"Uncle Zhao, this is Zhou Zhiqing from Dabazi Village, the leader of the Mushroom Group. The people our production team sent out to study here are learning from him."
Zhao Yonghua came to the old blind man and began to introduce themselves to each other.
"Ziwen, this is my uncle Zhao. He's an excellent leather tanner, and he's a famous craftsman in every village."
As he spoke, he gave a thumbs up.
"Let's talk about it!"
Blind Zhao nodded to Zhou Ziwen, then said to Zhao Yonghua.
"Uncle Zhao, I have a piece of leather and I'd like you to help me with it."
Before Zhao Yonghua could speak, Zhou Ziwen stated his intention.
"Take it out and let me see it?"
Blind Zhao did not refuse either.
He was old and could not do any heavy work in the production team. He usually made a living by helping people tan furs.
Of course, there was no reason for him to refuse this business that came to his door.
"OK."
Zhou Ziwen took the package off the bicycle, then walked up to Blind Zhao and carefully opened the package.
"Hey, it's still a tiger skin."
Although Blind Zhao was not blind, and although he only saw a corner of the tiger skin, he knew what it was just from the hair.
"Uncle Zhao has good eyesight."
Zhou Ziwen praised, then opened the package completely, revealing a complete tiger skin.
"No wonder you came to me. I guarantee that in the surrounding villages, there are less than five people who can handle this leather."
Blind Zhao said confidently.
"Uncle Zhao, I've heard of your reputation and came here because of your reputation."
Zhou Ziwen began to explain.
"Then you've found the right person. However, the processing method for your leather is different from that for other leathers, and the cost is also higher."
After saying this, Blind Zhao stopped talking.
“I don’t know how much it will cost.”
Zhou Ziwen immediately responded.
He also knew that it was time to negotiate the price.
Blind Zhao didn't say anything, but stretched out his hands and made the sign of a cross.
"No problem, ten dollars is ten dollars, but the prerequisite is that you must process my leather well."
Seeing Blind Zhao's gesture, Zhou Ziwen nodded readily.
It’s only ten dollars, which may be a bit much for others, but it’s no big deal for Zhou Ziwen.
As long as the leather can be processed well, he is willing to spend a little more money.
"Okay, leave the leather here and come back for it in half a month."
Seeing Zhou Ziwen agreed, Blind Zhao nodded with satisfaction. Since the person was brought by Zhao Yonghua, he did not mention the issue of deposit.
After all, the monk can run away but the temple cannot, unless Zhou Ziwen doesn't want this skin anymore.
"good."
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
With Zhao Yonghua as his guarantor, he was not afraid.
After all, they are all people who know each other well.
This is also the reason why Zhou Ziwen went to Wu Dagang for advice.
After leaving Blind Zhao's house, Zhao Yonghua warmly invited him to visit the production team.
"Uncle Zhao, let's forget about it today. As you know, the mushroom cultivation base is under construction, and I have to go and keep an eye on it. We need someone there."
Zhou Ziwen politely declined.
"Okay, then come back when you're free. We welcome you to Zhaojia Village anytime."
Zhao Yonghua also knew that Zhou Ziwen was busy with his work, so he didn't force him.
After saying goodbye to Zhao Yonghua, Zhou Ziwen quickly returned to the village.
Just as he was about to go to the mushroom cultivation base to take a look, Li Lei from the village suddenly ran over in a hurry.
"Zhou Zhiqing, don't go. Someone's seriously injured over there. Go take a look!"
"Where is the injured person?" Zhou Ziwen asked hurriedly.
"It's right over there at Xiaotianpo." Li Lei replied.
"Brother Li, I'll go over first. Go find Zhu Jianguo and ask him to bring the first aid kit over."
Zhou Ziwen turned the car around and immediately rushed towards Xiaotianpo.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Hearing this, Li Lei did not delay and continued to run to the village clinic.
On this side, Zhou Ziwen arrived at Xiaotianpo at lightning speed.
From a distance, I saw a group of people gathered there.
"Make way, everyone, let me go in and take a look at the situation."
Because he didn't know what was going on, in order not to waste time, Zhou Ziwen started shouting from a distance.
His shouting startled the people who were watching the excitement.
As soon as they heard Zhou Ziwen's voice, everyone dispersed to let him pass.
"Make way, Zhou Zhiqing is here!"
"Zhou Zhiqing is here, please don't block the road."
…
By the time the road was cleared, Zhou Ziwen had already arrived in front of the crowd.
He did not delay, got off the bicycle, handed it to a fellow villager, and quickly came to the injured person.
The injured person was an educated youth who had just gone to the countryside the day before. He was now slumped on the ground, holding his right foot tightly with both hands, which was covered in blood.
"Is your foot hurt?"
Zhou Ziwen came up to him and asked.
"yes."
The man nodded palely.
"Can you please let go of your hands? Let me check the situation first."
Zhou Ziwen continued speaking.
"good."
The man removed his clenched hand, his expression distorted as he touched the wound.
After he moved the wound away, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but take a breath.
Because the man's heel was cut off, and the cut piece was only connected by a layer of skin.
Zhou Ziwen also saw bones soaked in blood.
"How did you do it?"
Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but frown.
Although the man's injuries were serious, his life was not in danger, which was why Zhou Ziwen had time to ask.
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience fell silent.
When they saw Zhou Ziwen frowning, a familiar villager began to explain.
"He was hit by another educated youth's hoe. The educated youth didn't hold the hoe firmly, and it flew onto him."
After hearing this explanation, Zhou Ziwen fell silent for a moment.
He's grown up, but he can't hold the hoe steadily. He even hits someone with it and cuts off their heels.
Could it be that there is some grudge between the two of them?
Although he had some wild thoughts in his mind, Zhou Ziwen did not delay in saving people. He asked on the spot: "Who has boiled water? Bring some over first."
"I have some cold water."
Someone in the crowd immediately handed over a kettle.
"Just bear with it, I'll help you rinse first."
Zhou Ziwen took the kettle and said to the injured educated youth.
"Um."
This educated youth also knew that his injuries were quite serious, and whether he could recover depended on Zhou Ziwen.
So this will be especially listening to him.
"Your injury is quite serious. I'll help you clean it first. We'll need to go to the county town later."
Zhou Ziwen spoke as he helped him clean the wound.
The man's injuries were indeed serious. Only a little skin was left on his heel, and even the bones were cut off.
This kind of injury cannot be treated at his current level.
The only thing he could do was to help him stop the bleeding and then send him to the county town as soon as possible.
After all, it was just a clinic with limited medical facilities. Even if he had the ability, he couldn't treat the disease. (End of this chapter)
