Chapter 210: Ginger is still spicier when old

“No! Our family has a grudge against the Yue family, so we can’t sell this good thing to Yue Feng! This kid has been supporting Yangba since the fall of this year. If he can finally defeat the tiger cub, he will be even more arrogant!”

Zhu Jianshe still has some old-fashioned thinking. A grudge is a grudge. Even if he can make money by selling the point, he will not give this opportunity to his enemy. This is the bottom line!

“So, who should we sell this spot to?”

Zhu Jianshe frowned and thought for a while: “Sell it to the Zhang family, or the Zhou family, forget it, just sell it to both families!
The Yuefeng Hunting Team has stolen the limelight from the Zhang and Zhou families in the village. Now that they have a chance to show off, both the Zhang and Zhou families will surely be interested!
When selling, I want cash, and the price can be appropriately lower! Just say that Wang Xiaonian and Wang Junqiang also know about this matter, whether it can be won, whether there will be other people going, no guarantee! “

Hearing his father’s plan, Zhu Erhai’s heart moved.

Yes, no one stipulates that one must sell out at this time, as long as you say it in advance when you are selling it!
Both the Zhang and Zhou families have hunting teams, and Zhang Junhong and Zhou Yuanchao also have guns. After hearing the news, they decided to give this opportunity a try.

After the dog dies, the meat can be sold for more than ten or twenty yuan. If we sell some to the Zhang and Zhou families, both families can earn at least several dozen or even a hundred yuan. If we calculate it this way, we are not at a loss and we can even make a profit!

After figuring it out, Zhu Erhai couldn’t help but sigh, “Old ginger is still wiser.”

“Okay, I’ll do it after dinner! We can’t put this off. I’m going to drag the dead dog back from the mountain to sell the meat. Junqiang and I had a quarrel. If Xiaonian and Junqiang also have some ideas, it will be difficult to deal with! It’s better to remember this sooner rather than later!”

“Well, go after dinner and tell you clearly what I told you. Don’t offend the Zhang family and the Zhou family! Know the limits!”

“good!”

……

On the other side, when Yue Feng came back from delivering goods in the city in the evening, he passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a butterfly hairpin for Wang Xiaona. In those days, butterfly hairpins were still very rare things. When you wore it on your head, the butterfly wings would flicker when you walked. Although it didn’t cost much, it was definitely classy to use it to coax little girls.

In recent days, Yue Feng has been visiting Wang Xiaona’s house every two or three days, staying for two or three hours each time. Their relationship is getting warmer and they are becoming more familiar with each other.

Yue Feng, the experienced man, was thinking about this when he bought the hairpin. Once the small gift is given and the relationship is advanced, he will take the opportunity to hold hands or something.

After dinner, Yue Feng was lying on the edge of the kang playing with the big black eagle when he heard a knocking sound on the window at the back of the house.

“Who?” Yue Feng sat up straight immediately after hearing the noise.

“Brother Feng, it’s me, Xiaonian. Open the front door for me. You have a dog at home and I’m scared!!” Xiaonian shouted in a low voice.

“Come through the gate. My dog ​​doesn’t bite!” Yue Feng responded, put on his shoes, put on a thick cotton jacket and went out of the house.

The four dogs in the yard were free at night, and when they saw Yue Feng coming out of the house, they immediately surrounded him.

“Go back to your kennels and stop barking!” Yue Feng shouted, and the four dogs immediately went back to their kennels and lay down obediently.

After taking care of the dog at home, Yue Feng opened the door. At the door, brothers Wang Xiaonian and Wang Junqiang were already waiting there with their arms folded.

“Come inside!”

The three people entered the house, and Yue Feng led them directly to the west room where he slept, poured them two glasses of water, and then started talking.

“Come to me in the evening. What good news do you have? Xiaonian, Junqiang, drink some water!”

“Brother Feng, can you beat that tiger cub? Junqiang and I are here to sell you something!” Xiaonian didn’t even bother with the small talk and went straight to the point.

“Tiger cub? Lynx?”

“Yes! We went into the mountains with Zhu Erhai’s dog gang and encountered a big lynx. That thing was so tall, like a little tiger, and probably weighed over 100 kilograms! One was bitten to death by Zhu Erhai’s dogs, and was scared away by our gunfire!” Wang Xiaonian said concisely.

After hearing the general process, Yue Feng frowned and pondered for a while: “The lynx’s territory is very large. Even if I encounter it today, I can’t say whether I can find it if I go again tomorrow!”

“I know this, but I am basically sure that the lynx’s lair should be here! The mountain is now covered with heavy snow, and everything is buried in the snow. It is unlikely to move in the short term!”

Yue Feng nodded: “Okay, how much do you plan to sell this information for?”

“Or should we share the profits? If you kill it, Junqiang and I will share the profits!” Wang Xiaonian said in a very open manner. Yue Feng smiled and said, “Fighting a lynx is not like fighting a wild boar! A lynx hurts dogs, and ordinary dogs are like a father beating his son in front of it! So, we can only sneak around or ambush with guns.

Whether it’s a sneak attack or an ambush, there can’t be too many people. If there are too many people, the noise will be loud, and the tiger cubs will hide when they hear the noise!
If we divide the profits like we did with the wild boars, and if we are lucky enough to get them back, the profits will be split equally between us! A lynx skin is worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars! I don’t think your information is worth half of its price!”

Yue Feng has this kind of personality. He treats different people differently. If you open your heart to me, then I will definitely not be a pushover. But if we are just doing business or a cooperative relationship, then I will definitely not be a saint and a good person.

In Yue Feng’s eyes, Wang Xiaonian is the type of person who can only be cooperated with and is very efficient, but not someone with whom one can form a friendship.

“Then… how much do you think it’s worth? This news is only known to me, Junqiang and Zhu Erhai! Zhu Erhai definitely can’t fight on his own without a gun, so this point is probably safe!”

Yue Feng thought for a moment and said, “I can give you 150 yuan. If I can bring the lynx back, I will give you a dividend of 150 yuan!
If you fail to catch the lynx, or if someone else gets there first, you won’t get a single point! ”

“Isn’t this… a bit low?”

Wang Xiaonian also knew that lynx skin was one of the top-grade mountain products. Apart from tiger skin and sable skin, lynx skin was basically the best. The best, with the very rare leopard skin. These were the only valuable skins.

On the way here, Xiaonian and Junqiang had discussed this matter. They also knew that the only way to hunt lynxes was to surround them or ambush them. The tiger cubs were extremely vigilant and much harder to hunt than wild boars. If they wanted to succeed, the fewer people the better. If they could invest like last time, Yue Feng would have one gun and one share, which would count as two shares. Once they got this information, they would get one third of the profits, which was almost two or three hundred yuan.

“That’s all I can give you! A tiger cub is not a wild boar. A complete skin is worth a thousand, eight hundred dollars!

Even if Zhu Erhai can’t fight by himself, he will definitely sell some or borrow a gun like you and try his luck! Therefore, my chances of eating alone are very slim!

Besides, this thing is not easy to deal with. If you are unlucky, it can be fatal!”

Yue Feng spread his hands, and his body language made his attitude clear: either this is the price or not, then let it go.

Wang Xiaonian thought expressionlessly for two seconds and nodded: “Okay, one hundred and fifty is one hundred and fifty! We encountered this lynx today in the jumping stone pond on the east side of Dabojiwaizi in Forest Area No. 17, crossing two mountain ridges!
There is a stone cliff on the north side of Tiaoshitang, and there are several very large bluestones at the bottom of the cliff. After scaring away the lynx, I walked closer and saw a stone cave under the bluestone. There were lynx footprints at the entrance of the cave. It should be the lynx’s nest!”

After listening to Wang Xiaonian’s information, Yue Feng immediately recalled the terrain around Forest Area No. 17 in his mind.

Forest Area No. 17 was the area where Uncle Chen had an accident when he killed the bear in Cangzi last time. Yue Feng roughly knew the surrounding terrain, but he didn’t remember the Tiaoshitang that Wang Xiaonian mentioned. He probably had never been there in his previous life.

But it’s not a big problem if I haven’t been there. Yue Feng knows the terrain of Dabojiwaizi in Forest Area No. 17. It’s just two ridges to the east, so it’s easy to find.

“Okay, I’ll take this from you! When I kill the tiger cub, come and get the money! Don’t worry about the confidentiality, I won’t tell anyone!” Yue Feng nodded, indicating that both parties accepted the deal.

“Okay then, Junqiang and I will go back first!”

After finishing the business, Wang Xiaonian stood up and left without any hesitation. Yue Feng did not pretend to keep them, but sent them to the gate of the courtyard and watched the two brothers disappear into the night.

After entering the house, Yue Feng’s mouth curled up. Tiger cub, interesting. If there is no problem with this information, it would be awesome to beat the tiger cub back.

Anyone with a little common sense about nature knows that the higher the level of a predator, the smaller its overall number.

Because mountain animals such as black bears and wild boars are omnivorous, their overall density in mountain forests is relatively high.

But large beasts like lynx are different. They only eat meat, and lynx only eat live food, and almost never eat carrion. This determines that their overall density is very low. Every adult lynx has a large territory for hunting food.

Since the 70s, we have rarely heard about the tiger and the Siberian leopard, so the lynx is basically the largest cat that can be encountered in the mountains and forests close to human settlements.

If you can kill the tiger cub and bring it back, not to mention the profit from its fur, the name Xiao Yue Paotou alone will be well-known, which is even more impressive than killing bears and wild boars.

Thinking of this, Yue Feng tied his shoelaces, buttoned up his thick cotton coat, and left the house under the cover of night.

In the forest after it has just snowed, experienced hunters rarely choose this time to go up the mountain, but now time is of the essence and every second counts. If they wait until the snow hardens before going up the mountain, they will not have any hair left.

If you want to go up the mountain after the snow, there is a way. You need to use a sled made of wild boar skin.

Yue Feng’s family doesn’t have this thing. If they want to go up the mountain tomorrow, they must solve the problem of getting through the mountain. They have to chase the lynx with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and they can’t even see its shadow.
