Chu Xiangqian can only say that he can play chess.
The level is indeed so good that I didn’t even touch the edges.
After the game, Chu Qianqian looked helplessly at Old Man Chen.
He secretly said that this old guy is really a dog. After clearly eating his own carriage, horse and cannon, he should have won long ago.
But he had to eat his pieces one by one before he would die.
Chu Xiangqian's temper also increased and he placed the chess pieces again.
This time he was not in a hurry to kill the enemy, he just focused on defending first.
For a person whose physical strength is 3.8 times that of ordinary people, his thinking ability is definitely much better than that of Old Man Chen.
Sure enough, Old Man Chen felt extremely uncomfortable in this game.
We are always faced with the situation of having to exchange money with Chu Xiangqian.
Although he won in the end, Old Chen no longer dared to underestimate Chu Xiangqian.
Just as he was planning to play another game, Xie Zhende had already returned with the money and purchase receipts.
Looking at the purchase order, not only is there a purchase task for 100 bamboo baskets, but there are also purchase receipts for 47 pounds of pheasants, hares, and 21 pounds of fish.
With this document in hand, waiting for the fish and meat to be delivered to the steel rolling mill today is official business.
After receiving the 48 yuan and 30 cents, Chu Xiangqian put it directly into his pocket. He smiled and thanked Zhende and said, "Director, I will go back to the mountains at noon.
I heard an old hunter say that he encountered a herd of deer yesterday. If he is lucky, he should be able to get one or two sika deer this week."
Both Xie Zhende and Master Chen looked happy.
But I heard Chu Xiangqian continue to say, "However, the other party wants to keep the deer antlers and deer whip to make wine for himself."
"How can that be done?" Xie Zhende suddenly became anxious, "Go ahead, tell the hunter that not only will we bid for the deer antlers separately, but the deer blood, deer whip, and even the deer skin will all be given to him at the market price."
Chu Qianqian was overjoyed and asked, pretending to be thinking, "Then you give me a price first so I can talk to him. And don't lower the price, lest it be sold to other people who come into the mountain to buy it."
Xie Zhende was immediately blinded. He knew that the wild deer was a treasure, but he really didn't know what the price was.
"Let's go to Tongrentang and ask. I'll give you whatever the old master there says. This is better than what those people who go into the mountain to buy will inevitably lower the price."
Chu Xiangqian had nothing to say now.
The two of them said hello to Master Chen, got on their bicycles and left.
I arrived at the place twenty minutes later and found out not only the prices of deer antlers and deer penis, but also the prices of wild boar belly, tiger penis, tiger bones, and bear bile.
Probably because there have been state-run breeding farms for sika deer for a long time, the price is not high.
Moreover, deer antlers are also divided into grades and grades, so there are many ways to do it.
According to the old chef, first-class fresh velvet antler costs 200 per pound, and processed velvet antler slices are even more expensive.
The poor velvet antler can even cost 20 yuan per pound and not many people want it.
Deer blood must be from a live deer, and those who are particular will only take the blood between the deer’s head and antlers.
If you want to make your own dried deer blood, the experienced Chinese medicine practitioners will not even bother you, let alone teach you how to make it.
After leaving the big drugstore with Xie Zhende, Xie Zhende also knew that Chu Xiangqian was not a fool.
"Go ahead, forget about the velvet antler. If you really need it, I'll buy it from you alone. Don't add velvet antler to the factory's procurement to avoid trouble."
Chu Xiangqian nodded with understanding. The price difference of these deer antlers was really too big.
If it doesn't work well, some people will say that Xie Zhende is seeking personal gain from it.
It is even clear that what you purchased is a first-class product, but once this thing is used by the leaders of the factory, from now on others will say that you have enriched your own pockets, and you don't even know how to explain it.
"We charge venison at two yuan per pound. For the rest," Xie Zhende thought for a while, "I'll ask the leader if you want it.
However, I can’t guarantee this. If the leaders don’t need it, just let those who come into the mountain to buy it take it away.”
After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes inwardly.
Fortunately, it is in a static state in the warehouse, and the velvet antlers will not deteriorate if left there.
There is always a chance to sell it in the future.
On the contrary, the transaction with the steel rolling mill is the same as Xie Zhende's concerns. It is better to have clear accounts and be more clear.
And if you think about it carefully, if the leader of the steel rolling mill really needs deer antler, he will go to a large pharmacy to buy it.
However, Xie Zhende whispered, "Leave me a pair of deer whips and I'll buy them for myself for 50 yuan. How about that?"
The price was higher than that offered by the senior chef at the big pharmacy, so Chu Xiangqian had no reason not to agree.
"Okay," Chu Qianqian nodded, "I'll go into the mountains the day after tomorrow. As long as the old hunter gets the sika deer, I'll beg for nothing to get it back for you.
If he doesn't get the wild deer, I will spend money to buy the location of the group of wild deer and go into the mountains to hunt them myself."
Xie Zhende hurriedly patted Chu Qianqian's arm, "Thank you, brother will not let you suffer."
Chu Qianqian was secretly happy, but he waved his hands, "No, we just follow the rules. Don't make mistakes just for a little money, and the gains outweigh the losses.
We will spend more time together in the future, so we have to take a longer-term view."
Xie Zhende immediately raised his evaluation of Chu Xiangqian by several levels.
"Okay, we brothers will move around more in the future."
Chu Qianqian nodded quickly and watched Xie Zhende ride his bicycle away.
I just rode my bicycle to the neighborhood committee.
Director Wang, who received 50 kilograms of frozen fresh fish, now truly regarded Chu Qianqian as his nephew.
After giving Chu Xiangqian 15 yuan, he whispered, "My youngest son will get married in the next year. Xiao Chu, please come to my house to help me when you have time."
Chu Qianqian nodded immediately, "Then I must go."
Then he whispered to Director Wang, "Aunt Wang, please don't say that I sent these 50 kilograms of fish, otherwise my section chief and the street director will hear it. I will be punished."
"Don't worry," Director Wang said with a smile, "Didn't you see that it's just you, Aunt Wang, and I will receive you this time? In order to avoid getting you into trouble.
Besides, there are many people fishing on the ice in various rivers in the city and outside the city every day. Your 50-pound fish is inconspicuous."
Chu Qianqian nodded with relief.
In fact, I am not afraid that the subdistrict director and section chief will know about this. Anyway, as long as the monthly procurement tasks are completed, the subdistrict director and section chief can't say anything.
But it would be best to keep the news in a small circle of very few people.
-----
After leaving the neighborhood committee, I looked at my watch and saw that it was already 4:30.
Chu Xiangqian was about to ride back to the courtyard when he suddenly thought of his appointment with Xue Jianguo yesterday to go fishing together at the Yuhe River at 3 o'clock.
Busy U-Turn.
When I arrived at the Yuhe River, I stood on the embankment and glanced around, and soon I saw Xue Jianguo sitting on a horse fishing.
Chu Qianqian locked his bicycle, quickly walked down the river embankment, arrived in front of Xue Jianguo, and sat down on the ice.
He complained, "Hey, I've been really unlucky these past two days. When I returned to the street yesterday morning, I was forced by the section chief to go to the mountains.
After I got back a silly roe deer this morning, I wanted to go back and have a good sleep.
I didn’t expect that Director Xie, the logistics manager of the steel rolling mill, was born in the year of the dog. I just slept for two or three hours today when he came to my house and blocked the door.
If he insists, I can get some pheasants and hares for him.
I have been busy until now, and I just have time to come here."
After saying that, he looked at Xue Jianguo and asked, "Second brother, do you have anything to eat? I've been tired for a day and haven't eaten lunch. I'm really hungry."
Xue Jianguo was originally unhappy because Chu Xiangqian came late. But after hearing what Chu Xiangqian said, he not only lost all his anger, but also sympathized with him.
With the fishing rod still in his hand, he pulled Chu forward and said, "Let's go, let's take you to a small restaurant for a meal."
Chu Xiangqian was secretly happy that Xue Jianguo was easy to fool.
But seeing that he even threw away his fishing rod, we knew that he must not have caught even half of the fish in the whole afternoon.
After thinking for a while, he cried out, "Second brother, let me have a rest. You go and get me some hot dishes and rice. I'll help you catch two fish and give them to our girl to try. How about that?"
When Xue Jianguo heard this, he couldn't help but think of the two big fish that his old man and Chu Xiangqian brought home when they were fishing together a few days ago.
He nodded hurriedly, "Okay, then you fish here and I'll find you something to eat."
This made Chu Xiangqian feel a little embarrassed.
This man is too honest.
Watching Xue Jianguo run up the river embankment and ride away on his bicycle, Chu Qianqian picked up the fishing rod and hung half a chicken heart on it.
I also put some offal offal left over from handling wild boars, pheasants, and hares into the ice cave to make a nest.
A few minutes later, the fishing rod sank, and Chu Qianqian instantly felt that the fish was quite big.
He quickly grabbed the fishing line and forcibly pulled the fish up.
Because you can often fish in the middle of the river during ice cave fishing, the fishing rod is not long. You can wear gloves and hold the fishing line to forcefully lift the fish.
I saw a carp that was longer than my arm and weighed at least 8 or 9 pounds, jumping on the ice.
Many people around looked over with envious expressions on their faces.
Chu stepped forward, grabbed the fish, and threw it onto the ice. The carp stopped moving after a while.
I went into the ice cave again and picked up some offal. As soon as I put the fishhook into the water, I saw a middle-aged man walking over.
Squatting next to the ice hole, he asked softly, "Comrade, do you want to change this fish?"
Chu glanced at him forward and saw that his hands were fairly fair, he was wearing old-fashioned cashmere leather boots, and he was wearing myopia glasses with plastic frames.
These days, the output of plastics around the world is extremely low, and the price is naturally very expensive.
I immediately concluded that this guy was not short of money.
However, Chu Xiangqian now not only does business in the streets, neighborhood committees, and steel rolling mills, but also just made a large deal with Gong Changqing and his group.
I don’t look down on sporadic transactions at all, and I don’t want to be caught out just because of a few dollars.
"Sorry, although I caught this fish, I caught it for a friend."
The middle-aged man shook his head regretfully, "What a pity, I haven't seen such a big carp for many years."
Chu Qianqian curled his lips and thought to himself, it's a pity for you, what does it have to do with me?
Just as I was thinking about it, the fishing rod in my hand suddenly moved.
Chu Xiangqian subconsciously reached out to grab the fishing line and lifted it up sharply.
A snakehead fish weighing five to six pounds was lifted out and landed on the ice.
The middle-aged man looked at it dumbfounded.
Secretly thinking, this guy is so lucky?
"Little comrade, how about I give you 5 pounds of food stamps in exchange for this snakehead fish?"
Chu Xiangqian cursed in his heart: Why is this man so blind?
But he said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I'll tell you clearly, I am a fish who respects my future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law."
The middle-aged man's face froze. He didn't expect that this kid would come up with such a reason just to get rid of him.
But after I felt unhappy, I didn’t have the nerve to stay.
I can only sigh and leave.
What Chu Xiangqian didn't know was that when the man got on the river embankment, he happened to meet Xue Jianguo who was buying food.
"Xiao Xue, what are you doing?"
Xue Jianguo saw the person coming clearly and saluted quickly, "Uncle Cathay, why are you here?"
Qian Guotai smiled and waved his hand, "My family lives nearby, and now I have nothing to do, so I naturally wander around."
Only then did Xue Jianguo remember that the family friend in front of him had just returned from abroad for less than half a month and was on vacation.
Pointing to Chu Qianqian on the ice, he said, "My colleagues and I have nothing to do after get off work, so we came here to try our luck. We want to catch a fish or two and go back to replenish our family's health."
Qian Guotai followed Xue Jianguo's fingers and soon realized that what Xue Jianguo was talking about was the young man he had just met.
I remember Chu Xiangqian saying that the fish he caught were for his father-in-law.
He couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is this guy your sister Lanlan's blind date?"
Xue Jianguo was stunned, but said without concealing it, "My family and I both have this intention, but you also know something about Lanlan's situation.
So I plan to take this matter slowly and figure it out.
Let him and Lan Lan meet again when the opportunity is right.
Even if it fails by then, it won’t be embarrassing.
However, I did have a good chat with Xiang Qiang."
Qian Guotai smiled and nodded. The dissatisfaction that Chu Xiangqian refused to sell several times before turned into a compliment to Chu Xiangqian because of Xue Jinglan.
"That guy is indeed a nice guy. He is cautious and quick-thinking. He is indeed a good guy.
And within ten minutes, he caught a carp weighing 8 or 9 pounds and a snakehead fish weighing 5 or 6 pounds. If Lan Lan becomes friends with him in the future, at least she will not be short of food."
Xue Jianguo nodded with great joy, "Qiang Qian is really good at fishing. Last time my grandfather and grandpa went fishing with Qian Qian and caught a total of forty or fifty kilograms of fish."
Qian Guotai was surprised, "It doesn't look like luck, but that you really have the ability."
Xue Jianguo was busy showing off and praised Chu Qianqian. By the way, he also told him about killing a bear and several wild boars by himself.
Qian Guotai's eyes lit up.
But after a few seconds, he shook his head again, secretly thinking that he should forget it.
So as not to affect Xue Jinglan’s marriage.
Besides, there are many people who are better than this young man, so there is no need to choose him.
After saying hello to Xue Jianguo, Qian Guotai walked slowly away with his hands behind his back.
Xue Jianguo frowned and looked at Qian Guotai's back for a while, then walked to Chu Xiangqian with some worry.
He handed the aluminum lunch box to Chu Qianqian and couldn't help but swallow as he watched him gobble it up.
After Chu Qianqian finished a box of rice and a box of fried cabbage, he asked, "Qianqian, did a man with glasses get close to you just now?"
Chu Xiangqian felt nervous, nodded quickly and said, "Second brother, does that person have a problem?"
Xue Jianguo shook his head, "We must be our own people, but what Qian Guotai did is not necessarily a good thing for us."
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he guessed that the person named Qian Guotai just now must have done something unusual.
