Li Ruhai, he wouldn't be able to go up the mountain for a while.
In this situation, Shi Baofeng's original territory is no longer subject to the mountain rules.
But Shi Baofeng's territory is not ordinary. It is not only a big den for furs, but also a big den for furs where albino sables are born.
Although I don't know if there are still albino sables out there, this is indeed an opportunity to make a fortune.
Just like what Zhao Jun said to Wen Hongchang that day, when he has another albino hide, he won’t sell it for 18,000 yuan anymore.
But the problem is that Zhao Jun doesn’t know where Wen Hongchang’s big hideout is.
At this moment, Li Ruhai smiled and said, "Brother, can I show you a place to go?"
Today is December 12th. This book was published three years ago. Three years have passed in a flash. I would like to thank my brothers for their support and love!
There is still one chapter left today, so I will update it quite late. I have half a chapter left to write, so I will take a nap first, get up at 4 o'clock to write, and post it around 6:30.
If I can't stay up late, I can get up early
