Yong'an Forest District, hundreds of kilometers from east to west, has more than 130 forest areas, and Zhao Jun has never walked through them all in his life.
When Li Baoyu mentioned Lin Class 65, Zhao Jun suddenly felt very familiar.
Zhao Jun stretched out his chopsticks to pick up meat. After thinking for a moment, he remembered that when he first joined the Xialengchang, in the cook's shack of the 78th Lengchang, he heard that there was a tiger on the Old Guitouzi Ridge.
I went on a two-gun hunt with Zhou Chengguo, and although I escaped unscathed, it was very thrilling.
Zhao Jun never mentioned this matter to anyone, so even Li Baoyu didn't know that there was a tiger in the 65 Lin class.
At this moment, Zhao Jun's reaction was so great that everyone at the table noticed something strange.
Having said this, Zhao Jun stopped hiding it. He put a piece of bear meat in his bowl and said, "That 65 Lin Ban has big claws on his head."
"Ah?" When everyone heard this, the person holding the cup put down his cup, and the person holding the bowl put down his bowl. They all looked at Zhao Jun in shock.
Zhao Youcai stared at Zhao Jun and asked, "How do you know?"
Zhao Jun replied: "At the beginning of spring, Brother Zhou and I went up."
"Brother!" Li Ruhai looked at Zhao Jun excitedly and asked, "What did you hit when you went up? Why didn't I hear you say that?"
"Just cut a whip." After Zhao Jun finished speaking, seeing the different looks in everyone's eyes, he quickly added: "Deer whip."
So, Zhao Jun told everyone about hunting a tiger and snatching a whip from the tiger's mouth.
"Brother Jun!" Jie Chen gave Zhao Jun a thumbs up and praised: "You are so powerful, you dare to even snatch the prey of the mountain god."
In the legend of the Northeast forest area, the tiger is the mount of the mountain god. According to legend, if a person sees a tiger in the mountain forest, it means he bumps into the mountain god on his trip. However, the mountain god does not appear in front of mortals, so people cannot see him. Therefore,
You must kneel down and kowtow.
Therefore, the story of Zhao Jun catching tigers in the Yongxing Brigade is regarded by the mountain people as Zhao Jun capturing the Mountain God alive. And the food snatched from the tiger's mouth is naturally snatched from the mouth of the Mountain God.
At this time, Zhao Jun turned to Zhao Youcai and said: "Dad, don't go up the mountain to look at the big paw. If you hit that thing, you have to be among the first."
Although there is no talk of sitting in jail and piercing the beast, those big claws are really not something that can be hit casually. Zhao Jun is afraid that his own father will be confused for a while, otherwise, he will not be able to get married after this year.
"That can't be done." Zhao Youcai didn't hesitate at all, and said directly that he couldn't. Siberian tigers are not like other animals. If you go alone, you may not be hunting by humans, but you may be hunting by tigers.
Zhao Youcai didn't know if his son's tiger capture would have a chance to appear in the county annals. But if his son caught a tiger and his father was eaten by a tiger, it would definitely make the news.
Zhao Youcai couldn't talk anymore, and Li Baoyu naturally wouldn't mention going there to hunt wild boars again.
These days, wild boars and roe deer are thick in the mountains, so where can’t they be hunted? Do they have to compete with the mountain god for food?
However, where to go tomorrow is still a question.
At this time, Li Ruhai suddenly said to Zhao Jun: "Brother, you go up the mountain tomorrow to hunt some greyhound roe, chipmunk roe or something like that. I ate it once a year ago and thought it was quite delicious."
Hearing this, Zhao Jun put the bit of meat in a bowl. After chewing the meat in his mouth, he said to Li Baoyu: "Baoyu, get up early tomorrow and let's leave early. Before you leave, you can pour more into the bullet casings."
A few pieces of sand, let’s go to the small cement bridge first.”
When hunting squirrels, if you use gunpowder, nothing will be left after one shot. You have to fill the bullet shell of the No. 16 gun with sand, so that the shot will not cause much damage to the squirrel's skin and flesh. After dinner, the five members of the Li family returned home. Before leaving, Li Ruhai left half a pocket of hazelnuts for Zhao Jun.
Looking at the hazelnuts in the big basin, Zhao Jun suddenly remembered how he and Li Baoyu dug out the squirrel's nest when they were hunting squirrels last year.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jun thought of a way to make a fortune, so he went to the door of the west room and asked Jie Chen, who was sitting on the edge of the kang washing his feet, and said, "Do you know how much an air gun costs in my brother-in-law's supply and marketing cooperative?" Jie Chen, who was washing his feet, raised his right foot, put his ankle on his left knee, wiped the water on his feet with a rag in his hand, raised his head and replied: "I really know this. Last year our village, Chen Laowu, bought an air gun to shoot.
It was a gray-skinned, half-sanded chicken, so I bought a handful from my brother-in-law. Normally, the supply and marketing cooperative sells them for 80, but my brother-in-law charged him 75."
"Seventy-five." Zhao Jun held his hand on the door frame and looked at Erhei who was lying on a sack to recover from his injuries behind the door, but he was thinking about other things.
At this time, Jie Chen, who had finished wiping his feet, came out with a basin. Zhao Jun put away his arms to make way for him.
After Jiechen left the house and poured the water, he came back and asked Zhao Jun: "Brother Jun, do you want to buy an air rifle?"
The air gun that Zhao Jun and Xie Chen mentioned is a high-pressure air gun. This gun cannot shoot large prey, but it is the best for hunting squirrels, rabbits, sand chickens, pheasants and other small things.
But Jie Chen couldn't understand why Zhao Jun's family had a semi-automatic and a No. 16 mounted gun, so why would he buy an air gun?
But seeing Zhao Jun nodding as he poured foot-washing water into the basin, Jie Chen said, "Brother Jun, if you want to buy it, just throw 70 yuan to your brother-in-law."
When Zhao Jun heard this, his eyes lit up. After placing the thermos bottle next to the footbath, he stood up and asked Xie Chen, "What if I buy more?"
"What?" Jie Chen was a little confused. He blinked at Zhao Jun and asked after a while: "Buy more, how much can you buy?"
Zhao Jun raised his hand, raised an index finger, and said: "One hundred."
"How much?" Jie Chen was shocked and asked: "Brother Jun, I didn't hear you clearly. Please say it again."
In fact, he heard clearly, but he just couldn't believe his ears.
"One hundred." Zhao Jun replied to the minister again, and then said: "This matter cannot be discussed on the phone. You can go back and ask your brother-in-law this time. Just send me a message after you say hello."
"Brother Jun." Jie Chen approached Zhao Jun nervously and asked, "Why do you need so many air guns?"
"I won't do anything else." Zhao Jun knew that if he didn't explain clearly, Jie Chen might not be able to sleep at night, so he said, "You know Huipi, right?"
"I know." Jie Chen said: "Why don't we just beat off the gray skin tomorrow morning?"
Zhao Jun nodded and continued: "I heard news that our export volume of gray leather will increase, and the price will go up by then."
There are no squirrels being bred these days, so the gray skins collected by supply and marketing cooperatives are all hunted by hunters from the mountains.
Due to climate reasons, the quality of gray leather in the Northeast is much better than that in the South. From the early years, the gray leather in the Northeast was exported abroad to earn foreign exchange.
If the export volume increases, the price of gray leather will definitely rise a lot.
"Then with the air rifle..." Halfway through his words, Jie Chen understood what Zhao Jun meant. He nodded slightly and said: "The price of gray leather has increased, and there will be more people shooting gray leather. Brother Jun, when the time comes, you can
Airsoft, you can earn at least ten yuan!"
Hunting gray skins is not like hunting black bears and wild boars. They are easily injured if not managed well. There is no danger in hunting gray skins, and you can make huge profits.
Therefore, if the price of gray leather is really going to double, then there will definitely be many more people using gray leather than before.
If you only hit gray skin, a high-pressure air gun is enough. As for a high-pressure air gun, Sun Haizhu offered a friendly price of 70 yuan, and Zhao Jun sold it for 80 yuan. In this way, you can earn 10 yuan.
If it's one hundred, it's one thousand yuan.
This one thousand yuan is a lot of money now. But Jiechen knows that only rich people like Zhao Jun can do this. By pressing a batch of high-pressure air guns, they can earn nearly 20% of the profit.
Profit.
But Jiechen didn't know that after the spring of next year, not only the price of gray leather has increased by half, but also the price of high-pressure air guns has been rising steadily. Within half a year, it has risen from eighty to ninety, and then to one hundred.
.
Half a year later, it rose directly to 120, and then to 150. At the highest point, it rose to 180.
Is this price scary?
No, even if it reaches the highest level, it will only cost two pieces of gray paper.
Zhao Jun remembers that from the beginning of next spring, the price of gray bark will increase, and after the summer and autumn, many forestry workers will get up early in the morning and come out from home, go into the mountains to hunt for gray bark, and then go directly to work. p>
Not to mention, the militiamen’s target practice every year is really not in vain. Even those bad hands can still trim four or five gray skins in a month.
This is much more than salary!
In this case, what is a 180-meter air rifle?
So Zhao Jun wanted to make a fortune by playing air rifle. Since his rebirth, he has made a lot of money and saved a lot of bear bile.
Zhao Jun also knew that before the gun ban, the price of bear bile was about the same. It would be better to sell them all for money and make a profit from Tunbo Airgun.
Thinking about these things randomly, Zhao Jun gradually fell into sleep. After a night, Zhao Jun and Jie Chen got up at four o'clock in the morning.
Because he said hello in advance last night, Wang Meilan brought the food to the table after Zhao Jun and Jiang Chen came back from washing up.
Eggplant, stewed potatoes and steamed buns with noodles. After Zhao Jun and his ministers finished eating, they packed up their things, changed their clothes, carried their guns, and went out with dry food.
When they arrived outside the door, Zhao Jun asked Jie Chen to get in the car and wait while he climbed over the wall to the next door to call Li Baoyu.
When Zhao Jun entered Li's house, Li Dayong, Jin Xiaomei and Li Ruhai were eating in the west room, while Li Baoyu was carrying a bag on his shoulder.
Zhao Jun entered the house and said hello to Li Dayong and Jin Xiaomei, then heard Li Ruhai say to him: "Brother, you and I are going to hunt greyhounds today, can you bring us back alive? My three sisters and I are both
I really want to have a small animal to play with."
This kid is really smart. When he wants something, he knows to bring three little girls with him.
Zhao Jun was startled when he heard this. He thought for a while and then said to Li Ruhai: "Ruhai, if we want to capture him, we don't have time to serve him."
"I'll take care of you!" Li Ruhai puffed up his chest and said, "The hazelnuts Aunt Qi brought yesterday are ready-made, so I'll feed them."
Seeing the child's easy words, Zhao Jun also wanted to find something for him to do, so as to save him from having to go out and mess around all day, so he nodded and said: "Okay, you can stay at home and wait."
After hearing Zhao Jun's promise, Li Ruhai happily jumped up from the kang.
Seeing that he was so successful, Zhao Jun hurriedly dragged Li Baoyu out. After closing the door outside the house, Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu: "Baoyu, last time I borrowed three large iron cages from the Tunbu, is there one left?"
”
When Zhao Jun was catching jackals in the mountains that day, he sent Zhang Yuanmin and his minister Zhang Yuanmin to Tunbu and borrowed three large cages from Zhao Guofeng.
Let one of them hold the three young jackals. One of them is holding Zhao Jun's chicken. This is to guard against black tigers.
There is still one cage left in Li Baoyu's barn.
After receiving Li Baoyu's affirmation, Zhao Jun raised his hand and pointed towards the warehouse and said: "Let's pull it out and carry it up."
"Ah?" Li Baoyu was stunned and asked quickly: "Brother, what are you doing with that big cage?"
Zhao Jun glanced at the west room of Li's house and could see Li Ruhai sitting on the kang through the glass, gesticulating and talking to his parents.
Zhao Jun smiled lightly and said: "If someone is willing to help us raise him, we will catch him."
"Ah?" Li Baoyu probably understood that his brother was going to trick his younger brother, but he was more excited than Zhao Jun. He rushed to the warehouse in two steps, moved the large iron cage standing on one side out, and moved it back to the other side.
Said: "Brother, I can fix it myself without you."
Hearing what he said, Zhao Jun really didn't reach out. But when Li Baoyu moved the cage to the door, Zhao Jun held the door for him, allowing Li Baoyu to get out smoothly.
When passing by Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu suddenly stopped and asked: "Brother, that gray dog is quite smart, how should we catch it?"
