Chapter 172. Cooking and Fur Traders(1/2)
Boss Zhao is a decent person, although many times, his respectability is disguised by conditions.
Even though his marksmanship is poor, he can also kill his prey with a full automatic.
As for other aspects, it would be easier to handle.
Because, he has money.
But there is one thing, as long as it spreads, Boss Zhao will never have anything to do with dignity.
And that incident seems to have become Boss Zhao's nightmare.
As the saying goes: care leads to chaos.
Since returning from Yong'an Village, Zhao Weipeng has had nightmares for several nights, shouting a sentence repeatedly every time. How could this not worry Liang Xuemei as the person beside him?
But when Liang Xuemei asked, Zhao Weipeng interrupted. The more Zhao Weipeng interrupted, the more worried Liang Xuemei became.
Today there happened to be a visitor from Yong'an, so Liang Xuemei couldn't help but ask.
When she asked, Zhao Weipeng's expression changed instantly. When Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu, and Jie Chen all raised their heads, they all looked at Liang Xuemei blankly, and almost said in unison: "It's nothing!"
Who dares to say that?
There are so many people in the Zhao family every day, but no one dares to mention it. Even Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang, these siblings are so slanderous, they don't dare to mention Er Zhao's cattle slaughter.
Liang Xuemei blinked twice. The three boys said it was fine, but they seemed to have rehearsed. It was strange that nothing happened.
"Okay, okay." Zhao Weipeng saw that Liang Xuemei was still asking, so he waved his fat hand and said, "Let the child sleep quickly."
Hearing what Zhao Weipeng said, Liang Xuemei smiled at Zhao Jun and the others, then said a few words about having a good rest, and then left the room with Zhao Weipeng.
After sending the couple away, Jie Chen got on the kang and crossed his legs. He lowered his voice and said to Zhao Jun and Li Baoyu: "In the future, when we go up the mountain to fight siege, we must be more careful."
"Yeah!" Li Baoyu nodded in agreement and echoed: "One mistake will lead to eternal hatred!"
Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and waved his hand to invite the two of them to sleep.
They slept well that night, and the three brothers didn't get up until almost six o'clock.
When Zhao Jun and the others packed up their bedding and came out of the room, Zhao Weipeng was chattering in Liang Xuemei's ears.
"Today's food must be hard!" Zhao Weipeng criticized Liang Xuemei and said, "Look at you cooking those two dishes yesterday."
Liang Xuemei, who was rolling out and cutting the dough and preparing to make wontons, heard this and looked up at Zhao Weipeng in surprise and said, "There were not enough dishes on the table yesterday?"
"When I was at Zhao Jun's house, every meal was so sumptuous." Zhao Weipeng said so. Liang Xuemei took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I will cook twenty dishes for you today."
"You can't be fooled." Zhao Weipeng said again: "The shrimp crawlers or something, choke on the pot and pull it out. For the prawns, wouldn't it be nice to make braised prawns in oil? And for the crabs, chop them in half from the middle.
It's half done, so put it on the ground and fry it for a while, then..."
"What do you think of me?" Liang Xuemei glared at Zhao Weipeng angrily and said, "You have turned me into a restaurant, right?"
Yesterday, Liang Xuemei prepared a table of seafood, but most of it was steamed. This was not because she didn't care, but because she was alone and couldn't do much of the work.
Zhao Weipeng was stunned by Liang Xuemei. At this time, Mr. Zhao came out of the back room, raised his finger and pointed at Zhao Weipeng, saying: "You know how to instruct people! You asked Xiaomei to do it, why don't you do it? Aren't you a cook?"
"What kind of cook is he?" The old lady of the Zhao family came out immediately after and said, "He raised pigs in the army earlier."
Zhao Weipeng: "..."
"Look at you, you are getting fatter every day!" Mr. Zhao glared at Zhao Weipeng and said: "You cook at noon and at night, make twenty dishes!"
"Make braised prawns." The old lady of the Zhao family said, "My grandson loves it."
Zhao Weipeng knew that he could not defeat these two people, so he curled his lips and started to help Liang Xuemei make wontons.
The wonton fillings are well mixed, including leeks, shrimps, and pork. The wontons are very delicious when cooked.
At the dinner table, the old lady of the Zhao family was busy serving wontons to the three of Zhao Jun, for fear that they would be embarrassed and not full.
Zhao Jun ate three bowls of more than fifty wontons. The old lady didn't stop until she saw that he couldn't eat any more.
After breakfast, Liang Xuemei washed fruits for them. There were apples and pears.
The old man of the Zhao family made tea and poured it for several people one by one in small cups.
"Uncle." Zhao Jun took a sip of tea, and then said to Zhao Weipeng: "Please help me contact the collector."
Zhao Weipeng glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "Okay, I'll go to the village department and make a phone call later."
Speaking of the phone, Zhao Weipeng remembered something and said to Zhao Jun: "I heard them say the other day that there is a new phone that you can hold in your hand and you can make calls anywhere."
"Is that still a phone call?" The old man of the Zhao family answered, and Zhao Weipeng said: "Why not? What do you call me Big Brother?"
"Big brother?" Li Baoyu said with a smile: "This man is domineering!"
"Yes." Zhao Weipeng said: "When I finish celebrating the New Year, I will take a look at my whole body, otherwise it will be too laborious to make a phone call."
"Brother...shall we buy one too?" Li Baoyu said this to Zhao Jun. When he went out in front of outsiders, he tried not to call Zhao Jun brother.
"What should we buy?" Zhao Jun said with a smile: "How many phone calls can we make in a year?"
After talking to Li Baoyu, Zhao Jun curiously asked Zhao Weipeng: "Uncle, can't that thing be cheap?"
"It seems to be tens of thousands." Zhao Weipeng's words made Li Baoyu and Xie Chen gasp in surprise. They thought that the thing was like a TV or a refrigerator, costing only 1,800 yuan at most, but they didn't expect it to cost tens of thousands.
"Huh?" At this time, Zhao Weipeng thought of something again and asked Zhao Jun: "Jun, are you ready to buy a car? They have a man who is in urgent need of money. He just bought his 212 less than half a year ago, so let's go with the new one.
It’s the same, but it’s a lot cheaper.”
"Uncle, I won't buy it yet." Zhao Jun said: "Money is tight these days, and I need money for buying goods at home. Now I have Xiaochen's Great Liberation, and the motorcycle my brother-in-law bought for me. Come out here and go in
Yes, it’s enough for whatever you do.”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What are you doing... If you are tight on money, I will give you a cushion first." Zhao Weipeng said: "If you buy his car, you can save money compared to a new car.
Wanwuliu, how appropriate is this?"
Hearing what Zhao Weipeng said, the man selling the car was really in a hurry for money. Hearing that he could save 15,600 yuan, Li Baoyu and the ministers all winked at Zhao Jun.
"Uncle, I won't buy it yet." Zhao Jun ignored the glances of the two brothers, then declined Zhao Weipeng's kindness, saying: "We are in the forest area, let's drive that car, it's not very practical, just to make face.
We have finished our business and are now starting it. Money is needed everywhere. I think if I have the money to buy a car, I’d better use it wisely.”
Although Zhao Youcai owed everything in one day, he was right in what he said. Although the big jeep was good, it was not practical for Zhao Jun's family.
If you go up the mountain to make a siege, you won't be able to pull out the blind bear, and you won't be able to pull out the cannon eggs.
If you go to the fields to farm, you won't be able to pull out manure, nor will you be able to pull out much grain.
But Zhao Jun knew that Zhao Weipeng had good intentions, and everyone would advance money for him. But in the past, when he was planning to buy a car, he was not doing business. Now, doing business has led to famine, and Zhao Jun felt that he could not afford to buy such a car again.
"Look at this kid." The old lady of the Zhao family pointed at Zhao Jun and said to her old man, "How down-to-earth he is!"
"Yes!" The old man nodded and said, "With this child, my parents will be relieved."
At this moment, there were dogs barking outside the house, both in the front yard and in the backyard.
In the front yard is Zhao Weipeng’s dog, and in the back yard is the red dog given by Liang Zhanshan.
Liang Xuemei went out to welcome him, and after a while she came back and said to Zhao Weipeng: "Hurry, there's a call, saying I'm looking for you."
Zhao Weipeng stood up after hearing this and said to Zhao Jun: "You guys sit down, I will answer the phone, and then I will ask you about the skin collection."
Zhao Jun responded and chatted about household matters with Li Baoyu, Jie Chen and the two old Zhao family members.
About fifteen minutes later, Zhao Weipeng came back from outside. As soon as he entered the room, he asked Zhao Jun: "Do you still have the leopard skin in your hand?"
"No more, uncle." Zhao Jun said: "There are few things there, so it's not easy to clean them up."
"Tsk!" Zhao Weipeng slapped his tongue, sat down on the sofa, and said to Zhao Jun: "Find a way to make two pieces, and someone will charge a high price."
Having said this, Zhao Weipeng raised his hand and gestured, saying: "Sell two and you can exchange for the 212."
When Zhao Jun heard this, he looked at Li Baoyu and Jie Chen, and all three of them laughed. Li Ruhai's theory of "waiting to get rich" is quite popular in the boss market.
"Okay." Zhao Jun responded with a smile: "We are going to unearth another leopard. I will knock it high and low."
"Hey?" After Zhao Jun finished speaking, the old man of the Zhao family asked Zhao Weipeng: "Have you asked anyone about the child?"
"Asked." Zhao Weipeng looked at Zhao Jun and said, "I also asked you about the bear bile."
After hearing what Zhao Weipeng said, Zhao Jun did not interrupt and quietly waited for Zhao Weipeng's next words.
"Let's go to Hebei on Sunday." Zhao Weipeng said: "When we arrive in Anguo next Monday, we will go to the security hall. They collect dried bear bile from there and pay the highest price."
"Uncle." As soon as Zhao Weipeng finished speaking, Zhao Jun said, "We can't stay for that long. We are still waiting for money at home."
"It's not easy to come here, you just stay at home for two days." Zhao Weipeng said: "The boss of the leather collector will go to Beijing on Sunday and will be back on Tuesday. What I want is that we will go there on Monday to sell bear bile.
, I’ll ask him to sell my skins again on Tuesday.”
"Sunday... today is Thursday." Zhao Jun thought about it in his mind and said to Zhao Weipeng: "Uncle, how about we leave today."
With that said, Zhao Jun pointed at Li Baoyu and said, "The three of us are leaving today, and we will arrive tomorrow afternoon and evening. After that, we will go find the boss the day after tomorrow. Isn't he leaving only after tomorrow?"
"This is not possible!" After listening to Zhao Jun's words, Zhao Weipeng waved his fat hand and said: "We are home, we have to stay for two days before leaving! You don't need to worry about the money from Lao Tao. If it doesn't work, I think
Find a way to remit it to him."
"That's not necessary, uncle." When Zhao Jun heard this, he quickly stopped him and said, "I'll just give it to them after the New Year."
"Then why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Zhao Weipeng said to Zhao Jun: "Your brother hasn't come back yet. I said you were coming that day, but he insisted on coming back to see you."
