Zhao Youcai made no secret of his dislike for Tao Sansheng. When Tao Sansheng said goodbye and left, Zhao Youcai stood up slightly, as if he was about to get off the bed.
At that time, Tao Sansheng followed his habit and said a polite word: "Uncle Zhao, please stay in the house and don't come out."
"Then please slow down." Zhao Youcai agreed without thinking. Tao Sansheng was stunned.
The guest said goodbye and left, and the host didn't even send him a gift. It was obvious that he didn't like him.
As soon as Tao Sansheng went out, the hunting dogs on both sides of the yard howled at him. Tao Sansheng felt secretly resentful and walked out of the yard quickly.
As the dog barked, Zhao Youcai knew that Tao Sansheng had gone far away. He reached for the small basket of tobacco leaves and prepared to roll one for himself.
It wasn't that Zhao couldn't afford to smoke Shilin, but that he had been busy for a long day and felt a little tired physically and mentally, so he wanted to smoke a strong leaf cigarette to refresh himself.
But Zhao Youcai had just put the rolled cigarette into his mouth, and before he could strike a match to light the cigarette, he heard another dog barking outside the house.
"What a day!" Zhao Youcai put down the cigarette he hadn't lit yet, got up and headed outside the house.
"Uncle Xu." Zhao Youcai went out and saw Xu Changlin standing at the door with one person. He hurriedly ran over to greet him.
"You are rich." Xu Changlin introduced the people around him to Zhao Youcai and said, "This is your Aunt Xu and her natal nephew."
"Ouch!" Zhao Youcai heard this and quickly shook hands with the man and said hello.
After welcoming the two people into the house, getting on the Kang, pouring tea, and rolling cigarettes, Zhao Youcai and the man Xu Changlin brought exchanged names.
This man is the child of old Mrs. Xu’s uncle and brother, and his name is Pang Yongliang.
"Brother Pang, you're not just like us, are you?" Zhao Youcai looked at Pang Yongliang, shook his head slightly, and said, "I don't think I've seen you before."
"Brother Zhao, I'm from Lingnan." Pang Yongliang said with a smile: "My family is from Yiqigangzi, Jiaohe."
"Yiqi Gangzi..." Zhao Youcai narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this place name.
"Why don't you go there?" At this time, Xu Changlin raised his hand and gestured to Zhao Youcai and said, "I remember what year it was? Your father took you there to hunt roe deer for others."
"Yeah." Zhao Youcai smiled faintly. How could he forget that place? It was at that Yiqi Post that Zhao Youcai and an old gunner learned to dig the meat from the inner side of the roe deer's thigh.
After exchanging a few words, Pang Yongliang took the shoulder bag on the side and took out the leather rolls one by one.
"Hey, gray skin!" Zhao Youcai took one look and knew that Pang Yongliang was the gray skin man.
Normally, when you go up the mountain, you just watch and fight.
However, due to different hunting methods, the main prey hunted are also different.
Like Dagouwei, they mainly deal with wild boars and bears. As for Daluowei, there are people like Wang Qiang who go into the mountains with guns during the day and mainly hunt wild boars and roe deer. And like Pang Yongliang, he gets up early and goes into the mountains to hunt squirrels and sand buffaloes.
chicken.
The prey is small and the target is small, so there are certain requirements for the hunter's marksmanship. Being able to kill gray-skinned and half-sanded chickens means that Pang Yongliang's marksmanship is good.
As for Zhao Youcai, he hunted dogs because he liked dogs and enjoyed the process of taking dogs to hunt in the mountains.
In terms of marksmanship, even Zhao Youcai a year ago was firmly in the top five in the entire Yong'an Forest District.
In the past, Zhao Youcai would hit anything for money, and he also knew about gray skin. He would unfold a piece of skin, smooth the hair with his hands, and rub the hair back and forth, turning it inside and outside and scanning twice. If there was something wrong, it would definitely not escape Zhao Youcai's eyes.
Fifteen gray skins, seven males and eight females, Zhao Youcai paid the bill directly to Pang Yongliang.
Now that the women are not at home and the accountant is acting as a tutor in the West Campus, Wang Meilan has handed over the financial power to Zhao Youcai, grabbing the accountant and cashier.
As for whether Zhao Youcai will be corrupt, Wang Meilan knows him very well. If it is his own family's money, Zhao Youcai will definitely find an opportunity to put it in his pocket. But if it is money collected by several people, then Zhao Youcai would rather suffer the loss himself than squander it.
One cent and one cent.
After Pang Yongliang took the money from Zhao Youcai, he didn't put it away in a hurry. Instead, he said to Zhao Youcai: "Brother Zhao, listen to my third uncle, your family still sells air guns?"
"Ah, sell it." Zhao Youcai nodded in agreement, and then saw Pang Yongliang find seven big knots from the money sold for the gray leather, put them on the table, and said: "Give me one."
It’s a good time these days. Buying a gun is like asking for a cigarette.
"Okay, Brother Pang." Zhao Youcai was not in a hurry to collect the money. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed out the window and said, "You and Uncle Xu, sit down while I go to the warehouse to get it for you."
"Yongliang." As soon as Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Xu Changlin said to Pang Yongliang: "Let's go, pick one yourself."
Xu Changlin didn't know where Zhao Jun got a batch of air guns, but the old man heard from someone that the quality of the guns was excellent and they were all new guns.
Since it is a new gun, what else is there to choose from?
Xu Changlin said this just because he wanted Pang Yongliang to go out with him. Because on the table against the wall, there were yellow leaves that Zhao Youcai collected this afternoon.
A pile of yellow leaf tubes were piled up there. Zhao Youcai left the house and left them alone. If the Zhao family lost count later, it would be easy for them to misunderstand.
After listening to Xu Changlin's words, Pang Yongliang stood up subconsciously, but just now his eyes had been staring at the two semi-automatic rifles hanging on the wall of Zhao's house.
Who doesn't love guns when hunting around people?
What's more, the two new guns were hanging there so brightly that not to mention Pang Yongliang, even Xu Changlin took a few more glances.
The three of them came out of the house and went to the warehouse. Zhao Youcai opened a box containing the air gun, then called to Pang Yongliang: "Brother Pang, you can choose it yourself."
This box of guns is almost sold, and there are four air guns in it.
Airsoft is also a gun.
Pang Yongliang and Xu Changlin both took action, each holding an air rifle in their hands.
"That's great!" Xu Changlin raised the gun slightly and said to Zhao Youcai: "If I had this gun when I was young, I could kill the gray dog in the mountains."
"Haha..." Zhao Youcai and Pang Yongliang laughed in joy. What Xu Changlin just said was a unique way of bragging against the besiegers.
"Oh, I'm old!" Xu Changlin shook his head, bent down and gently put the gun back into the box, then stood up and said to Zhao Youcai and Pang Yongliang: "You guys, while you are young and can walk and pedal, you have to go up the mountain more.
.If you don’t get old, just look at others.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Pang Yongliang responded with a smile, but Zhao Youcai took Xu Changlin's words to heart.
After Pang Yongliang selected an air rifle tree, he and Xu Changlin left.
Zhao Youcai returned to the house, took the teapot they had used, and went to the outhouse to pour the remaining tea into the swill bucket.
After doing this, Zhao Youcai sighed heavily.
"Woof woof woof..."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
Suddenly, a fierce barking of a dog came to Zhao Youcai's ears, and Zhao Youcai became excited when he heard it.
It wasn't that Leng Buding was taken aback, but Zhao Youcai was exhausted mentally and physically from the day's reception of guests.
If a dog barks like this outside, it must be a stranger. If it is a stranger, it means he is here to sell something.
This required him, Zhao Youcai, to receive him again.
"Alas!" With a heavy sigh, Zhao Youcai put down the teapot and pushed the door open.
But as soon as he came out of the house, Zhao Youcai's face instantly darkened.
Those who come are not strangers, but familiar people.
It's Wang Qiang.
But at this time, Wang Qiang was dragging two roe deer. He pulled one of the roe deer's legs, and the other roe deer rode on the head of the roe deer. Then he tied the two roe deer together with a rope.
"Brother-in-law." Wang Qiang said hello to Zhao Youcai, and saw Zhao Youcai staring at him with a gloomy face and asked, "What have you been doing?"
"I'll buy two roe deer." Wang Qiang said with a smile: "Let's pick up a small one and eat it, and then take the big one to Xiao Chen's house."
Zhao Jun will set off tomorrow and will first stop at Xie Zhong's house. After bringing something for Zhao Weipeng, he also needs to get something for Jie Chen.
"Where did you buy it?" Zhao Youcai asked him, "Who did you buy it from?"
"I'm at the market..." Wang Qiang just started, but was interrupted by Zhao Youcai, who pointed at the roe deer and said, "Who are you fooling? This roe deer is not even cold."
As he said that, Zhao Youcai stepped forward and pulled up the roe deer's leg. He glanced at the opening of the knife, flicked the roe deer's leg, and said angrily: "It's not freezing at all! Aren't you going up the mountain?"
"Hehehehe..." Wang Qiang smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, you have caught up with Sun Wukong, you have a sharp eye. I sent the gun home along the way, and I didn't hide it from you!"
"Go away!" Although Zhao Youcai scolded Wang Qiang like this, what he was thinking in his heart was: If he can go, so can I.
"Stop scolding me, brother-in-law." Although he was scolded by Zhao Youcai, Wang Qiang was not angry at all. If it hadn't been for Zhao Youcai, how would he have had the chance to go up the mountain?
As he said that, Wang Qiang pointed at the little roe deer behind him and said: "The heart of the roe deer, as well as the liver and other things, I have stuffed them there. Feed the intestines and other things to the dog, and let's eat the stomach and other things after it is done."
Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at Wang Qiang, turned around and entered the house.
"Brother-in-law, this..." Wang Qiang called out to Zhao Youcai, saying that if the big roe deer is to be given away, it cannot be eaten. The little roe deer wants to eat it at night, so it must be eaten now.
Wang Qiang untied the two roe deer, pulled out the icy intestines from the young roe deer's chest, cut them into small pieces with a knife, and distributed them to the hunting dogs in the yard.
Then, Wang Qiang dragged the big roe deer to the backyard and buried it in the snow with a shovel.
After returning to the front yard of Zhao's house, Wang Qiang dragged the little roe deer into the house.
When he entered the house, Li Dayong, Li Dazhi, and Lin Xiangshun were all up. When the three of them opened the door and came out, they happened to see Wang Qiang dragging the roe deer into the house.
"Qiangzi, are you hunting the roe deer?" Li Dayong asked, and Wang Qiang responded with a smile. Looking at the stunned look of the three of them, Wang Qiang asked, "Are you three sleeping?"
"Oh!" Li Dazhi sighed and said, "I haven't slept well yet. The dogs outside are barking and barking every now and then."
"That's great!" Wang Qiang said with a smile, "That's because our business is good and we've made money, aren't you happy?"
In the east room, Zhao Youcai, who was sitting on the kang, glared at the door.
"Come, come!" At this time, Wang Qiang called to Li Dayong and others, saying: "Let's chop up the roe deer, have a meal in the evening, and make dumplings with the rest. Tomorrow morning, my eldest nephew and the others will leave. The dumplings on the horse, the dumplings on the horse.
Face!"
Hearing what Wang Qiang said, Li Dayong, Lin Xiangshun, and Jie Chen rolled up their arms and sleeves and started skinning the roe deer.
Li Dazhi had never done this, but he was watching the fun. Only Zhao Youcai was sitting on the kang in the east room, resting with his back against the kang cabinet.
The four people started to peel off the skin of the roe deer in a short while. Then, the four people used their knives to remove the meat and remove the bones.
The roe deer weighed forty-three or four kilograms when it was alive, but after cleaning it, twenty kilograms of meat came out. The bones were picked out very clean, and it was taken out directly to feed the dogs.
Then, the five people looked at each other in the outer room. Finally, Wang Qiang had the courage to walk into the east room, came to Zhao Youcai with his eyes closed, and asked: "Brother-in-law, are you asleep?"
Zhao Youcai slowly opened his eyes and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm thinking..." Wang Qiang hesitated for a moment and then changed his words: "If you want to sleep, how much more energy will you get if you lie down and sleep?"
"Why are you sleeping?" Zhao Youcai said angrily: "Look at your watch, what time is it?"
It was now three-thirty-five, and it was getting dark outside.
"Brother-in-law... then why don't you go to bed..." Wang Qiang said intermittently: "Just get up and cook."
"What?" Zhao Youcai sat up instantly, his little eyes widened, and asked Wang Qiang: "I'm cooking? I've been so tired all day, and I still have to cook for you?"
"Brother-in-law, what do you mean cooking for me?" Wang Qiang coaxed Zhao Youcai and said, "I'm not the only one eating. You cook for everyone."
At this point, Wang Qiang paused, and then whispered: "Besides, last night... wasn't it what you said? When you come back to help us, you have to grab us front and back. Help us collect skins and bear bile, that's it.
Also take care of the logistics and prepare the meals for me."
"Get lost!" Zhao Youcai yelled, raising his hand and waving towards the door.
Wang Qiang hurriedly exited the room. Although he often scolded Zhao Youcai, he grew up following Zhao Youcai. When Zhao Youcai got angry, Wang Qiang ran away in a hurry.
Seeing Wang Qiang being scolded, Li Dayong and others stopped talking.
At this moment, Zhao Youcai in the room sighed and said, "Oh my God!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying that, Zhao Youcai got off the kang, pulled on his shoes and walked outside the house.
When he came out of the house, Zhao Youcai looked at the roe deer meat that several people had collected, and then said, "Hurry up and boil the water."
"Hey! Hey!" Everyone heard the words and quickly agreed.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Li Dayong asked as Zhao Youcai was about to leave.
"Go up to the latrine." After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he opened the door and went out.
As soon as he left the house, the black tiger under the east window roared, causing Zhao Youcai to pause.
Immediately afterwards, the dogs of Zhao and Li's family began to bark, but judging from the anxious look of the dogs, it must be that their family members were back.
Sure enough, Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu appeared at the door. At noon today, Li Baoyu was also left to have a meal with the Liu family.
After dinner, Li Baoyu also took Liu Mei out for a walk. When he came back, he met Zhao Jun who was escorting Ma Ling home.
Darkness enveloped the mountain village, and red lanterns were hung high.
The east and west rooms of the Zhao family are as lively as ever.
After having enough food and wine, the diners went back to their homes. Everyone was tired after a busy day today.
"His dad!" Wang Meilan poured the foot-washing water, then called to Zhao Youcai: "Come, wash your feet."
The wife was given water to wash her feet, which was such a good treatment, but Zhao Youcai got up from the kang feebly.
"Thank you for your hard work today, old man!" Wang Meilan put the foot towel aside, then held Zhao Youcai in her hands and said: "He is a housekeeper and a cook, this guy..."
"I don't care what to do?" Zhao Youcai said angrily: "Look at your brother, he doesn't have anything to do all day long. The family is so busy, and yet he still screams and runs up the mountain."
Hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Wang Meilan secretly glared at Zhao Youcai. Would Wang Meilan be happy to talk about her brother?
But to rub a donkey, you have to rub it along its fur.
"How about you know who the person is." Wang Meilan smiled at Zhao Youcai and said, "You have already said that his old uncle is uncertain, or why don't you quit working in the cafeteria and come back to help us."
"I..." As soon as Zhao Youcai started to speak, he was interrupted by Wang Meilan, who just heard her say: "This family can't do it without you."
"No..." Zhao Youcai spoke again, but was interrupted by the sound of the door opening.
Zhao Jun came in with the account book and said directly to Wang Meilan: "Mom, this account is wrong!"
"Huh?" Wang Meilan stared at Zhao Youcai with her eyes wide open.
"Little calf..." Zhao Youcai raised his hand and pointed, but Zhao Jun brought the account book to him and asked, "Dad, this man is here to sell a yellow leaf."
"Yeah!" Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "Why, you won't accept one piece?"
"No, Dad." Zhao Jun shook his head and said, "There is probably something wrong with this person. We have to be more careful!"
