Chapter 1336 Young Master Zhao
"What's that barking?" Zhao Jun, who was riding a bicycle into Xishantun, was suddenly startled by the howling of the fox.
Zhao Jun pulled over and parked his motorcycle. He had never been to Xishantun and didn't know where to buy a live roe deer.
But this is not a problem for Zhao Jun. He can find out by asking someone.
At this moment, Zhao Jun saw three people rushing over from the south.
Among these three people, Zhao Jun knew two of them, namely Qin Guangquan and Qin Hongzhi, uncle and nephew.
"Ouch!" Seeing Zhao Jun from a distance, Qin Guangquan, Qin Hongzhi and Liu Chengdong trotted over, bowed slightly and nodded to Zhao Jun, and said, "Leader Zhao."
"Master Qin." Zhao Jun got off the motorcycle, smiled at Qin Guangquan kindly, and said, "Don't be so polite. I'm not a leader. Just call me Zhao Jun."
"That won't do." Qin Guangquan shook his head and asked Zhao Jun, "Leader Zhao, you didn't go to work today? How do you have time to come to us?"
"We have visitors today." Zhao Jun said, "My mother asked me to come and buy a live roe deer."
"Live roe deer..." Qin Guangquan said, "Then we have to find that person, Tong Youfeng."
"Where is his home, Master Qin?" Zhao Jun asked. Qin Guangquan raised his hand and pointed to the north, saying, "He has no home. He went to Wu Dalin's house."
"Ah..." Zhao Jun blinked and said, "Where is Wu Dalin's family?"
"Let's go, Leader Zhao." Qin Guangquan said, "I'll take you there."
"Then I'll trouble you, Master Qin." Zhao Jun thanked Qin Guangquan, but Qin Guangquan shook his head and said, "What's the trouble? Otherwise, we have to go to his house."
"He's doing business?" Zhao Jun asked again. Qin Guangquan said, "No, Wu Dalin secretly set up two condoms in the poplar forest yesterday..."
Qin Guangquan was talking when another fox howl came from the west. Qin Guangquan pointed to the direction where the sound came from and said, "We had originally agreed that everyone would go out this afternoon, and some would dig up the fox den, and some would use nets to surround it. But this guy acted on his own and didn't listen to instructions!"
When Qin Guangquan was speaking, Zhao Jun was about to push the motorcycle. When he heard Qin Guangquan's last words, Zhao Jun smiled.
This group of hooligans is quite interesting. When the other collectives have withdrawn, they have started to divide the work and cooperate with each other.
"Leader Zhao, let me help you push the bike." Qin Hongzhi was very considerate. He pushed Liu Chengdong away, then he went over to hold the handlebars while Liu Chengdong pushed the bike from behind.
Zhao Jun thanked the two and chatted with Qin Guangquan as they walked. After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at Wu Dalin's house.
At this time, Wu Dalin and his wife were being scolded by Zhang Xinglong, Tong Youfeng and a group of people, and they could not even raise their heads.
The villages these days are different from those 20 or 30 years later. People in the future can live their own lives behind closed doors, but not now.
Even though they were being scolded, Wu Dalin and Lin Wenqin had to keep apologizing, admitting their mistakes and making amends.
Suddenly, the door of his house was pulled open from the outside, and Qin Guangquan said at the door: "Uncle Zhang, Brother Tong, Leader Zhao is here!"
"Ah?" Everyone looked towards the door. Many of these men had been to the Zhao family yesterday and had seen Zhao Jun.
"Leader Zhao!" Tong Youfeng squeezed through the crowd, came to Zhao Jun and asked, "What are you doing here?"
When Tong Youfeng asked this, the others couldn't help but become nervous. They were afraid that Zhao Jun would go back on his word and not accept their fox skins.
"I have something to say, Master Tong." Zhao Jun said, "Do you have any live roe deer? I want to buy one."
"Ah..." Hearing that it was good news, Tong Youfeng breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "Yes, that... Leader Zhao, do you want a male or a female?"
"Master Tong, you have quite a lot of stuff." Zhao Jun smiled and said, "I'm eating at home, so I just want a male one."
As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, Zhang Xinglong, who had squeezed over, said to him, "Little boy, have you eaten yet? Why don't you go to my house to have a meal?"
It's not even ten o'clock yet, who can go to his house for dinner at this time? Zhang Xinglong asked this question to show that he had a good relationship with the Zhao army, which was a bit like a fox borrowing the power of a tiger.
"No need, Uncle Zhang." Zhao Jun said with a smile, "There are visitors at home, I have to hurry back after buying the roe deer."
As soon as Zhao Jun finished speaking, he heard faint howling of foxes outside the house.
At this time, Zhang Xinglong raised his hand and pointed outside, saying to Zhao Jun: "I had arranged for them to clean out the fox den this afternoon. I didn't expect them to mess around and make the fox cubs scream again."
Tong Youfeng next to him glared at Zhang Xinglong fiercely. It was clearly he who arranged the plan to encircle and suppress the foxes, but this old man boasted about it in front of Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun smiled faintly and did not respond to Zhang Xinglong's words. Instead, he asked Tong Youfeng, "Master Tong, how much is the male roe deer?"
"Well..." Tong Youfeng said with a bitter face, "The day before yesterday, Ruhai gave us 100 yuan, and he told us to sell it for 100 yuan."
Zhao Jun heard what Tong Youfeng meant. Yesterday at Zhao's house, Wang Meilan and these hooligans agreed that all the mountain products in Xishantun would be sold at the price previously offered by Li Ruhai.
Tong Youfeng thought one hundred yuan was too little, but he didn't dare to cheat Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun took out money from his pocket, counted out twelve big unity notes and handed them to Tong Youfeng in front of everyone, saying, "It's not easy for you to feed the roe deer, I'll give you 110 yuan. The extra 10 yuan will be given to you on behalf of Ru Hai."
"Ouch!" Tong Youfeng did not take the money immediately, but excitedly clasped his fists to Zhao Jun and said, "Thank you, Leader Zhao, thank you, Leader Zhao."
"Oh my." Zhao Jun couldn't stand seeing people like this, so he pushed the money in front of Tong Youfeng and said, "Master Tong, take it."
Tong Youfeng took the money and asked Zhao Jun, "Leader Zhao, will you come with me?"
"Master Tong, can I not go?" Zhao Jun asked, "Can you tie up the roe deer and bring it to me?"
"Okay, okay!" Tong Youfeng turned around and called to everyone, "Old Three, Old Five, you two go home, go to the circle with your sister-in-law, and tie up the biggest roe deer!"
"Hey!" Someone answered, and then two people were seen walking through the crowd, passing by Zhao Jun and pushing the door open.
At this time, Tong Youfeng smiled and said to Zhao Jun: "Leader Zhao, we have a large chestnut weighing more than 90 kilograms. I'll give it to you."
"Thank you, Master Tong." Zhao Jun thanked Tong Youfeng, then changed the subject and asked, "I heard that someone in our village has trapped a fox?"
Zhao Jun didn't go with Tong Youfeng, not because he was paid to do so, but because he wanted to stay and see the fox skin.
Didn’t they say that this family was trapping a fox?
"Ah... that..." Tong Youfeng pulled back and called Wu Dalin, "Dalin, give me the fox skin."
"Hey, hey!" Wu Dalin responded twice, then called to Lin Wenqin beside him, "Wife, go get it!"
Lin Wenqin hurried into the house, went to the north window of the east room, and took down the two fox skins hanging there.
Lin Wenqin came out quickly and handed all the fox skins to Wu Dalin. Wu Dalin walked through the crowd and delivered the fox skins to Zhao Jun.
"Ah!" Zhao Jun was surprised to see two fox skins, one white and one yellow.
Zhao Jun took the yellow fox skin and examined it with both hands. The quality of fur in winter is good, the fox fur is thick, soft, and feels warm to the touch.
"Master, what's your last name?" Zhao Jun asked Wu Dalin under the gaze of everyone.
"My surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Dalin." After Wu Dalin finished speaking, Zhao Jun lifted the fox skin up and asked, "Master Wu, do you want to sell these two fox skins?"
"Sell! Sell!" Wu Dalin tried hard to suppress his excitement. He went out in the cold weather to set up condoms just to make money.
At this time, not only Wu Dalin was excited, but everyone else was also looking at Zhao Jun excitedly. They were waiting for Zhao Jun to fulfill his promise.
"Yesterday I told everyone that fox fur is ten yuan a piece, but these two are special." As soon as Zhao Jun said this, everyone's heart was lifted. They were afraid that Zhao Jun would find an excuse not to pay or give less money.
But Zhao Jun said, "The ten yuan one is the gray one, which is the most common one. The white and yellow ones are less common than the gray ones, so they are more expensive."
"Ah?" Wu Dalin was shocked, and so were the gangsters. They felt that ten yuan was enough, but they didn't expect that Zhao Jun would take the initiative to give them more money.
"Leader Zhao!" Wu Dalin's wife Lin Wenqin squeezed through the crowd and came to Zhao Jun and asked, "How much can you give for those two pieces of skin?"
"Sister-in-law." Zhao Jun greeted Lin Wenqin with a friendly smile, then looked at the others and said, "My home is in Yong'antun. We are not far from each other. We are all from the same village. You don't need to call me Leader Zhao, Leader Zhao. Just call me Zhao Jun."
"Ah, ah!" Lin Wenqin nodded repeatedly. She couldn't listen to anything else Zhao Jun said at this time. She was just waiting for Zhao Jun to give her a quote.
"I'll give you fifteen for this yellow one." Zhao Jun said as he handed the yellow fox in his hand to Lin Wenqin. Lin Wenqin widened her eyes and took the fox skin in her hands in a daze.
Then Zhao Jun pointed at the white fox skin in Wu Dalin's hand and said, "Twenty for the white one."
When Zhao Jun said this, Wu Dalin's small eyes widened, and the hooligans around him started talking immediately.
"Twenty? We have quite a few white foxes here!"
"Why does he pay for this?"
Zhao Jun took money out of his pocket and said, "Whoever wants the red one, I'll give him fifty. That's the highest price."
"How many?"
"Fifty? Oh my god!"
"Fifty? My family can't even earn that much in a year!"
While the hooligans were talking, Zhao Jun counted out thirty-five yuan and handed it to Wu Dalin, saying with a smile, "Master Wu, this is thirty-five, check it out."
"No need to check, no need to check." Wu Dalin shook his head repeatedly, and then seemed to remember something, holding the money in both hands, he bowed to Zhao Jun and said, "Thank you, Master Zhao! Thank you, Master Zhao!"
"Ah?" Zhao Jun was a little confused. Even if you are not allowed to call him Leader Zhao, you can't do that.
At this time, Zhao Jun also recognized Wu Dalin. It was this person who took the lead in calling his mother "Grandma Zhao" when he was at home yesterday.
"Thank you, Young Master Zhao! Thank you, Young Master Zhao!" Lin Wenqin next to him was even more exaggerated and bowed 90 degrees to Zhao Jun.
It’s no wonder the couple exaggerated. Before Zhao Jun gave them the money, their family had only a total of more than five dollars in savings.
There was no other way. Even though they had no worries about food and drink when living in the forest area, they still had some necessary expenses. They did not have a stable income, so their life was very difficult.
No matter how well you speak, it is not as good as doing well.
When everyone saw the thirty-five yuan in Wu Dalin's hand, no one remained calm.
They don't envy Tong Youfeng for making money, because catching live roe deer is not something that ordinary people can do.
Tong Youfeng and his group of seven climbed on ice and slept in the snow in the mountains for a month before they caught four roe deer, three males and one female.
A roe deer was sold for 110 yuan, but it was shared by seven people.
Trapping and hunting foxes is much easier than catching live roe deer. One person can set the trap and earn more!
Zhao Jun took the fox skin from Wu Dalin and his wife, and then said to everyone, "All of us are here. Yesterday, I held a meeting for all the forest rangers at the third section. I told them that whoever bullies others by taking bribes...you, will go home.
If we go up the mountain again and a forest ranger bullies you, remember what he looks like and come find me when you’re done.”
At this point, Zhao Jun waved his hand and said, "I will do what I say. I will definitely take care of it!"
Hearing this, the hooligans got excited again. They were all afraid of being bullied by the forest rangers, and they were always nervous every time they went up the mountain. It was just that their families were in financial difficulties, so they had no choice but to go into the mountains.
No one knew who took the lead, but everyone thanked Zhao Jun one after another, shouting in unison: "Thank you, Master Zhao!"
"What are you doing?" Zhao Jun was speechless. He grabbed Zhang Xinglong beside him and said, "Uncle Zhang, I'm a junior. How can you do this?"
"You are the only one who thinks I am your uncle." Zhang Xinglong excitedly pulled Zhao Jun's hand and said, "None of the young people in the family quarters of the forest farm look at us hooligans with respect."
After hearing what Zhang Xinglong said, many hooligans nodded in agreement. Tong Youfeng, who was standing by, touched the 120 yuan in his pocket and wondered if he had been negligent just now.
At this time, the people sent by Tong Youfeng to get the roe deer came back. The two men came in and said to Tong Youfeng, "Brother Tong, the roe deer are outside."
Tong Youfeng looked at Zhao Jun, and Zhao Jun said, "Then I'll go back now."
Having said that, Zhao Jun walked out, and more than ten people followed him, rushing out of the house.
A roe deer was lying behind a motorcycle with its four hooves tied and its mouth tied. When it saw the people coming out, it turned its ears in fear.
Seeing this, Tong Youfeng, after obtaining Zhao Jun's permission, personally tied the roe deer to the back of the motorcycle.
"Thank you, Master Tong." Zhao Jun thanked him, but Tong Youfeng said, "Thank you, Master Zhao."
After saying this, Tong Youfeng felt much more at ease.
"Huh?" Zhao Jun was confused by him. Zhao Jun thought to himself that he had to leave quickly and could not stay in this place any longer.
So, with everyone watching, Zhao Jun rode his motorcycle away from Wu Dalin's house.
After watching Zhao Jun's motorcycle disappear, Zhang Xinglong turned around and said to everyone, "Let's all go home now and ask the one at home to hurry up and cook for us so that we can have a good meal. Then we'll gather at my doorstep at twelve o'clock."
After Zhang Xinglong finished speaking, a cold wind blew by and the surroundings became completely silent.
Before Zhang Xinglong felt embarrassed, Tong Youfeng smiled and pushed him, saying, "Master Zhang, you don't even know how to pick up a yellow leaf. Just do what you need to do."
At this point, Tong Youfeng raised his voice and said to everyone, "Let's all go home and have dinner. After dinner, bring your weapons and come to my house. We'll go hunt foxes this afternoon!"
What Tong Youfeng didn't expect was that after he said this, no one responded.
Just as Tong Youfeng was stunned, everyone scattered.
Then Wu Dalin was seen carrying a pickaxe, Lin Wenqin carrying a shovel, and their two boys, one holding a furnace hook and the other carrying a wire rope, hurriedly coming out of the yard.
"Hey?" Tong Youfeng raised his hand and said, "Dalin, what are you two doing with the child? Let's not talk about it. Are all the people in the village going together? No, what are you doing with the child?"
As soon as Tong Youfeng finished speaking, the only response he got was the howl of a fox from the west mountain.
Yesterday I was short of a thousand words. I will make up for it tomorrow morning. It’s a holiday soon, and someone came to visit the old lady at home today.
