Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 394 Kangxi Grassland
Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin talked kindly for a long time, and then he asked cautiously, "Brother, do you know Kangxi Grassland?"

Chu Qianqian was stunned, thought about it carefully, and quickly recalled where the Kangxi Grassland was from the map of the capital he had seen before.

"The grassland west of the Badaling Great Wall in Yanqing?"

Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin gave Chu Qianqian a thumbs up at the same time, and then glanced at Uncle Sun. Seeing this, Chu Qianqian said with a smile, "Uncle Sun may have more seniority than your parents, so he speaks quickly. "

Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin were stunned, and then thought that Uncle Sun was older than his parents, and it was indeed possible that he joined the army earlier than his fathers.

If this old man had been the squad leader or platoon leader a long time ago, Bao Buqi would have been the squad leader or platoon leader of some big shot.

This kind of thing is really not impossible.

"I heard that the army horses were moved away two or three months ago, but although the pastures are showing signs of drought, they are not completely without grass.

After being empty for so long, there were suddenly more hares, grouse, wild ducks, turtle doves, squirrels, etc. there. "

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian knew what these two boys meant.

It's nothing more than telling myself a place where there are still prey to hunt, thinking that when I get a hare, grouse or something, I can have a good meal.

Moreover, because it used to be a pasture for raising horses, ordinary people would not enter it. So after the military horses were moved away, it suddenly became a natural pasture that was not disturbed by humans.

It's a pity that these boys may be able to play with guns, but their level may only be good at shooting.

Moreover, when hunting with a gun, the rifle is too powerful. If one shot hits a small animal, the meat may be reduced by half.

The effective killing range of a shotgun is only 20 or 30 meters. It is not easy to deal with hares, grouse, wild ducks, turtle doves, and squirrels.

Without the skills of lurking and hunting, the prey ran away before it even got close.

Chu Xiangqian was not short of food now, so he really didn't have much interest in running back and forth for several days, just for some grouse, wild ducks and so on.

"I don't have time. If you really want to hunt, just look for wild boars, deer, etc. That's high profit. Going out for several days just for a few hares is a waste of time."

But within a few seconds, Chu Qianqian suddenly remembered the 20 sweaty horses he had promised to his superiors.

Since the former military horses have been transferred to Kangxi Grassland, is it possible for me to buy it there?

As soon as this thought came out, Chu Xiangqian rejected it in his heart.

How is it possible in this day and age to sell tens of thousands of acres of grassland, 3000 to [-] million square meters of grassland?
Anyway, since I am abroad, I can easily buy a large amount of pasture.

Even on Hong Kong Island, as long as you are willing to spend a lot of money, there are several large islands in Sai Kung that are very suitable for pasture.

And it is very close to Dongpingzhou, or Dongping Island, in the mainland, which is the island where Xue Jianrong will be stationed.

If you dislike Sai Kung, it is a bit far away from Kowloon and the main island.

Then spend some money to transform Tung Lung Island, a few kilometers south of Clear Water Bay and a few kilometers east of Chai Wan, into a pasture.

However, if the environment of the Kangxi Grassland is good, you may be able to suggest that your superiors raise a few sweat horses there and slowly expand them into a small group.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian believed that the superiors knew that a bloody horse could be sold for 7 or even 9 pounds in Hong Kong Island.

It is really possible that for the sake of those 20 sweat horses, the entire Kangxi grassland will be listed as a breeding base for sweat horses.

After all, in terms of price, 9 pounds is equivalent to 167 million Chinese coins.

The sweat and blood of one horse is worth it, one or two thousand Mongolian horses.

Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin immediately became anxious when they saw his refusal.

"Brother, there are more than just hares, grouse, and wild ducks over there. I heard there are also quite a few wild sheep. One weighs more than 100 kilograms. If we get three or five of them, it will be enough for us to eat for a long time."

Chu Xiangqian felt happy. It seemed that these boys were willing to pay something for a bite to eat.

Deliberately pretending to be uninterested, he continued to shake his head, "If I have that time, I might as well go to the Ming Tombs or the depths on the mountainside of Mentougou where I have been, and get some wild boars or something back."

Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin were stunned, secretly thinking that this was not impossible.

Chu Qianqian couldn't help but smile. After all, these guys were just here to eat.

I can get some good things from them by the way, and then secretly go to Kangxi Grassland to have a look, which will not only benefit me, but also keep it secret.

And now there is no snow in the mountains. Going into the mountains in summer is more uncomfortable than in winter.

Mosquitoes, venomous snakes, vegetation that blocks sight and helps hide beasts are all trouble.

That's why Chu Qianqian was stupid and entered the mountain at this time.

But if you go to the grassland, the only big trouble is mosquitoes.

You can go shopping during the day and go directly to Novice Village at night.

It's easy to stay for two or three days.

So before Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin could speak, Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not short of food, so I'll leave the prey in the mountains to the nearby villagers.

Moreover, the last time I went back to the forest farm, even the mice had to avoid people.

There are also far fewer other prey species than before.The difficulty of hunting suddenly increased several times.

It's really not worth the gain. "

Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin were caught blind now. Chu Xiangqian, a well-known and powerful hunter, was unwilling to go into the mountains or the grasslands. So if people like him wanted to eat meat, they would have to find a way on their own.

But if you go into the mountains with a gun, don't tell me that you and others have no experience. If you just bring a gun out to the house and know about it, you will definitely break the legs of yourself and others.

Not to mention, guns are not that easy to get.

On the contrary, Chu Qianqian used a bow and arrow, and brought two hunting dogs and a day or two of rations and water, so he could set off anytime and anywhere.

Li Yuanchao was finally smarter than Zhong Yuemin, thinking that Chu Xiangqian said, "The gain is not worth the loss."

I couldn't help but curse myself secretly, and after thinking for a while, I said, "Brother, I seem to have several boxes of Maotai from the year before last at home. How about we trade wine with you for meat?"

Chu Xiangqian was startled, secretly wondering, could it be the 5-star Moutai?

What many people don’t know is that Moutai was not a state banquet wine at the beginning.

In 49, Shanxi Fenjiu was still used, and Zhuyeqing was used as the backup wine.

The reason is simple. At that time, Moutai was still a small workshop and could not supply it on a large scale.

The distance is too far, and there is no guarantee that a large number of Moutai can reach the capital smoothly.

But Shanxi was close to the capital and under control, so it was natural to choose Fenjiu, which is also a famous wine in the Celestial Dynasty.

It was not until 52 that Maotai was designated as the state banquet wine.

However, it was still difficult to increase the output at that time. In 57, it only produced more than 200 tons.

And it’s not a white porcelain bottle.

More than 58 tons were produced in 500, but the white porcelain bottles are still somewhat different from those of later generations.

And a bottle of 58-year-old Moutai, which is only 60 years old now, would already cost more than ten to 20 yuan if sold among private parties.

Otherwise, Li Yuanchao wouldn't dare say that he would trade a few boxes of Maotai liquor for one or several wild boars.

After all, rice now costs 1 yuan, so meat is naturally more expensive.

Chu Qianqian smiled and asked Li Yuanchao, "Aren't you afraid of your father having your legs broken?"

Li Yuanchao chuckled, "At worst, I'll trade part of the wild boar meat with someone for last year's or this year's Moutai.

After my father finds out, he will definitely just pretend not to know.

I left dozens of kilograms of the remaining wild boar meat for my own consumption.

Or exchange it for food, and everyone will get a share.

We will also be given a few or three large courtyards to live in, and some food will be distributed to those in need.

My dad, let alone beat me, still praise me. "Chu Qianqian gave Li Yuanchao a thumbs up. No wonder this boy is the best among their group of big boys in the courtyard.

But in the TV series, this guy ended up making money at home, but he went abroad.

But under the circumstances at that time, there were too many examples.

As for Zhong Yuemin, this guy is a fool.

Men are sentimental and those engaged in literary and artistic work are fine, but others are trash.

Chu looked forward at his watch, and then said to Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin, "Ask one or two people to follow Yuanchao home, and I'll take a look at the things.

If it's appropriate, I, as an elder brother, won't be nagging, and will go to the wild hillside to have a look tomorrow.

If you're lucky, you'll catch a wild boar.

A pound of wild boar meat costs 3 yuan.Your Moutai costs 10 yuan a bottle.”

Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin were overjoyed. There was indeed an example of Moutai being able to buy 20 bottles of it the year before last.

But those are very few, or if there is a price, few people buy it.

Not to mention that food and meat are more precious now.

If you want to drink, you can drink Fenjiu, Zhuyeqing, and Erguotou.

Among the people they knew who specialized in drinking Moutai, Chu Qianqian seemed to be the only one who had this habit.

The two boys nodded hurriedly, called a few people when they went out, and rode off on their bicycles.

After they left, Uncle Sun, who had been smoking and silent, pointed at Chu Qianqian and cursed with a smile, "You, the eldest brother, are still plotting against my little brother like this.

When they grow up, they will scold you in their hearts if Baoqi fails. "

Chu shrugged forward and said, "Uncle Sun, you have wronged me. It's a fair exchange. You and I agree.

Without vision or long-term vision, it can only be said that they have experienced too little.

Besides, just look at it, these guys will be kept in front of me for the next ten or twenty years, and they will all have to be honest.

Moreover, these days, as the eldest brother, I am willing to treat them to meat from time to time.

When they are bullied, they are willing to help them regain face.

Therefore, I feel at ease when I drink a few bottles of their wine. "

Uncle Sun shook his head helplessly. He was a shameless eldest brother, and he was eloquent and willing to spend money.

A group of half-grown men would indeed be coaxed into being obedient by him.

Even if the situation is serious enough, there is no problem in tricking them into charging into battle.

However, Uncle Sun has a good relationship with Chu Xiangqian and he likes him.

My heart is naturally towards him.

Half an hour later, not only Li Yuanchao's family brought 3 boxes of 30 bottles of Maotai, but several boys who also hid Maotai produced in previous years brought boxes of the wine back.

There are a total of 4 boxes of 58-year-old Moutai, and 3 boxes of 57-year-old Moutai for domestic sales.

Chu Qianqian's eyes were stunned. The white porcelain Moutai from 58 and the future seemed to have sold for 70 million yuan.

One from 57 also sold for over 200 million.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian's mentality at this time is very different from last year.

There was no problem with collecting wine, but he had no intention of selling it.

Instead, it will be consumed during festivals or festive events in the future.

Not only do you enjoy it yourself, but you also gain face in front of your friends and family.

The price of 70 bottles of Maotai is 700 yuan. Let alone it has been around for decades. Now, if you take this wine to Hong Kong Island to treat guests, the guests will be more satisfied if you keep it.

And 700 yuan is just 200 pounds of wild boar.

The meat of the wild boar refreshed in Novice Village weighs more than 200 kilograms.

Thinking about it, I felt that this business could be done without having to go to the mountains and spend two days hunting.

After reading it, Chu Xiangqian tied the boxes of wine to the back rack of his bicycle and the special folding shelves, got on his bicycle and left.

After wandering outside for more than twenty minutes, I took a bottle of tiger bone wine and the money Cathay transferred to Hong Kong Island's 1 bottles of Bamboo Leaf Green, and took out 5 bottles.

Li Yuanchao and others couldn't help but grin when they saw the five bottles of wine.

A bottle of this exported wine costs HKD 5, which is about HKD 5.8 when converted into Chinese currency.

In the eyes of people like Li Yuanchao, this wine is better than Maotai. After all, it is a real medicinal wine.

But Uncle Sun just smelled the tiger bone wine and became moved. He pulled Chu forward and asked softly.

"Well, I'll pay for it."

When Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew he was buying it for someone else.In this case, it should not be given away for free.

"One big yellow croaker in one bottle."

Uncle Sun was surprised, "Is this so expensive?"

Chu shrugged forward, "It's all tiger bones, plus the tiger bone Yuanyuan Pill, one big yellow croaker weighs a pound, it's like a child."

Uncle Sun thought for a while and nodded, "I want 2 bottles first."

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not be dissatisfied with it, "I'll give it to you in two days."

Uncle Sun felt relieved now. At the same time, Chu Xiangqian still had a high reputation.
-
As soon as the conversation was settled, someone from the cafeteria shouted that the meal was ready.

The four cow hooves are divided into pieces, and there are a total of 16 palm-sized belts, muscles and bones.

With the addition of ox tongue and ox tail, it can serve less than ten people, and you can be 7% full just by eating these.

Drink some more wine and a bowl of stewed broth, and your belly will suddenly become rounder.

A group of boys drank five bottles of wine, and in the end they were all only half-drunk. They were either chatting or bragging.

Chu Qianqian, who just ate a beef shank bone, didn't drink much. When he saw Uncle Sun finishing his last drink, he put down his chopsticks.

He immediately said to a group of boys, "Clean up after you finish eating, so that it won't be so easy to borrow someone else's kitchen next time."

Li Yuanchao and others nodded hurriedly, drank all the wine, and drank all the broth.

Then we started working together to clean up the kitchen.

The next day, Chu Xiangqian stared at the patriotic and people-loving people as usual.

Ai Lin still wants to be lazy, but Ai Guo and Ai Min couldn't control him before.

Now that this boy has followed his second aunt into the city, how can the brothers let him go?

Naturally, we share blessings and share hardships.

After some coercion and inducement, Ai Lin was dragged into suffering.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care, and in his heart, it was a good thing to let Ailin suffer some pain.

Because this boy is the youngest son, he is usually a bit spoiled.

Only Ai Qiu, the little one, imitated Chu Qianqian's behavior, clasping his little hands behind his back and staring at his three brothers.

Even when he saw that Ailin's horse steps were not up to standard, he would immediately hold Chu Qianqian's hand and point at Ailin and say that he didn't do a good job.
