Chapter 249 Delivering Money to Doors
“Huh? Let me take a look.”
The old man glanced at the deer head, frowned, took it into his hand and looked through it carefully.
“It really doesn’t look like a deer’s head, but more like a muntjac’s.”
“But muntjacs are not that big. Look at the horns on the head, they look like me. The size of my hand is almost the same as the palm of my hand.”
The size of a normal muntjac is not much different from that of a newly grown deer calf. This deer head is obviously not from a muntjac.
Wang Cunye pondered for a while, then suddenly remembered something, scratched his head and said, "Maybe it's the rhubarb muntjac? But the rhubarb muntjac is not from our place, it couldn't have come from the flood, right?"
Huang The muntjac is the yellow muntjac, also known as red muntjac and black-footed muntjac. It is more common in the south of the Yangtze River.
“Oh, the big yellow muntjac? It’s the red muntjac. If it’s this thing, then I know.” It’s normal.”
Chen Ling grabbed the head and looked at the sunset twice. The fur on the head was a bit fiery red, and it was most likely to be a barking deer.
This thing is migratory. In some years, it will migrate from the south of the Yangtze River to the Qinling Mountains. If there are few natural enemies encountered on the way, it can even cross the Qinling Mountains, go straight to the north, and reach the border of Inner Mongolia.
It has the same nature as local wild animals that migrate south in winter in search of places with abundant food.
“Hey, now I can add something new to my hunting gear room.”
Chen Ling happily shook his hands and stuffed the bark of the deer back into the room. In the backpack.
But it's a pity that I didn't get the bark of the barking deer.
According to Shanmao, the fur of the barking deer is fiery red, shiny and smooth, with no mottled colors, and is quite beautiful.
Of course, selling such things is not worth the money, it is mainly for collection.
Unfortunately, the local leopards don’t know where they took their fur. They didn’t see it anyway.
Originally, Chen Ling was still wondering whether he had secretly gone to the mountains to look for it while his father-in-law was not paying attention.
But when he got home and worked hard for two days, cutting and drying the medicine, and nailing a few snake boxes to put the snakes in place, he completely forgot about it.
And Ruirui has been restless in the past two days. After following Chen Ling into the cave, he was a little too energetic. He went to bed later and later at night, and he was not honest when he fell asleep. He was hungry for a while. I drank milk, and after a while I peed and had to change my diaper.
This little troublemaker is really annoying.
It doesn’t look like a little baby of about two months old at all.
“Attention, fellow villagers of Chenwangzhuang, please come to the brigade if your family has raised pigs this year. If any of you has raised pigs this year, please come to the brigade immediately.”< br>
While Chen Ling was worrying about his troublesome baby, the sound of a loudspeaker in the village came from afar.
Although the village is quite far from the farm, the wind is blowing from the southeast, and since his hearing is much better than ordinary people, it will not be a problem to hear the shouts clearly.
It was around nine o'clock in the morning. My father-in-law was drying medicine in the yard in front of the bamboo house. My mother-in-law was helping to take care of the baby, while Wang Susu took advantage of this time to sleep upstairs.
The second elder could also hear some vague sounds at this time.
Chen Ling then made a listening gesture, and then said to the two of them: "The brigade doesn't know what they are shouting. I will go to the village to see if there is anything we can do."
Before having a baby, he had been looking forward to it for a long time, but he never thought that raising a baby would be tiring at times.
I didn’t know that I had only been struggling with my baby for two or three days, and I felt tired.
Especially after not sleeping well for two or three days in a row, he felt a little bored and wanted to go out for a walk.
"Go ahead, don't forget that we agreed last year that you won't have to pay the public food this year, and now you have to pay it again."
Gao Xiulan held her arms for half the night, and now she slept very hard. The fragrant Ruirui frowned and said.
Chen Ling shook his head: "That's not possible. This is all agreed upon, not just one village or one household."
Last year there was a disaster, all the crops were destroyed, and the people suffered a lot. They were free of a year's worth of public food and supplies. Agricultural tax, this is what it should be.
How can I regret it easily?
So I walked to the village alone.
Halfway through, I saw Wang Zhenzhen leading a group of kids looking for cicada shells everywhere with bamboo poles.
Catching scorpions and looking for cicada shells are two things that country kids must do after summer vacation. They can play around and save pocket money.
These little monkeys were very excited when they found these two things.
"Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"
From a distance, Wang Zhenzhen stepped on the wall of a village house and waved to him.
“I heard the brigade’s loudspeaker call, I’m going to the village to have a look.”
Chen Ling answered and glared at her: "Climb on someone's wall again, be careful to step on the wall and get beaten."
"Don't be afraid, this is the third aunt's house, and the third aunt is very nice, she said Let us climb as we please.”
The little girl stood on the wall and shouted loudly.
Then the people inside the wall also laughed loudly.
“You must be rich, what are you going to do?”
"Brother Lihui, I'll go around the village and see what the brigade's loudspeaker is shouting."
"Ah, um, it's about the pig farmers. I need to go to the brigade to register. Listen to my brother They say someone is coming to collect pigs from the village below."
People in the courtyard shouted, and a man's head popped up from the wall and smiled at Chen Ling. It was Wang Lixian's cousin Wang Lihui, who used to run a business in the village. The one at the tailor's shop.
Most tailors are pretty clean.
Just like Wang Lihui, he looks similar to Wang Lishan. They are both lean men, not tall, but their temperament is far different.
One is sloppy and the other is neat and tidy.
If you don't stand together, you won't be able to tell that the two are brothers.
"Is there someone coming to the village to collect pigs? Let me take a look."
There was no shouting from the loudspeaker. Chen Ling was a little interested after hearing this, thinking that someone was coming to collect pigs. I don't know who it is. It wasn’t because of the surrounding floods that I came here to resell and make a profit on the price difference.
After all, prices in disaster-stricken areas are generally higher.
If so, ask them if they accept eggs.
If the price is right, you won’t have to go to the market to sell it yourself.
My son has been very noisy recently, so it’s not a problem for him to always ask his father-in-law to help him sell.
"Wait a minute, Fugui, I'll go with you."
Wang Lihui waved to him when he saw this, then jumped down from the wall and ran to find him.
"Really, you guys are not allowed to run up the mountain, do you understand?"
"I know, we definitely won't go up the mountain."
The little baby couldn't find enough cicada shells. The more time you look for, the less satisfied you become. If you gather together to discuss things, it is easy to run up the mountain.
The mountains are not clean during this season, so adults should be very careful when going up the mountains.
Chen Ling gave them instructions before walking towards the brigade with Wang Lihui.
After arriving at the brigade, there was a motorcycle parked at the door, and an old man and a young man were standing in the yard.
This is the person who came to collect the pigs.
Chen Ling walked in and saw that he actually knew him.
"Good guy, old acquaintance. Why don't you sell grain this year and harvest pigs instead?"
The old man among these two people is the one who took away Chen Ling's peanuts and soybeans last year. Old guy.
"Oh, it's you, the young man."
The old man smiled brightly when he saw it was him, "Your family also raised pigs this year? No, your family raised wild boar cubs last year. This is a grown-up ”
“Haha, why do you need to grow up? I should have killed this greedy kid.”
Wang Laishun said with a smile. "Except for dogs and cows, he raises everything else in his house just to eat meat."
The old man was stunned when he heard this.
Wang Lihui couldn't stop laughing.
Chen Ling suddenly wondered: "Apart from dogs and big livestock, don't you kill everything else for food?"
"Nonsense, we still have to sell it for money. Who knows how to eat like your child every day?" Wang Laishun got angry when he said this. His boss asked this greedy child to take care of him, and he killed two sheep in the family last year.
Two sheep, just for food. How much they will cost to raise until the end of the year, it makes me heartbroken just thinking about it.
The second brother had an awkward quarrel with the elder couple for a long time because of this matter.
"Hey, young man, have you killed all five wild boars in your family?" the old man who came to collect the pigs asked with a smile.
"Of course not. I gave two ends to my father-in-law and one to relatives and friends. We killed both ends at the end of the year." "Good guy, you are very generous."
< br>
The old man was shocked, and the young boy behind him also showed envy on his face. There are really few such generous people in the countryside.
"Old man, stop talking about him. He is the most capable person in our village now and makes money very easily. But you, where do you send the pigs you collect?"
Wang Lihui said.
After saying that, he pointed back to Wang Lishan who rushed here: "This is my brother. His family raises pigs every year. Don't fool people."
"Hi, How dare I fool you? Ask that young man, did I pay him a high price for the grain he collected last year?” Come here and register, and write down your situation clearly. As long as there are more pigs in your village, the price will definitely be higher for you. Everyone knows that the price of pigs is not good this year, and it is still going down. It can't wait until the end of the year. Don’t wait until the end of the year, sell sooner rather than later.”
If the price of pork is not good, the price of live pigs will not go up.
Several pig farmers were also very worried, so they all started shouting and surrounded the old man and his son asking questions.
No one registered even though I was asked to register, they just kept asking for price.
Finally the price was asked, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"What, the highest price is only three yuan? I won't sell it."
"Why is the price of pigs falling? Come on, stop coming here and fooling us. I heard this a while ago Fugui said that there were floods in the surrounding provinces and cities, just like last year here, the prices of various things outside must have increased again, otherwise why would you, a grain dealer, suddenly come to collect pigs? Pigs must be profitable. Money.”
"That's right, you told us that the price of pigs is not high. If the price is not high, how can you continue to work without making money? You dealers are the most heartless. Either you have a black name or a black price, and you will fool the people."
"..."
There are many pig farmers in the village this year, and Cui Laizi even raised two pigs. Everyone said something to each other, which made the old man stunned on the spot, with a blue face. He was blushing for a while, and his face was extremely ugly.
This situation is completely different from what he thought.
Other villages were as happy as fools when they heard that pigs were being harvested, because the price of pigs in towns and counties has indeed declined, and pork was not very expensive in the first half of the year, so they were afraid of losing money. There are quite a few people who are anxious to sell.
But things were different when we arrived at Chenwangzhuang.
Are all the people here so smart?
Seeing that he could no longer be fooled, the old man hurriedly explained that he came to collect the pigs on behalf of the big boss. It was true that he collected the pigs and transported them to other provinces and cities. The price must be the highest for the villagers. price.
But he told lies in the first place, and the more he explained later, the less likely he was to be believed.
Everyone shook their heads and dispersed one after another, unwilling to stay any longer.
Chen Ling also walked out and chatted with the Wang Lixian brothers and Chen Dazhi outside.
While chatting and chatting, I still felt uninterested, I found a chessboard, set it up outside the brigade yard, and started killing.
Seeing this, the old man had no choice but to call his son, said hello to Wang Laishun, then got on his motorcycle and left.
"Look at Fugui, this old businessman has definitely made a fortune. He has bought a motorcycle, and I don't know what his relationship is with the party secretary."
"Well, we don't know, then. But this old businessman is quite capable. Harvesting grain and pigs is not something ordinary people can do. ”
A few people were chatting and playing chess. When Wang Laishun saw them talking about their gossip, he also came over with a teapot.
When everyone saw it, they joked that Uncle Wu was getting some benefits, and helped others shout through the brigade loudspeaker.
"I must have forfeited the benefits. Am I that kind of person? They took the stamped purchase order, and many households in the villages and towns were sold to them. It was a big deal."
Wang Laishun said: "There are a lot of pigs raised in our village this year. I think the price of pigs is really not good recently. If the price really drops and it becomes difficult to sell, I want you to come and take a look. You won't suffer at all." "
"Don't suffer a loss? Uncle Wu, you almost suffered a big loss." Wang Lishan glanced at the old man and said with a sigh.
A group of people were playing chess and bickering, and soon after a while, the old businessman came over on his motorcycle again. This time, in addition to the father and son, he also brought someone else with him, a woman.
Somewhat coincidentally, Chen Ling also knows this woman.
It turned out to be Erzhu’s former best friend, Sun Yanhong.
Dear me, why did this woman get involved with this old businessman?
Chen Ling was stunned, feeling that his brain was suddenly a little weak.
After watching them come over and talk to Wang Laishun, everyone realized that the big boss of the pig collection was this woman.
"Fugui, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately."
After the chat over there, Sun Yanhong saw Chen Ling and greeted him with a smile.
“Very good, very good.”
Chen Ling smiled and nodded, “Sister Hong’s business is getting bigger and bigger.”
Last year, it was said that this woman's brother was taken down. At that time, in order to give gifts to people, he came over and begged to buy his eels.
It was really embarrassing at that time, but after not seeing each other for more than a year, this woman didn’t know how to get along, and she became high-spirited again.
Should I say it or not, this person is just different from other people.
Ordinary people can never make a fool of themselves in their entire lives. After they fall, they rise again.
“There is no business, I just can’t stay idle, so I am messing around with the few remaining cars at the freight station.”
Sun Yanhong smiled, turned to Wang Laishun and said, "Wang Party Secretary, please call me twice more and say that if you are willing to sell pigs, we are willing to give you part of the money in advance."
Wang Laishun had a good impression of this woman. When Er Zhu was arrested, he at least came over to help Er Zhu pay the rent and wages he owed. Just for this reason, he helped her and shouted twice.
This time the effect was good. As soon as the pig farmers who left heard that the money was given first, they all came over one after another.
"Give me the money first, which is part of the deposit. The price of pigs is much different from the price outside. I will replenish it for you. If it is less, you don't need to refund it..."
Sun Yanhong told people One pass condition.
Many of the villagers knew her and knew that she was Erzhu's former sweetheart, and most of them actually believed in her and said yes.
The father and son just looked at each other dumbfounded, thinking how could this matter be so simple as soon as they came here?
Actually, the reason was the same reason, just because she helped Erzhu settle the rent for the land and the wages for building the greenhouse. Based on this, the villagers were willing to believe her.
Sun Yanhong also felt a sense of accomplishment when she saw this, "Come on, folks, come and register."
The pig farmers in the village, including Wang Lixian, who raised a few wild boars, also joined in. Go ahead and register.
While registration was being done over there, Sun Yanhong came over and expressed her apology to Chen Ling.
It was said that some things Erzhu did last year, some of which were because of her, caused Chen Ling a lot of trouble.
The words are sincere.
This series of apologies made Chen Ling feel more and more uncomfortable.
After hearing the last thing, the woman finally couldn't bear it anymore. When Tu Qiong Dagger met, she actually wanted to buy wine from him.
This time Chen Ling was stunned again.
Then I secretly sighed in my heart: This thief is indeed not a simple thing. She is still so well-informed. It has only been a while since I learned that a leader bought wine from me.
As for why Sun Yanhong wanted to buy wine from him, no need to ask, it was nothing more than giving gifts.
"Okay, but my wine is expensive."
Since she wants to buy it, Chen Ling will definitely not refuse. At this time, he has already reclassified his wines in his mind. grade.
In view of the experience of selling wine last time, the price has been increased a bit.
"I know, I know, I heard someone say that your wine is a good thing, Fugui."
Sun Yanhong still had a smile on her face. Since she dared to mention this to Chen Ling, she naturally also Be mentally prepared to be ripped off.
This guy holds a lot of grudges, she already knew it.
Although he is joking on the outside, he actually records every account very clearly in his heart.
Chen Ling didn't bother to care whether she was evil or not. Since this woman came to give money, he naturally wouldn't turn her away.
I took her back to the farm to get some wine.
The last two jars of wine were sold to her for over 2,000 yuan. This guy is even comparable to Maotai.
"Boss Sun went to Fugui's house to get two jars of wine. I thought you were going with Fugui for something."
"What do you mean you took two jars? I bought it with money. A jar of wine costs more than a thousand yuan.”
"What? What? What? A jar of wine costs a thousand yuan, are you talking in your sleep?"
There were many people near the brigade at this time, and my eyes turned green when I heard this.
Sun Yanhong has a lot of thoughts. Seeing that there are so many people here, she gets more excited and yells: "Your village is extremely rich. My father-in-law knows how to make medicinal wine, and the leaders are all convinced after drinking it. They are willing to pay for it." "What the hell am I doing?"
Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this. The leader spent money to buy it. Damn it, is this still my father-in-law? This is inviting a living God of Wealth.
