Chapter 1378 The Contemporary Shen Gongbao——Xing San
The Zhao family had a sumptuous meal in the morning.
Most people make fried pancakes, but Wang Meilan deep-fried them. There was nothing she could do, as she still had two jars of bear oil at home. If she didn't finish them in the spring, she would be hungry.
The large fried pancakes Wang Meilan makes cannot fit on regular serving plates and have to be placed on the dumpling lid.
A pile of fried cakes was placed on the table under a curtain, and Wang Meilan was busy cleaning the pot and cooking.
The newly bought rice cooker also came in handy, bubbling up some porridge.
Freshly fried egg sauce is spread on the pancake, followed by stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, stir-fried shredded potatoes with pickled cabbage, and stir-fried pork with green bean sprouts. Finally, shredded scallions are placed on top of the dishes.
When the pancake is rolled up like this, it becomes thicker than Xiao Zhoutao's arm.
No one used chopsticks, they just held the rolls with both hands and started eating. It was so delicious that several people's mouths were full of oil.
After taking two bites of the wrap, I lowered my head and drank a sip of the slightly hot porridge. It tasted so good.
After eating and drinking his fill, Zhao Youcai went to the outer room, took out dog food from the big pot, and carried the big basin out to feed the dog.
A while ago, Zhao Baotou spent the night in the mountains. After he was rescued, he was depressed for a few days. During those days, Zhao Youcai stopped working and stopped feeding his dog.
But it only took a few days, and then Zhao Youcai recovered on his own. In the past two or three days, that is, after returning from Hansong Fortress, Zhao Youcai rushed to feed the dog every morning, and he would feed it for more than 40 minutes.
He not only fed the dogs, but also tried to cultivate a relationship with the hunting dogs. Zhao Youcai's actions were seen by Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan. The mother and daughter knew that Zhao Youcai was restless again without any communication.
Wang Meilan stuffed the last bite of the biscuit into her mouth, picked up a piece of sauerkraut and potato shreds with chopsticks, and after she finished cleaning the porridge in the bowl with the vegetables, Wang Meilan put down the bowl and told Zhao Chun to look after the two children.
After putting on her cotton jacket, Wang Meilan left the house.
As soon as Wang Meilan got outside, she saw Zhao Youcai adding food to Qinglong's food bowl.
"Eat, Qinglong." Zhao Youcai brought the food bowl to Qinglong's mouth. Qinglong licked the food. Zhao Youcai took the opportunity to touch Qinglong's back twice and said with a smile, "Good dog."
After touching it a few more times, Zhao Youcai straightened up and saw Wang Meilan standing not far away.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Youcai said, "Go back. You are not needed here."
"I want to discuss something with you." When Wang Meilan said this, Zhao Youcai's face suddenly darkened and he asked, "What do you want to buy?"
"I'm not buying anything." Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "I'm thinking of talking to Jianjun and asking him to find me a job in the venue."
"What?" Zhao Youcai was stunned. He looked at Wang Meilan in surprise and asked, "What did you say? Say it again?"
It’s not that Zhao Youcai didn’t hear it clearly, he just didn’t believe that Wang Meilan could say that.
"I said..." Wang Meilan repeated, "Ask Jianjun to find me a job."
This time Zhao Youcai was sure. He looked at Wang Meilan and said, "Are you talking nonsense? You have so much trouble at home. Aren't these jobs enough for you to do? Besides, what can you do on the field?"
"Just assign me a job in your cafeteria." Wang Meilan said, "Cleaning, picking vegetables, those odd jobs, I can do them all."
"That's all bullshit!" Zhao Youcai knew that Wang Meilan said this entirely because of him.
"You're not kidding me?" Wang Meilan retorted to Zhao Youcai, "Keep quiet these few days and work hard. If you go up the mountain and show off again, don't say I'm watching you in the cafeteria."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Youcai glanced at Wang Meilan and pinched her eyelids to express his dissatisfaction.
"What did you roll your eyes over?" Wang Meilan said, "Your eyes are so small, even if I pinch half of them they are bigger than yours."
Zhao Youcai: "..."
"One day is not enough for you to brag." Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at Zhao Youcai and said, "Look at you, you eat well, wear good clothes, drink good wine, and smoke good cigarettes, but smoking costs more than a hundred yuan a month..."
At this point, Wang Meilan paused and suddenly asked, "Did you ask your son for money to buy cigarettes again yesterday?"
Zhao Youcai heard this and blurted out, "Little calf."
As soon as Zhao Youcai heard it, he knew it must be his eldest son who came to complain again.
Wang Meilan glared at Zhao Youcai again. In recent months, the family's living conditions have been quite good, and she doesn't have to worry about her son's marriage.
So, now Wang Meilan really does not restrict Zhao Youcai from spending or saving money.
Zhao Youcai smoked a pack of Shilin cigarettes that cost five yuan. The money he spent on cigarettes in one day was enough to cover the expenses of a family of four in Xishantun for a month.
Wang Meilan was not afraid of Zhao Youcai spending or saving money, but she was afraid that Zhao Youcai would leave his life in the mountains.
"I'm telling you." Wang Meilan threatened again, "If you run to the mountain again, I'll find a job in your cafeteria and I'll watch you every day."
After saying that, Wang Meilan turned around and went back to the house.
Zhao Youcai squinted at Wang Meilan again, then muttered, "You bitch, wait till I get my job transferred. I'm going to be transferred to the forestry security department. You're useless in the cafeteria."
After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, he continued to feed the dog. Wang Meilan came into the house, pulled Zhao Chun over and gave him some instructions. Zhao Chun nodded repeatedly and then went to find Zhou Jianjun to convey his instructions.
Wang Meilan came and sat down next to Zhao Jun and asked, "Son, what are you doing today?"
Zhao Jun, who was holding his nephew and playing with him, asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Wang Meilan said, "Mom is just asking you."
"Ah, Mom, I don't have anything else to do today." Zhao Jun said, "I thought about going to find my third uncle and ask him how his contact with those old mountain dogs is going."
The two old mountain dogs that Xing San had contacted with Zhao Jun before are now one dead and one injured, and no deal has been made.
"Son, well..." Wang Meilan winked at Zhao Jun and said, "Why don't you go find that old man again on Sunday?"
When Wang Meilan spoke, her eyes drifted towards the window. Zhao Jun instantly understood that Wang Meilan wanted him to use the excuse of looking for Xing San to take Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang up the mountain on Sunday to look for the treasure left by Wang Dabazhang.
"Mom, I'm going to go for a walk today." Zhao Jun said, "I'll go again on Sunday."
"That's fine." Wang Meilan said, taking out the account book from her pocket, handed it to Zhao Jun and said, "Son, take a look. Yesterday your uncle collected about 80 yellow leaves, 12 large skins, and less than 50 gray skins."
"Ouch!" Zhao Jun heard this and hurriedly took the account book. Wang Qiang's handwriting was quite bad, but he remembered the amount of money clearly.
"Oh my God." Zhao Jun took one look and turned to Wang Meilan and asked, "Twenty thousand yuan is gone just like that?"
"Yeah." Wang Meilan nodded and said with a wry smile, "Son, there are even more people coming today. They say there are people selling bear gall."
There is no problem with the accounts, Wang Qiang is not the kind of person who would falsify the accounts, and all the things he received are there.
"Ouch." Zhao Jun closed the account book and said, "Mom, collect as much as you want. When the money is gone, we'll leave."
"Okay, son." Wang Meilan said, "The Chinese New Year is less than a month away. After this trip, let's take a break and spend the New Year."
"Hey, Mom?" Zhao Jun suddenly remembered something and said to Wang Meilan, "Someone is here to sell bear gall today. Can I stay at home?"
"Okay." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Son, have you forgotten? Mom went to sell it with you before. I remember how much it cost per tael and how much it cost based on quality."
The last time they went to Daohua County, they sold bear gall at a drugstore. The old gentleman in the drugstore told them everything about each bear gall and how much they were sold for.
Besides, Wang Meilan also remembered the price that Zheng’s father and son paid for bear bile.
It must be said that in this regard, Zhao Jun really admires his mother.
While the mother and daughter were talking, the dog outside the house barked a few times, and Wang Qiang's family of four came.
Wang Qiang came to help look after the house. There was so much money and furs in the house. Once Zhao Youcai and the others went to work, Wang Qiang was afraid that Zhao Jun would leave again, and it would be unsafe to leave Wang Meilan and Zhao Chun to take care of the child.
Wang Qiang and his family entered the house. After everyone greeted each other, Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Uncle, you are here. I will leave now."
The Yongan Forest Farm Forestry Protection Team's mission today was arranged as follows: Zhang Yuanmin was still recovering at home, and Wang Qiang was still in charge of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. The other four were still divided into different groups, with Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu going to the mountains, and Li Ruhai and Jie Chen going to the Red Star Village in the south to do business.
When Zhao Jun came out of the house, Zhao Youcai was still trying to get close to the dog.
But when they saw that Zhao Jun was wearing clothes suitable for going up the mountain, the hunting dogs became agitated and started howling at him.
Since they captured Yi Er alive, the Zhao family's dog gang has been resting at home. More than ten days have passed, and these dogs are very depressed.
But Zhao Jun was really busy these days, thinking about going to Changshan in three or five days. When he came back from there, he would bring the dog gang up the mountain to buy New Year's goods.
Seeing the hunting dogs howling at the Zhao army, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but feel a little regretful. It was a pity that such strong dogs couldn't help in the mountain.
At this time, Li Baoyu climbed over the wall. Zhao Jun took out two ten-jin wine barrels from the warehouse, and together with Li Baoyu, they tied a wine barrel to the back of the motorcycle, one on the left and one on the right.
"Son." At this time, Wang Meilan ran out of the room, holding a net bag in her hand, which contained two lunch boxes and a large butter paper bag.
Wang Meilan came to Zhao Jun, hung the net bag on the handlebars, and said to Zhao Jun: "Go up the mountain and take this to the old man."
There are fried vegetables in the lunch box and big fried pancakes in the butter paper package.
"Yes, Mom." Zhao Jun responded, and then heard Wang Meilan say: "It's almost the New Year, and it's almost time to withdraw the household registration.
Why don't you talk to that old man and ask him to come down the mountain and spend the New Year with us. We have so many old people in our family that we can't do without him."
"Okay, Mom, I got it." Zhao Jun responded, and then he heard Wang Meilan continue: "We still have half a bag of frozen dumplings at home, can you give it to him?"
"No, Mom, he still has a lot of dumplings." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "Brother Jie Zhong didn't say anything when he came the other day. The old man had a lot of food, and he hung it in a row behind the shack. He didn't give it to anyone after that."
Wang Meilan smiled when she heard this and said, "Okay, then he needs whatever he needs, and we'll talk about it after we're done."
Relationships between people are mutual. Zhao Jun was nice to Xing San at first, which made the old mountain dog feel the long-lost care.
So when he moved, he gave all his valuables to Zhao Jun.
Later, Xing San occupied a large hide, and Zhao Jun taught him how to trap sables. The old man killed more than ten large hides and gave them all to Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun sold more than ten large skins for more than 10,000 yuan each.
A few days ago, Xing San helped Zhao Jun find treasures and provided clues about golden grapes and golden watermelons. Wang Meilan was very grateful to him.
After everything was packed, Li Baoyu climbed onto the motorcycle. Today, Li Baoyu was driving the motorcycle. He was tall and could block the wind for Zhao Jun in front.
When the motorcycle drove out of Yong'antun, Qin Qiang's home.
Tao Hehua came in from outside with a flour bag. The bag was not full, one third of it was filled with something.
After Tao Hehua entered the house, she placed the bag of noodles at the door and shouted into the house, "The sticky rice dumplings are here. Remember to take them before you leave."
"Oh, I got it, sister." Tao Ersheng and Tao Sansheng, who were smoking in the room, responded in unison.
At this time, Qin Qiang, who was sitting on the kang with his back against the pile of quilts, said to the Tao brothers: "You two pass by that small shop and go in to get five catties of wine for my father."
Qin Qiang, who was stabbed by Xing San, has not recovered yet and is very weak.
"Okay, brother-in-law." Tao Ersheng responded and threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground and stomped it out.
"Then you guys go." Tao Hehua urged her brother, "Go there and talk to the old man, and then see how many skins he has, and give them all to him."
The Tao brothers responded one after another. When they reached the door, Tao Sansheng picked up the bag of flour, and the two brothers went out.
After seeing the two brothers off, Tao Hehua went into the inner room and complained to Qin Qiang, "Look at your father. He said he would send us some hides yesterday, but I stayed home to wait for him for a whole day."
The news that the Zhao family's Chamber of Commerce was collecting mountain products first spread in Yong'an Village. After Qin Qiang and his wife heard about it, they specially sent the Tao brothers to the mountain to explain the matter to Qin Dajiang.
On that day, Qin Dajiang asked the Tao brothers to give a message to Qin Qiang, agreeing to go down the mountain yesterday and bring the yellow leaves he picked up to Qin Qiang.
But yesterday, Qin Qiang and his wife waited anxiously for a whole day, but Qin Dajiang did not come back from the mountain.
Qin Qiang is the third child in the family, with two older brothers. Although the eldest and second oldest Qin had long since separated from the family, leaving Qin Dajiang to live with Qin Qiang.
But seeing that Qin Dajiang had spoken out of turn, Qin Qiang and his wife were afraid that Qin Dajiang would give the skin to his two sons.
The couple was so anxious that they didn't sleep all night, and this morning they hurriedly sent the Tao brothers up the mountain.
……
The motorcycle drove into Jiezhongleng Field, and Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu got off to get the wine barrel.
Seeing wisps of white smoke coming out of the shack, Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu to go and say hello to Jie Zhong, while he went into Xing San's shack carrying a wine barrel in one hand.
He had something in his hand and kicked the door with his toes.
As the door opened, Xing San in the room jumped off the kang.
"Uncle San." Zhao Jun greeted him with a smile. Xing San grinned and said, "Boy, it's you."
"Uncle, I'll get you 20 kilograms of wine. Drink it first." Zhao Jun put the wine barrel next to the shelf. After Xing San nodded, he was about to go over to close the door but was stopped by Zhao Jun.
"I still have something to take." Zhao Jun said, then ran out of the shack, took the net bag from the handlebars and went into the house.
When he heard that Wang Meilan had brought him some fried cakes and stir-fried dishes, Xing San insisted on eating one right away even though he had already had breakfast.
Opening the butter paper package, the old man took a fried cake and placed it directly on the stove cover.
Seeing this, Zhao Jun said to Xing San, "Uncle, why don't you come down the mountain with me?"
"What are you going to do?" Xing San asked, "Looking for that thing in your house?"
"Whether you are looking for it or not, just follow me." Zhao Jun said, "It's New Year's Day, come with me. I have a place at home and we have everything to eat. Why do you have to suffer here?"
"That's not good..." Xing San shook his head repeatedly, but then he heard Zhao Jun say, "If you think my house is noisy, I'll give you the whole house, and then you can come to my house for dinner."
"Let's talk about it after we're done." Xing San turned the pancake over, and then said to Zhao Jun, "I'll take care of these old mountain dogs on the mountain for you first."
At this point, Xing San raised his hand to signal Zhao Jun to get him some wine. After Zhao Jun stood up, the old man immediately said, "I saw Qin Dajiang the day before yesterday, and I'll talk to him after that."
"Who?" Zhao Jun turned around suddenly and looked at Xing San in disbelief.
