While the Zhao family was in a state of unrest, Zhao Wei had already returned from the county town with a full load.
After bargaining with the fur shop owner, the leather was finally sold at a high price of 680.
In the early years, there were quite a lot of tiger skins circulating in the market. At that time, each town and village had specially organized campaigns to eliminate the tiger problem, which resulted in the price of tiger skins circulating in the market not being high, and the price was only two or three hundred yuan.
Right now, it is also because of the fact that things are rare and valuable that Zhao Wei can sell it at this price.
If you wait a few more years, this thing will cost you a lifetime in prison. On the black market, it can be hyped up to 300,000 yuan per piece.
There is no need to regret selling it now. The forest is so big and he still has plenty of opportunities to get it.
After walking around the county town, Zhao Wei found a bank and deposited the money into his passbook.
He was not used to carrying so much money with him, so it was safer to keep it in the bank. With only a hundred dollars on him, in this era, his wallet was so tight that he might not be able to spend it all.
This purchasing power can far surpass the tens of thousands of wages in later generations.
Zhao Wei bought a bunch of food and daily necessities, anything his family could use, without hesitation, packed them all in a sack, and then put them in the backpack.
On the way back, I took a ride with an acquaintance, the same driver as before.
The other party was very happy to see him. After all, with Zhao Wei escorting the car, their safety along the way would be greatly guaranteed.
When the female conductor came up to check the tickets, a bearded man in the crowd suddenly pointed at Zhao Wei and said to the conductor, "Comrade, you missed this person's ticket. How do you do your job? Be careful or I'll file a complaint against you!"
The female conductor explained calmly, "This comrade did not get a chance to ride. He is a new role model in our fleet. He has the right to ride for a year without buying a ticket."
The man insisted, "Oh... what model soldier? I've never heard of him. I think he's a relative of mine. Bah! How shameless!"
As soon as this man said this, the people in the car immediately started shouting in indignation.
"Wow, are you kidding me? For a fare of just a few cents, you still have to resort to backdoor tactics. How audacious!"
"We must investigate thoroughly and give everyone an explanation. Otherwise, kick this black sheep out of the group!"
"The world is bright and clear, and there is no room for darkness. The eyes of the people are sharp."
…
These people were bewitched by the bearded man and regarded Zhao Wei as a negative example, wishing everyone could kill him.
Seeing this, the driver naturally stood next to Zhao Wei and spoke for him.
But it was obvious that as representatives of the team, he and the ticket seller were treated as birds of a feather by these people.
Zhao Wei had not expected that his desire to keep a low profile and stop the team from publicizing his achievements would bring him so much trouble.
Of course, he was not afraid of these things. If these people didn't let him take the free ride, he would just refuse to take it.
It was just two cents. For him now, it was just a drop of water and he didn't even blink an eye.
At this moment, what he was more concerned about was the woman next to the bearded man, who had been wrapping herself tightly in a big towel.
The other person was wrapped like a dumpling, which was not normal behavior. Out of professional instinct, he smelled an unusual smell.
So, he pulled the driver and the conductor aside and had a whispered conversation with them.
After listening to this, the two nodded with heavy expressions.
The female conductor turned around and said coldly to the bearded man, "Comrade, it seems that you are not very satisfied with our work. In this case, please come with me to meet our captain."
"If we have any problems, we can speak up. If it's really my fault, I can resign. What do you think?"
The bearded man curled his lips and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you guys can't do your job well, that's your business. Don't delay the car from leaving on time."
At this time, the driver suddenly interrupted and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. The car is damaged and needs some time to be repaired. Please get off now and wait patiently on the side."
When everyone heard this, they immediately cried out in grief.
"Ahhh...are you kidding me? I'm in such a hurry to go home. If I delay for a while, it will be dark soon."
"What a hassle! Since there was something wrong with the car, why didn't you check it out before setting off? Why did you have to do this while you were carrying passengers? The people in your team are so irresponsible!"
…
Everyone was cursing, but they had no choice but to get off the car. Otherwise, there was really something wrong with the car and it would pose a huge threat to their safety.
The bearded man helped the woman next to him up and got out of the car with the crowd.
Surprisingly, the two of them only brought an inconspicuous basket.
Zhao Wei is no stranger to this basket.
The last time a woman stole something from a car, she used a basket like this one.
There are many such bamboo baskets in the world, but Zhao Wei recognized this basket at a glance.
These days, with his grandfather around, he has studied bamboo products carefully.
I found that these things are similar on the surface, but you can see the difference if you look closely.
The material of the basket in the woman's hand was very special. When he was chasing the thieves who robbed the tiger, he entered the territory of the neighboring Haozi Village.
I only took a quick glance, but I could still tell that the bamboo in this place was a very unusual variety, with a little bit of purple and black. It is an excellent variety called purple bamboo, and it would be extremely ornamental if used to make bamboo products.
