The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Zhang Yuanmin provided suggestions for the rise of the Zhao Family Gang. Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were very interested in the part about spring hunting.

The issue of stockpiling guns and ammunition was unanimously rejected by Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan.

Yes, as Zhang Yuanmin said, that stuff is not expensive, only three or four hundred yuan per ton.

But because of this, its profits are also low. In other words, it is easy to lose money if the repair is not good.

These days, rural people buy things on credit at small shops. They have to wait until the autumn harvest to sell grain and then go to settle the bill when they have money.

Zhao Jun's family really has a ton of gunpowder, and they will all come on credit when the time comes. Some of them can repay the debt, some can't, and some deliberately don't.

Because of that 80 cents, how could Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan still fill the village asking for accounts every day?

Seeing that Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan disagreed, Zhang Yuanmin did not try to persuade him any more. He read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and made a summary. Advisors only had to make suggestions, and it was the Lord's business to adopt them or not.

"Grand nephew, eat this cake quickly, it will get cold in a while." Wang Qiang called Zhao Jun to eat, and said: "Our village is different from others' brigade. The forest farm meeting must be approved before the spring hunting can be started. By then the farm will be open If you don’t agree, aren’t we thinking about it in vain?”

Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were startled, it was indeed the case. For such a big matter, the forestry farm would have to hold a meeting to study it, and if it was not corrected, it would have to report it to the Forestry Bureau. No matter where it got stuck, the spring hunting would not be possible.

If it can't be done, then the excitement will be in vain.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jun took the bowl and took a sip of tofu puffs, then picked up the fried cake and took a bite, then ordered a chopstick head and stuffed cucumber with sauce into his mouth.

"Hahaha..." Before Zhao Jun could swallow the mouthful of food, Zhang Yuanmin laughed again.

When everyone looked at him, Zhang Yuanmin said to Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun: "Auntie, brother, if this plan doesn't work, Yuanmin has another plan, which can also help my Zhao family to take off."

"Yuanmin, tell me!" Wang Meilan became interested. She felt that Zhang Yuanmin had a very good mind.

"It's best to have spring hunting in our forest area." Zhang Yuanmin said, "If we can't do it, we'll go to Yongxing to collect mountain products!"

As soon as Zhang Yuanmin said this, Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang, and Jie Chen were all startled, and they all looked at Zhang Yuanmin.

This works.

The spring hunting horoscope in Yongxing forest area has not been revealed yet, but people in the Yongxing brigade do spring hunting every year!

This year Zhao Jun went to Yongxing to participate in the spring hunt. During the celebration meeting, Yu Xuewen also gave a report.

Zhao Jun must not remember the specific content of the report clearly, but he knew that in that spring hunting, dozens of bears were killed. There are hundreds of yellow leaves and gray bark.

These things belong to whoever hunts them. In the past, the hunters would find a place to sell them by themselves every year.

And after the Yongxing Spring Hunt next year, if the Zhao Gang can collect all these things, they will definitely make a lot of money.

Zhao Jun has this confidence because he has connections. The manager of the No. 1 Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Daohua County is a relative of his family, and the manager of the No. 1 Supply and Marketing Cooperative in Shulan is Jie Chen, his second brother-in-law. He has mountain goods and can sell them at high prices wherever he goes.

"This is good!" Wang Meilan first gave Zhang Yuanmin an appreciative look, then turned to look at Zhao Jun and said, "Son, this is really good!"

"Yes!" Zhao Jun also nodded in approval and will go to Yongxing next spring to collect mountain goods and sell air guns.

"Grand nephew, I will go with you next year!" Wang Qiang said, looked at the minister and said, "Little minister, let's all go."

"I'm going too!" Zhang Yuanmin asked for help. Zhao Jun and the other four glanced at him, and Zhao Jun said, "Okay, brother, you can take good care of him. Once you've done so, let him go."

"When the time comes, Ruhai will also take the lead." Wang Meilan said with a smile: "The child's mouth is not free."

"Yeah, but I won't give it for free." Wang Qiang continued, "I can't even tell you."

"Huh?" Wang Meilan was startled and said, "What?"

"Ah, it's okay, Mom." Zhao Jun stopped and asked Wang Meilan, "Mom, is Ruhai working with you too?"

"No." Wang Meilan said, "He went to school."

"Going to school?" Zhao Jun was stunned and said in surprise: "Did my aunt let him go out?"

"Yeah." Wang Meilan said mysteriously: "He went to organize a program for your forest farm."

"Organizing a program? Him?" Zhao Jun frowned, and then Wang Meilan continued: "Well, I should say it or not this time, that kid is quite decent."

"Aunt Zhao, what did he do?" Jie Chen asked curiously.

…

The small restaurant behind the Forestry Bureau has the only private room.

Chu Anmin and Zhao Weipeng were drinking wine and eating vegetables.

Zhao Weipeng came down in the morning, went to the Public Security Bureau to finish his work, and then came to see Chu Anmin.

Hearing that Zhao Weipeng would be leaving tomorrow, Chu Anmin specially served wine to see off his old comrade.

Chu Anmin didn't even bring his secretary. He was the only one in the small private room, but he ordered eight dishes in total. Pork-killing vegetables, pot-roasted pork, braised crucian carp in soy sauce... they are all hard dishes, and Chu Anmin's arrangements are definitely in place.

"Huh?" Chu Anmin threw two peanuts into his mouth and asked Zhao Weipeng, "I see why you have gained weight again?"

"Oh!" Zhao Weipeng sighed and said, "Zhao Jun's food is too good, will I get fat again?"

Chu Anmin had heard Zhou Chunming say that Zhao Jun's food was good before, and when he heard Zhao Weipeng say this again, Chu Anmin couldn't help but curiously asked: "They all say that his food is good, so why is it so good?"

As he spoke, Chu Anmin swept his chopsticks around the table and asked, "No matter how good his family's food is, can I arrange this meal for you?"

"Ha!" Zhao Weipeng curled his lips slightly and sneered, making Chu Anmin feel very unhappy.

Before Chu Anmin could question his guilt, Zhao Weipeng asked: "I came out in a hurry today, and I didn't even try to eat the delicious food they made."

"What does his family eat today?" Chu Anmin was very curious, and then heard Zhao Weipeng say: "His family eats tofu today."

Chu Anmin was startled, and then said angrily: "Go to hell!"

…

Zhao Jun's family had sex with tofu today.

I eat tofu nao and small tofu at noon, and soybean curd at night.

Use a knife to cut the tofu into mahjong pieces, fry them first and then slide them. This is called Tofu Pao locally, but outside it is called Homemade Tofu.

Frozen tofu stewed with kelp, with wild boar meat and meatballs inside.

Chicken shaved tofu is a stir-fry, which is fried tofu with eggs.

At the end of the meal, every burp left me with a beany smell.

After having enough wine and food, the diners went back to their homes.

But at this time, Zhao Youcai hadn't come back yet. He went to Wynn today to make a banquet for the Xing family, and he had to eat there after finishing the meal.

But Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were not worried about Zhao Youcai, because among the people who went to eat, there must be people from Yong'an Tun, and Zhao Youcai would come back with them by then.

"Son, you've been tired for a long day. Just warm your feet and go to bed. You don't have to wait for your dad, I'll wait for him." Wang Meilan came to Zhao Jun's room with a thermos bottle in one hand and a foot towel in the other, and placed the towel on the edge of the kang. . Then he took out the footbath from under the table against the wall, and while pouring water into the basin, he said, "Mom mixed this water for you. It's just right warm."

"Hey!" Zhao Jun responded, rolling up his trousers and saying, "Mom, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow."

"Son, you don't go to work?" Wang Meilan remembered that Zhao Jun said that he would go to work tomorrow, but then Wang Meilan said: "If you don't go to work, you can rest at home. You have been going up the mountain for three days. Mom is afraid that you will be tired."

With that said, Wang Meilan stopped the thermos and continued: "We have all kinds of meat at home and we have enough money to spend. Don't be too tired."

Zhao Jun felt warm in his heart, but the scene of Zhao Youcai handing roe deer meat to Cui Yulan suddenly appeared in his mind.

Zhao Jun's cheeks tightened and he said: "I won't get the dog tomorrow. I will fight with my old uncle and my little minister. Let's see how many roe deer there are in the crowd. When it's over, won't my dad say he wants roe deer?"

Zhao Jun clearly made an appointment with Wang Qiang and the others to hunt squirrels tomorrow, and he said this just to give Zhao Youcai some eye drops.

"Ah?" Wang Meilan was startled and asked, "How do you know your father wants a roe deer?"

In the morning, when Zhao Youcai asked for the roe deer's thigh, Zhao Jun was still awake. Apart from the two of them, only Xing San heard it.

"My third uncle said so." Zhao Jun said: "Before we came back, we sent the old man to Lengchang. After that, he said that my father wanted a roe deer. There was one behind his shack. He asked me to bring it back to my father. I didn't want."

"It's okay if you don't want it." Wang Meilan waved her hand out the window and said, "Roe deer, your dad took them all and put them at your Uncle Li's house."

"Ah..." Zhao Jun nodded slightly and asked: "Mom, did my dad say who he would give the roe deer to?"

"That's not mentioned." Wang Meilan was also startled. She was in a hurry to make dumplings when she got up early, so she didn't bother to ask.

At this moment, the dog outside the house barked twice.

"Is your dad back?" Hearing the barking of the dog, it seemed that it was not a stranger, so Wang Meilan guessed that Zhao Youcai was back.

Zhao Jun sat on the edge of the kang, scalding his feet and unable to move, so Wang Meilan went to the outhouse.

After a while, Zhao Youcai entered the house. As soon as he entered the room, Zhao Youcai took out a bottle of Xifeng wine from his cotton-padded jacket pocket and placed it on the stove. Then he waved to Wang Meilan and said, "Lan, put it away for me. Let's drink it when guests come."

"Are there any visitors?" Wang Meilan took the wine bottle and said with a smile, "Maybe you will drink it one day."

Although Zhao Jun couldn't get up at this time, his father was back and he had to say something.

So, Zhao Jun asked loudly: "Dad, how did you come back?"

"Feng Wuzi rode his bicycle and I sat on his back seat." Zhao Youcai answered as he walked towards the east room.

After entering the east room, Zhao Youcai took off his clothes and sat on the edge of the kang to keep warm.

It was quite cold outside, and Zhao Youcai was frozen to the bone all the way back by bicycle.

Wang Meilan thoughtfully brought him a teapot and filled it with water, and then brought him a footbath and filled it with water.

Zhao Youcai drank water, washed his feet, got on the kang, and got into bed. By this time, he had warmed up, and the two little girls at the head of the kang had already fallen asleep.

Before going to bed at night, which was the purest time of the day for Wang Meilan, she sat on the edge of the kang and washed her feet. Suddenly she remembered something and asked Zhao Youcai, "Hey? Dad, who did you give that roe deer to today?"

"Ah, give it to someone, give it to them..." Zhao Youcai suddenly stopped mid-sentence. He thought of his son and Zhao Jun's scary laughter.

"Both Dayong and Brother Xing know about this." Zhao Youcai did not evade, but directly replied: "That roe deer was given to a man named Cui Yulan."

"Cui Yulan?" Wang Meilan's eyes widened when she heard this, and she shouted, "Why did you get in touch with her again?"

Wang Meilan's shout alerted Zhao Jun in the opposite room, woke up Zhao Hong and Zhao Na who were sleeping, and shocked Zhao Youcai to sit up from the bed.

"What are you talking about?" It would be fatal for a married man to have contact with a widow. At this time, Zhao Youcai was confused and said hurriedly: "What are you talking about? I didn't know her before?"

"Don't you know her?" Wang Meilan stared at her and asked, "Didn't tell me that her father went to your house with a matchmaker to propose marriage? You still don't know her?"

"Matchmaker? Ah..." Zhao Youcai suddenly realized, waved his hand at Wang Meilan, and said: "That's Liu Yulan, this one is Cui Yulan, they are not the same person."

Twenty-five or twenty-six years ago, a girl named Liu Yulan fell in love with Zhao Youcai, and her father asked a matchmaker to go to the Zhao family to propose marriage, but Zhao Jun's grandmother disagreed.

It was also a coincidence that Liu Yulan and Cui Yulan were only one character apart, otherwise Wang Meilan would not be so excited.

In fact, Zhao Jun did not want to provoke the old couple to fight.

As the saying goes: When two tigers fight, one will be injured.

These are his biological father and mother, and it would be bad to hurt anyone. So, Zhao Jun simply pointed it out and let Wang Meilan interrogate Zhao Youcai.

Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan's anger instantly disappeared, but she also rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said: "Liu Yulan, you still remember it clearly."

Zhao Youcai curled his lips and did not dare to dwell on this topic.

But he didn't say anything, so Wang Meilan asked again: "Hey? What does this Yulan do?"

"She's from Yongsheng." Zhao Youcai replied: "You know her husband, he's Wei Tie's uncle Liu Laosan."

"Isn't Wei Tie's uncle dead?" Wang Meilan asked: "She's a widow?"

"Ah." Zhao Youcai couldn't say anything else, so he just replied dryly.

When Wang Meilan heard Zhao Youcai say that Cui Yulan was a widow, she got excited and frowned and asked: "You sent roe deer to a widow, what's the idea?"

There are many gossips around a widow.

For a man from a decent family, it's fine to just nod when they meet a widow, and they rarely say hello. If someone spreads the news that he sent meat to a widow, there will be all kinds of things to say.

"Don't make a fuss, you'll wake up the children." Zhao Youcai told the story of how he and Li Dayong went to trap Wang Dalong and met the Cui sisters.

At this time, not only Wang Meilan was listening, but Zhao Jun was also listening outside the door. He really didn't want to provoke his parents to fight, he just wanted to hear what Zhao Youcai said to Wang Meilan.

Yes, Zhao Youcai had already said it once when they met at noon. But don't they have to give two confessions when interrogating prisoners, and then compare them to find loopholes?

After listening to Zhao Youcai's words, Wang Meilan nodded, and Zhao Jun outside the door also nodded.

Zhao Youcai passed this level, and at this time, Wang Meilan, who had just wiped her feet, casually threw the towel on Zhao Youcai's face and said, "You are so arrogant all day!"

Wang Meilan said this, first, Zhao Youcai's trapping of Wang Dalong was wrong, Wang Dalong called you uncle anyway, no matter how wrong the younger generation was, you, as an elder, trapping people with a sack, that was also wrong.

Second, you shouldn't give meat to widows like that, if people see it, it will be difficult to explain.

Wang Meilan casually threw the towel, and just as Zhao Youcai opened his mouth to speak, the half-wet and half-dry towel was thrown on his mouth.

"You tiger woman!" Zhao Youcai roared angrily: "You rubbed it on my face, did I give you face?"

"Who are you talking about?" Wang Meilan also knew that what she did just now was wrong, so she threw the towel again and threw it on Zhao Youcai's arm.

Zhao Youcai cursed twice and his anger subsided. At this time, Wang Meilan threw the towel over, and Zhao Youcai grabbed it and threatened with shaking his hands: "I will beat you..."

The couple was just joking, and it was impossible for them to really fight. At this time, Zhao Jun, who was listening at the door, felt bad. He pushed the door slightly and saw Zhao Youcai swinging the towel. In a hurry, he pushed the door and roared: "You can't beat my mother!"

There will be more updates at 6 pm tomorrow, so I won't stay up late at night
