Chapter 1415: The Self-Familiar and the Fur Trader

Boss Zhao is a decent person, although many times, his respectability is disguised by conditions.

Even though his marksmanship is poor, he can also kill his prey with a full automatic.

As for other aspects, it will be easier to handle.

Because he has money.

But one thing, as long as word spreads, Boss Zhao will never have anything to do with dignity.

And that incident seemed to have become Boss Zhao's nightmare.

As the saying goes: care leads to chaos.

Since coming back from Yong'an Village, Zhao Weipeng has had nightmares for several nights, shouting a sentence repeatedly every time. How could this not worry Liang Xuemei as the person next to him?

But when Liang Xuemei asked, Zhao Weipeng interrupted. The more Zhao Weipeng interrupted, the more worried Liang Xuemei became.

Today there happened to be guests from Yong'an, so Liang Xuemei couldn't help but ask.

When she asked, Zhao Weipeng's expression changed instantly. When Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen all raised their heads, they all looked at Liang Xuemei blankly, and almost said in unison: "It's nothing!"

Who dares to say that?

There are so many people in the Zhao family every day, but no one dares to mention it. Even Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang, the two siblings were so foul-mouthed, they didn't dare to mention Er Zhao's cattle slaughter.

Liang Xuemei blinked twice. The three boys said it was okay, but they seemed to have rehearsed. It was strange that nothing happened.

"Okay, okay." Seeing that Liang Xuemei still wanted to ask, Zhao Weipeng waved his fat hand and said, "Let the child sleep quickly."

Hearing what Zhao Weipeng said, Liang Xuemei smiled at Zhao Jun and the others, then said a few words about having a good rest, and then left the room with Zhao Weipeng.

After sending the couple away, Jie Chen got on the kang and crossed his legs. He lowered his voice and said to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu: "From now on, when we go up the mountain to fight siege, we must be more careful."

"Yeah!" Li Baoyu nodded in agreement and echoed: "One mistake will lead to eternal hatred!"

Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and waved his hand to invite the two of them to sleep.

They slept well that night, and the three brothers didn't get up until almost six o'clock.

Zhao Jun and the other three packed up their bedding and came out of the room. Zhao Weipeng was chattering in Liang Xuemei's ears.

"Today's food must be hard!" Zhao Weipeng criticized Liang Xuemei and said, "Look at you cooking those two dishes yesterday."

Liang Xuemei, who was rolling out and cutting the dough and preparing to make wontons, heard this and looked up at Zhao Weipeng in surprise and said, "There were not enough dishes on the table yesterday?"

"When I was at Zhao Jun's house, every meal was so rich." Zhao Weipeng said so. Liang Xuemei took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will cook twenty dishes for you today."

"Don't fool me." Zhao Weipeng said again: "The shrimp crawler or something, choke the pot and pull it. For the prawns, wouldn't it be nice to make them into braised prawns? And for the crabs, chop them in half from the middle. It's half done, so put it on the ground and fry it for a while, then..."

"What do you think of me?" Liang Xuemei glared at Zhao Weipeng angrily and said, "You have turned me into a restaurant, right?"

Yesterday Liang Xuemei prepared a table of seafood, but most of it was steamed. It's not that she doesn't care, it's that she is too busy to do anything alone.

Zhao Weipeng was stunned by Liang Xuemei. At this time, Mr. Zhao came out of the back room, raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Weipeng, saying: "You know how to instruct people! You asked Xiaomei to do it, why don't you do it? Aren't you a cook?"

"What kind of cook is he?" The old lady of the Zhao family came out immediately after and said, "He raised pigs in the army earlier."

Zhao Weipeng: "..."

"Look at you, you are getting fatter every day!" Mr. Zhao glared at Zhao Weipeng and said: "You cook at noon and evening, make twenty dishes!"

"Make braised prawns." The old lady of the Zhao family said, "My grandson loves it."

Zhao Weipeng knew that he could not defeat these two people, so he curled his lips and started to help Liang Xuemei make wontons.

The wonton fillings are well mixed, including leeks, shrimps, and pork. The wontons are very delicious when cooked.

At the dinner table, the old lady of the Zhao family hurriedly served wontons to the three of Zhao Jun, for fear that they would be embarrassed and not full.

Zhao Jun ate three bowls and had more than fifty wontons. The old lady didn't stop until she saw that he couldn't eat any more.

After breakfast, Liang Xuemei washed the fruits for them. There are apples and pears.

The old man of the Zhao family made tea and poured it for several people one by one in small cups.

"Uncle." Zhao Jun took a sip of tea, and then said to Zhao Weipeng: "Please help me contact the collector."

Zhao Weipeng glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "Okay, I'll go to the village department and make a phone call later."

Speaking of the phone, Zhao Weipeng remembered something and said to Zhao Jun: "I heard them say the other day that there is a new phone that you can hold in your hand and you can make calls anywhere."

"Is that still a phone call?" The old man of the Zhao family answered, and Zhao Weipeng said: "Why not? What do you call me Big Brother?"

"Big brother?" Li Baoyu said with a smile: "This man is domineering!"

"Yes." Zhao Weipeng said: "After I celebrate the New Year, I'll take a look at my whole body, otherwise it will be too laborious to make a phone call."

"Brother... should we buy one too?" Li Baoyu said this to Zhao Jun. When he went out in front of outsiders, he tried not to call Zhao Jun brother.

"What should we buy?" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "How many phone calls can we make in a year?"

After talking to Li Baoyu, Zhao Jun curiously asked Zhao Weipeng: "Uncle, can't that thing be cheap?"

"It seems like tens of thousands." Zhao Weipeng's words made Li Baoyu and Xie Chen gasp in surprise. They thought that the thing was like a TV or a refrigerator, costing only 1,800 yuan at most, but they didn't expect it to cost tens of thousands.

"Huh?" At this time, Zhao Weipeng thought of something again and asked Zhao Jun: "Jun, are you ready to buy a car? They have a man who is in urgent need of money. He just bought his 212 less than half a year ago, so why not buy a new one? Same, but much cheaper.”

"Uncle, I won't buy it yet." Zhao Jun said: "Money is tight recently, and I need money for buying goods at home. Now I have the great liberation of Xiao Chen, and the motorcycle my brother-in-law bought for me. Come out and go in Yes, it’s enough for whatever you do.”

"What are you talking about... If you are tight on money, I will help you first." Zhao Weipeng said: "If you buy his car, you can save 15,600 compared to a new car. How appropriate is this?"

From what Zhao Weipeng said, the person selling the car was really in a hurry for money. Upon hearing that he could save 15,600 yuan, Li Baoyu and Jie Chen winked at Zhao Jun one after another.

"Uncle, I won't buy it yet." Zhao Jun ignored the glances of the two brothers, and then declined Zhao Weipeng's kindness, saying: "We are in the forest area, let's drive that car, it's not very practical, just to save face.

Our business has been completed and is now starting. Money is needed everywhere. I think if I have the money to buy a car, I’d better use it wisely. "

Although Zhao Youcai owed everything in one day, he was right in one thing. Although the big jeep is good, it is not practical for Zhao Jun's family.

If you go up the mountain to make a siege, you won't be able to pull out the blind bear, nor can you pull out the cannon eggs.

If you go to the fields to farm, you won't be able to pull out manure, nor will you be able to pull out much grain.

But Zhao Jun knew that Zhao Weipeng had good intentions, and others would advance money to him. But in the past, when I was planning to buy a car, I didn’t do any business. Nowadays, doing business has brought about a famine. If he buys such a car, Zhao Jun will feel that he can't afford it.

"Look at this kid." The old lady of the Zhao family pointed at Zhao Jun and said to her old man, "How practical he is!"

"Yes!" The old man nodded and said, "With this child, my parents will be relieved."

At this moment, there were dogs barking outside the house, both in the front yard and in the backyard.

In the front yard is Zhao Weipeng's dog, and in the back yard is the red dog given by Liang Zhanshan.

Liang Xuemei went out to welcome him, and after a while she came back and said to Zhao Weipeng: "Hurry, there's a call, saying I'm looking for you."

Zhao Weipeng stood up after hearing this and said to Zhao Jun: "You guys sit down, I'll answer the phone, and then I'll ask you about the skin collection."

Zhao Jun responded and chatted about home affairs with Li Baoyu, Jie Chen and the two elderly people of the Zhao family.

About fifteen minutes later, Zhao Weipeng came back from outside. As soon as he entered the room, he asked Zhao Jun: "Do you still have the leopard skin in your hand?"

"No more, uncle." Zhao Jun said: "There are few things there, so it's hard to fix them."

"Tsk!" Zhao Weipeng smacked his lips. After sitting down on the sofa, he said to Zhao Jun: "Find a way to make two pieces. Someone will charge a high price."

Having said this, Zhao Weipeng raised his hand and gestured, saying: "Sell two and you can exchange for the 212."

When Zhao Jun heard this, he looked at Li Baoyu and Jie Chen, and all three of them laughed. Li Ruhai's theory of "waiting to get rich" is quite popular in the boss market.

"Okay." Zhao Jun responded with a smile: "We are going to unearth another leopard. I will knock it high and low."

"Huh?" After Zhao Jun finished speaking, the old man of the Zhao family asked Zhao Weipeng, "Have you asked anyone about the child?"

"Asked." Zhao Weipeng looked at Zhao Jun and said, "I also asked you about the bear bile."

After hearing what Zhao Weipeng said, Zhao Jun did not interrupt and quietly waited for Zhao Weipeng's next words.

"Let's go to Hebei on Sunday." Zhao Weipeng said: "When we arrive in Anguo next Monday, we will go to the security hall. He collects dried bear bile and pays the highest price."

"Uncle." As soon as Zhao Weipeng finished speaking, Zhao Jun said, "We can't stay for that long. We are still waiting for money at home."

"It's not easy to come here, you just stay at home for two days." Zhao Weipeng said: "The boss of the leather collector will go to Beijing on Sunday and will be back on Tuesday. What I want is that we will go there on Monday to sell bear bile. , I’ll ask him to sell my leather again on Tuesday.”

"Sunday... today is Thursday." Zhao Jun thought about it in his mind and said to Zhao Weipeng: "Uncle, how about we leave today."

With that said, Zhao Jun pointed at Li Baoyu and Jie Chen and said: "The three of us are leaving today and will arrive tomorrow afternoon or evening. After that, we will go find the boss the day after tomorrow. Isn't he leaving only after tomorrow?"

"This is not possible!" After listening to Zhao Jun's words, Zhao Weipeng waved his fat hand and said: "We are home, we have to stay for two days before leaving! You don't need to worry about the money from Lao Tao. If it doesn't work, I think Find a way to send it to him."

"That's not necessary, uncle." When Zhao Jun heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "I'll just give it to them after the New Year."

"Then why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Zhao Weipeng said to Zhao Jun: "Your brother hasn't come back yet. I said you were coming that day, but he insisted on coming back to see you."

As soon as Zhao Weipeng finished speaking, he heard a dog barking outside. Zhao Weipeng raised his head and looked out the window, and suddenly said happily: "Oh, just as I was talking about him, he came back!"

Upon hearing that her eldest grandson was back, the old lady of the Zhao family stood up on the sofa.

Soon, Liang Xuemei's surprised voice came from the outer room. But from what Liang Xuemei said, it seemed that her son had brought someone back.

Immediately afterwards, Liang Xuemei entered the room first, waved to Zhao Weipeng and said, "Come on, we have a guest."

Zhao Weipeng stood up and saw a big fat boy leading two people in from the outside.

The big fat boy is about the same height as Zhao Jun, but his body can fit two Zhao Jun.

Judging by his body shape, you can tell that he is Zhao Jinhui, the son of Zhao Weipeng.

Zhao Jinhui was followed by two people, a young man and a middle-aged man. They looked very similar, and they knew they were father and son without any identification.

Zhao Jinhui first introduced Zhao Weipeng to the two people, and then introduced the two people to Zhao Weipeng, saying: "Dad, this is my classmate Wen Ming, and that is my uncle Wen."

As a junior, Zhao Jinhui could not mention the names of his elders, but his classmate's father and son reported their family name and said that their name was Wen Hongchang.

Then, Zhao Weipeng briefly introduced the two elderly people in the family to the Wen family and his son.

Next, it’s time to introduce the three of Zhao Jun.

But at this moment, Zhao Jinhui took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his hands to grab Zhao Jun's hand, shook it and said, "You are Brother Zhao Jun, right?"

"Ah..." Zhao Jun was caught off guard by Zhao Jinhui's familiarity. Before Zhao Jun could speak, Zhao Jinhui had already let go of his hand and said to Li Baoyu, "You must be Li Baoyu, right?"

"Ah!" Li Baoyu shook hands with Zhao Jinhui blankly, and then heard Zhao Jinhui say: "We are older, but my birthday should be older than yours. I am on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."

"Ah..." Li Baoyu didn't know what to say, but at this moment Zhao Jinhui let go of Li Baoyu's hand, turned to Jie Chen and said, "You are Jie Chen, right?"

Jie Chen held Zhao Jinhui's hand and blurted out, "How do you know?"

"I heard what my dad said." Zhao Jinhui said with a smile: "Li Baoyu is a tall man, and Brother Zhao Jun has thick eyebrows and big eyes. I recognize them both, and you will definitely be the one to be dismissed."

Hearing Zhao Jinhui's words, Zhao Jun and others laughed, but Jie Chen blinked, feeling that something was wrong.

"Brother Zhao Jun!" After Zhao Jinhui let go of Jie Chen's hand, he gently supported Zhao Jun's arm with one hand and reached out to Wen Hongchang with the other, saying: "My dad said you came here to buy leather, so I brought him here specially for you. ”

"Ouch!" Zhao Jun quickly stepped forward to shake hands with the Wen family and his son, while Zhao Jinhui introduced him at the side, saying: "Uncle Wen is doing business in Xiji, and the business is huge."

Zhao Jun and Wen Hongchang exchanged a few polite words, but Zhao Jun did not expect Zhao Weipeng and his son to be so familiar with each other.

At this time, Zhao Weipeng called everyone to sit down, and the old man of the Zhao family happily showed off his tea making skills.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Zhao Jun asked Li Baoyu and Jie Chen to go out and come back with three leather rolls.

One has gray skin, one has large skin, and one has yellow leaves.

Looking at the three leather rolls placed in front of him, Wen Hongchang smiled and said to Zhao Jun: "Looking at this technique, it seems that it came from Changbai Mountain."

Zhao Jun smiled faintly, and Wen Hongchang picked up the gray leather roll, unfolded it and spread it on his legs. He stroked it with his hand against the hair, then handed it to his son. After Wen Ming, he gave instructions: "You see, this fur is much better than our northern squirrel."

"Northern squirrel?" Li Baoyu whispered softly. Wen Hongchang heard this, looked at Li Baoyu, nodded with a smile, and said: "Squirrels from the Yanshan Mountains, but the quality of their fur is incomparable to yours, so there is no way to export it."

"Is our Yanshan squirrel different from theirs?" Zhao Weipeng didn't go to the mountains. He didn't know much about these things.

"It's different." Wen Hongchang laughed and said, "Let's face it, it's quite strange. Things like wild boars, roe deer, leopards, and golden eagles are the same in Yanshan and Changbai Mountains, but this squirrel is different."

"Leopard?" Zhao Weipeng caught some information from Wen Hongchang's words and immediately asked: "Are there any leopards in Yanshan?"

"Yes." Wen Hongchang said: "There are no tigers, but there are leopards and lynxes."

Speaking of this, Wen Hongchang paused for a moment, and then added: "Lynx skin is quite valuable, leopard skin is slightly less valuable."

After hearing what he said, Zhao Weipeng looked at Zhao Jun. Zhao Jun smiled lightly. This situation was not surprising. If Wen Hongchang knew Li Ruhai, he would have sold the leopard skin for a sky-high price.
