Catch the Mountain 1985

Chapter 71 Zhao Decai’s abilities

Without waiting for long, Wang Xiufen had already prepared the food. Wang Xiufen called Zhang Peng, who was listening with great interest, and set the table, picked up bowls and chopsticks. After they were put away, the dishes followed closely, and she looked at the dishes. The dish was served, and because it was a family meal, the dishes were large and the portions were sufficient, so the entire table was filled.

Since everyone was not an outsider and no one was drinking, Wang Xiufen invited everyone to gather around the same table to eat. Zhang Tiejun and Zhao Decai were not there. If they were, they would have to sit at separate tables according to the rules.

Looking at the vegetables and rice on the table, Wang Xiaoli couldn't help but swallowed. It was too rich. Although he ate some bear meat dregs in the morning, it couldn't satisfy his craving. Normally, the family would only eat meat once during the Chinese New Year. I don’t dare to worry about eating when I’m full. Even if some fat meat is put in the dumplings on New Year’s Eve, they are already very delicious in Wang Xiaoli’s opinion.What's more, now the table is full of meat and vegetables, which is really enjoyable.

When Wang Xiufen sat down, she saw everyone feeling some inexplicable feelings. She thought about the life she had lived in the past, and then looked at the life now. Now the days are getting better and better, and she felt happy in her heart. Then Wang Xiufen didn't say much, and now she has nothing. Eating is important, and it is engraved in people’s bones that food is their first priority.

"I'm really happy that everyone is gathered together today. This is how it should always be. Auntie and Xiaoli, we can't be outsiders. This is home, let's start eating."

After Wang Xiufen finished speaking, she took a spoonful of chicken cake and gave it to Wang Xiaoli's grandma. The family dinner had begun. Zhang Peng was not polite. He picked up a piece of fat pork and put it in Wang Xiaoli's bowl, telling him to be polite. You can eat whatever you want, just like at home. Seeing the whole family being so enthusiastic, both Wang Xiaoli and grandma felt a warm current flowing through their hearts, and they were no longer restrained.

Grandma Wang Xiaoli also picked up a spoon and gave Zhang Peng's two sisters a spoonful each in their bowls. Then she smiled and told them to eat quickly, while Wang Xiaoli buried her head in eating. The vegetable rice was so delicious. As for Li Cuihua and Zhao Chunming was just like a family member and was not polite. Zhao Chunming followed Zhang Peng and ate with their heads down.

After a while, the three of them had almost eaten. Each person had two big bowls of sorghum rice, and the last person had a bowl of meatball soup. It was a real pleasure to rub their bellies.

After dinner, Zhang Peng and the others went to the west room, while Wang Xiufen and the others were chatting in the east room. They were going to study the plan for this winter. This winter was very important to the three of them. This was a way to quickly accumulate funds. Channels, everything requires capital. Zhang Peng also has his own plans for next year and wants to discuss them with them.

"The first thing on the list is definitely going up the mountain. This meat is real money. It's up to us how much we can get. Of course, we can't always be in the mountain this winter, so we must make backup plans. .”

After Zhang Peng thought about it, he looked at Zhao Chunming and Wang Xiaoli, hoping that they could also have some ideas and brainstorm.

"In addition to the free time when I go up the mountain, I still want to get some fish to sell. After all, Chunming and I are very familiar with fishing. In addition to selling the fish, I also need other fish for my own consumption. I always eat meat. I still need to change the taste, of course this can also be a fixed income." Wang Xiaoli lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to Zhang Peng and Zhao Chunming
"Well, this is a way, then let's walk on two legs, and strive to change our current lives by the end of the year. We will prepare in the past two days, and we will go up the mountain. Xiaoli, your family must also make arrangements, and we will go up the mountain. It will take a few days," Zhang Peng said to Wang Xiaoli.

"Well, okay, second brother, I have no problem with this. I'm also looking forward to us going up the mountain together."

"Haha... That's good. Let's go ask my Uncle Zhao in the evening of Chunming to see if there is any news." Zhang Peng turned to Zhao Chunming and said

"Well, okay, second brother"

After a while, Wang Xiaoli and others got up and left. They had to go back and pack up quickly to prepare for the trip up the mountain. They also had to make arrangements at home, so Wang Xiufen and others did not stay any longer.In the evening, after dinner, Zhang Peng climbed over the wall and came to Zhao Chunming's house. When he opened the door and entered the house, he saw Zhao Decai lying on the kang, while Zhao Chunming was chatting with Li Cuihua. When he saw Zhang Peng enter the house, he quickly greeted Zhang Peng. Sitting on the kang.

When Zhao Decai saw Zhang Peng, he also sat up and said with a smile: "The second son is here, but your father hasn't come over yet?"

"No, uncle, my dad has something to do at home. I didn't just come here because I was thinking about myself."

"Haha... I heard my boy say that you want to find out if there are any traces of wild boars, right?"

"Well, yes, we don't have to go up the mountain, but it's probably quite strenuous for us to walk on our own. It's snowing heavily outside, and some traces were quickly covered. Even hunting dogs have to rely on luck to go up the mountain. Our Rhubarb The incense is good, but if there isn’t one nearby, it’s all for nothing.”

Zhang Peng sat on the kang and looked at Zhao Decai. He hoped that Zhao Decai could gain something here. After all, there was really no news in the village that Zhao Decai didn't know, and Zhao Chunming nodded repeatedly beside him.

"Well... Second son, this is our family's business. Why don't I try my best? Before you came, your father asked me to pay attention to the news in this regard. Isn't that all there is? I heard it yesterday A worker at the forest farm said that there are roe deer or deer footprints in the forest stalls on the east side of our village near the Li family shack. There are not too many of them, just a few, but I don’t think this is just right for you."

Zhang Peng thought about the place described by Zhao Decai. It was not very far from the village, but he didn't know if it still existed.

"Uncle, this is good news, but I don't know if it is available now. I won't let anyone beat me."

"No, don't worry. I asked specifically. He said it was about the past two days and he couldn't do it himself, so he didn't tell anyone else."

"Uncle, you are really amazing. There is news so quickly, so it makes sense. We are going to go and take a look first."

"Don't worry, I will take action from your uncle. Can you fool me with this little bit of corn kernels? There is also news. Your uncle from the Tan family who is very good to me in our village also provided me with news. He told me a few days ago Near the Immortal Cave, I guess not far from your cellar, I found a group of wild boars. It is said that there are quite a lot of them. This can be the focus of a walk."

This Zhao Decai's move was unusual. There was good news so quickly. Zhao Daming's name was not for nothing. Zhang Peng admired him very much. This also saved them a lot of energy. They happened to be near the underground cellar. This way they can also go to the alkali site and look at the traces.

"Okay, thank you, uncle, so we can be successful during this period," Zhang Peng said with a smile.
Then we chatted for a while, and agreed to go find Wang Xiaoli tomorrow. The plan could not keep up with the change, and soldiers must be quick. Don't wait until all the prey has escaped. If we go again, the gain will not be worth the loss.
