Xing'an Mountains 1984: Starting from climbing mountains to support the family

Chapter 194 The Little Fox Who Knows to Act Coquettishly

As Chen Weidong was speaking, the voices of children were heard outside. He quickly stopped and walked out of the kitchen.

Liu Xueting couldn't help but smile when she saw Chen Weidong's flustered look.

"Dad, is this the prey you caught today? There are so many!"

"Dad, what is this? Why does it look so much like a deer?"

"This isn't a fawn, this is a camphor tree, don't get close to them or they'll bite you!"

The six little guys originally wanted to come over and touch them, but when they heard this, they immediately ran to Chen Weidong, staring at the five musk deer with their big eyes blinking.

"Dad, why is that belly so big? Is it about to give birth like the mother deer?"

Sanni asked in a baby voice.

"Sanni has really sharp eyes! These babies are about to give birth! Daddy should put them in our breeding farm first!"

Chen Weidong led the musk deer to the breeding farm. The little girls followed him happily, asking questions and jumping around happily with their short legs.

The camphor trees were locked in a mud-walled house on the farm, and then they were fed with corn, soybean meal, wheat bran, and a little concentrated feed.
When raising musk deer, you can also feed them some leaves, twigs, wild vegetables, weeds, crop straw, etc.
Generally speaking, musk deer are easy to feed, but the difficulty in breeding musk deer is mainly because musk deer are more timid than scorpion deer.

Moreover, this thing can jump very high. However, the fence of the breeding farm built by Chen Weidong is very high, so he is not worried about the camphor tree running away!
After he settled the camphor trees and fed the doe next door, he returned home with the little girls.

Chen Weidong had just sat down to warm himself by the fire, and the usually clingy little kid hadn't come over to be fussy yet.

In the fox den in the main hall, two little foxes crawled out of the den and ran over.
The two little foxes, with their bodies like small balls of fire, lingered at Chen Weidong's feet, and then tried to climb up his trouser legs and onto him!

"嘤嘤嘤~"

Unable to climb up, the two little foxes looked at Chen Weidong and made crisp and coquettish calls.

Then he rolled around next to Chen Weidong's shoes! Chen Weidong smiled! This little fox loves to act like a spoiled brat.

And its cry is very cute. No wonder people call it a vixen. This little fox is really smart and knows how to please its male owner.

Chen Weidong held the little fox in his arms. Compared with Liu Xueting and the little girls, the little fox generally prefers the big man Chen Weidong!

Of course it’s not that the little fox has really become a spirit. In fact, little foxes, kittens, etc. generally like to get close to men!
Chen Weidong originally planned to skin these six little foxes when they grew up, but the little girls liked them so much! Moreover, each of them was very obedient and clean!

Chen Weidong now plans to keep them as pets.

"Dad, I want a hug too!" Xiaowu ran over immediately when he saw it.

As soon as the two little foxes saw Xiaowu, they immediately snuggled into Chen Weidong's arms.

"Look, they don't want you to hold them!"

"Dad, why do they like you so much and not Wu Ni?"

"You carry them around every day, which little fox would dare to let you hold it!" Chen Weidong smiled.

"Little fox, come here quickly! Wu Ni will feed you some meat!"

"Boom~"

……

After dinner, it was completely dark. After Dani and Erni finished their homework, the children washed up and went to bed.

Chen Weidong was tired after a day's work, so he lay down on the kang and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Chen Weidong took Shitou Bingzi with him to sell wild boars and green goats!
After selling the wild boar and blue goat, Chen Weidong went home and bought some deworming medicine to wash the dogs and little foxes. It is important to keep the body clean, after all, there are many children in the family!

Raising deer and camphor trees is also a laborious and time-consuming task. My family is currently short of soybean meal and wheat bran.
Chen Weidong planned to go to the electric mill in the village to buy wheat bran, as the market would open tomorrow! Chen Weidong was tired after a day's work and was about to go to bed, but he heard Shitou and Bingzi calling him outside.

He quickly opened the door.

"Brother Weidong! I heard you say you're going to the village tomorrow! We also want to go shopping together tomorrow."

"Okay! I'll call you tomorrow!"

After the agreement, the two left. The next day, Chen Weidong brought Shitou and Bingzi to the village market. Chen Weidong bought a truckload of soybean meal and wheat bran, and also bought some jars and two large iron pots!

"Brother Weidong, why did you buy so many jars and two large iron pots?"

Shitou asked curiously.

"I plan to brew wine! And use it to make deer blood wine in the future!" Chen Weidong said slowly.

"Can deer blood be used to make wine?"

"Of course, deer blood wine has a history of hundreds of years. As early as the Ming Dynasty, there were records of deer blood wine.

However, this deer blood wine is also a kind of medicine, not everyone can drink it." Chen Weidong explained with a smile.

The soaking of deer blood wine is very simple, that is, mix deer blood and high-altitude wine in a ratio of one to five, stir, let the deer blood and high-altitude wine fully blend, and then let it sit for twenty-four hours.

After filtering out the sediment, you have the perfect deer blood wine.

When taking it, heat it slightly and drink it.

However, don’t drink too much, it’s about one yuan each time.

It can treat symptoms such as cold sensitivity due to yang deficiency, anemia, abdominal pain, impotence due to kidney deficiency, leucorrhea due to cold deficiency, and metrorrhagia.

People with yin deficiency cannot take it.

After explaining it to the two of them, Shitou and Bingzi's eyes lit up! They both had wives!
"Brother Weidong, when you make the deer blood wine, you have to let us taste it first!" "Haha, you guys can't miss it!"

The three of them chatted, strolled the streets, and bought things. This time, Shitou and Bingzi came because their wives asked them to buy things! Before Chen Weidong came, Liu Xueting also told him to buy some fabrics!

"Brother Weidong, look where the dogs are for sale!" While they were strolling around, Shitou pulled Chen Weidong and pointed to a stall and said.

"What? You want to buy a dog?" Chen Weidong glanced at the dog stall in front.

He was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed like a mountain man.

This mountain people do not refer to the people in the village, but the natural households living in the mountains.

In the past, there were some blind migrants who fled famine from the interior of China to the Northeast. They built shacks in the mountains and lived a life of working from sunrise to sunset.

They usually make a living by hunting and collecting herbs, and they also grow some food and vegetables near their shacks.

They usually don't go out of the mountains, but occasionally they will bring the furs or medicinal herbs they hunted down to exchange for daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt or wine.

These are the real mountain people.

"Well, Brother Weidong, I want to buy two dogs." Shitou nodded.

"I also want to buy two dogs." Bingzi also said.

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Chen Weidong thought for a while and then said.

Shitou and Bingzi usually followed him into the mountains to hunt, so they could afford to keep two or three dogs.

"Brother Weidong, please help us pick some later." Shi Tou continued.

"No problem, let's go and take a look first!" Chen Weidong nodded.

Needless to say, he will also help to evaluate it.

Bingzi and Shitou's dogs are good, and they are also beneficial to their hunting team.

The three men came to the mountain man's stall and saw six puppies in a wicker basket.

Two black, two yellow, and two black and yellow.

"Hey, isn't this Brother Erniu?"

Chen Weidong walked to the stall. The middle-aged man saw someone coming and looked up. Chen Weidong then realized that he knew this person.

"Who are you? You look familiar."

"I'm Chen Weidong, my dad is Chen Guangtian, I remember you had dinner at my house before! We even played together!"

Chen Weidong introduced himself with a smile.

"Uncle Guangtian's family. I was wondering why he looked so familiar. We haven't seen each other for many years."

Hu Erniu said enthusiastically.

This man is called Hu Erniu, and his father is called Hu Shanxue. They fled from Shandong to escape famine.
He had some friendship with Chen Guangtian, but of course it was not a deep friendship, just a few meals. Chen Weidong had eaten at Chen Guangtian's house and had met him once.

"Brother Erniu, how did you sell this puppy?"

Chen Weidong squatted down, reached out to pull the puppies in the basket, and asked.

"What do you mean by selling it for? Aren't you slapping me in the face? If you like it, take it. Take the basket too!" Hu Erniu glared and said unhappily.

"Brother Erniu, you misunderstood. It's not me who wants it, but my friends. They are following me into the mountains to hunt and are thinking of raising two dogs."

Chen Weidong explained quickly, he knew the other party was just being polite.

"Your friend wants it! These are hybrids of Mengxi and the first generation wolfhound. You can choose any one you want. Five dollars for two dogs!" Hu Erniu suddenly realized and gave a minimum price.

"Brother Erniu, I want to thank you on behalf of my friend. I'll go drink with you next time we go into the mountains."

When Chen Weidong heard the price, he knew that the other party was giving him face and asked for such a low price.

Normally, a good puppy with fine hair would cost five dollars in the market.

If it is a purebred Mongolian puppy, it will cost at least ten or twenty dollars.

This is the current price. In a few years, as hunters' income increases, the price of puppies will rise further.

It was only a matter of a few dollars, so Chen Weidong did not hesitate to give in.
Chen Weidong began to concentrate on selecting puppies.

Chen Weidong did not rush to touch the puppies. Instead, he reached out and snapped his fingers on the basket, carefully observing the reactions of the six puppies.

Then he took the puppies out one by one, put them on the ground, and observed the walking movements of the six puppies.

Finally, I picked them up and carefully observed them one by one, their fur color, limbs, mouths, and teeth.

The fur should be shiny, the limbs should be strong... After some selection, Chen Weidong picked out four puppies. He couldn't guarantee that they were the best, but they were definitely relatively good puppies.

"Weidong, you are really good at judging dogs!" Hu Erniu said with a smile as he looked at the four puppies selected by Chen Weidong.

"Brother Erniu, you're too kind. I was just guessing." Chen Weidong said modestly.

"Okay, you give me the four best dogs. I won't keep the remaining two. I'll give them to you!" Hu Erniu said with a smile.
