chapter one hundred and eighty five.

 "How much?"

This time, there was no "how much". Except for Zhao Jun, even the female employee was shocked.

Thirty-two hundred yuan!

These days, in this mountain town, this is really a sky-high price.

Zhao Jun will go to work soon, and he works as a technician in the forest farm acceptance team, which only makes 46 yuan and 80 cents a month.

This three thousand two thousand is equivalent to Zhao Jun's salary for five or six years.

If you want to use this money to talk about your wife in the countryside, as long as no one cares about it, it won't be a problem to talk to ten of them.

Li Baoyu dropped the sack in his hand and grabbed Zhao Jun's arm.

At this time, many people had gathered around.

After the New Year, there are many people who go up the mountain to sell clips and rackets, and there are also more people who come down the mountain to sell leather goods.

But how can those yellow leaves and gray bark be so valuable?

Pairs of eyes fell on the lynx skin, with different expressions.

Zhao Jun looked at the male employee and said, "More."

"Ah?" The male employee was stunned.

Zhao Jun looked at him and said, "Three thousand and five."

"Three thousand and five..." The male employee hesitated, looking embarrassed.

Zhao Jun pointed inside and said: "Why don't you call me again and ask, if you want three thousand five hundred, I will sell it to you."

The male employee didn't say anything, nor did he make another call. He just turned around and opened the drawer, took out three wads of money and placed them in front of Zhao Jun, and then took out most of the remaining wads.

This wad of money originally had one hundred cards, but I just pointed out eighteen to the bear bile seller.

The male employee picked out thirty-two more and threw them back into the drawer. He handed the remaining half a stack to Zhao Jun and said, "You have checked."

Zhao Jun took the money, kicked the sack beside his feet, and shouted: "Baoyu!"

"Brother." Li Baoyu looked at Zhao Jun dully.

This is a child who has never seen the world.

When Zhao Jun pointed at the sack in front of his feet, Li Baoyu reacted and hurriedly picked up the sack, opened the mouth of the sack, and pulled out another lynx skin in the eyes of everyone who was extremely surprised.

"I..." The male employees were stunned.

At this time, Zhao Jun was holding a sack roll under his left arm. The long thing rolled in the sack was unknown. He only used his right hand to unfold the lynx skin on the table, and then said to the male employee: "Measure it."

."

Peel off the skin, no head, no tail, no limbs below the elbow joint.

Therefore, although it was bitten by four dogs yesterday, this lynx skin only has a few flaws on the buttocks.

The male employee measured and looked at it, then said "Wait a moment" to Zhao Jun, and hurried to the back room.

This time, he took a little long to go. Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu to put away the lynx skin first, so as not to delay other people's selling.

Zhao Jun, on the other hand, quickly checked the money. After checking it once, and seeing that there were no mistakes, he put it all in his shoulder pocket.

When the male employee came back, he said to Zhao Jun: "Two thousand and five."

"What?" Li Baoyu's eyes widened, a little unbelievable, but this time it was not because there was more, but because there was less.

That lynx skin can be sold for 3,500 yuan. If this one is a little worn, it’s only 2,500 yuan?

Zhao Jun reached out to stop Li Baoyu and said to the male employee: "Three thousand!"

The male employee shook his head and said, "I'll give you an extra one hundred or two thousand and six at most. If you agree, I'll take it. If you don't agree, you can take it back."

Zhao Jun heard this, thought for a while and said: "I'm selling you, please give me the money."

The male employee turned around and took money from the drawer, first two wads, and then ordered sixty bills.

At this time, many people were gathered around, including those selling leather goods and those watching the fun, but there was only one person in the center of everyone's attention, and that was Zhao Jun.

After Zhao Jun counted the money, he stuffed it into his shoulder pocket, shook his head at Li Baoyu, then turned around and left.

But the male employee suddenly spoke and called Zhao Jun: "Little brother."

"Huh?" Zhao Jun turned to look at him.

The male employee raised his chin slightly and said, "What's under your arm?"

He thought Zhao Jun still had goods.

Zhao Jun lowered his head and glanced at the sack rolled between himself, and said with a smile: "A pickaxe handle."

"Ah?" The male employee was startled when he heard this and asked doubtfully: "What are you doing with it?"

"Self-defense." Zhao Jun said: "It costs so much, shouldn't I be more defensive?"

After saying that, Zhao Jun held the sack roll in one hand and covered his shoulder bag with the other, and walked out of the crowd.

As soon as he left the counter selling mountain products, Li Baoyu asked: "Brother, do you want to buy something to eat?"

"What are you buying? Hurry up and leave." Zhao Jun replied and strode out.

The two of them came on the street. Since they didn't have a car, they decided to walk all the way back.

But it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and Zhao Jun was also a little hungry. He remembered that when he came last time, he bought some stove fruits and trough cakes to eat on the road. This time, he didn't buy anything. He had to keep walking back to the village.

, I’m afraid the feeling of being hungry is unpleasant.

Happening to pass by a state-owned restaurant, Zhao Jun looked behind him, looked left and right, and then grabbed Li Baoyu and said, "Let's go, Baoyu, let's go to a restaurant and have a meal."

"Okay!" Li Baoyu happily entered the restaurant with Zhao Jun. It was already past the meal, and there was no one eating in the restaurant.

Moreover, the boss and the waiter are both the same person, a man of nearly fifty years old, wearing a white apron and a white chef's hat, sitting behind a table near the counter drinking tea.

When he saw the two people coming in, he leaned a little toward the wall and said, "What do you want to eat? Just order."

Zhao Jun looked at the wall and saw a small blackboard hanging on the wall. On it were written four characters of today's dishes, and below were two columns and three rows, a total of six dish names.

Stewed carp, braised pork ribs, hot and sour shredded potatoes, dried tofu, pot-wrapped pork, braised red pork.

There should be two more lines under these six dish names, but they should all be sold out by noon.

The two of them sat down at the table under the blackboard, leaning forward and looking up at the blackboard above. Even though there were only six dish names, Li Baoyu looked at it for a long time.

"Baoyu, what are you eating?" Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu.

Li Baoyu blurted out: "Dried tofu with sharp pepper!"

Zhao Jun suddenly became happy, "Can you order something tough?"

Li Baoyu smiled, stewed fish and braised pork ribs, they eat a lot of these two dishes, not to mention spicy and sour potato shreds.

Dried tofu is also considered a rarity nowadays, and it is not something you can eat casually.

Moreover, Northeastern people, especially Northeastern men, love soybean tofu and dry tofu.

At this point, Zhao Jun turned to look at the boss and said: "Dried tofu, braised pork, pot-wrapped pork, what are the staple foods?"

"Rice, steamed beef dumplings."

Zhao Jun said: "Two bowls of rice and a drawer of steamed dumplings."

"Wait!" The boss stood up and walked behind the counter. Inside was the kitchen. He went in to cook, leaving Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu outside.

"Baoyu, I will give you the money when I get it back."

"Yeah." Li Baoyu kept nodding and asked in a low voice: "Brother, we really don't have to hand it in this time?"
