"Director Feng, it's like this. The hunter's minimum requirement is ten yuan per catty, but he also wants ten feet of cotton cloth tickets, ten catties of woolen yarn tickets, and ten catties of sugar tickets."

Director Feng was silent for a long time before he said, "Comrade Lin Dong, let's weigh them first. You know that the price of eels and turtles is very different. I always need a specific number when I report."

Lin Dong did not refuse and lent a hand to help the warehouse manager weigh the goods.

"Two yellow eels weigh 7.8 jin, and the soft-shell turtle weighs 5.2 jin." - said the warehouse keeper.

Director Feng didn't hesitate and picked up the phone and shook it a few times.

"Hello, Director Yang, this is what happened, …………."

Five minutes later, Director Feng hung up the phone and said, "Comrade Lin Dong, Deputy Director Yang has agreed. Today we will do as you say. From now on, the total price will be fixed at twelve yuan."

Lin Dong took out a cigarette and walked around again, then nodded and said, "Director Feng, I'll do as you say."

"The eel is 78 yuan, and the turtle is 52 yuan." - Director Feng asked someone to send the eel and turtle to the kitchen and decisively cut the bill.

Lin Dong didn't waste any time. He took the note and went to the Finance Department to collect the money.

What Lin Dong is thinking about now is to sell all the remaining eels and turtles. He feels sad just thinking about how much weight they would lose in a day, as these are just small amounts of money.

The steel rolling mill is only short of forty or fifty yuan worth of supplies to complete the task, and we can leave it at the end of the month.

Lin Dong came to the driver's lounge, found his father, and told him what happened.

Lin Mancang said: "Dongzi, it would be a pity to sell it to outsiders, just leave it to me and go back now."

"Let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative first. I need to exchange the ticket for something."

"Then let's walk!"

With money and tickets, buying things is quick. An hour later, the father and son returned to the village.

When he walked into the yard, Lin Mancang was stunned. This was within Lin Dong's expectations.

Without waiting for Lin Mancang to ask, he said directly: "The vegetable garden and these pigs and sheep were bought after the Chinese New Year."

Lin Mancang nodded, gave a few meaningless compliments, and after a brief walk around, he had to rush back to Sijiu City.

"Dad, take these two fangs back to Xiaofan." - Lin Dong said as he took out two wild boar tusks about 20 centimeters long.

"It's smoked well, and it looks a bit white like jade." - Lin Mancang said.

"There's a lot of meat in the cellar. Do you want to take some back?"

"Oh, let's go and have a look."

The father and son went down to the cellar, and Lin Dong lit the oil lamp inside.

This cellar is five meters deep and very cool down there. Lin Dong has spiritual awareness, so he doesn’t need to light a lamp when he comes down.

Lin Mancang took a closer look and pointed at the newly hung wild boar meat and said, "These two are the prey from yesterday, right?"

Lin Dong nodded and said, "The big ones weigh 400 to 500 kilograms. You can see that this pig head weighs at least 30 kilograms. If the whole braised pig head is placed on the table, wouldn't it be very domineering?"

Lin Mancang's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "That's it. I'll take it away."

"No, Dad, this is so good for us to eat during the New Year."

"It's not easy to smoke it thoroughly because it's so big. It would be a pity if it goes bad. Don't we have another one?" - Lin Mancang said, pointing to another pig's head.

Seeing Lin Mancang carrying the thing and about to go up, Lin Dong had no choice but to follow him.

"Dongzi, I remember you said there are a lot of loaches in the creek? Are they big?"

"How big can a loach be? The largest is no more than two taels. I'm too lazy to catch it."

"Hey, son, why don't you make another run tomorrow? Help me catch more loaches. They'll be very useful."

"Isn't it going to be given to Lou Bancheng again?" Lin Dong asked suspiciously.

"What Lou Bancheng? Don't call him by nicknames anymore. Mr. Lou's nickname is Lou Zhenhua. You should call him Uncle Lou when you see him in the future."

"Dad, even if you were his confidant before, it was an employment relationship. Now that you're free and no longer have the boss's job, can't you have less contact with him?" - Lin Dong said very solemnly.

"What's your attitude, kid? Mr. Lou is our family's fortune. If it weren't for him, I would have died long ago. If I died, it's hard to say whether you would be alive. Our village was protected by Mr. Lou in the beginning, so there were no soldiers coming to collect taxes. People can forget grudges, but they can never forget favors." - Although Lin Mancang's voice was not loud, Lin Dong still felt the anger in his tone.

"Dad, please don't misunderstand me. I just think that he used to be a big boss. They say a lean camel is bigger than a horse. I just don't want you to curry favor with him." - Lin Dong coaxed Lin Mancang with words but meant it. He felt so bitter in his heart!

There is actually such a relationship. What will happen in ten years? Will my relatives in the village be implicated if I run away? Lin Dong sighed in his heart and could only take it one step at a time.

Hearing Lin Dong's words, Lin Mancang felt that his son didn't want him to be wronged, and he immediately laughed a few times and said, "It's all for you, kid. Stay home! I'm going back."

Looking at Lin Mancang's receding back, Lin Dong felt very heavy in his heart. He wanted to get drunk to forget his sorrow, but he felt that this was too wasteful.

Just bury your worries deep in your heart and continue the unfinished project.

While Lin Dong was working at home, the reception restaurant of the Third Steel Rolling Mill was bustling with people.

"Secretary Su, as one of the important pilot projects, the expansion of our Third Steel Rolling Mill is imperative. The project is divided into three phases, and we will strive to make it a pillar industry of our country within three years."

"I hope Minister Zheng will support me in all this. Engineer Jiang, Engineer Liu, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

"Secretary Su, you are too polite. This is what we should do. Let me toast you."

…………………….

For a while, the atmosphere was very lively, and everyone was toasting each other and chatting happily.

At this time, Deputy Factory Director Yang stood up and walked to the door, took the dishes brought by the kitchen staff, put them on the table and said: "Dear leaders, those who like spicy food are in luck! Just looking at it can make your mouth water."

"Is this a large ham from abroad? It's just that the cooking method is very similar to Sichuan cuisine."

“hahahahahaha, I’ll keep it a secret for now, everyone try it first.” - Deputy Director Yang said as he picked up the public chopsticks and picked up a piece for Minister Zheng first. He knew that this leader especially loved spicy food.

As for whether the leaders would mind eating wolf meat, of course not. Those who can sit here did not come out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. How many of them have not eaten rats, insects and the like?

Minister Zheng looked at the red meat, picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and began to chew slowly.

"It's spicy, fresh and fragrant, slightly sweet, and a bit woody in texture. Overall, it's not bad, not bad." - Minister Zheng said as he put down his chopsticks.

"Xiao Yang, tell me, what kind of meat is this?"

Deputy Director Yang smiled and said, "This is a wolf leg, the hind leg of a jungle wolf."

After Deputy Director Yang finished speaking, everyone tried a piece even though they didn't like spicy food.

"The body is the capital of the revolution. All leaders have been working hard recently. This turtle weighs more than five kilograms and is very rare. Paired with ginseng and wolfberry, it is a good thing to replenish vitality."

"These two yellow eels come from the deep mountains. They are good for replenishing the waist..."

The next morning, after Lin Dong finished his breakfast, he cleaned up the house, checked his equipment, and headed for the creek with a bamboo basket on his back.

Since there was no trap set before, the journey was faster. Before eight o'clock, Lin Dong arrived at the creek.

Suddenly I thought of another exit of the black bear's lair, which must be on the other side of the mountain.

Thinking it was still early, Lin Dong prepared to go take a look. An hour later, Lin Dong stood in the black bear's den again.

Seeing that the stone that blocked the road last time was still there, Lin Dong was very curious about where the foul smell came from.

The smell was very similar to that left by weasels, but Lin Dong did not find their nest.

Arriving at the cave entrance, Lin Dong was about to remove the blocking stones. As soon as the first stone fell to the ground, he heard a "squeaking" sound coming from above.

Lin Dong subconsciously looked up and saw four fist-sized heads on a protruding boulder thirty meters above. They had short round ears, yellow spots on their throats, and big black eyes that kept rolling around, revealing their ferocity and cunningness.

Lin Dong cursed his bad luck in his heart. It turned out to be a yellow-throated marten. No wonder he didn't see any snakes.

This thing is also at the top of the food chain. Its teeth have deep grooves like bayonets and are poisonous. If bitten, there is a high probability of heavy bleeding. More than two of them dare to attack adult wild boars.

Lin Dong saw four of them, and he was in big trouble today.

Lin Dong knew that they would not be able to hold back for long and would come to attack, but they were too fast for bows and arrows to be effective.

Lin Dong's spiritual sense was fully alert. He held the saber at his waist with his right hand and continued to push the stone at the entrance of the cave with his left hand.

I have to run outside because the space in the cave is too small. If I get bitten, I'm done for the day.

There were fewer and fewer stones at the entrance of the cave, and the figure of the yellow-throated marten did not appear in Lin Dong's consciousness.

Seeing that the entrance was wide enough to get out, Lin Dong did not dare to hesitate and walked straight out of the cave.

Just as he took the first step, two yellow afterimages rushed towards Lin Dong's neck. Lin Dong rolled forward out of the cave, turned around suddenly without any hesitation, and chopped down the yellow afterimage with his saber.

As blood spurted down, a yellow-throated marten was split in half.

At the same time, another yellow-throated marten was only inches away from Lin Dong's thigh.

A shorter saber was placed in front of the yellow-throated marten's mouth. With a swipe of the saber, the marten's small head was split into two halves, and its brain mixed with blood spilled onto Lin Dong's leg.

This was exactly the saber that Lin Dong had been tying to his calf. It was controlled by his spiritual consciousness just now that produced the unexpected effect.
