The whole mountain is my hunting ground

Chapter 1464 A bumper harvest (thanks to book friends 202…873 for the additional update 3/5)

Zhao Jun asked Jie Chen to drive and take Wang Qiang down to meet Xing San and Li Baoyu, while he walked down the mountain with his gun and dog.

The jeep went out for more than a mile and saw Xing San, Li Baoyu and the dog sitting on a fallen log by the road smoking.

Seeing the car coming, Li Baoyu waved his hand, but the four dogs didn't even turn their heads.

At this time, Xiaohua's four dogs were all focused on the roe deer meat.

The old mountain dog shot more steadily than Li Baoyu, and knocked down the big green millet with one shot.

The roe deer is not good at attacking or defending. It kneels down when the bullet hits it.

Xing San and Li Baoyu drove the four dogs away and dragged the roe deer to the roadside to gut and skin it.

Although Zhao Jun had not told them to feed the dogs, it was just past nine o'clock, and it was impossible for them to go home now.

So, Li Baoyu did the same as Zhao Jun above, saving the heart, liver, stomach, and kidneys of the roe deer, and only feeding the intestines and lungs of the roe deer to the dogs.

This little bit of food was not enough for the four dogs to fill their teeth, and the four dogs licked their lips and tongues after eating.

When they got there, Xie Chen stopped the car, and Wang Qiang pushed the door and got out of the car first.

"Ouch!" Wang Qiang looked at the roe deer and said in surprise: "This roe deer is not small."

"Yeah." Li Baoyu replied: "More than 80 kilograms of green millet."

"Brother Li, I heard you shoot two shots." Jie Chen got off the car and asked Li Baoyu: "Did you shoot?"

"It was too late when I shot." Li Baoyu made an excuse for himself and said: "The roe deer leaned down and the third master hit it there with one shot."

"Ouch." Wang Qiang heard this and said to Xing San smiled and said, "Okay, brother, let's do it for a while!"

"Haha." The old man has been with this group of people for a long time, and his personality is much more cheerful than before. He smiled and asked Wang Qiang, "Did Zhao kid say anything? What should we do after we are done?"

"Let's go to another place to continue knocking." Wang Qiang smiled and said, "What time is it? Let's continue."

"I think so too." Xing San threw the cigarette butt under his feet. Although there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, the old man habitually stepped on it with his feet.

Li Baoyu and Jie Chen loaded the roe deer with sacks. When Wang Qiang asked Xing San to get on the car, he heard the old man say, "I didn't even sweat after fighting this battle."

Xing San's words made the other three laugh. After getting on the car, Wang Qiang said to Xing San with emotion, "In the past, when I was hunting with my brother-in-law, the dog would run like a calf as soon as it started barking, and I would still complain that I was too slow."

"It's a lot of suffering to run so fast when hunting dogs." Xing San echoed, "Old Xu said that if you hunt dogs for a long time, ten out of ten people will have throat diseases, all because of running."

Li Baoyu walked down with the dog like Zhao Jun.

When Xie Chen got on the car, he heard Wang Qiang say to Xing San: "Brother, look. We only killed four roe deer in this battle. If we do this, we will have to kill 17 or 18 roe deer in a day."

"That's great." Xing San smiled and said, "The key is that it's not tiring."

"Not bad." Wang Qiang said, "Who would still go hunting when there is a car in the future?"

"Uncle, isn't it said that hunting can improve your skills?" Xie Chen replied, and Wang Qiang replied, "What's the point of practicing? You'll be tired like a turtle calf after running a trip, how many can you kill?"

"How about my uncle Zhao, who can kill three roe deer with one shot." Xie Chen said so, and Wang Qiang curled his lips and said, "Let him compete with us tomorrow. We will go hunting in the car and let him go hunting."

"A-choo!" Zhao Youcai, who walked to the door of his house, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose with one hand and opened the door with the other hand, muttering, "Who the hell is talking about me?"

As he spoke, Zhao Youcai entered the house.

As the New Year is coming, the mountain people are coming to sell skins. Zhao Youcai started to receive customers as soon as eight o'clock this morning.

It is now nine-fifteen, and he has sent away two groups of people.

When Zhao Youcai entered the house, he saw Wang Meilan fetching water into the big basin.

Look at the small things in the basin, all of them are stripped naked.

These are all squirrel meat.

The day before yesterday, someone from Xishan Village came to sell skins, and Grandma Zhao asked him to take a message back, saying that she would not only accept squirrel skins, but also squirrel meat.

Since the establishment of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce, thirteen families in Xishan Village have purchased air guns.

They use air guns to shoot squirrels, peel off the squirrel skins and sell them to the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce, and keep the squirrel meat for themselves.

But when they heard that the Zhao family would also accept squirrel meat, the people of Xishan Village, who had never seen much money, stopped eating it themselves.

The three families collected twelve gray skins and twelve white-striped squirrels in the past few days. While they were selling skins at Zhao's house, they also sold squirrel meat.

Wang Meilan gave three yuan for twelve white-striped squirrels, and the three people were so happy that they didn't even drink the tea from the Zhao family. After thanking Grandma Zhao, they hurried to the market slowly. They said it was the New Year, and they were going to buy candies and frozen pears for the children at home.

Squirrels only eat good things in the mountains. Pine nuts, hazelnuts, and pecans are all nutritious.

Sometimes squirrels will catch birds to eat, but that is rare.

Because of the food, squirrel meat is much more delicious than sable meat.

If Zhao Jun were to rank these edible meats in the mountains, squirrels and flying dragons would be the first, and the two would go hand in hand.

Twelve white-striped squirrels cost three yuan, and at most one yuan could buy four. This price made Wang Meilan and the people of Xishantun feel that they had taken advantage.

But Zhao Youcai was not very happy when he saw this scene. He glanced at Wang Meilan and muttered, "All you know is eating!"

Wang Meilan was startled. She subconsciously wanted to say, "Then you don't eat?" But thinking of the defeat this morning, Wang Meilan held back the words on her lips.

Seeing that Wang Meilan didn't say anything, Zhao Youcai snorted and walked to the east room.

"A-choo! A-choo!" Zhao Youcai sneezed twice when he walked to the door.

"It's what you deserve." Wang Meilan muttered in a low voice, "Is it a crime?"

"A crime is a local dialect, which describes the situation where the younger generation is disrespectful to the elders and suffers retribution.

So when Wang Meilan said this, Zhao Youcai turned around and looked at her.

Wang Meilan, who had let out a sigh of relief, hurriedly said to Zhao Youcai: "Why are you sneezing again?"

"I caught a cold." Zhao Youcai said confidently: "What good person can bear going out again and again?"

"Who told you not to wear a hat?" Wang Meilan said: "If you can't do it, just take two pills and get through it quickly. It's New Year's Day, don't catch a cold and infect these people."

Zhao Youcai glanced at Wang Meilan, walked into the east room, took off his cotton jacket and lay down on the kang.

The kang was just heated in the morning, and it was warm. Lying on it warmed up my back, waist and buttocks, which was comfortable.

"Hmm..." Feeling the fatigue on my body being burned away by the kang, Zhao Youcai hummed a few times in comfort.

In the morning, when they saw the vendors coming, Zhao Hong and Zhao Na went to the Li family in the west yard. There were only two people at home, and Zhao Youcai was not afraid of being laughed at.

But at this moment, Wang Meilan came in.

"Hey! Get up, come here." Wang Meilan called out, Zhao Youcai suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head slightly, stared at Wang Meilan with his small eyes and said: "What are you doing? Can't you let me rest for a while?"

"Do you think I am happy to pay attention to you?" Wang Meilan said: "The day after tomorrow is the 23rd, the day after tomorrow we will have a dinner party, who are you going to invite?"

"Invite you!" Zhao Youcai said to Wang Meilan unhappily, and then he was hit by Wang Meilan.

This punch made Zhao Youcai shiver, and he sat up from the kang in an instant, saying, "You spendthrift woman, you've hit me so hard."

Wang Meilan smiled, sat opposite the kang table, raised her hand and pointed at Zhao Youcai, saying, "Who do you invite and who don't, don't we have to arrange the table? Don't we have to have an idea in mind?"

Hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Youcai thought for a while and said, "This year is different from last year."

"What's the matter?" Wang Meilan asked, Zhao Youcai said, "What else? This year, the little... son went to work, you look like Liu Jinyong, and the security chief Yan, we have to call them."

What is a little... son? But at this moment, Wang Meilan's attention was on inviting Liu Jinyong and Yan Shugang, so she didn't bother with Zhao Youcai.

A correct version can be found on the 16-9 book bar!

When the Zhao family had a party last year, Zhao Jun hadn't started working yet, which is different from now.

Yan Shugang is his leader, and Liu Jinyong is his leader and colleague. With the Zhao family's network of relationships, these two people are nothing, but more friends mean more opportunities. Besides, the Zhao family doesn't lack their food, so if you can make friends with them, try to make them as good as possible. .

"Yes, yes." Wang Meilan nodded repeatedly to show her agreement after hearing this.

Zhao Youcai paused for a moment before continuing, "If we invite them, we can't leave Xu Baoshan behind."

"Huh?" Wang Meilan was stunned. She just realized who Xu Baoshan was when she heard Zhao Youcai say, "We can't let people think that our son is a useless person, right? We should use people when we need them, and not when we don't!"

After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan stood up and slapped Zhao Youcai on the shoulder across the kang table, then said with a little excitement, "It's said that our family can't do without you. You are so thoughtful!"

"Heh!" Zhao Youcai smiled proudly and said, "My boss is under the command of Zhang Guoqing, and there are also Guofeng, Dachun, Daming and others. That's about it."

After saying this, Zhao Youcai glanced at Wang Meilan and asked, "Is your boss, your brother, coming?"

"Nonsense!" Wang Meilan stood up and slapped Zhao Youcai again.

Zhao Youcai was just like that. When Wang Meilan played with him, he never raised his hand. And if Wang Meilan didn't control the strength and hurt him, Zhao Youcai would not say anything.

After beating Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan rolled her eyes at him again, and then asked: "Shouldn't we call our in-laws?"

"Nonsense!" Zhao Youcai said the same thing to Wang Meilan while she was still talking, and then Zhao Youcai said: "Last year, we were in a hurry to arrange it, so it was just like that. This time... I'll go to Yongsheng tomorrow, and see my mother-in-law is at home, so I'll tell her."

When inviting guests, you must give the guests enough face. Not only do you have to invite them in advance, but you have to invite them in person. It is definitely not okay to ask someone to send a message.

"What about our in-laws?" Wang Meilan asked about the Ma family again.

"How can it be left behind?" Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at Wang Meilan and said, "We live in the same village. You invited the other one, so how can you not invite this one?"

Although Ma Ling has not married yet, according to the customs of the rural and forest areas here, there may be changes after the two families are engaged. But as long as the ceremony is over, the matter is settled.

Now Ma Ling is the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, but she has not entered the house.

Zhao Youcai and his wife and Ma Dafu and his wife are both relatives, and the two families live in the same village. If they don't invite anyone else, they have to invite the Ma family.

And they have to bring Ma Sheng's family with them, who is Zhao Jun's brother-in-law.

"Oh my god!" After hearing what Zhao Youcai said, Wang Meilan counted on her fingers and said, "How many tables do we need to set up?"

"No matter how many tables we set up, it's enough." Zhao Youcai said, "Two tables in this room, two tables in the outer room, and one table in my son's room, so we can set up five tables..."

At this point, Zhao Youcai got stuck. He and Wang Meilan got together and the couple calculated together. Zhao Youcai said first, "There are four people in the eldest daughter's house, seven people in the old Ma family, four people in Guofeng's family, five people in Daming's family, only the two of Dachun, three people in Zhang Guoqing's family, and how many people in Liu Jinyong's family?"

"And what about the director and Xu Baoshan?" Wang Meilan asked. Zhao Youcai blinked and said, "We'll know when we ask Ruhai tonight. Anyway, there will definitely be enough seats at five tables."

"It's okay as long as we can sit down." Wang Meilan smiled and said, "It's definitely enough to eat , we can't, we'll stew a pig. "

Hearing Wang Meilan's words, Zhao Youcai rolled his eyes at her. Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Son, you're so hesitant to buy a pig. How face-saving is this?"

"What's the face?" Zhao Youcai raised his hand and pointed out the window, saying, "We caught two wild boars, isn't it a treat?"

"Then the head of the field came, and you gave us wild boars?" Wang Meilan frowned and said, "They are so lean and dry, there's nothing to eat."

Zhao Youcai wanted to say something when he heard dogs barking outside. The hunting dogs had all gone up the mountain, and there were still three red dogs at home.

Zhao Youcai stretched his neck to look out the window, and his face instantly became sad.

Wang Meilan knew that business had come when she saw this. She hurried to the west room and handed the task of receiving guests to Zhao Youcai.

...

It was a little after 3:40 in the afternoon, and it was about to get dark when Zhao Youcai sent an old mountain dog out of the yard.

"Alas!" Before Zhao Youcai turned around and went back to the house, he looked at the mountains in the distance and couldn't help but sighed heavily.

"Just bear it for another day!" Zhao Youcai whispered to himself, "It's only tomorrow."

Once the Little New Year begins, it's the New Year.

The day after tomorrow will be the Little New Year, and there shouldn't be anyone coming to sell things.

So, just bear it until tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Zhao Youcai seemed to see hope.

"Woof! Woof!" But the next second, three red dogs jumped out of the doghouse and barked several times in the east.

When the dogs barked, Zhao Youcai's head was buzzing. He walked out of the yard again and looked to the east. When he saw the jeep slowly approaching, Zhao Youcai breathed a sigh of relief.

The jeep stopped in front of Zhao Youcai. Wang Qiang opened the passenger door and got out, asking Zhao Youcai, "Brother-in-law, did you know we were coming back and specially wait outside to pick us up?"

"Get lost!" Zhao Youcai said unhappily, "I just sent off the old Wei leader in Yongfu."

"The one with the yellow leaves on the Xishan hanging kettle?" Xing San asked after getting out of the car, and Zhao Youcai nodded and said, "Yes."

At this time, Xie Chen, who was driving the jeep, got out, called "Uncle Zhao" to Zhao Youcai, and hurried into the house.

"Why is there only one car back?" Zhao Youcai asked, Wang Qiang said: "The dogs and roe deer are behind."

"Ah..." Zhao Youcai paused after hearing what Wang Qiang said, and asked casually: "How many roe deer did you get today?"

"Fifteen." When Wang Qiang said this, Zhao Youcai's eyes widened: "How many?"
