Chapter 187. Zhao Youcai: How much does the bear bile I shot cost?
Zhao Youcai's face was ashen and his teeth were clenched. It was only in front of Lin Xue that Zhao Youcai couldn't hold back from swearing.
"Cut it!" Zhao Youcai looked at Lin Xue, who shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, how can I dare to cut it?"
Zhao Youcai twitched the corner of his mouth and heard Lin Xue continue: "Brother-in-law, I tell you where to cut it, just cut it there."
When Zhao Youcai heard this, he turned to look at the people around him. Seeing Zhao Youcai looking at him, Li Dayong volunteered, "Brother, I'll do it."
"You can't." Zhao Youcai said, "This dog has just arrived home. After you groom it, it won't kiss you when it goes up the mountain."
As he said that, Zhao Youcai's eyes fell on Wang Qiang and said: "Qiangzi, do it."
"I don't want to do it." Wang Qiang twisted his body, put his hands in his sleeves, and said angrily: "Offending people... no, you let me do it if you offend dogs."
As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, the door of Zhao's house opened. Wang Meilan opened the door and shouted: "What's going on?"
Hearing Wang Meilan's voice, Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up and he turned around and shouted: "Lan, come here."
"What are you doing?" Wang Meilan walked over quickly and saw Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun pressing the red-haired hunting dog to the ground. The red-haired hunting dog kept whining. Wang Meilan pointed at the dog and said, "What's going on?
Are you going to bite someone?"
"Why is it biting?" Zhao Youcai said, "It's tail was even bitten off. Xiaoyun's mother told her to cut it off."
"Ah?" Wang Meilan was surprised and said: "How can you bite something like this? Who bit it?"
"That wicked thing!" Zhao Youcai pointed at the kennel under the east window. Seeing this, Wang Meilan hurriedly pressed down Zhao Youcai's arm and said, "Let's see how this dog is treated? Do we have anti-inflammatory injections for him?"
"
"Sister, take the medicine and find it first." Lin Xue followed Li Dazhi and called Wang Meilan "sister." After hearing what she said, Wang Meilan responded and was about to go back to the house, but was stopped by Zhao Youcai.
"Lan!" Zhao Youcai held Wang Meilan's arm with one hand and pointed at the red-haired hunting dog with the other, saying, "Cut off its tail."
"Ah?" Wang Meilan's eyes widened and she said in disbelief: "I guess?"
…
Five minutes later, the four legs of the red-haired hunting dog were tied to a log and ordered to be carried into Zhao's house.
At Zhao Youcai's urging, Wang Qiang tied the rag in the red-haired hunting dog's mouth.
Zhao Ling lit the candle, and Xie Sun held the cotton-padded jacket they had made before, and the large scissors used for cutting cloth were repeatedly grilled and sterilized over the candle fire.
Jin Xiaomei used a rolling pin to crush the pain-relieving tablets. Wang Meilan went into the house and found the heart-treating medicine given by Xing San the year before last. There were special materials in the medicine that were miraculous in relieving pain.
After Zhao Youcai took the medicine, he poured out more than ten pills and stuffed them into the red-haired hunting dog's mouth.
In the west room, Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen were eating meat sauce and making noodles with their hands. They didn't need to worry about the things outside.
Zhang Yuanmin watched the excitement at the door for a while, then returned to the edge of the Kang and sat down. He smiled and said to Li Baoyu, "Baoyu, minister, do you think that dog looks like Pei Yuanshao who robbed Zhao Yun's horse?"
Hearing what Zhang Yuanmin said, Li Baoyu and the ministers were all happy. Zhao Jun, who was slurping noodles, looked up at Zhang Yuanmin and thought, why did Brother Zhang just ask them but not me? But... Pei Yuanshao and Zhao Yunma are both.
who?
"Come on!" Wang Meilan rolled up her sleeves in the outer room. As soon as she raised her hand, Xie Sun handed the big scissors to Wang Meilan's hand.
Wang Meilan took the big scissors and came behind the red-haired hunting dog's butt.
At this time, Lin Xue squatted there, pointed at a blood-stained spot in the middle of the red-haired hunting dog's tail, and said: "Sister, cut off from here."
Wang Meilan glanced at it, then stretched her neck and looked at the red-haired hunting dog that rolled its eyes upwards, and said: "I'm saving you. I won't twist your tail. You'll die if you get infected."
The red-haired hunting dog probably didn't understand, but Wang Meilan didn't care about that. This is not abusing the dog, this is saving the dog!
As Wang Meilan scissored, the tied red-haired hunting dog's whole body tensed up, then started to tremble, and it kept whining from its strangled mouth.
At this time, Xu Chunyan and Yang Yufeng poured cold white water over it to clean the wound. When Lin Xue saw the wound on the half tail of the red-haired hunting dog, she said to Wang Meilan: "No, sister, you have to twist it up again."
.”
"Then why hang it?" Li Dazhi asked. Lin Xue raised her hand and gestured, saying: "This bone was bitten in the middle by a tiger. If the remaining half of the bone is not repaired, it will be restored when the wound is closed."
It has to rot inside."
…
This night, the red-haired hound suffered a lot.
By the time the red-haired dog's injury was treated and bandaged, it was already past eleven-thirty.
Li Dazhi and Jie Chen carried the red-haired hunting dog into the trunk of the Jiefang car, and then Jie Chen drove. Lin Xue and Li Dazhi, holding penicillin in hand, squeezed into the co-pilot, and the other diners walked home.
Since arriving in Yong'an Village, Jie Chen and Jie Sun have been living in the old lady's house, and the house they bought has been turned into a nursing home for the Zhao Family Dog Gang.
A green tiger with a scratched ear and a little bear nursing puppies after giving birth were all placed in the acquaintance home.
Now the red-haired hound came again. Jie Chen brought the green tiger to the west room to be with the bear and his wife, and then arranged the red-haired hound to go to the east room alone.
Just when Lin Xue was about to inject the red-haired hunting dog, Jie Chen suddenly thought of something and asked Lin Xue: "Sixth Aunt, are dogs allergic to penicillin?"
"Yes!" Lin Xue responded, and then poked the root of the red-haired hunting dog's tail with a needle.
…
After running around for a day, Zhao Jun was also tired. After all the diners left, he hurriedly washed up, lay down on the kang and fell asleep.
He slept until six o'clock the next morning, when he still heard coughing in the outer room, and Zhao Jun opened his eyes.
After getting up, Zhao Jun got dressed, got off the kang and walked out of the room. Wang Meilan, who was rolling out dough, saw him coming out and asked in a bad tone: "Did your dad wake you up from his cough?"
After hearing Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Youcai, who was pinching the folds of his buns next to him, looked at Zhao Jun. His little eyes seemed to be able to speak, conveying information to Zhao Jun.
"No, no." Zhao Jun said, "I woke up on my own."
Wang Meilan turned around and gave Zhao Youcai a fierce look. Zhao Youcai said unhappily: "Why are you looking at me like that? I cough, I am willing?"
"You don't know how to cover your coughs?" Wang Meilan asked, "You know how to cough and sneeze when you go up the mountain, but you don't know this?"
When stalking prey up the mountain, you must be silent. If you make any noise and startle the prey, it will run away.
However, most mountain runners run in the mountains in winter, resulting in poor trachea. When you want to cough or sneeze, and you really can't help it, take off your hat and cover your mouth and nose, so that you can even cough or sneeze.
, can also cover up most of the movement.
Zhao Youcai always told Wang Meilan this common sense when they were dating, so Wang Meilan was also considered an expert.
After listening to Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Youcai said angrily: "Do you think I'm siegeing you?"
After saying this, Zhao Youcai took the flat spoon used to spread stuffing, pointed at Zhao Jun and said, "Is he a wild boar? Or a roe deer?"
Zhao Youcai has been having a bad temper at home recently. He feels that after being transferred to the camp to guard the forest, it would be better to cook in the canteen.
When he was in the cafeteria, he still had one day off a week, but after being transferred to another position, he couldn't rest until Sunday.
As for going up the mountain, not counting today, he has been at home for eleven days. In these eleven days, Zhao Youcai only went up the mountain one day. And that day, he was busy chasing black tigers, but he didn't catch anything.
"I'll roll the rolling pin for you!" After hearing Zhao Youcai's words, Wang Meilan raised her rolling pin and gestured towards Zhao Youcai.
Wang Meilan was still angry. Zhao Youcai asked her to cut the dog's tail yesterday, which made Wang Meilan very unhappy.
It seemed that the couple was not very happy, but Zhao Jun was not going to interfere. Just when he was about to go back to the house and fold the quilt, he saw Zhao Youcai raised his head, tilted his chin towards him, and asked, "Are you at home today?"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled and said, "Dad, I'm not at home today."
"You're not at home, what are you doing?" Zhao Youcai frowned and asked, "You've been out for more than ten days, and you still haven't rested at home when you came back?"
"Um..." Zhao Jun hesitated and said, "After dinner, I will report the bill to my mother. After that, I will go to Yongsheng."
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai asked. Zhao Jun pointed outside the house and said, "Bring back those shrimps and stuff. I want to give some to my sister."
"Go." Before Zhao Youcai could say anything, Wang Meilan said, "Send some to your sister, and then get some to your father-in-law after you're done."
"Hey, Mom, I understand." As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Wang Meilan continued: "Son, it's the New Year's Eve next Wednesday, and our family hasn't prepared any New Year's goods yet."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this and said: "Mom, then I will drive you to the street?"
After saying this, Zhao Jun pointed out the window with a smile and said: "This time we have a big jeep at home. With our own car, I will take you into the city for a nice walk."
"It's not necessary to go into the city." Wang Meilan said: "Then go back and buy enough melon seeds, peanuts, candies and so on. What do I mean? You have nothing to do these days. You go up the mountain to give it to the wild boar.
The roe deer and all that have moved back."
"Ah... OK." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Mom, I understand. I will go into the mountains in the next two days to get the new year's goods."
Listening to the couple's chatter, Zhao Youcai had a bad heart and regretted that he should not have offended Wang Meilan just now.
But these days he worked at home and brought in revenue for the Chamber of Commerce. Zhao Youcai had a good temper. He didn't say anything soft in front of his son, he just kept his head wrapped in buns.
Half an hour later, the buns were out of the pot, and the family of three sat on the Kang in the west room to eat.
After a while, after dinner, Wang Meilan would make another pot, and just in time the two little girls got up to eat the second pot.
At this time, Zhao Jun took a bite of the bun, looked up at Wang Meilan, and said, "Mom, is it stuffed with pork?"
"Wild boar and green onions." Wang Meilan said so. Zhao Jun asked, "Did my uncle beat him?"
"Yeah!" Wang Meilan said: "Yesterday morning, your old uncle went up the mountain to beat a yellow-haired boy and a new year's sinker. When I came back at noon, I went to the small shop to find your Uncle Wang. After that, the two of them drove the sledge up and gave it to the two pigs.
Pull it back and we'll pick it up."
After hearing Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Youcai pinched her with his eyelids.
Wang Meilan didn't see it, but continued to say to Zhao Jun: "It's spring today, let's make bacon and pancakes tonight."
Today is February 4, 1988, the beginning of spring.
According to local custom, spring is eaten on the day of the beginning of spring.
The so-called spring nibbling means eating spring pancakes and nibbling radishes.
"Yeah, okay." Zhao Jun responded, then smiled and said: "My uncle can handle it now. He goes up the mountain in the morning and comes back at noon?"
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Meilan also laughed and said: "Your uncle went there on a motorcycle, which is not fast."
At this time, Zhao Youcai finally couldn't bear it anymore. As he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the buns, he said to Zhao Jun: "Teach me how to ride a motorcycle tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled and looked at Zhao Youcai without saying anything.
"What's going on?" Zhao Youcai's eyes widened, and Zhao Jun frowned and said, "Dad, you can't even ride a bicycle, can you ride a motorcycle?"
Strange to say!
Zhao Youcai can easily climb mountains and ridges, and his motor skills should be fine, but he just can't ride a bicycle.
It’s not like Zhao Youcai didn’t have the opportunity to learn. When he was eating big pot, the commune had two bicycles. When he wasn’t busy, young people used the commune’s bicycles to practice, and Zhao Youcai was no exception, but he just couldn’t ride well.
"Why not?" Zhao Youcai asked, "Your uncle can ride, but I can't?"
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan looked at each other. Wang Meilan was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Youcai and only gave Zhao Jun a wink.
There are so many things going on at home, who has time to argue with him all the time?
After dinner, Zhao Jun helped Wang Meilan clear the table. Zhao Youcai sat on the kang in the west room, smoking and drinking tea. Wang Meilan was making buns alone in the outside room.
At this time, Zhao Youcai didn't come to help, and Wang Meilan didn't call him, because Zhao Youcai should be on duty after eight o'clock, so let him be at ease for a while now.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! While Wang Meilan was making buns, Zhao Jun took the account book and sat on the four-legged and eight-pointed stool to make a brief account report to Wang Meilan.
What Zhao Jun was telling Wang Meilan at this time was the prices of various mountain products in Hebei, so that Wang Meilan would have a better idea.
As for dividends and profits, we can wait until the eight families sit together after dinner in the evening.
After listening to Zhao Jun talk about the prices of big leather, gray leather, and yellow leaves, Wang Meilan said: "That's all for these things."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said, "The gray skin and yellow leaves are not worth much, so what... the big skin is okay."
"Well, it's not good." Wang Meilan responded, and then Zhao Jun said: "Mom, do you remember that Shi Baofeng, you can't sell us those two white mink skins?"
"Why don't you remember? I spent so much money to collect it, why can't I remember it?" Wang Meilan said: "Son, if you don't tell me, what else does mom want to ask you? How much did those two pieces of leather cost?"
"Mom, guess what." Zhao Jun wanted to surprise Wang Meilan. Wang Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Ten thousand?"
After Wang Meilan finished speaking, she saw Zhao Jun shaking his head and guessed: "Twelve thousand?"
Zhao Jun still shook his head, but then gave the answer: "Eighteen thousand."
"Ouch." Wang Meilan had seen money before. After being surprised for a moment, she sighed: "This stuff is good, but it's just too little."
"It's not that good." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Mom, do we have anything more valuable than this?"
"What?" Wang Meilan asked curiously, and then heard Zhao Jun say: "Golden bear bile."
"How much does that thing cost?" Wang Meilan asked, and Zhao Jun said, "Five thousand."
"That's okay." Wang Meilan thought it was five thousand for a gold bear bile. Thinking about the time when she bought a mountain to sell bear bile, the copper bile cost only four thousand a pound, and the gold bile cost less than twenty taels.
Wang Meilan was quite satisfied with selling it for five thousand.
But the next second, Zhao Jun said: "Mom, I mean one yuan and five thousand, one to two and fifty thousand."
"What?" Wang Meilan was shocked, and then there was a "ding" in the west room.
"This is still the starting price..." Just as Zhao Jun said this to Wang Meilan, Zhao Youcai came out of the house, interrupted Zhao Jun, and asked: "How much do I charge for the bear bile?"
