Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 38 Buy! purchase! purchase

Lu Jiansheng picked up the puppies one by one. He knew something about the selection of white dragons. According to folklore, the selection of white dragon dogs focused on five red and one white.

The so-called five reds and one white means that the nose should be red, the mouth should be red, the eyes should be red, the tongue should be red, and the ears should be red.

A red nose means that the sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and a red mouth means that you will hit the right spot wherever you bite, with a very high hit rate and a strong bite force. When choosing eyes, the eyes should be slightly sunken and triangular, with long canthus lines and shining eyes. This kind of dog is naturally independent in character, fierce and not afraid of trouble. The more it fights, the braver it becomes. Its tongue is large, long and bright red.

Yibai means that the hair on the whole body is required to be white, with white medium-hard hair being the top grade, and the tail is required to be straight with the tip of the tail pointing upward. The hound's tail should be held high, preferably over the back, and should not hang down no matter what danger it encounters. This kind of dog is very courageous and fierce.

Lu Jiansheng looked at these puppies carefully. The appearance of these puppies was both unexpected and reasonable. It was probably only before the 1980s that he could encounter so many dogs in a litter with good appearance! Most of the white dragons Lu Jiansheng saw in his previous life were hybrids, and their blood was already very impure.
  It is considered good to have one top-grade white dragon in a litter, and in this litter of five, three of them are top-grade.
  There is also a little guy with big ears and a dull head. He looks short and fat, but this little guy has blue plates on his tongue. This is called Huashe in the local area. It is also the best hunting dog. Although there are two more Only the quality is a little worse, but it is not comparable to that of ordinary hunting dogs.

Lu Jiansheng originally planned to buy only three. After all, in this era of lack of food and clothing, it is not that easy to raise five at one time.

But the more he looked at these white dragons, the more he liked them, especially when he thought about having five white dragons to protect him in the future. Not only would he have no trouble hunting in the mountains, but he would still be able to fight even if he encountered a pack of black and blind wild wolves.

"How about brother? I didn't lie to you! My dog ​​is also good-looking. You can't see such a dog in our local area. Which one do you like?"

The young man saw Lu Jiansheng looking at the dog carefully, so he hurriedly introduced him from the side.

"I want all five."

Lu Jian Shengren smiled when he saw this and rubbed the dog heads, feeling very satisfied.

Lu Erniu asked puzzledly.

"You don't understand!" Lu Jiansheng smiled.

"Brother Jiansheng, why did you buy so many dogs?"

"Five? Are you kidding me, brother? These dogs are quite edible." The young man couldn't help but suspect that he had heard wrongly.

"Oh~" Lu Erniu touched his head honestly,
  Just as he was about to leave, Lu Jiansheng suddenly remembered that he had forgotten one thing. He was still a puppy. He still had a long way to go back home, so he should also get the kennel basket back.

These little puppies were well-behaved and not restrained in his arms. They just looked back at the place they left just now. Grandma barked twice, then turned her head and rubbed Lu Jiansheng's body.

Without thinking much, he hurried back to the entrance of the alley, before the young man could leave! Looking at Lu Jiansheng who came back, he said, "Brother, don't you regret it?"

"Just these five, here's five dollars for you."

Lu Jiansheng smiled and said, "No, it's inconvenient for me to hold these puppies, and the weather is cold. Your basket isn't worth much, so just give it to me as well."

Without thinking, Lu Jiansheng put the money into the young man's hand, then left with a few puppies in his arms.

"Uh... okay! But you have to treat these dogs kindly."

This young educated youth is still very talkative, and Lu Jiansheng can tell that these dogs have been weaned for a few days, and each of them is still very energetic. This young man must not have treated them badly, and they probably cannot afford to keep them as he said.

"Don't worry." Lu Jiansheng said slowly.

He took the basket from the young man's hand, put the five puppies into the basket, and left with them in his arms.

Immediately after
  Lu Jiansheng took Lu Erniu to the supply and marketing cooperative. Lu Erniu was pulling a cart on the way. Lu Jiansheng became more and more happy as he looked at these little puppies.

He reached out and teased the little puppy. Even though he was small, he was very smart. He seemed to know that he was their master and licked his fingers with his tongue in a flattering manner.

Lu Jiansheng came to the supply and marketing cooperative, leaving Lu Erniu outside looking at the carts and puppies. He immediately went to the shoe sales area.

The last time he came to the county town, he wanted to buy a new pair of shoes for the two little guys and Bai Ruoxi, but he didn't have the money at the time.
  There is no sale in the countryside. The countryside is poor these days. Everyone makes their own clothes and shoes from scraps of used rags. They have to mend them for three years. No one is willing to buy them at the supply and marketing cooperative, and it is not cheap.

Lu Jiansheng bought a pair of floral cotton-padded shoes for each of the two little guys. Although they looked a bit vulgar from his current perspective, they were very popular in this era. A pair cost three and a half yuan, and generally only city dwellers could afford them. .

Lu Jiansheng bought another pair of corduroy cotton shoes with handmade soles for Bai Ruoxi. This year, women's styles were relatively single.

Of course, he didn't treat himself badly. He bought himself a pair of large-toed shoes with inner wool. The toe is made of cowhide, the upper is canvas, and there is thick wool stuck to the inside of the shoe. These shoes used to be military shoes, but they started in the 1970s and 1980s. Sold at a supply and marketing cooperative, it is not only warm but also waterproof.

The shabby old cotton shoes that Lu Jiansheng usually wears, padded with wheat straw, are not very warm at all! When I was hunting in the mountains, it was okay to walk, but when I stopped, my feet felt stiff from the cold. The shoes were good, but this pair of woolen big-toe shoes cost 7.6 cents a pair.

After buying the shoes, I took advantage of the situation and bought five or six pairs of nylon socks. These socks are very strong and keep warm when worn. Originally, Lu Jiansheng wanted to buy new clothes for his mother and daughter, but there were no ready-made ones in the supply and marketing cooperative. Things like Guangzhou these days In a small county town, most of the cloth clothes are made by oneself, and those who have some money usually go to a tailor shop.

Then Lu Jiansheng bought another metal flashlight. This thing will be used sooner or later when hunting in the mountains!

After a while, Lu Jiansheng bought Lotus brand MSG, salt, five-spice powder, sugar, and other cooking condiments. As well as pots and pans, nails and wire.

There was a huge pile of stuff piled on the counter.

This stunned the salesmen at the supply and marketing cooperative nearby. Even the young female teller beside him couldn't help but glance at Lu Jiansheng.

The customers in the supply and marketing cooperative all looked at him with envy.
  "To buy so many things in one go, this is the ten-thousand-yuan household in our county! This is too generous,"

"No way! Look at the rags he's wearing! Doesn't it look like that?"

"Who knows? I guess people like it."

However, this era was still very conservative, so no one came over to strike up a conversation.

Just when Lu Jiansheng was about to check out, he saw the silk headdress hanging behind the counter. Silk headdresses were all the rage in the 1980s, and many young girls and wives on the street would tie such a headdress in their hair.

Even a little girl of eleven or twelve years old can show off her hair for days. Bai Ruoxi now uses a rope to tie her hair, which makes Lu Jiansheng's eyes light up.

　Please advise! Also, if you buy too many dogs, how should you name them? ?
