Chapter XXXVIII. Procurement of a large number of hares
After Li Ping'an had lunch at his third uncle's house, he proposed to buy some unplanned food in the group, wanting to see if he could buy it in the village.
Li Shanhe pondered for a while, looking at his nephew and speaking lightly
"When the pigs in our village haven't been slaughtered yet, this can't be given to you, do you want a rabbit?"
"Rabbits? How many are there in our village? ”
Li Shanhe lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said slowly
"In the mountains behind our village, there are rabbits running all over the mountains."
"How is that possible? I remember that in 61 years, the people in our village were hungry, you organized the whole village to go up the mountain with guns to hunt and sweep all the animals that could be eaten in the back mountain, at that time I remember that I didn't even let go of the food stored by snakes and squirrels for the winter, and now the rabbits from the back mountain? ”
Li Shanhe nodded, and then continued to speak
"In 63, the situation was a little better, after the people in the village were able to eat, several old people in the village sat together and talked about it, this time it was the animals in the back mountain that saved the lives of the whole village, and now there are no animals in the back mountain, what if there is a famine in the future? Then I discussed and decided, got a dozen nests of rabbits from other places, and threw them all on the back mountain."
After Li Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, not to the people who survived the decades of war. Then he asked
"Third uncle, how many rabbits are there in the back mountain now?"
After Li Shanhe took a puff of cigarette, he smiled faintly
"I don't know how many there are, but there was a rule that you can't go into the back mountain to catch rabbits in two years, and now those rabbits are all over the mountain, and this year there are rabbits running to the village every three or five days."
Li Ping'an roughly estimated that if 15 litters of rabbits were put in at that time, 4 times a year, and 5 rabbits were born in one litter, it would be completely impossible to estimate in the past two years. There are certainly quite a few of them
Li Ping'an discussed with Li Shanhe to see if he could let the villagers go to the mountains to catch rabbits now, and then I would take them all.
Li Shanhe immediately agreed, there are too many rabbits, and now it's time to go into the mountains to catch rabbits, and then let the rabbits breed, it is estimated that they will go down the mountain to the field to find food this winter.
Next, the two talked about the purchase price, Li Ping'an gave the purchase price of 4 cents a catty, this price is the price of hairy rabbits, not the price of pure meat, in addition, pork is the most popular this year, and other meats are standing aside.
After negotiating the price, Li Shanhe went to inform the villagers to let him go to the back mountain to catch rabbits. Li Ping'an instructed that the family could only buy one, and if it was too much, he couldn't bring it back, and after instructing, Li Ping'an went to the grave of his parents to take a look. In these years, I couldn't burn paper, so I could only bow and fill the grave with soil.
After all, they occupy their son's body, and they still have to fulfill their filial piety.
After Li Ping'an came back, Li Shanhe had already informed the whole village that Li Ping'an had come back to purchase rabbits. When I heard that a rabbit was 4 cents a catty, the whole village was a sensation, and adults and children did not take a nap, so the whole family went up the mountain to catch rabbits.
Li Ping'an watched everyone in the village go up the mountain, and he was too lazy to join in the excitement when it was too hot, so he went back to his original house to find a mat, washed it with water, and went to the village to find a big tree and lie down in the shade to sleep.
At about three o'clock, Li Ping'an was woken up by people who came back from the mountains one after another. Seeing this situation, Li Ping'an didn't sleep anymore, came to the third uncle's house and drove his car to the door of the village committee, called out the village's finances, and then began to collect rabbits.
It's not cash, so many rabbits must be a big amount, just tell the people in the village directly, after the collection is done, you will keep the account, and when the rolling mill transfers the money to the account of the commune, you will come to the commune to receive the money.
No matter how partial it is, it is a suburban commune in Sijiu City, and the big guys know that the amount is too large to be transferred from business to business. In addition, Li Ping'an is still from the village, and everyone believes that this money will definitely be obtained.
The rabbit harvest went well, and by four o'clock all the people who had gone up the hill had returned, and every family had a harvest. For each one, the village's finance and Li Ping'an keep an account, and after the money is called, they will be given money according to the numbers on this account book, and they must not be sloppy.
By half past four, all the rabbits in the village had been collected, and the cages that the villagers helped to find, with the help of the villagers, successfully loaded all the rabbits into Li Ping'an's jeep.
Li Shanhe handed his nephew two rabbits and asked him to take them back and eat them himself. Li Ping'an didn't shirk it, and told the people in the village that the rabbits could be raised after they were caught, and he would come to purchase them at least once a month.
Li Ping'an was not in a hurry when he went back, knowing that he would definitely get off work long ago when he went back, and he would go at a normal speed on the road. There must be someone on duty in the factory, and when the time comes, call out the person on duty to weigh and sign for yourself.
If you want money, you will go to the finance tomorrow to report the accounts, and then let the finance go to the bank and call the village.
When Li Ping'an arrived at the factory, it was almost seven o'clock. This time I also went back to the courtyard first, and then called the three masters to call people, and after putting the rabbit home, I went straight to the factory to find the staff on duty in the canteen, and came down to weigh the rabbit.
The staff on duty in the warehouse was still unhappy when they came down, Li Ping'an did cause trouble to others today, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he took out his big front door, took out one person and lit one, and then stuffed the remaining half pack of cigarettes into the trouser pocket of the staff on duty.
The staff on duty saw that Li Ping'an stuffed half a pack of big front door for himself, and the expression on his face immediately turned into a smile, and he happily weighed the rabbit brought by Li Ping'an.
After successfully getting the sliver, I came to the carport and rode to my home, but I haven't eaten yet, and this young body has long been hungry.
After returning to the courtyard, before the car was parked, I heard Xu Damao calling himself at the moon gate in the middle courtyard.
After Li Ping'an parked the car, he looked back at Xu Damao and said
"Brother Da Mao, is there anything wrong with me?"
Xu Damao walked over, patted Li Ping'an's shoulder, and then said to Li Ping'an
"Brother Ping'an, you just came back and haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go, go to my brother's and have a drink with my brother, and wait for you to be better for a while."
Li Ping'an thought about it, this must be because of the incident last night.
Although Xu Damao is a villain, as long as you don't mess with him, he won't ask you for trouble. Besides, if someone has a dinner party, then go and eat. If you don't go, you'll be a fool. Xu Damao is a high-income group in this hospital, and he also has the support of Lou Xiao'e's mother's family, so he eats a meal. There is no burden on Li Ping'an
Li Ping'an thought of this, and immediately spoke
"Brother Da Mao, let's do it, you go back first, I went to the countryside today, I have a layer of soil on my body, I will go back and change my clothes, and then after a simple wash, I will go over immediately"
