"I just counted them, and all the hides are worth two hundred and twenty-five dollars. I'll give you one hundred dollars as a deposit, and the rest will be paid after you receive the goods."
Zhang Shuguang directly counted out ten Great Unity notes and handed them to Song Zhaohui.
"Little brother, there's no need to pay a deposit. We trust your character and your ability."
When Zhang Shuguang made a large purchase in the morning, it was all done right under their noses. From beginning to end, the young boy never bargained.
As long as he likes something, he will pay for it immediately without any hesitation.
Besides, those two water deer from yesterday weighed at least 700 to 800 kilograms in total, but they were thrown away like trash and just said they didn’t want them anymore.
A person with such a big hand would not bother to be fooled by a few animal skins.
"Okay, see you later then."
After bidding farewell to Song Zhaohui and the other two, Zhang Shuguang and Zheng Yushan walked out of Huilong Town and got in a jeep heading towards the military living area.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to ask me?"
Seeing that Zheng Yushan seemed to be hesitant to speak, Zhang Shuguang took the initiative to ask.
"Is the winter in Qilu Province particularly cold?"
Zheng Yushan's hometown is in the water town of Jiangnan. Although it is not as hot as southern Xinjiang, it is not particularly cold either.
"It's still quite cold in winter. Although not as extreme as in the Northeast, it can still be around 10 degrees below zero."
In the original owner's memory, winter was the most difficult time, especially during the war years. Almost every winter, people in the village would freeze to death.
"No wonder you want to buy animal skins to keep warm, but clothes made of animal skins just feel weird to me."
The image of a savage appeared in Zheng Yushan's mind.
She couldn't imagine what the handsome Zhang Shuguang and the cute Zhang Panpan would look like wearing animal skins.
"What are you thinking? You don't think you can just sew unprocessed animal fur and wear it, right? These furs need to be processed again.
If it is simpler, it can be made into a sheepskin coat or the lining of a sheepskin coat.
To make it more complicated, you can soak the animal fur until it softens, then add water and quicklime and soak it for two weeks.
Then remove the hair from the pores, remove the fat and subcutaneous tissue inside, and then color it, and it can be sewn into a fashionable and beautiful leather jacket.
Besides making clothes, you can also make quilts to keep you warm in winter!"
Various styles of leather jackets can be purchased through the system. Zhang Shuguang plans to resell them and mail them home.
"I know about leather jackets. My brother has a leather jacket that the Air Force wears, and he pestered my dad to use his connections to get him one."
As soon as Zhang Shuguang explained, Zheng Yushan immediately remembered the piece of clothing that her brother treasured.
"The Air Force leather jacket does look good on you. And there are officers and officers too. Officers and officers are even more stylish. My dad is a colonel, so why haven't I seen him wear one?"
In the 1960s and 1970s, the Air Force leather jackets, and the officers' and officers' leather jackets that symbolized honor and status, were definitely every man's dream clothes. They looked good and gave him face when he showed them off.
"Captain Zhang had just been promoted to major when he went to northern Myanmar to carry out an undercover mission. When he was issued new uniforms this fall, he should have been promoted to officer.
My dad has a brand new officer's uniform in his closet, I'll give it to you when I get home."
Zheng Yushan didn't hesitate at all and directly gave Zheng Zheng the officer's suit that he hadn't worn yet.
"No need. Didn't you say you'd be issuing new uniforms in the fall? I'll just wait and wear mine. You should leave Uncle Zheng's uniform to your brother."
Zheng Yuhui already disliked him, and if Zheng Yushan gave him the officer position again, Zheng Yuhui would definitely be furious with him.
"Don't even think about Captain Zhang wearing this one, he has to wear it on many formal occasions.
You don't have to worry about my brother. Before he joined the army, he did ask my father for it. But after he joined the army, he didn't dare to wear it even if I gave it to him."
Before joining the army, one may still have some love of beauty and vanity, but after joining the army, an ordinary soldier would not dare to show off in the uniform of an officer.
The two chatted and soon arrived at the military compound. Zhang Shuguang parked the jeep in the yard. Su Hong heard the sound and came out of the house.
"Yushan, are you having fun?
"Xiao Guang, why did you buy so many things?"
Su Hong was startled by the mountain of things piled on the back seat of the jeep.
"Mom, these are all ethnic minority clothes and accessories. They don't require tickets, so I bought some and planned to mail them home as gifts for my grandmother's family and my eldest aunt's family."
Zhang Shuguang began to move things out of the car.
"Okay, I'll write a letter back to ask about your grandparents' health, Shengli's academic performance, and whether anyone is bullying him."
When she heard that the gifts were for her elder sister-in-law and her parents' family, Ru Suhong immediately stopped talking.
A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring. Su Hong is always grateful for the help she received from her elder sister-in-law and her family over the years.
"Yushan, you don't need to help. Let Xiaoguang move it by himself. Are you tired from playing today? Come back to the house with auntie. I'll pour you some honey water."
Su Hong pulled Zheng Yushan, who was ready to help, back into the house, leaving Zhang Shuguang to move things again and again.
"I couldn't stop myself from buying too much."
When he bought the things, most of them were delivered to the car by the vendors. Now that he was carrying them downstairs himself, Zhang Shuguang realized more clearly how much he had bought.
"It looks good. Yushan is beautiful. She looks good in anything she wears."
In the main room, Zheng Yushan was wearing ethnic costumes and a head full of silver jewelry, showing them to Su Hong.
"Shuguang bought them all for me. I told him I didn't want them, but he didn't listen!"
Zheng Yushan lowered her head, her face flushed with shame, and her heart was filled with sweetness.
“The first time you two went out together, Hikaru should have bought you a gift.
Xiaoguang made a lot of money as a buyer back home, so there's no need to save money for him."
Su Hong gave an approving look to her eldest son who was busy moving things in and out.
"Mom, I brought back a few sets of clothes for you and your sister. Do you like them?
This is the traditional costume of the Yi people, this is the Bai people, this is the Buyi people, this is the Lisu people..."
In the town that morning, Zhang Shuguang felt that the clothes of various ethnic groups were all very beautiful. It was difficult for him to choose, so he simply bought them all. After all, he was not short of the money.
"Why are you buying so many clothes, kid? It's a waste if you can't wear them all.
Also, your sister is growing up, so the clothes you bought won’t be suitable for her next year.”
It’s not that Su Hong is stingy with the money, she just thinks it’s unnecessary.
"It's okay. If I can't wear them all, I'll keep them for my cousin's children. We have a lot of relatives, so we won't waste them.
As for these clothes, shoes, hats, and other gifts, I will arrange for them to be mailed tomorrow."
"Mom, you talk to Yushan first. I have to go to town to do some things. Don't rush to cook. Wait until I come back and make pickled fish."
I brought home several big fish yesterday, and now I still have several of them kept in a big basin in the yard.
