It’s good to stay at home for a thousand days, but it’s hard to go out for one day.
The morning after arriving at the Yongxing Brigade, Li Wencai steamed steamed buns and cooked cabbage soup for Zhao Jun and others.
Logically speaking, this is normal farm food, and this is what most people eat.
But is the Zhao Jun family an ordinary family?
When his family makes steamed steamed buns, they add fried bean noodles to the cornmeal and stew the cabbage soup. If it is stewed ten times, there will be meat at least eight times.
But the steamed buns made by Lao Litou are made from pure corn flour, and the residue falls off when you bite them. The cabbage soup is also pure cabbage soup, even with less oil.
Not to mention Zhao Jun, even Jie Chen, who was greedy at Zhao Jun's house, was not used to eating this.
But this is not because Old Li is treating them lightly. This old man came from a hard time and feels that it would be good to eat this.
If it weren't for entertaining them, Li Wencai wouldn't even know how to make cabbage soup in the morning. He would cut some pickles himself and eat them with steamed buns.
But Zhao Jun was not picky about food, so he treated it like eating Yiku rice, and he didn't eat less.
While they were eating, Lao Li washed the pot and boiled water, then brought in a big melon from outside, cut it into large pieces and boiled it in the big pot.
The melons and potatoes were common dishes in the Northeast at this time. The big melons weighed more than ten kilograms, but they were cooked within a short time of being put in the pot. Li Wencai used a big spoon to mash the melons in the pot and cooked them like
So-so.
Li Wencai poured out half of the melon paste and left half in the big pot, so that it could cool down faster.
After Zhao Jun and the others finished eating, they took half of the nest of melons and went out to feed the dogs.
It's not like being at home here. There aren't many dog food bowls here. However, when the production team used to raise deer, they built a circle in the northeast corner of the compound. There were ready-made deer food troughs. Li Wencai got up early and dug them out. It was just right.
Feed it to the dog.
After opening the two shed doors, the dog, which had been locked up all night, jumped out impatiently, playing around and peeing.
The only black tiger came to the food trough with its head shaking. Before the other dogs came, it licked two mouthfuls of the melon and then went to the big tree in the yard to raise its legs and release water.
After the hunting dogs finished eating, Zhao Jun called Zhang Yuanmin and his ministers to lock the dogs back into the shed, then locked the door of the shed before going back to the house to change clothes and carry the gun.
Dressed neatly, they greeted Li Wencai, came out of the guest house courtyard, and left the Yongxing brigade in a car.
Thirty-five or six miles away, the Jiefang brand car arrived in nearly forty minutes. Zhao Jun and the others got off the car, entered the mountain field and went straight to the place where Zhao Jun laid the yellow leaf trap yesterday.
Walking along the stream, not far away, I saw a yellow thing hanging on the fallen log in front of me.
When you look at it from a distance, it looks like dried tobacco leaves or corn leaves, so it is called yellow leaves, which is not bad at all.
"Brother, don't come down!" Zhang Yuanmin said to Zhao Jun, who went into the water alone with his boots on.
Arriving in front of the fallen tree, Zhang Yuanmin stretched out his hands, holding the back of Huang Yezi's neck with his right hand and Huang Yezi's waist with his left hand, turning it back, and then shouted to Zhao Jun on the shore: "Brother, it's a mother and son." p>
"Anything is fine." Zhao Jun said, "Brother, just give it a hand and pick it off."
Yu Xuewen said he wanted yellow leaves, and there was no requirement for male or female. Just get three of them and make a deal with him.
Picking off the skins of yellow leaves, greyhounds, and sables is different from picking off the skins of wild boars, black bears, and roe deer. You can skin large prey and just put it on the ground.
But small prey like yellow leaves need to be fixed. So when people pick up yellow leaves, they tie a rope around its neck and hang it on a fence or a nail behind a door.
At this time, the yellow leaves are just hanging on the fallen wood, so peeling them off is easy and hassle-free.
Zhang Yuanmin agreed and took out a hand-length knife from his trouser pocket. Such a short knife is specially used for peeling skin.
Zhang Yuanmin once made a deerskin knife for Zhao Jun, and his own knife was left by his father, and the handle was made of Zandahan leather.
Zhang Yuanmin's father was also a good man back then. It is said that Mr. Zhang even traveled to the Greater and Lesser Khingan Mountains and made a name for himself there.
When Li Ruhai came back, he said that when he heard the villagers recount the past events, it seemed that Mr. Zhang’s nickname was not very positive either. It was either Tiger or Biao.
But one thing that cannot be denied is that Zhang Yuanmin's hands-on ability is very strong. He was able to peel off the skin of a yellow leaf in three strokes.
He rolled the yellow leaf skin into a tube and put it in his pocket, then turned around and shouted to Zhao Jun from a distance: "Brother, what should we do with this?"
"Take off the condom and cut off the wooden pegs. Don't delay other people's walk." Although Zhao Jun said this, he actually didn't want people to see how he took off the condom.
The yellow leaf trap and the can can trap are secrets. Zhao Jun didn't want outsiders to learn them, otherwise he wouldn't have arranged them so far away from the Yongxing brigade.
Zhang Yuanmin listened to Zhao Jun's instructions, took off the yellow leaf meat from the sleeve, threw it into the grass on the shore.
Put the cover in water to rinse, shake the water and put it in your shoulder bag. This cover can be recycled, but the fallen wood is stained with the bloody smell of yellow leaves. If any yellow leaves pass by, they will not go to the fallen wood. Then, Zhang Yuanmin followed Zhao Jun's instructions and used the knife in his hand to cut off all the wooden sticks standing on the fallen wood.
After finishing this, Zhang Yuanmin went ashore and walked along the stream with Zhao Jun and his ministers.
Yesterday, five traps were laid, two of which were triggered, and two yellow leaves were hung, one male and one female. They were both skinned by Zhang Yuanmin, and the skins were put into a shoulder bag. The three of them came down from the mountain and walked to the opposite mountain.
.
When we arrived at the place where we caught feet yesterday, we heard a roe deer barking far away.
It’s not the first time, I have experience.
Jie Chen took out a rope from his pocket, and Zhang Yuanmin chopped a stick. Zhao Jun walked not far forward when he saw a big male roe deer lying on the ground and wailing.
The big roe deer stepped on the catch's foot, walked forward, and took the catch's foot out of the soil. But the catch's foot was put on the foot, and the big roe deer fell down after only a few steps.
It's like buying domestic pet dogs. If you buy them the kind of shoes that dogs wear, the first few times you wear them, the puppies won't be able to walk.
Moreover, roe deer are hoofed animals. They use their toes to support their bodies, so when one hoof cannot touch the ground, they cannot walk.
This is the power of cans, they are small and exquisite and more practical.
Get a set of ropes, wipe the head and tie the hooves, tie up the four hooves of the big roe deer, and pierce the middle with a stick, you will get one hundred yuan!
Zhao Jun carried his gun in front, Zhang Yuanmin and his ministers carried the roe deer. The three of them came down from the mountain, threw the roe deer into the car, and returned to the Yongxing Brigade.
More than forty minutes later, the car returned to the Yongxing brigade. Zhao Jun wanted to drive the car to the brigade headquarters and hand over the roe deer and yellow leaf skin to Yu Xuewen. Those who should be exchanged for money should be exchanged for money, and those who should be exchanged for favors should be exchanged for favors. p>
"Hey! Hi!" Not long after the car entered the village, he saw Tao Fulin standing on the side of the road waving.
When the car stopped, Zhao Jun and Zhang Yuanmin got out of the passenger seat and asked the old man, "Old man, what are you doing here?"
"I have nothing to do. I came out to see who picked up pine cones. I'll give it to the greyhound... eh?" Before Tao Fulin could finish his words, he heard the roe deer on the back of the car "squeaking, squeaking".
Stop, the old man walked over in two steps, stood on tiptoes and peeked in through the barrier. He turned around and said to Zhao Jun: "Boy Zhao, when did you fix this?"
Zhao Jun and the others left Yong'an Village at seven o'clock. They went there in forty minutes and returned in forty minutes. They went up the mountain and crossed the stream to pick up yellow leaves and tie up roe deer. It was only about eleven o'clock now.
Boss Lao Tao didn't know that Zhao Jun had used a heel trap yesterday, and he was still wondering how Zhao Jun could kill a roe deer in the morning?
Still alive!
"Just fixed it." Zhao Jun replied with a smile: "I happened to meet him and he caught it."
"Ah?" The old man looked at Zhao Jun suspiciously. Tao Fulin didn't believe what Zhao Jun said at all, but he could only say: "Don't forget, come home for dinner tonight."
"I can't forget it." Seeing that Tao Fulin was about to leave, Zhao Jun hurriedly asked, "Old man, how about you get in the car and take you home first?"
"No need!" The old man waved his hand and said, "The little gray dog you gave me yesterday was quite fun. But I don't have anything to feed it at home. If I feed it sand fruits, it always pees."
Zhao Jun heard this and said with a smile: "Then you have to feed it something dry. It can't do anything but eat Shaguo."
"Yeah." Tao Fulin pointed forward and said, "You guys go ahead. I'll go up and take a look. There's a pine tree tower picker. I want to feed it."
"Okay, then slow down." Zhao Jun warned, and then got in the car with Zhang Yuanmin. With the identity of this old man, no matter who he asks for the pine cone, no one will refuse him.
So Zhao Jun ignored him and asked Jiechen to drive straight to the brigade headquarters.
When the bus arrived at the brigade, Yu Xuewen came out of it. He poured the remaining overnight tea in the big teapot under the roots of the willow tree. Hearing the movement of the car, Yu Xuewen was a little strange.
But when the car stopped and only the roe deer was heard calling, Yu Xuewen was very surprised.
It's not even twelve o'clock yet, but to catch a big roe deer in one morning is really impressive.
But what surprises Yu Xuewen is yet to come.
"Secretary Yu!" Zhao Jun, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen all got out of the car. Zhao Jun said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Brother, give the leather to Secretary Yu and bring it back."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yuanmin hurriedly took out a roll of yellow leaf bark from his shoulder bag and handed it to Zhao Jun, and then he went to take out the second one.
"This... so fast?" Yu Xuewen was really shocked. Not only did he catch a big roe deer in the morning, he also helped him beat up the yellow leaves. This young man is so capable!
Zhao Jun showed the rolled leather in his hand and said to Xuewen: "Secretary Yu, this is a male. The leather is not as good as it will be after winter, and the hair tube will not be as good as after heavy snow."
"Oops!" Yu Xuewen took the leather from Zhao Jun's hand, took a look at it, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Zhao Jun, this is difficult enough. How many people have I entrusted it to?
It can’t be fixed.”
Speaking of this, Yu Xuewen took the leather in one hand and said to Zhao Jun: "Quick, come, come into the room to talk."
Zhao Jun smiled, took another roll of leather from Zhang Yuanmin, and then told Zhang Yuanmin and Xie Chen: "Brother, you and Xie Chen will help Secretary Yu carry it down for the roe deer."
"Hey." Zhang Yuanmin and his ministers obeyed, and Zhao Jun followed Yu Xuewen into the main army.
At this time, Yu Xuewen was even more surprised when he saw another roll of yellow leaf bark in Zhao Jun's hand, "How about two?"
"Yeah." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "There is still one left, I can get it back tomorrow."
Yu Xuewen took a deep look at Zhao Jun, then took the rolled yellow leaf skin from Zhao Jun's hand, unfolded it, and stacked the two skins together.
"Secretary Yu." Zhao Jun said from the side: "This one is from mother and son, it's not as good as the one just now."
"It's okay." Yu Xuewen said: "These two yellow leaves are asked for by an old friend of mine, and they are not a matter for the team. As for the money, I will give it to you personally, regardless of whether it is a male or a female. I will give it to you."
Ten yuan a piece."
"Ouch!" Zhao Jun said hurriedly: "Secretary Yu, how can I ask for your money? This is considered a gift from me."
Forty yuan for a yellow leaf is not as valuable as Yu Xuewen's favor.
I think back then, Yu Xuewen helped Zhao Jun get potassium aluminum cyanate with just one word. Otherwise, it would have been really hard for Zhao Jun to get that thing.
This relationship must be maintained.
"That's not possible." Yu Xuewen said in an unquestionable tone: "The money must be given to you. You have helped me a lot. How can I still make you suffer?"
Yu Xuewen is also very particular about people, and he understands what he said just now. Huang Yezi must give money. Not only does he give money, but he also remembers Zhao Jun's love.
Zhao Jun understood what Yu Xuewen meant, but said: "Secretary Yu, if you want to give money, you can't give that much. In the spring of this year, the store at the foot of the mountain will collect the best yellow leaves, which cost only thirty-five dollars each. This
At that time, the yellow leaf leather board and the hair tube were not good, I will give you three, you just give me fifty yuan."
"Fifty...isn't that too little?" Yu Xuewen couldn't help frowning when he heard this. When he asked for help before, he specifically inquired. Knowing that Huang Yezi cost thirty yuan a piece, in order not to let Zhao
The army suffered a loss, so he set the price of forty yuan for a yellow leaf.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At this time, after listening to Zhao Jun's words, Yu Xuewen knew that the price of these yellow leaves fluctuated, but it was not like a total of 50 yuan for three leaves.
Yu Xuewen knew that this was the price of friendship given by Zhao Jun, but it was not in line with his behavior.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun hurriedly said: "Secretary Yu, you helped me sort potassium and aluminum cyanate before. I'm very happy that I can help you a little. Besides, this yellow leaf is something from the mountains.
, I don’t mean to sell it for money, just three of them will cost fifty yuan.”
"Okay." After hearing what Zhao Jun said, Yu Xuewen smiled lightly and agreed, but said: "I don't have any money in my pocket now. Can't you stay at the guest house this afternoon? I'll give it to you."
"No need to give it away." When Zhao Jun heard this, he hurriedly said: "Isn't there still one missing piece? I'll give it to you when it's ready."
"That's okay." Yu Xuewen was very happy now that he had solved a big problem. He pointed outside the house and smiled at Zhao Jun: "That roe deer's money will be settled for you when you leave. That
It doesn’t matter if the team pays for it.”
"It's definitely not bad." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "With you and Uncle Tao here, what should I be afraid of?"
Yu Xuewen laughed, and Zhao Jun immediately thought of something and asked Yu Xuewen: "Secretary Yu, it stands to reason that all the villages in our brigade must have yellow leaves, so we shouldn't go to such trouble."
Yellow leaves are not only placed in the mountains, but also in the wild. They also wander around the village, stealing chickens, ducks, and catching mice.
These days, in order to protect food, many people use rat poison. And these poisoned rats have become a food source for Huang Ye.
But those dead mice are poisonous. If you eat them, the yellow leaves will also be poisoned.
The cortex of yellow leaves that died of poisoning will not be affected. Could it be that such a big Yongxing brigade didn’t pick up dead yellow leaves?
When Yu Xuewen heard Zhao Jun's words, he narrowed his eyes and frowned slightly, as if he was recalling the past. Then he raised his head slightly and said: "Nine years ago, right? Our fifth team was surrounded by Huang Ye. No more moves, I will
The cannon was pulled out and two cannons were fired. After that, our hunter team did nothing but left the team to shoot yellow leaves for half a year, and then there were no more!"
