The whole mountain is my hunting ground Chapter 123. The Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce went on a shopping spree and the leader Zhao went from being complacent to breaking his guard.
Chapter 123. The Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce went on a shopping spree and the leader Zhao went from being complacent to breaking his guard.
After Li Liangwei left, Zhou Chunming also said goodbye to Chu Anmin. It was already past two o'clock, and they still had to go back to the forest area.
Chu Anmin did not keep him and Zhao Jun anymore, but when Zhao Jun went downstairs, Chu Anmin followed them.
"Chu Bureau, how can we let you send us off?" Zhou Chunming was flattered and stopped quickly.
Chu Anmin gestured downstairs. Although Zhou Chunming didn't know what he was going to do, he went down to the first floor.
After arriving on the first floor, Chu Anmin waved his hand to Zhao Jun, and Zhou Chunming followed him.
The three of them came to the reading room. Chu Anmin gathered together the "RM Daily" and "Reference News" for the first half of this year, and then handed them to Zhao Jun with his own hands.
"Go back and study hard, study hard." Chu Anmin told Zhao Jun. His expression and tone were the same as those of high school teachers who expect the top students in the class to pass the exam.
Zhao Jun secretly complained in his heart, he had not studied for many years, and he was still asked to read a newspaper? This newspaper had some rare words, and he could not recognize all of them. It was really embarrassing.
But since he was the leader, Zhao Jun not only had to raise his hands to take the newspaper, but also thanked Chu Anmin.
Chu Anmin raised his hand and patted Zhao Jun's shoulder twice. It felt like he had high hopes for Zhao Jun. Zhou Chunming looked on with envy.
After coming out of the Forestry Bureau office building, Zhao Jun and Zhou Chunming got in the car, and Han Genliang started the jeep and headed back.
When they returned to Yong'an Forest District, it was almost five o'clock and it was dark outside.
"Go directly to Yong'an." Zhou Chunming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said to Han Genliang: "Send Zhao Jun home first, and then we will go home."
It's now time, and Zhou Chunming doesn't plan to go back to the forest farm anymore. He wants to go home and stay overnight to see his grandson.
Twenty minutes later, the jeep parked outside Zhao's courtyard.
Every time he came to Zhao's house, Zhou Chunming would take a second look when he saw red lanterns and thousands of wintersweet flowers.
"Uncle." Zhao Jun didn't rush to get out of the car. He sat in the back seat and greeted Zhou Chunming in front of him, saying, "Come in, we're home now."
"That's incredible." Zhou Chunming refused: "Brother Han and I, we went home directly."
Han Genliang's home is also in Yongshengtun, and his home and Zhou's home are in the front and back yards.
"Brother Han is coming too." Zhao Jun invited Han Genliang and said, "We will eat at my house tonight."
"It's terrible, it's terrible." Zhou Chunming refused repeatedly. One of him wanted to go home to see his grandson, and the other was to come to his in-laws. It would be a bad idea to be empty-handed.
While they were talking, Wang Meilan came out of the house after hearing the dog barking.
Through the large lantern hanging on the courtyard door, Wang Meilan saw a jeep parked outside the courtyard. She was slightly startled, and then quickly walked out.
Seeing his mother-in-law coming out, Zhou Chunming had to say hello. He hurriedly got out of the car and shouted: "My mother-in-law!"
"Oh, it's my in-laws!" Wang Meilan didn't expect Zhou Chunming to come down the mountain. Seeing her son coming down from behind, Wang Meilan asked: "In-laws, what are you doing today?"
"My mother-in-law." Zhou Chunming smiled and said to Wang Meilan, "Is your Xiaojun too proud of us?"
"What's going on again?" Wang Meilan suddenly beamed when she heard this.
"Mom." Zhao Jun stopped the conversation and called to Wang Meilan: "It's so cold outside. Please let me and Brother Han come in."
Zhou Chunming got off the bus just now, and Han Genliang got off the bus shortly after. He wanted to say hello to Wang Meilan, but he didn't strike up a conversation.
"Don't do this." Wang Meilan hurriedly greeted Zhou Chunming and said: "My dear, please go inside to warm up quickly. If it's warm, we'll eat here at night."
"No, my mother-in-law." Zhou Chunming declined, but he couldn't resist Wang Meilan's enthusiasm. At this time, Wang Qiang also came out of the house and forced Zhou Chunming into the Zhao family.
Zhou Chunming found that every time he came to Zhao's house, their house was full of people.
The man from work hasn't come back yet, and the outbuilding and the east room are full of people.
Especially in the outhouse, Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan, Xie Sun and others were very busy.
In the big pot, strips of dried sweet potatoes were bubbling with oil and making a sizzling sound when fried.
Today, Wang Meilan and her party returned home with a full load. When they left, the 2,500 yuan in their money pocket was not enough. Later, Wang Meilan took out more than 300 yuan from his pocket.
The reason they spent so much money was that they not only received sixty-two fox skins, but also twenty-five gray skins.
We also collected 186 jins of dried small fish, 75 jins of dried pineapples, 163 jins of dried shredded beans, 182 jins of dried eggplants, and 76 jins of dried cucumbers.
220 jins of dried potatoes, 285 jins of dried sweet potatoes, 242 jins of dried carrots, 478 jins of dried green radishes, 36 jins of mountain fungus, and 58 jins of hazelnuts
Mushrooms, one hundred and twenty-two pounds of Yuan mushrooms, and one hundred and eighty-six pounds of Yuhuang mushrooms.
It turned out that the Zhao family had almost all of these things, but they had run out of food. The only thing was dried sweet potatoes, which the Zhao family did not have before.
Going up from the roots of Xishan Mountain, there is a piece of yellow sandy land on the south slope, where every year the people of Xishantun plant a lot of sweet potatoes.
After the autumn harvest, they pick big and good sweet potatoes and bury them in the cellar, saving them for takeout during the Chinese New Year.
For those small sweet potatoes and those with irregular shapes, Xishantun people peel them, cut them into strips, steam them in a pot, and then dry them in the sun.
When eating, soak the dried sweet potatoes in clean water, scald them in boiling water, put them in the pot and eat them as soon as the heat comes out.
The steamed dried sweet potatoes are sweet on the outside and delicious on the inside.
For example, during the Chinese New Year, every household in Yong'an Tun will buy frozen pears and frozen persimmons. However, the poor people in Xishan Tun will use dried sweet potatoes as snacks for their children during the Chinese New Year.
But after a raid by the Zhao Chamber of Commerce, the children in Xishantun will no longer be able to eat dried sweet potatoes during the Chinese New Year this year. But now that they are rich, they should be able to eat frozen pears and frozen persimmons.
People in Xishantun eat dried sweet potatoes steamed, but Wang Meilan thinks that is not delicious.
Wang Meilan grabbed a few handfuls of the dried sweet potatoes she brought back and soaked them in water. After soaking, she scalded them with hot water, took them out and drained them.
Since it is impossible to drain the water, put it directly into the cold oil pan. As the oil temperature rises, fry the water on the surface of the dried sweet potatoes.
The sweet potatoes became more fragrant when fried, and even Zhou Chunming couldn't help but eat a few more.
"In-laws." Wang Meilan brought the brewed sweet potatoes to Zhou Chunming, and then said with a smile: "I harvested a lot of these sweet potatoes to dry today. I will give you a few kilograms before you go home. I'll give it to you when you're done."
My biological mother gave it to my eldest grandson."
"Well, well, okay!" Zhou Chunming was not polite, because this thing tasted really good.
"Han!" At this time, Wang Meilan handed Han Genliang tea and warned: "You should also eat more, and it will feel like home here."
"Yeah, Auntie." Han Genliang smiled and asked casually: "Is this dried sweet potato sold in Xishantun?"
"Yes." Wang Meilan smiled and said: "I went today, but I didn't go."
"What's going on, Mom?" Zhao Jun felt something was wrong when he heard it, and asked hurriedly: "Aren't you going to collect the skins? What else did you buy?"
"Oops." Wang Meilan raised her hand and gestured out the window, saying: "Bean shreds, dried eggplant, a mess, weighing about two thousand kilograms."
"My mother-in-law, what are you doing?" Zhou Chunming was startled. He asked Wang Meilan, "How can you sell these for money?"
Zhou Chunming heard Zhao Chun say that her mother wanted to do business, but he never expected that Wang Meilan would accept everything.
This couldn't help but remind Zhou Chunming that Hu Sanmei once told him that some people in the village said that Wang Meilan had the style of a ZCJ-level wealthy wife, and her prodigality was no less than that of Wang Dashang in his heyday.
Zhao Jun looked at his mother and sighed silently. The people in Xishantun had never seen money, so they sold everything.
Northeastern people store autumn vegetables and eat dried vegetables for five to five months in winter. They start from storing autumn vegetables in October and eat them until around the Qingming Festival of the next year before they can get some wild vegetables.
The people in Xishantun have sold no dried vegetables. When the Chinese New Year is over, each family’s sauerkraut and cabbage will be gone, and they will no longer be able to eat dried vegetables.
Especially dried green radish, which is soaked and used to mix with pickles. People in Xishantun even sell these. After the New Year, they eat silly porridge and big pancakes. Not only do they have no vegetables, they don’t even have pickles.
But it’s really not Wang Meilan’s fault. The people in Xishantun looked at the money today and their eyes turned red. They brought dried vegetables from their homes one by one in exchange for money. Wang Meilan couldn’t help but accept it.
"If you don't sell it, how much money will you get from selling it?" Faced with the question from her in-laws, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "We will keep it for our own family."
With that said, Wang Meilan raised her finger and pointed at Zhao Jun and said: "In the spring of next year, Zhao Jun, Baoyu and the others will be doing things. Won't there be food here?"
"Ah..." After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhou Chunming nodded. This was a good reason.
At this time, there were dogs barking outside the house, but it was Zhao Youcai and others who were at work who came back.
Zhao Youcai entered the courtyard and wanted to get close to Erhei, but Wang Meilan ordered Li Dayong to call him back.
Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong and others were chatting with Zhou Chunming, and they inevitably asked what Zhou Chunming was doing with Zhao Jun on this day.
Zhou Chunming did not hide it, but tucked it in and told him again what happened after he went to the Forestry Bureau today.
After entering the house, he had already told Wang Meilan, Wang Qiang and others. At this time, Zhou Chunming started talking again. Wang Meilan, who was directing the dinner preparation in the outer room, couldn't help but come to the door again.
Her son was so proud of her. After being on TV, he had to appear in newspapers, and when interviewed by newspapers, Zhao Jun's answers were so perfect.
This made Wang Meilan determined that after these two days of work, she must burn more paper on the graves of her parents and parents-in-law.
After listening to what Zhou Chunming said, Li Dayong, Li Dazhi and Lin Xiangshun praised Zhao Jun.
As Zhao Jun's father, Zhao Youcai praised his son's bad deeds, as if he was selling out his melons.
But at this moment, Zhao Youcai looked at Zhao Jun with a look of pride and approval in his eyes, as if he was silently saying to Zhao Jun: "You're doing well, boy."
"Huh?" Suddenly, Li Dazhi saw the "Reference News" placed on the edge of the kang. Usually the post office delivers newspapers to the forest farm, including "Shanhe Daily" and "RM Daily", but "Reference News" is not available.
"Where did this newspaper come from?" Li Dazhi asked curiously.
Now I am at my own in-laws' home, having a family dinner, and all my own people inside and outside the house.
Therefore, Zhou Chunming was not as serious as usual at the forest farm. He answered Li Dazhi's question very positively and said: "That was given to Zhao Jun by the Chu Bureau, so that Zhao Jun can study hard."
"Oh my God!" Li Dayong looked at Zhao Jun in surprise and said, "My eldest nephew has made a difference, and the Chu Bureau values us so much."
"Then what are you thinking about, Dayong." Zhou Chunming continued: "The Chu Bureau is doing great things to Zhao Jun."
At this point, he chuckled and said, "If Zhao Jun wants to have a word with Bureau Chu, that would be much easier than me."
Hearing what Zhou Chunming said, Zhao Youcai laughed and said humbly on behalf of his son: "How can that be possible, my in-laws. Among the forest farms under the Forestry Bureau, we are one of the best in scale, right? Then next year, if you go to the truck transportation company, you will have to adjust the bureau.
Go inside."
Zhao Youcai's words were not very similar to what Zhou Chunming said, but he was praising his own family, and he was praising his son.
But what Zhao Youcai didn't expect was that Zhou Chunming smiled and said to him: "Really, you don't even know about Youcai. As soon as he got there today, Bureau Chu asked Zhao Jun how his work was and if he needed anything, he could
By the way, I mentioned you."
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai was startled, holding the butt of Shi Linyan's cigarette in his hand, and asked, "What did you mention about me?"
"Your son mentioned you." Zhou Chunming said with a smile: "Xiaojun said that you went to Lingnan and were crushed to death by those big claws. The brigade even gave you a bonus and a certificate."
As soon as Zhou Chunming said this, Li Dazhi, Wang Qiang and others looked at Zhao Youcai in surprise. The fact that Zhao Youcai went to Lingnan to fight tigers is still in the confidentiality stage, and only a few people know about it.
"Oops." Zhao Youcai smiled, waved his hand, and said, "That's nothing, haha..."
What he said was nothing, but Zhao Youcai's face was filled with joy. When his little eyes looked at Zhao Jun, there was endless satisfaction in them.
This son is so good that he went to the director to praise himself, which made his face look big.
"Brother, what happened a while ago?" Li Dayong pretended not to know and asked Zhao Youcai, "Where are those three big claws? How did you fix them yourself?"
Zhao Jun twitched his lips when he heard this, but Zhao Youcai laughed and said: "What's the point? I'll knock them to death when I get there."
"Oops! Or you have to say he is my eldest brother!" Li Dayong gave Zhao Youcai a thumbs up, and then said: "Brother, isn't there another one?"
"That one got scared and ran away, haha..." Zhao Youcai said with a smile: "At that time, it jumped into the garden. Fortunately, it ran fast, otherwise it would have finished playing!"
Hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Zhou Chunming said: "Either the tiger father has no dog son, you two are so powerful."
"Haha..." Zhao Youcai couldn't be more proud.
But then, Zhou Chunming said again: "Chief Li of the Security Department said today that you are overqualified to be a cook, and you should be allowed to work as a camp guard with Zhao Jun."
"Huh?" Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up and he quickly winked at Li Dayong beside him.
The two brothers' years of tacit understanding made Li Dayong instantly understand what Zhao Youcai meant, and he said directly: "My eldest brother wants to work as a camp guard, that's fine, but that's what... there is no quota."
While talking, Li Dayong looked for Li Ruhai in the room.
At this time, Zhou Chunming said: "Isn't it just a matter of Xiaojun's word if there are any quotas? The Chu Bureau also asked him today. If there are not enough people, we will add a few more. After that, Xiaojun said
No need, just talk to these people now."
As soon as Zhou Chunming said this, the way Zhao Youcai looked at his son changed again.
