Previously, Yu Quanjin wanted to form a Yongxing caravan, so he told the mountaineers in the group to keep all the skins and bear bile they had beaten.
The people in the brigade were very obedient, mainly because they saved them from running down the mountain.
These days, people in the forest area do not go down the mountain to buy new year goods like the Zhao family. They go to the market to buy some melon seeds, frozen pears, and sugar balls to celebrate the New Year.
So under normal circumstances, no one is willing to go down the mountain. The brigade organizes to collect these things, they will not be happy
There are ten small teams under the Yongxing Brigade. There are thousands of people, and there are many people running in the mountains. Needless to say, the rewards.
Zhao Jun took the book and looked at it, only to see that it was densely packed with names of people and types of skins. According to the statistics, at least twenty gray skins or twenty yellow leaves had to start.
Zhao Jun turned back and flipped through five pages before ending.
At this time, Yu Xuewen raised his hand to gesture to You Zhijie. You Zhijie understood it and said to Zhao Jun: "In the past two days, we have collected more than 800 yellow leaves for you. As for Huipi, he is in his early 500s.
Five hundred and fifteen, or five hundred and eighteen?"
Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard this. He took the gray leather to Changshan and found a profit of four yuan for one piece and three yuan for the yellow leaf.
According to what You Zhijie said, the profit currently collected by Yongxing Brigade for him is only 5,000 yuan.
The key is that Zhao Jun doesn't have to pay for the capital.
"Zhao Jun, all the leathers and stuff are in the warehouse." Tao Dabao called Zhao Jun and said, "It's time. Come home with me to have a meal. After you finish eating, I will take you to the warehouse. You have finished checking.
, and then drag those things away.
After waiting for two days, we have collected everything, and then we will call you and ask you to come again."
"Uncle Tao, Secretary Yu." After listening to Tao Dabao's words, Zhao Jun hurriedly said to the two giants of Yongxing: "Do you think this is okay? Let's put these things in your warehouse first. When we leave on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year,
I came here from home, picked up these things, and then took them directly to Changshan Mountain."
"This..." Tao Dabao looked at Yu Xuewen when he heard this. Yu Xuewen nodded and said, "That's okay, isn't that the same thing?"
Anyway, it was his Yongxing brigade who paid for it. It didn't matter to them when Zhao Jun came to pick up these things.
But for Zhao Jun, it was different. After getting these things home, he had to take care of them himself, so why not put them in the Yongxing Brigade.
Seeing that Yu Xuewen agreed, Tao Dabao smiled at Zhao Jun and said, "Let's go home with me for dinner. After dinner, you can go if you like."
After talking to Zhao Jun, Tao Dabao and Yu Xuewen said, "Lao Yu, I'm leaving then."
Yu Xuewen responded, stood up, exchanged polite words with Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang, and sent them out of the house.
After coming out of the brigade headquarters, the three of them got into a jeep and headed to Tao Dabao's house.
Tao Dabao's daughter-in-law, Jiang Lan, was taking care of her children at home. Jiang Lan was not prepared for Zhao Jun's sudden visit.
At this time, there was no need to rush to kill the chicken or turn the meat into meat. Fortunately, there were frozen dumplings at home, so Jiang Lan cooked dumplings for them.
Dumplings filled with sauerkraut and wild boar meat, with more sauerkraut than meat.
But if the farmers are not celebrating the New Year, it would be great to be able to eat dumplings with meat!
This was thanks to Tao Dabao's strength. The mountaineers in the brigade hunted wild boars and would often send some meat to his family.
Zhao Jun and the others were at home, and the dumplings they ate were full of meat and eggs when they were bitten into the skin. It felt quite fresh to eat these dumplings cold, and it was a bit like remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness.
While eating dumplings, Zhao Jun told Tao Dabao that he wanted to buy pigs from Yongxing Brigade. Tao Dabao stuffed the dumplings into his mouth and said vaguely: "Okay, I'll go to the third team to raise pigs before you leave."
Pigsty, pick the fattest one. I'll give you 75 cents for the hairy pig. I won't ask you for more money."
"Uncle Tao, our..." Zhao Jun paused mid-sentence and said, "We need seven."
"Huh?" Tao Dabao, who had just picked up a dumpling, was stunned. The dumpling fell into his bowl and the soy sauce in the bowl splashed onto the table.
"Why did you buy so many?" Tao Dabao frowned and asked, "You can't use those for gifts?"
"Aren't there several of our families?" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "They all want to kill a pig to treat guests before the Chinese New Year."
"If there is a wild boar, just treat it." Tao Dabao said, but Zhao Jun laughed and said, "Isn't the wild boar thin now?"
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Tao Dabao lamented that this boy couldn't live a good life, but he didn't say anything else.
After dinner, Zhao Jun and the others were ready to leave. When Tao Dabao accompanied them out, they happened to see Tao Fulin coming this way with his hands behind his back.
The old man came to see his grandson. When he saw Zhao Jun, Tao Fulin said in surprise: "Boy Zhao, why did you come here? Why didn't you get home?"
"I arrived before noon." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I came to have dinner with Uncle Tao after I finished."
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Tao Fulin said: "Then go to your second uncle's house to eat."
"It's terrible, Mr. Tao." Zhao Jun said, "We have to leave right away."
"Dad!" At this time, Tao Dabao said to Tao Fulin: "You accompany Zhao Jun and others to the third team to buy pigs, and I will go back to the brigade headquarters."
"Buy pigs?" Tao Fulin was stunned and then heard Zhao Jun say: "Master Tao, we are thinking of buying a few pigs to take home for a treat before the end of the year."
"Let's go then." Tao Fulin waved his hand, and then said to Tao Dabao: "Boss, you go about your business, I will lead Zhao Jun."
After saying that, Tao Fulin followed Zhao Jun into the jeep.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Tao Fulin looked around and said to Zhao Jun: "Boy, your car is really good."
Zhao Jun smiled and drove out.
After walking for more than four miles, the jeep passed through the third team and stopped in front of a house under the command of Tao Fulin.
As soon as Zhao Jun got out of the car, a stench hit his nose.
Behind this house is a pigsty, and there are piles of shoveled pig manure next to it. The smell is not good.
"Come into the house with me, kid." Tao Fulin waved to Zhao Jun and said, "Call Bai Laoer."
The Bai Laoer mentioned by Tao Fulin, the two of them raised pigs for the brigade, and Bai Laoer was also in charge of killing pigs.
Tao Fulin was in front, and Zhao Jun was behind. As soon as Tao Fulin opened the door, he heard a man in the room curse: "You're so pretty, how many times have I told you? Ah? Pick the tofu, pick the edges, pick the edges!"
"You're so pretty! You love to tuck your stuff (sēi) so much!" After the man scolded, a woman responded: "I've been waiting for you all day, and you're still doing nothing... Oh, here comes Uncle Tao!"
In the middle of the scolding, the woman saw Tao Fulin and hurriedly greeted him: "Have you eaten, Uncle Tao?"
"We've finished eating." Tao Fulin said, "What are you two arguing about?"
When Tao Fulin was talking, a man hurriedly came out of the house to greet him. This man was not tall, a standard-looking man with a rough face.
This man is Bai Canhong, the pigherd and butcher of the Yongxing Third Team, also known as Bai Laoer in Tao Fulin's mouth.
Bai Canhong came out and called Tao Fulin to the back room.
"I'm not going in." There was an unpleasant smell in the room, and Tao Fulin said to Bai Canhong, "I have something to ask you for. Have you finished eating?"
"I've finished fucking, what's going on, Uncle Tao?" Bai Canhong asked. Tao Fulin pointed back at Zhao Jun and said, "This guy wants to catch pigs, so you have to be big enough to catch him!"
"Oh!" Bai Canhong glanced at Zhao Jun and said immediately: "Isn't this Zhao Jun?"
Zhao Jun has been on the podium in the Yongxing brigade and can be considered a minor celebrity.
Seeing that he was recognized, Zhao Jun nodded to Bai Canhong with a smile and called "Master Bai".
"You pick up the table." Bai Canhong said to his wife, "I'll catch the pigs for Uncle Tao and the others."
At this time, Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, and Li Ruhai who came by jeep all got out of the car. The three of them followed Zhao Jun, Tao Fulin, and Bai Canhong toward the pig house.
As for Li Baoyu, Jie Chen did not get out of the car, because next Li Baoyu had to drive the liberation vehicle to the door of the pig house so that he could lift the captured pigs onto the vehicle.
As they walked, Tao Fulin said to Bai Canhong: "Second brother, we can't just curse and curse when we live together! You've made her anxious, and she's gone back to her parents' house again. Who will take care of you? Leave yourself alone, you can't even talk hot words."
You can’t even eat, how can you still eat tofu?”
"Hehe..." Bai Canhong smiled and said, "Uncle Tao, why don't we tell you the old saying, pick the tofu and pick the edges, talk about your wife and talk about your third son."
Men here like to eat soybean tofu and dry tofu. It can be said that they can’t get enough of these two things.
Anyone who dares to open a tofu shop here must have poor craftsmanship, otherwise they will not be able to open it at all.
The tofu here is made with brine, which makes the tofu tender and smooth.
Silky tofu has a good taste, but it breaks easily when stewed. As for a plate of tofu, the circles on the four sides are relatively hard and not easy to break when stewed.
That’s why there is a saying that when picking tofu, you have to pick the edges.
Hearing Bai Canhong's words, Tao Fulin smiled and said, "Isn't your wife the third child in the family?"
"Damn it!" Bai Canhong muttered, "This bitch won't listen to me."
Tao Fulin smiled when he heard this, and instead of trying to persuade Bai Canhong, he turned around and asked Zhao Jun: "Boy, who is your unmarried daughter-in-law at home?"
"She has one sister, one brother and one brother." After Zhao Jun answered, he was also curious, so he asked Tao Fulin: "Master Tao, why do you say you want to marry a wife to a third son? Why do you say Tao's son?"
The "san'er" that Bai Canhong mentioned just now is definitely not the mistress, but means the third in line at home.
"Haha." Tao Fulin smiled and said: "You say it's San'er, but in fact it's Lao Ge (gā) Da (da). Don't you say you're a little treacherous?"
The word "treacherous" does not have a derogatory meaning, but means smart.
"Uncle Tao." After Tao Fulin finished speaking, Wang Qiang said with a smile: "I heard that 'the big one hurts, the small one is delicate, and it hurts when you get beaten and angry'?"
To be a waist means to be in the middle. Tao Fulin nodded when he heard this and said: "It's not good, the children in the middle are not popular!"
After receiving education from Zhao Jun in the past two days, Li Ruhai has learned a lot. Now that the adults are talking, he will not interrupt.
But at this time, Li Ruhai felt a little itchy, so he pulled Zhang Yuanmin, and then whispered in his ear: "Brother Zhang, what the old man said is wrong."
"Huh?" Zhang Yuanmin was startled, looked at Li Ruhai and said, "What's going on?"
"They told me that picking up tofu and picking up the edges is the reason why the wife calls San'er..." Li Ruhai whispered in Zhang Yuanmin's ear: "Bian'er is fat, San'er is promiscuous."
Zhang Yuanmin: "..."
Listen!
How can a fourteen-year-old child say this!
"Who did you listen to?" Zhang Yuanmin asked, and Li Ruhai said, "I heard what Wang Dalong said."
"Don't fight him again and again." When Zhang Yuanmin said this, several people had already walked to the door of the pig house, and the Liberation Vehicle also followed from behind.
These days, pig houses cannot be built with large tiles. They are all wooden houses with corrugated wood. The outside is covered with yellow mud mixed with crushed hay. There are windows in the front and back. There is no glass but they are sealed with plastic sheets to block the wind and let in light.
Such a pig house is already very impressive, and only the Yongxing Brigade has this condition.
Of course, the Yongxing brigade is not doing this to make a high profile, but the warmer the pigs are in winter, the more fat they will gain.
At a glance, Zhao Jun saw a row of wooden houses with more than ten doors, each door corresponding to a pig house.
"Choose fat ones for us!" Tao Fulin warned again, and Bai Canhong agreed repeatedly, and then led a group of people to the third pig house.
The single door was unlocked and was held up by a stone. Bai Canhong bent down and pushed the stone aside, opened the door and said to Tao Fulin: "Uncle Tao, what do you think of these four pigs in this pen?"
The room inside is quite large. The entrance is not a pigsty, but an empty space, and the pigsty only occupies three-quarters of it.
The pigsty is surrounded by stones about one meter high, otherwise the pigs can damage the wooden house.
The floor of the pig pen is made of compacted soil. The side facing the entrance is facing the sun, the right side is the pig trough, and the left side facing the window is a pig nest made of hay.
They say pigs are dirty, but in fact pigs know how to be clean. They never urinate near their nests or troughs. They have special places for going to the toilet. At this time, there was a lot of pig manure piled up in the northeast corner of the pig pen.
In this pigsty, which is more than five meters long and five meters wide, there are four fat pigs. The smallest one weighs more than 250 kilograms, while the largest one weighs three hundred kilograms.

Seeing Bai Canhong come in, the four pigs all got up, wagging their ears, and moved their tails towards the pig trough.
This is a habit to develop!
Seeing this scene, Tao Fulin asked Bai Canhong: "Didn't you feed me at noon?"
"Is that possible, Uncle Tao?" Bai Canhong said, "They've all finished eating at noon, so why should I just eat?"
There is no heating in this house. Sunlight can enter through the windows during the day, so the room is slightly better. But it is minus 30 degrees outside, and it is more than minus 20 degrees in this house during the day.
It's so cold that you can't pour too much every time you feed, otherwise the pigs won't be able to finish eating and will freeze in the trough.
At this time, there was a thick layer of frozen pig food in the trough.
In this case, you have to feed it in small amounts and multiple times.
Bai Canhong and his wife feed the pigs three times a day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening.
"Boy!" At this time, Tao Fulin called Zhao Jun and asked: "These four pigs are quite good!"
"Yeah!" Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Then I'll catch all four of them."
"Ah?" Bai Canhong was startled when he heard this, looked at Zhao Jun and asked: "How many do you want to arrest?"
He thought Zhao Jun was going to kill him.
"I'll capture seven, Master Bai." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I'll capture all four of these in this circle."
After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Bai Canhong rolled his eyes twice, and then said to Zhao Jun: "Wait for me for a while!"
After saying that, Bai Canhong walked out. Within two minutes, he came back with something.
He held several short strands of hemp rope in one hand, and a half of the sack in the other hand, the half with a bottom, and the mouth of the sack was threaded with a circle of iron wire to make the mouth of the sack form a circle that was not easily deformed.
This thing is used to cover the pig's head.
Put it on the pig's head. The pig can't see anything and it will be confused. When the time comes, it will be easy for people to tie the pig's hooves.
Bai Canhong took the sack, handed the dozen or so short hemp ropes to Zhao Jun, and said, "Two of you come out and follow me in."
"I'll come!" Li Baoyu took the initiative to invite him, and Xie Chen said: "There is also me."
Although they did not agree with Li Ruhai's positioning of them in the Zhao family gang, whenever there was dirty work or tiring work, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen consciously took the initiative to step forward.
Pigs also understand human nature. They recognize Bai Canhong, but not Li Baoyu and Jie Chen.
Seeing the stranger enter the pig pen, the four pigs ran north and stood on the frozen pile of pig manure.
Bai Canhong, who was passing by, opened his arms and hit the pig with one hand in front. When a pig slipped away and was about to leave, Bai Canhong quickly put the sack on the pig's head.
Unable to see, the pig stopped instantly. Li Baoyu and Jie Chen each took a rope and pulled the pig's leg.
The two people were on the right side of the pig, but one pulled the left front leg and the other pulled the right front leg. As they exerted force together, they directly pulled the 2,780-pound pig to the ground.
"Ouch...Ouch..." The pig howled and kicked its legs. Li Baoyu and Jie Chen struggled to bring the pig's hooves together.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuanmin outside the pig pen shook his head and said: "It's a pity that my pig hook is not here!"
