Chapter 67 Tiger Bone Wine
"I didn't get it in exchange. I went hunting with my father in the mountains. We hunted a wild boar and sold it to the steel mill. I got some money from it and I went to the commission point to buy this car."
Chen Feng made a special explanation.
If he doesn't explain, rumors will start flying again tomorrow, and someone might even suspect his relationship with Lou Xiao'e.
This relationship cannot be discussed casually.
There is some explanation for exchanging it for a car, the relationship between the two bicycles is too deep.
Guo Chunhua obviously didn't think as far as Chen Feng. Looking at this 50% new bicycle, she guessed the price and couldn't help but feel envious.
Her monthly salary was only more than 30 yuan, and she spent almost three months' salary to buy a bicycle.
Reluctant to part with it!
Anyway, my home is not far from here, so I might as well walk.
"Xiao Feng, it seems that you have made a fortune. Tell me, what do you want to buy?"
Chen Feng looked around at the things in the supply and marketing cooperative and took out some food coupons, cloth coupons, etc.
"Give me a pound of rice, three feet of cloth, and some soft candy."
Guo Chunhua packed it for him and asked, "Xiao Feng, next time you go hunting in the mountains, can you leave some meat for our supply and marketing cooperative? I can find our director and guarantee to give him a price no lower than that of the steel mill."
Chen Feng agreed immediately.
"Okay, I've memorized the mountain route, I'll go up the mountain by myself next time. Auntie, will you guys collect the meat?"
"No problem, of course we--"
Guo Chunhua agreed at first, but then thought of the dangers of Yanshan Mountain and stopped him, saying, "Hey, what am I talking about, Xiaofeng? You can't go into the mountains alone. If you encounter wolves or poisonous snakes, it will be dangerous."
"Uh, well, I'm not going."
Seeing that she was worried, Chen Feng had to comfort her, put the rice and cloth on the back seat of the bicycle, waved to her and went home.
Guo Chunhua felt a little uneasy and planned to go to Chen's house after get off work to talk to him, so as to prevent Chen Feng from really going up the mountain alone.
There are still many wild animals in Yanshan now, and it is not as safe as it will be in the future.
There are not only wild boars and wolves, but also bears and tigers in the deep waters. Many veteran hunters have fallen victim to them.
In the mountainous forests of the south, such as Guizhou, Hunan, Guangdong and other places, the South China tiger is rampant everywhere.
In February 1959, the Ministry of Forestry issued a special instruction, calling on hunters to form tiger-hunting teams and launching a large-scale "pest eradication campaign" that lasted for 2 years.
The target is large and dangerous animals such as tigers, bears, wolves, and leopards in the mountains and forests.
For this reason, newspapers specifically highlighted the huge harm caused by these harmful animals.
When he returned to the alley, Chen Feng saw a group of middle-aged women gathered together.
"You don't know, every household in those areas that were hit by the disaster had dozens of kilograms of rice and sweet potatoes as big as a human head, more than a dozen of them."
Grandma Mao from Compound 92 gestured with her hands, “Such big sweet potatoes are delivered directly to their tents.”
"They all said they didn't know and didn't see anyone go into their tent. Are you kidding me? With so much food, how could they not hear any noise?"
"That's right. If it wasn't sent by a human, could it be carried by five ghosts?" The second aunt from Compound No. 95 said enviously.
Jia Zhang was also inside, and she said with some jealousy, "That's right. Old Jia in my family has been dead for so many years, and he didn't even bother to bring some food to my family."
"Maybe it really is a ghost. There are soldiers watching over there. With so much food going in, they will definitely see it."
"Nonsense, someone must have stolen it for them. There are no ghosts in the world. If there were ghosts, my dead ghost would have come to see me a long time ago. I haven't even had a dream in all these years."
"Steal, where can we steal so much food? It's enough for tens of thousands of people. It's all snow-white millet, which is perfect for making porridge."
"That's not right. Why is millet white? Shouldn't it be yellow? Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. My second uncle's third cousin is a policeman. He saw with his own eyes that the millet was all white."
As Chen Feng passed by them, the aunties who were discussing enthusiastically the rain of grain from the disaster-stricken resettlement site in the east of the city were in no mood to ask any questions. Instead, they were all drooling as they discussed the "luck" of the disaster-stricken people and wished they could get a few dozen kilograms of millet for themselves.
Millet is of course yellow, but what he sent was rice, and it was specially ground into millet.
After all, the old lady suspected that there was something wrong with the rice last time, so it was impossible for him to keep every intact grain of rice.
Return to the yard.
"Cauldron, cauldron!"
The little girl in the yard saw him come back, her eyes fixed on the back seat of the bicycle, and she ran quickly towards the rear of the bicycle with her short legs.
"Don't look at it, there's only rice and cloth."
Chen Feng did not take out the candies this time. If he had, the little girl would definitely ask him for them every day.
Don't lie to children. If you lie too much, you will set a bad example for them.
"Big pot, I'm hungry."
The little girl hugged his legs and said coquettishly: "Barbecue."
"When Dad comes back in the evening, we'll have meat to eat." Chen Feng said with a smile.
Chen Hao and a group of children were playing in the mud on the threshold between the middle and front yards. They looked up and saw Chen Feng coming back, carrying a few yellow mud cars that he had dried.
"Lily, I'll give you a car."
When the little girl saw the dried yellow mud cart, she immediately let go of her brother's legs, picked up the immovable cart, and lay on the stone slab at the door under the eaves to play with it.
It only looks like a car, but it doesn't even have wheels.
However, Chen Hao was clever. He used a thin stick to draw small grids on it to represent windows, and placed a small ball of mud underneath to act as a car wheel.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
Chen Hao wanted to pick up the rice, but Chen Feng patted him.
"Wash your hands first. Look how dirty you are. If mom comes back, she will definitely give you a beating."
Chen Hao laughed and said, "I made several cars today. If Lily hadn't wanted to drive and damaged one, I would have six now."
Chen Feng went to the kitchen with a paper bag containing rice. Just like before, he added another ten kilograms of rice and secretly added half a kilogram of peanut oil to the oil bottle.
When I came out, I saw little Lily holding up the mud car in her hand with a wronged look on her face, with all four wheels falling off.
"Er Guo, the wheels fell off."
"It's okay, I'll put it back on for you."
Not to mention the two little ones who continued to play in the mud.
Chen Feng went into the old man's room and took out the candies. The old lady who was embroidering shoes put the candies into the cabinet next to the fire pit.
The old man asked a few questions about the harvest and smiled, "If this were in Hunan, Grandpa would be very lucky. He hasn't drunk tiger bone wine for many years."
"You're already old, and you're still talking about tiger bone wine. Aren't you ashamed?" the old lady laughed.
The tiger disaster in South China, Hunan was very serious. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, thousands of people were killed every year. At the peak period, tigers ate 32 people a day.
The conflict between humans and tigers was very intense, and many old hunters were awarded the title of tiger-hunting hero and certificates. Thanks to their efforts, the ferocious beasts in the south were completely wiped out, so that twenty years later wild boars and rabbits began to proliferate.
"Grandpa, our family should have some connections over there, right?" Chen Feng asked.
"Yes, what do you want to do?" asked the old man.
Chen Feng thought of the fame of tiger bone wine in later generations and said, "The number of tigers is limited after all. If everyone continues to fight like this, they will become extinct sooner or later."
"Why don't we take advantage of the fact that there are so many tigers now and the meat and bones from hunting are cheap? Let's collect some to make wine."
"You can't use it, but Dad can. Maybe I can use it in the future too."
The old man laughed and nodded.
"That's a good idea. I happen to know a tiger bone formula. I'll write to them now and ask them to send some tiger bones over."
Chen Feng glanced at the old man. The tiger bone formula is not common.
The old man always has something to surprise him.
