The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Not only Zhao Youcai was curious, Zhao Jun and Zhao Weipeng also wanted to know how Wang Meilan planned to lead the whole village to make a fortune.

After all, with the Zhao family's current methods of making money, hunting and ginseng herding do require manpower, but they cannot require dozens or hundreds of people.

Wang Meilan glanced at Zhao Youcai, then gestured towards Zhao Jun and said, "Isn't this what our son said?"

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled, wondering why he still has his own business here?

At this time, Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Weipeng and said, "Brother, you are in the big business. My sister-in-law said, you can also help me as a consultant."

"Hey!" Upon hearing this, Zhao Weipeng stood up slightly and pulled the stool one step forward, pretending to be listening attentively.

"Your nephew said that gray leather... Well, that squirrel leather is getting more expensive every year." Wang Meilan said: "That thing can be exported. This year, first-class leather will cost nearly forty yuan. I guess, in the future, In our family areas, all the men have to go to the mountains to be beaten.”

"Ah..." Zhao Weipeng really took Wang Meilan's consultation seriously. He thought for a while and then said: "Forty yuan is a lot of money. How much money can people in our village make just by catching a boatload of fish? Is that so? Everyone has to do business to make money, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Weipeng paused for a moment, and then asked: "Sister-in-law, we are in a rural area. There are squirrels but there are few. I have not shot this, but I also know that the gadget is quite effective. I don't mean to fight. It’s just a fight, so you don’t have to have a gun?”

"Yes!" When Zhao Weipeng asked about the idea, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "We have guns at home."

"You can pull it off, sister-in-law." Zhao Weipeng said with a smile: "The two guns at home are not enough for my family. So what, you want people from the countryside to come to your house to borrow guns and then accept your favor?"

Boss Zhao didn't know the background of the Zhao family. At this time, Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai had some understanding. They looked at Wang Meilan in surprise.

"No!" Faced with Zhao Weipeng's doubts, Wang Meilan slapped her thigh anxiously and said, "Do we have a lot of guns in our family?"

"There are quite a few guns." Zhao Weipeng said with a smile: "Aren't there just two semi-automatics and one modified one?"

"That's what your nephew and the others used to go up the mountain. You can't let anyone else use it." Wang Meilan said, "Brother, you don't know, we have a lot of guns in the warehouse."

As she spoke, Wang Meilan slapped Zhao Weipeng in the face and said, "There are five hundred trees."

"How much?" Zhao Weipeng was so shocked that he almost broke his voice. Boss Zhao stood up from the four-legged stool in shock, and his eyes slowly swept over the three members of the Zhao family.

He has traveled all over the country for many years and has seen people opening canteens, snack bars, and even repair departments in big cities, but this is the first time that Boss Zhao has seen someone opening an armed department.

Although guns are not allowed, what are you going to do if you have so many in your house?

"Uncle." Zhao Jun hurriedly supported Zhao Weipeng, and then explained: "Air gun, five point five air gun."

"Ah..." Zhao Weipeng breathed a sigh of relief, pulled back the four-legged and eight-pronged stool and sat down. Then he looked sideways at Wang Meilan and said, "Sister-in-law, please explain it clearly. It scared me."

"Haha." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "It's my sister-in-law."

Zhao Weipeng twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, thought about what Wang Meilan just said, and then asked: "Sister-in-law, do you want to sell it to them so they can make money by hunting squirrels?"

"Yes, yes!" Wang Meilan nodded repeatedly and said, "That's what I think. If you have money, just give me cash. Hey, if you don't have money, let them take the gun first."

"Is it just on credit?" Zhao Weipeng asked, and Wang Meilan nodded: "Yes, they shoot two or three pieces of gray skin, and the money for that gun comes out."

Wang Meilan had a good idea, but Zhao Weipeng shook his head and said, "Sister-in-law, then you villagers will have to scold you."

"Huh?" Wang Meilan was stunned and said: "Why are you scolding me? Then who doesn't tease a dozen gray skins all winter? After buying my gun, there will be a lot left over."

"Sister-in-law, to put it bluntly, isn't it the same as mine?" Zhao Weipeng said: "Don't talk about a dozen gray skins, they will fight a hundred gray skins, which are enough to miss you. What about another one?" Sister-in-law, getting into a pole is not a business, and you can’t sell guns all over the countryside, right?”

"Tsk!" Wang Meilan clicked her lips, feeling that this was the right thing to say. At this time, Zhao Jun didn't care about any trade secrets and said directly to Wang Meilan: "Mom, I have to keep those air guns and sell them at a high price. In the future, if the price of greyhound skin increases, the price of this gun will definitely increase as well."

Zhao Jun knew that within two or three years, the price of air guns would skyrocket, more than doubling, otherwise Zhao Jun would not have spent 20,000 yuan to buy so many guns.

"Okay, Lan Na." Zhao Youcai said, "People are like that, don't take it to heart."

As he said that, Zhao Youcai smiled and continued: "If you want to give out credit, they really dare to come and get the gun. But after taking the gun, they won't give you money. What do you do? You go home, everyone says they have it. difficulty."

Speaking of this, Zhao Youcai glanced at Zhao Jun and said: "When the time comes, our family won't have to do anything all day long, and they will just go around the village to collect accounts."

Wang Meilan also came from that era and had seen many evil people, so she naturally knew that what Zhao Youcai said made sense. If that's the case, these families will directly change the accounting companies.

"Alas!" Wang Meilan let out a long sigh. Seeing this, Zhao Youcai quickly changed the subject and asked Zhao Weipeng, "Brother, are the people in your village still treating you like that?"

"It's incredible now." Speaking of this, Zhao Weipeng smiled. We are all fellow villagers, and no one wants to get too stalemate with fellow villagers.

"Then what are you doing?" Wang Meilan asked quickly, and then she saw Zhao Weipeng wave his fat hand and said: "Whoever dares to fight with me, I will not accept his seafood."

Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan, Zhao Youcai: "..."

"It's not just sea creatures!" Zhao Weipeng smiled and imparted his experience to the Zhao family and said, "Let's talk about every family's daily life. Who has never had trouble crossing a river? Who's family is the richest in the village? Me!"

As he said that, Zhao Weipeng puffed up his chest and continued: "He and I are doing this and that. If you wait for him to let me borrow money, do you think I can't lend him money?"

When Zhao Weipeng said this, Wang Meilan became even more angry. She usually doesn't just get along with these families. She also walks around the village. If someone is in trouble and needs to borrow money, she will come to Wang Meilan for help.

In the past six months, Wang Meilan has lent money to villagers, but these people obviously did not remember Wang Meilan's kindness.

"Later, when my dad and mom went out, the villagers had to say hello when they saw them far away." Zhao Weipeng said with a smile: "You have to be warm when greeting, or is he waiting?"

As he spoke, Zhao Weipeng quietly looked at Wang Meilan and said, "My dad became the village chief last year."

Wang Meilan: "..."

"Hahaha... OK, Lan." Zhao Youcai laughed, gently touched Wang Meilan's shoulder with his hand, and said jokingly: "Our house is not close to the sea, so you can't help but accept other people's fish."

Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai. Fortunately, she felt blessed in her heart. Wang Meilan's eyes lit up, she looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "Son, do you think it's okay if I set up the farm to collect mountain goods?"

"Huh?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this. He had long had the idea of ​​collecting mountain products in the forest area, but he wanted to implement it not now, but ten years later.

That is, after hunting was banned, the original forest in Yong'an was almost cleared. Zhao Jun wanted to cover a few hills at that time, and then breed second-generation wild boars, forest frogs, and forest chickens in the mountains...

Mountain products, fungus, mushrooms, ganoderma, and chaga are all valuable items, and Zhao Jun is also interested in getting them.

But now Zhao Jun's energy is still on hunting. After all, mountain products are not valuable now, but bear bile and other things are valuable, and he can quickly accumulate original funds.

But if Wang Meilan is willing to start this stall now, it will undoubtedly pave the way for Zhao Jun's future.

"That's okay, Mom." Zhao Jun agreed: "Don't buy too many kinds of things, such as bear bile, big leather, etc., those things are too expensive. Let's pick the ones that can make money, like gray leather, raw leather, etc. Yeah, that’s all right. Don’t worry about selling it if you take it back. It doesn’t matter if you keep it for a year or two.”

At this time, fungus, pine nuts, etc. were worthless, and transporting the whole thing down the mountain by truck would not make much profit. Therefore, Zhao Jun thought of hoarding skins.

"Huh?" But Zhao Weipeng interjected: "The fungus, pine nuts, hazelnuts and so on in our forest are also fine. Sister-in-law, if you don't mind the trouble, you can save a pile of them after you collect them and sell them to me. I will transport the wood next year. , and took it away."

Hearing Zhao Weipeng's words, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan's eyes lit up. Compared with what you can get from siege, the threshold for mining is lower. Women, in particular, go to the mountains in groups of three or two to collect mountain products, including fungus and wild vegetables in spring, and fungus in autumn, as well as pine nuts, hazelnuts and other dried fruits.

"Brother." Wang Meilan asked: "Xiaohe Fish, do you want some dried fish?"

"Yes." Zhao Weipeng said: "But you have to put aside the salt brine, don't let it get stuffy at the other end and it will get bad again."

"Yes." Wang Meilan nodded and said: "Actually, there are a lot of good things in our forest area. Mushrooms and other things are all fresh. I will collect them to dry that one when the time comes."

"Yes!" Zhao Weipeng said: "Ten miles and eight villages, sister-in-law, just accept it."

As he said that, Zhao Weipeng raised his hand and said: "I heard from my brother that Zhao Jun's new house is ready for his wedding. You will all move in when the time comes. If this house is vacant, just use it to collect mountain goods. Who in the eight villages within ten miles has one?" Just come to your place and sell it.”

After hearing Zhao Weipeng's words, Wang Meilan smiled and said by analogy: "I can go out to collect them every now and then."

"Are you going out to collect?" Zhao Youcai frowned and asked, "Why are you going? You are not like the two men who came to collect skins. They collect skins and roll them up in one package. You collect fungus, pine nuts, etc., and you collect several sacks at a time. , what are you doing?"

Even if your family wants to buy a car, the car burns oil, not water. If you drive around and collect a few things, the profit won't even be enough to refuel.

"I'll drive the donkey!" Wang Meilan would think of her own donkey whenever something happened. When people came, she would think of killing the donkey to entertain guests, and when there was work, she would think of the donkey to do it.

"That donkey is obedient." Wang Meilan finally praised the little donkey and said, "If I walk in front, it will follow. Hit it up to a cart, hitch a sledge to it in winter, and let me go for a walk."

Zhao Youcai curled his lips when he heard this, but Zhao Jun blinked. The people in the mountains were driving donkeys to collect mountain goods, which reminded him of a person.

"Can you move it yourself?" Zhao Youcai poured cold water on Wang Meilan and said, "The big sack is full. If you want pine nuts or hazelnuts, it will be very heavy."

"What are we, this group of people, afraid of?" Wang Meilan said, "Bring them to Xiaomei and the others when the time comes. After planting the land next year, we will start working."

As she said this, Wang Meilan suddenly remembered something and said to Zhao Jun: "Don't we still have a piece of land to the north of our new house? Tomorrow you will take the ministers, and you can load up the tent poles and surround them."

"Mom, what are you doing?" Zhao Jun said, "Our backyard is big enough."

"Circle it first." Wang Meilan said: "When it gets warm next year, I will build a warehouse there for loading."

As she spoke, Wang Meilan's eyes sparkled, and she said, "Let's see who dares not to choose me next time?"

Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai: "..."
