"No?" When he heard that Zhao Jun wanted to worry about his father and his wife asking for an extra five hundred yuan, Zheng Donghai was not happy at that time and said to Zhao Jun angrily: "Don't you say that one code will equal one code?"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this, looked at the Zheng family and his son, and said: "I said one code is one code, you can take it or not take it? What's that? If it doesn't work, I'll make a counter-offer?"
"That's right!" Jie Chen said from the side: "How much will it cost you?"
Zheng Donghai was speechless, Zheng Xuekun raised his hand and pulled him back, then rushed towards Zhao Jun, Xie Chen clasped his fists, and said: "Two little brothers, let's, we don't know each other if we don't fight, you said ten thousand, then we
Just thirteen thousand."
For eleven large skins, the total price was increased by RMB 500, with an average increase of less than RMB 50 per piece. Although Zheng Xuekun earned less than before, he still made some money.
At this time, Zheng Xuekun could probably figure out why Zhao Jun added the five hundred. He said that his mother was a widow. No wonder he wanted to hit him with the handle of a gun just now.
Hearing what Zheng Xuekun said, Zhao Jun showed neither happiness nor displeasure on his face. He just waved his hand and said, "Okay, Master Zheng, you can take the blame."
"Son, you shake it off and roll it up like that." Zheng Xuekun arranged for Zheng Donghai to collect the skin, while he got the money for Zhao Jun.
After all the leathers have been inspected, Zhao Jun also has to check the money. But 13,000, even if there are thirteen stacks of money, it will take a while for Zhao Jun and Jie Chen to check. Moreover, these two people are clumsy, so checking the money is slow and difficult.
Effortless.
"I wish my mother was here." When checking the money, Zhao Jun thought of Wang Meilan. When he thought of Wang Meilan, Zhao Jun thought of the leopard skin at home.
"Master Zheng." Zhao Jun called Zheng Xuekun and said, "Well... I still have a leopard skin at home, do you want to take it?"
"This..." Zheng Xuekun was a little moved when he heard this. Although he had already received a leopard skin, he planned to follow Li Dayong's instructions and transfer the leopard skin that Zhao Youcai sold him to the previous boss so that he could collect gold and silver.
Full house.
Besides that boss, there are other bosses who also want leopard skins. If they collect another one, they can still make a profit.
"Master Zheng." Zhao Jun threw the checked money into the box that originally contained the mink skins, and then said to Zheng Xuekun: "Let's get in the car and go to my house to look at the skins. After that, we'll have dinner at home. In the evening.
If you are willing to leave, we will drive you there."
"I..." Zheng Xuekun was a little undecided. He wanted to make this money because bear bile and mink skins all have market prices, but leopard skins do not. It all depends on how to fool the big boss.
Seeing that Zheng Xuekun was a little moved, Zhao Jun immediately grabbed his arm and dragged Zheng Xuekun to the passenger seat. As he got into the car, he said to Jie Chen: "Little brother, you and that brother throw their bikes behind."
Zheng Xuekun, Zheng Donghai: "..."
About fifteen minutes later, the car stopped outside Zhao Jun's courtyard.
As soon as the car horn sounded, Wang Meilan came out of the house as usual.
The four of them got out of the car, Zheng Xuekun holding his pocket containing money, and Zheng Donghai carrying the big bag containing leather.
Amidst the barking of dogs, Zhao Jun invited Zheng Xuekun into the courtyard and met Wang Meilan halfway.
It was almost four o'clock at this time, and it was already dark in the mountain village. Wang Meilan held a flashlight in her hand and used the beam to see clearly the appearance of the visitor. At this time, Zhao Jun also said to her: "Mom, Master Zheng is here."
"Ouch." Wang Meilan's cheeks twitched slightly, the corner of her mouth twitched, showing a strange smile, and said: "Here comes the one who makes big money."
Zheng Xuekun: "..."
Zhao Jun and Jie Chen tried hard not to laugh out loud, but Zheng Donghai thought Wang Meilan was praising their father and son, so he immediately laughed.
Zheng Xuekun was speechless. If he hadn't been such a son, Zheng Xuekun wouldn't have brought Zheng Donghai out regardless of what he said.
"Sister-in-law." Knowing that Wang Meilan was not a widow, Zheng Xuekun did not call her eldest sister, eldest sister or something like that, but directly called her eldest sister-in-law, bowed slightly and nodded in greeting.
Not wanting to hit the smiling person, especially if they were guests, Wang Meilan greeted the two of them into the house.
Upon entering Zhao Jun's house, the Zheng family and his son were startled by the grand scene.
Outside the house, seven women, old and young, were busy working.
Wang Meilan had nothing to do at home today. She cleaned up the big vat outside, took out some of the messy meat, and prepared to make dumplings. She said it was Zhao Jun and Zhao Youcai who would go up to the mountain to fight together tomorrow. Otherwise, they would not be able to pretend to be there if they made room.
The wild boar and roe deer meat that the two of us brought back.
In this way, the Zhao family eats making dumplings today. The roe deer meat is chopped and stuffed with carrots to make steamed dumplings. The wild boar meat is stuffed with green onions. They make dumplings today and get up to make dumplings tomorrow morning.
When the five people came in, Zhao Chun, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan, Hu Sanmei, Xie Sunshi, and Liu Lanying were all busy in the outer room.
So far, Liu Lanying is not leaving for the time being. According to Xie Zhong, he felt sorry for Xiao Lingdang and asked his wife to take care of the child here until Zhang Yuanmin was discharged from the hospital before leaving.
Liu Lanying had no objection to this and happened to stay with her mother-in-law to undergo labor reform.
Seven women roll out dough, make dumplings, and set up curtains. This scene is quite common in the Northeast. When winter comes, the neighbors will come to help anyone making frozen dumplings. However, judging by the posture, the Zhao family does not look like they are making frozen dumplings.
There is a sense of excitement about celebrating the New Year.
"Master Zheng, come in and sit for a while!" Wang Meilan let Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai into the west room. Wang Qiang, who was looking after the children with the old lady in the east room, heard Wang Meilan's voice entertaining guests, so he got up and went to the west room.
"Huh...wu..." Seeing the stranger come in, the little lynx standing on the kang hunched over and made a protest sound to Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai.
Although this little guy is young, he still knows how to look after his family. Upon seeing this, Wang Meilan stretched out her hand, and the little lynx lifted itself up and put a pair of front paws on Wang Meilan's wrist.
Wang Meilan held the little lynx in her arms with her other hand. Seeing this scene, Zheng Xuekun and Zheng Donghai's eyes widened.
"Sister-in-law, what is this?" Zheng Xuekun looked at the little lynx in Wang Meilan's arms in surprise and asked, "Isn't this a cat?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Dad!" At this time, Zheng Donghai pulled Zheng Xuekun and pointed towards the kang.
Zheng Xuekun followed what Zheng Donghai wanted and saw a pine box in the kang. The pine box was covered with a cloth sheet. At this time, the cloth sheet was pushed open by a small head, revealing an animal like a puppy.
"Oh my god!" Zheng Xuekun recognized that this was not a puppy, but a small black bear.
"Mom." Zhao Jun took the little lynx from Wang Meilan's arms and said to her: "Bring the good leather from our house and show it to Master Zheng."
"Ah!" Wang Meilan knew that money was coming, but she seemed a little reluctant. When she walked out and met Wang Qiang at the door, Wang Meilan waved her hand back and said: "Qiangzi, we have a visitor, please help.
My nephew greeted me."
Wang Qiang agreed, and after entering the house, he scattered cigarettes for the Zheng family and his son, and sat on the kang to chat for a while.
Not long after, Zhao Chun and Wang Meilan came in one after another. Zhao Chun was serving tea to the guests, while Wang Meilan was holding a cloth bag roll in his hand and three cloth bag rolls under his arm.
"Ouch!" Zhao Jun then remembered that he not only had one leopard skin at home, but also three lynx skins.
"Come!" Wang Meilan sat down next to Zhao Jun, passed the cloth bag in her hand forward, and said: "This is soil... No, this is the skin of that leopard."
Zhao Jun took the roll of cloth bag, unfolded it, and took out the leopard skin.
The leopard skin was spread out on the table. Zheng Xuekun quickly put out the cigarette in his hand, then scolded Zheng Donghai, indicating that he would do the same.
After putting out the cigarette, Zheng Xuekun rubbed his hands and then picked up the leopard skin and looked at it repeatedly.
After checking, Zheng Xuekun looked at Zhao Jun in surprise and said: "There is no injury at all."
"Yeah!" Zhao Jun smiled and nodded after hearing this.
"Tsk!" Zheng Xuekun turned over the leather and rubbed it again. They say that the buyer is the one who picks the goods, but the leather was not damaged. Zheng Xuekun could only sigh softly and said: "The leopard's hair is white in winter. If it is golden, it will be better."
Better.”
Hearing what he said, Zhao Jun smiled again and said: "Master Zheng, why don't you say that leather boards are good in winter?"
The conversation between the two of them was almost exactly the same as when Zhao Youcai sold Zheng Xuekun's leopard skin.
At this time, Zheng Xuekun smiled faintly. He was about to refute when Wang Qiang said: "Master Zheng, don't pick that one. Such a good leather doesn't come with a second one."
Zheng Xuekun was startled. He felt something familiar when he heard Wang Qiang's words. After thinking for a while, he remembered. A few months ago, in this room, when he looked at the leopard skin, the family also told him the same thing.
It was said that there was no second one, but two of them appeared in succession in the past few days.
When Zheng Xuekun was thinking about how to bargain with Zhao Jun, he suddenly saw three cloth bag rolls placed on the kang by Wang Meilan.
"Sister-in-law!" Zheng Xuekun called Wang Meilan and asked, "What are you putting in those three bags?"
"This is the skin of a tiger cub." Zhao Jun reached back and took the longest cloth bag roll, opened it and took out a lynx skin.
That day, Zhao Jun took his dogs up the mountain and killed a litter of lynxes, including one large and two young. This is the skin of the female lynx.
The moment Zheng Xuekun stretched out his hands to take the lynx skin, he was suddenly stunned.
At this time, Zheng Xuekun seemed to have an arc flashing through his mind. He glanced at the lynx skin in his hand, then at the leopard skin on the table, and hurriedly asked Zhao Jun and his mother opposite: "These two skins
, I will take all the 20,000 yuan."
"Twenty thousand?" Wang Meilan frowned and said unhappily: "Our child's father sold it to you and the leather was torn, but he still paid 16,000."
"Fifteen thousand!" Zheng Xuekun corrected with a grimace: "That leather is just a bullet hole, about the same as this."
"Then I don't care." Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "Anyway, our skin is good."
"Sister-in-law, how much do you think you can sell it for?" Zheng Xuekun asked Wang Meilan to bid, but Wang Meilan blinked and said, "Take the thirty thousand yuan."
"How much?" Zheng Xuekun was shocked, but Wang Meilan pointed to the leopard skin on the kang table and added: "This one is 30,000. If you still want the tiger cub skin, let my son give you another calculation."
"This won't work." Zheng Xuekun raised the lynx skin slightly and said, "I'll pay four thousand yuan for this. It's a top-notch price."
Hearing Zheng Xuekun's words, Zhao Jun did not refute. In the autumn, he and Zhao Youcai shot a lynx and took two skins down the mountain to sell, each worth about three thousand.
The leather board is good in winter. Although it is the skin of a female lynx, it is of good quality. Four thousand is indeed a very high price.
But looking at Zheng Xuekun's appearance, Zhao Jun felt that this old boy was a little fishy.
"This is a leopard skin." At this time, Zheng Xuekun put the lynx skin on his lap, stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the leopard skin, and said to Wang Meilan: "I will give you 20,000 yuan, which is 5,000 yuan more than the one from my elder brother. This is
It’s also a sky-high price.”
At this point, Zheng Xuekun loosened the corner of the leopard skin and continued: "Sister-in-law, if you say yes, I will give you some money. If you say no, then we will leave."
"Then let's go!" Wang Meilan waved her hand at Zheng Xuekun, and then grabbed the leopard skin on the table.
Wang Meilan suddenly changed her face. Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, and the Zheng family were all stunned.
"If you don't take it away, I'll keep it for myself." Wang Meilan muttered as she rolled up the leather: "I'll use it as a mattress for my eldest grandson in the future."
As she spoke, Wang Meilan grabbed the rolled leopard skin with one hand, patted it with the other hand, and said, "It's so noisy."
Zheng Xuekun: "..."
Zheng Xuekun could use money to confuse Zhao Youcai, but he could not confuse Wang Meilan. In addition, he called Wang Meilan, and Wang Meilan was even less fond of him.
"Sister-in-law." Seeing that something was not going well, Zheng Xuekun tried to pull back his words. He leaned forward slightly and said to Wang Meilan, "Wouldn't it be a waste to give such a good thing to a child?"
After saying that, Zheng Xuekun smiled and said, "What if the child pees again?"
"That's none of your business." Wang Meilan said stiffly, "We're happy to do it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The leopard skin last time was given the reputation of "waiting to get rich" by Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai. At that time, it was sold for 8,800 yuan, which made Wang Meilan feel very distressed.
.The leather is now in perfect condition, and Wang Meilan likes it very much.
Zhao Jun took a deep look at Zheng Xuekun and said with a smile: "Master Zheng, if you really want it, you can give me another 30,000 yuan. If you finish a leopard and a tiger cub, you can take both skins."
"Son!" Wang Meilan heard this and looked at Zhao Jun reluctantly. Seeing that she was about to object, Zheng Xuekun hurriedly responded to Zhao Jun and said: "Little brother, then I will listen to you!"
"Dad!" Zheng Donghai on the side felt something was wrong. He was about to persuade Zheng Xuekun, but Zheng Xuekun slapped his finger between two ribs.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Xuekun took the bag containing the money and slapped a large pile of money on the table.
When the bag was deflated, thirty large stacks of unity were piled on the table.
But with so much money, Zhao Jun, Wang Meilan, and Wang Qiang on the other side all looked indifferent. This surprised Zheng Xuekun. He thought that Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, and Lin Xiangshun only had 16,000 yuan.
For money, just throw them away enough.
"Mom." Zhao Jun reached for the leopard skin scroll in Wang Meilan's hand and pulled it out of Wang Meilan's hand with a little force.
"Mom, check the money." Zhao Jun thought that money might weaken Wang Meilan's reluctance, and at the same time handed the leopard skin to Zheng Xuekun.
Seeing Zheng Xuekun put the leopard skin and lynx skin in his money pocket, Zhao Jun smiled and took the other two cloth bags on the kang and asked Zheng Xuekun: "Master Zheng, there are still two tiger cub skins here."
"I don't want those two." Zheng Xuekun raised his hand and declined with a smile: "I brought a lot of money when I came back, and I gave it to your family. Now I don't have any money, so I can't buy it even if I want to."
Zhao Jun smiled and stopped selling. After all, you can't buy or sell by force.
"Pah!" But at this moment, Wang Meilan threw the big dough stick in her hand on the kang table, raised her finger and pointed at Zheng Xuekun and said: "Get me another five hundred yuan!"
"Huh?" Zheng Xuekun was stunned and then heard Wang Meilan say: "If you are not happy, just give me the skin and take all the money."
"No?" Zheng Xuekun smiled and asked Wang Meilan: "What's the reason for that?"
Zheng Xuekun thought Wang Meilan was reluctant to part with the leopard skin, but at this moment Wang Meilan pointed at his nose and said: "I didn't recruit you, I didn't mess with you, you said I was a widow."
Zheng Xuekun: "..."
Damn!
There was a muffled sound outside the house, and Zhao Chun came in with a rolling pin. While they were talking in the inner room, those making dumplings in the outer room were quietly doing their work.
After listening to Wang Meilan's words, the women all rushed to the west room.
Zhao Chun came over first, pointed a rolling pin at Zheng Xuekun, and said, "What are you talking about?"
"What did you do..." Zheng Donghai saw Zhao Chun was about to take action, and his eyes immediately crossed, but then he almost poked him in the eye with a finger, and Hu Sanmei pointed at Zheng Donghai and yelled: "What are you looking at?"
"You idiot!" A loud shout came from the crowd, and Xie Sun held his fists in his hands and pushed forward. Fortunately, Liu Lanying and Jie Chen had quick hands and eyes, and held Xie Sun back to the left and right.
"What did you say about my second aunt?" Xu Chunyan pointed at Zheng Xuekun and said angrily: "If you say another damn thing, I'll scratch you into potato shreds!"
As soon as Xu Chunyan said this, Jin Xiaomei rolled up her sleeves vigorously.
Zheng Xuekun was frightened and hurriedly clasped his fists at Wang Meilan and apologized: "Sister-in-law, this is my fault. But because of this, I have already paid your family a thousand yuan. I gave your family five hundred to my eldest brother that day. Just today
When you come, I will give your son five hundred."
Wang Meilan heard this and turned to look at Zhao Jun. When Zhao Jun nodded, Wang Meilan twitched the corner of her mouth, raised her hand to stop Zhao Chun and others who were about to step forward, and said: "Okay, okay, let's go make dumplings."
Wang Meilan gave the order and everyone retreated.
"Master Zheng." Wang Meilan took a wad of money and said to Zheng Xuekun: "I will make dumplings at home tonight. You two can eat them here."
"We don't want to eat, sister-in-law." Zheng Xuekun put his hand on the table and said, "check the money and we'll leave."
"Are you leaving now?" Zhao Jun said, "Then I'll drive you there."
"I won't bother you anymore." Zheng Xuekun said, "You have a flashlight at home. Can you sell us one? It's dark today..."
"Come on!" Wang Meilan, who was checking the money, stopped, took the flashlight she had just used, put it on the kang table, and said grandly: "This is for you, you can take it."
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Zheng Xuekun did not refuse. After Wang Meilan counted the money, Zheng Xuekun picked up Zheng Donghai and left.
As the hosts, Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang escorted them out of the hospital, said goodbye to each other, and watched the Zheng family and his son leave.
"Great nephew." After the two people left, Wang Qiang said to Zhao Jun: "The father didn't hold his shit well."
"Ignore him, uncle." Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "It has nothing to do with us, we just don't care."
