Chapter 426 A Great Writer’s Rabbit Hunting Competition
Li Mingfa played with Niu Laifu for a few days and then got down to business.

What he wants to do is very simple. Now that the shopping mall has not been built, he will buy a few storefronts in a small town and open the store first, just like Erwa.

Then they started moving goods here from their hometown. Erwa and the others made clothing, and Li Mingfa planned to start a leather goods business first.

So within a few days, I came to see Yan Changqing.

In fact, I am also looking for Huang Peishan, because this assistant is here often to accompany the boss lady and have a meal.

Li Mingfa discussed with Yan Changqing and Huang Peishan: "I want to build a brand here and promote our Taoshu Township brand here. I am going to do some advertising in the early stage. I don't know the situation here and I need more help from Mr. Huang." ”

His idea is also simple: "Now in our home, many people only recognize foreign brands. They are obviously produced locally. If you give them a foreign name, your sales will increase dramatically."

"I think as long as they are human beings, they should be the same. They all have a distant fragrance and a near smell, so it would be good to promote our brand here more and print some bilingual instructions later."

"It's not what a great writer wrote. When the cabbage from the capital is shipped to Zhejiang Province, the roots are tied with red ropes and hung upside down in front of the fruit shop. They are respected as 'glue vegetables'; the wild aloe vera in Fujian Province is grown as soon as it arrives in the capital. Please enter the greenhouse and call it 'tequila'..."

Yan Changqing helplessly added to him: "This is what Lu Xun said. Remember it clearly. Don't forget who wrote this article that appeared in textbooks. How can you be a great writer? You have nothing to do and don’t read much?”

It mainly produces small items such as belts, wallets, and handbags, and also makes leather packaging for some products--the latest business is to make the leather on the leather seats for the Yanerhe aircraft manufacturing plant.

Yan Changqing was not modest: "I like to eat rabbits and bring them over next time I catch them. I just happen to be too lazy to go out now."

But after doing it too much, and after all, counterfeiting was not the right way, so even my own people couldn’t stand it anymore, so I started to have a name and build my own brand.

Li Mingfa was very happy to receive the affirmation: "Then let's do it. Just when we were naming our brand, others still said it was old-fashioned and called Peach Blossom Xiang. Anyway, not many foreigners understand Chinese characters, so they may not think the name is old-fashioned. "

When the two of them had reached an agreement, it was time to eat.

Li Mingfa perked up and said, "I'll sign up too."

The Taohuaxiang brand is simply an over-the-top imitation. It is a small leather goods factory that produces world-famous brands every day. The workers can't even pronounce the letters correctly, but they still produce products that are more authentic than the real ones - it is really more durable than the real thing. .

Yan Changqing laughed: "Give the factory a holiday and let all those who are interested participate. I remember that many people still have the skills to do tricks. In retrospect, it can be divided into two projects, one is to hunt rabbits until they die, and the other is to hunt rabbits until they die. It’s for catching people alive.”

This brand relies on the promotion of the website and major bosses, and the sales volume is not bad. It has a group of loyal customers now. It is purely based on the accumulation of quality, and the brand awareness is pretty good.

"Okay, okay!" Huang Peishan said and took a big bite of rabbit meat. "Then we will hold a rabbit meat cooking competition, where everyone can show off their skills and see who can cook the best."

Li Mingfa also remembered and smiled: "There are few rabbits there. I'm not bragging. If I can catch two rabbits, others must be envious."

Next, he and Huang Peishan roughly perfected the plan, mainly because he was new here and didn't know how many media resources Yan Changqing or Huang Peishan could control now.

Huang Peishan's eyes lit up: "Thank you, boss, for the suggestion. I'll do it later."

……

Yan Changqing thought of this and came up with a pretty good idea: "Don't Peishan think there is nothing to do now? You can organize a rabbit hunting competition in the town. This activity is often held locally, but Atal The town is too small and the number of events is limited. Now that the new official has taken office, you can enrich everyone’s entertainment life by hosting it once!”

Li Mingfa thought very well: "We only promote yak leather, which happens to be unavailable here..."

"It's not important." Li Mingfa smiled. "Anyway, that's what it is. Rare things are more valuable! So I plan to advertise our leather goods factory's brand here more, promote it as a famous brand, and sell it as luxury jewelry."

"That's definitely no problem." Li Mingfa said with some emotion. "This is really a good place for hunting. If you go out, you will never come back empty-handed."

It was still Boss Yan himself who cooked a large portion of braised rabbit with the prey that Li Mingfa returned from hunting. Li Mingfa ate it and praised it: "If my cousin's cooking skills were to open a restaurant, everyone in Australia would be famous." I have to fly here to eat it. It’s so delicious. I’ve made it with Lao Niu several times in the past few days, but it’s never tasted like this!”

Huang Peishan nodded in support: "This is easy to do. As long as the early advertising investment is in place and we can promote it on the Internet, it won't be a big problem."

Yan Changqing remembered one thing: "That's not like when you shot two rabbits at home and had to hang them up everywhere to show off to others."

"Then I will participate too!" Yan Changqing said with a smile. "I just want to take Feifei with me to join in the fun!"

"Huh?" Huang Peishan and Li Mingfa were both stunned for a moment. "Are you going too?"

"What's wrong with me going to join in the fun? This is equivalent to an activity at the doorstep. It's nothing if I go there." Yan Changqing said. "However, don't tell anyone about it yet. I won't go until the final cooking competition, so as not to let others know in advance. There will be too many people at the event and it will be difficult to control."

"No problem, no problem!" Huang Peishan agreed immediately.

Li Mingfa's mind was spinning very quickly: "By the way, I can just provide a prize..."

……

In rabbit hunting contests, which are private activities, the prizes do not need to be anything of high value, usually just some commemorative trinkets.

Generally speaking, it is just right to have a medal and a wallet, belt, etc. After all, everyone is here to have fun together.

As for publicity, it's even simpler. A notice is posted in the town and a small notice is posted on the TV station. If anyone nearby who likes hunting wants to come and join in the fun, they can come. It doesn't matter if no one comes. Only the locals will still be busy.

Huang Peishan was quick and resolute in her work. She had plenty of helpers. She recruited a few volunteers in the town and prepared the event in two or three days. The official competition was next.

Li Mingfa sent the prize request to the leather goods factory at home and ignored the rest. He followed Niu Laifu with a gun and a group of people from his hometown to participate in the competition happily.

The day of the competition was a weekend, so there were quite a lot of people. All the idle people in the town were willing to sign up to participate. Anyway, they had nothing to do.

There are more people coming to some nearby farms and ranches than people in the town, because these people usually hunt rabbits to practice their marksmanship. Farms and ranches are not busy every day, so if they have the opportunity to go out and join in the fun, of course they will not. miss.

The key point is that people in nearby farms and ranches hate rabbits. Holding this kind of competition once will at least make them stop worrying about rabbits for a short time.

Coupled with a large number of people from the winery, the final number of participants reached four to five hundred.

Huang Peishan was quite generous. She distributed gifts to the contestants before they even started to warm up.

She held a loudspeaker and began to announce: "Everyone knows the rules of the competition. Now, everyone who comes to participate can get a gift. Please line up to receive it in an orderly manner, and then choose your own place to participate."

As a result, someone exclaimed in the next second: "Oh my god, it's Victory wine and vodka. Why can I only get one portion? I have difficulty choosing..."

"Vodka, choose vodka..." "Wine! I want wine, this is my wife's favorite wine..."

More people are greedy: "How can I get both?"

Huang Peishan is very satisfied with the sensational effect she created from the beginning: "If you become a winner, you can have both."

This is a big surprise for everyone who comes to participate.

Fortunately, everyone was experienced in this kind of activity, and most of them were quite well-behaved. They came over honestly to choose a bottle of wine, and then rushed to the competition venue with it.

The competition venue is within a radius of two hundred miles. You can go anywhere. Anyway, you will set off in the morning and come back in the evening to count the prey.

There are no referees to follow, it all depends on everyone's self-awareness.

As for whether anyone cheats, it doesn't matter, as long as you have fun and be happy.

……

Li Mingfa and Niu Laifu are the cheaters. They have an old man who leads them, Davis.

It was the old hunter who led Yan Changqing and the others when they came over. This old hunter was a professional rabbit hunter, much more professional than Li Mingfa.

Take people running around, get off the car after running for a while and look at the grass and vegetation nearby, and then you can accurately judge whether there are rabbits nearby.

And Niu Laifu was even more shameless. He brought special tools, a smoke generator and a net.

This thing is actually a blower, and then things like chili powder are placed in front, which has a strong pungent smell, and then these things are blown into the rabbit hole through the blower.

It doesn't matter if a cunning rabbit has three burrows. As long as the blower is powerful, there is no rabbit that cannot be blown out.

In fact, Niu Laifu did not do this alone. This method was invented by people in the factory.

Because when we first came here, there were only a few people who could play with guns, and the rest had no choice but to set traps or smoke out the rabbits.

But there are plants everywhere and there are large forests. Fire prevention is very important. It is dangerous to light fires and smoke in the wild, so someone came up with this method.

Now Li Mingfa and Niu Laifu are under the command of Davis. Davis is responsible for finding rabbit holes, and the two of them are responsible for setting up nets and chasing rabbits.

Those who could be netted were caught alive, but Davis who could not be netted was responsible for hunting. This old man had been hunting rabbits all his life. His marksmanship was top-notch, and he could predict the trajectory of rabbits better than the rabbits themselves knew.

This is also the strategy of Li Mingfa and Niu Laifu. They want to win. It is easier to catch live rabbits than dead rabbits. Because old hunters like Davis are not uncommon here. If a few old hunters form a team, they can kill rabbits faster than they can pick them up.

……

On the first day of the competition, Li Mingfa harvested more than a dozen live rabbits, and only a few were dead.

The only ones who could compare with him were the guys in the factory who didn't even carry guns. Some of these people had been here for several years and were more professional than them. There was nothing they could do.

However, on the second day of the competition, Li Mingfa came back in the evening and began to lament: "Our work is in vain. Those guys over there are too shameless. I'm afraid we won't win!"

Niu Laifu didn't do anything: "I should have known we should have recruited a few people who were good at trapping, but forget it, it really didn't work. In the end we killed all the rabbits and joined the dead rabbit group..."

Setting a rabbit trap is also a technical job. Davis can basically shoot a rabbit within 100 meters without missing a target. However, he has been shooting rabbits with a gun from the beginning. This kind of trapping is not professional enough.

As a result, Li Mingfa couldn't sleep after dinner: "No, we still have to find a way. We can't even lose a place. That would be too shameful!"

When it comes to face, the former Brother Niu was very excited at that time: "What do you think we should do?"

"How about something more ruthless and get off the grid?" Li Mingfa suggested.

"Don't you have to run further away? Find a place where no one is around?" Niu Laifu said, then gritted his teeth. "Come on, I won't sleep today, let's go do it now."

This is a big project. To connect the electricity, you need to pull the wire, the farther the better.

Old man Davis is also crazy and follows these two people.

They ran to the edge of Yan Changqing's private property, far away from the competition area. They pulled the wire while cheering themselves up: "It's not against the rules anyway. The competition doesn't stipulate how to catch rabbits, and the competition area also said it. A radius of two hundred miles is fine, we just ran a little further, it doesn’t matter..."

The two got together shamelessly. Davis hates rabbits deeply, and this is private property. It doesn't matter if he pulls the power grid at will. They will be here to watch anyway...

……

With the support of electricity, Li Mingfa and Niu Laifu Davis, the three successfully won the second prize of the dead rabbit group.

The reason why they won the second prize is that they were afraid that the rabbits would still be able to run away after being electrocuted, so the voltage they gave them was a bit high, and the rabbits would be electrocuted to death.

Secondly, there are too many experts, and there is really no way - it is said that the winner of the first prize is a sharpshooter, who doesn't even get out of the car, sits in a pickup truck with a shotgun, and shoots a little gray rabbit without missing anything. .

But at least there is a prize, the prize has not been announced yet, the next step is the cooking competition!

The best seat next to the competition table is a set of Chinese kitchen utensils.

Huang Peishan came on stage again holding a small speaker: "Today we have a guest. He is a real master of cooking, especially good at braised rabbit. In addition, he is also good at music. He is..."

"Yan!"

"Boss Yan is out!"

"Ow..."

Before Huang Peishan could finish speaking, Yan Changqing came over.

Suddenly there was a burst of shouting, giving Mr. Huang no chance to continue to perform.
