"Turtles should be cheaper. They are too expensive. My monthly salary is only forty or fifty, and half of the turtles are gone."
A worker at a forest farm started to negotiate with Xu Qingfeng.
"This is really not expensive, brother. You have to know that in this corner of the Northeast, the climate is cold, so turtles grow slowly. This is a purely wild turtle, which usually only grows 2 taels a year."
Xu Qingfeng explained to the worker.
Don't underestimate these three to four kilograms of soft-shelled turtles. It won't take more than ten years to grow to such a big size.
The man nodded, Xu Qingfeng was telling the truth.
He obviously also knows the growth characteristics of soft-shelled turtles.
"You make it sound like there are farmed turtles somewhere."
An elder sister next to me said with a smile.
Also, in the 1970s, breeding was not popular in all walks of life.
There may be some in the south, but turtle farming in the northeast probably doesn't exist.
"You'll pay back the offer. If I give you a bargain, then the brothers and sisters who just bought the turtle will also be at a disadvantage. In this way, if you have food stamps or something, you can use them to offset it." Xu Qingfeng said to the man .
These days, all kinds of tickets are still in circulation.
The workers at the forestry farm have a lot of tickets on hand.
This year's tickets can also be exchanged for money.
When Xu Qingfeng said that he could use food stamps to pay for the money, the man's eyes suddenly lit up: "It's a good relationship. Leave one for me. I'll go back and get it right away."
Xu Qingfeng also treats everyone else equally.
These tickets can be purchased at supply and marketing cooperatives, and they can also be circulated privately on the black market.
There are ticket sellers in every era.
Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qiusheng still underestimated the purchasing power of these forest farm workers.
Unexpectedly, within a long time, all the twelve turtles he brought were sold out.
There was some fish left, so Xu Qingfeng gave two or three kilograms to the managers of the black market, and planned to take the rest back to serve as food for the turtles in space.
There are more than thirty turtles in the small pond in the space. These turtles need to be fed every day. The remaining fish and shrimp can be used as their food.
"Brother, this is so crazy. The forest farm workers are really rich." When he went back, Xu Qiusheng was very excited.
It was his first time doing business. Although he was just doing soy sauce on the side, he still couldn't hide his excitement.
It's like opening the door to a new world.
"Brother, I will take you with me for a few days. After you gradually get familiar with it, you will have to set up a stall by yourself. How about it? Do you have confidence?" Xu Qingfeng asked Xu Qiusheng.
Although Xu Qiusheng was still a little panicked, he still firmly said he was confident.
Just like what my brother said yesterday, no one is born to do business, and it is not difficult.
All he needs to do is practice his courage. When he gets bolder, he will dare to shout and hawk.
...
When they were going back, Xu Qingfeng was driving the donkey cart. The two brothers were talking and laughing, but they didn't feel that the journey was far.
However, when he was about to return to the village, Xu Qingfeng suddenly stopped the car.
"Brother, you're not home yet?" Xu Qiusheng was a little confused.
The next second he saw Xu Qingfeng put his finger to his mouth and let out a hiss.
"Shh, look, what is that?"
Xu Qiusheng looked at the position of Xu Qingfeng's finger and found that it was a silly roe deer.
"Oh my God, a stupid roe deer."
Xu Qiusheng's eyes lit up. Isn't this a walking feast?
The roe deer is one of the more common wild animals in the Changbai Mountain forest area. It is also one of the four "mythical animals" in Northeast China that has been widely circulated on the Internet in later generations.
Silly Roe Deer ranks first. In addition to Silly Roe Deer, there are also cats, donkeys, pullers and rollers.
The last two mythical beasts are not animals, but the mantras of Northeastern people.
The cat and donkey were the donkeys Xu Qingfeng and Xu Qiusheng drove just now.
Donkeys are an important labor force in rural families these days.
Closely related to farmers’ life.
When going out, the donkey pulls the cart, and when at home, the donkey can also pull the mill.
But not everyone can afford a donkey.
Only wealthy families can afford donkeys.
Xu Qingfeng’s family doesn’t have one.
A donkey costs at least four to five hundred yuan, which is equivalent to Xu Qingfeng's father's salary for a year.
If it's a cow, it's even more expensive.
"Brother, do you want to eat dumplings stuffed with roe deer meat?" Xu Qingfeng asked Xu Qiusheng.
"I think about it, of course I do. I think about it all the time." Xu Qiusheng said with a smile.
It’s hard not to salivate when thinking about the deliciousness of roe deer meat.
"Okay, it's up to you and me." Xu Qingfeng took the 98k from the donkey cart.
Today when Xu Qingfeng and the others went to the back mountain to catch turtles, Xu Qingfeng went home and took 98k with him.
Later, by some strange combination of circumstances, he was brought to the forest farm again, but he didn't expect that it would actually come in handy at this moment.
"Brother, are you sure?" Xu Qiusheng had never seen Xu Qingfeng shoot a gun, so he was still a little worried about his younger brother's shooting skills and strength.
"Brother, just wait and eat roe deer meat dumplings." Xu Qingfeng said confidently.
The next second, he pulled the trigger.
Fifty meters away, there was a bloody hole in the roe deer's body.
The power of 98k is much greater than any shotgun.
The shotgun is a shotgun that has great coverage, but is slightly less powerful.
"Hit." Xu Qiusheng clenched his fist, waved heavily, and then ran over to pick up the prey.
My brother's shooting skills are not bad, he hit the target with one shot.
In fact, Xu Qingfeng wanted to say that if he missed the target at such a close distance, his marksmanship would be too blind.
Not to mention that 98k also has a scope.
This scope should only be twice as long and can only see 200-300 meters clearly.
It would be even better if there was a quadruple lens.
But a quadruple lens is basically for military use.
It's hard to find in reality.
Xu Qingfeng drove the donkey cart to his brother's side.
Xu Qiusheng threw the roe deer onto the donkey cart, which made him happy.
Roe deer meat is more fragrant than pork and more expensive.
This roe deer weighs about 40 pounds and can be sold for 50 yuan.
"Let's go home, drink and eat meat." Xu Qingfeng said with a smile.
After a while, the two brothers returned to the village.
The place where they hunted roe deer just now was still very close to the village.
Many villagers heard the gunshots and walked out of their homes. They saw the two brothers Xu Qingfeng and walked towards their donkey cart.
"They're two boys from the Xu family. Where did they get the guns?"
"I heard that the second son of the Xu family caught a few flying dragons and sold them to the factory director's father, making a fortune."
"The second son of the Xu family seems to be different after he was injured. Could it be that he has regained consciousness?"
...
The villagers talked a lot.
When they saw the roe deer on the donkey cart, the crowd suddenly became excited.
"Oh my God, it's a dwarf deer."
"You just shot this stupid roe deer, right? You guys are so lucky."
"It's really good. Is this roe deer meat for sale? If so, I'll buy a few kilograms to eat."
...
Some villagers call it Silly Roe Deer and Dwarf Deer, while others call it Wild Sheep.
Roe deer has many names.
Xu Qingfeng told the villagers that the meat was also for sale, but they had to go back and process it first before selling it.
How could their family eat so much roe deer meat?
The villagers immediately walked towards Xu's house.
