hunting in 1986

Chapter 31 31 Selling Ginseng
City State Store.

A long and large counter in the middle divides the store into two parts. Inside the counter is the area for the staff to move around. Wang Yuan, the old man, Liu Hui and others are standing outside the counter.

The staff carefully opened the ginseng buns, saw the ginseng and said with a smile: "Is it four leaves? It's really good. Wait a moment, I'll get the balance."

"Okay okay."

The old man rubbed his hands excitedly, his back slightly hunched.

The staff quickly brought the balance and found that it was 1.8 taels.

"1200 yuan, sell it?"

"Hi~"

The old man's face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he said excitedly: "Sell! Sell!!"

Standing next to the old man, Wang Yuan, Liu Hui, Wu Qian, Xu Yang, Zhou Xu and others were also very surprised, especially Liu Hui, who gasped excitedly: "1200 yuan! Is it so expensive!?"

Now the biggest ticket is the 10 yuan Datuan. The staff issued the ticket and handed 120 Datuan to the old man.

The staff was also very envious, and said sourly: "I have counted the money clearly, and I will not be responsible for leaving the cabinet."

The old man's face was smiling like a trumpet flower, clattering~ he ordered it very carefully, after he ordered it once, he turned it over and continued to order it again.

After confirming that it was correct, he greeted Wang Yuan and others to leave.

The crowd didn't stay in the city, they rode their bicycles straight to the house, the boss didn't say anything about the money, and the others didn't know how to speak so they didn't speak.

The veteran seemed to be afraid of being robbed, so he didn't rest at noon, so even though Wang Yuan and the others had brought meals, they had no time to eat at all.

Wu Qian cried out that he was tired, and while pedaling his bicycle, he said: "Old man, let's take a rest under the shade of a tree. The day is too big. Let's take a rest and have a meal before we go on our way?"

The old man pressed his head and teeth and just rode. After Wu Qian asked again, he said with a dark face:
"Have you ever heard of outwitting the birthday guide? How come there is no birthday guide? The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and there are no villages or shops behind. They are probably hiding bandits! Hurry up, I will share money with you when you get home, and then rest A day or two is fine."

Wu Qian muttered, "Where are there bandits?" but didn't say anything more.

After a long time, everyone finally rushed back to Wangjiawa.

A four-leaf plant was sold for 1200 yuan, which was far beyond the old man's expectation. He also dug up a four-leaf plant that was lighter than the current one the year before last, but it was sold to the supply and marketing cooperative in the village. It sold for more than 300 yuan.

Thinking about it now, I feel so regretful that I want to bang my head against the wall.

squeak~
Everyone parked their bicycles at the entrance of the village, and after thinking about it all the way, they finally decided how much money they would give to Wang Yuan, Wu Qian and others.

On the one hand is life, on the other hand is morality.

If he prefers to live, then he can be willing to keep more money for himself.If it is more moral, then it would be better to divide it equally.

And finally-

"For the others, let's pay 40 yuan per person. Don't think it's too little. I'm an old hand and I should get a little more."

The old man's face was flushed, and he counted the money with his head slightly lowered, not daring to look into the eyes of Wang Yuan and others.

"I will give him Wang Shuai's share later...Liu Hui is different. He discovered ginseng, so he can get more. Give him 140 yuan."

After distributing part of the money to everyone, the old man rode his bicycle and left directly, as if he wanted to quickly escape from this uncomfortable place.

Liu Hui was the happiest when he got 140 yuan, Wang Yuan didn't care, he still had two big ginseng plants in his space, and he was very high-spirited, never counting on the money he got.

Wu Qian, Liu Hui and others were slightly dissatisfied.

"I thought I could get 100 yuan, but it took me a long time to get 40 yuan."

"Okay, okay, let's go."

People leave.

Wang Yuan soon got home and gave 40 yuan to Wang's mother. Wang's mother was very happy, and after asking about the situation on the road, she went to warm up the meal for him.

The little girl didn't play with cats any more, she walked through Wang Yuan's pockets with her short legs, she thought she could still eat fried cakes, but in the end there was nothing, she pouted in disappointment.

"You little girl, who are you showing your sad face to? Hurry up and bring me a towel, and I'll wash my face."

"Oh."

After washing his face, Wang Yuan sat at the table and devoured his lunch. Not long after, his cousins ​​Wang Meng and Wang Hu came to play with him. They sat by the kang watching him eat and listening to him talk about his experiences in the mountains.

the other side.

Uncle Man rode his bicycle home and found that his son and daughter-in-law were also at home, but he didn't care and just took out all the money.

"820 yuan, so much?"

Grandma Man counted the money and was also very surprised. She knew the weight of the ginseng tree at home and had an estimate of the price in her heart.

"Well, the purchase price in the city is much higher." Uncle Man drank half a scoop of cold water and poured the root of the water into the yard: "I have to give 40 yuan to Wang Shuai's house. There is no one in his house now." , and so on..."

"There is someone in her family. I just saw Wang Shuai's mother doing laundry."

"Huh? Isn't Wang Shuai's grandpa seriously ill?" Uncle Man suddenly felt that something was wrong, frowned slightly, took out four cards of Great Unity from his wife, and walked towards Wang Shuai's house.

Seeing Uncle Man leave the house.

The daughter-in-law nudged her husband Liu Dazhu with her elbow. The latter drooped his head and said nothing, and the daughter-in-law pinched his waist angrily.

Feeling unable to escape, Liu Dazhu could only raise his head and say, "That...Mom, Xiaohan and the others have to pay tuition and miscellaneous fees..."

"Hey~"

Grandma Man sighed, looked at her son and said, "If you play with less money, you will have everything."

"Ahem, I won't play anymore, I won't play in the future."

After leaving 20 yuan, Grandma Man still gave the remaining several hundred yuan to her son and daughter-in-law.

The two sat for a while, and then went home happily. Looking at the back of their son and daughter-in-law leaving, Grandma Man sighed again.

In fact, Liu Dazhu is a "professional hunter", the one registered on the register.

Ordinary people hunt for fun. Most of them hunt within ten miles of the village, and almost never spend the night in the mountains. Liu Dazhu and the others are different, especially in winter, they often go into old forests. It is very hard and dangerous, but the income is very, very high.

It is precisely because of his high income that his family can afford a TV, but——Liu Dazhu liked to play cards when he was not in the mountains.

……

Uncle Man came to Wang Shuai's house and saw Wang Shuai's mother drying clothes. He asked and found out that Wang Shuai and his son had entered the mountain.

"Wang Shuai said that his grandfather was seriously ill, why did he rush into the mountain again? What are you going to do in the mountain? Uncle Man frowned.

"They... went hunting." Wang Shuai's mother felt that she had said the wrong thing. She knew that Wang Shuai and his son went into the mountains to dig ginseng, but she definitely couldn't tell the truth.

Uncle Man knew that he was cheated by Wang Shuai, and he was very angry after biting his molars.

But he couldn't understand why Wang Shuai lied to him, and he didn't make things difficult for Wang Shuai's mother, leaving 40 yuan and left directly.

The next day.

Using the excuse of going to the city to sell fish, Wang Yuan rode his bicycle to the city again. He was going to the state-run store to ask how much his ginseng was worth.
