Chapter 1430 Zhao Youcai: How much do I sell the bear gall for?
Zhao Youcai's face turned pale and his teeth clenched. It was only in front of Lin Xue that Zhao Youcai managed not to swear.
"Cut it!" Zhao Youcai looked at Lin Xue, who shook her head and said, "Brother-in-law, how dare I cut it?"
Zhao Youcai twitched his lips, and then he heard Lin Xue continue to say: "Brother-in-law, I tell you where to cut, and you cut there."
Zhao Youcai heard this and turned to look at the people around him. Seeing Zhao Youcai looking at him, Li Dayong volunteered, "Brother, I'll cut it."
"You can't." Zhao Youcai said, "This dog just got home. If you deal with it, it won't be close to you when you go up the mountain next time."
As he spoke, Zhao Youcai's eyes fell on Wang Qiang and said, "Qiangzi, cut it."
"I won't cut it." Wang Qiang twisted his body, put his hands in his sleeves, and said unhappily: "You want me to offend people... no, offend dogs."
Just as Wang Qiang finished speaking, the door of Zhao's house opened, and Wang Meilan pushed the door open and shouted, "What's going on?"
Hearing Wang Meilan's voice, Zhao Youcai's eyes lit up and he turned around and shouted, "Lan, come here."
"What are you doing?" Wang Meilan walked over quickly and saw Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun pinning the red-haired hound to the ground. The red-haired hound kept making whining sounds. Wang Meilan pointed at the dog and asked, "What's going on? Is it going to bite anyone?"
"What do you mean by biting people?" Zhao Youcai said, "Its tail was bitten off. Xiaoyun's mother said to cut it off."
"Ah?" Wang Meilan was surprised and asked, "Why is it bitten like this? Who bit it?"
"That wicked thing!" Zhao Youcai pointed to the doghouse under the east window. Wang Meilan saw this and quickly held Zhao Youcai's arm down, saying, "Quick, take a look at what to do with this dog? Can you give him an anti-inflammatory shot if you have one?"
"Sister, please find the medicine first." Lin Xue followed Li Dazhi and called Wang Meilan sister. Hearing her say that, Wang Meilan responded and was about to go back to the house, but was stopped by Zhao Youcai.
"Lan!" Zhao Youcai held Wang Meilan's arm with one hand and pointed at the red-haired hound with the other, saying, "Cut off its tail."
"Ah?" Wang Meilan's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Me?"
……
Five minutes later, the red-haired hunting dog's four legs were tied to a log and carried into the Zhao family.
At Zhao Youcai's urging, Wang Qiang put the rag into the red-haired hunting dog's mouth.
Zhao Ling lit a candle, and Xie Sun took the large scissors that they had used to make cotton-padded jackets and cut cloth and repeatedly heated them over the candle flame to disinfect them.
Jin Xiaomei crushed the pain-relieving tablets with a rolling pin, and Wang Meilan went into the house and found the heart-treating medicine Xing San had given her the year before. The medicine contained special ingredients that had a miraculous effect in relieving pain.
After Zhao Youcai took the medicine, he poured out more than ten pills and stuffed them into the red-haired hunting dog's mouth.
In the west room, Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen were eating hand-rolled noodles with meat sauce. They didn't need to worry about what was happening outside.
Zhang Yuanmin watched the excitement at the door for a while, then returned to sit on the edge of the kang, and said to Li Baoyu and Jie Chen with a smile: "Baoyu, Xiaochen, do you think that dog looks like Pei Yuanshao robbing Zhao Yun's horse?"
Hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, Li Baoyu and Xie Chen were both happy. Zhao Jun, who was slurping noodles, looked up at Zhang Yuanmin and thought, why did my big brother Zhang only ask them and not me? But... who are Pei Yuanshao and Zhao Yunma?
"Come on!" In the outer room, Wang Meilan rolled up her sleeves. As soon as she raised her hand, Xie Sun handed the big scissors to her.
Wang Meilan took a pair of big scissors and came behind the red-haired hunting dog.
At this time, Lin Xue squatted there, pointed at a bloody spot in the middle of the red-haired hound's tail, and said, "Sister, cut from here."
Wang Meilan took a look, then stretched her neck to look at the red-haired hound that rolled its eyes upwards, and said, "I'm saving you. If I don't twist your tail, you'll get inflamed and die."
The red-haired hunting dog probably didn't understand, but Wang Meilan didn't care about that. This wasn't abusing the dog; this was saving the dog!
As Wang Meilan cut with the scissors, the tied red-haired hunting dog tensed up all over, then began to shiver, and whimpering sounds came from its strangled mouth.
At this time, Xu Chunyan and Yang Yufeng poured cold water over the wound to clean it. When Lin Xue saw the wound on the red hound's tail, she said to Wang Meilan, "No, sister, you have to cut it up a little more."
"Then why is it still being twisted?" Li Dazhi asked. Lin Xue raised her hand to gesture and said, "This bone was broken by Tiger in the middle. If the remaining half was not left intact, it would have to rot inside again after the wound closed."
……
The red hound suffered a great deal that night.
By the time we had treated and bandaged the red-haired dog's wound, it was already past half past eleven.
Li Dazhi and Jie Chen lifted the red-haired hunting dog onto the trunk of the Jiefang truck. Jie Chen then drove the car while Lin Xue and Li Dazhi, holding penicillin, squeezed into the passenger seat. The other diners walked home one after another.
Since arriving in Yong'antun, Xie Chen and Xie Sun have been living in the old lady's house. The house they bought has become a sanatorium for the Zhao family's gang.
The young tiger that had its ear scratched and the little bear that was feeding its puppies after giving birth were both placed in the same home.
Now that the red-haired hunting dog had arrived again, Xie Chen brought the green tiger to the west room to live with the little bear and his mother, and then arranged the red-haired hunting dog alone in the east room.
Just as Lin Xue was about to give the red hound an injection, Xie Chen suddenly thought of something and asked Lin Xue, "Sixth Aunt, are there any dogs that are allergic to penicillin?"
"Yes!" Lin Xue responded, and then poked a needle into the base of the red-haired hunting dog's tail.
……
After a day of running around, Zhao Jun was tired. After the guests left, he quickly washed up and lay down on the kang and fell asleep.
He slept until six o'clock the next morning. It was only when he heard a cough in the outer room that Zhao Jun opened his eyes.
After getting up, Zhao Jun put on his clothes, got off the kang and walked out of the room. Wang Meilan, who was rolling out dough, saw him coming out and asked in a bad tone, "Did your father wake you up with his cough?"
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai, who was pinching the folds of the buns next to him, looked at Zhao Jun. His little eyes seemed to be able to speak, conveying information to Zhao Jun.
"No, no." Zhao Jun said, "I woke up by myself."
Wang Meilan turned back and glared at Zhao Youcai fiercely. Zhao Youcai said unhappily, "Why are you looking at me like that? I cough, I am willing to do it."
"Can't you cover your mouth?" Wang Meilan asked, "You know you should cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze when you go up the mountain. Don't you know this?"
When hunting in the mountains and tracking prey, you must not make any sound. If you make any noise, the prey will be startled and will run away.
But most mountain runners have bad trachea because they run in the mountains in winter. When they want to cough or sneeze and can't help it, they take off their hats to cover their mouths and noses, so that even if they cough or sneeze, they can cover up most of the noise.
Zhao Youcai told Wang Meilan a lot of this common sense when they were dating, so Wang Meilan is also considered an expert.
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai said unhappily, "Do you think I'm hunting?"
After saying this, Zhao Youcai pointed at Zhao Jun with a spoon and asked, "Is he a wild boar? Or a roe deer?"
Zhao Youcai has been getting more and more irritable lately staying at home. He feels that after being transferred to the forestry security post, he is not as good as before when he was cooking in the cafeteria.
When he was in the cafeteria, he had one day off a week, but after being transferred to another position, he couldn't rest until Sunday.
As for going up the mountain, if today is not counted, he has been at home for eleven days. In these eleven days, Zhao Youcai only went up the mountain one day. And that day, he was busy chasing the black tiger and didn't catch anything.
"I'll hit you there with a rolling pin!" After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan raised the rolling pin and gestured to Zhao Youcai.
Wang Meilan was still angry. Yesterday, Zhao Youcai forced her to cut the dog's tail, which made Wang Meilan very unhappy.
Seeing that the couple was not very happy, Zhao Jun did not intend to get involved. Just as he was about to go back to the house to fold the quilt, he saw Zhao Youcai looking up, pointing his chin towards him, and asked, "Are you at home today?"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was startled and said, "Dad, I'm not home today."
"You're not at home, what have you been doing?" Zhao Youcai frowned and asked, "You've been away for more than ten days, why don't you come home to rest when you come back?"
"Well..." Zhao Jun hesitated for a moment, then said, "After dinner, I'll report the bill to my mom, and then I'll go to Yongsheng."
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai asked. Zhao Jun pointed outside the house and said, "Bring back those shrimps and other things. I want to send some to my sister."
"Go ahead." Before Zhao Youcai could say anything, Wang Meilan said, "Send some to your sister, and then get some from your father-in-law's house."
"Hey, Mom, I understand." Zhao Jun just finished speaking when Wang Meilan continued, "Son, next Wednesday is the Little New Year, and our family hasn't prepared the New Year's goods yet."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned when he heard that, and said, "Mom, then I'll drive you to the street?"
After saying this, Zhao Jun smiled and pointed outside the window, saying, "Now we have our own big jeep, our own car. I'll take you into the city for a good stroll."
"There's no need to go into the city." Wang Meilan said, "Then go back and buy enough melon seeds, peanuts, candies, etc. What do I mean? You have nothing to do these few days, so go up to the mountains and buy some wild boars, roe deer, etc."
"Ah... OK." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Mom, I got it. I'll go into the mountains in the next two days to buy New Year's goods."
Listening to the mother and daughter chatting, Zhao Youcai felt bad and regretted that he should not have offended Wang Meilan just now.
But Zhao Youcai has a bad temper because he has been working at home these days and has brought in revenue for the Chamber of Commerce. In front of his son, he didn't say a soft word and just kept making buns.
Half an hour later, the buns came out of the pot, and the family of three sat on the kang in the west room to eat.
After dinner, Wang Meilan would make another pot, and the two little girls would get up just in time to eat the second pot.
At this time, Zhao Jun took a bite of the bun, looked up at Wang Meilan, and said, "Mom, pork filling?"
"Wild boar meat and green onions." Wang Meilan said so, Zhao Jun asked: "Did my uncle beat him?"
"Yeah!" Wang Meilan said, "yesterday morning your uncle went up the mountain and killed a yellow-haired pig and a year-old pig. He came back at noon and went to the store to find your uncle. After that, the two of them drove the sled up and pulled the two pigs back. We then stripped them."
Hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai pinched her with his eyelids.
Wang Meilan didn't see it, but continued to say to Zhao Jun: "Today is the beginning of spring, let's make bacon pancakes tonight."
Today is February 1988, 2, the beginning of spring.
According to local customs, people eat spring food on the day of the beginning of spring.
The so-called eating spring means eating spring pancakes and eating radishes.
"Well, OK." Zhao Jun responded, and then smiled and said, "My uncle is fine now. He will go up the mountain in the morning and come back at noon?"
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Wang Meilan also laughed and said, "Your uncle went there on a motorcycle, which is not fast."
At this time, Zhao Youcai finally couldn't help it. As he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up the bun, he said to Zhao Jun: "You will teach me how to ride a motorcycle tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was stunned and looked at Zhao Youcai without saying anything.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Youcai narrowed his eyes, and saw Zhao Jun frowning and said, "Dad, you can't even ride a bicycle, how can you ride a motorcycle?"
Strange to say!
Zhao Youcai has no problem climbing mountains and crossing rivers, so he should have no problem with athletic ability, but he just can't ride a bicycle.
Zhao Youcai did have the opportunity to learn. When everyone was eating from the same pot, the commune had two bicycles. When they were not busy, young people would practice riding on the commune's bicycles, and Zhao Youcai was no exception, but he just couldn't ride well.
"Why not?" Zhao Youcai asked, "If your uncle can ride it, why can't I?"
Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan looked at each other. Wang Meilan was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Youcai and just winked at Zhao Jun.
There are so many things going on at home, who has the time to argue with him all the time?
After dinner, Zhao Jun helped Wang Meilan clean up the table, while Zhao Youcai sat on the kang in the west room smoking and drinking tea. Wang Meilan was alone in the outer room making dumplings.
At this time, Zhao Youcai did not come to help, and Wang Meilan did not call him, because as long as it was past eight o'clock, Zhao Youcai had to go to work, so let him be free for a while.
While Wang Meilan was making dumplings, Zhao Jun took the account book and sat on a four-legged stool to give Wang Meilan a brief account report.
What Zhao Jun told Wang Meilan at this time was the prices of various mountain products in Hebei, so that Wang Meilan could have an idea.
As for dividends and profits, we will discuss it after dinner when the eight families sit together.
After listening to Zhao Jun's explanation of the prices of large skins, gray skins, and yellow leaves, Wang Meilan said, "That's all the stuff costs."
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said, "The gray skin and yellow leaves are not valuable, but the big skin is okay."
"Well, it's not that great." Wang Meilan responded, and then she heard Zhao Jun say, "Mom, remember that Shi Baofeng, can't you sell us those two white mink skins?"
"Why don't I remember? I spent so much money on it, how could I not remember it?" Wang Meilan said, "Son, you're the only one who didn't tell me. I wanted to ask you something. How much did you sell the two pieces of leather for?"
"Mom, guess." Zhao Jun wanted to give Wang Meilan a surprise. Wang Meilan thought for a moment and said, "Ten thousand?"
After Wang Meilan finished speaking, she saw Zhao Jun shaking his head and guessed, "Twelve thousand?"
Zhao Jun still shook his head, but then gave an answer, "Eighteen thousand."
"Oh my." Wang Meilan had seen money before. After a brief surprise, she sighed, "This thing is good, but it's too little."
"Not bad." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Mom, do we have something more valuable than this?"
"What?" Wang Meilan asked curiously, and then she heard Zhao Jun say, "Golden bear gall."
"How much does that thing cost?" Wang Meilan asked. Zhao Jun said, "Five thousand."
"That's fine." Wang Meilan thought the price of a golden bear gall was five thousand. Thinking back to when she bought bear gall from the mountain and sold it before, a copper gall was only more than four thousand per catty, and a golden gall weighing less than two taels could be sold for five thousand. Wang Meilan was really satisfied.
But the next second, I heard Zhao Jun say: "Mom, I mean one cent and five thousand, one tael and fifty thousand."
"What?" Wang Meilan was shocked, and at this moment a "ding-bang" sound came from the west room.
"This is just the starting price..." Just as Zhao Jun was saying this to Wang Meilan, Zhao Youcai came out of the house, interrupted Zhao Jun, and asked, "How much do I sell the bear gall for?"
