Rebirth 1955 starts from the hunter

Chapter 28 Handing in the Task

Lin Dong didn't respond. He only walked along the stream to the den of the black bear where he hunted. It was obviously not the end.

Lin Dong could only say that there were plenty of these things, but they were a bit far away.

"Here's a can of lard. When you're done eating it, tell me. There's plenty at home. By the way, Dad, should I go to Uncle Guo and Uncle Xu's house?"

"Just bring some stuff with you and go there when you have time. Guo Jianping's home is in the south city. During the holidays, we can go there together."

"Oh! Then I'll give you two salted fish, a smoked chicken, and twenty salted duck eggs. Is that enough?"

"You are a junior, and it's just an ordinary visit, so this is enough. Dongzi, are you going to use these smoked chickens and salted fish to complete the task this time? Isn't it a little less?" - Lin Mancang asked while picking up the bamboo basket.

"This time we're handing over two yellow eels and a soft-shell turtle, and the rest are for our own consumption."

"It's better not to do this. Once you open this door, I will have to come to you if I need anything in the future."

"This stuff won't satisfy my hunger, and I can't bear to use smoked meat and salted fish to complete the task. They are so cheap. The smoked meat looks like a lot, but it's only enough for me to eat for a month or so. Besides, as long as I give you enough money, I can have as many eels and turtles as I want."

Lin Mancang instantly became interested, knowing that his son had discovered a treasure trove.

Lin Dong did not hide anything and described Xiaoxi's situation in detail.

"Okay, you're grown up now, figure it out for yourself!"

Seeing his stepmother coming over with an enamel basin, Lin Dong quickly stood up and took it.

After breakfast, Lin Dong took out some White Rabbit milk candy and played with Xiao Yuer for a while before setting off for the steel mill with his father.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Director Feng was away in a meeting, so Lin Dong had no choice but to wait.

After chatting with the warehouse keeper for a while, I found out that except for the unified regular meeting time on Mondays, Director Feng only comes here after the meeting.

Just after finishing a cigarette, I saw He Yuzhu walking towards me with two people.

"Good morning, Master He. Are you having any treats today?" - Lin Dong asked this because this is a small warehouse. If ordinary ingredients and grains are needed, they can be found in the ventilated shed next to it.

He Yuzhu took out a cigarette and handed it to Lin Dong, saying, "You guessed it right. What good stuff do you have today?"

Lin Dong did not hide it, opened the bamboo basket and said: "It is definitely top-notch ingredients. Have you used the wolf meat from last time?"

He Yuzhu, who saw the eel and turtle, gave a thumbs up and said, "Wow! Good work, brother, you are awesome."

He added: "The wolf's legs haven't been used yet. My master hasn't figured out how to do it."

Lin Dong thought of the wolf meat at home that needed to be processed, and said, "Master He, I heard someone tell me about a way to make it. Would you like to listen to it?"

"Oh! Brother Lin Dong also knows how to cook? Tell me about it." - He Yuzhu thought of the sausages that Lin Dong made last time, and he looked down on them.

Lin Dong knew his grandson's temper and didn't mind his attitude. The important thing was to find a way to deal with the wolf meat.

"That wolf leg was smoked with pine wood, and it was smoked very thoroughly. It now has a pine scent. When washing, just wash off the salt on the outside. Then make the cut narrower, use egg white, honey, rice wine, minced garlic, hot sauce, etc., marinate for more than three hours, then steam for an hour, and finally apply honey and bake for about 40 minutes. Remember to make it spicy. The finished product is spicy with a hint of sweetness..."

Lin Dong's explanation was simple and profound. He Yuzhu didn't care at first, but in the end he was still wanting more.

"Dongzi, is this a Sichuan dish?"

"This is a famous dish from the Ming Tombs. Its full name is Taihang Mountain Roasted Wolf Leg. By the way, it is best to use fresh peppercorns when roasting, as they are easier to absorb the flavor. The whole wolf leg must be served on the table, so that it looks more elegant." - Lin Dong made up a lie.

The method is of course not nonsense. As long as you do it according to what Lin Dong said, people who like spicy food will definitely like it.

He Yuzhu happily took the wolf leg back to the kitchen to do the preliminary work.

Lin Dong waited for another half an hour before Director Feng came back.

"Comrade Lin Dong, the eels and turtles are both very good. We have precedents here. We will sell them at the highest price of seven yuan. What do you think?" Director Feng asked after looking at the things.

Lin Dong secretly cursed him for being stingy. Who was he trying to fool with that price?

"Director Feng, we are all contributing to the country, so I shouldn't bargain with you. But these things don't belong to me yet, so, you see," - Lin Dong looked very embarrassed.

Seeing Lin Dong's expression, Director Feng secretly felt something was wrong.

He was not talking nonsense just now. A buyer had purchased eels of similar size before, and he also paid seven yuan for it.

But no one bought them after that, and he heard rumors that they were all sent to the restaurant.

"Comrade Lin Dong, tell me what price you have in mind?"

"Director Feng, these things were brought back from the mountains by an old hunter. He said he risked his life to bring them back. His request is too much. He also said that if I can't do it, I must bring the eels and turtles back today.

I didn't want to make this trip originally, but my elders interceded for me. The price is too different from what you said, so I'll just pretend I haven't been here today." - Lin Dong smiled and started to pack his backpack. Good things are easy to sell, and he didn't want to waste time here.

Director Feng saw Lin Dong's brisk movements and realized that he really didn't intend to hand over the task. No matter whether Lin Dong said it was true or not, he had to take it as true. Because he had no way to verify it, but his power was limited, and he couldn't give more even if he wanted to.

"Comrade Lin Dong, can you tell me the conditions of that hunter? If I can't make the decision, I will report it for you."

"Director Feng, this is not good! I will just return the things. But he dared to ask for such a high price. I will never buy anything from him again. This is a mutually beneficial matter, but he dared to take advantage of the public. If it weren't for the fact that we are from the same hometown, I would have wanted to report him." - Lin Dong seemed very indignant.

"Alas! That's a bit too much. These fish were caught by our fellow villagers at great risk from the deep mountains. It's understandable that they want to sell them for more money." - Director Feng said generously.

"But, he said that he sold it for thirteen yuan per pound before. Director Feng, I'd better give it back! Isn't this cheating? It's so unkind." - Lin Dong didn't stop. After putting it in the bamboo basket, he was about to hang it on the bicycle.

Director Feng quickly held Lin Dong's arm and said, "Our factory has a reception today. So, please wait a moment. I'll go ask Deputy Director Yang who is in charge of logistics. It won't take a moment."

Lin Dong sighed and said, "Director Feng, there's really no need to embarrass yourself. If something goes wrong, I won't be able to bear the responsibility on my small shoulders."

Director Feng also hesitated after hearing Lin Dong's words. Seven yuan was indeed a low price, but thirteen yuan was too high.

"Comrade Lin Dong, just tell me the conditions directly! I'll ask for your instructions too. If there is any mistake, it won't be our turn." - Director Feng said, pointing to the phone.
