The whole mountain is my hunting ground

After hearing Li Wencai say that Jie Chen and his mother were coming, Zhao Youcai knew that the mother and daughter were going back to their hometown in Lingnan to show off. Zhao Youcai, who was worried about not being able to go to Lingnan, had the idea of ​​taking Jie Chen for a ride.

As for what reason to use to persuade Jie Chen, Zhao Youcai had his own ideas.

"Jie Chen and Sister Sun are coming?" Li Laowu heard the news and quickly tied the horse to the elm tree outside the tent and said to Zhao Youcai: "Second brother, my family will arrange it tonight, let them all go to my house for dinner?"

Li Laowu's words were exactly what Zhao Youcai wanted. Tomorrow Li Wencai will kill a pig for dinner. Zhao Youcai doesn't care about the food, but he can't ignore Li Wencai's intention.

So even if Zhao Youcai wants to leave, he has to eat the pig-killing dishes tomorrow before leaving. In this way, the mother and son of the Jie family will stay in Yongxing Brigade for one night.

Li Laowu's family's dinner can be used as a reason.

When the three entered the house, Jie Sun was scolding Jie Chen.

Hearing the door opening, Xie Chen looked out of the room and saw Zhao Youcai coming in. He stood up and called out, "Uncle."

"Hey." Zhao Youcai responded, and Xie Chen greeted Li Laowu who was following behind.

Zhao Youcai entered the house and greeted Jie Sun: "Sister Sun, you arrived the other day. Are you cold?"

"Oh my god, don't mention it, brother-in-law." Jie Sun waved her hand, pointed out the window, and said: "The broken car broke down again on the way, otherwise we would have arrived earlier."

"Why did the car break down again?" Li Laowu asked from the side, and then heard Jie Chen answer: "There is a part in the engine that is not working well."

"It needs to be repaired!" Li Laowu said so, but Jie Chen said: "Ask my brother Li, he said that it needs to be overhauled and replaced. Don't we have to wait for their team to inform us?"

"What day do you have to wait?" Li Laowu tapped Jie Chen's arm with the back of his hand and said: "The day before yesterday, our team collectively repaired the car and tractor. There are all kinds of things. Why don't you ask Xiao Fei Go."

The Xiaofei mentioned by Li Laowu is Tao Fei. Xie Chen heard this and said, "I just went there, but he was not home."

After saying this, Xie Chen added, "Second Uncle Tao was not home either."

"They went to Dongji to deliver something today." Li Laowu said, "You will be back in the evening."

"Ah?" Xie Chen was startled and said, "That won't work, Uncle Wu, we have to leave immediately."

"What are you leaving for?" Li Laowu said, "I will have a dinner party at my house in the evening. If you catch up, you can eat here."

"That's right." Li Wencai, who had been secretly glancing at Xie Sun, retracted his gaze and said to Xie Chen, "Stay one night, and leave after eating the pig-killing dish tomorrow."

"This..." Xie Chen looked at Xie Sun. Xie Sun was different now. The pig-killing dish alone could not keep her.

But before Xie Sun said she wanted to leave, Zhao Youcai said, "Minister, listen to your master Li and the others. You and your mother will stay for one night before you leave. After that, let Xiaofei take care of your car. Otherwise, what will you do if it breaks down halfway and you are in the middle of nowhere?"

After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Xie Chen looked at Xie Sun and asked, "Mom, how about we leave tomorrow?"

Xie Sun was also afraid that the car would break down halfway. If it weren't for the broken car, they would have arrived in Yongxing long ago.

Seeing Xie Sun nodded, everyone was happy.

…

Yong'an Tun Zhao's family.

Zhao Jun and others gathered in the east room, and Wang Meilan presided over the preparatory meeting for the first general shareholders' meeting of Zhao's business.

The participants in the meeting included women from various families, Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang, uncle and nephew, and Xing San, who was specially invited by Wang Meilan.

Finally, Yang Yufeng hurried over with a small bell.

In the morning, Yang Yufeng was still at Zhao's house, but she was worried about Zhang Yuanmin being alone at home, so she didn't even have lunch at Zhao's house.

When the mother and daughter arrived, the participants were basically all there. Wang Meilan picked up a small plastic notebook and handed it to Xiao Lingdang along with a pen.

Xiao Lingdang looked serious and solemnly took the pen and notebook handed by Wang Meilan with both hands.

Due to the shortage of talents, Wang Meilan specially hired Zhang Lingling as the accountant of Zhao's business.

This accountant doesn't need to be so professional, nor does he use the debit and credit accounting method. Because that thing is not only Xiao Lingdang who doesn't know, but also these people can't understand it.

Wang Meilan is very simple for Xiao Lingdang, just need to calculate how much to spend and how much to earn, so that the money can be matched.

Xiao Lingdang sat on the small stool in an orderly manner, with the notebook spread on her knees.

Not only does she serve as an accountant, but she also has to write meeting minutes.

There is no way, who makes her the best writer among the seven families.

As an excellent student in Yong'an Primary School, Xiao Lingdang can write blackboard newspapers and has learned the standard format of letter formats and meeting minutes.

With the sound of rustling, the fountain pen ink left neat handwriting on the paper.

Below the preparatory meeting of the first shareholders' meeting of the Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce, the time of the meeting is January 12, 1988.

Further down is the venue of the meeting. In order to show the wealth of Zhao's business, Xiao Lingdang wrote it as: the first floor east gate of the Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce.

Then there are the attendees of the meeting. Just look at the people in the room and write them one by one.

As for the absentees, Xiao Lingdang wrote the names of Xie Sunshi, Xie Chen, Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu, and Li Ruhai.

There is no need to ask the host of the meeting, it must be Wang Meilan.

And Wang Meilan did not convene this meeting for nothing.

After the meeting started, Wang Meilan directly took out the two fox skins collected by Zhao Jun and announced that the Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce would officially start the business of purchasing furs from today.

Fox skin, badger skin, weasel skin, sable skin, lynx skin are all within the scope of Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce.

In order to better develop the business, Wang Meilan proposed that Xing San and Li Ruhai be responsible for external liaison.

Xing San is mainly responsible for contacting the old mountain dogs he knows, and let those old mountain dogs sell the furs they hunted in winter to Zhaojia Chamber of Commerce.

For the convenience of those old mountain dogs, Wang Meilan also promised to go into the mountains and buy the furs they hunted.

Xing San was suddenly assigned a task, and he couldn't help but be stunned. The old man clicked his eyes, put out the Shilin cigarette butt that was burned to the butt in a simple ashtray made of cans, then opened the lid of the teacup, picked up the teacup and drank a mouthful of Maojian.

Seeing that Xing San didn't say anything, Wang Meilan just thought he acquiesced. Even Xing San was incorporated, not to mention Li Ruhai.

As the saying goes: There are thousands of people in the family, and one person is in charge.

Nowadays, there is a saying about who is in charge in rural areas and forest areas. In this family, whoever is in charge has the final say, and everyone else in the family has to listen to the head of the family.

On the surface, Li Dayong is the head of the Li family, but in fact... Anyway, Jin Xiaomei expressed her opinion on the spot that Li Ruhai of his family will definitely work hard and do a good job diligently.

Hearing what Jin Xiaomei said, Xing San put down the teacup and pursed his lips, thinking that he had to express his opinion too, and immediately said to Wang Meilan: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will talk to them when I go up the mountain tomorrow.

Those old mountain dogs can't be dealt with, but there are a lot of big skins and yellow leaves. You have to prepare more money. At the beginning, people can't give us things on credit."

Most old mountain dogs don't have guns. Even if they have guns, at their age, their skills and eyes can't keep up with the prey.

So, old mountain dogs usually set traps, yellow leaves or big skins.

Yellow leaves are easy to buy, but big skins are expensive. They cost 1,800 yuan each, and you can't buy many with 10,000 yuan.

But this doesn't bother Wang Meilan. She said to Xing San: "Yes, brother, I know this. Don't worry, we can collect them freely and it's okay."

As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Jin Xiaomei said: "Sister-in-law, my family Ruhai will have a holiday tomorrow, so I will scatter (sā) him... No."

"Hahaha..." Jin Xiaomei's slip of the tongue made everyone laugh. There are many mountain mice and yellow skins in the forest area. The chickens, ducks, and geese at home will be penned in the shed at night, and they will be released to find food the next morning. The process of releasing the penned chickens, ducks, and geese is called scattering.

"I'll let him out..." Jin Xiaomei changed her words but it didn't make sense. She hurriedly said, "I'll let him go out and find Wei Tie and Aunt Sun."

"Okay, Xiaomei." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Brother Xing is responsible for those people in the mountains, Ruhai is responsible for the family area, and there are those who run to the mountains in the surrounding villages."

"Second Aunt, what are we going to do?" Xu Chunyan asked.

"Yes, sister." Zhao Ling also asked, and Yang Yufeng next to her nodded.

"Everyone has work to do, and no one can escape." Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Wang Meilan smiled and pointed out the window, saying, "Tomorrow, let's clean up the sheds for my family and Xiaomei's family first, and then build a few shelves to store things."

The original plan was to build more than a dozen wooden sheds at the new house, but it was winter and it was impossible to break ground. Besides, no one lived in the new house, so Wang Meilan wanted to clean up her current shed.

As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Yang Yufeng raised her hand high.

This is someone who knows the rules and knows how to abide by the order of the venue.

"Feng'er, you say." Wang Meilan called her name, and Yang Yufeng stood up and said, "Auntie, my family's Lingdang's father said. If the leather is not in a hurry to sell, the unripened ones must be ash-ripened, and the ripe ones must also be covered with a layer of ash."

"Well said!" Wang Meilan praised Yang Yufeng, raised her hand to signal Yang Yufeng to sit down, and then said: "We will collect the big leather, yellow leaves, and gray dog ​​leather. If they are not ripe, we will use ash to ripen them. It's not a big deal if they are ripened slowly. If they are ripe, we don't need to bother with that. Anyway, in the spring of next year, his uncle Zhao will transport wood, and we will follow the car to sell them all.

If that... the leather we have in stock must be according to what Feng'er said. If they are ripe, we must also apply a layer of ash, otherwise they will be infested with insects in the dog days."

The dog days are humid and hot, and leftover rice and leftovers may become sour after being left for a long time. Some dry goods will grow hair, mold, and even get bugs if they are not properly stored in the dog days.

If leather is not properly stored in the dog days, one piece will get bugs, and all the other pieces will suffer.

But the Zhang family has a secret technique for aging leather, which is to use wood ash to aging leather. Wood ash is very powerful. It can be used to treat wounds, and it can also prevent moisture and insects.

In some places in the Northeast, people start drying vegetables after the beginning of autumn. Some people like to dry cucumbers. They cut the whole cucumber into dices, then roll it in wood ash and put it in the sun to dry.

The main purpose of rolling this wood ash is to prevent bugs. Moreover, cucumbers dried with wood ash will turn into their original emerald green color after washing with clean water.

Everyone responded one after another, and Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun: "Son, let's take some time to go down the mountain in the next two days, sell all the bear galls that should be sold to the warehouse, and give the shares to the families who should be sold. They will have to buy shares after that."

At the end, Wang Meilan herself was happy.

In this transaction, except for the old lady, the other six families all contributed money, and then divided the shares according to the proportion.

"Mom, you have to prepare to contribute some money in the next two days." Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan, "I bought those two fox skins today and gave that guy 60 yuan. The eyes of this guy and the villagers are red. I estimate that there will be a lot of fox skins tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Well done, son!" Wang Meilan praised Zhao Jun and said, "With the heavy reward, there will be a man!"

"Yeah!" Zhao Jun nodded with a smile. The couple always thought that what they said was right, and no one around them noticed it.

Only the little bell that recorded it suddenly felt something was wrong when it came to the word common man.

If this were Li Ruhai, he would have shouted out on the spot. Little Lingdang knew what was good and knew not to reveal the matter in public. Moreover, this child really wrote "Under the heavy reward, there must be a man".

"Son!" At this time, Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun: "How are you going to fix those old air guns? When are you going to sell them? That costs a lot of money."

"Mom, sell it right away!" Zhao Jun smiled and said: "When the Xishan gang beats the fox, they will have money. Let's ask who is willing. If he agrees, he will I'll deposit seventy yuan here, and then we'll get him an air rifle, which we'll rent to him.

He is holding an air gun and is going to hit the gray skin. Let's take that skin. After ten days and a half, ask them to take back the air rifle and return it to us, and give them the 70 yuan that should be paid.

But if they want to continue using our gun, the seventy yuan will be considered the money to buy the gun, and the gun will be given to them. "

"Seventy?" Xing San heard this, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhao Jun's arm, and said, "I heard from the old boss of Dongerchazi that his nephew bought a high-pressure air gun two days ago for eighty yuan."

Hearing Xing San's words, everyone laughed. Wang Qiang pulled Xing San and whispered: "Brother, we are looking for someone to place the order in a confidential factory. After that, we bought a lot. Let's get it together for thirty-four." A handful.”

"Ah?"

But Xing San knows that as long as those gangsters in Xishan have gray skin, they will definitely buy guns.

Gray leather is getting more expensive year by year. This year, the purchasing price of the supply and marketing cooperative has risen to 378. Two pieces of gray leather can be exchanged for an air gun.

What's more, Zhao Jun's air guns are cheaper than those sold by supply and marketing cooperatives. One is ten yuan cheaper. Anyone who buys air guns will buy Zhao Jun's.

"Boy, you are so wise!" Xing San praised Zhao Jun. Although Zhao Jun earned a lot, Xing San did not think Zhao Jun was evil.

Because Zhao Jun earned this money by maintaining relationships. And there is no forced buying or selling. If those hooligans don't want to buy, just refund them the deposit.

Zhao Jun chuckled. If these air guns had been kept, they would have increased to one hundred or one hundred and two.

But Zhao Jun can't wait that long. As Wang Meilan said, this is too expensive.

Zhao Jun forget it, the difference is fifty yuan at most for an air gun, and twenty-five thousand for five hundred. But it would take three years, and all those three years had already come back.

It's a little late. There's dinner at home in the morning. I have to entertain you. I'll kill a chicken for you. They all left after dinner. I will update as usual in the evening.
