Rebirth in 80, starting with hunting in the Greater Khingan Mountains
Chapter 12 Wolf on Shoulder
After the reform and opening up, it was said that some people should be allowed to get rich first.
Who would do business as a decent person? It's shameful enough.
On the contrary, those vagrants, second-rate people, lazy people, and even released prisoners who have no formal jobs and cannot find proper jobs but still need to eat and drink, what should they do? They have to swallow their pride and work.
As a result, this group of people took advantage of the dividends of the times and actually succeeded.
The theory that studying is useless was also formed at this time. A big boss who couldn't read a single word, and whose secretary and errand boy were college students, gave people the illusion that studying was really worthless.
Zhang Daling is a second-rate person. There is nothing he can do. There are many children in the family, and his parents are young and strong and have not retired yet, so they are definitely not able to take over the business. He is not good at studying and cannot pass the entrance examination to technical secondary school, so he can only stay at home unemployed.
The so-called unemployed young people who have no jobs are just second-rate people and lazy people who can't even get a wife.
There was no one at Zhang Daling's house, and he didn't have much to eat. He had some pickled vegetables, a handful of raw peanuts, and a pound of loose wine.
Zhang Daling was obviously older than Jiang He, but he kept calling him "Brother". After a glass of wine, he became more talkative. "Brother Jiang, your hides, bear paws, and bear gall are definitely good stuff, but it's a waste to sell them here."
"What? Do you have a way?"
Zhang Daling said: "What can I do? I just have some free time, and I like to know new things.
The leather tube was brought to Manchuria, and the Russians were very proud of it.
No one here can afford to eat bear paws, nor do we know how to eat them!"
Jiang He nodded and said, "That's right, bear paw is good, but it depends on how you cook it."
If you put it directly into the pot and simmer it, it will be fishy and smelly, and it will make you want to vomit. How can you still want to eat it?
It must be made by boiling soup made from chicken and duck bones, and then stewing it with this soup.
This kind of soup is delicious even if you cook a wooden stick, let alone bear paw.
So what you are eating is not bear paw, but the freshness that comes from scarcity.
Zhang Daling said, "So, bear paws and bear gallbladders have to be sent to the capital. They are things that only the rich and powerful can afford, and they are willing to pay for them."
Zhang Daling's idea really made Jiang He's heart beat fast.
But it’s so hard to go out these days.
The key point is that it takes at least ten days to half a month to go through this circle, and if you add in finding sales channels and so on, it will take nearly a month.
Not to mention whether it would delay my trip to the mountains, I was also afraid that my wife, whom I had finally managed to get warm, would fly away again, and I would not even be able to cry in unison.
Zhang Daling said excitedly, "Brother Jiang, if you trust me, just give me these things. I'll go out for a run and you can just let me earn some hard-earned money for the journey."
"Okay!" Jiang He agreed immediately.
His straightforwardness made Zhang Daling stunned. He said awkwardly, "Brother Jiang, I, I just said it casually. Do you really trust me so much?"
Jiang He smiled and said, "First, I trust you!"
"Oh, thank you, Brother Jiang."
"Secondly, your family is still here. If you dare to take my things and run away, I will kill your entire family!"
Jiang He said the words of killing the whole family with a smile, as if it was a joke, but it made Zhang Daling's tail cold. This guy would definitely do it.
Zhang Daling thought about it, stood up, took out a screwdriver, unscrewed the nail on the lock of an old camphorwood box at the end of the kang, opened the box, reached in and took out a handkerchief bag.
When the handkerchief was opened, there was a thick stack of ten-yuan, five-yuan, two-yuan and one-yuan notes inside, about five hundred yuan, and a lot of food coupons, cloth coupons and so on.
Zhang Daling counted out two hundred and handed it to Jiang He: "Brother, this is the deposit. I'll use the rest as travel expenses. Give me ten days or half a month, and I promise to earn the money back. How about it?"
"Alright, three hundred for the bear gall, one hundred and fifty for the four palms, and three hundred for the leather tube, that's seven hundred and fifty in total. You still owe me five hundred and fifty. If you're capable, the rest is yours!"
Zhang Daling's eyes almost turned green. He knew that he could definitely make a lot of money. He couldn't help but call out "Brother Jiang".
Jiang He is a very generous person, but he knows that he cannot keep all the benefits to himself.
In my previous life, I had many little brothers around me. They followed me around and ran errands for me. All they wanted was to eat, drink, have sex and make some money.
There's no benefit to be gained, so why would anyone want to hang out with you?
Zhang Daling stopped drinking, packed his things into a big backpack, put it on his back, and went to buy a train ticket.
Jiang He took the 200 yuan deposit and went to the supply and marketing cooperative again, but this time he didn't meet the old woman.
I bought some candies for my younger brothers and sisters, new clothes for my parents, and of course a flowery cotton-padded jacket and some cold cream for Miao Xiaoyu.
Of course, I also have to buy myself a few more cigarettes. Most people really can't handle smoking dry tobacco.
In 1980, it was still the era of coupons, but it depended on where you were.
The larger the city, the stricter the management. Many times, if you have money but no tickets, you can't spend it. But it's much better after the reform and opening up.
In a mountain village like Daxinganling, tickets are indispensable when you go out. If you are in the local area, it's okay if you have them. If you don't have them, you can just spend a few more.
But these days, everyone has to count the days, so who would be willing to spend a high price?
Jiang He didn't care about this. With a huge sum of 200 yuan in his pocket, he would go shopping. Even the supply and marketing employees who gave him things would turn around and call him a spendthrift in front of him.
Jiang He glanced at the banner that warned people not to insult or beat customers without reason, and decided not to bother with him.
When you are in the world, you have to be careful. If you offend everyone, you will have nowhere to buy things even if you have money. You can't run to other towns or counties just for a few things.
I spent more than 100 yuan out of 200 yuan and got a whole bag. Just for the quantity, money these days is really worth it.
By the time we were dragged to the lumberyard on a sled, the commuter train had already departed.
Jiang He ran a few steps quickly, knocking on the commuter car.
The carriage door opened, and the people inside helped and pulled people and things up together.
Jiang He thanked them repeatedly and opened a big front door to spread out cigarettes. However, half of the people were reluctant to smoke, so they clamped them between their ears and continued to smoke their pipes.
It was already dark when the train arrived at the forest farm. Those who had a long way to go had to hurry on their journey. No one wanted to walk in the forest at night as no one knew what they would encounter.
Jiang He tied his dog-skin hat tightly and ran home with his full harvest.
Halfway through the walk, I had just turned a hill (a high slope) and was about to sled downhill when I heard a wheezing sound behind me, a burst of hot breath on the back of my neck, and a hand on my shoulder.
Who the hell is this? He comes up and puts his arm around my shoulder. Who are you talking to?
Just as Jiang He was about to turn around, he smelled the fishy smell of the other person's breath.
The taste in my mouth is extremely strong.
When Jiang He turned around, he saw a furry claw on his shoulder, and then a long, open mouth and sharp teeth reached towards his throat.
Jiang He's scalp suddenly felt numb. Damn, it's not a human, it's a wolf.
