Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 374 Rescue the Dog
Seeing that Li Hongbing was as stubborn as a donkey, the store owner muttered, picked up the clothing pole and took off the security vest from the wall.

"Here, put on this vest, and you don't need to bring a flashlight when you walk on mountain roads at night."

Li Hongbing tugged hard and found that the black canvas fabric was of good quality. He took it back and asked Shan Xing to change it and put it on for dogs and wild boars. He transformed into a serious security guard.

"I want more, how much do you have here?"

The shop owner smiled happily and looked Li Hongbing up and down, but he didn't look down on him.

"Brother, I have more than 100 vests, you want them all!"

"Yes! I'll give you the money, put it in the store first, and I'll pick it up tomorrow, okay?" Li Hongbing nodded for confirmation.

Hi!
Didn't expect to come across a big deal.

The store owner smiled like a flower.

Two years ago, my distant nephew, Sun Nian, said that the security team needed to change their outfits, so he bought hundreds of security uniforms at one go. Later, the security team only wanted long-sleeved security uniforms, not vests.

As a result, these more than 100 security vests were thrown into the hands, and only a few of them were sold in two years. They still thought that they could not be sold, so they found a place and burned them to save space.

Unexpectedly, I fell asleep and touched the pillow today.

Someone even wrapped it up.

"Mother, mother-in-law, hurry up and pour water for big brother. Forget it, go buy a bottle of drink and ask for ice." The shop owner turned his head and yelled into the room, bent down to pick up a chair, and brought it to Li Hongbing, "Daddy Brother, sit down for a while, and I’ll go and lighten my vest.”

Li Hongbing smiled and waved his hands, letting the boss go to work, and walking around the store by himself.

Just as the boss was moving out the dusty cardboard boxes one by one from the warehouse, Li Hongbing also spotted what he wanted to buy.

Nails, saw blades, twine, and finally a sewing machine in the corner.

This is good stuff.

Shan Xing has wanted a sewing machine for a long time. He usually mends clothes stitch by stitch, which is a waste of time.

"How to sell sewing machines?"

The shop owner was sweating profusely, raised his head and glanced at it, and said with a smile.

"Brother, this is a Butterfly brand. I only have one. Nowadays, everyone buys ready-made clothes. No one uses a sewing machine. If you like it, I will give you 300 yuan and take it away."

"I want it. Let's settle the accounts together later."

After counting the number of vests, there are 120 pieces in total, and the cost price is 30 yuan for each piece. Adding sewing machines and other messy things, the calculation is less than 5000 yuan.

The boss was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and he generously wiped out a few cents.

After making an appointment to pick up the goods tomorrow, Li Hongbing continued to wander around from South Street back to North Street.

The fireworks on North Street are more intense.

"Fragrant meat, kill the fragrant meat now, take your pick." A shout sounded from a remote place on the corner of the street, and many people looked for it.

Li Hongbing narrowed his eyes.

Fragrant meat is actually dog ​​meat. There is a custom in the forest area that you can't sell fragrant meat during the day, and you can't open a shop, you can only set up a mobile stall.

Because the old saying is taboo to kill a dog during the day, if a person kills a dog with a knife near the eyes, he will be disfigured one day in the future because of "disfigurement", and the dog's eyes cannot see people clearly at night.

In fact, in Li Hongbing's view, the rural people keep dogs by their family members. Even if they sell them, they rarely kill their own dogs to eat. Most of the dogs are stolen by dog ​​dealers. They kill them at night and sell them at night because they are afraid of their owners. find the door.

Wang Wang Wang!
There were bursts of miserable dog barking from the crowd.

Li Hongbing felt uncomfortable when he heard it, and with great strength, he squeezed into the crowd and saw a motorcycle parked under a locust tree, with narrow iron cages hanging on both sides of the car, filled with dogs of all sizes, squeezed He couldn't move, and he gasped heavily.

A dog dealer clamped a black dog's neck tightly with long-handled iron tongs. The black dog twisted its body forcefully and howled miserably.

There is a hook tied to the branch of the locust tree, and a dog has been burnt with a spray gun, and its skin is burnt yellow, waiting for diners to come to the door.

"Come and see, a serious black dog in the forest area. Men eat black dog meat to nourish yin and strengthen yang. The wife can't get out of bed in the morning. It costs 8 yuan a catty, and it is processed for free."

Most of the diners around were men. Hearing what the dog dealer said, his eyes flickered with inexplicable excitement.

The black dog seemed to know that his life was not long. He turned his body wildly, and his neck was dripping with blood.

Li Hongbing doesn't want to interfere with eating fragrant meat. After all, there are thousands of years of tradition, and dog meat is also a good traditional Chinese medicine.

There are some things that you can not eat yourself, but don't object to others eating them.

Don't think that whoever eats what you don't eat has no reason to do so.

There is a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that everything has two sides, like yin and yang, like pros and cons. Eat what you should eat, and don’t eat what you should not eat. This is a healthy mentality.

"Give me a dogleg."

"I'll do some dog legs too."

"I want a front leg."

"Give it to me beside the dog, this thing is a great tonic!"

The diners placed their orders one after another, and the dog dealer picked up the hammer with a smile and held it high.

The black dog screamed in horror, with despair in its eyes, and its hind legs kicked out scratches in the solid mud.

The moment the hammer fell!
"Wait!" Li Hongbing shouted.

Dog sellers and diners buying fragrant meat turned to look at him.

"Big brother, there is only one front leg left, and I will leave it to you later!" The dog dealer said with a smile, and raised the hammer again.

Li Hongbing shook his head, "No need to kill. If I want to live, I will pay the price you said."

To live!
The dog dealer hesitated. Selling only meat, the internal organs were worthless. Selling them alive would definitely make more money than selling meat.

"What's the matter with you, you buy one, what about the hind legs I want!"

"Yes, you bought it, what should we buy!"

"Why is this young man so unruly, dog dealer, don't ruin the deal, we want it first."

The diners accused Li Hongbing of not following the rules and ordering things to come first served.

The dog dealer really wanted to put in a good word for Li Hongbing, but he couldn't bear the large number of customers. If he sold it to Li Hongbing today, he would never want to do business in Songbai Town in the future.

"Big brother, I still have quite a few in this cage, why don't you pick another one."

Now that they met, it was fate, Li Hongbing pointed to the iron cage, "Don't pick, I want all these dogs!"

What!
I want it all!

The dog dealer shook his hand and almost let the black dog go, so he quickly confirmed.

"Really want it all?"

"You think I am teasing you?" Li Hongbing asked back.

The dog dealer looked Li Hongbing up and down. He was wearing ordinary clothes and a hat at night, but his eyes were sharp.

Having been in the dog business for so many years, traveling all over the world, the dog was afraid to look at me, but in the face of this man's eyes, I felt terrified, as if I had done something wrong.

"I said Goulanzi, don't break the rules when doing business."

"We are also famous in the town. If you dare to sell it to him today, believe it or not, I will blow up your business."

A few diners estimated that there is some weight in Songbai Town, and they threatened in a yin or yang way.

This! !

The dog dealer looked embarrassed.

While he didn't want to lose this big deal, he didn't want to offend the locals in the town.

After all, this is not a one-off deal, and they will have to travel in Songbai Town in the future.

"Who is it! You're so awesome, you have a head and face in the town!" A man's voice sounded from outside the crowd, followed by a few young men pulling the crowd away.

Li Hongbing raised his mouth, turned around and smiled, "Third brother, long time no see!"

The cattle and horse market had just closed, and Fang San took his brothers out for dinner. On the way, he heard someone say that he was handsome, so he came over curiously to join in the fun, not wanting to see Li Hongbing.

"Ah! Brother, why did you come out of the mountain without even saying hello? Didn't you have any food? Let's go for a walk. My brother treats you to a drink." Fang San's surprised expression was full of smiles, even a little flattering.

"Okay!" Li Hongbing nodded, "I'll buy the dog first."

buy a dog!

Fang San looked at the dog dealer in doubt, "Dog fence, what do you mean, my brother bought a dog and you dare to steal and play tricks, you don't want to hang around in the forest area anymore."

The man in front of him is the thumb of the livestock business in the forest area, and he is not even a dog hair.

In a word, let alone selling dogs in the forest area, it is enough to make a living.

The dog dealer quickly nodded and bowed to explain, "Third brother, how dare I? I want to sell it, but there are a few people who won't let me."

"Who doesn't want to sell it?" Fang San turned his head and glared.

The diners who were shouting just now shut their mouths obediently and shook their heads repeatedly. Some people sneaked away while it was dark.

"Count how many there are, I bought them all!" Li Hongbing didn't want to be known as a dog relying on human power, so he looked at the dog dealer.

"A few dogs are not worth a lot of money, take them if you like." The dog dealer quickly waved his hand.

After all this trouble, you are really stupid for daring to ask for money, and the roommate and the third are flattering people, and they can talk and do errands, so it is better to sell face and make it easier for them to meet each other in the future.

Fang San interrupted, "Even if I ask you to count money, you are worthy of asking my brother to sell you a favor."

This!
The dog dealer who was exposed, although angry but helpless, who made Fang San famous!
Immediately he raised the iron tongs, intending to lift the black dog to the scale for weighing.

"Don't hang up." Li Hongbing stepped forward a few steps and stretched out his hand to the panic-screaming black dog.

"Man, don't do it. The dog is surprised and bites!" The dog dealer quickly stopped him. If the other dog was not sold, he would have to pay for medical treatment.

Fang San scolded without losing face, "Shut up, my brother trains animals, you will never be able to learn it in a few lifetimes."

I saw Li Hongbing's hand slowly reaching towards the black dog. The frightened black dog opened its mouth and showed its teeth, warning not to come near.

As the hand approached slowly, a sense of peace and warmth infected the black dog.

Until the palm of his hand was pressed on the black dog's head, the screams suddenly stopped, and he let out waves of grievances and whines.

"It's okay!" Li Hongbing scratched the blackhead's head and looked up at the dog dealer. "Loosen the pliers and he will follow you to weigh him."

oh oh!

The dog dealer was taken aback. He had been selling dogs for so many years, and it was the first time he saw such a wicked dog.

Quickly let go of the pincers, and after the black dog was free, he squatted obediently beside Li Hongbing.

Immediately afterwards, Li Hongbing walked towards the two cages, and the dogs in the cages barked excitedly when they saw that the black dog was not dead.

One by one was too troublesome, Li Hongbing walked in front of the cage, raised his palm and waved lightly.

The power of the original source was thrown into the cage as he raised his hand.

The dogs in the cage instantly fell silent.

Opening the cage door, Li Hongbing fished them out one by one.

Unexpectedly, there were ten dogs stuffed in the two iron cages.

Immediately, the silent farts under the locust tree could be heard. Everyone stared blankly at Li Hongbing, and the vest couldn't help but feel chills.

So damn evil.

Only Fang San remained awake. After all, he had seen this kind of scene several times and was used to it.

"Weigh quickly, why are you in a daze!"

Oh!
The dog dealer reacted and quickly picked up the scale to weigh each dog.

"Men, it's 410 catties in total, so let's count it as 400 catties. A dog costs 6 yuan a catty, so it's 2400 yuan."

Li Hongbing nodded, did not ask the price of the fur dog, settled the money and goods, and left with the dog.

"Let's go, brother, go drink!" Seeing that the matter was over, Fang San warmly invited.

Li Hongbing looked back at the ten dogs behind him and said with a wry smile, "I'll get them settled first. What if I bring so many dogs onto the street and scare people?"

"This is easy to handle, Heizi. You take the dog to the cattle and horse market and feed it some food." Fang San turned around and arranged for a young man next to him.

It is indeed better to leave it at the cattle and horse market than to take it back to the guest house.

Li Hongbing turned to the ten dogs and said, "Follow him, I will pick you up tomorrow, don't run around."

Wang Wang!

Hei Tou barked a few times and followed Hei Zi with the pack of dogs.

Fang San was full of admiration, "Brother, I will starve to death just because you are selling animals in the forest!"

"You are joking, how can I steal the third brother's business!"

"That's right. Your Caogou Village is so awesome now. In the past two days, all the cars on the road are going to your village."

"Come to the village to play when you have time, I will arrange it!"

"That's what you said."

early morning.

Li Hongbing was woken up by the blind dog honking the car horn.

Living in Caogou Village is still comfortable, quiet, with birds singing and flowers blooming, unlike the chaos in the town early in the morning.

Change your clothes and walk out of the room.

Secretary Liu had been waiting outside the door early. When he saw Li Hongbing walking out, he stepped forward with a smile.

"Mr. Li, have you rested well? I asked the kitchen to prepare a simple breakfast."

Zhao Mingguo really put his money into it, so he was so afraid that I would not do my best.

Li Hongbing secretly shook his head.

When the two came to the restaurant, a simple breakfast was really not easy.

Soy milk, fried dough sticks, noodle nests, burritos, porridge, buns, noodle soup, beef soup, and a pot of old chicken soup.

"Secretary Liu, there's no need to make so much for breakfast." Li Hongbing looked at a table full of breakfast.

Secretary Liu smiled slightly.

“I finally treated you to a meal, but I couldn’t decide which dish would suit your taste, so I ordered a few more dishes. I also asked you to try the specialties of our town, especially this dish, from Lao Wei’s family. Beef soup, the first pot in the morning, has the most authentic taste.”

That said, comfortable!
No wonder it is said that the secretary next to the leader knows how to read words and expressions, and can speak well.

Li Hongbing was not polite either, last night he drank with Fang Sanguang and didn't eat, so he sat down and ate beef soup.

After breakfast.

After tidying up, Li Hongbing came to the meeting room of the town government.

Some village chiefs had already arrived ahead of time, gathering together in twos and threes, exchanging gossip in a low voice.

The mayor's transfer is a sure thing.

I don't know who the new mayor is.

Will there be three fires in office? Let’s burn one first.

When Li Hongbing approached the conference room, the village chiefs looked at him suspiciously. This was not Li Hongbing from Caogou Village. He had beaten up Shuanggou Village last time and he still hadn't recovered from the blow. He came to the meeting no matter what.

"Village Chief Li, you're here!" Zheng Youqian walked out cheerfully and took the initiative to say hello.

The other village chiefs were in an uproar.

He is the village chief?

What about Li Huaizhong?

Step down!
