hunting in 1986

Chapter 13 Chapter 13
Most of the wild rabbits are nocturnal, and they will burrow into holes when they encounter them. They are very alert and very difficult for humans to catch.

If there are many carnivores in the mountains and the wild rabbits live in a bad environment, most of the wild rabbits are very thin and have no fat.And if there are few carnivores in the forest, most of the wild rabbits are fat.

The nearby mountains and forests are close to villages, hunters often come and go, and there are few large carnivores, so the nearby wild rabbits are very fat.

Carrying the fat wild rabbit down the mountain, Wang Yuan hummed along in a good mood.

When he walked into the village with the hunting dog, he saw Wang Shuai, who had a feud with him, walking on the right, and he was still carrying two dead dragons in his hand.

Flying Dragon is "Huawei Zhenji", a kind of walking chicken. It looks fat and the color of its coat is not too gorgeous, but the meat quality is really excellent.

"Hey! Wang Yuan, you caught a rabbit? I caught two flying dragons, are you envious?" Wang Shuai was very happy, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Wang Yuan also laughed for a moment, pondered slightly, and said while walking: "Sell me your flying dragon, and I will give you a high price."

"Huh?" Wang Shuai was stunned: "Really? Do you want to buy a flying dragon?"

"Yeah, 1 yuan/piece, how about it?"

The purchasing power of 1986 yuan in 1 was quite astonishing. It was equivalent to half a day's wages for many people, and it was close to the price of 1 catty of lean meat.

The flying dragon is not big, even counting the fur, blood, bones, and internal organs, it probably weighs less than 1 catties.

Wang Shuai himself is very poor, and his parents are in charge of his family's house, so he was very moved, but he still said:
"1 yuan/piece is too low, this thing is hard to catch, at least 1.5 yuan/piece!"

Wang Yuan was certain that Wang Shuai really didn't know the purchase price of the state-run stores in the city.

In 1986, many rural people almost never went to the city, let alone the city, they didn't even go to the county seat, and at most they went to the countryside.

"1.5 yuan is too high..."

After bargaining again, the final price was set at 1.3 yuan/piece.

"Okay, give me the money, 2.6 yuan for two." Wang Shuai licked his lips, as if he had already started to think about how to spend the money after getting it.

"Well... I owe you first, and I'll give you the money tomorrow." Wang Yuan stretched out his hand to pick up the two flying dragons.

"You...you fucking empty-handed wolf cub? Want to trick me? There's no way." Wang Shuai was anxious, and instantly retracted the two flying dragons.

"Don't swear at the street, you will be beaten if you swear at the street... How can you not trust my character? Forget it, I will go home and ask you for money. You wait here and don't move around."

Wang Yuan quickly ran home with the big wolf dog.

Mama Wang was cleaning shoe soles in the house, Papa Wang was chopping firewood in the courtyard, and the little girl was watching spiders weaving webs in the courtyard.

Wang Yuan ran home and stuffed the rabbit to Papa Wang, and then ran into the house to ask Mama Wang for money. The financial power of the family was still in Mama Wang's hands.

The little girl squatted in the corner and didn't see Wang Yuan. When she turned her head to look for it, she found the wild rabbit in Father Wang's arms, and her eyes lit up instantly.

inside the house.

Wang Yuan told Mother Wang about the matter, and then said:
"In the city, two flying dragons can be sold for 8 yuan, but now you can buy them from Wang Shuai for only 2.6 yuan, and you can earn 5.4 yuan in one hand! You can buy several catties of pork."

"Okay, I'll get you the money right now."

Ms. Wang was in a daze. She also knew that the matter was urgent, so she quickly opened the small wooden door of Kangqin, reached in and touched for a while, and took out a small canned bottle. She counted 2.6 yuan and gave it to Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan took the money and ran out.

"Second brother, why are you going? I'm going too!"

The little girl wanted to chase Wang Yuan, but her legs were too short, so she ran a few steps and went back to see the rabbit.

Pay with one hand and chicken with the other.

Wang Yuan carried two flying dragons home happily. Both of these two flying dragons weighed less than a catty. The largest one probably only weighed 7 taels, and the smallest one weighed only about 6 taels.

But the state-run store collects them on a case-by-case basis, so he doesn't care if it's lighter.

Seeing Wang Yuan go home happily, Wang Shuai was still a little dizzy. He looked at the 2.6 yuan in his hand and murmured, "Why do you feel like you've been tricked?"

back home.

Parents, two younger sisters all surrounded him.

The two dead flying dragons were placed on the ground and looked small. Mother Wang asked, "Is this really so valuable? Xiaoyuan, you can't read it wrong, right? Your grandfather caught it last year, and you still I went to eat."

After saying a word, Mama Wang looked at Papa Wang.

Papa Wang also went to the city before, obviously she was asking Papa Wang for proof.

"Ahem, I didn't pay attention to look at the price list at the time." Father Wang showed a bright expression on his face.

"Of course it's true. I'm going to the city to sell these two flying dragons. The weather is hot, and it may deteriorate after a long time." Wang Yuan said.

Actually...he didn't want to ask his parents to take the money, because if he took the money from his parents, he might have to hand over the money he earned.

But who made him have no money? It is much better to give money to parents than not to make money.

"Okay then, I steamed the buns, bring some buns with me."

Mother Wang found a piece of straw paper, put 3 meat buns and some cooked bear meat on it, then wrapped the straw paper and put them in the bamboo basket, and put the two flying dragons in it.

There are two iron hooks on the side of the bamboo basket, which can be hung on the back seat of the bicycle. Wang Yuan's family does not have a bicycle, so he can only go to his grandfather's house and push his bicycle over.

"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving, you go back to eat quickly."

"Slow down on the road."

Saying goodbye to his parents, Wang Yuan rode his bicycle away.

Leaving the village slowly, the sun was hot and the cicadas were singing, and Wang Yuan's forehead was covered with sweat. After riding for more than an hour, he was tired, thirsty and hungry. down stop.

He drank some water from the creek not far away, then sat in the shade under the tree, took out the rice wrapped by his mother, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

My mother was worried that he would not have enough to eat, so there was a lot of bear meat in the straw paper bag, which weighed about one catty. It was fragrant and spicy, and tasted very good. Every bite of the bun and the bear meat made me feel extremely happy in an instant.

"There's still one bun and a few pieces of bear meat left, put them away first, I don't know if I can make it back at night."

Wang Yuan wrapped the toilet paper and put it back in the cart basket, went to the river to drink a few sips of water, washed his face, and then leaned against the tree to rest.

After resting for about 10 minutes, Wang Yuan continued to set off on his bicycle.

"This age is too hard, such a long distance, riding a bicycle under the sun, forget it, ride quickly, and try to get to the city as soon as possible."

Wang Yuan pedaled quickly, and the bicycle felt as if it was flying instantly. The wind brought by it was quite cool, and it felt a little comfortable.

After a long time, he finally arrived in the city, and went straight to the state-owned store without taking a rest.

Sudden.

Just as he passed an intersection, two groups of people rushed out one after the other. The people in front were running, while the people behind were chasing after with sticks, chains, and watermelon knives.
