With the spiritual spring space, rebirth in the red era
Chapter 7 Prairie Cobbler Battle
Xue Ming came to Liucun Market and was stopped by three armed militiamen, two middle-aged uncles and a young and beautiful girl.
The beautiful girl's name is Qiu Rong. She wears a floral top, linen trousers, green liberation shoes, and carries a 79 official rifle on her back.
She looked at Xue Ming, who was wearing straw sandals and carrying a sack, and couldn't help but smile, "Comrade, let me see your letter of introduction."
Xue Ming immediately introduced himself, "Hello, comrade, I am Xue Ming from the Zhaocun Production Brigade."
Qiu Rong continued to ask, "Which team does Zhao Village belong to? What is your adult's name?"
Xue Ming answered truthfully, "In the 18th Production Team of Zhaocun, my father has passed away and my mother's name is Liu Yuee."
"Liu Yue'e?" the mustached militiaman interjected, "Is your uncle Liu Jianqiang from the Liucun Brigade?"
"Yes, my second uncle's name is Liu Jianguo." Xue Ming's grandmother's family is in the Liucun Production Brigade.
The mustache waved his hand to let them go. They were all from Liu Village and of course they knew Brother Liu Jianqiang.
Xue Ming walked into the market and found that most of the stalls sold various grains and vegetables, including wheat, corn, spinach, potatoes, etc.
Although there is a strict crackdown on speculation, farmers are not prohibited from selling what they grow at home.
Supply and marketing cooperatives will also come to the market to set up stalls to purchase various in-demand commodities such as eggs, hares, and weasels from farmers.
The buyers from the supply and marketing cooperative had arrogance on their faces. An old man selling hares was so embarrassed that they blushed because he couldn't read the scale.
After the old man left, Xue Ming went over to say hello, "Hello, leaders, would you like to recycle the wild wolf?"
Several buyers were amused, "Wild wolves cost 3 cents a pound, are you kid capable of hunting wolves?"
"No, I just want to ask." Xue Ming thinks the price is okay. The gray wolf weighs 100 kilograms and can be sold for 30 yuan, which can buy a lot of grain. A severe drought is coming soon and he must prepare rations for at least three years.
"Do you know how to fight wolves?" A bearded man next to the stall interjected. Next to him stood a man wearing a straw hat.
Xue Ming shook his head and turned around and walked into the woods next to the market, loaded the shotgun with bullets and put the wolf into a sack.
Carrying the sack to find the buyer to sell the wolf, he met the bearded man and the straw hat man from before.The two sides passed each other, and the straw hat man suddenly turned around and stared at Xue Ming's sack, "Little brother, walk slowly."
Xue Ming stopped and turned around. The man in the straw hat took out a pair of cigarettes and said, "My name is Battle. Let's make friends."
Battle is the name of a grassland person, and his facial features are like those of a grassland person. Xue Ming nodded and said hello, "Hello, Mr. Battle."
"He is my brother Ma Wu." Battle pointed to Xue Ming's sack, "I want to buy the wolf in the sack."
Xue Ming was shocked and took two steps back, with a vigilant look on his face, ready to use his mind to enter the space at any time.
"Don't be nervous, I grew up in the grassland and can smell the smell of wolves." Battelle hurriedly explained, "I have no other intention but to buy wolves."
Battelle stayed by the buyer of the supply and marketing cooperative just to grab business. Xue Ming's interest was aroused when he asked about the wolf price just now.
He didn't believe that Xue Ming had the ability to hunt wolves, and thought that Xue Ming was asking the price for the adults in the family, but he didn't expect that there was really a wolf.
Ma Wu was also very excited, "Brother, Double Happiness cigarettes are 4 cents a pack. If you look at our clothes, we can eat your goods."
They were wearing khaki clothes, a material that ordinary people could not afford. Xue Ming thought about it carefully and said, "My wolf is a 100-pound male wolf. I will sell the wolf bones and meat to you for 3 cents per pound. I will not sell the wolf skin." "
Battle waved his hand, "The wolf's skin is the only thing that's valuable. If we only sell wolf meat, I'll give you two cents at most. That's the price of pigs."
"No!" Xue Ming flatly refused, "You are a grassland person and you should know the value of wolf skin and wolf bones."
The male wolf's canine teeth were made into pendants to ward off evil spirits, and the back kneecaps, also called wolf patellas, could attract wealth. Xue Ming did not dare to take the wolf teeth and wolf patella rashly because he did not want to damage the wolf skin.
Ma Wu put his arm around Xue Ming's shoulders, "Brother, go home and have a sip of tea. This is not the place to talk."
Xue Ming relied on his own space and was not afraid of them taking advantage of others. The three of them left the market and walked into a private house in Liu Village.
Battle carefully inspected the gray wolf and quickly smiled with satisfaction, "The goods are good, but it's a pity that I don't have enough money."
"What do you mean?" Xue Ming stared at him with a faint smile, "Brother Battle wants to do business without capital?"
The air suddenly became quiet and then burst into laughter. Ma Wu quickly smoothed things over, "Brother, don't get me wrong, we are serious businessmen."
"Really?" Xue Ming was disdainful. Private acquisition of large wild animals is now prohibited, so these two people are traitors.
"Brother, don't get me wrong. If I don't have enough money, I have the goods. Just wait for me to get you something." After saying this, Battle walked out of the main room and went to the west room.
The west house of Ma Wu's house is adjacent to the alley. Xue Ming doesn't know what good things he wants to get, and he is ready to enter the space to get a gun at any time. If they cause trouble, Xue Ming will not be arrested without hesitation.
A few minutes later, Battle entered the house carrying a wooden box. When he opened the box, he found a roll of light brown cloth.
"This is imported high-end khaki. I think this is what you want." Battelle looked at Xue Ming's patchwork outfit with a smile.
Khaki is a fabric mainly made of cotton, wool, and chemical fiber blends. Nowadays, people call it khaki. The military uniforms of many countries are made of khaki.
Xue Ming really needs it. Each member of the family of five only has one piece of clothing, not even a change of clothes. The beggar's clothes he wears can be used as a mirror.
"Brother, you are so awesome. You can get such in-demand goods." Xue Ming praised Battelle, "Is this smuggled goods from the Soviet Union?"
"Don't worry about where it comes from, just say whether you want it or not." Battle said with a look on his face.
Ma Wu interjected, "Our boss has great hands and eyes. He can help you get whatever you want."
"Really?" Xue Ming stretched out his hand in front of Battle, "Brother, please help me get a smartphone. Money is not an issue."
"Mobile phone?" Battelle took off his straw hat and scratched his head, "Is the mobile phone a native chicken raised at home?"
Xue Ming laughed dumbly, "It's not impossible to exchange cloth for wolves. I want to know how to sell your cloth?"
“1块4毛钱一尺。”巴特尔正襟危坐,“你去供销社买1尺咔叽布需要1尺布票加7毛钱,去黑市买就是1块4毛钱。”
Ma Wu said in a gangster tone, "Brother, don't think it's expensive. This kind of high-end cloth has a price but no market. The supply and marketing cooperative only sells floral cloth and cotton cloth."
Battelle pointed at Xue Ming's clothes and joked, "As the saying goes, people rely on their clothes and gold, so it's time for me to change my clothes."
Xue Ming thought for half a minute and nodded. Now that he couldn't find a cobbler who could peel off wolf skins, he could only accept the offer of money and cloth in exchange for wolf meat.
Battle hung the wolf up, washed his hands, took out a special knife and started peeling off the skin from the toes.
Xue Ming sat nearby and carefully observed his techniques and tried to learn how to do it. If he killed a wolf in the future, he would skin it himself.
Battle laughed and told him to follow his lead. The trick to skinning a wolf is that practice makes perfect. You can’t learn it just by watching. Xue Ming frowned as he watched...
