Chapter 337 Spending Money
The last time I went home, I brought some wild boar meat from home, thawed it and cut it into large pieces weighing at least two or three pounds to stew.

I didn’t keep the knife fish that was hanging on the back window and that I was reluctant to eat and was planning to take home next time. I boiled some cold water, cut it into pieces and fried it on a plate.

Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces, mix with sauerkraut, dried beans, and the previously stewed meat, and it can be considered a dish.

There are six eggs at home, and if you add some chopped green onions, you can make a fried dish.

After a busy day, Chen Hong had used up all the family reserves and prepared four delicious dishes for her brother-in-law Yue Feng.

This is already a very high standard of living for an ordinary coal miner’s family.

Normally, a meal would be just a few slices of meat and stewed cabbage. Whether it was eggs or hairtail, they were things I couldn’t bear to eat.

Yue Feng got the job done for his eldest brother and sister-in-law, so he felt at ease eating at his eldest brother’s house. After his sister-in-law prepared the meal, the three of them ate while whispering about more details.

Anyway, these things would have to be known sooner or later, so Yue Feng just talked about the parts that could be discussed, which made Chen Hong very happy.

My brother-in-law is really capable. He is even connected with the leaders of the Mining Bureau. He even said that he would take me to Zou Zhaoguo to meet him in a few days.

From now on, I will have a strong backer in the company. As long as I work hard and get a promotion opportunity after a few years, I can move up further!

Thinking of these things, Chen Hong sighed more and more that she was right to take money from her brother-in-law last time. Apart from anything else, if the work problem can be fulfilled directly from the grassroots workers to the small leaders, it would be worthwhile not to take the money.

Chen Hong is a “smart person” who is very good at handling interpersonal relationships. The atmosphere of Yue Feng’s dinner at his eldest brother’s house was naturally very comfortable.

If it wasn’t for the fact that the supply and marketing cooperative had closed at this time and there was no wine at home, Chen Hong would definitely arrange to have a drink with her brother-in-law.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yue Feng deliberately asked again in front of his elder brother and his wife: “Brother, have you drunk the medicinal wine I gave you last time? How do you feel?”

Yue Shan was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what his brother meant and nodded: “I drank it. I drank two liang a day as you said. My sleep quality has improved significantly, and I have more energy to work during the day! This thing is not bad, it works!”

“Then you must not forget the precautions I told you! Otherwise, all your efforts will be wasted! A set of three-piece stag suit can only soak six kilograms of wine, and the other three kilograms were given away by me. This stuff is very precious. If you finish drinking this year’s, you will have to wait until next winter to make more!”

“Don’t worry! I’ve already told your sister-in-law, and she supports me, too! Right, Xiaohong?”

Chen Hong knew what Yue Feng meant by this, and nodded: “Sister-in-law and Big Brother will definitely listen to you on this matter. The deer penis and other things are worth a lot of money just by selling them. We can’t waste them!”

Seeing his sister-in-law coming up, Yue Feng nodded and said, “Okay! We still have leopard bones at home, and I’ve soaked them in wine. I’ll bring some back in a few days!”

I also know that living in the city is different from living in the countryside, and everything costs money. But don’t be too frugal. Eat when you need to eat and drink when you need to drink. Maintaining a good body is better than saving any money!
You don’t have to worry too much about your family, I’ll take care of them. Whenever you’re off duty, come home often to visit us, your parents miss you all the time!”

“Okay, if this call-back is successful, then we’ll have more time off! Your sister-in-law and I will definitely go back more often!”

……

After chatting for a while at home, Yue Feng prepared to leave and took out a wad of money from his pocket.

“I have collected enough money for the last engagement, keep it for yourself!

I have to go back. I didn’t tell my parents when I came here. If I go back late, my mom will be worried! “

Yue Feng handed the money to his sister-in-law Chen Hong personally, and then stood up from his seat.

Looking at the brand new ten-yuan Great Unity note, Chen Hong was stunned, and instantly realized a lot of things.

The couple sent Yue Feng to the door, and Yue Feng got on his bicycle and headed home.

After seeing off their brother-in-law, Chen Hong and Yue Shan closed the door and sat in the room looking at each other.

“Dashan, the last time our brothers asked to borrow money, was it because they were in urgent need of money, or was it because they wanted to see our attitude?” Chen Hong looked at the brand new Great Unity on the table with a somewhat nervous expression.

Yue Shan was not sure, but since his brother consciously talked to him behind his sister-in-law’s back and gave him medicinal wine and told him to take care of his body, Yue Shan knew that his brother hoped that he could stand up straight in front of this small family and his father-in-law’s family, and he definitely had no ill intentions.

“What are you thinking about! When has Xiaofeng ever played tricks on his family? Not to mention that he and I are brothers, even Xiaotao, Xiaowen, Xiaowu and the others, all of them are relying on Xiaofeng’s help!

You just like to be suspicious and think about things. If you have the time, why not do something else?
You keep this money for now. I will be transferred to my new post in two days. Xiaofeng said he will take us to the mine leader’s house to get acquainted with him. We can buy some things for him then. Don’t be stingy!”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you. You stay here first, I’ll go wash the dishes!” Chen Hong responded and turned to go into the kitchen at the back.

Seeing this scene, Yue Shan was shocked and immediately sighed. It has been a long time since they got married. Chen Hong rarely does things like cooking and washing dishes at home. The brother came and seemed to have said nothing, but it seemed that he had said something. Even his wife Chen Hong began to reposition her position in the marriage and family relationship.

……

In the next two days, Yue Feng started spending money.

Taking the leaders of the mine and the Mining Bureau to the mountains to hunt is a big deal! Especially since Master Niu said that Director Hou also invited the leaders of the Forestry Bureau to join them, the importance of this to Yue Feng has risen to a new level.

After all, neither the coal mine nor the Mining Bureau has any direct interest connection with Yue Feng. However, it is different with the Forestry Bureau. If he wants to engage in breeding or other things in the future, he may have intersections with this department.

In a society where relationships are important, you need to pave the way when it’s sunny and walk when it’s rainy. If you expand your network of contacts, you won’t be in trouble when you need them. Therefore, Yue Feng attaches great importance to taking people to the mountains to hunt.

So what is Yue Feng’s way of spending money?
In fact, it is very simple. It is to spread the news that money is spent in the village through Xiaowen and others.

Wherever there are wild boars, wherever there are roe deer, wherever there are bears, etc., as long as the information is true, we will charge extra money based on the market price.

Not only did Yue Feng spread the word in the surrounding villages, he also set his sights on the Red Star Forest Farm.

When leading the team up the mountain to hunt for prey, he deliberately took a detour to the Red Star Forest Farm. He mentioned this matter to Captain Guo and asked him to help the forest rangers and forest farm workers keep an eye on the movements of various prey, and also promised him various benefits.

In fact, this move is really a brilliant one.

In terms of familiarity with the mountain, apart from a few hunters from surrounding villages, the people who are most familiar with it are actually the lumberjacks on the forest farm.

There are so many forest areas in the back mountain, lumberjacks, various trappers, and returnees. There are not a small number of people active in the mountain every day. Most ordinary workers don’t know how to hunt, but they are always wandering in the woods. It is only a matter of probability to encounter a group of wild boars or discover a blind bear’s lair. When the base number is large, someone will always discover it.

Just three days after the news was released, the first wave of intelligence feedback came.

Wang Xiaonian sold a piece of news that an extra-large badger’s den was discovered.

A single-jump trap owner from the next village sold Yue Feng a spot where a group of wild boars were active. It was near Duantougou on the other side of Forest Farm No. 32, and there were seven or eight wild boars in the area.

Yue Feng felt that these two pieces of information were average. The wild boar was okay, but taking the leader out to catch badgers was obviously a bit contemptuous.

Just when Yue Feng felt he was almost done and was thinking of some other tricks, Guo Jianfeng called Wang Xiaona’s home in the village office.

We received a message from the lumberjacks on the mountain that a worker had provided a bear’s warehouse on the sunny slope of Tiaoshitang Valley, not far from Forest Farm No. 33.

Yue Feng, who got the news, immediately perked up.

As mentioned earlier, blind bears need to hibernate in the winter and will choose a suitable location to hibernate in a burrow. Depending on the different hibernation locations, the burrows can be divided into two types: sky-high burrows and ground-high burrows.

Tiancangzi is a tree hole warehouse, usually inhabited by black bears, while Dicangzi is mostly inhabited by brown bears, who are usually found in areas with higher altitudes, on the ground or in stone caves.

If you can take those leaders into the mountains and catch a big bear, even the most picky contestant will be satisfied.

After hearing the news, Yue Feng took the forest farm’s small train up the mountain alone early the next morning.

Putting aside the greetings with Guo Jianfeng, with his help, they quickly found the forest worker who provided the information, and took Yue Feng to the location of the warehouse.

You have to plan before you do anything. Yue Feng is not the kind of young man who acts rashly. If he wants to ensure the effectiveness of hunting in the mountains, this kind of advance preparation work is of course necessary.

You can see frost and snow at the entrance of a tree hole in an open warehouse, but this trick may not work in front of an underground warehouse. Many caves are relatively deep, and you can’t find any obvious features of a warehouse from the outside. It would be embarrassing if you bring people here to work for a day and find that the cave is empty.

Yue Feng and the other two came to the location of the warehouse, but as soon as they got there, Yue Feng realized that he had been too cautious.

This underground warehouse turned out to be a very rare warehouse in a rotten tree hole.

What it means is that after a big tree was blown down by the wind, half of the tree’s root stump was still exposed, and the hollow inside of the tree rotted to the roots underground. Then it was discovered by a bear, which expanded and modified it, turning it into a bear warehouse for the winter.

There is indeed no frost or snow at the entrance of the tree hole in this bear’s warehouse, but there is an obvious hole that slopes deep into the ground from one side. If you put your ear next to the tree trunk and listen carefully, you can even hear the blind bear’s sleeping breathing and snoring sounds inside the warehouse.

Now, Yue Feng is relieved!

Bring the leaders along to kill a blind bear. The round trip will take at least half a day. Then, in the evening, we can get some game to entertain the group at home. Then, the matter will be settled, right?
