Chapter 229 Red Deer Cubs Sell at High Prices
Yue Feng stood at the door and watched his father-in-law Ganzi ride his bicycle out the door, then he strolled into the house.
Dang Dang Dang!
“Who is it?”
“you guess!”
“Hate!”
Yue Feng pushed open the door of Wang Xiaona’s west room and walked into Wang Xiaona’s boudoir with a flattering face.
“Hehehe, did you miss me?”
“I didn’t think so. What are you talking about? That’s weird!”
Wang Xiaona actually knew that Yue Feng was coming, but out of girlish reserve, she hadn’t left the house.
“Hey~ Then I’ll leave?” Yue Feng teased her deliberately.
“Let’s go! There’s no one at home. If you don’t leave, you’ll take advantage of me again!” Wang Xiaona said, covering her mouth with her hand, reluctantly accepting.
Yue Feng was still thinking about the fact that he didn’t stick out his tongue during the last kiss, so now was a good opportunity.
“Hehe, now that you mention it, I’d be stupid if I walked away again. I won’t walk anymore. Move to the side and hold the edge of the kang halfway!”
Yue Feng casually took Wang Xiaona’s soft and boneless little hand, then turned sideways and moved his big butt toward the edge of the kang.
Wang Xiaona said no, but her body was very honest. She let Yue Feng hold her hand with her cheeks slightly blushing.
“Close your eyes and I’ll give you another good thing.” Yue Feng only had a few tricks back and forth, and now he used the same trick again.
Wang Xiaona covered her mouth and smiled, shaking her head: “No! I have a mouth ulcer, it’s contagious!”
“Let me see!”
After saying that, Wang Xiaona let go of her left hand that was covering her mouth, and she actually got a mouth ulcer.
In the winter of this era, things like vegetables and fruits are relatively scarce in the Northeast and lack the corresponding nutrients, so mouth ulcers are very common.
“You really have a mouth ulcer! It can be cured by eating some oranges!” Yue Feng said seriously.
“Where can I buy oranges in this freezing weather? Never mind, it will be fine in a few days! Did you bring some meat to my house? I heard you talking to my dad in the yard!”
“Well, I cut some venison for your family when I came here!
This time we went up the mountain and shot two deer, one big and one small. We killed the big deer, dragged back half of it, and left the other half to Uncle Zhao on the mountain!
There is also a half-grown elk calf tied up at home!
By the way, I will drive the carriage into the city to sell the fawn later, or I can take you into the city with me?”
“Take me into the city? That’s not a good idea, right?” Wang Xiaona was moved when she heard Yue Feng’s suggestion, but she soon hesitated.
She is a girl and hasn’t even gotten engaged to Yue Feng yet, but it’s a bit of a bad influence for her to go out with someone else.
“Now everyone in the village knows that we are dating, what are you afraid of! I call the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative sister. I will take you to meet her and buy some delicious food!” Yue Feng instigated again.
“Well, what time can you come back? It won’t be too late!”
“We can be back before dark! We can drive the carriage back and forth quickly!”
“Okay! Then I’ll pack up and change into some thick clothes!”
“Okay! You just pack up at home and wait for me. I’ll go to the stable to harness the carriage and come over to pull you later!”
“Row!”
It’s good to be young, you can do everything in a hurry.
Yue Feng originally thought that since his father-in-law was not at home, he could have a good meal or something, but he changed his mind because his wife had a mouth ulcer. The little girl didn’t have much to do at home, so after being instigated by Yue Feng, she immediately planned to follow him into the city.
After leaving Wang Xiaona’s house, Yue Feng carried the two kilograms of meat and strolled to the village stable, where there were three horses, two mules and two cows, all of which were collective livestock of the village.
The person living in the stable is a middle-aged man named Li Cunshi. He had injured his left leg when he was young, so he had a limp.
The uncle was a bachelor who had never married. He took care of the livestock for the production team, and the team took care of his food and drink.
Because Yue Lei could also drive a cart, every year when the production team was working, Yue Lei would deal with Lao Li, so Yue Feng’s family had a good relationship with Li Cunshi.
“Uncle, are you home? I’m here to borrow some animals!” Yue Feng walked to the door of the small mud house next to the stable, carrying the meat, and knocked.
“I’m here, just come in!” Li Cunshi quickly came out wearing a military coat.
The hut he lived in was a single room. You could see the inside of it when you opened the door. There was a coal stove with a chimney in the room. There was a lot of coal in the stove, so the room was quite warm.
“My father asked me to bring you some venison! Here’s the note for borrowing the carriage, take a look!”
Yue Feng handed over the strips of rice and venison, but did not go into the house.
“Come if you want to. You still care about this old man like me! Are you in no hurry? Come in and have a drink of water!” Li Cunshi took the meat with a smile.
“I won’t go into the house. I’ll drive the carriage into the city and come back the same day!”
“That’s fine. I’ll take you to pick a horse! You have little experience in driving a carriage, so harness the bay horse. It’s an honest horse with a steady temperament!”
“Okay, I’ll do as you say!”
Soon, Uncle Li helped Yue Feng to lead the horse out, then harnessed the carriage in the yard and handed the reins of the chestnut horse to Yue Feng.
“Then I’ll be leaving first, sir!”
“Okay, slow down on the road!”
……
After borrowing the carriage, Yue Feng sat down in the ‘main cab’ on one side of the carriage. He gave two familiar shouts, and the chestnut horse pulled the carriage straight to the alley where Yue Feng lived.
When they arrived at the door of the house, Yue Feng called out a few times through Xiao Tao’s back window, and soon Xiao Tao came over.
The two of them worked together and easily lifted the tightly tied elk calf onto the carriage.
“Brother, are you driving the carriage into the city today?” Xiao Tao was eager to try when he saw the chestnut horse and the carriage.
“Hmm? What do you want to do?”
“Take me with you! I have nothing to do at home!”
“It’s late. I promised Xiaona to take her into the city. How about we squeeze in together?”
Hearing that Yue Feng had made an appointment with his girlfriend, Xiao Tao immediately curled his lips and said, “Forget it, you guys go ahead, I won’t be a lamp!
By the way, the situation in the city is not peaceful, grab my sister-in-law, and bring your gun!”
Hearing Xiao Tao’s reminder, Yue Feng’s heart moved. This is indeed necessary.
The roads were indeed not safe in those days. If you were alone, it would be fine. But if you took a girl with you on a bus into the city, you would easily get into trouble with some vagrants.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go get the stuff!”
Yue Feng responded, turned around and went back into the house, took down the 56mm rifle hanging on the wall, and stuffed two more bullets into his pocket.
He put the gun in the canvas gun bag and carried it out of the house.
After checking that the sika deer was tied up, Yue Feng pulled the reins and shouted. Under Yue Feng’s guidance, the chestnut horse clattered towards Wang Jianguo’s country.
After shouting twice at the door, Wang Xiaona soon came out of the house fully armed.
He wore a Lei Feng hat, a large flowered jacket, some slightly slim-fitting cotton pants, a scarf on his face, and a pair of handcuffs around his neck. He was armed to the teeth. “Lock the door, get in the car, and let’s go!”
“Yeah! This is the elk cub! It’s so big! How come its eyes are damaged?” Wang Xiaona came to the other side and quickly sat down.
“This fawn tried to run away, but was blinded by our big black eagle!”
“Ah? That eagle is really amazing! What’s in the back of the bag?”
Wang Xiaona was very curious. She looked around and her attention fell on the gun bag covered with sackcloth in the truck bed.
“Don’t mess around with that one, 56 and a half!”
“Oh! All right! Let’s go!”
“Let’s go! Hold on tight!”
Yue Feng called out and quickly drove the carriage out of the village and into the city along the village road.
In this era, there are few pedestrians and vehicles on the road, so driving is not difficult. Yue Feng and Xiao Na sat on one side, talking slowly while driving, and the time was not difficult to bear.
The chestnut horse’s speed was slightly slower than Yue Feng’s own bicycle ride into the city. After about forty minutes, the carriage entered the city.
Yue Feng had to go to the city to deliver goods every now and then, so he was already used to seeing all kinds of signs and shops on the street. But Wang Xiaona rarely went to the city, and even less often went to the city alone with her boyfriend. So after entering the city, she looked around everywhere, and asked Yue Feng what this was and what that was.
While driving the car, Yue Feng explained relevant things to his wife, and unknowingly arrived at the back door of the second canteen.
“We’re here! You stay in the car and watch over the things, don’t run around! I’ll go in and call for help!”
“it is good!”
Soon, Yue Feng pushed open the back door and walked in. After finding Master Niu, he whispered a few words in his ear.
When Master Niu heard that Yue Feng was driving a cart with a live elk calf, he was immediately excited.
What kind of food is the freshest? Of course, it’s alive!
This has been mentioned more than once before.
So what kind of food is the most precious?
Scarcity makes things valuable. This living elk calf is a rare thing in Master Niu’s eyes.
Deer meat as an ingredient naturally has certain attribute buffs, so since the time of ancient emperors, there has been a certain pursuit of eating deer meat and drinking deer blood.
However, it is possible that hunters can go into the mountains and kill this thing and bring it back. You can also occasionally see it in the ghost market.
But a living elk, especially an elk foal less than one year old, is rare.
Because of their young age, their meat will naturally be more tender and taste better. The living deer and precious deer blood can also be preserved. This thing is definitely a treasure in the current food reserve warehouse of the Second Canteen.
“Where is the deer? Take me to see it!” Master Niu asked excitedly.
“It’s at the back door. I came here in a horse-drawn cart. The deer is tied up and is being pulled on the cart!”
“go!”
Master Niu didn’t waste any time and walked towards the back door side by side with Yue Feng.
After going out the back door, Niu Fusheng met Wang Xiaona for the first time.
“This is?”
“Xiao Na, call Brother Niu! This is my girlfriend, Wang Xiao Na. She heard that I was driving into the city to deliver goods, so she followed me to play!”
“Hello, Brother Niu!” Wang Xiaona greeted him sweetly.
“This girl is so pretty! Are you cold? Come inside and warm up!”
“No need to bother, we’ll unload the goods and then head back! Let’s take a look at the deer, it’s a rare thing, you have to pay a high price!”
“Don’t worry, we’ve known each other for a long time. Let me take a look first!”
After a few brief greetings, Niu Fusheng quickly entered combat mode.
I saw him looking at the deer’s teeth, then examining its body from left to right, etc., nodding repeatedly as he looked.
“It’s definitely a fawn that was born this spring! It’s just blind, which is a pity! Our Second Canteen wants this fawn!”
“Then, the price…”
Deer meat is more expensive than pork, and the price of this kind of live deer is slightly higher than ordinary venison. At that time, it was considered a real delicacy.
“The market price of ordinary venison is 1.2 yuan per pound. For your live deer, I will charge you 2 yuan per pound for the gross weight. Brother Yue Feng, do you think this is okay?”
The quote given by Master Niu was as generous as ever. Yue Feng nodded and agreed without hesitation.
“Deal! Give me a hand, I’ll help you carry it in?”
“No need, you wait here, I’ll call some people over!” Master Niu went back in a hurry and quickly called a few canteen workers over.
It weighs less than 200 pounds, and it’s easy for two people to lift it with a bar.
I entered through the back door and weighed myself. It was 178.6 pounds. The gross weight was two yuan per pound, so totaled 357.2 yuan.
“Let’s cut off the difference. Just give me 350. This is the meat from another big bull elk. I brought it for you. Show it to your sister-in-law later!”
After Yue Feng finished his work, he put another piece of venison weighing about seven or eight pounds in a snakeskin bag at Niu Fusheng’s feet.
“Okay! Just do as you say! Follow me to get the money!”
After a while, Yue Feng came out with a thick stack of unity documents.
“Alright, let’s go. I’ve made some money now. I’ll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative for a stroll! I came here in a hurry today, so it’s just right to buy some more supplies to take home!”
“Is that it? How much did this elk calf sell for?” Wang Xiaona watched Yue Feng complete the transaction from beginning to end and felt it was a little unreal.
Is it so easy to make money in the city? It only took about ten minutes to make all the money.
“This trip was good. I sold the elk calf for three hundred and fifty yuan!” Yue Feng said calmly.
“How much did you say? Three hundred and fifty yuan? So much?” Wang Xiaona was stunned when she heard the number.
She had heard from her parents that Yue Feng made a lot of money selling game in the city, but wasn’t this too much money? More than 300 yuan per trip.
“This is just the beginning. Usually they come to deliver game meat every other day, and they sell it for a hundred or eighty bucks every time! Be obedient and follow me, and you will have a good life in the future! Sit tight, the car is leaving!”
Yue Feng touched Wang Xiaona’s confused little head, then shouted a command, and the chestnut horse started again.
The carriage crossed two streets and soon arrived at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Yue Feng jumped off the carriage, went into the house and said hello. Soon Li Li walked around inside and opened the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative. Yue Feng led the horse and parked the carriage temporarily in the yard.
When ordinary people come to buy things, the salesperson is indifferent. But when Yue Feng brings his wife to buy things, the salesperson even provides parking service in the courtyard.
This operation instantly raised the level of style.
“This is Li Li, you can call her Sister Li! Sister Li, this is my girlfriend Wang Xiaona!” Yue Feng quickly made a formal introduction.
“Oh, Xiaofeng, your girlfriend is so beautiful!”
“Hehehe, that’s right! Who made your brother so outstanding? Come on, follow Sister Li into the house. Master Yue will pay for all the consumption today. As long as it doesn’t require a ticket, we can buy whatever we like!”
Yue Feng casually took Wang Xiaona’s hand and walked directly into the main hall from the back door of the supply and marketing cooperative.
