wow~

After shaking the letter paper, Xu Dahai saw what was written on the paper: "

My good friend Xu Dahai:

Long time no see. How are you doing?

Yesterday I received a telegram from Zhao Yejun in Yanjing, saying that he wanted to buy two more bear skins. He wanted them urgently and the price was negotiable. I thought about it and realized that this was a good opportunity.

I don’t have bearskins myself, and I can’t make this kind of money.

Now I want to ask if you have it, or if you can think of a way, as long as you can get two bear skins, you can make thousands of dollars, which is equivalent to several years of wages of ordinary workers.

Regardless of whether it works or not, I hope to hear back as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

salute!

Writer: Shen Feng

date? ?I don’t know what day it is, but it’s the day you saw the letter, or it was written the day before. "

After reading the letter, Xu Dahai was instantly happy. The words and sentences in the letter were much more formal, and he seemed a little uncomfortable with it.

"Zhao Yejun wants to buy a bear skin?? Two more?? I happen to have a black blind man's skin in my hand, so I can get another one."

Xu Dahai put away the letter and began to think about where to go to get another bear skin.

Wang Xiuxiu came over and looked curiously: "Who sent the letter?"

"Shen Feng from the county seat said that a friend from Guanli wanted to buy two bear skins and asked me if I had any."

"Oh, we have a bearskin at home."

Relatively speaking, squirrel skin is easier to tan, and it’s very simple to just rub it.

Bear skin is much more troublesome. You must first scrape off the excess fat on the inside of the skin with a knife, then bake it on a wooden rack over fire, beat it, bake it and beat it again, and then rub it.

The areas that cannot be rubbed will continue to bake.

It took Xu Dahai a lot of effort to tan the black blind man's skin at home.

"Yeah, there's only one, it's best to find another one."

"Last time, the bear skin was sold for 1500 yuan, so this time the bear skin..."

Wang Xiuxiu's beautiful eyes shone brightly, and her face looked like a money-crazy one.

His wife was so cute, Xu Dahai laughed instantly and hugged her into his arms.

"Don't make trouble~"

"I will definitely strive for a high price when the time comes, but to be honest, this black blind man's skin is probably not as valuable as the horse-sized bear's skin last time.

Because the area is much smaller, generally speaking, the larger the area, the more valuable it is. "

"Hmm, then where can I find the second bear skin?"

"I'll go to the village chief's house and borrow the village loudspeaker to shout."

Xu Dahai put on his coat and walked out with the dogs.

First, I went to the canteen to buy a pack of cigarettes. After I arrived at the village chief’s house, the village chief’s voice soon rang out from the village’s loudspeaker, followed by a harsh sound of electricity:

"Attention, all the villagers are attentive, who has a complete bear skin??

A friend from our village, Xu Dahai, wanted to buy a bearskin and offered 150 yuan!If anyone has bearskins, you can come and have a look.

......"

I spoke into the loudspeaker three times in a row before turning off the loudspeaker.

The price of 150 yuan is already quite high in the countryside. The reason for the high price is to buy one as soon as possible.

Village head home.

Xu Dahai sat leisurely on the kang, smoking a cigarette, and chatting with the village chief. He waited for more than an hour before going home.

No one came to sell bearskins.

When Xu Dahai took the dogs home, he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

“It shouldn’t be, there isn’t even a complete bear skin??”

However, he quickly adjusted his emotions and smiled casually.

"What's the big deal? I'll go shopping in other villages tomorrow. There are so many villages. I don't believe I can't buy a bearskin."

Xu Dahai just returned home.

For the front and back legs, Shengli came over, but his bear skin had been cut into three parts and was incomplete.

Xu Dahai thought for a while and declined.

There is a high probability that Zhao Yejun wants the complete bearskin, so he can restore the incomplete past. If the other party doesn't want it then, he will have no choice but to throw it into his own hands.

Sheng Sheng was mentally prepared and didn't say anything. He sat for a while and then left.

After dinner.

Mom, dad, and sister Xiaohua came over under the moonlight. After entering the house, they chatted, drank tea, and watched TV, and they were relaxed and enjoying themselves.

Sudden.

Father Xu Houtian asked: "Xiaosi, have you bought the bear skin?"

"Ah, no, I plan to visit some surrounding villages tomorrow."

"I remember... Xu Youcheng's family seems to have a bear skin? I don't know if it has been sold. How about I go and take a look?"

"Huh?" Xu Dahai was slightly startled.

……

the other side.

Xu You got married.

A large family was also eating, such as large pancakes, stewed vermicelli with pickled cabbage and pork, stewed fish, etc., which were coated with a layer of pale gold under the dim light.

But the atmosphere was quite solemn and no one spoke.

After a while.

Sudden.

Xu Youcheng's father knocked on his pipe and pot and said:

"There's no use keeping that bear skin in our house. I wanted to sell it a few years ago.

It's just that the dealer who collected the skin was only willing to give me 24 yuan. I asked him to give me 1 yuan more, but he refused to agree.

If he was willing to pay 1 yuan more that time, he would sell it. "

Xu Youcheng's wife picked up a chopstick of stewed vermicelli with pickled cabbage and pork, and said quickly:

"Yeah, this time the fourth son of Xu Houtian's family is willing to give 150 yuan. It's really good. It's equivalent to making... more than 120 yuan more, right? Isn't this for sale??"

In an instant, the whole family looked at Xu Youcheng.

Xu Youcheng's wife even pushed him and asked him to speak quickly.

"Huh huh~ Xu Dahai, this little brat, is a ghost.

He bought the bear skin for 150 yuan. Do you know how much money he made when he resold it? ?

Definitely much more than 150 yuan!I just don’t make any money myself, and I don’t let him make any money! ! "

"You kid... if you don't sell it, how can you stop others from selling it? People can still buy bearskins from others."

The old lady felt that her son was crazy and going crazy.

"He can buy it from wherever he likes, and he can't even buy it from me anyway!!"

Xu Youcheng felt a stick in his neck, huffing angrily, and his nostrils seemed to have become much larger.

……

Xu Dahai and Xu Youcheng had conflicts, so in the end he stopped his father Xu Houtian from going to Xu Youcheng's house to avoid being ridiculed.

the next day.

After breakfast, Xu Dahai rode the Erba Dagong to Laosongtun early in the morning. There was no Laosongtun, and then he went to Yanlizitun...

Another three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Dahai went to the lower villages such as Baidianzi Township, Longxing Township and Ersong Township, but still couldn't buy a bear skin.

Either they were cut or made into clothes, but most of them were sold.

This morning.

Rumble~ After a few thunders in the gloomy sky, a steady drizzle finally fell.

Xu Dahai stood by the window with his hands behind his back and sighed:

"Hey~ If it doesn't work out, just sell one bear skin. If you can't find the second one, there's nothing you can do about it."
