The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.

Chapter 16 The Mine Manager's Father, Lu Zhengfeng

The door to Mine Manager Lu Baoshan's room opened.

The person who opened the door was an elderly man with thinning white hair, a square face, and bright, piercing eyes, exuding the air of someone in a superior position.

This is Lu Baoshan's father, Lu Zhengfeng.

In his previous life, Zhang Yun had met Lu Zhengfeng and learned that after retiring from his position as a county leader, he came to Jigong Mountain to retire and live with his children and grandchildren, enjoying the joys of family life.

"Sir, I'm sorry to bother you, is the mine manager still not awake?"

Yang Yunshan was clearly very familiar with the mine manager's family. He greeted them naturally and then stepped into the room.

“Baoshan has been working hard these past few days and developed a high fever last night. The fever hasn’t subsided yet, so don’t wake him up.”

"Is there a problem?"

Lu Zhengfeng said calmly, stopping Yang Yunshan.

Upon hearing this, Yang Yunshan immediately put down the foot he had raised.

As the mine manager, Lu Baoshan always led by example, going deep into the mine every day to inspect safety. Now, in June, the temperature has risen, and the mine lacks ventilation, making it unbearably hot and stuffy.

It's normal that Lu Baoshan's health collapsed after working like this for several days in a row.

Facing Lu Zhengfeng's direct gaze, Yang Yunshan replied truthfully, "Grandpa, the amount of meat allocated to the mine by the commune has been too small lately. Our canteen can only cook one pot of meat every three days, and the miners are very unhappy about it."

"I urged several purchasing agents several times, but they were also at a loss."

"Just now, I was walking on the street and I saw dozens of elderly people who had bought frogs. I estimate that there were four or five hundred frogs in total."

"So I tracked it down and found out the expert frog catcher."

“I’ve already figured it out. This young man is a skilled hunter. If we can bring him over and let him go into the mountains to hunt wild animals, we can solve the meat supply problem for our mine.”

Lu Zhengfeng's expression changed slightly upon hearing this.

As a retired county leader, his previous work focused on industrial production, so he was quite familiar with the needs of miners.

Miners do manual labor; if they don't eat meat for a day, they feel weak and have no energy to work.

The Linshui mine employs thousands of workers. If they were to be supplied with meat every day, at least three large pots would need to be prepared. However, the country is currently experiencing a shortage of supplies, especially meat. The meat allocation to the mine is very small, and it now takes three days to prepare one pot of meat, which is far from meeting the requirements.

If there were a skilled hunter who could make a harvest every day when he went into the mountains, it could indeed solve the urgent problem of the Linshui mine.

"Four or five hundred frogs?"

Lu Zhengfeng was a little surprised; the number was indeed astonishing.

After all, this waterfront mine is located in a rural area, and Lu Zhengfeng is quite familiar with the surrounding villages. He knows very well how long it would take for one person to catch four or five hundred frogs.

"Yes, old man, there's no way to lie about this. You'll know I'm telling the truth if you ask around."

Yang Yunshan said firmly.

Lu Zhengfeng nodded. Of course he knew that Yang Yunshan wouldn't lie to him, nor would he dare to.

"Where is that person? Bring him here."

Lu Zhengfeng immediately said.

“Grandpa, look at that man over there, that’s him. There are still a hundred frogs and two rabbits in his bag.”

Yang Yunshan immediately pointed at Zhang Yun's body, looking somewhat pleased.

"Please come over quickly, have a seat in the room, I'd like to talk to him."

Lu Zhengfeng's eyes lit up, and he perked up.

Immediately, Yang Yunshan grabbed Zhang Yun and led him into Lu Zhengfeng's main room.

The main hall is very high, with the first and second floors completely open at the top, estimated to be over seven meters high, making it feel very spacious. Inside, there is a complete set of wooden sofas and chairs, as well as an exquisite tea table with dragon patterns.

"Young man, come here, sit down and let's talk."

Lu Zhengfeng waved his hand, gesturing for Zhang Yun to sit in the chair next to him.

Zhang Yun walked over naturally. With the experience of his previous life, he felt no awkwardness and sat down in the chair next to Lu Zhengfeng with ease.

Upon seeing Zhang Yun's demeanor, Lu Zhengfeng's eyes flashed with admiration, and he held Zhang Yun in high regard.

Generally speaking, young men who come from the fields will feel uneasy when they visit someone else's home, especially when facing a high-ranking person.

Zhang Yun's composure and graceful demeanor were something Lu Zhengfeng greatly admired.

"I am Lu Zhengfeng, you can call me Uncle Lu. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, the mine manager of this Linshui Mine is my son."

"I heard from Yang Yunshan that you have the ability to hunt wild animals. I would like to hear your opinion. If you were to go into the mountains to hunt wild animals, how many kilograms of wild animals could you guarantee to kill each time?"

As he spoke, Lu Zhengfeng kept scrutinizing Zhang Yun, trying to see how Zhang Yun's expression changed.

Zhang Yun remained calm and understood that Lu Zhengfeng wanted to personally verify whether he was lying.

"I'll call you the same way I do, Brother Yang, and I'll also call you Grandpa."

"I dare not say more, but if I go into the mountains, I can guarantee that I can hunt a wild animal weighing 100 pounds each time without any problem."

Zhang Yun replied calmly.

Actually, Zhang Yun definitely underestimated the situation.

With the deadly allure of the spiritual spring, Zhang Yun could quickly lure out wild beasts and then use traps to kill them.

Zhang Yun could kill any wild beast in the surrounding mountains if he wanted to.

Furthermore, the Spirit Spring Space adds one acre of land every day. By using the space to raise wild beasts, Zhang Yun can supply as many kilograms of wild beasts as he wants in the future.

Zhang Yun only says that he will supply 100 jin each time because he doesn't want to make too much of a fuss.

"One hundred jin..."

Lu Zhengfeng pondered.

Hearing this, Yang Yunshan, who was standing to the side, became a little breathless, and his eyes were practically spitting fire as he looked at Zhang Yunshi.

One hundred jin (50 kg) is enough to make three large pots of meat and vegetables every day.

It can fully meet the needs of all the workers in the Linshui mine.

"Young man, if you can really guarantee a supply of 100 catties of meat every day, you will be doing a great favor to the Linshui Mine."

Lu Zhengfeng spoke cheerfully, but his eyes revealed a look of disbelief.

After all, even the best hunters can't guarantee that they'll hunt wild animals just by going into the mountains.

Except for the Dongting Lake area in the north, which is a plain, the rest of Hunan Province is hilly and mountainous. In particular, the southern part of Hunan, where Qushui Town is located, is full of winding mountain ranges covered with primeval forests, making it very difficult to hunt wild animals in the mountains.

Yes, before the 80s, Hunan Province was covered with virgin forests. It wasn't until the 90s, with the massive construction projects across the country, that the demand for timber was huge, leading to rampant deforestation and the disappearance of large areas of forest.

"Old man, could you supply 100 catties of meat every day? You can see it for yourself later. There's no point in me saying anything more."

"The main problem now is that I am a member of the production team and cannot go into the mountains to hunt animals for long periods of time."

Zhang Yun said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengfeng breathed a sigh of relief and calmly said, "This problem is easy to solve."
