Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 102 This is the God of Wealth!
Chapter 102 This is the God of Wealth!
“Okay, stop talking nonsense!” Yue Feng pulled Xiao Tao’s clothes, signaling him to stop talking.
Li Wentong was afraid that his son would get stuck in a rut, so he said meaningfully: “This is the first lesson for you kids. Going up the mountain is no joke. I managed to escape unscathed this time. If you go hunting in the mountains every year, you won’t get hurt!
Next time you go into the mountains, you must be respectful of the mountains and forests!
It will take until the New Year to recover from my injury. Looks like my hunting season is ruined too!!”
Yue Feng grabbed Li Wentong’s hand tightly at this time: “Uncle, don’t worry, I’m here for you! You and my dad should stay at home and recover from your injuries. I can also take care of my brothers and shoulder the responsibility!”
Li Wentong took Yue Feng up the mountain yesterday and observed him carefully from beginning to end, testing him both openly and covertly. Yue Feng’s performance was indeed remarkable, so after returning home, Li Wentong gave Yue Feng a very high evaluation in front of Yue Lei, saying that he was a natural hunter.
The original plan was to take him into the mountains for a few more days of observation and teaching, but now that an accident has happened, Yue Feng can only take over the team responsibility.
Li Wentong mentioned the wild boar that injured him again: “The one that picked my big follicle should be the one whose footprints we saw on the ridge when we climbed the mountain yesterday!
This guy must be a gun idiot, he is very dangerous!
I know you guys want to help me get revenge, but I remind you to be careful and cautious, and don’t treat them like ordinary wild boars!”
Yue Feng gave Li Wen a reassuring look and consoled him, “Uncle, don’t worry, Xiao Wen didn’t shoot him in the leg with the gun!
No matter how fierce the gun is, what can the three-legged creature do to it? I will fight it on the slope up the mountain. Xiao Tao will go up the mountain with me tomorrow! Let’s avenge our uncle!”
Thinking of the gun egg that had been shot in the leg, Yue Feng persuaded Li Wentong to agree to go up the mountain with the two brothers.
There are obvious differences in body structure between wild boars and domestic pigs, and the role of their hind legs is obviously much greater than that of their front legs.
There are many ridges on the mountain, especially the uphill terrain. If a wild boar has an injured hind leg, its speed in rushing up the slope will be greatly reduced, and the danger is indeed greatly reduced.
“I still suggest you take a long-term view on this matter. If you must go up the mountain tomorrow, you must get your father’s consent!” Li Wentong was still a little worried and did not quite support Yue Feng’s idea.
“I agree! If my leg injury hadn’t healed, I would have personally led a team up the mountain to avenge you!” At this time, Yue Lei’s powerful voice came from the door.
“uncle!”
“uncle!”
“dad!”
When everyone saw Yue Lei coming with crutches, they all greeted him.
Yue Lei walked into the house step by step, leaning on a crutch. He looked around with concern and then sat down on the edge of the kang.
“Brother!” Li Wentong greeted Yue Lei half a beat later when he saw him enter the room.
“Okay, just take care of them! We two brothers have really become brothers in distress this time! If you have nothing to do this afternoon, go up the mountain to catch some chicks so as not to delay the delivery. Tomorrow, the four of you brothers, go together!” Yue Lei finally made the decision.
“Okay, I promise to complete the task!”
Yue Feng saw his father make the decision and expressed his opinion in public. The younger brothers behind him relaxed their frowns when they saw their family members approved of them.
Wang Dabo quickly gave Li Wentong an anti-inflammatory injection, and the others also gradually calmed down.
The brothers were all thinking about going into the mountains to avenge Uncle Li tomorrow, so they said goodbye and went home for dinner, and then gathered at Yue Feng’s house.
They went up the mountain in the afternoon, and the harvest from falconry was average, but it was enough to get the job done. They were busy until the evening. Yue Feng rode his bicycle, tied the sow meat and game on the back seat, and delivered them to the canteen.
Niu Fusheng was quite righteous. When Yue Feng sent him sow and wild boar meat, Niu Fusheng did not take the opportunity to lower the price. Instead, he paid Yue Feng a price that was one cent lower than the market price of domestic pig meat.
This time we brought back nearly 80 kilograms of cleaned meat, at 70 cents a kilogram. The wild boar meat alone sold for 50 or 60 yuan.
After the normal handover was completed, Yue Feng lifted up a boar’s front leg from under the frame.
“The meat from roe isn’t as delicious as sow meat, and your cafeteria doesn’t need it, so I didn’t bring it all. This pig leg is a personal gift to you. You’re a cook, so you know how to process it to make the meat taste better!” Yue Feng said with his lips pursed.
“Hey, you killed two wild boars in one trip? One male and one female?”
Niu Fusheng was quite surprised when Yue Feng said that it was a boar’s front leg.
It is true that there are many wild animals in the mountains, but this is only relatively speaking. It is not easy for ordinary hunters to kill two wild boars at one time.
Yue Feng nodded: “Yes! If this bastard hadn’t heard the gunshot and rushed towards us, I think we could have left one or two more alive!
Don’t worry about eating this meat. When the weather gets cold, I’ll go up the mountain to release hawks every other day. When I have time, I’ll take people to hunt. Things like wild boar meat are indispensable!”
“Okay! Then I’ll take advantage of you!”
“Let’s go! We still have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative!” Yue Feng said hello and rode away on his bike.
When they arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, Yue Feng locked the car, then walked into the door of the supply and marketing cooperative carrying a roll of leather and a piece of fat sow pork belly.
“Sister Li! I’m here to bother you!” Yue Feng greeted Li Li behind the counter as soon as he entered the door.
“Hey, brother Yue Feng, you really brought me some skins! So many!!” Li Li didn’t notice the pork Yue Feng was carrying, and all her attention was on the skin board in Yue Feng’s hand.
“Look, this is the skins I have collected since autumn! By the way, this is wild boar meat, which I hunted in the mountains myself. It is not a good thing either. Take it home and try it!” Yue Feng took the opportunity to put the piece of pork, weighing about three or four pounds, next to the counter.
“Wow! The meat is so fat! Is it for me?” Li Li was not surprised to see the skin, but was quite surprised to hear Yue Feng say that he brought her wild boar meat.
“Well, this is a female wild boar weighing over 200 kilograms. The taste of wild animal meat may not be as good as that of domesticated fat pigs. Sister Li, you can just try it!!”
“What are you saying? Do you think I’ve never eaten wild boar meat? Female wild boars don’t have any fishy smell. They eat pine nuts and autumn nuts in the mountains every day. The meat of wild boars is even more delicious than that of domestic fat pigs!” Li Li happily carried the strips of meat to the back hall.
“Hehe, there’s nothing good in the village. I’m glad you don’t mind!” Yue Feng grinned.
“You are just a chatterbox. Let me bargain for you on these leather boards first. It’s getting dark soon. Don’t delay your return home!”
Li Li pretended to be angry and looked at Yue Feng. She untied the leather boards that Yue Feng brought, and then measured the sizes one by one, checking the quality, defects and so on.
Different hides have different grading standards. Autumn and winter hides are more valuable than spring and summer hides, male hides are more valuable than female hides, and whole hides are more valuable than hides with bullet holes, lassoes, and worn clips.
Because leather was a very important commodity for the country’s export and foreign exchange earnings at that time, the standards set were quite detailed, and sales clerks received meticulous training before taking up their posts.
“Did you obtain these skins by using drugged bait? The skins are of perfect quality without any flaws, and your skinning skills are also good! Huh? No, the skins peeled by using drugged bait will not have such even skin on the back. You skinned them in a very short time after slaughtering the animals on the spot.” After an inspection, Li Li was a little surprised. The skins that Yue Feng brought, whether they were greyhounds or yellow leaves, were all perfect products without any flaws. This was rare among hunters who sold skins.
Li Li thought, based on her simple understanding, that if she wanted to achieve this, she could only do so by placing bait to catch prey. However, judging from the uniformity of the leather on the back, it did not seem like that.
Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “I don’t usually play with bait, these skins were caught by me with an eagle!”
“Using a hawk? No wonder! Hawks catch live prey. I didn’t expect you have the skill to release hawks? Apart from you, I haven’t heard of anyone else who can do this in Fengcheng!
There are 22 male greyhound skins, all of which are top quality. The current market price is yuan per skin.
17 pieces of mother hides, also top quality, market price is yuan!
These two yellow leaves are both top-grade male skins, and each can be given 32 yuan! Do you think this price is okay?
The purchase price is now uniform across the province, and the skins you brought are all of full quality, so the price is right at the upper limit of the standard!”
Li Li was afraid that Yue Feng would think the price was too low, so she gave a very reasonable price and even gave a special explanation.
Yue Feng, an experienced person, knew the prices of furs and mountain products very well, and he knew that Li Li had no bad intentions in the leather rating.
Not only that, Li Li also used her position and authority to let Yue Feng take advantage of her.
Why do I say that? Because although the greyhound skins are all complete, there are still slight differences in size. Among the skins that Yue Feng brought, there are four or five male skins that are slightly smaller in size. If you are strict, it is okay to give them a half-grade rating.
But Li Li didn’t mention this at all. The size difference was not too big, so she just gave the highest price.
There are many tricks in the purchase of leather and mountain products. Even if the purchase price is unified across the province, there is still room for manipulation.
For example, the card standard is used to lower the price, and the goods are purchased at a lower price. Then, when doing the accounts, they are put into storage at normal standards, and the difference in price goes into the pocket of the salesperson.
This kind of thing is an unwritten rule in the industry in some places. The salesperson and the director and manager of the supply and marketing cooperative divide the money privately without anyone knowing.
“Okay, Sister Li, that’s whatever you say!” Yue Feng had no objection to the price.
“The total purchase price is 373.4 yuan! Check the order to see if it’s correct!” Li Li filled out the purchase order, and then put the category and price details on the counter.
Yue Feng took a quick glance, confirmed it was correct and nodded: “No problem!”
“Then put them into storage as normal. Selling these top-quality leathers of yours to the supply and marketing cooperative has been a great help to me. It has almost completed one-tenth of the annual purchasing plan!” Li Li said very politely.
“Okay, I’ll keep them all for you when I have more! By the way, our supply and marketing cooperative also accepts sable furs, right?”
“Can you still catch a sable???” Li Li’s eyes lit up when she heard Yue Feng asking about sable.
The three treasures of Northeast China are ginseng, sable fur and deer antlers. The sable fur here refers to sable, which is the leader in the leather industry. In the 1980s, it was the top luxury product all over the world.
Although there are many hunters around Fengcheng, only a few can get sable skins. From the beginning of this year to now, the entire supply and marketing cooperative has only received two sable skins, and they are old skins that have been saved from the past. Not a single new skin has been seen this year.
“Of course you can, but it’s a rare beast, and it’s hard to find! If you want to catch it, besides having good skills, you also need enough luck!” Yue Feng said very objectively and truthfully.
“Okay, if you catch it on the mountain, remember to send it here. I’ll ask the manager to give you the highest price!”
“it is good!”
After chatting for a while about sables, Li Li handed the cash and a copy of the purchase order to Yue Feng.
“Here is the cash and the purchase order, keep it!”
“Yes!” Yue Feng counted the money in front of him, and then put the money in his arms.
“Then I’ll leave first. I’ll come and play with you when I’m free!”
“Slow down on the road!”
……
Just like that, Yue Feng got on his bicycle directly after going out, and under Li Li’s gaze, he rode farther and farther.
When Li Li returned to the house, her colleague Mao Xiaomin, who had witnessed the whole process behind the counter, pouted and pinched the wild boar meat that Yue Feng had brought with her fingertips: “Tsk tsk tsk, drive slowly! Sister Li, why don’t I usually find you so kind! They even brought wild boar meat specially, this pork belly is so fat!”
Li Li and Mao Xiaomin usually have a good relationship. She didn’t get angry when she saw her teasing her. She raised her eyebrows and said, “You know shit! You have worked in the supply and marketing cooperative for so long, but you don’t have such good taste and you still laugh at me! This is the God of Wealth!!”
“He’s just a hunter from the village at the foot of the mountain. What’s the big deal? The purchase price you gave him was very high. Apart from completing the purchase plan, what else can you get? With so many skins, I thought you could lower the price a bit!”
Li Li stared at Mao Xiaomin in amazement: “Do you think there is no benefit in completing the acquisition plan? Isn’t the bonus at the end of the year real money?
There is really nothing wrong with this fur. Why should we risk the price and make trouble? Didn’t you hear just now that mink fur can also be obtained?
What if we get bear bile again?
Xiao Yue’s family is definitely an old hunter with a long tradition, and they have strong connections in the city. If you make friends with this kind of people, you will definitely not suffer any loss!”
“How do you know he has connections in the city?” Mao Xiaomin asked again.
Li Li shook her head: “You little bitch, you dare to laugh at me? I won’t tell you! This piece of pork belly is pretty good today. I’ll go home and make braised pork tonight!”
“Hey, Sister Haoli, just tell me!” Seeing that she couldn’t get an answer, Mao Xiaomin resorted to the sticky method and hugged Li Li’s arm and shook it.
Li Li whispered in Mao Xiaomin’s ear: “The last few times Xiaoyue came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a bicycle and a radio, he used tickets stamped with the seal of the Military Control Commission!”
“Ah…” Mao Xiaomin exclaimed in surprise, somewhat regretting that she had not been so enthusiastic when she saw Yue Feng coming to buy things several times before.
