Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 51: Take a big job, don’t get upset

Fighting a siege is not just about having a gun.

First of all, you must have experience, otherwise you will be blind when you go up the mountain without seeing the traces of animals, and you will not even be able to see the hair of the animals.

As for the inexperienced militiaman, who had never fought with a big planer or a black blind man, his calves would tremble when he saw the animals running towards him, his heart would tremble, and his hand holding the gun would be unstable, so it would be easy for him to get into trouble.

"Okay, I'll take Qinglang and them for a walk in the mountains these days. When we get familiar with them, I'll go to Wangxing and find old secretary Chai Liangyu, right?"

Xu Pao heard that he didn't hesitate, so he responded immediately and said with a smile: "Yes, don't worry first, I have to explain it to you."

"Hey, I'm listening."

"You go to Wangxing to help hunt the animals. You are doing me a favor. I have to give you fifty yuan..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Ning raised his hand to interrupt.

"Uncle Xu, why don't you give me money? I can't take this money!"

"Listen to me! Why is this kid so hot-tempered?"

Chang Danian said with a smile: "Who told you to talk nonsense? Isn't that fifty yuan a deposit given to you by Lao Chai? You can just transfer it to him directly. What do you mean by the money you gave me?"

"Yes, this money is the deposit that Lao Chai gave me before this summer. If you help me, the deposit must be transferred to you... After you go to Wangxing to hunt livestock, the village department will still have to give it to you. 100 yuan, this money is for hiring you to hunt cattle.

For the animals you kill, wild boar will give you 1 cent per catty, deer and roe deer will give you 8 cents, and black blind man will give you 2 yuan.

You can keep good things like bear bile, balm cover, and deer whip for yourself. If someone asks you to buy them, it's up to you whether to sell them or not. How about that? "

83年市场零售的家养白猪肉价格是6毛到1块钱，野猪肉的价格肯定要便宜些，大概是3毛到7毛之间。

Deer and roe deer are good meat. Compared with beef and mutton, the price is naturally more expensive than wild boar meat. The retail price can reach 1 to 2 yuan.

And things are rare and valuable, and Heixiazi is relatively rare, retailing for 3 or 4 yuan.

But these are retail prices. If you wholesale, it will definitely be much cheaper.

Xu Ning was secretly surprised when he heard Xu Pao's words.

Because he originally came here for the three puppies, Xu Pao not only entrusted Qinglang and several dogs to him, but also introduced him to a big job!

If we were to go to Wangxing and hunt a dozen wild boars, wouldn't we let them go?

"Uncle, what are you going to give me? You can keep the 50 for yourself. If you introduce me to such a big job, then I won't be able to give you any introduction fee."

Xu Pao and Chang Danian both laughed when they heard this.

"Boy, if you don't help me with this, not only will I not be able to make any money, but I will also have to do it the wrong way. Besides, I have agreed to do this a long time ago. If I don't do it, won't it damage my reputation?
  Even if you go to help, Wangxing will have to have someone chewing my tongue behind my back, can you believe it? You, just take it as you should, why are you being polite to me? "

"Uncle, I'm really not polite, look..."

Xu Pao saw that he was still stern, so he pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, if you keep nagging you, you can get out of here. Qinglang doesn't need you to run away, and I don't need your help either!"

Chang Danian rushed to the side and said: "Er Ning, your uncle Xu has said so, why are you so stubborn? Why don't you go, let us brothers go?"

Xu Ning thought for a while and said, "That's okay. Master, where did I stay?"

"Where to stay? I'll stay at Lao Chai's house. Don't worry. I'll take care of food and accommodation. I'll also provide you with 56 halves and bullets."

Xu Ning was a little confused. He paid 100 yuan for running errands, and then bought meat at wholesale prices. He still had to take care of food, housing, guns and ammunition?

This is not a big job, but a super big job!
  I can't even get through without any hard connections.

"Hey! How did this good thing happen to me? Uncle, you have a good relationship with Secretary Lao Chai, right?"

Xu Pao nodded: "Well, me, Lao Chai, and you, Uncle Chang, the three of us used to deliver letters to the same bearded man."

This beard pile is the hilltop where Li Fuqiang's father is.

This friendship is not shallow, almost like comrades who live and die together.

Chang Danian turned around and said, "Er Ning, if you can't take the green wolf up the mountain these days, take the black wolf with you."

Xu Ning's eyes lit up. Just imagine how cool it would be to have two of the most powerful dogs in Qing'an working together to fight a siege.
  "Then I will also lead Hei Lang to visit Xing?"

Chang Danian said: "You can take it if you want."

"Hey, thank you so much, sir. Look... I was not prepared at all. Before my butt was even warmed up, good things happened to me one after another. I didn't even know how to recover!"

"Hahaha, look at this kid, he's not like Xiao Qian'er anymore."

Xu Pao was amused by Xu Ning and laughed.

Chang Danian also said with a smile: "It's not that good. I just got in touch with him in the first few days. I don't think he is as bad as the people say outside. Seeing him slipping his beard in front of me made my face turn red."

"Hahaha……"

"Er Ning, when are you going? It's best to decide in advance. I'll ask you, Sister Xiaohe, to call Wangxing so they can send a car to pick you up."

Xu Ning opened his mouth, "Why is there a car to pick me up?"

"In the past two years, we have been prosperous. We have set up a large factory and set up a small transportation team. How about having a car to pick us up? Otherwise, why don't you lead the dog and walk for more than 90 miles?" Xu Ning grinned. Le said: "Happiness comes too suddenly. Uncle, I'll go visit Xingde and take the two of you. Do you think that's okay?"

"Why not? You can take whomever you want. That's your business. We have nothing to say between us."

Xu Ning nodded: "Then I'll go on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year."

Today is November 11th in the Gregorian calendar, which is the 11th day of October in the lunar calendar.

He wanted to take the dog up the mountain for a day to get acquainted with it, and then leave it at home for a day to rest.

"Okay, I'll ask your sister, Xiao He, to call me tonight and let me know."

Xu Ning nodded simply in agreement.

But he always felt uncomfortable because the favor was a bit big, so he spoke out what was on his mind.

"Boss, you see, this is what I think.

Uncle Xu doesn’t need to give me the 50 yuan. I will keep the 100 yuan that Secretary Lao Chai wants to give.

After finishing the hunting, we will divide the animals into shares according to the mountain rules. Both the green wolf and the black wolf will have one share, okay? "

Xu Pao and Chang Danian looked at each other, and then looked at him with a bad expression.

When he mentioned the money just now, neither of them were angry, because the 50 yuan was actually what Xu Pao wanted to give him, not a deposit from Lao Chai.

Now that Xu Ning is raising money to split shares, isn't that a slap in their face?
  Ah, you don’t want me to withdraw the money, but I have to ask for it if you withdraw it?
  The two brothers had said so much to him just now, but he didn't take a word to heart!

"You kid, why are you so stubborn? Don't bother with such a trivial matter! I didn't even need to bring you here."

Chang Danian slapped the edge of the kang in annoyance and breathed fire directly at Xu Ning.

Xu Pao had a sullen face and said angrily: "I told you, you helped me with this, and I'll share the cents with you! Am I the one who is blind to money?"

In the outhouse, Aunt Gao and Xu He listened to the two of them firing at Xu Ning, and hurriedly opened the door curtain and rushed into the house.

"Where's Gaha? Gaha is so noisy! You two are scaring the child again."

Xu He patted Xu Ning's shoulder and looked at the two of them.

"Dad, Uncle Chang, Er Ning is also kind-hearted, why are you two angry with him? Can't you talk to him carefully?"

Aunt Gao said: "Er Ning, don't be like them. They have such a bad temper. Since they are looking for you to do something, why do they just tell you to do whatever you want? How can they be so clear-cut? You won't be able to do it in the future." Is it done?"

Xu Ning smiled bitterly: "Mom, I just thought that if the green wolf and the black wolf went out with me, they couldn't go out for nothing. Besides, this job was introduced by the uncle, so I can't do such ruthless things."

Aunt Gao said with a smile: "Look, this kid is so good. He has such a right mind."

The two brothers obviously didn't want Xu Ning to suffer, so Xu Pao turned his face away and didn't look at him.

Chang Danian narrowed his eyes and stared at him, making the decision: "This matter has been settled. If you want to control the black wolf in the future, you have to give me a share."

Aunt Gao advised: "Er Ning, you two uncles come to you to do something, you can't make them feel unhappy."

Xu Ning thought for a while and felt that he could not ruin the good intentions of the two uncles.

Then he nodded and said, "Okay, that's it."

Immediately, Xu Pao grinned and said, "Isn't it over if you have such a good time?"

Aunt Gao said: "This is the first time this child is doing business with you. Who knows how charming you are? If you have something to talk about in the future, don't get irritated all the time."

Chang Danian said with a smile: "If I didn't get annoyed, how could he agree so happily?"

"Is the meal ready?"

Xu Pao interrupted and let the matter be over.

"Come on, there's another one with a score of 10 or 8."

"My dear, please set the table and get ready to eat. Bring me the wine to ward off the cold. Er Ning and I will drink less."

"Hey." Xu He responded and went to put the table and pick up the dishes.

Xu Ning said: "Uncle, I won't drink anymore."

"What? You quit?" Xu Pao was stunned.

Chang Danian said with a smile: "A few days ago, he and Li Fuqiang drank until midnight. On the way home, they almost froze to death by poking a pole at the gate. From then on, they both stopped."

Xu Pao tilted his head, a little disbelieving, "Li Fuqiang also stopped drinking?"

"Well, I stayed at my house for two meals and watched my dad and the others drink. The sputum almost dripped all over the floor, but I didn't touch a morsel."

"That's pretty good. I have an impression of this strong man. Good luck to you. His father and his father are both good people."
