Chu Xiangqian could only say that he knew how to play chess.
The level is really not even touching the edge.
After the round, Chu Qianqian looked helplessly at Old Man Chen.
He secretly thought that this old guy is really a dog. He should have won long ago after eating his own carriage, horse and artillery.
But he had to eat his pieces one by one before he would die.
Chu Xiangqian also lost his temper and placed the chess pieces again.
This time he was not in a hurry to kill the enemy, he just focused on defending first.
For a guy whose physical strength is 3.8 times that of ordinary people, his thinking ability is definitely much better than that of Old Man Chen.
Sure enough, Old Man Chen felt extremely uncomfortable in this round.
We are always faced with the situation of having to exchange money with Chu Xiangqian.
Although he won in the end, Old Chen no longer dared to underestimate Chu Xiangqian.
Just as he was planning to play another game, Xie Zhende had already returned with the money and purchase receipts.
Looking at the purchase order, not only the purchase task for 100 bamboo baskets was written, but there were also purchase receipts for 47 pounds of pheasants and hares, and 21 pounds of fish.
With this document in hand, it is official business to wait for the fish and meat to be delivered to the steel rolling mill today.
After receiving the 48 yuan and 30 cents, Chu Xiangqian put it directly into his pocket, smiled and thanked Zhende and said, "Director, I will go back to the mountains at noon.
I heard an old hunter say that he encountered a herd of deer yesterday. If you are lucky, you should be able to get one or two sika deer this week. "
Xie Zhende and Master Chen both looked happy.
But I heard Chu Xiangqian continue to say, "However, the other party wants to keep the deer antlers and deer whip for himself to make wine."
"How can that be done?" Xie Zhende suddenly became anxious, "Go forward, tell the hunter that not only will we bid for the deer antlers separately, but the deer blood, deer whip, and even the deer skin will be given to him at the market price."
Chu Qianqian was overjoyed and asked, pretending to be thinking, "Then give me a price first so I can talk to him. And don't lower the price, lest it be sold to other people who come into the mountain to buy it."
Xie Zhende was immediately blinded. He knew that the wild deer was a treasure, but he really didn't know what the price was.
"Let's go to Tongrentang and ask. I will give you whatever the master there says. This is better than those who go into the mountains to buy and will inevitably lower the price."
Chu Xiangqian had nothing to say now.
The two of them said hello to Master Chen, got on their bicycles and left.
Arriving at the place twenty minutes later, I found out not only the prices of deer antlers and deer penis, but also the prices of wild boar belly, tiger penis, tiger bones, and bear bile.
Probably because there have been state-run breeding farms for sika deer for a long time, the price is not high.
Moreover, deer antlers are also divided into grades and grades, and there are many ways to do it.
According to the old chef, first-class fresh velvet antler costs 200 per pound, and processed velvet antler slices are even more expensive.
The poor velvet antlers cost even 20 yuan per pound and not many people want it.
Deer blood must be from a live deer, and those who are particular will only take the blood between the deer's head and antlers.
If you want to make your own dried deer blood, old Chinese medicine practitioners will not even bother you, let alone teach you how to make it.
After leaving the big drugstore with Xie Zhende, Xie Zhende also knew that Chu Xiangqian was not a fool.
"Go forward, let's forget about the deer antler. If I really need it, I'll buy it from you alone. Don't add deer antler to the factory's procurement, so as not to cause trouble."
Chu Xiangqian nodded with understanding. The price difference of the deer antler was really too big.
If it doesn't work well, some people will say that Xie Zhende is seeking personal gain from it.
It is even clear that what you purchased is a first-class product, but once this thing is used by the leaders of the factory, from now on others will say that you have enriched your own pockets, and you don't even know how to explain it.
"We charge venison at two yuan per pound. For the rest," Xie Zhende thought for a while, "I'll ask the leader if you want it.
However, I can't guarantee this. If the leader doesn't need it, just let those who come into the mountain to buy it take it away. "
After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes in his heart.
Fortunately, it is in a static state in the warehouse, and the velvet antlers will not deteriorate if left there.
There is always a chance to sell it in the future.
On the contrary, when dealing with steel rolling mills, it is better to have clear and clear accounts, just like Xie Zhende's concerns.
And if you think about it carefully, if the leader of the steel rolling mill really needs deer antlers, he will go to a large pharmacy to buy them.
However, Xie Zhende whispered, "Leave me a pair of deer whips and I'll buy them for myself for 50 yuan. How about that?"
The price was higher than what the old master at the pharmacy offered, so Chu Xiangqian had no reason not to agree.
"Okay," Chu Qianqian nodded, "I'll go into the mountains the day after tomorrow. As long as the old hunter gets the sika deer, I'll beg for nothing to get it back for you.
If he didn't get the wild deer, I would pay for the location of the group of wild deer and go into the mountains to hunt them myself. "
Xie Zhende hurriedly patted Chu Qianqian's arm, "Thank you, brother will not let you suffer."
Chu Qianqian was secretly happy in his heart, but he waved his hands, "No, we just follow the rules. Don't make mistakes just for a little money, and the gains outweigh the losses."
We will spend more time together in the future, so we have to take a longer-term view. "
Xie Zhende immediately raised his evaluation of Chu Xiangqian by several levels.
"Okay, we brothers will move around more in the future."
Chu nodded hurriedly and watched Xie Zhende ride his bicycle away.
I just rode my bicycle to the neighborhood committee.
Director Wang, who received 50 kilograms of frozen fresh fish, now truly regarded Chu Qianqian as his nephew.
After giving Chu Xiangqian 15 yuan, he whispered, "My youngest son will get married in the next year. Xiao Chu, please come to my house to help me when you have time."
Chu Qianqian immediately nodded, "Then I must go."
Then he whispered to Director Wang, "Aunt Wang, please don't say that I sent these 50 kilograms of fish, otherwise my section chief and the subdistrict director will hear it. You have to train me."
"Don't worry," Director Wang said with a smile, "Didn't you see that you, Aunt Wang, and I are the only ones receiving you this time? In order to avoid causing trouble for you.
Besides, there are many people fishing on the ice of various rivers in and outside the city every day. Your 50-pound fish is inconspicuous. "
Chu Qianqian nodded with relief.
In fact, I am not afraid that the sub-district director and section chief will know about this. Anyway, as long as the monthly procurement tasks are completed, the sub-district director and section chief can't say anything.
But it would be best if the news could be kept in a small circle of very few people.
——
After leaving the neighborhood committee, I looked at my watch. It was already 4:30.
Chu Xiangqian was about to ride back to the courtyard when he suddenly thought of his appointment with Xue Jianguo yesterday to go fishing together at the Yuhe River at 3 o'clock.
Busy turn around.
When I arrived at Yuhe River, I stood on the embankment and glanced around. I quickly saw Xue Jianguo sitting on a horse fishing.
Chu Qianqian locked his bicycle, quickly walked down the river embankment, arrived in front of Xue Jianguo, and sat down on the ice.
He complained, "Hey, I've been really unlucky these past two days. When I returned to the street yesterday morning, I was forced to go to the mountains by the section chief.
After getting back a silly roe deer this morning, I wanted to go back and have a good sleep.
I didn’t expect that Director Xie, the logistics manager of the steel rolling mill, was born in the year of the Dog. I had just slept for two or three hours today when he came to my house and blocked the door.
He insisted that I help him get some pheasants and hares for emergency use.
I've been busy until now, so I don't have time to come here. "
After saying that, he looked at Xue Jianguo and asked, "Second brother, do you have anything to eat? I've been tired for a day and haven't eaten lunch. I'm really hungry."
Xue Jianguo was originally unhappy because Chu Xiang came late. But after hearing what Chu Xiangqian said, not only was his anger gone, but he also sympathized with him.
He held the fishing rod in his hand, pulled Chu forward and said, "Let's go, let's take you to a small restaurant for a meal."
Chu Xiangqian was secretly happy, Xue Jianguo was easy to fool.
But seeing that he had even thrown away his fishing rod, we knew that he must not have caught half of the fish in half the afternoon.
After thinking for a while, he cried bitterly, "Second brother, let me have a rest. You go and help me get some hot dishes and rice. I'll help you catch two fish and give them to our girl to try. How about that?"
When Xue Jianguo heard this, he couldn't help but think of the two big fish that his old man and Chu Xiangqian brought home when they were fishing together a few days ago.
He nodded hurriedly, "Okay, then you fish here and I'll find you something to eat."
This made Chu Xiangqian feel a little embarrassed.
This man is too honest.
Watching Xue Jianguo run up the river embankment and ride away on his bicycle, Chu Qianqian picked up the fishing rod and hung half a chicken heart on it.
I also put some offal offal left over from processing wild boars, pheasants, and hares into the ice cave to make a nest.
A few minutes later, the fishing rod sank, and Chu Qianqian instantly felt that the fish was not small.
He quickly grabbed the fishing line and pulled the fish up by force.
Because you can often fish in the middle of the river during ice cave fishing, the fishing rod is not long. You can wear gloves and grab the fishing line to forcefully lift the fish.
I saw a carp that was longer than my arm and weighed at least 8 or 9 pounds, jumping on the ice.
Many people around looked at him with envious expressions on their faces.
Chu grabbed the fish forward and threw it on the ice. The carp stopped moving after a while.
He went into the ice cave again and picked up some offal. As soon as he put the fishhook into the water, he saw a middle-aged man walking over.
Squatting next to the ice cave, he asked softly, "Comrade, do you want to change this fish?"
Chu glanced at him forward and saw that his hands were fairly fair, he was wearing old-fashioned cashmere leather boots, and he was wearing myopia glasses with plastic frames.
These days, the production of plastics around the world is extremely low, and the price is naturally very expensive.
I immediately concluded that this guy was not short of money.
However, Chu Xiangqian now not only has transactions in streets, neighborhood committees, and steel rolling mills, but also just made a large deal with Gong Changqing and his group.
I don't look down on sporadic transactions at all, and I don't want to be caught because of a few dollars.
"Sorry, although I caught this fish, I helped my friend catch it."
The middle-aged man shook his head regretfully, "What a pity, I haven't seen such a big carp in many years."
Chu Qianqian curled his lips, thinking secretly in his heart, whether you are a pity or not, what does it have to do with me.
Just as he was thinking about it, the fishing rod in his hand suddenly moved.
Chu Xiangqian subconsciously reached out to grab the fishing line and lifted it up sharply.
A snakehead fish weighing five to six pounds was lifted out and landed on the ice.
The middle-aged man looked at him dumbfounded.
Secretly thinking, is this kid so lucky?
"Little comrade, how about I give you 5 pounds of food stamps in exchange for this snakehead fish?"
Chu Qianqian cursed in his heart: Why is this man so blind?
But he said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, I'll tell you clearly, I am a fish who respects my future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law."
The middle-aged man's expression froze. He didn't expect that this kid would come up with such a reason just to get rid of him.
But after feeling unhappy, I didn’t have the nerve to stay.
I could only sigh and leave.
What Chu Xiangqian didn't know was that when the man got on the river embankment, he happened to meet Xue Jianguo who was buying food.
"Xiao Xue, what are you doing?"
Xue Jianguo saw the person coming clearly and saluted quickly, "Uncle Cathay, why are you here?"
Qian Guotai smiled and waved his hand, "My family lives nearby, and now that I have nothing to do, I naturally wander around."
Only then did Xue Jianguo remember that the family friend in front of him had just returned from abroad for less than half a month and was on vacation.
Pointing to Chu Qianqian on the ice, he said, "My colleagues and I have nothing to do after get off work, so we came here to try our luck. We want to catch a fish or two and go back to replenish our family's health."
Qian Guotai followed Xue Jianguo's fingers and soon knew that Xue Jianguo was talking about the young man he had just met.
I remembered Chu Qianqian saying that the fish he caught were for his father-in-law.
He couldn't help but smile and asked, "Is this guy your sister Lanlan's blind date?"
Xue Jianguo was stunned for a moment, but said without concealing it, "My family and I both have this intention, but you also know something about Lanlan's situation.
So I plan to get along with this slowly and see about it.
Let him and Lan Lan meet again when the opportunity is right.
Even if it doesn't work out then, it won't be embarrassing.
However, I did have a good chat with Xiang Xiang. "
Qian Guotai smiled and nodded. The dissatisfaction that Chu Xiangqian had refused to sell several times before turned into a compliment to Chu Xiangqian because of Xue Jinglan.
"That guy is indeed a good guy. He is cautious and quick-thinking. He is indeed a good guy.
And within ten minutes, he caught a carp weighing 8 or 9 pounds and a snakehead fish weighing 5 or 6 pounds. If Lan Lan gets married to him in the future, at least she won't be short of food. "
Xue Jianguo nodded with great joy, "Qiang Qian is really good at fishing. Last time my grandfather and grandpa went fishing with Qian Qian and caught a total of forty or fifty kilograms of fish."
Qian Guotai was surprised, "It doesn't look like luck, but that he really has the ability."
Xue Jianguo was busy showing off. He praised Chu Xiangqian and told him about killing a bear alone and several wild boars.
Qian Guotai's eyes lit up.
But after a few seconds, he shook his head again, secretly thinking that he might as well forget it.
So as not to affect Xue Jinglan's marriage.
Besides, there are many people who are better than this young man, so there is no need to choose him.
After saying hello to Xue Jianguo, Qian Guotai walked slowly away with his hands behind his back.
Xue Jianguo frowned and looked at Qian Guotai's back for a while, then walked to Chu Qianqian worriedly.
He handed the aluminum lunch box to Chu Qianqian and couldn't help but swallow as he watched him gobble it up.
After Chu Qianqian finished a box of rice and a box of fried cabbage, he asked, "Qianqian, did a man with glasses get close to you just now?"
Chu Qianqian felt nervous, nodded quickly and said, "Second brother, does that person have a problem?"
Xue Jianguo shook his head, "We must be our own people, but what Qian Guotai did is not necessarily a good thing for us."
Upon hearing this, Chu Xiangqian guessed that the person named Qian Guotai just now must have done something extraordinary.
Busy asked again.
