The whole mountain is my hunting ground

The old leopard skin had been hanging in the east room for several days. While Zhao Jun was not at home, Zhao Youcai recommended himself several times and said he would take it out to ask someone for a price, but Wang Meilan ignored him.

Today was also a coincidence. Zheng Xuekun came to collect bear bile, and Wang Meilan happened to come to the east room and saw the leopard skin hanging on the wall at a glance. Thinking that this old boy named Zheng even wants badger skins, he should also want leopard skins, right?

Although Wang Meilan doesn't know much about business, she knows that there is an old saying in Northeast China that goes up the pole is not a business.

Therefore, Wang Meilan did not take the initiative to give the leopard skin to Zheng Xuekun, but used words to arouse Zheng Xuekun's curiosity.

Zheng Xuekun traveled all over the world, how could he not see this? But he also wanted to see leopard skin, so he followed what Wang Meilan and Zhao Jun said.

But when Wang Meilan brought the leopard skin from the east room, Zheng Xuekun's eyes suddenly widened.

In the past two years, he has been collecting mountain products in the Northeast, buying everything from wild vegetables to skins and bear bile.

Zheng Xuekun has collected large skins and lynx skins, but none of them are as gorgeous as this leopard skin.

Zheng Xuekun took the leopard skin with both hands, held it with one hand at the bottom, and stroked it with the other hand.

That feel, Zheng Xuekun feels great!

At this time, Zheng Donghai was holding the edge of the leopard skin and secretly poked his father with his elbow.

Zheng Xuekun lowered his head slightly, glanced to the side, and quickly exchanged a look with Zheng Donghai.

Then, Zheng Xuekun raised his head, looked at Zhao Jun and asked, "Xiao Zhao, are you going out with this piece of leather?"

"This..." Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment, then said with some difficulty: "This... we came up with it, but we don't know the price."

Hearing this, Zheng Xuekun plucked the leopard's fur with his fingers. He saw the stitches, but the whole surface was intact.

Zheng Xuekun touched the leopard skin two more times, then rolled up the leopard skin and handed it back to Wang Meilan, muttering as if regretfully: "What a pity."

After Zheng Xuekun finished speaking, he saw Zhao Jun getting up, but Zhao Jun didn't want to say anything to him, but just let a few people disperse cigarettes.

"Master Zheng." Zhao Jun handed the cigarette to Zheng Xuekun and said with a smile: "Smoke."

"Hey, thank you." Zheng Xuekun took the cigarette and thanked him, but he held the cigarette between his legs without putting it in his mouth.

He just said "It's a pity" and waited to bargain with Zhao Jun. But what he didn't expect was that Zhao Jun didn't pick up the fight at all.

While Zheng Xuekun was stunned, Zhang Yuanmin struck a match and came to light his cigarette.

Zheng Xuekun thanked Zhang Yuanmin again, and after taking a puff of cigarette, he gradually calmed down.

If Zheng Xuekun can do business these days, he must have seen enough people and things. He has the patience to spend time with Zhao Jun.

But after Zhao Jun finished smoking, he started chatting with Jin Xiaoshan. The chat was about Jin Xiaoshan's need to package small materials and small materials in the forest farm.

Speaking of this, Jin Xiaoshan was a little excited and couldn't stop talking.

At Yongan Forestry Farm, every winter production and finished aniseed materials are transported to support the construction of China. The forest farm transports hundreds of thousands of cubic meters of this kind of wood every year.

With so many large materials, there will definitely be some small materials and small materials. Yongan Forestry Farm was too busy, so it contracted these small timber and small materials to individuals in batches. Each person was responsible for one piece, transported it out by himself, and then processed or sold it. The forestry farm ignored it.

If you do this job in a year, you can earn about 2,000 yuan. Although it is not as valuable as the bear bile sold by Zhao Jun, for Jin Xiaoshan, this is his career.

Last month, when Jin Xiaoshan came, he had this intention. And this little thing, for Li Dayong now, is just one sentence, saying hello to the leader of the forest management or acceptance inspection.

Then again, in fact, Li Dayong didn't need to open his mouth for Bao Xiaocai and Xiaocai. If Zhao Jun came to the team to say something, Xu Baoshan would definitely be happy to give him this face.

But this trivial matter was an opportunity for Li Dayong to gain face in front of Jin Xiaomei's family. How could he leave it to others?

In this way, Jin Xiaoshan successfully secured a job at Yong'an Forest Farm. In a few days, everyone would call him Jin Boss.

Jin Baotou was so happy that he couldn't hold back his words. He talked with Zhao Jun and others about forestry acceptance, dispatching, statistics, and finally the construction of China.

Now, Zheng Xuekun was a little impatient. He wanted to discuss the price of the leopard skin with Zhao Jun. Whether it worked or not, there had to be a result. Therefore, Zheng Xuekun finally found an opportunity to interrupt and ask Zhao Jun: "Hey, Xiao Zhao."

"Master Zheng." Zhao Jun heard this and glanced at Zheng Xuekun. Then he stood up and stretched out his hand to Zheng Xuekun as if he suddenly understood, "I'll give you some more water."

"No need." Zheng Xuekun hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I won't drink anymore, I won't drink anymore. Xiao Zhao, sit down and let me ask you something."

"Yes." Zhao Jun sat back on the bench, looked at Zheng Xuekun and said, "Master Zheng, please tell me."

Zheng Xuekun looked aside, but there was no sign of the leopard skin. With Zhao Jun's look just now, Wang Meilan sent the leopard skin back to the east room.

Zheng Xuekun turned around and asked Zhao Jun: "I heard you just called the leopard skin a native leopard. Isn't this native leopard the same as the Siberian leopard?"

"Yeah." Zhao Jun replied with a smile: "It's also called the Amur Leopard."

"The leopard is also it." Suddenly, someone interrupted, and the speaker was Li Ruhai, who had been waiting for a long time for the opportunity.

"Huh?" Zheng Xuekun took the opportunity to ask: "Jianbao, who did you hear this?"

This leopard is called a native leopard by people in the forest area, and the more official term is the Siberian leopard. But the name of the golden leopard is rarely mentioned in this rural area.

Li Ruhai's words attracted everyone's attention to him. At this time, he smiled faintly and said: "It is written in the book, Tang Long, the golden leopard!"

Li Ruhai was just confused. He only thought of this because of the patterns on the leopard's skin.

According to Li Ruhai's original intention, no matter what he said was true or false, these people might not know, so he let Meng go.

And Li Ruhai's misconception not only made him right, but also made him bluff people!

Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai traveled extensively and heard about Water Margin through radio broadcasts and street performances.

But most people know nothing more about the characters in "Water Margin" than Song Jiang, Wu Yong, and Hei Li Kui. Who would pay attention to a supporting character who doesn't even have a 200-character plot? Even if you just listen to it, you will not remember this person.

But when a layman looks at the excitement and an expert looks at the door, Li Baoyu's eyes light up and he suddenly feels that his brother may be right!

Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, Li Ruhai gave Zheng Xuekun a chance to continue the topic. He smiled and asked Li Ruhai: "Boy, what book are you reading?"

Li Ruhai chuckled and said, "It's just a blind look. Remember something."

When Zheng Xuekun heard this, he felt that the child was quite humble and looked like a good student, so he asked, "Has he gone to junior high school?"

"I did." Li Ruhai replied, "I don't read it now."

"Huh?" As soon as Li Ruhai said this, Zheng Xuekun and Jin Xiaoshan were startled. Zheng Xuekun had a problem with his eyesight. He looked at Li Ruhai and looked like a good student. As for Jin Xiaoshan, he remembered that when he accompanied Zheng Donghai a while ago, his nephew was still in school. It had only been more than half a month, so why did he drop out of school?

Li Ruhai didn't let the two of them speculate, and said proudly: "I'm at work!"

"What?" Jin Xiaoshan raised his head and asked Jin Xiaomei, "Sister, when did it happen?"

Jin Xiaomei smiled and said, "Just a few days ago."

Although it was Jin Xiaomei who spoke, Jin Xiaoshan still couldn't believe how old Li Ruhai was. What could such a small child do at work? Besides, which unit can want him?

With this question in his mind, Jin Xiaoshan turned to Li Baoyu and asked again: "Baoyu, where does Ruhai go to work?"

Li Baoyu lowered the corner of his mouth and said, "Just leave it to our forest farm."

"Forest farm." Jin Xiaoshan was even more surprised after hearing this. He turned back to Jin Xiaomei again and said, "Did my brother-in-law arrange it?"

Jin Xiaomei wanted to accept it casually, but Li Ruhai smiled beside him and said, "Third uncle, I found this job myself."

"I found it myself..." This time, not only Jin Xiaoshan, but also the Zheng family father and son who were watching the excitement were shocked. Although they are from a household worth tens of thousands of dollars, in the eyes of many people, they are not as good as the Guileng workers employed by Yongan Forestry Farm.

This is not a joke, let's put it this way, regular employees of Yong'an Forest Farm, even if they are disabled, as long as they are not as disabled as Zhang Laibao, if they want to find a wife in these ten miles and eight villages, they will have to pick and choose.

When a child was able to work at Yong'an Forest Farm, Zheng Xuekun immediately concluded that this child was a genius. In this regard, Zheng Xuekun was as sure as he had just concluded that Wang Meilan was a widow.

While Jin Xiaoshan was surprised, he was also happy for his sister and nephew. At this time, he wanted to ask about the specific situation, but Zheng Xuekun hurriedly stopped him.

Li Ruhai was not his nephew. Even if he was the director on the spot, what did Zheng Xuekun have to do with him? If you have time to care about this, you might as well care about leopard skins.

Zheng Xuekun smiled at Li Ruhai and said, "Boy, you said it's called a leopard, is it because of the pattern on the leather?"

"That's right." Li Ruhai said expertly, "Don't the patterns look like the big money used by people in the past?"

Zheng Xuekun knows that people here like to call copper coins big money. At this time, he felt that Li Ruhai was right.

But how did he know that what Li Ruhai said was completely based on the explanation of Tang Long's nickname in "Water Margin".

Suddenly, Li Ruhai was slightly startled. He saw Zhao Jun on his side, pressing the first joint of his index finger with the thumb of his left hand, and then rubbed it twice quickly.

This action is similar to counting money, and is a matching action when people in the countryside talk about money.

How smart is this kid Li Ruhai? He immediately understood what Zhao Jun meant, and the kid was quick in writing. He turned to Zheng Xuekun and said: "Golden Leopard, money, money, if you have it, you will have money."

"Yeah!" When Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai heard this, their eyes lit up. Don't blame them for being superstitious. From ancient times to the present, the person who receives the most incense is always the God of Wealth.

Li Ruhai raised his hand and gestured and said: "Who wants to buy this leopard skin, put it on a stool, and sit on it, then you..."

Although Li Ruhai said half of his words, he left a space for imagination for the Zheng family and his son. At this time, the two of them felt that the scene Li Ruhai had just described seemed to have been seen somewhere. It should be a scene in a movie, and it was a shot of a domineering character.

The two men were stunned for a moment before Li Ruhai continued, "Do you know what this is called?"

Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai didn't react at all, but they subconsciously said in unison: "What is it called?"

Li Ruhai clapped his hands and said, "Just wait and get rich!"

When he suddenly said this, both the Zheng family and his son were stunned, but when Li Ruhai explained: "When doing business, you are all about money, aren't you just waiting to get rich?"

"Oops!" Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai both widened their eyes instantly, and their eyes were bright at this time.

Li Ruhai quietly looked at Zhao Jun and saw Zhao Jun clenching his fist in his left hand with his thumb slightly raised. Although it was vague, Li Ruhai could clearly see that this was a compliment to himself.

Li Ruhai smiled proudly in his heart, closed his eyelids, narrowed his eyes slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

After Zhao Jun silently praised Li Ruhai, he winked at Zhang Yuanmin. Zhang Yuanmin was stunned at first, then opened his mouth and silently said "ah".

Then, Zhang Yuanmin took out his cigarette case from his pocket, took out a few cigarettes and gave them to Jin Xiaoshan, Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai.

The father and son of the Zheng family took the cigarette without saying a word. Next to him, Jin Xiaoshan struck a match. Zheng Xuekun lit the cigarette. As soon as he took a puff of smoke, he heard Zhang Yuanmin say: "Oh, my father was also a good man back then." .”

When Zheng Xuekun heard this, he immediately frowned and looked at Zhang Yuanmin, thinking to himself, why is this nagging your father again?

Zhang Yuanmin didn't care what Zheng Xuekun thought, and continued to talk to himself: "My father has been to both the Greater and Lesser Xing'an Mountains, and even fought against Huandahan."

As he spoke, Zhang Yuanmin pointed to the table behind Zhao Jun and said, "Brother, bring me my knife."

Zhang Yuanmin has been at Zhao Jun's house since he came back from the mountains today. While eating, he took out his pocket knife and put it on the table over there.

Taking the knife from Zhao Jun's hand, Zhang Yuanmin showed it to the Zheng family and his son, and said, "This is the knife my father used to make cannonball leather. The handle is made of Huandahan leather."

When Zheng Xuekun heard this, he looked at Zhang Yuanmin blankly and said, "This... we won't accept it."

"I didn't say sell it." Zhang Yuanmin felt a little unhappy. This knife was left by his father. Who said he would sell it?

Zhang Yuanmin put the knife next to his leg, and then said to Zheng Xuekun: "My father has been wandering for so many years, and he has even looked at the big paw several times, but he has never seen a native leopard. Let's just say this thing is too little. , there are even fewer that can be hunted, and the one who can give you the whole skin and put it here is my brother."

"Yes." Zheng Xuekun agreed: "This Siberian leopard, I've heard some old people here talk about it, but I haven't heard of anyone hunting it."

"Then look." Zhang Yuanmin spread his hands and said: "This is just a piece of skin. If you want ten thousand, just ten thousand; if you want twenty thousand, then twenty thousand. No one else can say anything, because he doesn't have it. !”

Hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai nodded in unison. This leopard is indeed rare. It is called the Siberian leopard, and it must only be found in the Northeast. The two of them have been living in the Northeast for several years, but they have never seen leopard hair.

At this time, Zheng Xuekun turned to Wang Meilan and said, "Sister, please, please bring the leopard skin and let me see it again."

"This..." Wang Meilan hesitated after hearing this! She stood there, looking at Zheng Xuekun with a troubled expression, struggling in her heart.

"Mom." When Zhao Jun saw this, he spoke quickly and said to Wang Meilan with a smile: "Bring it to Master Zheng to have a look. The leather doesn't look bad."

Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun and was speechless for two seconds. When everyone was surprised, Wang Meilan called Zhao Jun and said, "Son, come with me."

After saying that, Wang Meilan walked out the door, but when she left the west room, she did not go to the east room, but towards the door.

Zheng Xuekun saw this scene in his eyes, and he turned his gaze back to the canvas bag in Zheng Donghai's arms.

At this time, Zheng Xuekun had an idea in his mind that this little money should be enough.

Yes, he was alive.

Before coming to the Northeast, Zheng Xuekun also did business in Guanli for two years. The ups and downs of the business world in these years made Zheng Xuekun very alert.

Moreover, this old boy is dishonest and has many tricks, which can be seen from his purchase of bear bile.

But what Zheng Xuekun never expected was that in this small village, someone could convince him with just a few words.

At this time, outside Zhao Jun's house, under the window of the east room, Wang Meilan waved to Zhao Jun and said, "Son, come here."

"Oh my god." Zhao Jun took a few steps and came to Wang Meilan and asked, "What happened?"

Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun and said with some urgency: "Our family is not short of money, otherwise we shouldn't sell the leopard skin."

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned and didn't understand what kind of medicine Wang Meilan was selling in this gourd.

Wang Meilan added: "On the day we shot the leopard, I remembered that Baoyu, Jiechen, and your brother Zhang were all there, and they belonged to our four families. If we can't get some money for them, our family bought the skin." "

"Ah?" Zhao Jun was a little confused and asked in a lowered voice: "Mom, why did you buy it?"

"Sit down." Wang Meilan glared and whispered to Zhao Jun: "Why don't you say Ru Hai? Just sit back and wait to get rich."

Zhao Jun: "..."
