Chapter 407 408: Here Comes the Troublemaker
Zhou Huaian sat aside and said, "You drive the car. Let's go to Deshengtang to sell pig skin and herbs."
Zhou Yiding nodded, "I think it's more comfortable to hunt wild boars. Everything from head to toe can be sold for money."
"That's true." Zhou Huaian said loudly, "On the way back, go to the town and bring the polished tree stump home."
Zhou Yiding nodded. "There is a rattan chair next door to his house. Do you want to take a look? I think it's quite comfortable to sit on."
“Yes.”
The tractor passed through two intersections and arrived at the north city intersection. Zhou Yiding turned off the engine and the two got out of the vehicle. They picked up the baskets filled with herbs and pig skins and walked towards Deshengtang together.
Passing by the department store, Zhou Huaian found that Wang Zhen's business was still booming, with four or five customers inside at noon.
Wang Zhen saw the two and asked in surprise, "Why are you here so late today?"
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "Send some things to sell, and come over to buy something."
"Okay, I'll go open the door to the backyard." Wang Zhen walked out from the counter and went straight to the backyard.
The two men gave Wang Zhen the python meat wrapped in vegetable leaves, and he accepted it without hesitation.
After giving the wild boar skin and bitter gall to Wang Zhen, Zhou Huaian took out the pine wood and mulberry yellow, "I collected them on the mountain the day before yesterday, and also dug some Tianmen essence."
Wang Zhen looked at them one by one and said, "These pieces are of good quality. It would be better if they were mulberry yellow."
Zhou Yiding asked curiously: "Why is the one from the mulberry tree better?"
Wang Zhen smiled and said, "Mulberry trees like this can be sold for two or three hundred yuan per catty, and miscellaneous wood mulberry like this can be sold for 41 catties. But this thing is weighed, so these few pieces can be sold for more than 200 yuan."
Zhou Yiding nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "You're right, a few yellow mushrooms can be sold for more than a hundred yuan, which is much easier than selling wild boar meat."
After weighing, the four mulberry fungus weighed a total of 6.3 jin and were sold for 252 yuan.
Zhou Huaian was so happy that his mouth stretched to the back of his head when he thought that after he got the money from selling the herbs back, he would not have to give half of it away.
He happily poured the Tianmen Essence from his backpack into the weighed bamboo basket and said, "Doctor Xiao Wang, take a look."
Wang Zhen picked up a handful and looked at it. "They are all half wilted from the sun, so let's call it 20 cents per pound!" He stood up and looked at the scale. "12 pounds without the skin."
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "Not bad, I earn more than two yuan!"
Zhou Yiding was also happy for him and patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, the Mountain God has been taking good care of you these days!"
Zhou Huaian grinned, "Hehe! Wait until the winter solstice to buy a goat to offer to him."
Wang Zhen also said: "People who go to the mountains should worship the mountain gods more often!"
Zhou Yiding looked at her curiously after hearing this, "This is superstition. Doctor Xiao Wang also believes it?"
"What can I say? Some things cannot be explained by common sense." Wang Zhen smiled and walked into the house. "Wait a minute, I'll get you the money."
"Okay!"
A few minutes later, the two men came out from the backyard of Desheng Hall.
Zhou Huaian said, "Let's go weigh two bundles of tobacco leaves and buy some batteries for my grandfather so that he won't be reluctant to put away the radio."
"Yes!" Zhou Yiding sighed, "Don't say that it consumes a lot of electricity. It will be fine when the electricity is turned on."
Zhou Huaian said with a smile: "When electricity is connected, some of the old people may find the electricity cost too high and be reluctant to use it!"
“It’s entirely possible!”
Zhou Huaian went to weigh two bundles of tobacco leaves and some peach cakes. When they returned to the street corner and saw the Xinhua Bookstore, he remembered buying a reward for Zhou Xiaoqian and went to buy a pen.
He came out and walked to the door, then thought about it and went back to find Journey to the West and bought both volumes, then went out and got on the tractor.
He handed Journey to the West to Zhou Yiding and said, "Look, the printing on children's books is really beautiful nowadays."
Zhou Yiding flipped it open, took a look, and said with a smile, "I'd better buy it for them."
Zhou Huaian smiled and nodded, "Last time I told them that if they scored 100 points, they would get a five-dollar reward. This time they passed the test, which proves that they have made progress, so I'll give them a reward!"
Zhou Yiding smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "This is a good job!"
"Alas!" Zhou Huaian sighed, "That's only now. Before, I didn't even have money to buy cigarettes. How could I buy them?"
"That's true!" Zhou Yiding pulled the brake and said, "Let's go!"
The tractor rumbled across the bridge and went uphill to the asphalt road leading back.
"Fuck~" Zhou Yiding cursed as he looked ahead, "Youngest, there are a few second-rate guys blocking the middle of the road, looking like they want to cause trouble!"
"What?" Zhou Huaian opened his eyes and saw five thugs standing in a row in the middle of the road with sticks and machetes in their hands.
After a closer look, he found that the guy with the flat head in the middle looked like the curly guy who robbed people on the bridge last time. "Drive over and take a look."
Zhou Yiding nodded, pulled the handbrake about ten meters away from the gangsters, and cursed, "Fuck! Ninghe has no lid, if you want to die, just jump in!"
"Fuck your ancestors!" Several hooligans also cursed, "Come down, I'll give you a good beating!"
Zhou Huaian glanced at the short-haired guy in the middle and found that it was indeed the curly-haired guy from last time. The curly-haired guy pointed at him before he even opened his mouth.
"Run, why don't you run? Do you think I can't find you if you ride a tractor?"
Curly put one hand in the pocket of his big bell-bottom pants that could be used as a broom, and held a machete in the other hand. He stood in the middle of the road and pointed at Zhou Huaian arrogantly, "You bastard, get down here obediently, don't wait for me to take action."
Zhou Yiding turned his head and looked at him, "Youngest brother, when did you become enemies with them?"
Zhou Huaian looked at the curly-haired man who was blocking his way in front of him and said slowly, "In June, he stopped me and tried to rob me... but was later taken away by the police station."
He paused, "I have a shotgun hidden under the seat cushion, as well as two ironwood sticks. Take out your things and get ready."
Ever since he was robbed and released from the police station last time, he has been on guard against Curly's revenge, and he is well prepared every time he comes to Ning'an.
"Yes!" Zhou Yiding pulled the brake and they both stood up.
Zhou Huaian stood on the tractor and looked at Juanmao, "Er Gouzi, what do you want to do?"
Curly-haired looked at him sideways, "What are you doing? You still dare to ask me what I want to do? Last time you caused me and my brothers to stay in jail for two months. Shouldn't I be sour on you for this?"
Zhou Huaian pretended not to recognize him, "Oh~ I thought it was someone who wanted to be reincarnated! It turns out to be the jerk who tried to stop me from robbing money last time, but failed to get the money and got beaten up by me instead!"
Curly was so angry that his teeth itched when he saw that he was even more arrogant than himself, "Fuck you, I'm going to fuck your ancestors..."
"Bah! You're a defeated general, and you still dare to come and ask for trouble!" Zhou Huaian said, looking at the other four young people, "Brother, were you tricked by him to serve the dishes?"
"Fuck you..." Curly was so angry that he strode towards him with a knife in hand, "Damn it, today I'm going to let you know why the flowers are so red..."
"Come here!" Zhou Huaian took the hunting rifle handed to him by Zhou Yiding, raised it and aimed at Curly-haired guy, "Come here, you bastard, let's see which is faster, my gun or your knife!"
