Chapter 72 Come to Uncle Zhang’s house to make money
Night falls, and the bright moon hangs on the branches.
The moonlight shrouds the ground clearly and brightly, with a layer of faint light, allowing people to see clearly the surrounding scenery.
All four of the group were dispatched.
It turned out to be three cousins. Uncle Zhang was worried and followed them. Following their hurried steps, he looked at the cheerful expressions on each of them and was extremely annoyed. Why did he agree?
What if Zhang Xingning sneaks up the mountain and gets into trouble without anyone noticing!
But they were so excited that if they were asked to go back, they would definitely not agree, so they could only follow with an uneasy heart.
“Don’t go deep into the mountains, just wander around the outer circle. Wolves and dogs are ferocious enough, let alone wild boars.”
“There are black ones at night. , Our sight is not as clear as theirs!"
Tan Shaoyang patted his uncle on the shoulder comfortingly, and comforted, "Don't worry, uncle, let's just go and have a look at the place where the iron clamp was lowered earlier! .”
"If what Xingning said is right, wolf dogs often come out to disturb the villagers' poultry, and they will definitely be able to see traces."
Uncle Zhang is not so sure. The villagers will not care about the people who install iron cages in the mountains. After all, wolfdogs are so smart and cunning that they can tell even the slightest thing is wrong.
How can it be so easy to fall into trap?
It’s so easy to pretend, the villagers have long since pretended to be gone.
They only think it is simple by imagining it.
Wolf dogs are very fast and will run away when they hear human footsteps. How could they stay here so stupidly that they can be hunted?
Even if he went together, he still felt that this trip would be in vain.
As a result, several people heard the noise before they even got close.
The barking from the wolf dog, although not so loud, can still be heard clearly.
Zhang Xingning was so excited that he almost jumped up.
"Are you pretending? I said, as long as you prepare food, how can these hungry stray dogs not be attracted?"
"I carefully selected those seafood, if you pretend If you don't get the wolf dog, you have to pat the thigh."
After hearing this, Uncle Zhang was speechless. He didn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt were. He didn't even have anything to eat, so he was willing to use it to tempt the wolf dog.
In this age of hunger, it would be strange not to fall for it! Uncle Zhang had no time to think. They rushed forward quickly and could only keep up.
As a result, I saw two adult wolf dogs with their legs clamped, dragging their legs and struggling desperately. If they hadn't been tightly restrained early in the morning, they would have been pulled free.
As soon as they got closer, they saw two pairs of green eyes, glaring at them fiercely, shouts coming from their mouths, and blood flowing sizzlingly from the wounds.
You can tell at a glance how strong the iron clamp is.
If a person is caught in this, it will definitely be trapped in the bones.
Uncle Zhang reminded, "Don't get too close. The wolf dog will definitely attack you crazily if it hurts."
"Bring a net and catch the wolf dog. Go back and solve it later.”
Not only do people grow thinner during this period, but wolfdogs also don’t get much fatter. An adult wolfdog weighs 60 pounds, which is considered very big.
After all, there is little food to eat, so they survive by nibbling food at the foot of the mountain. When they are hungry, they will catch poultry. There are very few people who want to gain weight of 70 or 80 pounds.
The hair of these two was plucked and the kidneys were removed. One weighs 45 pounds.
Zhang Xingning was very excited, and the hand holding the net was shaking, "This is too simple. If I had known, I would have come here earlier. In this way, I can catch all the wolf dogs on the mountain in one month."
“In this way, isn’t it easy to make money?”
Tan Shaoyang rolled his eyes, feeling that he was really whimsical.
"Brother, sleep in it at night and don't dream about falling out of bed. You are lucky enough to be able to hunt these two."
"Wolf dogs are spiritual. Yes, after these two adult wolf dogs are attacked, other wolves will definitely be wary. No matter how delicious you put them, they won’t be attacked again.”
“Hurry up. "Come on, don't wait. The two of them surrounded it and made a quick decision."
With the concerted efforts, the wolfdog, who was already extremely exhausted, had no ability to resist.
Once the net is caught, tied up, carried away.
The sound of wolves and dogs were heard along the way, and there was even blood lying on it. The deep wounds were painful to look at.
Hearing the howling of wolves, the villagers did not sleep well. They even ran out to look around the chicken coops, fearing that they were coming to catch chickens again.
Seeing that the chicken did not crow, but huddled aside, he went back to sleep.
Here, the Zhang family tied up the wolf dog and locked it in a small room.
I'm very tired. I'll finish it tomorrow morning.
I was thinking about things in my heart, so I didn't sleep well. It was dark and I woke up when the rooster crowed.
First boil a large pot of water.
Then the wolf-dog must be slaughtered, and after the slaughter, the kidneys must be peeled off and then sold.
After the two fresh wolf dogs were slaughtered, no one wanted to eat them, just hoping to make more money.
It was weighed, and it was pretty much the same as expected.
There are 88 pounds.
Tan Shaoyang watched them carrying it, "Uncle, let me sell this wolf dog outside. It won't be sold at a good price in the village."
Wolf dogs don't have much fat, so they are very useful to the villagers. For us, plump pork is definitely more popular. For the same price, we would rather buy pork.
But if you go to the county seat, it may be possible to sell it at such a price. Zhang Xingning was bored at home. When he had the opportunity to go out, he was eager to try, "Cousin, I will go with you."
Tan Shaoyang looked at him and was speechless, "The two baskets in the back of my car cannot hold you. Can you borrow a car to go to town?"
Zhang Xingning: "..." There are people in the village. Bicycle, baby, what's the same thing?
How could you be willing to lend it to him?
In the end, I could only watch helplessly as he rode away.
If he didn't pretend to be a wolf-dog, he could still sit on it.
The tires of the car are small, but there is no guarantee that they can support several hundred kilograms!
Tan Shaoyang took a detour and headed towards the county seat with a clear purpose. He didn't go anywhere else, so he just looked for the boss of the previous transaction.
He works in a restaurant, and his business is booming. There should be customers who can afford it.
When the boss saw him coming with the wolfdog, he gave him a thumbs up, "You can really make money with anything!"
Tan Shaoyang didn't mince words with him. He patted the wolf and dog meat and said, "Brother, let's see what price we can give you."
After the boss looked at it, he saw that the meat was fresh and clean, so he said, "Eight cents! This thing can't be sold for the price of pork."
Tan Shaoyang waved his hand and fried him a portion. The fragrance spread out, and all the guests who smelled it were not greedy, and it was not his turn at all. Tasting the taste, the pot of wolf and dog meat was immediately sold out.
The price is the same as braised rice. It’s fresh and no one thinks it’s expensive. Customers who can’t buy it are still waiting.
Tan Shaoyang said: "Brother, how about it? Can you sell it for 9 cents?"
The boss looked delighted and said, "That's a must!"
"I really admire your cooking skills."
88 kilograms of wolf and dog meat sold for 79.2 yuan. The boss directly gave him eight whole sheets worth ten yuan.
"The few cents will be deducted from the seafood then!"
Tan Shaoyang curled his lips. Anyone who can be a boss is very good at settling accounts. He thought it was so generous and gave it to him directly. Integers!
But it’s already good to be able to sell it for 90 cents per catty.
The same price as pork is unthinkable.
That is to say, the fried wolf and dog meat is fragrant enough to lure passing customers, otherwise it would never be sold at such a high price.
Tan Shaoyang didn't waste any time and took the money and returned to Zhang's house.
The whole family was looking forward to seeing him come back and gathered around him without asking. The light in their eyes showed their anticipation.
Tan Shaoyang parked the car and took off his soaked vest. In this weather, he could sweat even if he didn't move, let alone he had ridden hard all the way.
I wiped off the sweat stains on my body with my clothes, then went to the vat and scooped out a ladle of water, pouring it into my mouth.
After a moment of pause, he said to everyone, "88 kilograms of meat, sold for 9 cents 1 kilogram, made 79 yuan 2, the boss gave me 80 yuan, and I will take the seafood for those few cents when the time comes. Go fill it up.”
All four people contributed, and each person was allocated 20 yuan.
Tan Shaoyang was too lazy to forget the few cents.
Zhang Xingning took the money, his expression was one of excitement, rubbing it from left to right, wanting to laugh, and jumping up and down like crazy.
The excitement lasted only two seconds, and the money in my hand was snatched away. "What kind of money do children take? I don't know if it will be lost tomorrow. I will keep it."
Zhang Xingning was stunned and watched helplessly as his mother took away the money in his hand.
"Mom, how can I be like you? I don't even have the money to keep warm. The person who said I would buy you suet must not break his promise!"
Aunt Zhang Waving his hand, "No need, I can buy it myself. You spend money lavishly, but now it's gone in your hands in two days."
Speaking of which, Uncle Zhang and Zhang Xingwang's money was also confiscated.
After taking everything away, the freed up ten yuan was stuffed into Tan Shaoyang's hand.
"Third brother, your uncle and the others only got 70. You have put in a lot of effort, thank you for your hard work!"
Tan Shaoyang: "..."
In the previous life My aunt, who had always felt stingy, actually gave him 10 yuan without blinking an eye. The money was very valuable, and she didn't feel reluctant to part with it.
"Auntie, we are all going together. An equal distribution is the best."
Aunt Zhang waved her hand, "Don't refuse. If these wolf and dog meat are sold in the village, I'm afraid it will cost 50 cents per pound." No, you can sell it at the same price as pork."
"We all got it for nothing, how can we count against you as a family?"
Tan Shaoyang smiled, this Most people during this period were kind!
Grandma’s family loved him enough, and it was no fault of his maintaining this relationship.
"Then thank you, aunt."
The village couldn't hide things. Even if they didn't make any noise, it was still known that they hunted wolf dogs and sold them.
I wanted to join in the fun, so I gathered around.
"Old Zhang, have you hunted a wolf dog? I can smell the burning smell inside. They are all from the countryside. If you don't sell them, will you eat them yourself?"
Uncle Zhang followed Zhou Xuan, "My nephew knows someone, so he took it out and sold it. Next time he hunts it, he will definitely take care of everyone!"
