Chapter 198. The rich man’s family is no longer rich.
"Just make the wild boar meat as lean as possible. If you can't mix it with the stuffing, put more oil in it. Our family has been eating all the soybean oil from Heixiazizi for a while, and the market has a lot of soybean oil."
The family's money was tight and they couldn't buy a big fat pig for the New Year. Wang Meilan had no choice but to let her son go hunting in the mountains to cope with the New Year.
These words sounded a little bit sad.
At this time, two dogs barked outside the house. It was Wang Qiang's family, Jie Chen's mother and son, and the old lady.
Wang Qiang and Jie Chen were also dressed neatly, and they each carried a forestry-issued semi-automatic.
When everyone arrived, Zhao Jun gave an order, and Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, Li Baoyu, Jie Chen, and Li Ruhai followed him out.
They took out the armor from the warehouse and began to pierce the armor for the hunting dogs.
In the beginning, dogs are not used to wearing armor. At that time, they have to wear it every day to let them adapt to wearing armor. Otherwise, after going up the mountain, the hunting dog will be free from restraints. It will bite with its teeth and use its hind legs to push off the armor.
First.
Once the hunting dogs get used to wearing armor, it will be fine. And by then, when the dogs see their owner taking out the armor, they will know that the owner is going to take them up the mountain, and they will be very excited.
The hunting dog is smart, and it patiently allows people to put armor on itself. The moment the armor is put on and the chain is removed, the hunting dog happily runs out the door.
Hunting dogs are different from dogs that guard homes and courtyards. Hunting dogs that have gone up mountains and fought fierce beasts have a temperament that guard dogs don't have. They are not annoying. Even if they run out of the yard and look at passers-by, hunting dogs will not bark, they will just be happy.
After running around for two times, he consciously returned to the Jiefang vehicle, waiting to get on the vehicle and set off.
The little bear has already given birth, but he still has to feed the puppy Hei Pang. There are little black bears and little lynxes in the Zhao family's house. There is currently no place to put Hei Pang, so the little bear can only continue to stay at Jie's house.
In addition, the battle formation had been sparse for a long time, so Zhao Jun never took the little bear up the mountain.
There was also Qinghuo who was recovering from his injuries and was also left at home by Zhao Jun.
Not counting Zhao Youcai's four red dogs, Hua Niuniu was confined at home, and the remaining five dragons, three flowers, three blacks, and eleven hunting dogs accompanied Zhao's army on the expedition to Little Sequoia.
The number of times these eleven dogs ride in cars a year far exceeds 99% of the people in Yong'an Forest District.
After getting in the car, the hunting dogs skillfully found a place to lie down.
Zhao Jun stood on the back of the car and took the sack handed over by Li Baoyu. Seeing this, Black Tiger stood up and sniffed upwards.
"Go!" Zhao Jun drove away the black tiger and placed the sacks inside. There were three sacks in total, each filled with half a sack of seafood.
Zhao Jun pulled the tarpaulin, covered the three sacks, and then called Qinglong. Zhao Jun pointed at the tarpaulin and told Qinglong to watch it and not let other dogs pick it off.
Qinglong barked twice and accepted the errand. Qinglong was the most willing to take care of things. He used to stare at Huanglong as soon as he went out, and he also liked to help his master watch the prey.
Among the dog gang, it and the black dragon are the smallest, but it is equivalent to the companion of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Who among the other dogs dares to mess with it?
Zhao Jun got out of the trunk and waved to everyone to get in the car.
Zhao Jun drove the jeep in front, Wang Qiang sat in the passenger seat, and Zhang Yuanmin and Li Ruhai sat in the back seat.
Li Baoyu drove the Jiefang vehicle and Jie Chen took the co-pilot to escort the vehicle. They drove behind.
The two vehicles drove toward Yongxing Brigade, one behind the other.
This journey can be described as a familiar road.
Just after 10:30, two cars drove into the Yongxing No. 1 team.
The jeep first stopped at the entrance of the store, and Zhao Jun got out of the car and took Li Ruhai into the small store.
In the past year, Zhao Jun came to Yongxing several times, and the owner of the small shop recognized him at a glance.
Zhao Jun took out ten yuan and bought two cigarettes to welcome the Spring Festival. Zhao Youcai gave Li Wencai the cigarettes to buy.
When Zhao Jun left, he left Li Ruhai behind in the small shop.
Now is the slack time for farming, and there is little work for the production team. There are people playing cards, watching cards, and playing chess in the small shop. Leave Li Ruhai here and let him promote the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce.
As for whether Li Ruhai can open up the situation, Zhao Jun has never considered this issue at all. Compared with Zhang Yuanmin's clever tricks that sometimes work well, Li Ruhai's mouth is the real strength.
When Zhao Jun came out of the small store, he also followed him. He waved to Li Baoyu who was driving. Then Zhao Jun got in the car and started the jeep to go to the brigade headquarters.
The car stopped in front of the brigade headquarters, and everyone got out of the car. Zhang Yuanmin, who was sitting in the back row, took out the dough bag containing money.
Zhao Jun led people into the brigade headquarters and saw his old acquaintances Tao Dabao and Tao Fei.
In addition to these two people, there are also accountant You Zhijie and cashier Sun Shaoxing.
After greeting each other, Zhao Jun took out the money from his cloth pocket and put it in a pile on the table.
He is an accountant and a cashier who checks money and is much more skilled than Li Tongyun.
While the accountant and cashier were checking money, Tao Dabao chatted with Zhao Jun and asked, "Zhao Jun, how was your trip?"
"It's not bad." Zhao Jun smiled, raised his hand and pointed to the door, and said: "Uncle Tao, when I come back from this trip, I will bring you and Uncle Tao some sea food. I will give them to you before I leave later.
Send it home."
"You have to eat at home at noon." Tao Dabao heard the hidden meaning in Zhao Jun's words, and immediately stood up and said: "Your second aunt has prepared meals at home, and the old man is still talking about you."
"Yeah." Tao Fei then added, "Brother Jun, you have to come all the way to stay for two days."
"I can't live anymore, Xiao Fei." Zhao Jun said to the uncle and nephew: "Uncle Tao, I'm coming back now. The main thing is to give you money. After sending the money, I have to go to Little Sequoia immediately."
"Little Sequoia?" Tao Dabao frowned upon hearing this and asked, "What are you doing there?"
Zhao Jun told Tao Dabao about the killing of leopards in the Little Sequoia Forest Farm. After Tao Dabao listened, he said to Zhao Jun: "You can't live here, but you can leave after lunch, okay?"
"Okay." Zhao Jun thought for a while, nodded heavily, and said with a smile, "Then we'll finish our meal before leaving."
"Hey, that's right." Tao Dabao smiled and said, "Wait for me at home in a while. I have something to do, and I wanted to ask you something."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tao Dabao said that there are some things that are not suitable to be said in the brigade headquarters.
Zhao Jun nodded in agreement, and after the accountant and cashier checked the money, they followed Tao Fei out of the brigade headquarters.
"Ah, Brother Jun!" Coming out of the house, Tao Fei saw the jeep driven by Zhao Jun. He was very surprised and asked Zhao Jun: "Whose car is this?"
"My, haha." Zhao Jun responded with a smile. Tao Fei was even more surprised and blurted out: "Brother Jun, how much did you earn on this trip?"
"It has nothing to do with that, Xiao Fei." Zhao Jun said, "I got this from bear bile and the skin."
This is like running into mountains and occupying land in shacks. Even if you make money, you can't say it.
"Ah..." Tao Fei circled the jeep twice, then raised his head and asked Zhao Jun, "Brother Jun, can you let me drive around it?"
Their production team has vehicles, including Jiefang and Dongfanghong tractors, and there are more than one.
But the production team is pragmatic and will not buy a big Jeep if they have money.
Men like cars. Tao Fei drove Jiefang and tractors in the brigade. When he saw his friend's jeep, he not only felt itchy in his hands but also in his heart.
"Then go ahead." Zhao Jun waved to Jie Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, you stay with Xiao Fei."
Tao Fei and Jie Chen drove away, and Zhao Jun took the opportunity to take a cigarette and go around to the guest house behind the brigade headquarters to see Li Wencai.
Boss Li was very happy to see Zhao Jun coming. After chatting for a while, he heard the sound of a car horn outside. Zhao Jun stood up and said goodbye to Li Wencai.
Li Wencai wanted to stay with Zhao Jun and others for dinner, but Zhao Jun declined. After coming out of the guest house, two cars went to Yu Xuewen's house.
When I called yesterday, Yu Xuewen said that he was not at home. But Zhao Jun still brought something to Yu Xuewen. A sack filled with half-baked fish and crabs was given to Yu Xuewen's wife.
Zhao Jun came to Yu's house as a guest, and Yu Xuewen's daughter-in-law also recognized him. Seeing Zhao Jun coming to the door with gifts, Yu Xuewen's daughter-in-law wanted to stay at home for lunch out of courtesy.
Zhao Jun didn't even bother Li Wencai, let alone eat at Yu's house. After politely declining Yu Xuewen's wife's offer to stay for dinner, Zhao Jun went out and left by car.
The group of people came out from Yu's house and went to the small shop to pick up Li Ruhai. When they arrived at Tao's house, they were warmly welcomed by the Tao family.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw steam filling the outer room. Tao Xiaobao said that he heard yesterday that Zhao Jun was coming today and Li Yunxiang killed the goose early in the morning.
Hearing Tao Xiaobao's words, Zhao Jun remembered the first time he came to Tao's house as a guest. Li Yunxiang killed the only goose in the house to entertain him and Li Baoyu.
Tao Fulin took Zhao Jun into the house and sat on the kang to chat for a while. Tao Dabao's family also came.
Tao Dabao and his wife brought vegetables. He and Jiang Lan each held a small helmet with a plate attached to it. It was too cold outside, so this would prevent the heat from the food from escaping.
After the couple entered the house, Tao Dabao set up the table, and the couple brought braised pork and fried river fish.
Tao Erbao's family prepared peanuts and canned luncheon meat. The goose stewed in the iron pot will take a while, but the four dishes are served first, and then you can drink.
The men sat around the table, and the men of the Tao family, headed by Tao Fulin, invited Wang Qiang and others to drink.
After finishing the opening drink, Tao Dabao asked Zhao Jun: "Zhao Jun, did you drive that 212 outside?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun responded, and then Tao Dabao asked: "Did you buy it?"
"I bought it, Uncle Tao." Zhao Jun said this, and Tao Dabao asked again: "How much money do you make from doing this?"
"No, haha..." Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Uncle Tao, my car has some problems. It was cheap when I bought it, only 15,000."
"Ah? So cheap?" Tao Dabao was very surprised when he heard this.
Regarding the problem of this car, Zhao Jun did not say much, but continued: "Another one, we brothers went to the mountains to hunt for siege, and we bought a lot of money from our own bear bile and hides, so we bought such a car.
"
"Ah..." Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Tao Dabao nodded and asked Zhao Jun: "Zhao Jun, how much money can you make by selling a yellow leaf like yours in Hebei?"
This matter was considered a trade secret, but Zhao Jun felt that there was nothing to hide, especially since Tao Dabao and Zhao Weipeng knew each other well. If he really wanted to know, all he had to do was make a phone call.
So Zhao Jun said to Tao Dabao: "We are collecting yellow leaves at home. The male ones are thirty-eight and the female ones are twenty-eight. The day we arrived in Changshan, the price of yellow leaves was rising, and the female ones were sold for thirty-eight.
, one piece earns four yuan; the male one sells for forty-one, and one piece earns three yuan."
"Ah..." I don't know what Tao Dabao's plan was. After hearing what Zhao Jun said, he clicked his eyes twice and said, "Then you guys are going to make this trip. Is the road going to be easy?"
"The road is okay." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "There are dangers."
Zhao Jun never told his family about meeting robbers on the road. After hearing what he said, Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, and Li Ruhai all looked at him in surprise.
Zhao Jun told Tao Dabao what happened when he met the robbers on the road. After hearing this, Tao Dabao couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Yesterday, after Yu Xuewen answered the phone, he went to Tao Dabao specifically and asked Tao Dabao to receive Zhao Jun while asking him about the profits of Zhao Jun's business.
If the profit can be made, their brigade will organize a few people to collect the skins and bear bile from the brigade, and then transport them to Hebei for sale.
Tao Dabao still recognized the profit that Zhao Jun mentioned just now, but when Zhao Jun said that there was a robbery on the road, Tao Dabao started to retreat.
In terms of weapons and equipment, Zhao Jun has guns, and Yongxing Brigade also has cannons.
But those who robbed the road along the way were not without roots. As Zhao Jun said, those robbers all came from the villages on both sides of the road.
These days, not only are the people strong and strong, but the people in each village are also united. If there are too many people fighting, I dare not say it, but dozens or hundreds of people are no problem.
Especially here in the Northeast, many veterans have experienced the founding of the People's Republic of China and the Great Battle of Beibang. In 1993, infantry and artillery coordination was still possible during the armed fighting, let alone now?
Therefore, if you use weapons and weapons on someone else's territory and hurt someone, it will not be easy to leave.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Fortunately, Zhao Jun scared off the robbers that day, otherwise it would have been difficult for them to leave.
The production team is different from the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce. If something goes wrong with the people sent out to run the business, Tao Dabao and Yu Xuewen will be in vain for half their lives.
"Come on, come on, his old uncle." At this time, Tao Fulin raised his wine glass and asked Wang Qiang to drink. Tao Dabao, who had recovered his senses, quickly raised his wine glass and took a sip with him.
When Tao Dabao put down his cup, he heard Zhao Jun say to him: "Uncle Tao, when we were at the brigade headquarters, didn't you say you would ask me if you have anything to do when you get home? Just this matter?"
"Yeah." Tao Dabao told Zhao Jun that he and Yu Xuewen wanted to organize people to go to Hebei to do business.
After saying that, Tao Dabao shook his head and said: "As you said, if there are people blocking the road and robbing, then it won't work."
Tao Dabao calculated in his mind that the gasoline for their production team's sports car would have to be paid for by the team. A trip back and forth would deduct gas money, food and accommodation, and it would not be worthwhile to take risks again.
"Uncle Tao." Hearing what Tao Dabao said, Zhao Jun hurriedly said: "Then if your brigade organizes people to go, you can sell me the bear bile and skin."
If Yongxing Brigade organized its own businessmen, Zhao Jun really couldn't raise this issue. But since Yongxing Brigade is not prepared to do that, Zhao Jun will make money.
Tao Dabao was startled, then heard Zhao Jun continue to say: "Uncle Tao, the prices we charge for things are the same as those at the big stores at the foot of the mountain. We won't let you suffer any loss."
"That's counterintuitive, then..." Tao Dabao was about to speak when he heard movement from the outer room, as if someone was coming.
Immediately afterwards, I heard Li Yunxiang say: "Third brother, have you eaten? Then why don't you go into the room, Xiaobao and the others are eating."
After Li Yunxiang finished speaking, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the house. As soon as he entered the house, he first nodded to Li Ruhai who was directly opposite him, and then greeted Tao Fulin and his son.
Tao Fulin and Tao Xiaobao invited him to sit down and eat, but he refused.
Just listen to this person say: "Xiaobao, I heard that your family has come to collect skins. How do you get it? Just collect big skins, bear bile? Don't you want to collect yellow leaves?"
Hearing what he said, the Tao family father and son both looked at Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun stood up and said to the man: "Master, how many cards do you have at home? Bring them over and I'll collect them for you."
Zhao Jun originally didn't want to collect yellow leaves and gray skin, but he caught up and someone came to his door. Moreover, Li Yunxiang called him third brother, and Tao Fei called him third uncle. Zhao Jun wondered what this man probably had to do with Li Yunxiang.
Relatives, for the sake of Li Yunxiang, would not let this person make this trip in vain.
"I have twenty pieces at home." When the man heard that Zhao Jun was willing to accept them, he quickly asked: "What price will you charge for them?"
"The male's is thirty-eight, the female's is twenty-eight." As soon as Zhao Jun said this, the man immediately turned around and said, "Wait, I will go home and get it for you."
"Hey? Master!" Zhao Jun hurriedly stopped him and warned, "Don't worry, I'll be back in two days. Just bring it to me."
Today, Zhao Jun cannot stay in the Yongxing brigade for a long time. He plans to leave first and then ask Tao Fulin to help him organize and expand. When he returns from Xiaohongshan, he will then establish himself in this brigade. Then he will collect the big hides and bear bile.
"That's okay, then I'll go back first." The man said this, and Zhao Jun warned him: "Master, we normally don't collect yellow leaves or gray bark, but today we have caught up, you
I promise to collect those yellow leaves for you.
What's going on, please don't spread the word, otherwise I won't be able to accept your message."
"Hey, Zhao Jun?" After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Tao Dabao gently pulled his arm and asked: "Why don't you collect yellow leaves and gray skin? We only have these two in our brigade. You must be able to do them all."
If we collect them, we will save them the trouble of running down the mountain."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Tao, don't we have no money?"
