Chapter 22 The mantis stalks the cicada

At the same time that Zhao Wenmu and Li Guofu agreed on the next cooperation plan.

Sanli Village, Sun Guoqing's home.

Sun Guoqing had broken up with his family a long time ago. He didn't care about his relatives. After all, the whole family was poor. All the money his parents had had already been used to build a new house. It would be a great deal for them not to have to support themselves in the future.

So the current situation is that he lives alone in the new house, while his parents and his eldest brother's family are still crowded in the old house.

Both sides ignored each other and pretended that the other party did not exist.

"Brother National Day, let's ask clearly! Zhao Wenmu sells game to state-owned restaurants. The price is hare, pheasant is 2 yuan per catty, and fish is 1 yuan and 2 per catty!"

Li Ergou finally got these words from a waiter in a state-owned hotel.

Well, that "waiter" is Wang Youming.

"The waiter also said that the county state-owned hotel is now helping the city state-owned hotel to purchase game, and Zhao Wenmu's supply is simply not enough!"

"He's so pissed off! He can sell something for a few cents a pound for 2 yuan! No wonder he made a lot of money!"

"Then what should we do?"

"Yeah, what should we do?"

Li Ergou and the other two people who were responsible for following him couldn't hold it any longer. Selling wild game was so profitable!

"Go, find Zhao Wenbao and the others, and let's catch rabbits too!"

Sun Guoqing gathered all his younger brothers.

A large group of people went into the mountains to catch rabbits.

Noon, Shanqian Village.

Zhao Wenmu came to Zhao Xuelei's house with two bottles of Laobaigan, a piece of pork, and two boxes of large chickens in his pocket.

"Auntie, where is my second uncle?"

"It's Xiao Mu, come here as you please, why are you carrying so many things!"

Dong Wenhua, Zhao Xuelei's daughter-in-law, had a smile on her face and quickly welcomed Zhao Wenmu into the yard.

"Your second uncle has gone to feed the cows. He will be back soon. You go inside and sit down first."

After saying that, she entered the kitchen and was preparing lunch when Zhao Wenmu came in.

Now that we have guests coming, we naturally have to cook a few more dishes.

Zhao Wenmu was not polite and went to the room to sit and wait for Zhao Xuelei.

Sure enough, Zhao Xuelei came back seven or eight minutes later.

Seeing what Zhao Wenmu brought, he asked with a straight face:

"You have nothing to do to show your courtesy, what do you want to do? Don't think that I don't know that you are secretly buying mountain goods."

Although his tone was serious, there was still a smile on his face.

When this second uncle of the family was really angry, he would put one hand behind his back and scold Fang Qiu with the other, training the members to be as arrogant as his grandson. It was not like he had never seen it before.

Where is this going now?

Zhao Xuelei's real idea is to let the members use their spare time to increase their income. This is a good thing, and he will not be a bad guy!

But Zhao Wenmu must have some evil idea when he came to the door with so many things. Thinking of this made his heart twitch.

"Look at what you said, if nothing happens, can't I come and see my second uncle?"

"Oh, that's okay. Second uncle, you saw it too, so get out of here!"

"No, second uncle, we haven't seen each other for so long. No matter what, I have to drink a few cups with you."

Zhao Wenmu smiled playfully and looked shameless. He opened a bottle of Laobaigan and poured a cup for Zhao Xuelei and himself.

"You boy!"

Zhao Xuelei smiled and pointed at Zhao Wenmu, picked up the wine glass and took a deep sip.

Dong Wenhua just brought the food from the kitchen and said with a smile:

"I'll cook some more food, and you two can have a nice drink."

After a few mouthfuls of wine and food, Zhao Xuelei put away his smile and said seriously to Zhao Wenmu:

"Xiao Mu, what's going on? Stop hiding it."

Zhao Wenmu took out the letter of introduction that Li Guofu had written to him before from his pocket.

A letter of introduction for the supply of game and wild vegetables to state-owned restaurants.

The cooperation agreement signed by both parties involved transaction details, such as prices, etc., which were not convenient for others to see, so Zhao Wenmu did not show them.

"Second uncle, the state-owned hotel needs a batch of wild game. My little tricks alone are definitely not enough. We need help from the team."

"How much do you need?"

"Pheasants, hares, and wild boars weigh 340 kilograms a day, carp and crucian carp weigh 210 kilograms a day, and there will be more in the future."

Zhao Xuelei took a sip of wine.

"What about the price?"

"Same as before, 7 cents for mountain products and 5 cents for fish."

Zhao Xuelei simply put the cup to his mouth, sipping lightly while thinking.

After a while, he put down the cup and said:

"Okay, you can organize the purchase yourself, but one thing is that it cannot affect production! In addition, for every kilogram purchased, 1 cent will be handed over to the production team."

"The production team also gave me a letter of introduction to prove that I was acting according to the production team's instructions!"

"No! This is absolutely not possible!"

Zhao Xuelei refused firmly. The team could acquiesce to Zhao Wenmu's purchase of game, but could not endorse him. These were two different things.

"Second uncle, Captain Zhao, please give more than 50 yuan a day to the team. The team can't do nothing, right?"

"How much is 50 a day, a month, or a year? Calculate it yourself?"

This number will be several times the total income of the current Shanqian Village production team!

But the impact of the letter of introduction is too great, which is equivalent to shifting all the responsibility to the production team.

Zhao Xuelei picked up the wine glass and sipped it gently, his expression kept changing, and he didn't even notice that the wine in the glass was finished.

"Second uncle, don't worry. I need a letter of introduction to deal with the team members. The higher-level department has a letter of introduction for the state-owned hotel! I will definitely not trick you, right?"

Zhao Xuelei thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

The letter of introduction from the state-owned hotel is Zhao Wenmu's trump card.

And this money is so important to the village. With this money, many things can be carried out in the village.

"Okay! I'll get the letter of introduction for you!"

Once the production team is taken care of, the rest will be easy to handle.

That night, Zhao Wenmu asked his father, Zhao Xuehai, to find a few elderly people in the village. There were only a few surnames in the village. These elderly people were of higher seniority and had a considerable say in the civil affairs of the village.

"Grandpas, uncles, and uncles, this is what it is. When you go back, tell your family. If anyone is willing to do it, just go to my eldest brother's orchard to deliver goods at five o'clock every night!"

Zhao Wenmu said while raising the letter of introduction in his hand.

Then he handed the letter of introduction issued by the production team and the letter of introduction from the state-owned hotel to an old man and asked them to take turns to look at it.

If we don't do this, many people will not dare to catch wild game and sell it.

Some people will even go to the commune to report him!

In this simple and lovely era, anything is possible.

"One thing must be made clear in advance. Agricultural production must not be delayed. If any family misses farm work and the production team's tasks due to hunting, their prey will not be used in the future!"

"Also, each household can purchase up to ten kilograms a day!"

Five or six hundred jins may seem like a lot, but if the whole village goes hunting, even 1,800 jins a day won't be a big deal.

As the news spread, Zhao Wenmu felt relieved.

These elderly people were very excited and repeatedly checked with him to see if the price was correct.

In their view, the temptation of mountain products at 7 cents per catty and fish at 5 cents per catty is too great!

Ten pounds a day can earn five or six yuan!

Several old people will go home immediately to deliver the good news and gather their families to go hunting in the mountains.

When Zhao Wenmu saw this situation, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
