Back in Luochuan, Su Xiaofan did not go home first, but went to Jing Shizhen's villa.
Before leaving, the master told Su Xiaofan the password and the location of the icehouse key. He was going to take some python meat back this time.
The python's meat decomposed into a total of more than 2,500 kilograms. Except for the 200 kilograms sold and the more than 100 kilograms eaten by the tiger cats in the past few days, the rest are all in the cold storage.
Su Xiaofan took a total of six bags of meat, which weighed more than 300 kilograms. The refrigerator at home would definitely not be able to fit it. He placed an order for a freezer yesterday and it will be delivered today.
When Su Xiaofan entered his community, he took some express delivery from the security room at the door.
These express deliveries were all for Duobao, including a cat nest and cat toys, but they didn’t buy cat food because their Duobao didn’t eat that stuff.
"It's better to live in a villa."
Back home, Su Xiaofan actually disliked the two-hundred-square-meter flat floor. During this time, he stayed in Fengmen Village. The close-to-nature environment made Su Xiaofan feel very comfortable.
Jumping down from Su Xiaofan's shoulder, the little tiger cat walked around the entire house with tiger steps.
Although it is a cat, but with the word "tiger" in its name, the little guy still pays great attention to his territory. During the few days in Fengmen Village, he once killed a fox. Apparently he felt that the fox had invaded his territory.
Su Xiaofan has been doing nothing else with the little tiger cat these past few days. He just teaches it not to hurt people. If he is scratched by it, it will not be a matter of going to the hospital for a tetanus injection.
Not long after returning home, the freezer was delivered to the door. After putting the python meat into the freezer and the freezer of the refrigerator, Su Xiaofan had time to make himself a cup of tea.
The tea leaves are chrysanthemums picked from the hillside in Fengmen Village.
The day after killing the giant python, Su Xiaofan took out the chrysanthemums on the hillside and left them on the river bed to dry in the sun for a few days. He took some away to his sister, bringing back less than ten kilograms in total.
"Back to Luochuan?" As soon as he sat down and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea, Zheng Dagang's call came in.
"Got home."
Su Xiaofan was answering the phone with one hand and stroking the little tiger cat with the other hand. Unlike other domestic cats, the little tiger cat had very short hair, but it felt very good.
"Let's have dinner together tonight, what do you want to eat? Want to eat hot pot?" When Zheng Dagang called, it was almost five o'clock, which happened to be dinner time.
"Brother Gang, come home, I'll cook something delicious for you."
Su Xiaofan laughed when he heard this. He had been busy with other things these days, so he only ate a few python meat jerky. Now that he finally had time, Su Xiaofan naturally had to reward himself.
"Do it yourself? That's fine. Do you need me to bring anything?"
Zheng Dagang knew that Su Xiaofan had always been cooking by himself, and his skills were quite good.
"Bring some onions, ginger, garlic and cooking wine." Su Xiaofan was not polite, he didn't have time to buy it.
Su Xiaofan put down his cell phone, opened the refrigerator, took out a piece of snake meat, and used a knife to break up a piece of meat that weighed about seven or eight kilograms.
They are all pure meat that has been stripped of snake bones, and the meat of python is a bit like beef. It does not contain much water and can be cut after it has thawed a little and frozen.
Su Xiaofan cut the seven or eight kilograms of python meat into two or three centimeter-long pieces, threw it directly into the water and boiled it. After it boiled over high heat, he added some salt and stewed it over low heat.
Originally, Su Xiaofan wanted to stir-fry it, but it felt like it was a bit of a waste of ingredients. In fact, the most famous snake meat is the dragon-tiger fight, but after taking a look at the little tiger cat, Su Xiaofan gave up this idea.
Zheng Dagang lived not very far from Su Xiaofan's house. Counting the time spent buying groceries, he rushed over in less than an hour.
"What does it smell like? It smells so good?" Zheng Dagang's nose twitched as soon as he walked in. The smell was really mouth-watering.
"Duobao, go back!" Seeing the little tiger cat on the sofa arching its back, Su Xiaofan quickly scolded him.
Hearing Su Xiaofan's voice, the tiger cat, which was about to attack, lay lazily on the sofa again.
"When did you get a cat?"
Zheng Dagang stared at the tiger cat for a long time, then turned his head and said with a serious face: "Xiaofan, tiger cats are not allowed to be raised, as they can easily cause trouble."
"Brother Gang, do you know Tiger Cat?" Su Xiaofan was stunned when he heard this. Tiger Cat followed him and met many people, but only Zheng Dagang recognized him.
"Of course I know it. This is a banned cat. Where did you get it?"
In fact, when Zheng Dagang was working as a stall owner in an antique market a few years ago, he opened a pet shop with his friends, and the business was pretty good at first.
It's just that his friend thought that the profit of ordinary pets was too low, so he secretly imported a few tiger cats and leopard cats, but he didn't expect that the relevant departments would take away the whole litter.
In the end, they didn't make any money and were fined a sum. If it weren't for Zheng Dagang's family connections, he and that buddy would have stayed there for a few years.
So when he saw this tiger cat, Zheng Dagang recognized it at a glance. This was also a man who had been afraid of snake bites for ten years.
"Caught in the mountains."
Su Xiaofan said: "To the outside world, just say it is a domestic ocelot, and most people won't be able to tell the difference."
"Didn't you buy it from someone else? That's okay."
Hearing Su Xiaofan's words, Zheng Dagang breathed a sigh of relief.
When investigating and punishing protected animals, the buyers or sellers are usually involved when something goes wrong. This is what happened to him back then.
However, Su Xiaofan's tiger cat was not bought and sold, so the chance of being investigated was very small, because Su Xiaofan was right, most people would not recognize tiger cats.
"You are a bit fierce cat, I have to stay away."
After handing the things he was carrying to Su Xiaofan, Zheng Dagang was stunned and did not dare to sit on the sofa. Instead, he followed Su Xiaofan into the kitchen.
"What kind of meat is being cooked here?" When he opened the lid of the pot, the fragrant aroma made Zheng Dagang almost want to reach into the pot and grab a piece of it.
"Don't ask yet, you can taste it yourself later."
Su Xiaofan chuckled, washed the onions and ginger, cut them into sections and shredded them, took out the white and tender snake segments cooked in the pot, poured some cooking wine, and sprinkled onions and ginger.
There was too much meat, so Su Xiaofan divided it into two plates, turned on two stoves, and put the python meat in the two plates back into the pot to steam it.
After steaming over the fire for twenty minutes, Su Xiaofan brought a large plate of snow-white snake meat to the dining room table. Zheng Dagang, who couldn't wait any longer, picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth.
"Damn it, what kind of meat is this? It's so tender."
What surprised Zheng Dagang was that the meat, which seemed a bit tight, was extremely tender when he entered it, and he chewed it up with almost no effort.
After taking one bite, Zheng Dagang felt warm all over his body. It was not the kind of heat, but a very comfortable feeling.
"Can't you eat it?" Su Xiaofan smiled, found a big bowl, divided out about two kilograms of python meat, and placed it on the dining table.
Without Su Xiaofan's call, the little tiger cat jumped on the table and ate each piece of meat in one bite, much faster than Zheng Dagang.
"It's a bit like fish meat, but I've never seen fish meat that has been boiled and then steamed to keep it from falling apart?"
Zheng Dagang tasted it while eating, and even guessed several times without getting it right.
"It's python meat, giant python." Su Xiaofan chuckled, and took a piece of python meat and put it in his mouth, slowly savoring the delicious meat.
"Python meat?"
Zheng Dagang's hand holding the vegetables trembled, "Brother, you are both a tiger cat and a python. Have you been running into the tropical jungle these days?"
It's not that Zheng Dagang doesn't dare to eat python meat, but it's because it is also a protected animal. If he is caught trading, it will be capped for at least five years starting from one year.
"Well, I went to the jungle. I caught it myself, so feel free to eat it."
Seeing that the little tiger cat's bowl was almost empty, Su Xiaofan pushed some more for it. Even Zheng Dagang couldn't finish the seven or eight kilograms of meat.
As for Su Xiaofan himself, eating the python meat is just for taste, and it does not help much in his cultivation. Of course, if he exercises extensively, the python meat will help his muscles recover.
"This thing is so delicious, but it's a pity that I can't eat it."
As soon as Zheng Dagang ate about a pound, he put down his chopsticks in pain. He felt that his belly would burst if he continued to eat.
"I'll bring you some later and give Uncle Zheng a taste too."
Su Xiaofan was not stingy at all towards Zheng Dagang. Not to mention the help Brother Gang helped him when he first entered the society, even that time he was electrocuted, it was all due to Zheng Dagang running around. Su Xiaofan really regarded him as an elder brother in his heart.
.
"Okay, I have to take some back."
Zheng Dagang nodded. After eating this python meat, he felt very energetic. Giving it to his parents might improve their physical condition.
"Brother Gang, do you know anyone who makes jerky?" Su Xiaofan asked. He wanted to make some jerky to take with him as food for the little tiger cat.
"I know you, how much of this meat do you have? As for making it into jerky?" Zheng Dagang was stunned when he heard this, "One kilogram of meat can be dried to make jerky, which can only be six taels at most. It's better to eat it like this."
"It's a few hundred kilograms. I'm going out in a few days and want to take some with me." Su Xiaofan pointed to the little tiger cat who had eaten and drank enough and lay back on the sofa.
"Still going out? Where are you going?"
Zheng Dagang smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, we are still running a company, so don't be careless."
"Brother Yougang, just take it seriously."
Su Xiaofan laughed when he heard this, "I have prepared all the goods for you, and you are responsible for selling them. This is what we agreed before. Brother Gang, you can't let me be a salesperson."
After receiving more than 30 million, plus the 3 million that Zhao Zhengshan transferred to him some time ago, Su Xiaofan now has about 34 to 5 million in his account, and his desire for money is not as strong as before.
And there is no information about the meteorite auction now, so Su Xiaofan has no way to spend the money. What he most urgently wants now is to get the rare meteorite so that the repair value can be restored to a safe value.
According to Su Xiaofan's idea, repairing a physical body requires at least ten repair points.
The repairing method meridians starts at thirty points, and the cultivation of the Great Zhoutian Meridian requires one hundred repair points.
Therefore, without a repair value of more than 100 points, Su Xiaofan always felt uneasy.
"No, if you don't want to hear it, I have to talk to you."
The company is owned by two people, and Su Xiaofan is the major shareholder. Zheng Dagang feels that the brothers still need to settle accounts, otherwise the deal will not last long.
"This time when I went to Yanjing, I went to negotiate with all four major auction houses."
Zheng Dagang said: "The conditions given by Harvest Harvest are the best. The starting bids for the eight famous ancient spring treasures range from 600,000 to 4 million, and the Zabzaya wooden bowl you took out was highly praised by the auction house.
High, the base price is set at 12 million, and they estimate it will fetch about 30 million."
"Okay, Brother Gang, as long as the auction doesn't fail, we can get at least 30 to 40 million yuan."
Hearing Zheng Dagang's words, Su Xiaofan's eyes lit up. For the reason of cheating his son's father, Su Xiaofan has always flaunted that he was born in a poor family. Although he has not been so eager to make money recently, it does not mean that he does not like money.
"How much is the commission?" Su Xiaofan asked.
"The auction house charges 4%, which includes the early publicity. As for the tax, the buyer pays it. After the item is sold, after deducting the 4%, it is all ours."
The reason why Zheng Dagang stayed in Yanjing for more than a week was mainly to discuss commissions with various auction houses. Four percent was already the lowest price he could get.
In fact, the commission of 4% of the transaction ratio is indeed relatively low.
Even if Uncle Jing goes to negotiate, he can only lower the price by 0.5 points at most. This is also because the ancient spring and the royal tribute wooden bowl that Zheng Dagang took out are genuine, and the total transaction price will be very high, so the auction house will agree to charge
Such a low commission.
"The filming starts in mid-September, and there is still more than a month and a half left. I have been given two invitations to enter. Will you go then?"
Zheng Dagang looked at Su Xiaofan. Su Xiaofan kept shouting about getting rich. He was really not sure whether Su Xiaofan was willing to go.
"Go, go and learn a lot, why don't you go? Others don't know that those coins and wooden bowls are ours."
Su Xiaofan was still very curious about high-end auctions. He often saw auctioneers on TV selling thousands of dollars, so he was naturally willing to have the opportunity to experience it live.
"Brother Gang, do you think we can pretend to be buyers and raise the price of the antiques and wooden bowls?" Su Xiaofan rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
"Don't do it. We are not professional. If we don't raise the price, you can buy it back by yourself. The commission will not be cheap."
Zheng Dagang waved his hands repeatedly and said: "There are also professionals in pawnbroking. They have long-term cooperation with the auction house and are relatively experienced. After all, the more expensive the thing is, the more commission the auction house will get. We don't need to worry about this."
"Okay." Su Xiaofan was a little regretful, but he also knew that what Brother Gang said was reasonable. If he couldn't raise the price for himself, he could also take pictures of other things. Then he would definitely be able to experience it.
When sending Brother Gang off, Su Xiaofan put fifty kilograms of python meat on his car. He didn't know if this tonic food would have any harm to ordinary people, so he specifically told Brother Gang to cook less for each meal.
…
In the next few days, Su Xiaofan was extremely busy. First, he took more than 500 kilograms of python meat to dry and make jerky, and finally made 300 kilograms of finished product.
Seeing the little tiger cat's food intake, Su Xiaofan really felt a little distressed. It can now eat two to three kilograms of meat in one meal. Three hundred kilograms is the food intake for three months, but converted into money, that is several million.
Of course, the little tiger cat can also eat ordinary meat, but before Uncle Jing left, he told Su Xiaofan to try to let the little tiger cat eat python meat as much as possible during its infancy. Even if it eats more than two thousand kilograms, it will be worth it.
After preparing food for the tiger cat, Su Xiaofan stared at the new house that had been started for two days.
When the city was under lockdown, Su Xiaofan called Brother Jun and added another three million to the previous decoration budget, but required that it must be completed within two months.
Before, he was short of money and accepted the favor from Brother Jun, but now that he has money in his account, Su Xiaofan doesn't mind spending a little more, as long as the project can be completed ahead of schedule with quality and quantity guaranteed.
With the support of banknote capabilities, the construction period progressed very quickly. The decoration company sent two designers to follow the on-site construction.
It only took a week to start the work, and the entire water and electricity had been completed. The designer had reserved the height of the ceramic tiles, and even the cabinets and furniture were ordered. The efficiency was not very high.
Su Xiaofan had Brother Gang keeping an eye on the decoration matter. After calling Tong Dongjie, he decided to set off for Dajiang Province.
According to the original plan, Su Xiaofan wanted to fly there, and Tong Dongjie also arranged vehicles, drivers and tour guides in DJI Province.
However, since he had to take the little tiger cat with him, he had no choice but to exchange his own Raptor with Brother Gang.
Fortunately, the pickup truck Su Xiaofan bought can adapt to various extreme terrains and can be driven to DJI for personal use. The modified compartment at the back can also store more supplies.
Hundreds of kilograms of dried meat, more than a dozen barrels of mineral water, and some miscellaneous supplies were not even loaded into half of the carriage. Su Xiaofan could also fold down the modified rear seats and use them as a bed.
"I once wanted to travel to the ends of the world with my sword and see the prosperity of the world..."
A person, a cat, and a car are driving on the Gobi Desert, looking at the extremely desolate desert.
Su Xiaofan felt that if he had another sharp sword, he would really be able to find some artistic conception of traveling to the end of the world with the sword.
Chapter completed!
